Priest Cured of Drink

The foliowinE letter is written by q Priest to an unfortunate friend;

CHATTER xxxvTT. The CardInaI,e Puppets.

His Eminence the Cardinal de Mo reno knew well how to gauge the moods and tempers of the English peo- pie of this time. He had rightly guessed that the Duke of 'Weasex, whom but d few hours ago his coun- tryEiien were ready to condemn to a shameful death. would remain the hero of the hour, until the enthusiasml of h.s friends had once more cooled down to a more normal pitch.,
 Mary Tudor was deeply grateful to the Cardinal for what she truly be- iieved was a wonderful triumph of per suasion over the obstinacy of guilty conscience. If in her innermost heart she bitterly resented the fact that Wes- sex owned his acquittal to outside in fluences rather than to the will of his Queen, she nevertheless was ready enough to acknowledge how complet e-a His Eminence had succeeded and how l;ttle ground she had fors not keeping her share of the momentous compact which she had made with him.

 My paternal ancestor was General John sevier. the hero of thirty-five battles. in which his sword flashed where the fight wae fiercest and wonderful to relate in all these battles he was never wounded nor defeated.
 Sarah Hawkins was the first wife of John Sevier and have heard my grandfather Wyly tell of the delight it gave himsto hear his mother relate of the beautiful women and brave men of Sarah Hawkins' time and con. epicuous among the number wac Andrew Jackson who was her partner in the dance.
 But the Aarriase of John sevier and Sarah Hawkins was of short duration --for the young wife whose beauty had flashed, life a meteor across his youth and perfumed the morning of his life with the incense of her love and with her last smile placed in his. arms one tender floweret. his daughter, Elizabeth. which in a measure lessened his grief for she young wife. Time softened the sorrow and healed the wound and in few years John Sevier married Catherine Sherrill, a daughter of one of the early settlers. To this superb young woman, whose wit and brilliancy brighteped the meridian Of his life. John sevier gave the deeper love Of his naturer years. Their first meeting was fraught with bit Of TO- -mance. Catherine Sherrill was. one day walking alone and she spied an Indian in pursuit of her, and fleeing

 MARCH IN PARADE. 1
Thirty-ave Hundred Persons Were on the Reviewing Stands. Including the Distinguished Prelates
 of the Church

New York, May 2.--Sixty thousand Roman Catholic laymen marching in procession. brought to climax and formally ended the week k-long cele- bration of the centennary of the found ing of the Roman Catholic diocese of New York.
 No more perfect day could have fa- vored the parade. The sky was all most cloudless, the air clear and brac- ing. Along Fifth Avenue and through Fifty-seventh Street, where the line of march led to the dlsbanding point. hundreds of thousands of persons were massed and the immense reviewing stand which had been. erected in front of the cathedral. made a picture the like of which was seldom seen. It had been built to accommodate $500 per- sons and its whole capacity was placed at the disposal of women and children and the distinguished prelates who have been participating in the observ- ance of the centenary. The prelates In their gorgeous robes. occupied a space in the center of the stand, and banked around them on every side. were the thousands of women and chill dren.

SITUATION IN KOREA
TO BEGIN CAMPAIGN AGAINST Dxs-
 ORDERLY FORCES.
The Government Now Proposes se Fo- lice the Entire Country Thor oughly--The .Anti-Jspsnese
 Agitation and Causes.

saoul Nav 2.-The Government of Korea. acting in cooperation with tue officers of the Japanese resident gen. eral at Seoul Prince Ito. Is preparing plans for an active and final campaign against the disorderly forces in Korea.
 An investigation made through the careful canvass of the Associated Press correspondent. shows that the present disturbed conditions in the interior Of Korea are due chiefly to the insufn- ciency of the protection available for the farmers and other peaceful inhab- itants. The disturbing element today is composed largely of men out of employment, discharged Korean sol diers, and regular bandits It Is the practice of the maruders to -oppress and rob the farmers, to attack vil- lages and to kill Japanese. The bandit element probably numbers altogether more than 5000. The real Korean pa- triots, who are irreconciliable towards the idea of a Japanese protectorate. do not exceed 1000. but 1t undoubtedly is a fact that there exists deep feel. ing of hatred toward the Japanese among majority. of the Korean peo- pie.
 It was learned also that at the pres ent time many things are being done by Japanese coolies and Japanese mer- chants and traders of the lower class. especially in the interior of the coun- try, to arouse the resentment of the
