Ramsay Notes.

In the death of the Very Rev. Father
Joachim Widmer, prior of the Bene-
dictine Monastery at St. Benedict,
near Covington, which occurred on
Wednesday evening, Janury 10, 1910,
at $50 p. M, the Benedict Fathers
have lost one of their most learned
and plus members. Father Joachim
was a native of Wurtemberg, Ger
many and at an early age decided to
prepare for the priesthood. In 1885
he came to the United States and en-
tered the Benedictine Monastery at
st. Mienard, Ind, wherefrom he was
ordained in 1889. Shortly after his
ordination he was sent to the Dako-
tas to do missionary work until about
1894, when he was transferred to New
Orleans as assistant pastor of st.
Boniface with Rev. Paul Schoeuble.
When the Rt. Rev. Abbot was elevat-
ed to the abbacy Father Joachim
succeeded him to the pastorship of
St. Boniface church and remained there
for two years, when he was elected
Prior of the Abbey. Father Widmer
was loved by all who knew him, and
his life was filled with many virtues.
His funeral took place Friday morn
ing at the Abbey chapel in the pres
ence of a large number of the rev.
erened clergy and Catholics of the
vicinity. His remains were laid to
rest in the Abbey graveyard:

BIG EAGLE At THE STAG.

The immense eagale recently shot
by Ralph Abney on the Abney Ranch
was sent to New Orleans to be mount
ed and will be on exhibition in Charlie
Biggio's barroom to-day. Mr.. Abney
shot it in the act of carrying off a fif-
teen pound lamb, when it was about
thirty feet in the air. It measures
seven feet from tip to tip. This is an
excellent trophy for this young marks
man, who has been very successful in
his hunting expeditions, having sew
eral deers to his credit this season.

CATCHER Killing IS
To Be REINSTATED

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 15.-Special.-
That Catcher Killing. Of the Chicago
Nationals, will be reinstated and that
the short schedule of games will be-
adopted at the annual spring meeting
of the league in New York, was the
prediction of President Garry Herr
mann of the Cincinnati club, before
he left for the east last night. Herr
mann said he did not see why the
former Cub catcher should not be
declared eligible, and as for the sched.
ule, he did not believe there would be
more than one or two in favor of the
long series.
I'VE will play 154 games next year
and will. on Tuesday, issue the state
ment in New York to this effect. At
last there seems to be peace in the
league, and it will remain peacable,
so far as / am personally concerned,
for the rest Of the year." he said. =.
There is no reason that can think
of now why Catcher Killing cannot be
reinstated. or course, this matter
will have to be settled when the ma
tional commission meets
On top Of Herrmann's statement,
came the report that King has sent
to the national commission a state
ment to the effect that if they do not
allow him to play ball for four years,
he will bring action in the civil courts
for $4,000 against the members Of
the commission.

CHRISTINE WOMAN
Was VERY LUCKY

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 15.-If 1t
had not been for an unusually great
stroke of luck, Mrs. Evanson, of Mich.
igan City, IN. d., would be a loser of
1852. AS it is she still has possess
ion Of every cent Of the money. She,
in company with another woman, was
walking down Minnesota avenue last
evening. They noticed a we'll dressed
Young man coming towards them.
When the man was near Mrs. Evan
sons side he snatched her purse from
her hand and started to run across
the street, going in an alley on the
opposite side. In snatching the
purse from the woman's hands, the
handle was broken of and the purse
came open. In his haste to get away
the man did not notice that all the
contents of the purse were pulled out.
There was $42 in money and draft
for 81 900 in the purse. Lanterns
We're secured Immediately, and a
search for the money was begun. In a
short while the entire amount was
found. The purse was found in the
alley into which the young man had
run. He evidently stopped to ascer.
tain how large a haul he had made
and, on finding the purse empty, he
threw it away. Mrs. Evanson is un.
doubtedly thanking her lucky stars
for the lucky escape from losing
large sum Of money.

Paris, Feb. I'm. Lizard, vice rec
tor of. the University of Paris, has
been officially advised that Theodore
Roosevelt will reach Paris about
April IA, and that the length of his
stay will probably not exceed three
or four days. The French govern
ment is anxious to receive the form
er president of the United States with
the highest honors. -
French society is prepared to lion
ize him: the literary, philosophical,
geographical and scientific bodies all
desire to entertain him, and the
American colony would like to give q
grand banquet in his honor. But Mr..
Roosevelt has discreetly allowed It
to be understood that he particularly
desires to avoid any appearance Of
ostentation and that he will preserve
as far as possible merely the role Of
man of learning. in which capacity
he accepted the invitation to lecture
at the Sorbonne extended to him
through Ambassador Jusserand while
he still occupied the White House.

American Telephone and Telegraph
company bought George Gould's stock
in the Western Union, carrying prac
tically control, it was pointed out thai
the Mackey companies held approx
imately $4,000 shares Of the former
stock. This was interpretated by
many as tacit merger of the three
great companies, which would mean
death to competition. Clarence H.
Mackay, head of the Mackey compan
les, was quick to deny that any mer-
ger had been contaminated or was
even under consideration, but the ru-
NOR would not down.
Now comes the announcement of a
decision of the Mackey companies to
sell it's holdings in the American
Telephone company as agreed upon
at the annual meeting of the compan-
les in Boston today.
A statement explaining the action
was issued in New York tonigrt by
C. C. Adams, vice president Of the
Postal Telegraph and Gable Co. The
statement says:
"The Mackey companies will sell
it's entire holdings Of stock in the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company, that step being in Difference
to public opinion, which views with
suspicion this large holding of stock
in a company which has recently pur.
chased the control of the Western
Union"
