1 Bishop Dwenger was a native of Auglaie
county, Ohio, lie was born in 1837. He re
ceived his early education in Holy Trinity
school?, Cincinnati. At twlve years of as;e he
bad lost by death both father und mother. Tbe
orphan boy was eared tor by the Very Rev.
Father Kuukler, the provincial superior of the
religious community of the Precious Blood.
With these fathers the boy completed a col
legiate course. In the higher branches, the-
ology and arcompuiiyiuif studies, he
jraduated at Mt. St. Mary's, Cincin
nati. He was ordained to the priest
hood for the community above named
by the Most lie v. Archbishop l'uroell, at the
parly ai;e of twenty-two year, by papal dis
pensation of course, Sept. 4, 1"'9. The young
priest wan immediately appointed processor
and director in the seminary of hi order, a
position which he held lor three years and lie
ilso founded the new seminary at Cartliageua,
in Mercer couMy, Ohio, wi.ich to this day is a
dourifchitm institution. The young clergyman
was next encaged in parochial work, from
which, after live years, he was called to a more
iitticnltrtuty.
In lv Father Joseph, as he was then fa
miliarly known, accot:i-a:siei! Archbishop Pur

whic'i he belonged, and a!so in the capacity of
tbeoiojfian t. the nrehhi-hop.
From lö7 to 17 t at'ier Joseph was ex
clusively occupied in preaching missions
throughout Ohm, Indiana and Kentucky, lie
also held the o!".k-e of cretary aud cousidtor,
in the meantim-, in t! cominuuity of the Pre

every district are Visited once a year and ex
amined by (De or more members of the board.
A printed pamphlet of about one hundred
taies containing a report from all the schools
is annually submitted to the. bishop. This in
known as the dioeeian school report. This
same system was atterward adopted
by the provincial council ot Cincinnati
and by the national council of Bal
timore, and its main features are
established in many dioceses, in the United
States. In IM.j tne right reverend pr-late paid
an o'Kcial vimt to Home. In 1-M Bishop
Jjwenifer eelebr-ited his silver jubilee the
twenty-tifth anniversary ol his ordination to
the priesthood. All the priests of bis docese,
and a number from other parts, gathered in
the cathedral to attend the ceremony. The Kr.
lv. bishop Badem acher of Nashville preached
on the occasion.
In Novesnbr and December, 184, the bishop
attended the third national counoil of Balti

llarch, of the foLowing year, he left for Home
In tbe intersst of tbe late Baltimore eouncil. as
the representative of tbe American hierarchy.
The bishop spent seven months in the Kternal
city. To his indefatigable labors, and to his
knowledge of afiairs pertaining to the church
in America, are due to a great extent, the sane
tion ot tbe eollege of cardinals and tbe appro
bation of the pope, of the deliberations of the
lastcooncil of Baltimore. During his stay in
Home the bishop was the guest of the North
American college. The 4th ef July was at
band. The president of the college being ab
sent and the officers next in order being some
what timid about hoisting the America co ors
in such close proximity to the tuiriual psltee,
almost in sight of King Humbert's dwelling.
But the bishop came to the fere, and as an
American citi7an, commanded the flag to be
. sent to the top of the stall, amid the joy and
patriotic exuberance of all students, who,
thonh beneath Italian skies, never forget their
native America, nor allow an occasion to pass
: without singing the praises of fair Columbia's
bores.
In 166 Bishop Dwenger carrie 1 oat a long
cherished plau of erecting a suitable home for
orphan giris. The asylum was built on a
iweat-fi ve acre plat of ground within the limits
l
of the city of Fort Wayne. The building is a
credit to the eity and a monument to the gen.
rosity ot its founder and supporters. Bishop
Dwenger again went to Furope in September,
18S8, on an official visit and was In consultation
with the cardinal and also had private audi
ence with Leo XIII.
The diocese over which Bishop Dwenger pre
sided comprised about one-half of the state of
Indiana, beiug the northern portion of forty
four counties. There are in this diocese 120
priests, 130 churohes and twenty ehaoels, one
university, sixty-bve schools and about 9,000
pupils; orphan asylums two, and hospitals five.
