identify the box OF candy in evidence
as that delivered into his custody by
Chief Lees, he answered that he could
not do so positively. but believed it to
be the same. Knight made a motion
TO strike out the testimony of the wit
ness, which was temporarily denied by
Judge Cock, who announced that he
would make a permanent ruling on the
question at some later time.
STICKS 70 STATEMENT.
Bernard j. McVey, the Delaware de-
tective who brought the box of. poison
ed candy from the East. was next call
ed and said that to the best of his
knowledge and belief the chocolates
now in evidence were a portion of the
same he had secured from the Coroner
at Dover, Delaware. He also testified
that Professor Thomas Price, the local
chemist, took from the box seven pieces
of candy in his presence for the pur-
pose of analyzing them. Knight tried to
make McVey admit that he could not
positively identify the candy as being
the same he--ilad brought from Della
ware, but the detective stuck to the
statement that to the best of his
knowledge and belief it was the same.
Professor Price was called, but before
he could give any evidence regarding
the result Of his analyses Of the candy
the defense inteTposed an objection that
the bonbons had not been sufficiently
identified as being the same received by
Mrs Dunning at Dover. In support Of
this objection Knight made long and
brilliant argument, during the course
OF which he fatty charged that much
perjured testimony had been intro
duced by the prosecution in the matter
of the Identification of the chocolates as
being those received by Mrs. Dunning.
He detailed at length the various
hands it had passed through since leav-
ing the possession of the Delaware Cor
oner, and pointed out the many posi-
bilities Of substitution and being tam
pered with by the authorities had they
been so minded.
Attorney MCGOWAN made the further
point that no corpus deficit had been
proved, inasmuch as it had not been
shown that Mrs. Dunning died OF other
than natural causes. Judge Cook over
ruled this objection, but took under ad
visement the one made by Knight, and
Professor Price was excused until the
court can come to a decision.

TELLS OF IT'S TRAVELS.


James w. Erwin, who was a postal
inspector in 1898 and had familiarized
himself with the course of a package
mailed in this city for Dover, Della
ware, gave a detailed account of the
manner Of handling second, third and
fourth class matter in the local Office
and the various routes it would take
and the number Of times it would be
handled before ii reached it's destina-
ton. He also said that presuming the
trains were on time a package leaving
this city on the evening Of August 6
would reach Dover at $50 p. m. Of
August g. There is no date on the
postmark on the wrapper of the box
in evidence and the only decipher-
able letters are 'ran-co." From these
Erwin gave it as his opinion that the
package was mailed in San Francisco.
John Z. Dunnigan, in August, 1885,
distributing clerk in the Ferry post
office, remembered that in the early
part of that month he picked up a
parcel similar in size and shape to the
box Of candy in evidence, which was
addressed to Mrs. John p Dunning
Dover, Delaware. He was engaged in
making up Eastern fourth class mail
at the time. His attention was par
ticularly called to the package because
of the similarity to his own name and
by the further fact that he knew there
was a John p. Dunning connected with
the Associated Press in this city.
| In the latter part of the month Chief
] Of Police Lees. Inspector Erwin and
I Detective McVey came to the post
office and Chief Lees threw upon a
table before the clerks facsimile pack
age with the address photographed
from the original on it. The witness
said he took one look at it and went
on sorting his mail. Detective McVey
came over to him and after some pre-
Iiminary conversation witness informed
the detective concerning what he knew
Of the package he had handled in the
early part of the month.
STARTS FOR KNIGHT.
On cross-examination Knight asked
the witness if he had not told a fellow
clerk named Ford that he didn't know
anything about such package.
Did you get that from Ford?" quer-
led the witness, bridling up.
Yes, L got that from Ford" said
Knight.

The term, high cross, by which this
type of monument is distinguished, is
taken from the annals of the -Four
Masters, where the Cros Ard of Clon-
macnoise is mentioned. From all that
can be learned on the subject these
high crosses were not intended as
sepulchral monuments, but were set
up to make the boundary of the sane
tuary.
There are forty-five high crosses
still remaining in Ireland, all Of them

at, considering the state of disorder
into which the country was plunged
by the invasion of the Norman Eng
lish.
The peculiar form of the Irish
crosses, the most beautiful type Of
the Christian emblem in art, has
variously been explained. An ancient
Pagan symbol consisting of circle
containing cross, and connected with
the old religion Of sun worship, is
found in some prehistoric Irish monu-
ments. as at Newgrange on the Boyne,
and it is supposed that this may have
been adopted for its artistic value.
Another explanation is that the Irish

have never been able to find anything
to support this belief. On the con-
trary, these high crosses never hav-
ing been designed to mark the burial
places of distinguished persons, it is
quite reasonable to suppose that they
were set up during the lifetime of the
people mentioned in the inscriptions.
Thus, King Flann and Colman both
died in 9O4, therefore it is reasonable
to suppose that their crosses were
erected long before that date, probably

Marvellous Occurrence That Has
Been Duly Authenticated.
The Holy Face Of Our Lord Seen
inst. Andre Parish, France.

