yRwpwPiwpiHPEPiWlHHjIBBHH s THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 1889. BOUlASGEffS BREAK. It May Hare the Desired Effect on the Parisians' Sympathies. III3 BOLD BIDS FOR SUPPORT. Germany Improving Her Artillery to Make it Lqual That of France. THE AISEE'S IDEA OP PLEASDEE. Berlin Sciool Children to Celebrate Els Ar-proacaing Birthday. Boulanccr's chances at the Paris election are yet the subject of wasrers in Prance, the letting being somewhat in the General's favor. The idol of his people is determined en his great coup, to resign his present seat and throw himself entirely on the generosi ty of the Parisians. The Panamists i ish to give him a chance to keep his promise to them. The Continent furnishes a fair budget of gossip. fBY CABLE TO THE DISrATCII.3 Paris, January 12. Interest in France centers more and more upon the Paris elec tion, at which Boulanger intends to show that he is stronger than the Republic. Prenchmen who bet are inclined to back the General, but I incline to the belief that they will lose their money. It is necessary, lowever, to say that Boulanger's chances have improved since last week. The Royal ists and Bonapartists have practically come out openly in his favor, and he himself has, it is stated, decided upon a most clever, though risky, political stroke. His idea is to resign the seat which he actually occu pies in the Chamber of Deputies, and so throw himself entirely on the mercy of Paris electors. If he does so, admiration for his pluck will doubtless decide many wavering voters in his favor. Boulanger also has been exceedingly pol itic in his bid for the support of the Pan amists, as the holders of the unlucky shares are called. WIIXIJJG TO GIVE HIM A CHASCE. Floanet who is in power and who is honest, could only tell the committee of the shareholders that'he would do his best, but could promise nothing. Boulanger, on the contrary, bewailed the lact that his hands were tied by a lack of power, sympathized teariully, promised to do everything if he should ever have the power, and, to show his earnestness, promptly subscribed for 25 bonds. The Panamists naturally say, "The actual order of things won't save us; let's give Boulanger a chance at least, to show what he can do." The piincipal hope of the present bour geois Government lies,curiously enough, in the energy that may be displayed by their natural enemies, the Socialists. These have decided to put forward a delegate of their own, and if at the first ballot Boulanger comes out ahead, as he very probably will, they will give their votes to the Govern ment on the second ballot to defeat the dreaded dictatorship. 31. Boule, the So cialist candidate, is a strong and remark able man. "While earning his living as a stonecutter, he has studied and made of himself a strong writer and an able speaker. His influence on the workingmen is great, and he may rally 30,000 votes GEEMASX JSirEOVING HEK AETILL.EET. Germany is laboring to get her artillery on an even footing with that of Prance, which will mean a very great improvement on the present state of things, and, beside this, a move in the way of fighting. The energy of the country appears to he principally con centrated on the uninteresting ilorier case. It appears fairly evident to impartial folk that Morier did not send any information to Bazaine, but it is equally evident that Bismarck means to make the English Am bassador uncomfortable if he can. It seems that the Gefficken investigation disclosed the fact that Morier was in the plot, un doubtedly organized among a few friends of the Empress Frederick, and led by her to injure Bismarck and destroy his influence by the publication of the Emperor Fred erick's untruthful diary, and otherwise. Gefficken has been set at liberty, being such "very Email fry, but Bismarck wants re venge, and being a man of very con siderable talent, Emperor Frederick's writing to the contrary notwithstanding, will probably get it. His next speech in the Beichstag is very properly looked forward to with deep interest. TEADE MUCH FIEMEE. Bereral Things Cause a Hardening Tone to tho Wheat Market. rBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, January 12. The young wheat plant is still too forward, and any severe weather, which is probable, will cause very serious damage to the crops. Trade during the week has ruled much firmer, all the markets havinr; advanced 1 to 2 cents a bushel. The blockade of the Odessa by the ice, and the falling off in the surplus on hand and the cargoes afloat, have had a hardening effect Maize has been weak, with a. declining market, on the reports of nn increase in the visible supply here and in America. On the Stock Exchange American mar kets have been very qniet, but the tone is decidedly strong, and the advance ranged from U to 2 per cent. There is, however, very little business, and the response to the sews cabled requesting the resnlt of the railroad conference has not been so import ant as it should have been. The fact is, public opinion has been for the moment di verted from America to the South African gold shares and kindred securities. A QUEEE IDEA OF PLEASURE. How the Tonne Emperor Proposes to Cele brate Ills Dlrthdny. fBT CABLE TO THE DI8PATCH. J BEBLIN, January 12. The 27th of this month is the young Emperor "William's birthday. There will be no demonstration in public, probably for the