The Liberal Catholic Priest Talks Back to His Tradncers. HOBOKEX, X. J.. Dec. 23. The Rev. Father Corrlsan, of the Church of Our Lady of Grace, makes the following statement concerning the differences between himself and Father Francisco Dominica Faris, which has brought the orders of Monsignor Satolll and Bishop Wigger in direct collision. When the case first came up he decided to be silent, and he still declined to enter Into any discussion of the matter as It was still in the hands of the apostolic delegate, but he said: 'This Is the result and, I trust, the last dying effort of a most shameless conspiracy that has been waged against me since I w rote the little pamphlet whic h Bishop Wigger condemned at Its appearance In The little T.-or.k was tin honest and earnest cry for a new legislation for the American church, and it found an echo in the heart of every American, whether Catholics or not. One of Its results was the Baltimore council of PS4. and its first triumph was the establishment of a papal delegation at Washington and the consequent promulgation of. the Pope's liberal pnllcy on the, relation of Catholics to the public schools. The only thing worth noticing in the comraunlcaiion dees not bear on the merits of the case at all; besides, they are absolutely false. I refer to the statement that I asked Dr. Fads to work against Bishop WlgKer and Archbishop Corrigan and that I insisted that he should undertake the defense of a certain priest. All that I ever asked the Doctor to do was the translation of a few letters into Italian, As to the alleged defense of the priest. 1 told him when I had ascertained he was Interfering in the matter that the priest could rrj.ke no possible defense of his conduct. The statement that the pupal delef;ate and Dr. Faris were Intimate friends n Italy needs considerable modification, for, according to the delegate hlmseli, his first acquaintance with the reverend doctor wa3 truide in California."

Ind., Dec. Z5.-Mrs. Augusta Schmidt, who Is under indictment for murder the first degree, for the killing of J. Oscar Walton, her tenant, list October, and who has since lain in Jail here, is making a desiderate effort to be admitted to baii. Yesterday, through ten prominent attorney.-, she began habeas corpus proceeding, and the trial is now in progress before J u dye Kirkpatrick. The same evidence that will follow in the regular trial was introduced in the proceedings and was of a startling and sensational nature. Oct. 20 last, Mrs. Schmidt, who is a Gorman woman, forty-tlve years old, and recently came into possession of an estate valued at 160.000. quarreled with her tenant. Oscar Walton, and shot him dead. Walton was a prominent young man, son of Samuel Walton, the founder of the town of Walton, a few miles north of this city. It developed in the trial here to-day that Mrs. Schmidt claims Walton, soon after taking charge of her farm last spring, tried to induce her to procure a divorce from her husband and marry him. and that he had also made unbecoming proposals to her. Shortly after Mrs. Schmidt bought a revolver and threatened to shoot him. Tney had frequent quarrels in which murderous threats ,were exchanged, and finally resulted in a tragedy. Tie witnesses to the shooting were the ajjed and infirm parents of young Walton, and Mrs. Schmidt's son. aged ten. The Waitons occupied 'one part of the farm house and the Schmidts the other. The shooting was in the doorway leading from one apartment to the other. Walton's body f illing across the threshold. The old mother of the victim testified that Mrs. Schmidt, after a quarrel over geese getting into a corlidd, had a fight with her son, and that she then went to her bureau, procured her revolver, returned, burst in the partition door, the young man was trying to barricade, and deliberately murdered aim. Mrs. Schmidt, who pleads self-defense, says she was herself trying to barricade the door, and that Walton forced it open and made a murderous assault on her, and she was compelled to shoot him in self-defense. Her boy corroborated her story'The prominence of the parties makes the case of intense interest. The murderess is an adopted daughter of a German Baroness, by whose death four years ago, Mrs. Schmidt came in possession of a large fortune, after long litigation. The remaindtr of her inheritance will now go for attorney fees and court expenses. The trial will continue until the last of next week. A I1ACIIELOII RESIKJIIJEnED.

