T HE press dispatches announce that the
Rev. William Jenkins Bryan will 60
from Nebraska to the Democratic National
Convention, as a Wilson delegate.
If were in Wilson's place, [ would begin
to sweat blood over that proposition.
Bryan went to the Democratic Convention
of 1896 as Bland delegate and, at the psy-
Geological moment, betrayed the Free Silver
champion and took the nomination himself.
He followed this up by fooling the Populist
leaders; and the Peoples Party died Of
Organism, at the same time that the broken
hearted Dick Bland died.
Next he betrayed all the bimetallic-
eenback-currency voters and, by false
pretenses, led thousands of them into the
camp of the gold bugs
Then he seized upon another nomination,
and got beat as usual.
Next he posed as a Wilson man; but when
Champ Clark carried Nebraska, the Rev.

disgust of his neglect of duty, in the interest
of gate-receipts at the county fairs and
chautauquas.
For months, he has been carting his cast
iron smile all over the country, stirring up
just as much trouble as he can for the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of State.
To cap the climax, he threatens to go to
the National Conventi0n, as Wilson dele
gate.
He has to do that in order that he may
have the same chance to knife Wilson that
he had to knife Bland and Clarke.
The Rev. William Jenkins filled his pulpit
in Miami, few Sundays ago, preaching on
the text afforded by the First Commandment.
No doubt it was a smooth, mellifuous, re-
assuring sermon.
No doubt it was illuminated, at the proper
intervals, by his boiler-iron smiles.
But wait until he begins to crate, at the
National Convention, as a Wilson delegate

a JESUIT of the name of Walsh is parish
priest In Augusta, Georgia, where the
foot-klssers formerly ruled the roost, but
where they do not rule it now
In fact the subjects of the Italian pope are
steadily losing ground throughout the South,
except IN Texas where SO many Mexicans
come across the line, and in Florida, where
Romanism has planted so many plague-spot
Colonies, and put so much money in reptile
newspapers.
Jesuit Walsh was bitterly disappointed
because there were not twelve P. S. Norths
on the jury which tried my case last winter,
and he vented his spleen by publishing an
attack upon the Hon. w. II. Fleming, one of
my attorneys.
The Jesuit denied that the Roman Catholic
Church holds all Christian marriages to be no
marriages at all, unless performed by one of
the italian pope's male virgins.
Walsh denied that his foreign church re-
CARDS all such marriages, among non-Cath-
olics, to be 'f1thy concubinage."
Having gone upon record with an out
rageous falsehood, as to law of his church,
Walsh qo0s convicted Of the deliberate etn-
truth, and he ran from the controversy.
But several local Knights of Columbus
saved as much of the local situation as they
could, by publishing card in which they
stated, in effect, that if the Roman church
had any such dogma, they didn't believe in it
So, there you are.
The Jesuit made an unprovoked attack
upon Protestant attorney, who, in the course
Of Professional duty, had helped to defend a
Protestant publisher from malicious and
infamous Catholic prosecution; and when this
attorney, in self-defense, proved the priest to

dence in Montreal and she was shown to be a
woman of bad character, whereupon she came to
New York and repeated her story, which many
believed. She gained entrance into good
ciety and received many attentions from those
who gave credence to her tale but it was con-
clusively proved to be fa!sehoOd She had even
gone SO far as to publish plan Of the interior
of the nunnery, which was shown by careful
examination to be incorrect in every particular.
Thus, you see, [ give Walsh the benefit of
his full statement, a fairness which no Roman
priest ever shows to an adversary.
"There nerer a0as q Maria Monk ca8e."
So says Walsh, and he cites Appleton's
Encyclopedia" with the confidence Of man
who believes that his readers do not know
that the evidence he quotes was written by
Just such Romanist as himself
Encyclopedias are made up of the contribu-
tons of numerous writer's, chosen because of
their supposed special knowledge of the par
tlcular subject ASST gned to each.
Thus, Baptist will be chosen to write en-
matters concerning our church, Methodist
on matters pertaining to his, and so on.
The Encyclopedia Brittanica ignored this
custom, and the ROn2amJts b0yc0tted the
qU02h
Jesuit Walsh says that very probably I
have "a copy of Appleton's Encyclopedia of
Biography"
So l have. My copy was entered at the
District Clerks office in New York in the
year Of my birth, 1856.

