Bishop Benjamin j. Kelley.
The Bishop declares that there hardly
is a church convention, synod or con-

terly assail the Catholics and their
creed.
The Bishop said that 90 per cent of the
so-called ex-priests and ex-nuns were
never in the church and are usually
men and women of the lowest type

never in a convent as members or had
been sent as inmates to one of those
institutions under the charge of the An
gelic Sisters of the Good Shepherd, who
spend their lives in an effort to reform
fallen women. The most prominent of
these so-called ex-nuns has this unsav-
DRY character; She was never a sister
in any convent; she was a forger and a
swindler; she went under ten different
names at various times"

THIEF WARNS
THAT He IS
RIPPER
CIassrooms Stripped by Rug COL
Iector, Who Pens Wild Threat,
Decorted With Black Hand.

The harried police department has
another trouble. Jack the Ripper
has espoused the Black Hand and
turned it to a most nefarious enter
prise. Sometime between nightfall
Sunday and dawn Monday, he stole
about 500 worth of rugs from the
Girls High School building at the
corner of Washington and Mitchell
streets.
And that isn't all he did.
After breaking through window
on the ground floor, the intrepid des-
perado went from room to room,
lighting his way with torches of fam
ing paper, and collecting the rugs.
Pens Awful Threat.
And before leaving the scene of the
crime he sat down at the desk OF
some light-hearted, gay and prob
ably giggling, and maybe even gum
chewing, damsel on the first floor
and wrote the following blood con
gealing epistle on the back OF an
algebra test:
This house is easy to get in. You
wifi ffrld or hear of me robbing No,

to not run about, as 1 am here. You

tent a dagger. looking very much like
a bread knife, and hand like the
hand of Providence. only shaped more
like a ham, and beside them the
hideous promise:

Death warrants for five girls
here
Small wonder that the young pupils
of the Girls High School shudder and
glance swiftly behind them, over one
shoulder and then the other, as they
recount the narrative of the case
hardened miscreant who stripped
their school of rugs. or speculate with
bated PEPPERMINT breath on their
chances of escaping the bread-knife
and the Sable Nit.
But there is hope in sight. Call Of

Detectives Gillespie and McGill are
on the scent. They have the note
and they have assured the inhabi-
tants of No. 81 Washington street
that there is no danger.

fore the frost has killed the plants,

fore the frost has killed the plants,
dig up the geraniums and place
them in a cool, damp cellar. This
cellar should be cooler than that in
which bulbs are kept, ranging in
temperature from 40 to SO degrees;
in other words, such a cellar rs is
suitable for storing potatoes.
The plants may be placed in deep
boxes, standing up and packed close
together with a little dry soil about
the roots. Geraniums are also some
times hung up by the roots on the
wall or from the posts. In spring,
the tops of these plants should be
cut off within two or three inches
Of the ground and the roots again
planted. A loss of half the plants
