against this disease. Pneumonia always
results from a cold or an attack Of in

The notable address by Father Kel-
ley at the missionary congress in Chi
cago, in which he took occasion to
animadvert on the apathy displayed
by Catholic societies in helping the
cause of church extension, has brought
forth adverse criticism from some of
our Catholic contemporaries. Father
Kelley is a young priest, full Of apos-
tolic zeal and he evidently spoke from
personal experience. Some members
Of the Catholic societies with whom,
he came in contact must have treated
him ungenerously when he solicited
aid. and hence his outburst. Catholic
papers should be indulgent with FIR.
Kelley and members Of Catholic So
cieties should be as generous as they
POSSIBLY can in the promotion of
every good cause in the interest Of
the church. When Fr. Kelley makes
another trip in his unique conveyance,

Dublin, and filed professors chair
In that institution. After coming to
the United States, he did not seek a

schools and turned out fine scholars.
He taught his own boys and girls and
prepared them for the higher institu-

and his JOY. Mr.. Griffin was man of
simple faith, and a pious Catholic all
his life. His training in Trinity did

that many citizens Of the Catholic

who would not have voted for Bryan
IN any event. Many Catholics voted
against Bryan for the same reasons
that many Protestants voted against
him-not on religious grounds, but on
political grounds. Catholics have a

w. K. Hicks, of the Minneapolis
board Of education, was again acquit-
ted last Saturday night Of the charge
Of accepting bribe for awarding a
contract to Detective Burns Of San
Francisco. who went under the name
Of Bray and pretended to be doing
plumbing business in this city. It ap-
peared from the evidence that Bray
was given the contract, solely because
he was the lowest bidder, and that
Hicks had not used his influence in
procuring 1t for him. Had Bray been
the highest bidder, the matter would
be different. According to Bray's own
testimony he offered Hicks money
twice, and it was twice refused. But
he resolved that Hicks should take
the money, and SO he wormed himself
into the confidence Of his, intended
victim, took him to lunches, visited
him at his home and took Hicks and
wife out riding in an automobile. He
offered Hicks money the third time
and succeeded in his plot. Hicks was
making improvements in his home and
wanted money, and so he took it from
Bray, giving his personal not there
for. This Bray denied, and a question
of veracity arose between the tempter
and the tempted. Hicks was fortunate
In having James A. Peterson for his
counsel. His attorney made splendid
; defense for his client and made Bray
appear odious in the eyes of the jury.
He denounced Bray's methods severely
and declared that he ought to be in
Hicks place for prosecution for trying
to make Hicks commit a crime t6 send
him to the penitentiary Bray's evil
dence was not sufficiently corroborated
to convince the jury of Hicks guilt
and hence his acquittal. County At