reason that it -would be very apt to take an unwelcome form. The Emperor intends to make the "boys and girls of the Berlin schools who have been very good happy on the eve of his birthday, but he appears not to have chosen the best method, supposing that Berlin chil dren are like most others, for they are to be cent to sit gratis through the performance of a patriotic play called "Die Quitzows." The Emperor's two oldest sons will be Jiresent, and the school children will have at least the satisfaction of knowing that the imperial boys have to stand the thing as veil as themselves. AN AMERICAN THE BELLE Of a Toney Ship Forty Given by Bear Admiral Greer. fBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.1 LONDON, January 12. Bear Admiral Greer has been enjoying life on the little chip that the United States furnishes him to live on down in the Mediterranean. On "Wednesday he entertained everybody at Nice and Cannes who comes under the head of the elite, and the affair seems to have been Terv cheerful. Everybody declared the belle of the ship to be an American, namely, Miss Mattie MitcbelL France Increasing; Her Nary. Pabis, January 12. President Carnot has issued a decree authorizing the con struction, in private shipyards, of two iron clad cruisers, one of which will be of 4,000 tons burthen and the other of ,000 tons. The decree also authorizes the construction of 15 torpedo boats for coast defense. LONDON STAGE TALK. What Is Going on In Things Theatrical In tho Great metropolis. BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. Londok, January 12. Connie Gilchrist, a young woman who was very much talked abont at one time, appears to have disap peared permanently from the stage. She has retired to country life, and though so nearsighted as to be almost unable to see a hedge until she is going over it, is devoting all her time to hnnting. The fact that she has not come to grief thus far is due to her good fortune in having a Duke to see that she has mounts capable of taking her over things without any ontside instruction. Hiss Agnes Huntingdon made her debut in London to-night, at thePrincess' Theater, in the title role of Planquetta's latest work, "Paul Jones." At the Globe Theater, which is run by Mr. Mansfield, "SheStoops to Conquer" was done, with Kate Vaughan as the leading attraction. Mansfield's voice has gone wrong, and he has been ordered by Sir Morell Mackenzie to take a rest for some time. On Monday, the 28th of this month, Jerome Hopkins will introduce to an En glish audience an American oratorio, in St. James' Hall. Mr. Hopkins' venture is sup ported by a lone list of well-known names. Miss Hawthorne, who has managed to keep the Princess going in spite of thebig gas bills and London's fog and capricious audiences, is seriously ill. Wilson Barrett will reappear at his old theater, the Princess', on the 12th, and after that, it is thought, may accept an offer to do Shakespeare in Paris. THE MILDNESS OF JIISSIONAEIES Causing Considerable Favorable Comment in tho Euglish Press. rBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, January 12. The outbreak in Uganda has excited much discussion in England as to its probable effect on Stanly and Emin Pasha and the future of Central Africa. The most curious thing to notice is theuuanimity with which the newspapers and others express their delight that the French and English missionaries, rivals in the labor of converting the heathens, should have been so friendly to eacn otner ana so Kind ana loroearing in ineir nigui- in their niciit as though Christian missionaries, turned out of house and home and business, might natur- ?I1;r"r5lLTPt.aChther as they ran away though the woods. This does not show very high apprecia tion in Christian England of the moral con dition of missionaries. Even the Times, which is usually very good, joins in the general chorus of exaltation at the mission aries' mildness. THOUGHT HE WAS POISONED. Tbo Frince of Monaco Frightened Within nn Inch of Ills Life. BY CABLE TO T11E DISPATCH. London, January 12. There was a very exciting time in the town of Monaco, last week. The Prince is a hypochondriac, and beside, is very delicate. Last week he ate something or other done up in paper. The food had a peculiar taste, and His Highness promptly decided that he had been poisoned. He ordered a criminal investigation, and went to bed, where he suffered as hypochon driacs who think they have been poisoned ordinarily do. The result of the investigation caused an uproar in His Highness' kitchen. There had been no poisoning, but the cook had used paper not destined for cooking pur poses, and which imparted to the food a strong carbolic taste. Valuable Property to OtTn. rBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. I London, January 12. A valuable prop erty is the Pounders' shares in the Trustees' and Executors' corporation. These, issued at 1 each, sold yesterday at 1,750. An other valuable founders' share to own is that of the London Produce Exchange, which is quoted at 1,200 limes its cost price. Colonel North Still Prospering. BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, January 12. That interesting character. Colonel North, who has lately developed in London as a money king and general heavy father to all successful enter prises, and whom I have already mentioned to yon, goes on prospering tremendously.

