John Joseph Kahn, archbishop of St.
Louis, died last night at st. Agnes
sanitarium, this city, where he had
been patient since May -. Death
had been hourly expected for several
days. A number of priests and rela-

charity, known in the religious world
as Sister Mary Joseph, were at his
bedside when the end came. Heart
disease was the ailment for which
the archbishop was first treated

but n general breakdown from over
work caused him much trobule. Re-
Gently appendicitis developed and the
prelate rapidly sank, an operation,
which was deemed necessary, being
innrnc ica hle.

FAITH HEALING UPHELD.
The New York Court OF Appeals Rene
ders an Interesting Decision.

Albany. y. V, Oct. 14.-Especial in
terest attaches to the decision hand
ed down Tuesday by the court of ap-
peals in the case of the Peoples VS..
Pierson, declaring dependence upon
faith healing in the case of sickness
not to be criminal negligence. Pier
son lives at White Plains and early in
1901 was sentenced to $500 fine, or 500
days imprisonment for criminal neg
lect in failing to provide licensed
physician to attend his 16-months-old
adopted daughter in a case of bron-
chial pneumonia which afterwards
proved fatal.
The conviction was secured under
the penal code, which holds that "a
person who omits without lawful eX-
cuse to perform n duty by law i'm
posed upon him, to furnish food,
clothing, shelter or medical attend
ance to minor is guilty" etc.
Justice Bartlett, in the prevailing
opinion III the appellate division, held
that the medical attendance" re-
ferred to in the statute does not
mean exclusively the attendance of a
medical practitioner in the general
sense of the term. The appellate di-
vision reversed the conviction.

A SEVERE GALE.
Coast OF virginia Strewn with Wreck-
age = Two RRrges Lost - Surfman
Rescues Three Sailors,

AchCuen lnTee Sailors
Norfolk, Va, Oct. i2.-The north
east gale that has ragged over this re-
gion since Thursday has practically
spent its power, but for miles and
miles along the Virginia coast the
beach is Uttered with wreckage, and
throughout this entire section of the
country devastation lies in the wake
of the storm. Thousands of people
crowded trains to the coast yesterday
and saw the wrecks of the big bargeS
Ocean Belle and Georgia near Vir-
ginia Beach. There is nothing left
but an indscriminate tangle of debris
along the shore at Dam Neck to
mark the end of the three-masted
schooner Nellie w. Hewlett.
The body of Capt. George II. Evans,
of the Georgia, washed ashore late
Saturday night, two miles south of
Sea Tack life saving station and is
now at that station. The body of
George Peters, colored seaman of
the same vessel, has not been recov-
cred. The rescue of the remaining
three negroes of the crew by Surfman
William Capps, of Sea Tack station,
was one of the most heroic acts in
the history of the surfmen on the
Virginia coast.
Capps, while two miles from any
other human being and patrolling his
stretch between the stations, saw one
negro over 100 yards off shore in the
roaring surf. Without a moments
| considera ton of the peril he was
facing, he stripped and plunged into
the sea that was already a seething
mass of wreckage from the barges
and after half-hour battle, single
handed and alone, brought the uncon-
scious man ashore. He had not re-
covered his breath before he saw
through a rift in the spume another
/ form and once more he went into the
surf This time, by reason of his e4-
haustion, his struggle was n harder
one, but he eventually succeeded in
saving the negro.
Placing both men under the lee of a
cliff, he started back to the station to
give the alarm, when he saw the third
negro in the waves, and for third
time plunged in and brought an un-
conscious man ashore. Capps did not
cease his work until all three men
had been cared for at the station.
The passenger steamer reported of
the capes Saturday night in a danger
Gus condition is thought to be the
steamer Hamilton, from New York
The Hamilton reached Norfolk at
o'clock Sunday morning after q ter.
rible experience in the gale.
Locked in the bowels of the plung.
ing ship the foreigners, men, women
and children, became panic stricken
and their shrieks of terror could be
heard above the gale. Many of them
were bruised by the tossing of the
boat and three received fractured
limbs, aside from other hurts.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
A Missouri Editor Ordered TO Pay
$500 for Contempt of Court.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Oct. 14.-The
state supreme court on Tuesday
handed down its decision in the case
of Editor Shepherd, the Warrensburg
newspaper man who was fined $500
several months ago en- the charge of
contempt in that he published an ar
ticle attacking the court. The lower
court is sustained. The opinion, which
is written by Justice Marshall, and
concurred in by all the other judges,
is lengthy and cites eases, beginning
with the time of Caesar, to show
that this court has the inherent
power and jurisdiction to punish con-
tempt summarily."
After saying that the article in
Shepherds paper had in reality at
tackled the honesty, integrity and
purity of every branch of the state
government ard of the several Off
GERS, it continues:
IF these changes are true the per-
sons who are thus charged should be
prosecuted and removed from Office.
On the other hand any one who
makes such charges should be pre-
pared to make some sort of decent
showing of their truth"
Judge Marshall says that instead of
proving his charges, or making the
amende honorable" by withdrawing
them and apologizing for his offence,
Shepherd challenged the jurisdiction
of the court and sought to escape on
technical grounds.