HAMPERING PEIXOTO

Da Gainrt Stops the Collection of Government Kevennes. Washington Officials Requested to Interfere with the Operations of Mello in Kio Harbor. (Copyrighted, 1S03. by the Associated Tress.) PERNAMBUCO, Dec. 23. The report that Ilio de Janeiro has been captured by the rebels has not been confirmed, but the most startling reports are still in circulation here. It Is announced here ia a dispatch from Ulo de Janeiro that Admiral Da Gama and the Insurgent war vessels are off Cobras island, and that they have succeeded in stopping the collection of the revenues from the custom house which have, up to the present, been paid to President IVlxoto. There seems to be some serious hitch connected with the departure of Lieut. John J. Conway, third wateh olhcer of the Nictheroy, and of the sixty yea men. The insurgents are thoroughly posted on the movements of I'elxoto's now cruisers, and it Is certain that the Aquidaban and her consorts arc expected here almost at any moment. A pi"" I from ('fiNiil-(iciiriil Townes. WASHINGTON, Dec. IT'. The Secretary of State has received the following dispatch from Consul-Kencral Townes, dated Itlo, Dec. 21: "American masters eah of them bold Brazilian I'acirtc dock permit. The docks specified are contiguous points. Protection from shore fire is promised by the government. Instruct IMcklr.K to anchor off that point for convenience, until the question is equitably settled. Insurgents make lines of lire anywhere to suit their purpose, thereby indefinitely blocking neutral commerce without previous notice." The ix3 hit which the consul-general urges is the same as that contatlncd in the petition of American vessel masters in Itlo, received several days ago. The cablegram was transmitted to the Navy Department by the State Department for its instruction, and without any request to comply with th suggestions. The Navy Department is awaiting advices from Captain Picking. With discretion vested in Captain Picking and with a United States minIsler on the ground no action will be taken on th representations of the consul-general until our other representatives are heard from. It will be seen that the dispatch is a complaint against the insurgents and a requ?st to interven? against them in behalf of neutral commerce. The government's fire is from the shore, ana it has promised protection for the contiguous line of docks from their fire. But Mello's forces are firing without regard to security on the docks. It seems to be considered doubtful In the State Department whether the government would be warranted in intervening to prevent the insurgents rom fixing their line of fire. It Is questionable whether the ripht of neutral commerce Includes a right to have a land-ing-plac3 kept safe In a besieged city. The Xctv York's Ilottom Cleaned. NKW YORK, Dec. 23. The United States cruiser New York, which has been ordered to go to sea, presumably to Brazil, was taken off dry dock at the navy-yard today and towed around to the coaling wharf, where she will be coaled preparatory to her voyage. Her bottom and sides have been thoroughly cleaned, and she is nearly ready for active service. According to Captain Thilips the cruiser had enough provisions on board to last for a trip around the world. The Captain would not say wheno JJie vessel had been ordered. HIT BY A CRANK. Wealthy Rochester Real-Estate Dealer Assaulted in His Office. ROCHESTER. N. Y, Dc. 3. A crank attempted to kill Silas O. Walbrldge, a wealthy real-estate dealer, in his office today. He had been loitering around the building until he "saw Mr. Walbrldge, enter his oflice. Following him in, as Walbridge turned to the hatrack he was hit over the head with a p.ece of rubber pipe, In which was concealed a stick of solder. The two men grappled anfi Mr. Walbrldge. who Is atout sixty years old, finally got the weapon away from his assailant. The crank fled through the door and was lost in the crowd of holiday shoppers outside, Mr. Walbridge's head was badly cut and, weakened by loss of blood, he was taken to his home. Detectives are scouring the city for the as-s-'.bunt. but he has as yet succeeded in eluding capture. His motive was evidently murder and robbery. TRAIN R0U1JERS FOILED. Attempt to Clean Out the New Orleans' Express Train Failed. ST. DOUIS, Dec, 23. Eight men attempted to-night to rob the New Orleans express of the Mobile & Ohio railway, which leaves this city at 8:33 p. m. Boarding the train at Pittsburg Crossing, the men clustered about the express cars and the tender. As the train bowled along they put their plans on the way to execution by attempting to frighten messenger Robertson, cf the southern Express Company, into admitting them into the car. He tdd not scare, and as the train slowed up for the Forest Iawn. 111., stop, the robbers escaped into the darkness and dlapicnred . At Forest Lawn the train officers notified their chief and also set the local officers on the trail, but with descriptions entirely lacking pursuit is well nish hopeless. WILL TRY AGAIN.

To-day a call was issued for a joint meeting or the general passenger agents of the trunk lines and Central Traffic Association, to be held in New York Jan. 9.