Another sale of French crown jewels is to come offin March, and those who failed to lay in a stock upon the last occasion will have another chance. rilTSBURG ENTTItPKISE. A New Departure by the H. J. Heinz Co. isalcsmen's CoirrentioD. It is a fact not generally known to the citizens of our city that there is in onr midst a manufacturing firm which employs over 50 traveling and city salesmen. The former number about 25,and travel over every State and Territory in the Union. Beference is made to the H. J. Heinz Company, successors to F. & J. Heinz, man ufacturers ot pickles, condiment", preserves and vinegar. This firm manufactures the largest assortment in their line in the world, and their nameand trademark. "Keystone." have become household words throughout the land. They have received all the gold medals and highest awards over all competi tors, wherever exhibited. At the beginning of the present year the firm has taken a new departure in regard to their traveling sales men. The business has grown to such a wide extent of territory, and the number of salesmen increased so largely that it was impossible to talk to each personally, Mr. H. J. Heinz therefore deemed it wise to call a convention of all the salesmen. This convention was in session for over a week, discussing the different points of in terest connected with the business, and to find ont from each one the wants of the people in this line. That this convention will prove productive of great good, not only to me nrm ana salesmen out to tne pumic as well, is undoubted, and it might be added in this connection that if other firms, in dif ferent kinds of business, wonld pursue a similar policy toward their salesmen the returns would be larger. It is not necessary to mention that the firm entertained the con vention during its entire session, and, in ad dition, gave on the evening of the 4th a magnificent banquet to the convention, in cluding all the employes of the general office, at which speeches were made and a good and happy time generally was enjoyed by all present Before the convention closed it was addressed by Mrs. Jones, of the "W. C. T. U., after which the members, as a mark of their appreciation and thanks for the courteous and considerate treatment from the firm in the past as well as for the hospitalities extended, presented to H. J. Heinz Co. a set of resolutions beautifully engrossed in the form of a keystone (their trade-mark, and which appears upon all goods manufactured by them bearing their name). They were received by Mr. H. J. Heinz in some happy remarks. Their ware houses and offices are located at 189 to 195 First avenue. Oub plan gives the borrower the best contract possible; this contract provides a minimum fortnightly payment The bor rower must pay the minimum, but he can pay as much more as he wishes. The more money paid the lareer the dividend and the shorter the indebtedness.

