O'NEIL , Neb. , March 21. To the Editor of
The BeeMy attcnttcn has been called tea
a column In your leauo ot March 18 , under
the caption , "St. Patrick and Ireland. " It
purports to bo the report of a lecture de
livered on "St. Patrick and the True Teach-
log ot the Early Irish Church" at Trinity
Episcopal Cathedral , by Rov. Robert Dohcrty ,
S. T. U. May I trust to your spirit of fair
play for permission to correct two or three
of the learned doctor's Inaccuracies for the
sake ot historical truth ?
The learned doctor la reported to have
ald , "St. Patrick's father was a deacon , and
his grandfather waa a priest. " I call as
witness against Dr. Doherty ono whoso memory
'
ory he , doubtless , reveni , the moat eminent
Irish Protestant historian , Dr. Usher , who
wrote : "St. Patrick was born A. D. 372 , end
Ills father was called Calphurnlus , a cen
turion. and a denizen of a neighboring city
ot the Romans. " History tel'e ' ua his father
was a Roman centurion , hut ot hla grand
father It la wholly flllent. Dr. Doherty's
assertion that ho was a priest la entirely
gatultous , and I am euro the learned doctor
Is too 'Well versed In. . dialectics to have for
gotten that "quod gratia assorltur gratia
negatur. " Again , heIs reported to have
said , "Tho church of Rome had nothing at
all to do with his ( Patrick' ' ? ) mission to Ire
land. " Ozaciam , the greatest historian of
those times , In his learned work , "Etudes
Gcrmanlques" ( vol. II , page 99) ) , gives us
the story of Patrick's mleslon to Ireland.
Ho writes that Patrick , having proved hlm-
Bolf worthy of the dignity by years of fitudy
awl spiritual preparation at Tours , and also
at the great sanctuaries of Marmoutler and
Lorlns , wan raised to the priesthood. He
had never forgotten Irelrnd , where ho had
Buffered In slavery , and his consuming desire
sire was to return to that country to preacl
Christianity to the Irish people. Having re
cclved credentials from his relative , St. Mar
tin , bishop of Tours , and from St. Gcrmanua
bishop of Auxcrre , ho set out for Rome to
lay his desires before the pope , the eiipromo
liead on earth of the Church ot Christ. The
pontiff at that tlmo occupying the chair o
Peter , Pope Celcstta , approved of his plans
and , having blessed him , i-ent him as bishop
to preach the faith of Christ to the Irish.
RECOGNITION OF THC POPE.
Dr. Dohcrty further asserts , "In his ( Pat
rlck'fi ) confee-slor.a ho sajs nothing at al
about Rome or Its Church. " In giving , be
fore his death ( which the Protestant hla
torlan , Ueher , places A. D. 493) ) his final In
structlonis to his dlsclpleo , the hlshops am
priests ot Ireland , ho blda them , In all case
ot dllTlctilty and doubt , to go to Rome t
appeal to the pope , whom ho calls the mi
promo arbiter on questions ot icllglcti
Again , ho afflrms to hie dlsclplca that to b
Christiana they must bo followers of th
hlshop of Rome. The very words wrltte
by Patrick himself arc , "Ut ChrWIanl It
ct Romanl sltte. " "As you are children o
Christ , so bo you children of Rome. " ( E
dlctls Stl. Pntrltll , Dook of Armagh , folio 9.
Dr. Doherty continues : "The church o
Ireland , which St. Patrick fourded , derive
Its orders from St. John at Ephesus , throng
others to the Gallic Church. " That asaer
tlon Is disproved above by the very fact o
Patrick having been sent to Ireland fcon
Home by Pope Cclcstln , and by the furtho
proof which I shall now adduce to dl > ? prov
the doctor's moat alarming and original as
eertlcn , viz. . "Tho Church of Ireland wai
brought under the control ot Rome In thi
Twelfth century. " To confute the learnci
doctor I bring forward the most remarkabli
Irish scholar and preacher of the seventl
century , St. Columbanus. This learned Irish
man left Ireland In the 30th yea ;
of his age and began to preach ti
the Franks In A. D. 590. Ho preachec
throughout Europe to the Franks , and th
Atamans , and Lombards , and , when ver ;
old , received from Agllulf , king ot the Lorn
bards , the territory of 'Bobblo ' , situated be
twcen Genoa and Milan , where ho toundei
the famous University of fflobblo. which fo
many centuries had a world-wide reputatloi
aa a citadel of Chrlotlan orthodoxy. Thl
Columbanus Is my witness against Rev. Dr
Doherty. Ho left Ireland to preach In con
tlncntal Europe In the vigor und bloom o
manhood , and ehpuld be , therefore , a gooi
witness regarding .tho religious affiliation
of the Irish people. In a very famous publl
loiter to the pope of that day ( Pope Donl
lace IV ) Columbanus .writes : "I speak t
you not ua a stranger , but as a disciple , us i
friend , as a servant. We Irish , who Inhabl
the extremities of the world , are the dteclplc
ot St. Peter and St. Paul , and of the otne
apcetlcs who have written under the dicta
tlon of the Holy Spirit. Wo ore bound t
the chair of St. Peter ; for , however grea
ami glorious Rome may be , It la this chal
only which makes her great and glorlou
among us. Although the name ot the anc-len
city , tliu glory of Anaemia , had been eprca
throughout the world as something supreme !
august , for us Irishmen , you are august an
great only since- the spirit of God breathe
upon us. lleeauso of the two great apostle
of Christ , Peter and Paul , you are now t
us almost celestial and Rome Is the lica
of the churches ot the whole world. "
EVIDENCE OF AN IRISHMAN.
That IB the evidence of an Irishman , remarkable
markablo In his day for learning , regardln
the religion ot the early Irish church ( vld
'Eplst. ad Honlf. edltlo Gallaad. page 353
Ilut one other authority against Rov. Di
Doherty and I am done. There Is still pre
served In Ireland the famous Irish Stow
missal. which w is used for mass by the carl
Irish hlshops and priests. In that oncler
oulssal there Is a mass which opens wit
nn Invocation or short litany of the salnl
thua : "Holy Mary , pray for us , " "St. Pelt
pray for us , " "St. Paul pray for us , " on
EO on. Then , again , la that same old mat
book , In the nexit folio following this Htan
of saints , there Is a prayer la which tb
Irish acknowledge the primacy ot St. Pete
ana Invoke his Intercession. The prayer I :
"O Qed , who have Invested with the per
tincal prerogative of binding and loosln
eouU your blessed apostle , Peter , by glvln
him the keys ot the kingdom ot heavoi

