The most weepins ruling made by an American court Coticerrlins a matter of Roman Catholic belief since it was held in this State, years igo, that a print cannot be compelled to testify to the secrets of the confessional, was handed down to-day by Surrogate George A. Benton. The case Is that of John S. Keenan, as Administrator of the estate of the Rev. James P. KleYnan. Keenan put la a claim for fcOO willed to Father Klernan for masses by Daniel Lane. Mr. Lane died July 3, 1S37, and Father Kiernan May 13, 1900. Judge Benton says: "it is not natural to suppose that the testator making- a bequest for uch a purpose would so distrust his legatee as. to insist that the service should To performed before the money was paid " .The substance of the rWisInn is that the performance of the masses by the priest in such a caso is a duty-laid on the conscience Of the clergyman alone, and that the legacy vests In the priest and passes to his legal representative who is in a position to claim Its payment. The case has no exact parallel ia the history of United States courts. HOVEHENTS OF STEAMERS. NANTUCKET LIGHTSHIP. Oct. 15,-St. Louis, from Southampton for New York, fifteen mllea east at 8:C0 p. m.

FAVORS CITY OWNERSHIP, Bat Elkhart's Mayor Vetoes an Ordinance Looking to a "Water Plant. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART, Ind., Oct. 16. Mayor Greene to-day filed his veto of an ordinance passed on Oct. 7 ordering the purchase, for $6,500, of a tract of twenty-four acres of land con tiguous to the city as a water preserve and sitjB for municipal water works. All but two of the eleven councllmen present voted for the ordinance. Mayor Greene's chief objection Is that the price is too high, as he thinks $100 an acre should be ample for public or private purposes." He also objects because the Council's rule that at least a week must intervene between second and final reading was suspended. He reiterates that he favors municipal ownership, but objects to the methods employed. The Council probably will pass the ordinance over the veto when it next meets, on Oct. 28. INDIANA OBITUARY.

It is asserted by one in authority that when the time is ripe the name of the man who is to head the new company will be announced and that then all skepticism will vanish, the name being absolute assurance- that the road will be built.

VICTIMS ARE IMPROVING. Aftermath of Thursday's Traction Collision Near Elwood. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., Oct. 16. The men who were hurt in the collision on the Union Traction line east of Elwood Thursday afternoon were removed to their homes last night; and with the exception of Walter Pruitt, conductor. on the gravel train, none of them is believed to be dangerously hurt. The wreck seems to have been the result of a "lap" order, so the motormen say, both claiming to have been running under orders when the collision occurred. Even under those circumstances the wreck could have been avoided but for the woods which screened the curve, and it is said that the company will take f-teps to secure the grove and raze it to eliminate further danger at this point. The wrecked cars were burned on the scene last night and the track repaired after a few hours delay. Trouble In a Militia Company. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GOSHEN, Ind., Oct. 14.

They allege inefficiency, ignorance of military matters and neglect of his men's comfort at the recent Kentucky maneuvers. The trouble was brought to a crisis by the recent arrest of members of Goshen and South Bend companies by the civil authorities on charges preferred by Captain Pease during the carnival In this city, creating a 6candal for the company that it is believed proper military discipline would have averted. . 3Iasonlc Temple Rededlcated.

Some of the charities in Boston are new and attractive. "Rides for Invalids" Is not new, but it is attractive. It was founded in 1S74, and its survival for this long term of years proves that it has met a real need. The field has Increased with the years. The need of funds has increased correspondingly. What good does "Rides for Invalids" do? It provides carriage drives, harbor excurFlons and electric car rides for many 111 and feeble poor of Boston. By means of boat and electric-car tickets and by definite arrangements with certain stable-keepers In the various districts, it distributes these benefits quickly and effectively. The selecting of worthy cases is done by physicians, district nurses and philanthropic workers, because they come into close touch with the needy. Accurate records are kept of the work done, and care is taken that those aided shall be truly needy. The result 13 that these outings are brought within reach of the poor without the delay aud inconvenience arising from the less systematic efforts. "Rides for Invalids" is a unique charity. It is wholly distinct from "The Country Week." It is an "all-the-year-round" charity, it does its work quietly, but its sphere of usefulness Is limited only by the amount contributed to its support. These are the statistics for the year ending March 31, 1003: Carriage drives furnished.. Harbor tickets Car tickets s 1.&S4 1.204 too Total 13.543 All friends are invited to send their donations to William H. Baldwin, president, No. 48 Boylston street, Boston, Mass., marked "Rides for Invalids," and remittances will be duly acknowledged. THE AMERICAN SHOE. Relative Merit of English nnd United States Footwear. Shoe and Leather Reporter. Considerable controversy and discussion has been indulged in of late by certain English shoe manufacturers, wholesalers and trade journals regarding the solidity and wearing Qualities of American shoes and in treating on the subject the remarks have invariably been uncomplimentary to our manufacturers. Some have unblushingly stated that the Yankee shoe is unfit for the English market, owing to the fact that after it has once been worn in the rain it is practically unfit for further wear. Such libelous statements scarcely need any comment, for our comparatively large exports to Great Britain during the past two years are direct and substantial indorsement of the growing popularity of the American shoe there. It was only recently that the conservative London Times humorously remarked that If the. Importation of boots and shoes into England was not checked it would only be a question of a short time when every Englishman would know how it felt to be in American shoes. The style nnd finish of the Yankee shoe Is such that its superiority goes unquestioned by its enemies and therefore the only opening for attacking its merits lies in questioning Its "make-up" nnd wearing qualities. American shoe producers catering for foreign trade realize that some English shoe manufacturers lose no opportunity of defaming the solidity of the Yankee boots and shoes and they have In a measure defended themselves by furnishing foreign buyers with an honest description of the "make-up" of their goods. No attempt has been made to deceive the buyer or prospective buyer of American shoes. He has been informed that if he needed a shoe to sell at fl or less he would get an article which would contain more or less "compo." but that if he wanted a "solid" shoe it would be furnished nnd warranted to wear equal to any English-made "boot" nt a relative price. Many United States shoe manufacturers

have publicly announced their views of what they consider constitutes a "solid" shoo and in all cases they state that they understand a "solid" shoe to mean an article with outer sole, Inner sole, half sole and counter to be cut from good sole leather one piece thick. The workmanship must be lirst-class and the shoe entirely free from pasted leather or "compo" of any description. WILL OPPOSE STRIKES.

Master Horseshoer Agree to Raise a Fund of $2m,00. ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 16. Provision was made at the concluding Fession of the Mas ter Horseshoers' convention for a contingent fund to oppose strikes. A special a?tessment will be made during the next three months until the fund amounts to $75,000, and like assessments will be ordered until the fund reaches $230,000. It was decided to send a representative to the Na tional Employers' Association, which holds its annual convention in Chicago Oct. 29 and 30, to investigate the Invitation of that organization to affiliate with it. The use of the national stamp which the masters place on each shoe was ex tended to corporations doing their own horseshoeinsr. The question of establishing a college of horseshoeing was referred to a special committee, which will investigate the proposals of Battle Creek, and, if tho matter is practicable, the college will be founded by the association. Detroit was selected as the convention city for next year. The business of the convention -concluded with the election of officers and, with exception of the first vice president, all the old officers were re-elected to office. James O Leary. of Philadelphia, was elected first vice pres ident. SHOT THROUGH THE HEART CONSTABLE KILLED WHILE TRYING TO All REST A NEGRO.
