PRIEST FAv0RS BARS
 SUNDAY AND ALL WEEK
Declares In Sermon at Elgiu That Poor
 Man is Entitled to His Saloon.


 EIgin, H., Jan 4.--Although tenn perance advocate. Rev. J. J. McCann, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic Church. surprised friends and critics alike in his sermon at New Years mass by attacking the methods employed by local option workers. He fayed the leaders, disagreed with the Protestant ministers regarding the crusade against the saloons. and asked the members of his congregation, while making their New Years resolutions, to include one vowing not to join this local option movement which is sweep ing over the country.
 Father MeCann took text from St. Paul, we Should Live Soberiy, Justly and Godly in This World"
 Large cities like Elgin, and espe- cialIy Chicago and New York, cannot .run like a small Sunday school class of children" he said. "If laws are en- forced so we'll that we cannot see vio- Iations without taking dark lanterns and sneaking around back doors. l think we should be satisfied. People who take fine-tooth combs or magnify ing glasses to detect moral corrup- ton are altogether too finical.
 s q think we ought to give city of- fciaIs a fair show, When laws are enforced so we'll that we have to em- pIoy detective methods to find crime, then think we are going too far. We elect city officials to enforce laws It they don't do their duty we can charge them at our next election. The world isn't going to wreck and ruin within two or four years, with the remedy in our hands.
 "As for liquor. what harm Is there in selling 1t, and selling it on Sunday To close the saloons is to discriminate against the poor, who like their liquor just as we'll as the rich. The differ ence Is in the fact that the fact that the man of means can have wine in his cellar or go to his club and get his liquor, while the poor man cannot. He has to depend upon the saloon for his beer"

WAS STEAMER LOSTs
NOTHING HEARD FROM THE BE-
 LATED VESSEL.
She Has Over Three Hundred Immf- xrapfs ana Crew of One Hundred on Board--Hope Not
 Abandoned.

st. John. N. B., Jan. i.--Aithough 1t is four weeks tonight since the Cana dian Pacific steamer Mount Royal sail ed from Antwerp for this port, with sn4 immigrants and crew of more than 100, and nothing has been heard Of her in that time. the officials of the line have not abandoned hope that she Is still afioat.
 They are extremely anxious. never th eless. and fear that the vessel is drifting about the Atlantic in practi- caliy a helpless condition with her machinery disabled. The company has caused inquiry to be made at all ocean ports on both sides of the Atlantic put up to tonight, no report from tho big vessel has been received. The arrival of the Allan Line steamer Hungarian at Portland, twenty days from Green och today, disposed of the theory that she had fallen in with the Mount Royal.
 Many steamers have delayed from few days to more than week .n crossing the Atlantic since December on account of heavy weather. and for this reason. there has been no anxiety over the Mount Royal until this week. The feeling of uneasiness has increas- ed daily however. as the absence or news continued.
 Captain Murray of the Canadian Pa- cific steamer Empress or brltaIn, which arrived here from Liverpool yes terday expressed the opinion that the missing vessel Is safe and will be heard from in short time. He reported an uneventful trip. but sighted no steamer resembling the Mount Royal. The lat- ter ship Is not equipped with wireless telegraph apparatus. so that if she IS afioat, nothing will be heard from her until she approaches land or Is sighted by some vessel
 The Mount Royal is a single screw steamer of 4,599 tons and nearly 10 years old. Shipping men express the opinion that in the event of her shaft being broken. one of the reasons ad- vanced for her failure to reach port. she would drift out of the track Of passing steamers. either east or vest bound, and finally find herself in the vicinity of Burmuda, driven by the currents.
 So far as known, few, if any, Ameri. cans or Canadians sailed on the yess set. The passengers are neafly all Hebrew and Russian immigrants. SC ome of whom are though to have formerly lived in America.

 it to her for fifty cents, but. believing
 1t was an imitation, she told him she | didn't want 1t.
 | Mrs. Strange is the wife of a silk
 merchant in Manhattan, and on New SYear's Eve, four years ago. wit her | children, attended a seeing the old

 The detectives waited until last night | to visit the Doring home. Dorins, who
 is an examiner in the finance depart

 was working at the Kindergarten. and said he found the necklace covered | with dust in the basement and put 1t
 in his pocket. thinking 1t was worth

They Will Continue at Capitol for
 Three Days.
 Examinations of school teachers all over the State will commence tomorrow and will continue until Wednesday night. Blanks were sent to the Coun- ty School Committees some time ago. and the questions are also in the hands of the examining committees.
 It is expected that the number of applicants for examination this year will be a great deal larger than ever before by reason of the fact that there are many teachers in the special school districts who have mott been standing these examinations. who will apply this year. By standing the examination now the teachers in these districts will have better chance of passing than if they waited until later when the law goes into efrect providing that teach CTS in the special districts as well as in the county districts shall stand the examinations.
 The examinations for Montgomery County will be conducted in the Hall of Representatives at the Capitol com mencing each morning at o'clock.