OMAHA' . March 22. To the Editor of Tt
Dee : Mr. Peter Drophy's criticism on my S
Tatrlck'a lecture , delivered ID Trinity cath
dral , has been called to my notice. Ills ui
complimentary reference to myself may I
permitted to p * s * i a mode ot reasonlc
GCCMlonally adopted by icme ot IDc
cemed countrymen. Aa to the prophecy of
my fate at the hands of posterity I can only
otiEolo myself in the conviction that not
ven all the IrUh prophets are annotated.
ly molest Individuality may thus be dis
posed ot as not being at all germane to St.
'atrlck and the Roman church. 'Mr. Drophy's
hargo that I am an Episcopal clergyman la
rue. It Is the church of my birth , my
aptlsm , my Intellect and my heart.
In the course of my lecture I expressed my
dmlratlon of the ministry and membership
f the Roman church for their manifest de-
otlon and fertility In faith , eclf-dcnlil and
harlty , thus dally demonstrating among us
ho power of the living Christ within her ,
nd I declared that If the time should ever
omo when I should see her divested of all
ave her ancient faith , her true devotion
nd with all her faults , her renowned his-
ory , she would command my confidence and
ffc'Ctlon , as she now has my admiration , I
urther declared my belief thit the courage ,
gcnlUf ) nnd devotion of the nons ot Erin and
ho exalted purity of 'her ' daughters made
rcland the one flawless Jewel In the Roman
lara.
Indeed , I suspect Mr. Drophy did not hear
ho lecture at all. It Is not improbable that
ibout the tlmo of Its delivery he may have
icon engaged with the governor of Nn-
braska , the mayor of Omaha and several
ither local celcorltles In preparing rcsolu-
.Ions and a rifle to blow the whole British
empire to the kingdom come. Nebraskans
are Interested In the extermination of the
ingllsh. They are worse than the grass-
loppers they not only devour our crops ,
> ut our cattle. If the governor , the mayor
and my friend , Mr. Rush , can wipe them out
with the resolutions ard the rlflo wo can
cccp our corn and cattle at home.
Hut Mr. Drophy wants history to Justify
the assertion that the Holy Roman church
Is In any sense responsible for the calamities
of Ireland. Well , Mr. Urophy , you shall
have the history , sir , and I did not make it ,
or discover It , cither. Indeed , I wish I were
an Inventor , for then , like Saul of Tarsus , I
could make my own living and minister as
well. It was In the year 1153. A Frenchman
named Henry Plautagcnet , possessed of the
generally flexible conscience of the period ,
manaucd somehow through an understand
ing with the church to take to himself the
divorced wife of the king of France and with
her a very largo slice of real estate. Now
this eecma a little wicked I mean , of course ,
the taking of the other man's wife but In
those days the pope could make anything
right for a proper consideration. Cardinal
Uaronlus says that what the pope does la
right. .At all events , by strategy this Henry
succeeded In adding to his real estate In
Franco by homcateadlng- the whole of
England. At that time almost every English
man's property was confiscated for a French
man and no Englishman hold any oillco of
trust under the Government. The language
of the conquerors of England was French.
Now , In 1155 , Henry , having arranged matters
with Pope Hadrian about the aforesaid mar
riage business , the pope being In qulto good
humor. Henry broached gently to
him the project ot church exten
sion. Ho suggested that It might
ho a good plan for him to llmberclalm
Ireland and the pope to pluck the persim
mons. On this the pope sent Henry a nice
gold ring aa proof , of his pleasure to bo part
ner In the prog. IIo accompanied the ring
by a bull , declaring that ho approved of the
undertaking , that every country which
named the name of Christ belonged of right
to St. Peter and the Holy Roman church ;
that ho could take possession of the country ,
but must reserve ecclesiastical rights Invio
late and ono penny for each house to St.
Peter. Thus were the liberties of Ireland
In church and state bartered away by this
pope to this Angevin robber. Hadrian had
aa much right to donate Ireland to Henry
as I have to endow Mr. Drophy with the
moon.
Henry was not ready to enter on the ex
pedltlon to Ireland until he had arranged
his little difficulty with Ttioma. a Decke
by the translation of that saint , and by ttia
tlmo Hadrian , too , died , and was succeeded
by Alexander. This was Alexander II , no
Alexander IV. I want to be particular Ir
giving Mr. Drophy the history. This Alex
ander gave Henry another bull , conflrmlm
the previous ono of Hadrian. Now Robcr
Fltzstcphens and .Maurice Fitzgerald , at tlv
head of a few followers , came over to Ire
land ostensibly to aid ono Dermot McMoroug ]
to regain hla realm of Lclnster , and the nigh
of them gave the Irish surh flta that they al
took to the woods. Then came DeLacy , am
lastly , Henry , with a few followers , and th
two bulls came over and walked about every
where unreslsted. If there were any Irlsl
bulls In those days they could not have beci
any good.
Henry summoned tbo synod of Cashel
oufftt the Irteh church Into ( subjection t
the pope , after having enjoyed a separat
existence as tbo Church of St. Patrick fo
720 years. Now 1 hold the pope responslbl
for the after miseries of Ireland because b
simply raising the cross In hie hand he coull
have prevented the conquest , whereas ho li
the eacred name of religion and with hi
awful power was the chief actor la the cause
leva crime.
I held England In my lecture rcpponslbl
for the woes of Ireland since Uio conqueal
Irishmen now , however , are under Engllsl
law as much as Englishmen. The Brills' '
empire , upon which the sun never sets , 1
open to them , and every office under th
government Is within their reach. They ca
even como to this country and establish horn
rule In our cities. It eeema aa If In a unite
brotherhood ot common speech and commo
Interests all past wrongs might bo condone
and forgotten. If , however , my countrjmer
or some of them , will not In this way b '
satisfied with the earth , they might per
haps go with Jules Verne and try It at th
moon. ROBERT DOHEUIY.