The Catholic Chnrch, Which Had hut 44,50D Adherents in America, ONE HUNDRED TEARS AGO, Now Embraces a Topnlation of Considera bly Over 8,000,000 Bonis. IMPOBTAXT FACTS OFFICIALLI STATED rSFECIAL TELEaRAX TO THE DISPATCH. New Yobk, January 12. The Catholic Directory for 1889, just issued, is more than usually interesting, from the fact that this is the centennial year of the establishment of the Boman Catholic hierachy in the United States. The figures have been furnished by the Diocesan Chan cellors, so that the statement that the Catho lic population numbers 8,157,656 souls must pass without question. The number of priests is placed at 8,118 2,008 regulars and 6,110 seculars. They attend 7,353 churches, 2,770 stations and 1,480 chapels. There are 199 orphan asylums, caring for it is estimated about 22,000 orphans. There are 32 theological seminaries, with 1,570 students, 125 colleges and 549 acad emies; and 2,799 parochial schools, with 597,196 scholars. Chicago has the largest number of scholars in its parochial schools 42.0S7 more than twice as many proportionately to population as New York. Brooklyn has the largest number of orphan asylums, excepting Bos ton and Baltimore each exceeding it by one but Brooklyn in its nine asylums cares for nearly twice as many orphans as both, the number being 2,357. There are IS archdioceses in tho United States with 60 suffrastcn sees, 7 vicarates and 1 prefecture apostolic. These are gov erned by 13 archbishops and 73 bishops, a lew of the latter being coadjutors, who, with the vicars apostolic have titular sees in infidel countries. Administrators rule in the vacant sees of Natchez, Miss., and Richmond, Ya., and 8 mitered abbots have wT over that number of religious com munlties. catholics in the big cities. According to the directory there are 1,030,000 Catholics in New York and Brooklyn dioceses 800,000 of them belong ing to the New York see. Albany diocese counts 135,000, Buffalo 142,136, Newark 160,000, Trenton 52,000, Ogdensburg 63,520, Syracuse 100,000, and Eochester 77,000 so that in the province of New York com prising the States of New York and New Jersey there are 1,759,656 adherents to the Catholic Chnrch. From this it will be seen that more than one-fifth of the Catholic population of the United States find homes in the States of New York and New Jersey. In the State of Pennsylvania there are 761,231 Catholics, divided among the five sees as follows: Philadelphia, 400,000; Erie, 60,000: Harrisburg, 36,231; Scranton, 90,000, and Pittsburg and Allegheny, 175,000. This demonstrates that the last mentioned diocese could stand a partition into the two fees of which it 'is composed an event, however, that will not come to pass while Bishop Tuigg is alive. In point of numbers ot Eriests and churches it shows up as well, aving 210 of the former and 138 of the lat ter running close to the Archiepiscopal see of Philadelphia, which has 283 priests and 149 churches, and almost equaling the com bined strength of the three other sees, which are as follows: Erie, 72 priests and 104 churches; Harrisburg, 59 priests and 53 churches; Scranton, 91 priests and 83 churches. The Diocese of Pittsburg and Allegheny has 74 parochial schools and 21, 500 pupils as many schools as the Phila delphia see, though 5,500 less pupils. Erie has 58 schools, Harrisburg 24 and Scranton 23, but the sum total of their scholars falls 3,931 short or reaching the number in the schools of Pittsburg and Allegheny. A CENTURY'S obowth. These figures show a remarkable growth compared with those of 100 years ago, when, at the establishment of hierarchy, the Cath olic population of the United "States num bered but 44,500. The figures of that time were collected tor the Holy see, and the division was announced as follows: "There are in New England about 600; New York and New Jersey, 1,700; Pennsylvania and Delaware, 7,700; Marvland freemen, 12, 000, slaves, 8,00020,000; at the Illinois, at Kaskaskia and severalothcr establishments, purely French, on the Mississippi, 12,000." It will be seen from this that the Catholic Centennial, which will be observed on No vember 6, 1889, will look back upon progress that not every denomination can pride itself on. Tliededication of the new Cath olic University on this occasion will ap propriately conclude the ceremonies attend ing the inauguration of another century whose promise is proportionate to the ex pectations of hierarchy. A glance at the names of the bishops in the Catholio Directory impresses one with the idea that the Catholic Church in the United States is principally indebted to Ireland for the prelates whose zeai and ability have made the record it is