During his administration as bishop Mon
S'gnor Dwenirer conferred the order of priest
hood upon many young men. He traveled
over his entire diocese as a rale once in every
two years, sometimes oftener, either to admin
ister confirmation and preach, to dedicate a
church or perforin some other episcopal func
tion. VAN DYKE ON THE BIBLE.
He Sees Danger in Pushing the Hriggs
Case Ahead.
New York, Jan. 22. The Rev. Dr.
Henry Van Dvke, pastor of the Brick
Presbyterian church at Fiflh-ave. and
Thirty-seventh-et., told hia congregation
today that if the theory of
the original scriptures was to be
set up as a test of Iiis orthodoxy he would
be driven from the presbyterian church.
Dr. Van Dyke's note of warning was
uttered in unmistakable language, and he
Eointed out the dangers ahead, if the
riggs case was to be pushed to the end.
He said in substance r
This whole controversy is net a question
about the bible as it is and has nothing to do
with tbe infallibility of the soripturea. It is
simply a question about the differ
ence between the bible as it is
and the bible as it was in the original
manuseripts. This is the real theory ot the
inerraney of the original manuscript and of
the holy scriptures as they now exist. This
part eular theory proposes to divide the
ebureh. There are some things on whioh we
had all agreed so far as dootrines are con
cerned. 1. We all agreed that the bible as it Is con
tains some of the handiwork of man and also
some of the inbreathing of the Lord.
2. We are agreed that all the discrepancies
In the bible are amazingly few and small and
unimportant.
3. We are all agreed that tbe advanee of
medern scholarship tends to remove the dis
crepancies of the bible. The theory of inerraney
of the original mauuseripts is not susoeptible
of proof. Theory moves entirely in the region
of specolttion. No living man has seen the
original manuscripts, and there is no authentic
description of them. We ought not to .low
this theory to become a test of our orthodoxy.
It is unconstitutional and was never enforced
as a condition of our entrance iota the church
and ministry. To enoroe it now would be il
legal. For these reasons I will have nothing to do
with tbe theory of the inerraney of the original
bible manuseripts. I neither athrm it or deny
it. This theory may be true or it may be purely
imaginary. I am pertectiy content in my ignor
ance on the subject aud propose to main
tain it. The bible, as it is, is
good enough for me. I, for one, mesa to hold
fast to tbe book as it is, and if 1 am driven
from the pre.byUrian church because I know
nothing of the original manuscripts it will be
tay comfort, and will he p me in preaching the
gospel in the wide field ot Christian work. It is
our first du'y not to withdraw from the presby
tery. It would be hke abandoning a sh;p in
stormy weather. Our consciences demand that
we uphold our convictions. It is our duty to
study, to be quiet and mind our own business.
Let ns mildly but firmly oppose every attempt
to enforce the theory of inerrancy as the new
test of our orthodoxy or to disturb the liberties
we now enjoy.
DINNER TO SATOLLI.
Given by Bishop Keane Dr. Fdward
McGlynn n Guest.
Washington-. Jan. 22. Bishop Keane,
rector of the catholic university here,
where Mgr. Fatolli's permanent head
quar era are estab isbed, gave a special
tlium r todav in honor of the designation
of Mgr. Satolli a9 permanent a post oh del
egate to the I'nited States. The gUeHt in
cluded Dr. McGivnn a d his friend,
Bishop Moore of St. Augustine, Fla,, and
the faculty of the university. Dr. Mc
(i ynn was present in reap nee to an in
vitation addressed to him by Mr. Satoili
two days after his reinstatement to the
priesthood. To that invitation lr. Mt
(fiynn replied that he was expecting hh
friend Bichop Moore from Florida, ami if
Mgr. Sat. lh had no objection he would
like to bring Iiis friend with him. The re
sponse was a cordial invitation to Binhop
Moore, who arrived with Father McGlynu
v eterday and will leave with him for
Florida tomorrow, where Father McCilynn
will pass thu vtiuttr. The npeeches at the
dinner, which were ali delivered in the
Latin tongin. were both animated ami in
teresting. Bishop Ke ine, epeakinir of the
BDoatolic delegate's tnisrtiou to the United
State, sai i in eubst ince:
I was recently asked if I couli illustrate, by
comparison, the rein tion of tais rt)c to the
church in the United S'a'es. I answered that
It seemed to me very similar to the change that
took plnce when a territorial governmeut was
elevated to the dignity of a state government
in any por;in of thi Union. A territory is
governe 1 Lyaburei u;a Ute is governed by
a constitution of its own, similar to that of the
nriifioa! o'oniea. Thus far tbe ehurch in the
United Staus his been in the territorial cate
gory, governed by the holy father, through the
bureau of tne prorai;ritlM. Now it h:s estab
lished in its midst a branch of the holy father's
supreme court. lhi we can take an honest
pride in, the event we honor to J a v. Lon? life,
therefore, tu our greatand beloved holy father,
Io XIII, and long life t his worthy repre
sentative our Jspostolic delegate, Archbishop
SatolU.
