Strongly Condemned.

One may honestly differ as to whether
we need or do not need another holiday,
to be known as Columbus day, but fair
minded persons OF every creed and no
creed will unite in eondemning the at
tack made upon our Catholic citizens
and the Knights of Columbus in a paper
inaptly called the American Citizen. II
is too late TO operate such tactics with
any hope of success. Our people, fortu-
nately. have outgrown the old religious
preiudiees that this paper attempts to
revive. We have no better citizens than
are to be found among the Knights Of
Columbus. Such attempts TO stir up re-
ligious preiudices cannot be condemned
too strongly, and no better way could
be found 60 secure the new holiday than

TOOK IT AS A JOKE.
Florence Wildrick Smiled When Sen
tenced to Seven Years.

New York, Nov. 3.-When Florence
Burns Wildrick, who attained much no.
toriety a few years ago by being ac-
quilted of the murder Of Walter Brooks
in q local hotel, was sentenced yester-
day to serve from seven to fourteen
years in state prison for extortion, she
seemed to take the whole proceedings as
a joke. She will be sent to Auburn
prison.
She smiled cheerfully while Judge
Crane was prononcing sentence and
when led from the courtroom sne ap-
peared happier than at any time since
her arrest several weeks ago.
1t was different with Edward III.
Brooks, her co-defendent, sentenced to
the same term of imprisonment. He was
pale and hung his head as the judge
read the sentence. On the way to the
Tombs to await transportation to Sing
Sing prison, he was visibly affected.
