THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FJUDAY , OCTOBER 15 , ' pvr'pi ni prMPTIMT MI-ENFEEBLED OITHT , of the State Journal in Trying to Eido Many Horses , ANTt - PROHIBITION MEETING. An Attempt to Itc ? l.i < tr > Miuulny to Capture the ( Inrninn Vote 1'ot- itlciil nnd Other News tit Miicaln. trnrtM TUT. i > ir.'s : Mjtrot. : * nrnr ir.l The Slate Journal Is probably the sick est layout in the state except Church Howe. U denies a newanaper or an in dividual to have any Ideas in politics save UUHC dealt out by the party.V \ Idle it is opposed to thn regulars in Saline county , it is using the partv la h vigor ously in Lancaster. While Us endorses the state convention , it says It platform don't govern in Lancaster. In lact It is much likn the auctioneer who stood on the barrel head proclaiming now yon sue it ami now you tton't. It will lind the Church Howe campaign won't work , for it is veil known he wrote the prohibition plunk , endorsed and voted for it , and is now trying lo make ( he pco pie believe it is a matter of local interest and in which he has no concern. This will not godown with average voters , even in the republi can camp , who are leaving him in llocks and droves. Money may capture the machine , but Church can't raise enough lo buy up the honest voters in Lancaster , who will round up a fair majority ngiiinst the dude legislator who assisted toorgan- i/.e a scheme to place Jim Paul in the governor's chair for the benolit of Mil liard and Mattliewson , in order to cover up a matter which would cause any or dinary individual to hide bis heud in shame. In local politics the republi cans fed more shaky than they have over done before. While there are reputable men on the ticket , they were placed there by Tom Ken- nanl niid his followers , who always believe in using thuir dupes to the best advantage and were only thwarted in one instance , that being the nomination of bam Chapman for district iudge. The voters of this county can bo hoodwinked no longer by the Journal and its strikers , who have always used tlieirinllnenceand power for their own personal uses and bcnclits. AN UXJUST CUIT1CISM. The Journal's critic on "Mikado" by our homo talent was not only very un kind , but was untruthful in many re spects. Although the audience was com paratively light on account of thu ruin , yet the stage people did their part re markably well. In fact many profes sional troops which appear here make many worse mistakes than were made by the home company , yet the Journal critic thinks because they are foreign that they arc entitled to an elegant notice. ASTI-l'ltOIIIllITION OX SUNDAY. Next Sunday there will bo an anti-pro hibition meeting held in the city. \ \ bile it will be composed largely of Germans , the leaders are prominent republicans and olllco holders who intend to capture the meeting and curry the whole crowd into the republican camp for the entire republican ticket ex cept for I. M. Raymond and Schamp. They may bo able"to carry out their scheme , but it is thought the body of Germans will not bo captured by any suchgau/.y deal. WAITING I-'OK C.OL'I.D. The republicans are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Jay Gould , hoping lie may tell them that tlio election of Church Ilowo would meet his approbation and pleasure , and possibly Ids son George would mtiKO a wedding present of a few thousand to help his friend and gen eral striker into the halls of congress , UltlKK LOCAL MENTION.

