' Bishop Potter’s Niece Has Changed
Her Religiousellelief.
301N311 THE ROMAN CHURCH.
She Has Been a Communicant In Secret
For Over‘a Year and Confessed It
to Her Mother—Says She “'33
Guided by Her Conscience.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—Bishop Potter’s
favorite niece has become ageRomau Cath-
olic. So says the story tha comes from
Florence, where she makes her home.
Still more grave for the bishop’s peace
of mind if the story be true, she entered
the Catholic communion a year ago se-
cretly, and not until two Weeks ago did
she muster enough courage to tell her fam-
ily about it.
. So, while the Right Rev. Henry C. Pot-
t‘er, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal di-
ocese of New York, has been making bit-
ter attacks on the recent encyclical letter of
the pope, one of his own family has be-
conie a devout believer in the infallibility
of the Roman pontiff.
if lorence Thompson, “Flossie” was the
bishop’s pet name for her, is the youngest
child {of Mrs. Launt Thompson, who, be-
fore marriage, was Maria Potter, the bish-
op’s sister.
At the time of her marriage 25 years ago
Lailnt Thompson was called a risingyoung
sculptor. He continued to advance in his
profession until he was among the fore-
most of American sculptors. The pursuit
of his art took him to Florence, where he
made his home until his death five years
' ago.
Conscience Her Guide.
His widow chose to remain there with
her three children. They have a beautiful
house in Florence, where they entertain
extensively. They are received in the best
of English and American society.
Florence Thompson is now a beautiful
girl of 18. She has inherited from her
mother the brains of the Potters and from
her father great artistic talent. When
Bishop Potter has gone abroad, his sister’s
home invariably has been the objective
point of his visit, and of the children Flor-
ence was the dearest to him. '
Moving in the society of an Italian city,
it was to be expected that the young girl
should have many friends and acquaint-
ances in Catholic families. Ecclesiastic
cidthe Roman church, however, were'ex-
cluded carefully from Mrs. Thompson’s
list of friends.
What perplexes her family most is the
question of who influenced her to change
her belief. While the girl had been reared
infithe bosom of the Episcopal church,
three of her uncles being clergymen in
that denomination, she herself says that
she long had been in doubt as to the true
churCh.
That she was impelled to the change of
filth by her own conscience was the only
explanation she gave her mother when she
confessed to her two weeks ago that she
had been a Catholic for a year..
May Go Into a Convent.
The young woman remains firm in her
determination in spite of all the pressure
that has been brought to bear to get her to
return to the faith' of her fathers.
It is even hinted that she may join some
religious organization rather than endure
the unpleasant home life that may result
from her change in faith.
As soon as Mrs. Thompson learned of
her daughter’s conversion, in great agony
of mind she wrote to her brother, the
bishop, for advice. He. too, so says the
story, was perturbed by this act oftreason
to the family traditions, and was hurt not
a little to think that his niece ha‘d not
gone to him for counsel before taking the
decisive step.
Not alone about the young woman’s lac~
tion are the Potter family worried. Lan-
ceilotto Thompson, Florence’s brother,
has given them another shpckby becom-
ing a naturalized Italian citizen. He has
announced his intention of devoting his
life to educational work among the poorer
classes.