her priv ilege to boast of to-day. That this has al ways been the case is showD in the state ment of John Gilmary Shea, in his 'History of the Catholic Church in tho United States. Of the 171 deceased prelates whose biographies it contains, 50 were born in Ire land and a considerable number of the others were sons of Irish parents. An in vestigation of the ancestry of living prelates indicates that the hierachy, as at present constituted, leaves very few of Ireland's counties unrepresented. A FEW NOTED NAMES. James Cardinal Gibbons is the son of Irish parents, as also was his predecessor in this important office the late John Cardinal McCloskey. It might be added that the early education of the second American Cardinal was imparted to him in the land of his forefathers, and that his memories lov ingly linger in the green vales of his boy hood. Most Eev. Michael Augustine Cor rigan is the son of an 'Irish rebel, and the stately Archbishop of Chicago, Most Eev. P. A.Peehan, is one of "the matchless men of Tipperary." The oldest of the American hierarchy, in point of years and service, is the Most Bev. Peter Kendrick, Aichbishop of St. Louis, who was born 82 years ago in the city ot Dublin. The Archbishop of x'niiaaeipnia, iuosi .nev. r. j . ityan, is a native of Thurles the home of the patriotic Archbishop Croke, the "Eock of Cashel," as is also Et. Eev. Thomas Bonacum, Bishop of Lincoln, Neb. Et Eev. John Longhlin, of Brooklyn, has been given two different birthplaces by as many authorities. One says he Vas born in Tyrone, another says in Down, and the good Bishop himself once remarked to an inquisitive reporter that his memory didn't extend hack far enough to justify him speaking authoritatively in correction. Bt Eev. Patrick A. Ludden, of Syracuse, and Et. Eev. Patrick O'Eeilly, of Springfield, Mass., are both natives of Cavan, and Et Eev. "William O'Hara, of Scranton, was born in Londonderry. BBIEP BIOGBAPHIES. Et. Eev. Lawrence Scanlon, of Salt Lake City, comes from Cork, and has affectionate ly named the college in his diocese after his alma mater All Hallows. Et Eev. Jere miah O'Sullivan, of Mobile, was reared among the wild and lofty grandeur of the scenes that bless Kanturk, in the same country, from which Et Eev. James O'Connor, of Omaha also hails. Et Eev. Dennis Bradley, of Manchester, N. H., first saw the "light of day" in the "ould dart," and Queens county has the honor of being the birthplace of Et Eev. John J. Conrov, of Curium, who is so well-known to New Yorkers. Et. Eev. M. J. O'Farrell, of Trenton, spent his early davs in the "city of the violated treaty," and had posssibly as a companion" in his boyhood's sports the Et. Eev. Edward Fitzgerald, of Little Eock, Ark., who, too, is a native of Lim erick. From the county of that name also come Bt. Kev. John Hennessey, of Du buque, Iowa, and Bt. Eev. John J. Hogan, of Kansas City. Most Bev. John Ireland, the Archbishop of St. Paul popularly known as "the Father Mathew of the West" is Irish by birth as well as by name, having first seen the light of day in Kilkenny town. EL Eev. John J. Keane, the rector of the Cath olio University, is a native of Ballyshannon, County .Donegal, and Et, Eev. Patrick Manogue, of Sacramento, Cal., who worked his way from the mines to the mitre, was born at Desart, County Kildare. IRISH AMERICAN PBELATES. Bt, Eev. John Moore, of St. Augustine, Fla., claims Delvin, County "Westmeath, as the scene of his birth, and Et Eer. Eugene O'Connell, of Grass Vallev, Cal., hails from the adjoining county of Meath. Et. Eev. Tobias Mullen, of Erie, Pa., was raised in Flustown, County Tyrone. Et, Eev. Eich ard Phelan, of Pittsburg, is a native of Kil kenny, and the aged prelate, whose coadju tor he is, Et Eev. J. Tuigg, spent his boy hood in the county of Cork, among scenes entranced with the melody of 'The bells of Shandon that sound so grand on The pleasant waters of the river Lee." The bishops created during the past year are Irish by birth o'r descent. They are: Burke, of Cheyenne, "SVyo.; Hennesey, of AVichita, Kan.; McGovern, of Harrisburg, Pa., and Foley, of Detroit. Our Irish-American prelates are easily distinguished by their names. They are Et Eevs. McQuaid, of Eochester; Eyan, of Buffalo; Harkins.of Providence; McMahon, of Hartford; McNierny, of Albany; Kain.of "Wheeling; McClosky, of Louisville; Galla gher, of Galveston; Cosgrove, of Daven port, and Heely, of Portland. Most Eev. Archbishop Gross is the son, of an Irish mother, and Archbishop "Williams, of Bos ton, and Archbishop Eiordan, of San Fran cisco, are of Irish parentage. Surely this is a great and grand showing for Ireland. rmcEs down again Until May 1, 1SS9.