fishers; and the Editors were such scholars

be an INSCRIPTIONS liar, the priest shut up,
and the local knights Of Treason, Riot, and
Murder throw dust in the eyes of the COM
munlty by saying that their belief is different
from that Of the Church
After having published this shameless false
hood, l have no doubt they went to Walsh,
confessed" and were promptly forgiven for
a SIN committed in the interest of Italv's
Mother Church.
Not content with his asinine exhibition of
himself In the local Catholic paper Jesuit
Walsh writes series of articles for the
Sunday Visitor, the Indiana sheet which the
Mission fund of the foreign church is scat
tering all over the country.
In the last of these Walsh articles the
following paragraph appears:
Nothing short of obstinate determination to
close ones eyes to the truth could acquit Mr.
Watson OF deliberate falsehood when he wrote
such article as that which appeared in his
paper under the title Another Maria Monk Case
Game to Eightsfn NeW~Jersey a Few Days Ago"
This article formed Of the counts in the in
d1ctment brought against MI. Watson by the
Grand Jury.
To talk of another Maria Monk case is at least
as idle as to talk of another murder committed
by Mr.. Watson. There never was a Maria Monk
case, and l find it difficult if not impossible to
believe that Mr.. Watson is ignorant of fact so
easily accessible to all. Very probably he has in
his library copy of Appleton's Encyclopedia of
Biography. If he turns to the article on Maria
Monk in that work he will find the following
Illuminating piece of Information:
Monk, Maria imposter, born about 1917; died
in New York City about 1850. In 1885 she as
serted in Montreal that she had escaped from the
Hotel Dieu nunnery in that city, of which she
claimed to have been inmate for years, and
told shocking story of the crimes that had been
committed there. Her stories met with no

child OF Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Mastin,
Of near Waltersyille, died last Thursday
night after alshort illness of enteritis.
The child was about thirteen months
old and was very bright and lovable
little fellow, and the sympathy of the
community goes out to the parents in
their loss. Funeral services were held
at the grave at Powell Valley church,

was raised against the vigorous

as If the suffrage plank had been

President Wilson himself consid-

voted into the platform by bal.

Dissatisfied with a decision OF the
umpire. the East End baseball team
left the field on Saturday In its game

fifteenth inning. The local team

claimed none out. East Ends side
OF the story Is that with two out
and two on. the man on second was
forced out at third. but the umpire
called him safe. because the third
baseman didn't touch the runner. The
locals claim II only made one out.

accident TO CROCKETT
hurts DELAWARE 'SCHANCES

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK May S.-The accident to
David Crockett, Delaware's star
hurdler, which prevented him from
finishing any of the events in which
he was entered in the dual meet with
Muhlenburg on Saturday, was a great
disappointment 10 the Delaware team.
Crockett pulled a tendon in the first
event. the 1O0-yard dash. and was
unable TO finish At the time he was
leading the contestants.
With Crockett in good shape he no
doubt would have won both the 100
and 220-yard hurdles for which he
holds the Delaware College record.
With his leg in bandages he started
the 120-yard hurdles. and had 3 good
lead, when his leg failed him, and he
had TO stop. Since he established
his local records in the two hurdle
events last year, Crockett has greatly
improved in his hurdling under the
coaching OF Track Coach Keyes. and
was expected to better his own record
in both events this season.
Every effort will be made to get
Crockett In shape for the next dual
meet. which will be held Saturday.
Nav 20. The inter-class meet will be
held in connection with the all
scholastic field and track meet next
Saturday. but It is not likely that
Crockett will be able to represent his
class in these events.
