CATHOLIC PRIEST RESIGNS
He Cannot Accept the Pope's Doc
trines Regarding Modernism.

New York, July 20-The Rev.
Thomas J. Mulvey for nearly nine
years assistant rector of st Edwards
Catholic church, Brooklyn and during
the absence of the Rev. James F.
Mealia acting rector of that parish
has sent a letter to the Ri. Rev.
Charles e. Mcdonnell, bishop OF the
diocese OF Brooklyn, submitting ms
resignation from st. Edwards church
and announcing his immediate with
drawal from the Catholic ministry. In
his letter to the bishop the Reverend
Mr. Mulvey says simply that some OF
the opinions he holds are at variance
with many of the dogmas which he IS
supposed to teach and to defend, and
that ne cannot longer abide this stu
alton.
In a statement he made the re
firing assistant of st. Edwards eX'
planned more at length the motives
which have led him to give up the
Catholic ministry. He said that the
recent utterances of Pope Plus
against what His Holiness termed
Modernism in the Church and the adj
vance OF liberal thinking made 1t i'm
possible for one of the Catholic clergy
who did not agree with the supreme
ponti in his announcement to con
tinue in the service of the Church
without destruction to his own char,
acter. The Reverend Mr.. Mulvey said
that he believed 1t fairer to himself
and the people whom he was supposed
to lead to resign his parish and to
give up his priesthood rather than
continue in opposition to irreconcil'
able fiat.
Father Mulveys action evidently
has been complete surprise to every

How to Reduce Fat
 Prop0rtiOnateIy

Proportion Is the thing. A fat wo- man yearns to reduce her abdomen, but she doesn't want to produce scrawny neck. This fact condemns the dieting method of reducing. You can't starve the fat of one place and not or another. Simply impossible. But why try dieting, or even exercising, when there is better way of reducing fat than either.
 Try the following: One-hah ounce Marmola, 1-2 ounce Fluid Extract Cas- cara Aromatic, 3 I-2 ounces Peppermint Water. Any druggist will fill the above cheaply. Take a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime and sec if In a few weeks you are nos losing about a pound of Tat day--not from places where you are normally plump hut from those that are overly Tat. The receipt works like a charm, l am told, and though 1t produces delight fully apparent results yet 1t IS per" fectly harmless.A Doesn't even cause wrinkles, they say who have used It, nor Interfere with ones diet, which are two other exclusive and important dif- ferences 1t possesses over all other fat reducers 1 ever heard of. Instead Of being harmful fin fact, as so many or the advertised remedies are, 1t improves tho health and appetite and complex ion.

 Gen. Gomez speaks on English and has not sought American companion ship, Comparatiyely few Americans speak Spanish. and not many have sought the acquaintance of the quiet, reserved. and dignified man whom the Cubans know as Jose Miguel" Dur ing the frst intervention Gen. James H. Wilson served for year and a half as military governor of the provinces of Matanzas and Santa Clara During the greater part of that service Gen. Gomez occupied the post of civil gov ernor of Santa Clara. In an official report Gen. Wilson refers to him as a vigorous and intelligent man of af- fairs" A Cuban writer has described him thus:
 As 8 soldier he has fought for lib- erty; as a governor his long control of the province of Santa Clara Is the most fruitful and brilliant in the history of Cuban independence; as a citizen he Is a man of active patriotism and austere virture, He has no vices. He has all ways lived modestly and he has no millions leave to his sons.
 Jose Miguel Gomez IS man of the pSVPhSt VA YIkSv VcOAAe. OI rtllS SVuahtS rather than of the city. He left his fields to fight for the independence of Cuba and achieved distinction as a leader. When the struggle was over he devoted his time and his services to the reconstruction of the wreck ed in- dustries of the island and to the con- struction of the new government. As member of the constitutional con- vention and as governor of santa Clara province. lie has been one of the lead ing forces h thsS building of the re- public.

M. Q. McCIene Throws Himself On Mercy Of Police Court and Poufs
 Out An Aneetine Mare

More weepy than any day in the history of police court was Saturday. Tears seemed to spring from the very walls. hardened cops, rugged old pine knots of humanity who have bathed in a life of trouble tnrough years of work on the force, could not stand the high pressure and bugle calls from vast nostrils rung brazenly through the dsfl cloister of the death-trap build ing that masquerades as city hall, fire engine house, stable. jail, market butcher shop. junk shop, fruit stand, armory and has practically every walk of life represented in 1t except the clergy and a certain class the clergy have been known to try to save.
 Judge Baber usually -visaged, masterful and flinty of heart, found 1t necessary to wipe several cinders from his eyes and the usual clarion voice of "Commonweaith's Attorney Smith sank to q whisper. vibrant with almost feminine sympathy.
 The cause of the great dampness was M. c. McCfone, @ fine appearing old gentleman. whose foot had slipped on the path of life, that had been be- fore life that was good, but on the down hill side the going was too steep and he had fallen. He pleaded guilty to being a thief.

Shoot told the stroy brief- ly. He said he met the defendant Friday night in the bar of the Wind sor hotel, had been approached by the man who introduced himself, and whose expression clamored silently but p1eadlngly for a drink.
 They drank. and they took another and the friendship of a cheering glass scorned time and grew into intimacy. Shoot took the man to his room and patiently listened to 8 story of bad luck, the loss of a position, want, and desire for intoxicants. Shoot said McClone told him he was formerly employed as a bookkeeper in a large Georgia clothing concern, but had lost out. Being an expert bookkeeper he fore he could get another job. and in the conversation Mr. Srnoot suggest ed a place where he knew good bookk eeper was wanted.
 A letter was written and then the men went out for another drink and McClone was introduced to Montgom- cry merchants, but failed to land a job. Press of business forced MT. Shoot to excuse himself and he went on to work, while McClone. according to testimony went back to his new found friends room, stole his over coat and sold it to Langley, a store keeper on North Court street, for $3.
 Returning to his room. Mir. Shoot missed the coat, suspected where it had gone and calling up the police placed the matter in their hands. De- tectives Payne and AvRnt were put on the case and landed their man in record time. fse

BIsHOP's APPEAL.
Plans Are Perfected for a Great Church
 Pageant.

Pageant.
 London, Nov. 21-The Bishop of Lon don has sent the following to the pFesa'
 May I crave your kind indulgence in announcing that the scheme Which has been under consideration for some time for the holding of the great Eng fish Church Pageant of 1909. is now fully matured.
 Ever since the beginning of this year some of our highest authorities on ec. clesiasticaI history and art have gener- ousIy and ungrudingly placed the re- suits of their Knowledge at the dts posal of the committee. of which I have the honor to be chairman in further ance of the idea of this pageant. Nc sooner was the project mooted than the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbtshop of York and many of our Bishops gave it their ready support.
 we want this pageant to be an edu- cation for old and young, and we hope that 1t will show, by its pictures of bygone life, and the influence which religion had upon that life. something of the struggles and the trials of those who fought for the faith.
 'It has been decided to hold this pa . seant in the grounds of Pullman Palace which I have placed at the disposal of inc committee, and in the sylvan sur roundinEs of these historic grounds the great episodes of our church's history will be depicted by some 5000 per- formers.
 Tt Is proposed to hold the pageant fronn June 10 to Juno 16, and as a com. mittee have secured the invaluable as- sistance of Mir. Frank Lascelles, whose successful conduct of the Oxford pas reant of 1907. and his stiIl moro rec cent and magnificent work in connect ion with the great tercentenary pa seant of quebec. is In the recollection