Three h-rge wall eases contain objects of clothing , and the memories of I'rinco Ksturhay.y'.s resplendent itniforsin , with pearl cmbroiJery in lieu ot silver lace and diamond tassuls on the gleaming Hessian boots , are completolveclip.sed by a coal into which emeralds , diamonds and other precious stones are wovun witli beaten gold , so that the weight would alone fordid , were ceremonial considera tions of superstitious state wanting , that the glittering garment should be worn oftener than once a year. Lady Dull'erin is said to have assumed' once , and with difficulty to have stood upright in It , as her ladyship might have done lor a few seconds in a suit of armor. Golden hats of varying shape , some like helmets of Phrygian bonnets , others of pagoda form , arc in this and adjoining cases. The king's state um brella , furled , is in the centre wall case. There is talk of mounting it aloft in thn centre of the gallery , spread open to show its jeweled magnificence. One of the state hats , covered with precious stones , all set in elaborate devices of cold , is surmounted by a tapering linial , tne base of which is formed of conver gent diamonds , large , long , but of little value. A lapidary or dealer in gems would discriminate widely between the different value of the jewels "latu thu property1 as the auctioneer might say , of a monarch retired from business. " Some of the stones arc of irreat value , and others , comparatively speaking , are rubbish. I'alm-lefif fans , carried in procession - cession , are formed of thin gold. Howls , cups , vases , llasks , vessels of all shapes but those to which the western world is accustomed , occupy six cases. They are all moro or less jeweled , some of the stones beinc uncut. Great signifi cance , probably of a religious kind , seems to be attached to a group of nine stones , the largest being in the center. On the circular lid of a splendidly jeweled betel box , specially devoted to the king's own use. is a remarkably costly speci men of the mystic group of nine stones. The middle gem is a ruby of 80 } carats , with only ono fault. Its value consequently quently is very great. Hound it arc evenly sot a moonstone , a near ) , a diamond mend , a cat's eye , a coral , a crystal , an emerald anil a sapphire.

Tlio Evolution of the Shotgun. Indianapolis Journal : Thu gun has evoluted marvellously in the past twenty j-ears.

Cupel was almost untirvly ignored by Cutho- lius. He was not allowed to occupy the pulpit in any church. .Many of the most , prominent and wealthy society people are Koniaiiii-U and Mgr. Capol made every ellort to secure the entree into the charmed circles , imt wa.s almost entirely un.inccd fnl. Perhaps Hie published statemutit in the local paper that lie had come here expecting in some mnnncr to secure n I a ren amount of money to pay his debts in Knjrland may have some ef fect in preventing the realization of his ambition. Mgr. Capel had not been here long be fore rumors as to his personal habits , al together incompatible with his religious nretciisions , wenin circulation. A great scandal was caused by the prelate , so it is said on good authority , while under the influence of a hearty dinner , making his way into a respectable house , which lie mistook for one of a radically dilVurent character. The occupants of the house were deeply seamlali/.cd by the conduct of the nionslgnor , and , to make matters worse , the lady in.Miltcd was prominent n the Catholic church. Capel finally fell in with an Italian count named Valensin , who had married the daughter of one of the wealthy fami lies of this state named McCanley. Vale- nsm owned a beautiful much on the Sac ramento river , and there Capel took up his abode , and from that time was no more heard of m public. In a .short time , however , strange ru mors were heard beneath the surface , and before long the courts were appealed to for a settlement of differences between Valensin and his wite. The former made no secret of the condition of affair. * at his ranch , but said that Cavcl had debauched his wife and broken up his home. The story of the prelate's doings on the Sac- raincnto river is a long one. but the so- ( juel is Unit Jlirr. Capel and Mrs. Valou- sin are now said to be living there alone. Tlie affairs of the estate are in confusion. Tlio Clmracs Against Capel. San Francisco Dispatch in the Xcw York World , Oct. 9 : After a long -carch to-day the World correspondent suc ceeded it : getting an interview with Count Valeusin , ' the husband of the woman whose rumored relations with Monsignor Capel have caused so much gossi ] ) recently. The count is a pleasant appearing man , about ; ! 