Mgr. Satolli, in reply, referred to tbe
pope's love for the American people, in
evidence of which he cited his own ap
pointment ah permanent apnetoiic dele-gate
to this country. H aW thanked Bishop
Keane for having atiorded him the facili
ties to make his residence in the universi
ty, and ppoke in hiph praise of that insti
tution and of the great jrood it would ac
complish. YOUNG LUNING'S CASE.
l'acts Concerning Hi Inaanity To
Wed a Girl In l'ari.
I.onim)N', Jan. 22. The exact facts as to
the sudden mental derangement of John
Laninp, eon of a San Francisco millionaire,
and his subsequent removal from the
yacht A 'ert at N ice to l'ariy, are as follows :
Luningbwgan acting peculiarly when half
way across the Atlantic. He grew rapidly
worse until hia arrival at Nice, where the
friends whom he was entertaining decided
that for his own welfare they ought to
plate him under restraint. They tele
graphed to Charles Beters, formerly
Luning's schoolmate in San Frau
cisco, and now a student of
art in Paris. the details
concerning Luning's condition. Peters,
Frank Unjer and Harry Gilling went to
ice and took Liming back to raria.
They summoned to the hotel Dr. Warren
Bey, an American physician, and nubrte
queatly they called Dr. Charcot. Upon
tha recommendation of both physicians,
Luning was reiioved to a pritate asylum.
Hia friends then cabled to London for an
English physician and this physician wid
bring Liming to London short. v. A dis
patch from Paris says that Luning planned
to marrv in Paris a young woman from
New York, who was there awaiting his
arrival. The dispatch adds that Luning
was a conductor on a New York elevated
railroad when, by hia father's death, he be
came heir to $2,AK),0UU.

AN INTERESTING SESSION.
The Busiest Day S- Far In the I loose Tbe
Mexican Veterans Visit.
The eeseion of the house Thursday was
an interesting one and more work was dis
posed cf than on any previous day. The
morning session was devoted to the re
ports of the committees and a score of un
important and probably some Important
measures were strangled when the re
ports were submitted. The committee on
agriculture showed a disposition to
sit down upon members who
have come to the legislature
with a purpose to amend tbe dog laws. A
half dozen bills relating to canines have
been introduced since the opening of the
session. Four of them were reported
back by the committee unfavorably yes
terday and their chances of passing were
nipped early.
By a bill parsed under a suspension of
the rules, Indianapolis is empowered to
raie $75,000 by levying a email tax to a Pr
eist in defraying the expenses ot the next
national encampment. The measure
was presented by Mr. Johnson of Marion
aud there were but two votes against it
becoming a law. There was, however,
pome opposition shown to an appropria
tion being made by the state for the same
purpoe, but it is believed that the oppo
sition will not prove serious.
The feature of the afternoon session
was the visit of the Mexican veterans to
the house. There was a great crowd
of spectators in the gallery and
on the floor below when the visit was
made. Gen. Mali ou D. Mansoo was at
the head of the body as they entered tbe
h dl, escorted by a committee of the
house. There are not many of them any
more. For twenty years it has been their
custom to visit the sessions of the general
assembly and each succeeding vis t has
witnessed a decrease in their numbers.