A QUEER CONFESSION. Addie Irvine Confronted with Her Own Written Statement. SALT IKK C1TV, V. T., Dec. 23.-The only feature of particular Interest in the Irvine divorce case to-day was the introduction by the plaintiff, during Mrs. Irvine's cross-examination, of the written confession made by her at Omaha Nov. 13. In it she acknowledged having sustained Improper relations with C. K. Montgomery at Lincoln. Neb., and Chicago. The witness wept for some time wh?n th confession was rend. She said: "I gave it because I thought it would prevent him from seeing ghosts and spirits, and he only wanted it for two davs." IIOCl S I'OCI S IV AHT. tjneer Tricks and Stvintllen Practiced ly Some So-Called Artists. New York World. Artists who sign their names to pictures that other men paint are quite plentiful In this town. In a little store on Fourth avenue. jut around the corner from the American Academy of Design, there are sorre very prctly examples of water colorings for sale. ITie signature in the corner of each canvas Is that of a woman. The dealer was in a communicative mood the other day. and as he was talking with a reporter he picked up one of the paintings and hold it to the light for observation and discussion. "That woman brings some very good work in here for me to sell," said he. "There Is one peculiarity alout her, though. She always writes her signature in my shop." The dealer paused as though to be questioned. "Why does she do that?" was asked. "Well, I suppose she doesn't like to put it on at the studl03 where the pictures are painted-" "She doesn't paint her own, pictures; then?" "Not all of them. It's easier to pick them up here and there and bring them to me to sell. I, don't know how much she pays the artists who paint them, and I don't care. It's none of my business. All I know Is that the work is very good and that I can get good prices for It. I suppose she is building up a reputation on the strength of these canvases Well, why shouldn't she? Sho gives work to a lot of people who would probably starve otherwise. You sec, scores of persons can paint pictures and very few have tho knack of getting them sold." Sometimes an artist signs more than no name to his own work. This rutpptr.s every dav on some of the illustrated week lb s published for Broadway circulation. The publisher doesn't like to see one man's name signed to every cartoon or full-page picture. He doesn't want it known that his staff of artists is so small. Not long ago one of the cleverest of the illustrators used to sign his own name to the big two-page picture in the middle of the periodical and a nom de plume to the first page drawing even' week. In a little while he began to receive letters addressed to the assumed name, giving orders for work and full of compliments. He had to build up a reputation for the mythical artist which he could not get for himself. His pride was hurt, but he swallowed the humiliation and proceeded to Increase the fame and the revenue of his ghost. m A New York artist who draws for the pictorial weeklies tells a story of his experience in England at a time when all the publishers were demanding French illustrators and had no use for native talent. This particular artist knew that he could cut corsages as low and skirts aa high as any Frenchman that ever lived. He had spent several vacations and lots of hard-earned money in seeing the particular side of Parisian life that the publishers were howling for at that particular time. He assusmed a very Frenchy name, wrote in that language altogether and submitted his sketches, which already out-Frenched the Frenchmen in their naughtiness. He made a big hit, his mail orders were numerous and for many months he enjoyed a lucrative Income under his title of "De Boulansrer" or whatever it was, while alt the other F. .r;lifh illustrators were drawing for the religious weeklies, which cannot afford to pay half as biff prices to their artists as their more wicked and, perhaps, more interesting contemporaries. In the window of a picture store in Harlem there were exposed for sale not long ago two small canvases with the malo name of "Corot" in the corner. The price of each was $250. Now, a genuine Corot is worth anywhere from $1,000 up. V as it a mistake or an attempt at swindling? The Pictures were in Corot's style, and onJy an expert could tell whether they were genuine or not. The dealer would give no written guarantee. He said he believed the two canvases were genuine, and he explained the low price by saying that he bought the pictures from a man in hard luck who was ignorant of tnelr value. The purchaser took all the risk. If the pictures were not genuine Corots their value was anywhere from w to That Is one of the queer things m the art business. SILIA' SOCIAL FADS. A VlRorous Objection to Some of the Rules of AVould-lle Authorities. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. There is full justification for a vigorous protest against the asinine fads that "society" is constantly declaring to be essential to social salvation. A recent and flagrant instance is the rule lately promulgated to which some silly people are frantically endeavoring to conform, greatly to the detriment of their shirt bosoms and the front breadths of their frocks, that certain spoon victuals must not be eaten with a spoon. Some one has declared that the first families convey ice cream and other sweets into their mldsts by means of forks and a great many people who desire to be considered as of the first families are accepting the declaration as authoritative. The Chronicler objects to the inspired idiots who invent such nonsenslcalltles and to the imitative idiots who adopt them with unquestioning enthusiasm. He objects to people wno raise their elbows to their ears and turn their palrns downward when they attempt to shake hands with him. lie objects to the man who says: "Thanhs. AwfuUy." He objects to the r?ople who Invsnt an unha.ua of way of pronouncing every foreign proper name that comes into temporary prorn.nence and to tb.e people who earnestly strive to 'emeu'xr o pronounce t- that wav.

