New York, June Aft | had

Rev. Reginald John Campbell. the
famous pastor of the City Temple,
London, was discussing the Whining
ton lynching with a reporter, and he
uttered these words in his quiet way.
They came from his lips distinctly,
and there could be no doubt that the
clergyman meant them.
1.-THE little bishop saw the ex-
preston of surprise that came into the
reporters face and he added :
Yes," with rising infection, and
shut his lips tightly.
His mind had been filled with hor-
ror that Englishmen have of overrid-
ing any law. What he knew of the
negro's crime and his horrible death
at the hands of an infuriated mob
had been gathered entirely from few
headlines in the newspapers. He
knew nothing of the revolving circum-
stances that attended the killing of
Helen Bishop. The papers tod him

WHO THREW THE ROCK?
One Thrown Into a Northeastern
Train, Coming Near Doing
Serious Damage.

Last night three miles south OF
Derby some one threw rock nearly
the size of a hens egg into the ladies'
coach of the Northeastern No. train,
barely missing a lady who was lying
on the seat. The rock came through
hoisted window, and striking the
arm of the seat on the east side OF the
train ricocheted to the other side and
hit the wall and with such a
crashing noise that it woke up many
of the passengers who were riding in
that part of the coach where it struck.
1t was thrown with such force and
the train was running at such high
rate of speed that had the rock struck
some one it would have proved
stunning blow.
1t was evidently the work of some
miscreant who had nothing else to
do at the time and who was bent on
doing some mischief to carry out the
natural inclination of his mind. He
should be hunted down and made to
suffer the full penalty of the law, and
if the law is not severe enough he
should be forced to enter the ring in
a butting contest with the business
end of a billy goat. Doubtless
the officials of the road Will take up
the matter and put detectives on a
still hunt for the man who threw the
rock, for the road cannot afford TO
have the lives of its passengers jeopar-
died by such nefarious acts as that

BISHOP SPALDING TALKS
OF THE DYING PoNTIFF

Bishop Spalding, of the Quincy Ro-
man Catholic diocese, to which
Rock Island is attached, has
paid three visits to the vatican at
Rome and is personally acquainted
with the pontiff who is now evidently
so near deaths door. In a recent in
terview at Peoria Bishop Spalding
said:
Il consider him very great pope.
knew him we'll: he is man of clear
mind, strong will and noble aspira-
tions; lover of peace and concilia-
ton. He came of a family of counts,
his father being Count Pocchi, who
was soldier in the army of the frs t
Napoleon. His mother is said To be a
descendant of Ricnzi, the last of the
Tribunes.'
Il saw him first in 1883 and twice
since that time. He talked very in
terestingly of everything and took "A
very great interest i'm the affairs of
the whole church, and especially in
the Catholic university at Washing
ton. | mentioned the fact to him that
the Italians in this country were not
as well cared for by the church as
they might be, which fact aroused
especial interest on his part.
"He entered the diplomatic service
early in his career, being papal annun-
clio at Brussels, representing the pa
pal states, which at that time occu-
pied quite a territory, the pontif hav-
ing the same temporal power as any
prince.
He became a bishop at about the
age of Sc. He was never widely
known before he became pope. He
was 6S years of age when elected to
the position. He was born in 1870
Concerning the succession Bishop
Spalding did not express himself,
save to say that perhaps the college
of cardinals did not know at this
time who might be elected. The pope
is always elected by the college of
cardinals. of whom there are ~ when
the college is full, but there are al
ways vacancies.

responsibility and credit for bringing
the relief of yesterday and the base
ball loving people of Montgomery in
their entirety are profoundly grateful
to him. He is distinctly and distinc-
lively master of the situation, made
so by the right and might of just
about as game piece of work as has
ever been seen in Montgomery, and in
every way possible he should be up
held in his laudable efforts to have
clean Baseball" And a day or two af-
terward ii took all the available DO
licemen and both teams to protect
him from the mob.
What Rock Island did to Cedar Rap
ids may be judged from the size of
the writeup of the game given in this
mornings Cedar Rapids Republican.
The Republican says: "Beedles was
hit freely and DuvaA on third base
made five errors, is the story of to-
days game" Not even the tabulatcd
score is given.
