Those who road tho state of thing

which tho Inmates of tho Institution

can endorse thowt BtnU'inotitH, and

Thoro wan always ntrlfo and bitter-ut-M

tho hour of recreation. It wa an
ordinary ooourrenoo to meet "winter"
weeping In the corridor a though
their heart were breaking after re
ceiving ponanee for aoino trivial of
fene. When St. Ello wa repri
manded, whloh wa frequently, ho
would cry tho entire day without oea
Ing1. Tho "alater" aro comiwllod to goto
"Mother" StanUlau' office oneo a week
to glvo an account of their eonneloneo.
One of tho immt trying and dehalng
IKUianoe ever imported upon a "lHter"

upon a "niHter" who wa eoinollod te
Uo protrato upon tho flmir for fully

her arm-chair, coldtng and reprimand

There wa nothing for hor te do but te

attempted toexciiHO hernelf, tho "su

greater penance,
Wlwn tho committeo of ladle and
gentlemen from Landing vl!ted tho

prepared for, and tho different inmate
prompted to answer a they had been
initructed, under penalty of puninhment

found everything to tho atlfaction of
tho "houao," and eormcquently to the
committee. If they would call ataomo
tlmo when they aro not expected they
will not go away o well atlfled. Tho
committee, ai)polnted In the city by tho
biwhop, who received the ntatement of
twelve or fifteen of the former Inmate

wlidi to state, however, for the fuller in

The "assistant superior" at tho De
troit "house" wa a vllo-tompcred,
shnrp-tongued, overbearing woman,
who made tho live of tho "sister,"
especially thoao who wero known a
"out-door Hlster," unlxtarablo. The
slightest pretext wa eagerly act zed

to tho "auporior," At ono tlmo ho
Imagined herself te bo severely 111 Sho
went te St. Paul to recover her health.
After a few week I wa sent to bring
her back agalnj the "sister" al the
"Good Shepherd" there being unable
to put up with her Insolence. Sho wa
particularly addicted to using a machine
trnp upon the "penitent" under her
charge, I think that thl wa ono of
tho most delightful duties which fell to
her lot, and sho never failed to exer
cise it te it utmost,
St, Ellso, tho portress, and the "su
perior's" right-hand bower, willingly
assisted her In all the deviltry which
wa carried on under tho sacred name
of charity and Christianity. After tho
first exposure many of tho inmate
wero removed by parents and friend.
While these were waiting In tho par
lor tho poor girl was being compelled
by "St. Kliso" to copy ft statement
written by tho latter to the effect that
the Institution was all right and all
t hat could bo desired In every respect,
and hotho girl wa satisfied to re
main, This, tho girl would copy, with
"St, Kllso" standing over her watching
every word, and tho poor girl only too
glad to write or ay anything for tho
suko of getting out.
Tho poor ltlik "prescrvate" children
wero cruelly neglected; their head
and InkIIcs wero covered with vermin.
I have frequently boon compelled to re
turn a child, whom I was In the habit
of tuking out, to have the vermin
combed out of their head for the oc
casion. The poor little beingsgrew up
in Ignorance and filth of which the out

Not a tithe of the cruelty and neglect

The book of the "house" were kept

called "refuges" were thrown wide esn
their outer wall torn down and the
Institution placed in tho hand of

In some Instances 1 could name, of
those who are Isith in fact without

And now I ask of you, Catholic
parents, In the nnmo of God's lovo and
the future of your sweet little one,
ponder well lieforo you commit your
children to these moral pest-houses and
tho charge of these wolves in sheep's
clothing. If your child bo beautiful
and Innocent, all tho worse for her.
Whero maiden Innocence Is tho object
to be despoiled there I no mercy or
forbearance In tho priesthood. As for
Bishop Foley, I have only thl to say:
Ho could remedy thi state of things If
he chose. Ho could purify and regu
late tho affair of tho "house" o far as
to convert It into what the public are
gulled Into believing It; a refuge for
erring girls. Let Bishop Foley sot the
example of "poverty," and his inferiors
will follow it; let him llvo less like an
epicure and more In conformity with
hi vow u a priest, and tho priest
under his control may bo Induced to
Imitate him, Lot him bo what he
wishes tho world to believe him a
pious,, godly man, and those who aro
under like vows with himself may bo
led to comport themselves at all event
a decent men and women, and not a
Is more or lesa true with nearly all of
them a Oodles animal of a lower
order.
If Bishop Foley doe not know of tho
disgraceful scenes that have taken place
In tho IIouho of the Good Shepherd ho
muat be either blind or singularly nog
llgentof hi duties not only a a priest,
but a an American.
Look for purity and religion in tho

