Tho School Question in Ohio.
WRY IlOMAK CATHOLIC PAROCHIAL
SCHOOLS ARE EXEMPT FROll TAX
ATION. Cleveland, July 12. A case that
has attracted a great deal of public at
tention has been on trial In this city tor
several days past, befoie Judge Jones,
In llie equity branch or the common
Pleas Couit, in which Bishop Gilmour,
the Catholic Blsnup ot this diocese,
sought to enjoin the County 'treasurer
from collecting soiueyu.UUU of taxes as
sessed on lands alleged to be held by
him in trust for tho use of the Catholic
parochial schools. The Biihop himself
and other clerical witnesses were cross
examined exhaustively, and a largo
number of Papal documents, decrees of
various Councils, the Enctcllcal letter i
ot the Pope, &c, were introduced by
tho defendant lor the purpose of show
ing that the parochial schools wero or
ganized and conducted for purposes
hostile to free Institutions, nimopposed
to tne public policy of the atate, and
were not, therelore, to.be construed as
coming wlthlu the exemption clauses of
tho statutes, either as publio schools or
institutions purely ot public charity,
and to show that the Bishop holds tho
title to the property, not as trustee, but
that he is absolutely accountable only
to the Popo of Rome, To-day Judge
Jones, lu au elaborate opinion, held
that the establishment ot thede schools
was not in any legal sense opposed to
tho publio pollcj, unless they were
talntea with Illegality of origin, pur
pose, or lena-mcy, or were in ponira
ventiou of public morality ; that the
Bishop was really the trustee of the
property for school purposes, apd that
a Court of Equity could enforce the
trust ; that the school property was not
exempt as public school property, but
that being built and partially carried on
by voluuiary donations, aud no income
trUiug therefrom, they were exempt
from taxation as institutions purely of
public charity, and under the biilu law
is, other recturlau colleges and Institu
tions of the State, so lar as general tax
stion was concerned, but Uut exempt
frum special assessments for sewers,
paving, i&c.
-rA lady In the sulto of tne Princess
of Wales, when that lady and her hus -sand