5 years old , and was reudil.v induced to talk upon the sub ject for which the interview was sought. He said at the outset that from actual ob servations coiiccniing the relations of Moiibignor Capel with Mrs. Valen > in he has little testimony to oiler. Neverthe less , he had learned much through sources which lie implicitly trusted , be sides hearing a great deal of rumor to which lie attatched little importance , and thoruforo did not care to repeat. Count Valensin caino to California , lie said , about fifteen years ago , and became acquainted with the family of J. C. Mc Canley , a pioneer and a we.iltiiy laud proprietor of Sacramento comity. The count soon became attached to .Mr. McCanley's daughter , a very handsome girl. The young couple were soon en gaged , and a marriage followed. Count Vaiensin , to use his own words , had "plenty of money then and very little ex perience. " He purchased and improved an extensive tract of land near Gait , Sacramento county , ami expended in im provements large sums in excess of what he now sees was necessary. One child , a boy , was born to the couple , and the lad is now thirteen years old. A few years ago troubles arose between the Valciisms , which culminated in the wife bringing a suit for divorce , alleging cruelty as the ground for the petition. The hus band filed a cross-complaint , charging his wife with adultery with a well known member of the bar. Tiiu case was tried in the United States circuit court last spring , and as neither allegation was held to have been proved no divorce was granted. Then the wife brought .suit for a division of the property , claiming that she had furnished mnstot tha means for its purchase. She also lost this suit , but in the meantime other complications arose , there being au in.paid mortgage on the property , and at present it is tied up so that neither party cots much in come from the valuable ranch. The count's share this year has only boon the proceeds of thirty-seven tons of hay. After Mrs. Valensin had lost her suit for a divorce the count took a trip to Km ope , returning last March. Upon his arrival hero ho heard for the first time that Monsignor Cupel had been installed for some months in his house ostensibly as a tutor to the thirteen-ynar-old boy. Other facts wore told him of such u com promising nature that ho never went near the ranch , making Ins home clue- whoro. Ho says , as n niattor of factthat ho has seen Capel so seldom that ho would not know him if they met on the street. ' When Capol first wont to Mrs. Valonsin's ranch her mother , Mrs. Me- Caulov , and a brother and his wife all lived thnro in harmony , but it was not long before discord sprung up. For some reason trouble arose between young Me- Canloy and Ids wife , and Monsignor Capol , when consulted , gave advice to the husband which finally le.d toasepara- tlon and the departure of both from the ranch. This left the ground clear , with thn exception of the mother , and it was only a short time before a severe quarrel occurred between the reverend gen tin man and that lady , which led to the pro- lute receiving a sound slan in the faco. After this quarrel Mrs. McCanloy loft her daughter's house and wont to Mis- sunn , accompanied by her son. At present the situation is this : Mgr Capol , Mrs. Valensin and young Valoti , sin arn living alone at the ranch , with no other company than the servants. Be sides the ostensible post of tutor , M r. Capel acts as the manager of Mrs. Valou- sin s property , and , as the land is all rented nnd otherwise tied up , the position is very much of a sinecure. Valousiii has stock on the ranch , and occasionally is obliged to pay it a visit , but ho never enters the house , and the nionslgnor never sees him , When asked by a re- norter if the relations between Mrs , Valeusin and Mir. Capel wore of an iiu < proper nature Valousin said : "I canno ! say that I know it of niy own knowledge , but 1 MH as certain of it as I can bo oi anything. Any man of common sense ctMi judge of the matter for himself b.\ looking at the existing state of affairs , 1 am thoroughly satisfied that Mar , Capol has taken my place with Mrs. Valeusin in everything bat name , " \ > hen tlin count waa asked if ho con > tcmplat'd suing for a divorce , ho said he did not know , Ho did not want to gr.l married again , nnd lie hud Ida fill of tht law courts. Count Valeusin says ho had been told that Mgr , Capol .had cnicagci ! detectives to shadow him iu order thai his wife might secure testimony upon which to base another application for a divorce on other grounds , lu that cast it might be that testimony would bo given that would give him the divorce rather than her. ( In the subject of fin ances the count said that when Mgr. Capel lirst went to the1 ranch ho claimed to be expecting ? oim $ l.ooo trom a debtor in Kngland. Mr * . ValenMn had an Income last j-ear of f 1.000 , 'out interest charges nlid legal expenses must have consumed mot of Hint. The income this year from the ranch was very small. Altogether , It was a problem to discover where the means came from