wicked city, and you may perchance

FINED FOR CONTEMPT.
Sheriff William Tlghe, a Roman, Fined
$20 for Contsmpt.
Hoot Bluffs, Nob., Aug. fl, 82.
Fuieno Thompson: Kudosed you will
find an account as published by tho
Herald, of l'lattstuouth, of tho unties of
Cass county's Irish Itnruan Catholic
sheriff. Chief of Police Grace I alo
an Irish I Ionian Catholic, and up to
dark tonight had not done what tho
city judge had ordered him to do, and
tho query with some I, why docs the
chief not do hi duty.
Tholtev. White arrived In Piatt,
mouth tonight all right, and we finally
succeeded In getting a good hall for
hint to deliver three lectures In.
I want te congratulate you upon your
decision about running for congress.
In my opinion you took very niuch tho
wiser course, for you are doing a grand
work now and making friend by tho
thousand. Your truly,
Ameiiican.
Accompanying thl note wa tho fol
lowing article:
Tho notorious Huhholl dlvo ha again
come Isjforo tho public. Tho llrst time
the dlvo was pulled, Sheriff William
Tigho went upon tho Inmate' bond,
and thoro is yet $7.4, of the lino unpaid.
Chief Grace says that ever since ho
went on tho force people have asked
him to arrest, tho Jluhbcll outllt, Graoo
said lie had been waiting fo- a chance,
and tho chance presented Itself yester
day, and Grace llh-d the information
charging them with maintaining and
running a house of prostitut ion.
They were arrested, found guilty and
lined "i0 and cost apiece, and, as lie
fore, Sheriff William Tlghe, instead of
upholding tho dignity of his ollloe,
lowers himself by going on the bond
of these people who have been found
guilty of running the lowest kind of a
house of prostitution.
Tho sheriff not only did tho nlsive,
but he went Into court and abused the
court for lining them, saying: "It I a
damnable shame," and conducting him
self in anything but a retlncd manner,
Judge Archer Imposed a fine of $2o
and cost upon the boisterous sheriff
for contempt of court. Tho following

HARRISON'S BARGAIN.
The Story of the Appointment of Pat
Egan as Minister to Chill,
The story of Egan's antecedent be
fore ho came to thl country, and his
appointment to ministerial function
by President Harrison, l so utterly dl
graceful that It ought not to bo for
gotten, for It covers with Infamy all
who have been connected with it.
Some few year since, In an obsouro
room In Dublin, 'Ireland, a number of
course, villainous looking men were
assembled for business. They woro
members of a murder society called
"Invincible," They professed to bo
maker of history, but it wa a history
of blood. Every member wa worn to
carry out tho order, and when It voted
"to remove" somebody, all wero ready
to commit tho crime. There was
money to bo made in it. Tho money
camo from outside, and of thl money
Pat rick Fgan wa treaurer.
About tho same time two gentlemen
wero walking In Pho-nlx Park, Dublin,
They wero in earnest conversation.
One of them wa ItOrd Cavendish, the
other wa Mr, Burke, hi secretary,
As they walked along unarmed and un
suspicious of evil, they were met by
about a dozen men, The two turned
aside to make room for tho other to
puss, and then resumed tleilr conversa
tion, A minute after they wero both
atabls'd to death from behind, being
re)M'atedly run through by long butcher
knives that had been made for tho pur
pose, The murderer then rushed off
and escaped, leaving their victim dead
on tho ground.
It wa some months Is-foro a discov
ery of tiio murderer wit made, but at
last about a score of the "Invincible"
wero arrested at midnight. There was
great excitement and a loud and pro
longed howl from the Irish prims about
F.ngllsh tyranny and Irish innocence.
Home of those arrested turned "queen's
evidence" to savo their own necks, and
thu It was, that nine of the wretched
murder finished their history on the
gallows. On their trial it was found
that Patrick F.gan was the treasurer of
tho society, but ho had iled to this
country a soon us the arrest were
made.
With this brilliant reputation ho was
welcomed at New York and soon lsi
camo a power In American polities. He
wa on sale, though, for a considera
tion, and accordingly at tho last presi
dential elect ion it is said by tho Maiinn,
an Irish paper, that he made a bargain
with the republican leader In New
York to turn oyer to them 10,0(H)
votes, Ho failed to fulfill the contract,
but he did what ho could; ho led over
ten thousand in expectation that his
services would be rewarded, and ho wa
not disappointed. President Harrison

Fishing in the Gutter.

not submit, but will petition tho Do
minion government to nsk the British
house of commons for an amendment to
tho Manltoblan constitution continuing
tho separate sclusils. This move, says
a dispatch, "ills feared will' open up
old feud of rime and religion in Canada

a representative to Berlin, this would
lie less dangerous than the Influence of
tho centrist party upon the govern

from tho Catholics disci pllno. Al
though the centrist party consist of
the most heterogenous element, It
always votes as a unit In tho Interest
of tho church. We should as wo have
no national church form a similar
domineering party which declares tho
national Idea to bo first, last and all tho
tlmo, and which, without taking Into
consideration party differences of any
kind, will vote a a unit for uoh meas