A Pittsburgh who recently returned from a trir on the continent trlis of a peeu!i--r experience ho had while traveling la Switzerland. He had taken a seat in a secondclass compartment of a train Iound out of tjeneva There was no other crupant, so he settled hlih'vdf down for a comfort.ibltdsht's Journey, ridiculing to himself the short-sisiht-dness of many Americans who were fo.lh cr.o'itli not only to buy tirstclis tickets' but sleeping compartments as well. He congratulated himself upon his rrood b:.lr in huvine j-n entire compartment to himself, when the train storped at a sta

Intensified every now and then by Ifct shrieks of an Infant, the door of his compartment was opne.l and In tiled a. oourl with numerous package hut more numerous children. There were eiht little ones, lik steps, from an infant In arms to a lore lard;, overgrown loy of ten. The Pittsburger was at a los to s'e what disposition th father and mother would make of thlr offspring. His curiosity was satisfied when th father took the balo nnd carelessly threw It up in one of the package carrie rs, such as ar" found in American railroad coaches, only much l.ircer. The second chil l was placed for the nlfiht In another hol ier. Th rest of the children were disposed atmut on the seats so that it wns very comfortable for them, but most uncomfortable for th Pittsburger. At intervals all night long the two children kept howling, but the mother in one corner and the father in another slept away as though they were being lulled to sleep by soft music. It is needless to ray that the Pittsburg man lost none of th actions or sounds of the nl;ht by sleeping. He concluded that economy was one thing and comfort another, and while tf ey may sometimes go togeth-r, it is not On a continental railroad. 0VKKT00K THE ROBBER,

HoiY KasIIy n AYomnn Identified Personal Property. Detroit Free Press. It was at th baggage rooms in tho FortEtreet depot- The womau had lost th check for her trunk, and, as is usual in such cases where no Buspicion is entertained, she was ask eti to Identify her baggage. "Oh, I can pick that trunk out of a thousand. It was a zinc-covered trunk, with a etrap around it, and It had a big W for White on each end. It was a trunk my sister bought in Cincinati and paid ? for, and after ehe got crippled up with rheumatism and couldn't get out any more 4e Bold it to me for f There it is now. I'd swear to that trunk in Africa," "Hut about the contents, ma'am. You have the key?" "Of course I have. I had this key made in Buffalo last week. I loet the other key about a year ago, and I have always believed that Mrs. itobiiuson's baity swallowed it while 1 was there visiting. The poor thing had cramps for three months after I left, and she wrote mo the other day that she never expected that It would he a healthy child again." "Describe the contents" said the officer, as he pulled the trunk down. "Well, let me see? We'll begin with rh till first. There's my bonnet in the bonnetbox. I paid $7 for it in Buffalo last year, and had over $2 worth of trimmings put on last week, I don't know as I shall want to wear it once while here, but 1 thought I'd better bring it along. I was never quite satisfied with that bonnet, but I suppose ." "What else?" Interrupted the man. "There's a black fan which cost me S3 cents. I got It at a sale, and everybody says it was a bargain.

Hear and Tlcer Skins. Boston Herald. For bedrooms and the popular white drawing rooms of the day laise squares and oblong rugs of glisterdng white bear are very much In vogue; they form a most dainty and luxurious finish to milady's beautifully draped bed. Skins are often used for soft coverings and have a particularly line effect on a divan, with the head forming1 a pillow, or an armchair, where the stuffed head forms the footstool. Fur rugs are becoming more and more fashionable every yeaj-, and happy is the aesthetic woman who can afford to have a huge Bengal tiger skin with Ftuffed head and rampant Jaws to adorn the hall of her country house. A hide of any pretensions costs 1200 to $100. The fur is not very durable, and when the long, soft hair is worn off the beauty of the rug is gone.