that the Sultati had ever bat a.t dinner

A Revelation of True Inwardness
Op TIlE TUINO.
From tho World : Tho following let
ter received in this city from an Eng
lishman of distinction, as familiar al
most with the United States as with
England, has been Imuded us for .pub
lication. It opens tho way, no dcubt,
for an Interesting series of social revela
tions :
London, Juno 30. Well, Gen.
Grant lias come nnd gone, been linn
l?el, dined and wined to his heart's
content and beyond, another link has
been forged in tho chain which binds
together the two great brandies of tho
Anglo-Saxon race I believe that's the
proper way ot putting it but, as al
ways happens on sucli occassloii3, thero
is n disagreeable undercurrent left bo
hind ot tales told out school which .1
suppose will be suro to find their way
to the light of day sooner or later.
Perhaps, therefore, thero Is no objec
tion to my telling yon that people were
not universally delighted Hero with tho
ex-President's ways, aud that they wero
pretty universally disgusted with the
ways of some of the people who mado
social capital for themselves out of Ins
visit or belonged to Ids suite. In the
first place, his silence at most of the
dinners which ho attended was some
thing absolutely appalling. On two
occasions lie literally never spoke oho
word (rom the soup to the salad. At
another dinner ho almost broke up thu
company by objecting to allow the
Duke of Cambridge to take precedence
oi mm tins, uouuuess, on tne uisiigc.
tion of Pierrepqnt.
Worst of all the stories current, how
ever, is that In the Princess of Whales'
drawing room at Marlborough House
lie pulled out an enormous clar and
was coins to Unlit It, when somebody
stepped up and prevented hlni. How
ever, he must not bo too harshly Judged
tor inis.ior wuen :ir. ccwaru was uere,
twenty years ago, and wis taken by
Mr. Dallas In full dress, witli ruffled
shirt to a private conceit at Bucking
ham Palace, he insisted on Infecting
himself with tho fumes of a huge 11 a
vaua Just before ho went, in spite of a
civil hint from Mr. Dallas that tho
Queen had a strong personal repug
uaucu to the smell of tobacco. More'
over it Is well known that poor dead
Mrs. Thornton thu excellent house
keeper of Wlndsoi Castle, never got
over the abominable conduct of victor
Emanuel, who, visiting tho Castle when
King of Sardinia, insisted on smoking
nil uicht Id bed, and thereby, as Mrs.
Thornton used to say, "poisoned-' the
beautiful green eatln haugiugs of his
room.
The "trick and tho manners" of the
ex-President, however, probably would
not havo annoyed people so much had
it not been for tho insufferable way in
whicli ho was compelled to drag the
Minister and the Pierrepont connection
nbcut with It 1 tn wherever he went. He
was incensed at this himself, and open
ly expressed his satisfaction at getting
out of Caveudish squaie. Gen, Badeau
was another bob on the Presidential
kite which Happed unpleasantly In peri
pie's faces; nnd it is a great pity that
some KlDd tilepd nail not advised (Jen
nud Mrs. Grant to send that young
hopeful, their boy Jesse, to school be
fore them In bomucool aud healthy part
of Switzerland, yn the evening of tne
dinner nt .Windsor nils mifculded lad
by way of making himself agreeable to
tho uueen, went up lo her Majesty and
nlTably attempted to open n converse
ttoq Willi her by .saying: "Well
ma'am, your Majesty, I hope you
newspapers don't willo about you In
vour country as ours do about mv fath.
It and mother." I grievo to say that?
the Interesting conversation thus began
never went any further. The younc
gentleman, I believe, still lives, and I
hope is not beyond learning.
t Ono Hundred Hats.
An
.Entertainment to wiycn the
sfoRTs were very Privately In
vited.
From the New York Sun: In tho
rear of a large building In the Seven
teenth Ward, a large number of sport
ing men and dog fanciers assembled at
8 o'clock Friday evening. As the.tselect
few who had been invited arrived, they
were challenged at the door, and the
watchman having given his signal the
bolts were dr.iwn back nud the party
were admitted. At t) o'clock Richard
Toner, the professional rat catcher, aud
his assistants entered. "Dick, the Rat,"
as he Is known, at once made the pit.
This cou-lsted of lour large boards,
about four feet high, by six feet long,
and fastened with strong Iron bolts.
Having swept the floor cuiefully, Dick
aud lili assi-tants went out and fetched
two large bags.
" Here's tho .so.uealers," a spotting
roan shouted, ami theu the piercing
squeals of the Imprisoned rats,, were
heard. The referee announced that
Jim Doyle's white bitch "Nellie" was
matched to kill ono hundred rats
against "Whip's" best time, namely;
fitteeu minutes and fifty seconds.
A call was made for the rats.
"They're tho best In the market,"
said Dick. " This lot Is a selection
from Fulton Market, the Slurtevant
llouso and the beet hotels,"
The two bags were tossed Into the
pit and emptied. Out tin y rolled, great
big, tat, stronr;. ueiy iiciiunir raw.
Some had thejlr tails cut; others were
badly ecarrid. After tunning rouud
the pit tlley huddled close to the sides,
biting and tearing each other. The
referee pronounced them sound and
good. v
Cries for Jim Doylo and Nellie
brought up a thick 'set, good-looking
youngster, who hold by a stout chain a
strong, well-built, pure white bitch.
Bowing to the spectators, Jim Doyle
stripped off his coat aud vest, lucked
his pantaloons Into bis boots, and
sprang Into tho pi t.
"Blip her collarl" ha shouted to bis
assistant, and then picking up Nellie in
his arms he held her firmly until the
word was clven. At teti o'clock pre
cisely the refereo called, "Are you
ready 1"
Jim Doylo answered "Yes I"
" Then let her go I"
And the creat white doe descended
upou tbe heap of rats. Witli her mouth
close to the ground, her tail erect, and
her thin sides heaving, she rushed upon
them. Rnntclilnr? thpm un with thn ra.
pldlty of thought, and In a twinkling
twenty lay dead In her tracks. As tho
rats fell Jim Doyle picked them up, and
they were thrown Into a bag. ;
a larce uriv rat snrane at iMeiiio.
and fdsteued his teeth In her neck, hung
there for a moment; but tho dog, with
a shako of the head, flung the rodent
aside and then crunched it.
Fifty rats were killed In six minutes,
and Nellio began to show the effects of
tho terrible heat of tho room. "Her
sides and legs bled from tho bites sha
had received, and tho excited crowd
shouted, "Give her nlr," let her have
ner own way. But Jim Doylo urged
her on, patting her. and encouraging
her with "Shako tllem there 1 shako
thorn I" At tho ninetieth rat Nellio
was ahead of time. - ller ninety-fifth

day. Rev. 11. Jacobs, for .some time
tilllcial'.ng pastor or the congregational
Church at liartlett, a Chicago suburb;
was churched, some months BInco, for
Improper use of his tongue. He ap
pealed from tins action, aua, at a meet
ing of tho council, to-day, the action ot
the lower body was confiimed, and tho
ex-pastor will be plain Mr, Jacobs here
after. He appeared beforo his reverend
brethren, and, In a piteous plea), ob
jected to being set outside, claiming'
that he was anxious to serve his Divine
Master, aud that ho had dono so. He
confessed that he had an Incurable
habit of lylug, which amounted almost
to a mania ; but, barring that trifle, he.
was free from gulit. His plea was
heard, but, to prevent disaster to the
cause, ho was Jold to depart in peace
and assume tho cloth no more, lie in--tends
now to engage In iorne. kind nf,
manufacturing busluees, where his
peculiar talents may be turned to ac
count. Cincinnati Commercial.
Two pounds cf black bread and
one quarter pound of fresh nieat, or ba
con In lieu thereof, with gut lie, salt, and
plenty of tea, seem to be the daily ra
tions of the Czar's soldiers. Occasion
ally they aro treated to a-sort of coarte
sweet beau. The Turkish' soldiers are
wonderfully easy men for'a commlssarl-,
at to satisfy. They will fight for weeks
on meal or bruised Indian. corn.
Prlrcipal Dice, ot tho schools of
Cincinnati, does not have a very en-,
couraglng idea of a woman's persistenry
In teaching. He says: "When a young
woman commences to teach a school sha
loses nine chances lu ten for marriage.
If sho teaches five years her chances for
iiiarriage and dear dellghU of mother
hood r.TO but one in one hundred, and
It sho teaches tea years her clmncs for
marriage and good social posltloiiAre
but one In ten thousaud."
