MISSING G|HL'S BODY FOUND
NEW YORK SETTLEMENT WORK.
Err WAS DROWNED. .
Remains Of Jessie Mccain Washed
Up on the Beach at Coney
Island.

New York, Jan. 5.-The body of
Miss Jessie K. McCann, the young set
tlelnent worker, who disappear ed from
her home just month ago, has been
given up by the sea. 1t was found by
d Waterman shortly after daybreak
at Coney Island, having been washed
ashore by the heavy surf that pounu-
ed, the beach during the storm.
The long immel sion had made the
features unrecognizable, but identiti-
cation of the young woman by her
family was made possible by a signet
ring with the initials u. E. NJ" and
by articles of clothing Miss McCann
wore the day she disappeared.
Miss .,IoCann was last seen by her
family when she left her home Decem-
Der 4, supposedly to attend to settle
ment work duties. A few days later
her father, well-to-do business man,
notified the police of her disappear
ance and offered a reward of $1,000
for information as to her whereabouts.
He also had her photograph thrown
on the screens OF moving picture
theaters throughout the East, in the
hope that this would lead to the find
ing of the young woman. Numerous
reports Of Miss Mccain having been
seen came from all parts of the coun-
try, but investiga ton proved them to
be erroneous. The police gave cred
ence to the story of woman who
asserted she saw Miss Mccain the
day after her disappearance near a
bathing pavilion at Coney Island,
where the body was found.
There were no signs Of violence on
the body according to physicians who
examined it, and the police have no
clew as to the manner in which the
young woman was drowned.

1t often happens that eggs travel
many miles and 60 through several
hands from the time they leave the
producer before they reach the con-
sumer. Eggs which are sold at the
country store are usually shipped to
the nearest egg depot, then semitic the
city commission house, which disposes
of them to the jobber, who sells to
the retailer and he to the consumer.
In most cases the farmer does not
handle a sufficient quantity to war
rant his catering to private trade,
although there is a great demand for
fresh eggs at soda fountains, hotels,
restaurants, retailers, etc. Where pri
vate trade can be had with little cost
of delivery, the producer usually real.

enjoys a higher grade product. Special

MORGAN RESIGNS
FROM MANY ROADS
Big Financiers Give Up Twenty
seven Directorates.
BOWS TO PUBLIC SENTIMENT
In Signed Statement the Wall Street
Magnate Says His Firm Can
Serve Corporations Better
From Outside.

New York, Jan. 3.-The withdrawal
of j. p. Morgan & Co from more than
score of great corporations and the
statement shortly NafterWards by
George r. Baker, an almost equally
dominant figure in American finance,
that he would soon take similar action,
gave Wall street generally a thrill
which almost brought trading on the
stock exchange to a halt.
While it is probably true that many
Of the prominent lankers had informa,
ton foreshadowing this momentous
move toward ending interlocking di-
rectorates, the public and brokers had
no advance knowledge of what was
taking place in the inner councils of
the greatest of all American houses Of
finance. Wherever telephone and
ticker flashed the news about the
street, groups of men gathered to dis
cuss the all-absorbing topic.
Mr.. Morgan, departing from his
firms traditional policy of silence,
made public statement announcing
the withdrawal of five members of J.
P. Morgan, & Co. from directorships In
twenty-se} fen corporations and the IL.
tention n withdraw from more.
The necessity of attending many
board meetings has been SO serious
harden on OR time that We have long
wished to withdraw from the direc.
torates OF many corporations Mr..
Morgan said. Most of these director
Slips We have accepted with reluc-
lance and only because we felt con-
strained to keep in touch with prop
critics Which we had recognized or
whose securities we had recommended
to the public, both here and abroad.
An apparent change in public senti-
ment in regard to directorships seems
now to warrant us in seeking to resign
from some Of these connections In
deed, it may be, in view of the change
in sentiment on the subject, that we
shall be in. a better position to serve
such properties and their security
nolders. if we are not directors. We
expect from time to time to withdraw
from other boards upon which we feel
there is ne special obligation to re
maia"
Mr.. Baker announced his intention
to withdraw in response to question
whether he intended to follow the ex-
ample OF the Morgan firm.
, Il intend to get out as director of all
the companies that will let me-" he
said. AS a matter of fact, have
been beginning to do SO for the past
two years"
The connections between Mr. Baker
and the Morgan firm, and especially |
with the late J. P. Morgan, were gen.
orally regarded as being SO close that !
It is believed. their common decision !
regarding Withdrawals from interlock-
ing directOrateS was reached as the |
result Of concerted action. -

Canon sheehan's Last DAYS,

Mrs. William O'Brien, whose hus-
band was school-fellow and lifelong
friend of the late Canon sheehan. saws
OF the priest-author:
From the hour he knew from the
mouth of a specialist that he could
not expect to be cured, he threw to
the winds all melancholy. To visit
him in hospital, or later in his home,
was to meet the cheerfulest, kindliest
OF spirits. He had never much of a.
body, but pain and suffering carried
off all but an etherealized being. He
grew thinner and thinner, and a.
beauty of another world shone out of
his eyes, that were so bright and
clear, and the smile of the pale lips
became more and more charming as
the end drew near"

Napoleon,s First Defeat.

