GAIL where he soon became known for
his devotion, close application to his stud

his superiors. He remained in this college

a diocesan seminary. In this position he
remained until August. 1889. making him
self beloved by the ever thoughtful and
kindly interest he manifested in those
with whom he was brought in contact
During his professorship at Seton Hall,
Father Messmer was for eight years in
active charge Of st. Mary's Orphan asy-
lum as chaplain; a considerable portion of
his time was also. devoted to pastoral
work in st. Peters church, Newark. Ii

most earnest work was done that he was
at his own request cOnsecrated by Bishop
Iardetti on March 81, 1892.
Being called in 1889 to the chair of
canon law in the University of Wash
ington. he went TO Rome to better pre-
pare himself for the new responsibilities

sions and afterwards in collaboration
with DR.. OConnell, now rector of the
American College at Rome, prepared for
publication the deliberations of that IA
nous body. The work was published in
1856 and is regarded as a model of
scholarly effort. For the arduous work
implied in bringing this work to a sue
cessful termination Pope Leo conferred

works of Bishop Messmer is one in
Latin, Praxis Synodalis, written for the
provincial council Of New York in 1888.

TO POISON THE GAR.
The Entire Russian Royal Family Has a
Narrow Escape from aa
Death.

Berlin, Nov 21.--Sinister rumors come
from Skiernewice, Poland, accounting for
the sudden death of the little Princess
Elizabeth Of Hesse, niece Of the Czarina
Of Russia, at the moment Of a family re-
union. The unfortunate little princess
and her father were the guests at Skier
neWice of the Gar and CZarina and it is
said that an attempt was made to poison
the whole royal party. The princess was
the only victim, although the Czarina was
made very i'll and the Gar was more or
less affected by the poison.
There was some wonder that the Gar
and Czarina Gid not attend the funeral of
their niece, but it is now explained that
they were too i'll to be present.
The accounts given Of the illness OF the
princess tally with the suggestion Of poi
son, but not with that Of typhoid fever.
which was announced as the cause of
death. 1t had been said by the physicians
at first that the trouble resembled cholera
and later the official statement was
amended to appear that the princess had
died Of a particularly malignant attack of
typhoid fever
The Grand Duchess of Coburg mother
of the divorced Grand Duchess Of Hesse
and of the Czarina, is using all her infiu-
ence to utilize the present sad event to
bring about a reconciliation between her
daughter and the Grand Duke of Hesse.
Her efforts have awaited nothing so far,
since the mother of the dead princess is
said to be too deeply in love with the
Grand Duke Cyril Of Russia, her cousin,
who may sometime mount the throne of
Russia, to accept any possible overtures
from her former husband
This was evident at the funeral, when
the divorced pair touched hands across
the coffin OF their child and then went

time in three years.