to support the establishment , The MeCanley prop erty i heavily mortgaged. Nothing can be obtained front Mr . Valensin to reim burse the monsignor for time bestowed in her interest. The New York Mail and Express on I1 rhhiv evening published a dispatch from Mgr. Capel dated Klk Grove , Cal. , October 7 , widen reads as follows : Von are mis-led by malicious telegrams. Statement ab nlnlclv false. Trust your l.onur tu deny statement. CAPE i. .Mjjr. Capel Slandered. New York Catholic Herald : The avidity with which the daily press of this city sei/.ea evpry possible occasion of publishing filthy , false and malicious lubrications about Catholic priests is a disgrace to the profession ot journalism. Let some low , vile , contemptible gutter snipe hand in a piece of "copy" assail ing the character of a priest , nnd it is gloated over as if no moro precious ar ticle of news could possibly be obtained. The latest victim of this "Police ( iawtto" system is Mgr. Capel , a priest of exalted honor , distinguished bearing , extensive learning and incorruptible morals. The creatures outraged in Mis foul work are not lit to tie the luteliets of his shoes and if the truth were exposed it would bo found that the whole patchwork of lies uttered in his regard was made up by one who has taken this method of repaying the benefactions which he received from Mgr. Cupel's hand. Wo. positively assert that the statements made against Mgr. Canel are false from beginning to end. AVe are in a position to say that they are lies wholly and en tirely without a scintilla of truth in any one of them , and we call upon the manly portion of the American press to publish this , our authoritative denial of the vile slanders uttered against a great and good man. He is sick now , and , while tumble to do battle in his own defense , the maggots of a disreputable press strive to crawl over his noble form. 15ut were he in condition to face the world in all the wealth of physical strength the maggots gets would .seek their hiding places , affrighted by thu bla/.o of that genius which Hashed its rays of luminous beauty in the capital of Christendom , and which will once more , with ( toil's help , shine out to carry the conviction of Christ's truth to souls now shadowed in the dark ness of error. Cupel's unruer. Now York dispatuli to Philadelphia Kecord : New Yqrjt society is trembling from its apex to its foundation , and the cause of this trembling is the recent re port about Mgr. Canel and the .scandals concerning him which have just been brought to light , i If uSow York society had taken the trouble to inform it-elf ubout Mgr. Cupel it would have learned enough to let him severely alone ; but he wus pluusible and'attructivo ' , and ho was taken into the bosom of more than one family. Friends of mine wore written to from the other side to have nothing to do with Capel when ' he came over here , as ho was in disgrace in his own Church , nml. ho. was a man who. aside from his personal fascinations , had a very poor reputation. I heard and it came to mo very straight that Capul borrowed the money to come to tills country from Henry F. Gillig , of the American Exchange. L also heard that ho got enough money from confiding ladies in Now York to pay Mr. tJillig back soon after his arrival. Ho came over here as a speculation , and it proved a successful one. It is strange to me that a man occupying Cupel's position did not cover his tracks bettor. There are men who arc guilty of the things that he is accused of whom no one ever finds out. Hut ho seems to go to work in such a clumsy way that his peccadilloes be come common scandal. This is only an other instance of American credulity where foreigners are concerned. To be a foreigner , particularly one of any no toriety , spcms sufficient reason for Amer ican tamilitis to throw open their doors and extend a most hospitable welcome. They seem to think it beneath them tote to make any inquiries , and will bring a man into the most intimutc family rela tions without knowing anything at all about him. The worst of it is that they never appear to learn a lesson from ex perience , but are constantly being taken in by foreign adventurers. * nn Honest livelihood as tlio Tutor ol'n Klch Woman's Son. SAX FIIANCISCO , Oct. 11. Some slight stir has been caused in certain circles hurc by a telegram criticising tlio rela tions of Mgr. Capel , the prelate , and t ho so-called Countess Valeusin. Some time ago Mgr. Capol suddenly disappeared from San Francisco society. Ho had been received here with a great flourish of trumpets by some notably pious pee ple. His name figured prominently in all the public prints , but the author ities of ( ho Catholic church presented a rather frigid aspect toward him. Ills real troubles began with the delivery of a pro-English speech at an Irish national mooting. Mgr. Capel entering the hall at