, to Settle. * |
The city officials will confer with the com
mittee of the llolln bondsmern In regard to
the suggested settlement of the claim ot the
city , but It to pretty well understood that
any definite proposition must come from the
bondsmen. The communication from T. J.
Mahoney , which waa referred to the finance
committee of the council Tuesday night ,
merely suggested a conference with
out committing the bondamcn to any.
thing tangible. Chairman Burkley of
the finance committee says he will
certainly recommend that a committee
confer with the bondsmen. If the
bondsmen have a proposition to make , It
will be no moro than courtesy to give It
duo consideration. Neither Mr. Burkley nor
any of the other councllmen are willing to
discuss e. basis of settlement. They say that
It is for the bondsmen to make a proposi
tion , and then It will be time enough to
consider it. It Is not expected that any
action will bo taken in the matter this
week , as the finance committee will report
back to the council before further procedure.
Serve * Notice on Xew York Ilrokor.
City Treasurer Edwards haa telegraphed
Bernard Thurman & Co. that unless he re
ceives on or before Thursday an assurance
that the firm will accept the refunding bonds
It recently purchased ho will readvertlso
the bonds and hold the firm accountable for
all damages that may bo sustained by the
city on account of its failure to back up its
bid. It Is pretty well settled that the New
York firm will not take the bonds , and
In that case the bonds will bo sold regard
less of the legal proceedings now pending ,
which refer only to the certified check put
up by Bernard Thurman & Co. and which
the bank has refused to pay. The city offi
cials are confident that they can eventually
hold the check and It Is expected that the
$0,000 deposit will bo amply aufficlent to
reimburse the city for any losa that may
occur by reason ot having to sell the bonda
a second time.
The final hearing of the case ot Bernard
Thurman & Co. against the City of Omaha is
not likely to come up for final hearing until
the May term of the district court. In the
meantime the Injunction restraining the city
from appropriating the proceeds of the $0.000
check will continue In force.

