CONVENTION.
GER}! AN CATHOLIC
[‘0 Spread the German Language and
Gain Centre! of the Church.
BUFFALO, Sept. 21.——The fifth annual
convention of the German Cathollcs of
America will be held here this week, com-
mencing today with a grand parade in
which 10,000 people are expected to be In
line. Father Zureher said one of the ob-
jects of the convention was to reunite the
German Clerical union with the German
lay element. Another was to demonstrate
that the Buffalo diocese is strongly Ger-
man, but the chief o‘:.-_iec.t was the further-
ance ofamovemcnt to secure control of
Ihe Catholic church in America. Father
Zurcher said the German priests would
Iike to fill the important places in the
3hurch. Apart 0f the plan is to spread
Ihe German language as much as possible
.n America.
The German priests, Father Zurchcr
Iaid, are opposed to the laws of the coun-
:il of Baltimore, and they are extremely
mxious to rule the church in America,
expunge its temperance laws and spread
German customs and language through—
:Iut America. One of the sections of the
our of the Baltimore council forbids the
holding of fairs on Sundays and absolutely
prohibits the use of intoxicunts at church
iairs and picnics, and also advises Catholic
Liquor dealers to quit the business. The
' German priests consider these laws and
7' advice a standing insult to all Germans.
' [t is intended in the coming convention to
demonstrate the strength of the German
Catholics in America and their right to
either the supreme control or at least a.
fair share of the control Of the church in
this country. The convention will con-
tinue four days.
German Baptist Conference.
WILLIAMSPORT, Po... Sept. 21.——At Satur-
day’s session of the German Baptist con-
Eerence Rev. E. Anschnlt, having declined

mittee. Pittsburg was chosen as the place
of next meeting, the opening sermon to be
preached by Rev. G. A. Schultz, of New
York. Rev. S. Linker, of Philadelphia,
was re—elected treasurer of the eastern
conference.
BESENI‘ED AN INSULT.
Struck a Stranger in the , hiouth and
Blood Poisoning Followed.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.~—James Haley, the
well known lightweight boxer and pro-
prietor of the Long Island hotel, is in a
critical condition from blood poisoning,
the result of a blow that he struck an un-
known man who insulted his wife. Satur-
day last his wife went to see her mother
' in Harlem. On her return she was fol-
' lowed by a man from the elevated station
at Pearl and Fulton streets, who tried to
get in conversation with her. The man
actually followed Mrs. Haley part of the
way up stairs in her husband’s hotel. She
called for her husband and the man fled,
but Haley overtook him and gave the
stranger a sound thrashing. One of his
blows struck the man in the mouth and
knocked out two of his teeth. The man’s
teeth out two of Haley’s knuckles. Haley
paid no attention to the out until his arm
became swollen, discolored and painful,
when a physician was summoned and he
saw at once it was a case of blood poison-
ing. Haley became unconscious Tirednes-
day and has had but few intervals of con-
sciousness since. Haley kept a boxing
school at Buffalo for several years, but
sin cc he came to New York several months
ago he devoted himself more to the busi-
ness of hotel keeping than teaching boxing.

COL. IIIMIII IIIIIIIIY.
Wants to Know on What Terms Re-
publicans Have Been Sold.
GEN. MAHONE’S DIGTATION.
In an Open Letter the General I: Called
Upon to Explain His Circular to the
Voters—If United the nepubn-
cans Can Defeat Mr. Daniel.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—Colone1 H. 0.
Parsons, the noted Virginia Republican
leader, has issued an open letter to General
Mahone questioning the right of the fitter
to dictate the policy of the Virginia Re-
publicans in the next campaign and can
suring him for doing so. Colonel Par-
sons’ principal grievance is the action of
General Mahone in advising the Republi-
cans of the state not to name any candi-
dates in the next election.
“Under what commission and by what
right,” asks Colonel Parsons, “do you un-
dertake this new dictation? The responsi-
bility of leadership does not and cannot
depend upon your personal opinion or pre-
ference.”
“fonts 3 Convention.
After scoring General Mahone for past
actions and positions Colonel Parsons
calls on him to cancel his circular and to
call a. convention to consider the future
policy of the party. He says that if Gen-
eral Mahone’s advice means anything it
means that the Republican vote shall be
delivered to the Alliance, and he repeated-
ly asks General Mahone upon what terms
are the Republicans sold. The Republi-
cans of Virginia can, he avers, if united
and aggressive, elect enough members of
the legislature to defeat Senator Daniel.

ORIGINAL $7 EDITION FOR 30 CENTS.
0 BOOK, excepting the Bible, has ever had such a sale in the United
States as General Grant’s Memoirs 650,000 copies have already gone
into the homes of the rich, but the subscription price of $7 has placed it
beyond the. reach of people in moderate circumstances. If 650,000 people
have been willing to pay $7 for Grant’s Memoirs, there must be a couple of
million people in the United States who want them, and will jump at the
opportunity to buy them at the low figure here Odercd.
lVe will send you General Grant’s Memoirs, publisher’s original
edition, best paper, green and gold binding, hitherto sold by subscription
at $7, for 30 cents—-

for one year, and also a. subscription of $3 for THE COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE,
the brightest and cheapest of the great illustrated monthlies, itself equal to
the best $4 mega-Zine.
THE COSMOPOLITAN is enabled to make this offer because of the purchase
of 600,000 volumes at a price which even publishers would deem impossible,
and with the idea of running up its circulation to half a million copies. By
contract with THE COSMOPOLITAN, THE WEEKLY GAZETTE is enabled to offer
our readers a share in the low price obtained through the largest purchase
of books ever made in the history of the world.
If, however, you have Grant’s books, THE COSMOPOLITAN’S ofi'er‘will
permit you to take instead,
Gen. Sherman’s Memoirs, 2 vols, sold by subscription for $5.00