HENRY E. ABBEY’S FUNERAL.
The Services “‘ill Be Private and the In-
terment at Northampton, Mass.
NEW YORK. Oct. 19. —.Tohn B.'Schoeflel,
for many years the business associate and
personal ’friend of Mr. Abbey, is in charge
of the funeral arrangements. He said last
night: “The services will be private, and
will take? place at the church of the Paul-
,ist Fathers at 9 o’clock Tuesday morning.
, The body will be taken from the church
to the Grand Central depot for interment
at Northampton, Mass, where Mr. Ab-
bey’s first wife (nee Kate Kingsley) was
buried, as was also his son Henry, who
died two years ago at the age of 14. Only
immediate relatives will accompany the re-
,mains to the place of burial.
Mr. Abbey died a Roman Catholic, he
having been baptized and received into the
Roman Catholic faith two hours before his
death. Father McMillan of the Paulist
church performed the baptismal cere-
mony, and at the same time almost ad-
ministered the rites of extreme unction.
The conversion was brought about by the
fact/that the dead man’s son, Henry, was
a. devout Roman Catholic in his lifetime,
and as Mr. Abbey was devotedly attached
to his son, he has often said he would fol-
low the boy’s example and die a Roman
Catholic. Mr. Abbey did not lose coo-
sciousness up to the hour of his death, and
was fully aware of all that was passing
around him.
George L. Reeves, attorney for the Met-
ropolitan Opera House corporation. stated
last night that Mr. Abbey’s death will not
work any change in the prospectus of the
Opera House for the coming season. It is
not intended to nominate a successor to
Mr. Abbey in the directorship at present,
as the remaining members of the firm will
be able to carry out all the plans outlined.
“Substantially all the conditions," said
Mr. Reeves, “of the plan of agreement on-
tered into by the creditors will be carried
out. By the plan mentioned the indebt-
edness of the firm is to be paid, 40 per cent
in preferred stock and 60 per cent in notes.
This anticipates the payment of 100 cents
on the dollar.”
THE WAR IN CUBA.
Arrest of Three Alleged Delegates From
the Insurgent Junta In New York.
HAVANA, Oct. 19.—The police of this
city have arrested two white men and a
mulatto, said to be delegates from the in—
surgent Junta in New York. They are
also charged with conspiring to blow up
buildings by the use of dynamite in order
to afford an opportunity to create a panic
and plunder the city. One of their accom-
plices is said to be implicated in the explo-
sion at the governor general’s palace in
April last, but there are said to be 32 men
engaged in the plot, some of them being
in foreign countries and others already in '
the African prisons of Spain.
In an engagement which has just taken
place between the Spanish troops under
General Aguilera and the insurgents un-
der Delgado the latter lost over 100 killed,
among them being Dr. Luis Delgado.
The report that Celestine Bencomo, the
insurgent governor, has been killed in a
skirmish at Purial, province of Santa
Clara, is confirmed.
In a Cuban Jail.
'WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—The state de-
partment has been urged to find and if
possible extend aid to an American citizen
supposed to be lying in a Cuban jail. Nov.
28 last year, Matthew Kersey, a young
man from Alexandria, Va., shipped on the
steamer Mascotte from Baltimore for
Cuba. It was generally understood that
it was his intention to form one of a party
of filibusters. His friends waited in vain
for any news of his movements until re-
cently, when they heard from a person
just returned from Cuba that Kersey was
1yizfg wounded in a Spainsh jail.
Henry D. Clayton Removed.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Attorney Gen-
eral Harmon sent the following telegram
to Henry D. Clayton, United States attor-
ney for the middle district of Alabama, at
Montgomery: “For reasons appearing in
our correspondence the president has to-
day removcd you from the office of United
States attorney, which you now hold.
You will govern yourself accordingly.
Answer to your letter mailed today. ” Mr.
Clayton is a candidate for congress, and
this telegram is the outcome of a brief cor-
respondence between him and the attorney
general relative to his course in view of
the well known rule of the department,
which makes such candidacy inconsistent
with the holding of his posit-ion of United
States attorney. Mr. Clayton is a son-
in—law of Senator Pugh of Alabama.
A New Railroad \‘i’ar.
CHICAGO, Oct. ill—The Joint Traffic as—
sociation has declared a joint boycott
.againSu the Clover Leaf, and all roads in
the association have been ordered to cease
all business with it after Oct. 22. None
of its tickets will be accepted for transpor-
tation over any of the Joint Traflic asso-
ciation roads after that date. The reason
for the boycott is declared to be the action
of the Clover Leaf in cutting rates and
giving sleeping car and chair privileges to
the holders of second class tickets.
The Famine In India.
LONDON, Oct. lit—The famine in north-
ern India, which now appears to be inevit-
able, causcs the greatest anxiety here, and
it is recognized that the import of Ameri-
can' wheat is-likely to be the prime factor
of the situation. Prices in the affected
districts have risen considerably, and the
Californian wheat on route is sold in ad-
vance at higher prices than the native
wheat, indicating the conviction that
prices will have risen still higher by the
time the imports arrive.
Suicide Dchaanfs Body.
TORONTO, Oct. 19.—The body of Jacob
Dehaan, the Cornell university student
who, under the name of H. Nanta, com-
mitted suicide at the Queen’s hotel on
Sept. 23, has been placed in a vault in St.
James’ cemetery, where it will remain for
an indefinite period, in the expectation that
deceased’s brother, Dr. Dehaan of the
Johns Hopkins university of Baltimore
will take charge of it.
Held Up the Whole Town.
GUTHRTE, O. 'I‘., Oct. 19. —-At 9 o’clock
last night a band of six unknown despera-
does rode into Carney, 20 miles east of
here, and held up the whole town, robbing

of about 100 citizens was organized as
soon as possible and left in pursuit of the
outlaws.
Colonel William B. Mann Dead.
. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19.—Colonct Will.
iam B. Mann, who has been prothonotary
,of Philadelphia for more than 20 years,
died last night at his home in this city,