The city council met Informally yesterday
afternoon to discuss the matter of a settle
ment with the owners of the Elkhorn Valley
house for the damages alleged to have been
sustained on account of the decision of the
city not to carry out Its previous Intention
of using the property for a city Jail. George
P. Bomls represented the owners and after
a coed deal of discussion the councllmen
present Insisted that ho should make a
definite proposition. Mr. Bcmts suggested
that ho thought that his principal would bo
satisfied If the city would put the building
back In as good shape as it was before any
of the floors or partitions were torn out.
President BIngham Insisted that the proposi
tion should bo submitted In writing In order
that the council might have something
definite to act on and this will be done at
another meeting , which will be held at 9
o'clock this forenoon.

Captain Haze of the police department
disclaims responsibility for the disappear
ance of Thomas < Bronson , the "pure thing"
gambler , who failed to stand for his pre
liminary hearing In police court on a charge
of setting up and maintaining gambling de
vices. He shifts the blame for the inadc- "
quato bond of $100 In the case to Chief of
Pollco Gallagher , who eays In explanation
of it that his shoulders are broad enough
to carry It gracefully.
"When I accepted Bronson's bond , " ex
plained the captain to The Bee , "It was un
der direct instructions from the chief ot
police. I only obeyed the order of a su
perior officer , which it was my duty to do. "
"Captain Haze tells the truth about that , "
said Chief Gallagher , when uskcd afterward
about the correctness of the statement , "and
I think It U an Injustice to him to lay the
blame upon him. I think It Is a mighty
good thing for the city that wo have got
rid of Bronson so easily , and for my part
I am entirely satisfied with the whole trans
action. He is nothing but a swindler and
his presence hero would only be a source of
constant annoyance to the police. "
Thus it will bo eeen tlmt the chief has
"Investigated" the case partially , at least ,
to his own satisfaction.
Captain Haze also says that It was not
through any carelessness on hta part that
the "holdout harness" which waa taken away
from Bronscci was stolen from the desk In
the captain's private office nt the central
station. Captain Mostjn was In charge when
the theft was committed , he states , and as
tbo "harness" disappeared In the night tlmo
ho claims that he could not bo blamed. Whoa
he retired for the day the dcvlco waa still
on the desk.
"I want to say right here , " said
he , with dramatic earnestness , "that
I am not In league with any gambler or
clique ot gamblers. As a captain of police I
am ready and anxious to perform cuy duty
that may devolve upon mo without fear or
favor. In all affairs pertaining to my offlco
I purpose to act upon orders from my su
periors. There would be no use In my at
tempting to buck the powers above me. If
they have a certain defined policy relative to
gambling In the city It would bo foolish on
my part to bo obstreperous and attempt to
enforce mother policy over their heads.
Personally , I am ready to go out and arrest
every gambler in the city , but as a subordi
nate officer I must , In the line of my duty ,
obey the orders of my superiors In author
ity. "
Captain Haze eays ho Is Informed by Bron-
fion's bondsman that the fugitive gambler has
gcao to Seattle with the Intcntkn of returnIng -
Ing to Omaha about May 15 to remain during
the summer.

