Death of Sister FidehS.

Sister M. Fldells (nee Mary
Cusack) beloved and only
daughter.of Mrs. Mary Cusack
of Indian Creek, passed into the
eternal sleep of death Saturday
January 2. at Muskogee, l.. IT,
Her premature ending comes as
sad bereavement to her aged
mother and brothers. Though
she left her home at tn e age of
10, next to the sacred duties,to
which she had pledged herself
IN the religious calling, her first
and last thoughts were ever of
the dear ones at home.
Sister .Fidelis was born 33
years ago at the homestead still
occupied by her mother and
brother James. Her life In the
religious order of st. Joseph
was given to teaching and her
indefatigable energy and love
for duty brought on the sickness
which ended so sadly. Her
health began failing last winter
while teaching at St. Teresa's
Academy, Kansas City, Mo. In
the hope of improving her con-
d ition she was sent to Muskogee
in August 1902. The hoped for
improvement did not come and
she gradually went into decline
Her brothers, Rev. Thomas
Cusack of Winchester, ILL.,, and
John B. Cusack of Boulder,
W ere at her bedside during her
last moments. The remains
were brought TO st. Louis for
interment, which took place on
Tuesday, Jan. S, at Convent of
Our Lady of Good Counsel. The
three brothers of the deceased
were present at the funeral SER
vice, which was as beautiful as
it was solemn. The solemn
mass o. requiem was celebrated
by Father Il. E CusaCk assisted
by Father John Ly ons of Indian
Creek. Fathers II. Walsh and II
Demsey of st. Louis, Among
the clergy present were Fathers
E. j. Shea, o. J. Macdonald,
P. Carney, S. Brady, M. Taylor,
II, MulvehiIl, D. Mulcahy, j.
Gilfillan, e. McKown, II. AL
ward, G. A. O'Reilley of Ed
wardsville, F. Meyers of Mitch
ell, II. Fennessey of Alton, also
the Misses Hagen of Alton.
This large concourse of clergy
attested to the high esteem in
which the departed young sis
ter was held. The dear old
mother and brothers have the
sincere sympathy of their
friends in Monroe county in the
loss of one so young, so good, so
noble and blessed. -
Six of the Sisters of the Order
of st. Joseph acted as pail
bearers. They were class mates
of Sister Fidelis.

Chicago, Jan. ,2a-John D

1t is given out on good author

high moral ground is taken that
these Contributions have been
indirectly wrung from the poor

FENCING CHAMPION.
F. Darrienlat Willing to Defend His
Title

Fencing has taken great steps forward
within the past couple years In Washing
ton. and as a result many experts from for
eign countries have located here. F. OAR
rienlat, fencing master of the Washington
Fencing Club, was the first teacher, set
Ting down in this city some twelve years
ago. He proved big success from the
start, and now his pupils embrace the elite
of Washington. AS the fencing sport be-
came more popular naturally the result
was a controversy as to who is the most
expert in the city. Friends of the different
teachers back up their leader, and as re-
suit the discussions over the subject have
become heated at times. At the present
time. to settle the much-mooted question
of superiority, F. Darrienlat stands ready
to post wager of 500 for g bout with
any one under the rules of the United
States Fencing League, or If this ofer is
spurned, he will go into a tourney for
general prize. the different teachers of the
city competing. There is no doubt but that
such tournament would create grea.
deal Of interest. and 1t Is to be hoped that
the details will be worked out.

IupaE HOOKER UNDER FIRE.
Charges Filed Before New York state
Bar Association.

A a;snatch from Albany. N. Y, yesterday
sovs. Formal charges of the bar associa-
t,or of Jamestown against State Supreme
court Justice w. B. Hooker, former repre-
sentative In Congress, were brought before
the State Bar Association today. The
charges quote the report Of Fourth As
.,,+.nt Postmaster General Bristow rela-
tive tn alleged Irregularities in the post Of
fees at Dunkirk and Fredonia, with REFER
eY.ce to appointments and rentals OF post
office buildings, and set forth that M II.
Tav,or named in General Bristow's report
was amounted postmaster at Dunkirk upon
Justice Hooker's recommendation, and that
Justice Hooker was and Is one of the own
ers of the post Office building In Dunkirk'
alleged to have been the subject or Excess
sive rental.
sImmediately upon the publication Of the
renort." saws the document, local public
attention was directed to the foregoing
statements therein, and to their approvai
by the President, and 1t was vehemently
charged that Justice Hooker was either the
narson primarily responsible for the acts
referred to or that they could not nave been
committed without his consent.
.aThe bar association of the city of James
town has no knowledge that Justice Hooker
has committed any wrong and will greatly
rejoice to be assured of his innocence. II
is however. profoundly impressed with the
belief that these accusation are OF sucn
grave and serious nature and come from
such source that they cannot be disregard
ed or remain unanswered
1.-The jamestown association believes the
time has arrived when 1t Is imperative JUS
tice Hooker should in defense of the char
acter Of the bench which 1t is his highest
duty to preserve untarpished, make public
answer to the accusations against him"

$1,000, 900 FIRE AT STEEL PLANT.
Six Months Product Of ShIby, Ohio.
Mills Destroyed.

A dispatch from Shelby, Ohio. last night
says:
The United States Steel Corporation sus-
tained an indefinite loss by fire late to-
night at the plant OF the Shelby Steel Tube
Company The fire started in one of the
smaller stock rooms from a defective cleo
trio wire. and spread to the larger stock
rooms, completely destroying all of them.
The product of the entire plant for the past
six months was destroyed within an hour.
consisting Of 10000 tons. making in all
$4,000, 600 feet of finished product. and val
ued at 100000.
Battered and twisted the finished product
lies in heap, and is almost a total loss.
Tube works officials state that a portion
can be worked over but 1t will require the
entire capacity of the plant and will delay
the mills on other orders. The stock con-
sisted mostly of locomotive boiler fiues and
government work of various kinds. The
fire was confined to the stock buildings,
which were built at an expense of 100000.
The tubing manufactured by the Shelby
plant was used extensively by the govern
ment for boiler fiues in United States war
vessels. The demand of the government
alone is sufficient to keep a good-sized plant
running continuously the year round. The
United States government has been the best
customer of the local plant. The plant was
erected in 1890 and has made gigantic
strides forward until today 1t covers near
ly ten acres of ground.