nized Republican leader of this city.
DYCHE 0N ALASKA.
The Professor Says It \Vill no a Good
Country In the Future.
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 19.—Professor L.
L. Dyche of Kansas returned from Alaska
on the City of Topeka and left last night;
by way of California for his home. Pro-
fessor Dyche went to Cook’s inlet and es-
pecially in search of natural history speci.
mens. He ascended to the source of the
Knick river with an organized expedition
which was a success, although the obsta-
cles to be overcome were appalling. The
native boatman, stripped stark, and with
ropes pulled the beat up the turbulent riv-
er. Professor Dyche secured specimens of
a mountain sheep, 12 immense moose-
heads, carriboo, sea otter. birds and other
small animals. On July 17 Professor
Dyche saw eight inches of snow fall and
on Aug. 11 six inches fell. He saw three
smoking mountains and experienced an
earthquake such as a man could not re-
main standing during. He found large
coal ledges, but the coal was so soft that
it could be whittled with a knife.
Professor Dyche said: “That country is
one-half made. It will be a good country
some, day when it is finished. The glaciers
are slowly doing their work, the mood-
tains are smoking and the rivers are vom-
iting out quantities of quicksand. It is a
new country. Let it alone, and some day
it will be a good country.”
FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
They May Have a Little Squabble Over
Their Interests In llIarocco.
LONDON, Oct. 19.-'—The outrage upon a
French merchant ship by Moorish pirates
has attracted attention, as it is feared in
certain circles that France will do what
Great Britain would undoubtedly do un-
der the circumstances, seize the opportu-
nity to increase her influence in Morocco.
Two French warships have been dispatch-
ed to support the minister of France, who
has presented an energetic note on the sub-
ject to the Moorish government.
The Globe thereupon says: “It is worth
while keeping an eye open the French in
Marocco. For years past they have been
intriguing there and maybe they have bar-
gained for a. free hand in Morocco as the
share of the advantages of the France-
Russo ontcnte. ” .
In the meanwhile the news has been re-
ceived that a British felucca has arrived
at Gibraltar. and reports that she has been
pillaged of her entire cargo by Riff pirates.
This, it will be observed, is an opportune
‘ incident, and one which should not fail to
give Great Britain an excellent opportu-
nity to see that her own interests in Ma-
rocco are not neglected.
Treasurer \Valker a Defaulter.
AUGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 1S).—-A shortage of
Berrien Walker, treasurer of the Port
. Royal and Augusta railroad under the re-
cent receivership, has leaked out. He is
$28,717 short and is 1 ow in Canada or Eu
rope. He got leave of absence some time
ago, and when he faded to report back sus-
pfcion was excited. An inspection of the
books discovered the embezzlement. Wal-
ker had a bond with the American Surety
company for 810,000, and the receiver,
who is under $120,000 bonds, is responsi-
ble for $18,517. Mrs. Walker left a day or
two ago for New York, presumably to join
her h us band. Detectives are following her.
A Famous Chess Player Dead.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.——W. H. K. Pol-
lock, the celebrated chess player and chess
editor of the Baltimore News, died at
Bristol, England, on Oct. 5. He was 37
years of age. and had resided for many
years in this country. Pollock first came
to America as one of the British represent-
atives at the sixth American chess con-
gress. His playing was brilliant at that
time, and since then he has figured in
many of the great chess matches, both na-
tional and international, among the latter
the Hastings tournament of last year.
The Lord Li Rumor.
WASHINGTON, Oct. lit—The Chinese le-
gation here has noinformation concerning
the report from San Francisco that Lord.
Li will succeed Yang Yu as minister to
Washington. The present minister has
served about four years, which is the usual
term in the Chinese service, but it has
been expected that he would be reappoint-
ed. Lord Li has served as secretary to the
legation at London and as minister to .Ta-
pan. His assignment to the United States
doubtless would be a mark of special favor.
A Vicious Young Firebug. ,
WEBSTER, Mass, Oct. l9.-—-William M.
Bond, 16 years Old, of Oxford, has been
held in $1,900 bonds for the grand jury on
charges of incendizirism, brought against

years, two having occurred as late as Sun-
day last. In one of the fires a boy named

DAYORNIGHT
My hands Were completely covered with Ec-

perfectly raw. I had to sit with both hands held
up, and away from the fire. My husband had to
dress and undress me like a baby. I tried the‘
best physicians, but their medicines gave me no
relief, and drove me almost crazy. I was ad.
v1sed to try Concern REMEDIES, and did so,
although my husband had to go twenty miles to
get them. As soon as he got back, I used the

soundly all that night. Before I commenced
using the Corrconx REMEDIES I could get no

it would put me in a rage of itching. I always
