SECRETS LEAK OUT
IN HIGH CIRCLES

In regard to the Northup appoint
ment and the presidents action, the
New Orleans Pfcayune of yesterday
contained the following special from
Washington:
Secrets of yesterdays executive
session of the senate which leaked
out today make it appear that Presi-
dent Roosevelt was sharply criticised
for continuing Postmaster NOrthuH. OF
Pensacola, ria, in Office for nearly a
year after his nomination had been
rejected, and steps have been taken
toward investigating the legality of
the presidents course. The incident
has afforded his critics an opportunity
to present a stronger indictment for
usurpatiOn of patronage power than
has yet been produced. 1t is regard
ed by the senatorial critics OF White
House policies as worse than the Ohio
cases, in which postmaSters were APP
pointed on such conditions that when
the facts were explained the senate
unanimously rejected them.
Northup's Defeat.
William H. Northup was appointed
postmaster at Pensacola. the most
important Office in Florida, on Feb. 10,
1903. He was confirmed and received
a four years commission. About a
year ago he was nominated to succeed
himself, despite strong opposition and
charges against the efficiency of his
conduct of the office Senator NAL
lory, who died few weeks ago. took
the case before the senate, and Nor
thup was rejected. Instead of MAKING
a new appointment the president con-
tinued Northup in the Office under the
old appointment. Under the depart
ment rules postmaster continues IN
Office until his successor is appointed,
confirmed and qualified. It is now
contended that while NorIhup has
been re-nominated by the president
and rejected. he can still serve indef-
niteiy under this rule If applied to the
old appointment.
Department Views.
1T is contended at the department
that If Sorthup had been new
man, appointed a year ago to succeed
somebody else, and had been rejected.
he would have beeH forced out of tbs
office. But being once In the Office
no matter bew unsatisfactory his SER

after the expiration of his commission

COMETS PRIEST DEAD
Iaiher Br'pbys Work Was
 Among Vendors ei Fun.

< New York, Sept 10.-The bell of the church of Our Lady of Solace in Mermaid avenue, near Seventeenth street. Coney Island, tolled thirty nine times at 3:35 o'clock yesterday afternoon and gave the first intima- tion to the members of the parish that their pastor, the Rev Dr Joseph T. Brophy, was dead. The priest had been i'll of lung trouble since last June.
 v Within a few minutes after the bell carried It's message nearly 1000 mem bers of the congregation, most of whom are Italians, had gathered in the church and on the lawn in front of the rectory, praying aor the repose pf the soul of their beloved pastor. More than one of them repeated the story of Father Brophy's prayer on the occasion of the disastrous fire that almost wiped out Coney Island eight years ago. just after he went there as s young priest to establish the first Catholic church in the resort section of Coney Island.
 Father Brophy had taken q dance hall in the old Nassau depot, now the West End depot, and had trans formed 1t into a church, in which he had built up in few months a large congregation which included most of the Catholic amusement vendors there. On the night of the fre, when the flames, driven by a heavy wind from the ocean, had swept most of the south side of Surf eavenue and was threatening the fnorth side and tlie building contain Iing Father Brophy's church, he knelt lin the middle of Surf avenue and prayed that the wind change its course. Within short time the wind swung around to the north and carried the flames back over the dis trict already devastated.
 Father Brophy was the son of for mer Police Captain James Brophy and was born in Brooklyn in 1869. he attended St Francis college, Brooklyn, and took his degree from the College of the Propaganda in Rome, where he was ordained in 1896, receiving the degree of doctor of sacred theology. He returned to Brooklyn, at once and was appoint. ed assistant at the St James Pro- Cathedral, in Jay street, remaining there four years.
 In 1900 Father Brophy became convinced that there was work for a priest in the heart of Coney Island and got permission to go there and organize church. His congrega- ton in the old dance hall grew rap> idly, until five years ago he was able to build church.
 Father Brophy is survived by his father, his stepmother, and a broth CT and sister.

LAwLEssNEss OF THE TIME
Telephone 1ss-4.

In proportion to the boldness of
 the outlaws has seemed to be the
 breakdown of our detective and
 police system. What are the causes
 of this outbreak of lawlessness?
 There has been a relaxation of moral
 earnestness in conspicuous places
 which has had demoralizing effect
 on the whole community. Commer- cial methods have been tainted with the sort which by its wealth or for its love of notoriety keeps itself in the public eye has been given up to open self-indulgence unashamed. Young men who have inherited leisure have used it for play or pas sion and not for public service This ever-increasing display of luxury has unsettled weak brains. The purchased immunity of criminals has made men think lightly of the law. One such case as that of Thaw, where the lawyers have conspired to twist and warp the law for the benefit of a deeadent and dangerous man of wealth, has done more to under mine respect for the courts and their decisions than 100 just and swift sentences can repair. The case is not hopeless. We are still, as a people, sound at heart. But it calls for renewal of ideas of self-denial and social responsibility which have been suffered to slip out of sight It demands a new sense of the dignity of their profession on the part of lawyers. MT Taft was right when he said that the first question which concerned the people is that of the laws delays. A dawdling justice
 easily turned from the path of right and speaking listlessly of truth and honor, encourages the lawless just as a church which forgets the call to right and self-devoted living and ignores Gods certain judgments bears false witness to his rule and work with men.-Congregationalist