Postmaster Martin Is becoming gradually
confronted with a big problem In the matter
ot handling the malls received and distrib
uted In this city during the coming year ,
Indications are that the present force will be
ewamped In the months to come with the
constantly Increasing flood of letters , paperc
and packages which will flow throup.h the
office during the exposition period. No othci
course seems to bo open to the postmaster
except to make a requisition upon the Pest-
office department for more help a very un-
3 satisfactory sort of a proceeding from the
} fact that the Washington authorities are do.
3 lug all in their power to keep down the post-
5 office expenses and have written to the local
offlco several times regarding the advisabil
ity of cutting the force which Is now em.
ployed.
The amount of mall now being handled k
the postofflce hero is 60 per cent greatei
than a year ago , according to the estimate
ot Postmaster Martin. One-half of this In
crease Is the result of the revival of bus'nces
This Is fully proven by the estimate of the
. local officials ot the railroad mall service
who say that the amount ot mall handled 'bj
the postal clerks on this division la fully 2 !
per cent greater than a year ago. These
clerks are having all they can do now , am
If the Increase continues the number o
clerk.3 on the division will have to bo In
creased to properly look after the service
The remaining halt of the Increase it
the city Is the direct result of the exposition
The population of the city has largely In.
creased during the last few months , and till !
will steadily continue until the exposition ii
over. The amount of mall received and de
llvercd will proportionately Increase. In ad
dltlon , the exposition has considerably ex
tended the correspondence of the people al
ready residing hero , and especially of thi
merchant class. The rush haa already com
mcnced , but It will not bo In full flood untl
the pates of the exposition are opened.
The present force In the pcstoffico Is al
ready being rushed. The mall clerks , whi
r have been working eight hours , have hat
another hour added to their day , and an
8 compelled to keep busy nlno full hours to ac
coramodate the public. Under the rules o
the government the carriers cannot b
worked more than eight hours , without draw
Ing overtime , and they are still worklni
an eight-hour day. They are finding grea
difficulty In distributing mall In the re
quired hours. Carriers who have been on tin
force for years say that never In the his
tory of the local offlco has such a heavy mal
passed through It as at the present time.
As has been said , Postmaster Martin sec
no other way out of the difficulty at the prcs
ent time than to request moro help and i
requisition for a greater force will soon b
sent by him to the Washington department

The Omaha Street railway will have thrc
main lines running to the exposition ground
during the summer and will put on extr
service on busy days. Superintendent Smll
says that the park commissioners object t
the extension of the Tv.'cntlet
street line alongtho 'boulevard , E
It has been decided to run th
line from Twentieth to Twenty-fourt
along Lake street. This line , together wit
the two other main lines , Is capable ot car
rylng 100 people a minute to tbo ground ;
In addition to thcao a special service wl
be run from around the loop to the groundi
It has not been determined yet what Un
the special cars will pass over , . The objec
of this extra service Is to accommodate , th
largo number of transient which will conge :
down town. Mr. Smith thinks that In a
emergency the capacity of tbo lines can b
forced up to 200 , and In bis estimation thi
will be adequate to accommodate the crowd
during the exposition. Mr. Smith think
the travel this summer will be very dlfteren
from that ot state fair tlmo In that peopl
will not want to all go at Just the sam

auch that travel will continue In both dl

'About two weeks ago the young nomalj
began to develop strnngo fancied and her aw
tltmle toward .Miss Enrlght and the ethel
occupants of the homo bccnmo haughty ana
at times violent. Tlio slightest attention
that was paid to her or any effort towarcl

at the Institution feared her and Miss Eh
right was constantly worried for fe-ar Mlsi
Walker would do some Injury ( o herself
Despondency , and melancholia followed at
a physician was called to take charge o
the case. The young woman would hav <
nothing to do ulth the doctor , and Mis
Enrlght states It as a fact that to ho
personal knowledge not a morsel of too
has passed the artist's lips slnco she firs
'began to develop symptoms ot a detlironel
mind. All offers to Induce her to eat wor
refuted In a most violent manner.
. Tuesday morning Miss Walker receive
her trunk from San Francisco , and then a'nV
nounccd to IMlss Enrlght that she intcndMJ
to leave the homo and go to her mother in
the Bluffs. Packing two small valises wltkf
wearing apparel and other articles , she left
the homo without a word to any person an *
started over the rlvor.But she changed h6
mind about going and returned to the in

herself upon the bed without disrobing
y Nothing moro was known about her movt

Among Mica Walker's effects In the vallf

Intention of advising the young woman'
