She was arrested Sunday morning by Officer Brickel on North Willow street Last week she was ar rested with a man named Patrick Hartford, and she saved herself from accompanying him to Jail with a story that she had work to do.

 Chicago, June 30.-'Infidelity, agnos. ticism or absolute indifference is all ready digging the grave of Protestant- ism in the United States. A most inn portant mission of the federation of the fraternal, social and charitable Cath ollie societies is to secure the layman's part in helping to make this country Catholic. Such q hope is not an idle dream. Even the superficial observers and thinkers have not been satisfied with Professionalism and they cannot re. sist the stern, searching logic of Amer- can thought"

STEAMER ASHORE.
The Oregon Springs q Leak and Has Eight Feet of Water in Her Hold.

San Francisco, June BOA special to the Examiner from Seattle, Wash says: The steamer Oregon is ashore atI Dutch harbor with eight feet of water| in her hold.
 On the voyage north the Oregon be gan leaking badly and 1t was found necessary to keep the pumps going con stantly to keep her afioat. She reached Nome with two feet of water in her hold. Her machinery was very badly out of repair.
 As soon as the passengers and carg1 were landed Captain Seeley decided that he could make St Michael, whercl the vessel could be safely beached anc| repaired. After leaving Nome the rud der post gave out and the steamer rel fused to answer her helm. Fortunatei ly the weather was good and Captain Seeley was able to make temporary re pairs. As the leak had not increased and did not appear to be dangerous, h1 decided that he could reach Seattle MI safety and so did not stop at St Micll| ael's. With the pumps going contlntg| ally he found it impossible to keep tn \ water down. and as it was gaining at Il dangerous rate he was compelled to pull into Dutch harbor and beach her. 1t i1 believed the vessel can be saved.