tlio conclusion of a fiery assault on the British lion , and Ignorant of the extreme views expressed , took conservative ground and spoke warmly of the ad vantage of cultivating nlosor and more friendly relations between Ireland and England. Following this proceeding which lost him custo among the Irish resldonts , ho engaged in a controversy with the Kov. Father ( lleason , a rather spirited suburban clergyman , who wound up a severe review of the Mon- signer's argument by calling him "Tho Wandering Prelate of the Vatican. " The priest received no robnko from the dignitaries of the church for the warmth of his discussions aud'tho monsignor begun - gun to declina in popularity , and , after a vain attempt to sell a large edition of a pamphlet on the "Infallibility of the Pope , " disappeared trnm San Francisco. After awhile it became whispered around San Francisco that the monslg- nor's financial condition had become such that the position of the tutor to the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Valousiii , the parties m a sunriatiotinl , , divorce , was found most acceptable. The monslgnor's eagerness to dispose- his pamphlet seemed toeonlirm.tuWumor of his ( man- cial embarrassment. ' It was even said that the inonsignor had been reduced to tl > e extremity of dolnff manual labor , but this was known to bo false. Jlrs. ViUcu- sin. at whoso house in the Sacramento valley the monsignor had been domiciled as tutor of her young son , is the daugh ter of John F. McCauley , an old con tractor , who was prominent in politics , and died recently. He laid the substan tial foundation of his fortune on a state prison contract. DVulonsin , the divorced husband , is known as the "count , " but lias no valid claim to that title. He is a dapper. young man-about-town who Is never so happy as when exchanging confidences with a iockey or horse trainer or watching the blackboard in a pool room , His wife and her mother , who are the inheritors of McCauloy's extensive estate , claim that Valousin squandered a great deal of their money on turf speculations. Valcutin maintained in the courts that ho lost a large patrimony by his matrimonial alll- ancu. The public here le only assured of one fact , and that is , that Hie divorce case is anything but a creditable affair. As to Mgr. ( . apelj who appeared on the scene after \ alcusin had returned to the undivided company of his "horsey" com panions , tnc belief is that the prelate is merely earning a livelihood in an honor able but Inglorious and perhaps incon- genial manner , The Secret or IIOIIR Idfe. London Standard : The secret of long life has once again been discovered , this time in Flanders , and. if wo read aright the meaning of the announcement now made , there is nothing to prevent nny one from becoming a centenarian , pro vided lie will do as he Ids told by the erudjlo Dr. Hurgirraeve , who protests phjsic in the University of Itlteiit. Not only does the Flemish professor proclaim long life to be n thing attainable in cer tain circumstances , but he offers it at a rate so cheap that to any one ambitious ' of outliving hi * welcome'in the world , it would bo the veriest folly not to accept the gift. The medicine 1's not protected by a patent , though the fortunate pro prietor might , by selling what most men wish to buy , have grown rich beyond the dreams of avarice. It is no elixir of life , no Cagllostro's drops , no fountain of perpetual youth , such as that which 1'onee Do Leon sought in Florida and Sir.lnlm Mamlevilledrank of on the shores of Malabar , albeit he died of arthritic gout , the miraculous draught nohyithMandin. ' ; . Dr. Harg- graevc's medicine is nothing more re condite than common salt. Hut salt in sulllcient quantity , and , M > far as years are concerned , there is nothing to pre vent anyone from becoming a Sir Moses Monteliore or an Old Parr , or even from reaching the age of Thomas Damme.who is saiil to have died at 151 , or of Peter Torton , who declared , though lie did not produce a parish register , that ho was elo-e on to 181 the year before ho mndo ti ] ) his mind to go over to the majority. Salt , the tihentisli doctor allirms , is the great panacea tor every ill that lie-ill is heir to. ( iood health , it is his opinion , is not a matter of eliance or constitution ; the laws which regulate human life are very simple , all that wo have to do is to take care that they shall develop themselves without ob struction. Salt will enable ttiein to do this If the blood is too rich , salt will purify it If tlio blood is too poor , .salt will thicken it. Culprits who nave been punished by being compelled to eat unsalted - salted breail have almost invariably died. The want of salt caused the outbreak of a terrible epidemic in Saxony , and Hus- sian peasants , when threatened by the plague , have saved themselves by'put ting salt in their milk.