When anti-Catholic bigots are de.
claiming against the Church and the
alleged slavish submission of Cath.
olics to all the DEGREES of the Pope,
they ignore the facts of history, for,
instead of submission to the head of
the Church being the record of his
tory, 1t is really surprising that rulers
and people nominally Catholic should
be found so often opposing the Church
and her ministry in their most I'M
portant interests, and even going so
far as to seize the person of the Su-
preme Pontiff himself and placing him
In confinement to advance the ambi-
ton of some designing and unscrupu-
lous tyrant.
For the usurpation of the Papal GOV,
eminent and plumber of the property
OF the Church by the government of
Italy there was no need to go back
to the days of Henry VIII, for Napo-
leon, as the ruler of Catholic France,
mad gone to the extreme of laying vio-
lent hands upon the person of Pope
Plus vi in 1898, and keeping him for
many weeks in close confinement at
Grenoble and at Valence, in the vain
attempt to intimidate the, aged and
helpless Vicar of Christ into surren-
dering the rights of the Church to the
ambitious terror of Europe,
But, although the imprisoned Pope
was over 80 years of age at the time,
and apparently at the mercy of him be-
fore whom the most powerful mon
archs of Europe trembled, he was
faithful to his sacred trust, and was
immovable as the rock against Napo-
Icons threats and Establishments alike.
This great Pontiff, whose family
name was Glanangelo Braschi, was
born in Cessna, Italy, on the 9th of
December, 1717, and was educated by
Jesuits. He rose to great eminence in
the Church by his learning and diplo-
matte abilities. When he was only 27
years old he was the successful media
tor in a difficulty between the Vatican
and King Charles of Naples. He was
elected Pope in 1875, and inaugurated
progressive and jealous administra-
ton, both in the spiritual government
Ct the Church and the civil affairs of
the Papal States.
His plans were all interrupted by
the fearful French Revolution, which,
by it's furious and bloody excuses,
brought him into conflict with the
French Government. He was subject
ed to usurpation, plumber, and finally
to imprisonment, but held steadfast to
his holy trust to the last, and died
while the order was being prepared
to send him from his prison in Valence
to that of Dion, where Napoleon con-
sidered he would be still more COM
pletely in his power. His death &C.
Cured on the Goth of August, 1899, at
the age of 50 years.

Il won't be long," the Little Boy said,
AS he clattered down the stair,
And found him a hat for his curly
And called to dog somewhere.
Then off like a flash down the sandy
With a whistle and cry and song.
And back to us ever it came again:
Il won't be gone very long"
Il won't be long," the Little Boy said,
AS we saw him among the trees,
His eyes all bright and his cheeks all
red,
A friend of the birds and bees:

For naught in the world goes wrong
With boy of six, or seven or eight

I'm just going out to play"
And the little dog barked, and the two
of them sped
Over the clover away.
He waved us kiss with little
brown hand,
And cries rose from here and there,
For o, but boy does understand
A dog in the open air!
Il won't be long," the Little Boy said,
Don't wait any superior see,

And my dog he will eat with me-"
Then he swung his hat on it's tangled

Till the curly dog wagged his tail,
And romped and played like boy in

And barked him comrades hail.

O. mother of him, don't cry!

And the years and years go by,

sible for men, with the best inten-
tions, to legislate quite justly for both
sexes, any more than it would he pos
sible (were the positions reversed) for
women to legislate fairly for all men
and women. This feeling is not Pc
culiar to women suffragists, for there
are happily, thousands of men who
realize the justice of their demand,
and by forming themselves into socie-
ties and in other ways, have proved
themselves the champions of this
great reform.
The Catholic church has ever re-
spected and upheld the individuality
of woman, regarding her as of equal
spiritual Importance with man in the
sight of God, and as being especially
qualified to hold forth high standard
of morality, not for herself alone to
follow but for her sons It is not
the. frivolous woman, the brainless
woman, the selfish, well-cared-for
woman, or the bad woman who comes
forth to fight for the dignified pos
session of the Parliamentary vote. 1t
is the woman who has seen, the WON.
an who has suffered, the woman who
is not afraid to soil her skirts by de.
scending into the mud of ignorance
and sin with pitiful eyes and hands
outstretched to succor.
Reformation Evils.
One of the deadliest blows dealt to
our country by the Protestant Refor-
nation was the withdrawal of church
discipline and penance. Under the

outlook upon moral disorders has be-
come dim, and in some cases altogeth-
er blind. Prostitution has fourished,
drink has reaped and is still reaping
it's whirlwind of souls, divorce has
shattered the sanctity of family life.
Catholic suffragists know that the
only complete remedy for all this
wickedness and sorrow is the extern
sion of the life and vigor of Christ's
church; but, while fully recognizing
this. they welcome any lesser helps
towards the combating of social evils,
and so they call upon all earnest men
and women workers who are con-