Those who attended yesterday's session
were gray and bent in form and it ia
very probable that many of them will not
be on earth two years from now. When
they entered the hail the members showed
their appreciation of the honor of the visit
by greeting them with applause. The
holism took a etiort recess in their honor.
In the interim Gen. Manson, ex-Speaker
Xiblack and Speaker Curtis made brief
addresses. Gen. Manson ended his by
hoping the members of the general assem
bly would deal kindly with the G. A. R.
encampment which is to be held here the
coming fall.
Late in the afternoon the house almost
unanimously adopted a resolution favor
ing ih ; opening of the world's fair on Sun
days the same as other days of the week.
IN THE SENATE.
üpper House Votes to Keep the Fair Open
on Suiulajn.
The senate adopted a concurrent resolu
tion requesting the Indiana delegation to
vote for the repeal of the Sunday closing
clause of tha world's fair law, by a vote of
27 to 7.
A number of bills of minor importance
were ordered engrossed and then passed.
No other business of importance was
transacted.
After the ueual routine business of the
moriiiug ee.-sion, euch as the rending of
the journal and call of committees for re
port, had been disposed of Senator Stuart's
concurrent resolution against closing
the world's lair on Sunday was called up
for consideration. The resolution in
structed the senators, Turpie and Yoor
hees, and requested the members of the
lower house of congress to vote for a bill
to rep-ai the Sunday closing clause of the
world's fair apDropriation. As anticipated,
it led to a general discussion, which
lasted till noon, wbenit wai adopted, with
only Heven votes against it. showing that
only 16 per ceut. of the people of Indiana
are in favor of Sunday closing to give the
beer gardens of Chicago and the gamblers
of Rohy a ebenes to do a "land otice"
burliness on Sunday.
There was a minority report signed by
Senators Loveland and Ellison recom
mending the rejection of the resolution.
In making this report Mr. Ellwon ex
plained that he had signed the minority
report because congress had settled the
question last summer. and he did not
think it ought to be reopened.
Mr. Love and led the Sunday closing
debate, lie admitted that the press of
the country demanded a Sunday opening,
but be waa one of those old-fashioned
young niwn who believed in perpetuating
the old fashioned American Sabbath. He
did not care what foreigners
had to say about our so-called
narrow-mindedness. The managers
of tbe fair had accepted a bonus from
CO' gress in the shape of souvenir half
dollars, upon the condition that the fair
should be closed on Sunday, and it was
unreasonable for them to demand the re
peal of that law. lie did not want an
anarchistic Sunday. He thought tha
opening of the fair on Sunday would be
followed by a revolution like the French
revolution.
A DULL DAY.
Several Committees Absent Prevents a
Quorum in the Senate.
There was not a full attendance of the
senate Friday. The prison committee
was at Michigan City and the committee
on benevolent institutions spent the day
among the benevolent institutions in this
city. For that reason no bil s were called
up for final passage. The G. A. R bill to
authorize the city of Indianapolis to levy
a tax to entertain the encampment wou d
have been called up had there been a con
stitutional majority present.
Tbe action of the senate Friday shows
that there is a disposition to remedy the
defects in the fee and salary law of lftlil.
The proposition to appoint a roving com
mission to examine into the question of
fees and salaries did not meet with much
upport.
THE LOWER HOUSE.
Monument Figures Crente Some Discussion
New Bills Introduced.
The house of representative was a lively
body Friday. From early in the morn
ing until late in the afternoon the pro
ceedings were interrupted every few min
utes with a motion from some member to
adjourn. The motions mostly came from
members who desired to spend Sunday at
their homes. During the day motions to
adjourn were voted down a dozen or more
times, but late in the afternoon they came
in such rapid succession end caused eo
much turbulence that it was almost im
poasible to transact business and an ad
journment was forced until 11 o'clock
Monday morning.

few bills were introduced. Among the
latter was one by Mr. Hord of
Marion county which ia an
important one in view of ths legislation
that is being asked in behalf of organized
labor. Mr. fiord's bill ia for the protec
tion of the non union labor, making it un
lawful for an employer to disc ha rue a man
because he is not a member of a labor
union. A bill has already been intro-
itnrRil makincr it nnlawfnl for an tnnliixap
to discharge an employe on account of
his belonging to a labor organization.