.Apropos of the recent eucharistic
congress in New York, says the ave
N[aria," unusual interest attaches to
the following well-authenticated mar
rative published by several Of our
French exchanges. 1t was related by
the parish priest of Saint-Andre at
another eucharistic congress held,
some weeks prior to the American one
ut Angouleme, France. The genuine
ness Of the prodigy involved is vouch-
ed for by the diocesan authorities Of
the Ide de Ia Reunion, in which see
Saint-Andre parish is situated.
On the Goth of January, 1902, Faith
err Lacombe was celebrating in his
parish the exercises of the Perpetual
Alteration. He had reached the "Pater
Noster" of his mass when, CHANGING to
raise his eyes to the ostensorium, he
saw species Of shadow, or sombre
aurcole, clearly defined at the upper
portion of the Sacred Host. Continu-
ing the holy sacrifice, he beheld the
progressive formation Of human
conference.-the forehead, eyes, nose,
lips, chin-the full face, in fine, set
off with hair and beard. The express
sion Of the figure was profoundly sor-
rowful; it's complexion was cadaver-
Gus, and the head was slightly in
clined to the right.
The mass over, Father Lacombe re-
turned to the sacristy, quite naturally
prcoccupied with the vision that he
had been witnessing. Distrusting pos
sibly some illusion on his own part,
lie called the Oldest of his altar boys,
youth Of IS or 10 years, and said
to him:
go out and see whether you notice
anything strange about the Blessed
Sacrament"
The young man did so, and in few
moments came hurrying back to the
sacristy, eXclaiming:
Father, there's a man in the osten.
scrium!'
Thereupon the other altar boys has.
tened out to the sanctuary, and they,
too perceived the human countenance
which none but the pastor had noticed
during the holy sacrifice. In the
meanwhile most Of the congregation
had left the church. The pastor sent
for number of sisters who were still
in their pews near the sanctuary. and
without telling them what he himself
had seen asked them to look at the
ostensorium. They did so, and beheld
the holy face Of Our Lord just as the
priess and his altar boys had done.

Another interesting reproduction is
that Of the Mckinley cottage, stand
ing near the main gate. The original
is in Dervock, county Antrim, and is
known as the home Of the great grand
father Of the late President Mckinley.
The McKinleys, or as they spelled the
name in the early days, McKinlay,
were originally settlers from Scotland
in Ulster, whittier they were attract
ed by the linen industry. They won
some reputation in the eighteenth Gen.
tury by their efforts to develop and
exploit the linen manufacture. Like
most of their party, they became
warmly attached to their adopted
country, and when the rebellion of 1898
broke out, England found in the sturdy
Presbyterian stock Of the north some
Of her bitterest and most implacable
enemies.
Francis McKinlay was no exception
to the rule. He was splendid drill
master and soon distinguished him
self by his activity in training the
young patriots of Dervock in the use
Of arms. The knowledge of this fact
was not long in reaching the ears Of
the authorities, and one night the Nc
Kinlay cottage was surrounded by
yeomanry, who battered down the
door and dragged Francis McKinlay
from his bed. The house was burned
and McKinlay hanged to a tree in
front Of the neighboring church. All
day long the body swung in the
breeze, nobody daring to cut it down,
but as night fell, several daring
spirits took the body down and buried
it in the churchyard.

and its antique appearance and rude
style attract much attention from the

and the faces of the fair and innocent;
when we think Of home and country
and the graves of the dear ones who
have fallen asleep-to the love which
drew the eternal Father from the in
finite unseen to clothe Himself with
flesh, to walk with His children, to
die for them, that henceforth every
soul might understand that Love Is
the absolute fact behind, above and
beyond all that appears; that it is the
charity Of God; yea, God Himself.
What is way Of believing and
thinking may be made also a way Of
feeling and acting. A passionate de-
votion to the salvation and welfare Of
men is aroused in innumerable souls,
who, smitten with sacred enthusi-
assn, leave father and mother and
hsme and country that they may be
come the servants Of the outcast. the
abandoned, the fallen, and all whom
inevitable circumstance and pitiless
law overwhelm and crush.
To this new mood and temper no
condition, no state in which human
being may be placed, appears to be
hopeless. The saving power of in
finite love is infinite. When reason
despairs, the heart still believes and
hopes; and the best and the noblest
are not those who calculate. but those
who with divine confidence yield to
the impulses which descend from
worlds to which the understanding
cannot rise. This is the power which
moves and consecrates the lives Of
mothers and Of all true lovers, Of pa
triots and saints, of virgins and mar
tyrs. Life is not balance sheet-it
is breathing of God, awakening souls
to service and love. When man is
prepared to live and to die for some
good cause that is all the worlds, and
not alone his own, he has become a
dweller in realms which lie beyond
the reach Of mere intellect. 10 these
heights the life and teaching of Christ
have lifted innumerable souls, en-.
aiding them to love and serve not
merely the beautiful, the brave and
the generous, but to love and serve
those who have nothing amiable in
themselves, who are stricken with poy
erty. vice and disease, who distrust
and hate us, who are our enemies
an their own.

Golfers Career.

Peter r.. Collier, the publisher of
Golfers Weekly and the head of the
great publishing firm bearing his

Irish Catholic. He was born in Ire
land, December -, 1s49, says the Re-
public. His parents were poor, and
Ireland, with it's English oppression,
did not offer the opportunity the boy
Peter sought. At the age of 16 he
made up his mind to come to Ameri-

for education and wealth is told by
himself in the following brief inter-
view:

shops and managed to save enough
money to enter a Catholic seminary.