A Sweeping Injunction.

Hamilton, Oct. 14.-Judge Belden
yesterday granted one of the most
sweeping injunctions ever issued by
an Ohio court. 1t was directed
against the Hamilton Typographical
union, the Hamilton cooperative
trades and labor council, and the Nom
pareil Printing Co., publishers of the
county trade organs. The defendants
are enjoined from continuing a boy

that interference of every sort with
the company's business must stop.
The court said the constitution gave
any company the right to employ
whomsoever they saw fit. The boy
colt was to force the plaintiff to
abandon it's open shop" policy.

Erie, Pa, Oct. 14.-Yesterday while
several Erie fishing tugs were en-
gagged in setting or drawing nets on
the Canadian side of Lake Erie, they
were pounced upon by the patrol

Moore, and several deck hands. The
Star, which is one of the smallest
and, slowest of the bunch of boats

bail Champions OF the World.
Boston, Oct. 1.-THE Boston Amer
leans shut out the Pittsburg Nation
ais yesterday and won the worlds
baseball championship to the almost
frenzied delight of 1000 enthusiasts.
While the attendance at all the pre-
vious games of the series has been
larger than this, the demonstration
which followed Dineen's striking out
of Hans Wagenr in the ninth equalled
any COLLEGE football game.
The worlds champions were borne
to their dressing rooms on the shoul-
ders of thousands and the cheering
lasted many minutes.
Philippe, who was such an enigma
to the Bostons in the first rev games,
essayed to pitch for the visitors for
the sixth time. He was not only bat.
ted hard but he saw his rival, Dineen,
carry off the honors by holding the
Nationals down to four scattered hits.
which. backed up by perfect fielding
prevented single Pittsburg man get
ting farther than third base.
Dineen struck out seven men and
his support by Criger contributed
materially to the success Gf the game.
The latter's bluff throw to second in
the fourth inning, followed by quick
snap of the ball to Collins, cat-hing
Leach off the bag, was the best piece
of work in the game.

BLUES ARE CHAMPIONS.
The Cleveland American LeRSuerS
Win the Ohio Championship.


Cincinnati, Oct. 12.-The Cleveland
American league club won the series
from the Cincinnati National league
club yesterday by taking the second
game of the double-header, making it
stand to for the Ohio champion
ship. By great batting in the first
game, the Cincinnati club tied the
score in the eighth inning and won
out in the ninth after two outs.
Ragan was puzzle up to the eighth
inning in the second game and the
Cleveland team could do nothing with
his curves. 1t was so dark after the
seventh inning that the players could
hardly see the ball. The spectators
lighted their score cards and held
them up and swarmed on the field so
Umpire Hurst would call the game.
He absolutely refused and the police
men pushed the crowd back and the
game proceeded to the eighth and
ninth innings, in which Cleveland Sc
cured all their runs.

coffee all the time without much

"There got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves grew
unsteady and my stomach got weak
and I was soon a very sick man. I
quit meat and tobacco, and, in fact,
T stopped eating everything which I
thought might affect me except cof-
fee, but still my condition grew worse
and I was all but wreck.
'"I finally quit coffee and COM
menced to use Postum few years
ago, and am speaking the truth when
say my condition commenced to inn
prove Immediately, and to-day am
well and can eat anything want with

made an impression on the students,
even when Mr.. Cody introduced topics
for which they have professed to feel
a profound contempt.
Mr.. Cody said:
First of all, want to tell you ana
make you feel that mastery Of the tech
nical details of good English pays-it
pays commercially as we'll as in culture
and scholarship. A few days ago one OF
the prominent business men Of Mime
apolis remarked: 'If my employees could
talk to customers, or write to them, in
simple, accurate, idiomatic English they
would be worth 25 per cent more to me
than they are, and I should be glad to
pay every one Of them an increased sal
ary." @- .: -.s s"..e,..-.
Mastery Of the English language Is
made up of small details-the elementary
things that too many Of US think we
have learned all about in the primary
school. When we come to college we
think we have outgrown1 childish things.