The house showed a disposition yester
day to sit down upon the miscellaneous
and reckless appropriation of the state's
funds, by killing a bill for the appropria
tion of money to the Gettysburg battle
memorial association.
When the house was convened Fri
day morning Mr. Barnes of Jennings of
fered his resolution indorsing the action
of the monument commission in relation
to dates on the monument. It was re
ferred to the monument committee.
Mr. Thornton moved that when the
house adjourned it be until Monday at 11
o'clock. LoL
A number ot members were granted
leaven of absence. Mr. Ader finally ob
jected to the house granting any
more leaves of absence, and thought
the house should be in session Saturday
and at work. Mr. Barnes also stated ob
jections to granting any more members
the privilege of being absent.
Mr. Buugher of Marshall offered the
following resolution providing for a joint
committee of five to investigate tbe
charges against the monument commis
sioners :
Whereas, Charges have been made by the

charged uuion soldiers and sailors, with over

IN THE INTEREST OF REFORM.
A Redaction of Eleven Judges tn Be Made
by the General Assembly.
The special committee composed of
Senators Stuart of Marion, Wray of Shel
by and McCutcheon of Yanderburg, to
report a new apportionment of judicial
di-tricts with a view of economy, ha
agreed upon a bill which will be reported
Monday. The report will be unanimous,
there being no politics in the measure,
but it will save annua. ly to the tax
payers $100,000 in the way of
salaries and court expenses. The
bill reduces the number of judges itom
fifty-five to forty-four and, of course, the
prosecuueg attorneys are affected in the
same way. The judges are paid by tbe state
$-'..: 0 each. niaKinga saving in the sal
! aries of he useless eleven judzes dropped
I ot! S-7.500 a year. The prosecuting at
torn s also receive S5i) from the state,
and by dropping o eleven of them the
täte will save Sö.'OO more, or a total sav
ing of $33,000 iu salaries alone to the state.
But this ia not all. in email counties
ike Hancock and Henry, where each
!im a judge. the court must
ireg cases along to make ap
pearance of business, whereas if
tvo or more sucti counties were joined
the court would hurry up and clear the
docket in a very short time. This would
ntve thousands of do!' are on jurors, per
die-n and other court expenses. As an il-
lustration of how the present system
works the two circuits, the Forty-fourth
Thirty-second, are c ted. Tbe
Forty-fourth circuit is composed of the
counties of Starke and Pti aski, two small
counties with a combined poou ation of
10.572. There is no manufacturing, no
iaru cities and no corporations, and
much ot the territory is included in the
Kankakee regions. Yet these two counties
have a judge and prosecuting attorney
wnich coHt the state $ J.000 a year. Well
informed lawyers say tnat ad the business
in ts.oie two counties could be transacted
1 tnre weeks.
The judge can devote
I the remainder of his lime to fishing in the
Kankakee.
The Thirty-second circuit is composed
of St. Joseph and Laporte, two large popo
loua counties of 7ii X7 inhabitants. In
the county of I.aporte there are
two cities, Laporte and Michigan
City, which latter city hs a har
bor and state prison. Discharged
convicts and sailors give 'he courts con
siderable criminal work. There ar more
railroads in Laporte than in any other
county in the state and numerous corpor
ations exist. In St Jocepu there is the
city of South Bend, fuli of corporations,
with some of the largest manufacturing
establishment in the state. There is
also tbe city of Mishawalcee full of fhops.
Jufge Noyes has been judge in thu circuit
for twelve years. His deckel is always up
to time. And yet he eaya that he
always finds plenty of time to
go fishing and would not have
l is circuit reduced because he thinksit
wou'd cause him to become lazy. Yet
Henry, Hendricks, Hancock, and many
othrr counties have judges of their own
counties without lare cities or corpor
ations, with few railroads.
The new circuits will be composed as
follows:
Lake and Porter.
Laporte and St. Joseph.
Marshall, Starke and Pulaski
Ekhart and Lagracge.
Steuben and Dekalb.
Noble and Whitley.
Benton. Newton and Jasper.
Fulton and Miami.
