The Post says : Ilu iora of dlsaffectlons In Bishop Mntz' D nve : locese and his consequent resignation havi rought to light a remarkable story vet cc leslastlcal politics Inwhich Father Illordan lastor of , St , Elizabeth's Catholic church o lila city and brother of Archbishop Illordan vas dEprtvcil of the bishopric after he hai icon practically conferred with the honor. The episcopacy In question was the ver ; ne from which Bishop Matz Is shown to be en savoring to resign , and to which It Is pea Ible Father McOuIre of St. James' churcl may ba elevated In the near future. The story goes down , ands \ now for th first time made public , that there were tw andldates for the see In Denver. Thcs vore Father Wallers of Lafayette , Ind. , wh s now dead , and Father Rlordan of this city The latter was the choice of the majority o ho powers of the church , and everythln ; presaged his election. Archbishop Ireland cast his influence wltl Father Ulordan , and made his best efforts t aid In obtaining his. nomination. Ills assist ance was of no small moment , nnct In ttsel would ordinarily assure the choice of an ; nan for the , omce. Father Rlordan , however over , was Intrenched behind Archbishop Ire anil's support alone. He was favored b , Cardinal Gibbons himself. The distinguish prelate , It Is said , did not hesitate to ente he breath and declare himself for * Fathe tlordan. He let It become known that hi support , was with Archbishop Ulordan' irother , and was apparently not unwlllln hat his stand In the matter be broached t hose concerned. When It was learned In this city tha Cardinal Gibbons , Archbishop Ireland an ) tli or dignitaries of the church desired tha father Rlordan bo elected to the Denve diocese It was regarded among Catholics I this city ( who had knowledge of the prom BSD ) that such action would eventually b akon. Indeed , Father Rlordau's friends wer ; rlevlng that ho was to leave Chicago , thotiR .hey were pleased at his advancement t the bishopric. It Is stated on the bes authority that the course of affairs went E ! ar as the Interchange of cablegrams betwee Homo and Chicago. Whether or not Fat he [ Uordan was really appointed and the actto was reconsidered will possibly never ti known. Certain It Is , hoWever , that he wa given the strongest recommendation to th authority In the eternal city. It Is consldere among the best Informed church men hei hat Father Rlordan's1 appointment had bee ; lven papal sanction. The order of procedui n on appointment to a bishopric Is as to ows : Tha candidates are considered by tli suffragans ; the suffragans recommendln ; hree in this crder 1 , dlgnus ; 2 , dlgnloi 3 , dlgnlsmus. From the three name written opposite these degrees of. approb : tlon the pontlflclal powers supposedly choos one for the office. Very frequently , thougl the range of nomination Is not confined to tl : 1st furnished by the suffragans and tt : choice falls upon some one outside of the ; iroposed by the suffragans. It would seei that such was the case > In this Instance , a it Is recalled none of the three men suggeste jy the suffragans was appointed to tli Denver bishopric. When the plans for Father Rlordan's at pbtntment were thought to have bsen consuir mated , and hfs , f Menus' wei'e even ; inreparfh to testify their 'affection , fof hlrn before : 'li departure , there was A ensa'tlan upah"tt announcement , that .another 'had been , name n his stead. This was ' Bishop Matz. IJ had shot over the heads of the suffragar and it la claimed through the "hep ) of tli Jesuits had succeeded In obtaining the nom " nation. - . . That there was great disappointment b < cause Father Rlordan was not given tli vacancy Is not to be doubted. He had gre"a popularity , both hero and In Denver. A the laymen ( and nearly all the prelates ) .1 the west had hoped for his elevation. Natui ally there was some regret at the oiitcomi It is hinted that Iti resulted in dissension I the higher circles bf the church. IIowovoi that may be. It was most assuredly ni conducive to the best interests of the Denve dloceso , as recent events have shown. , Upon Bishop Matz's entrance into tti church direction In the Colorado metropoll there was instituted what might bo termet so It is said , an ecclesiastical boycott. Rtc members of the laity declined to contrlbul to the church funds so liberally as heretofor Finally debts grew and the finances , becam sadly embarrassed. On this account , tli story Is , Bishop Matz resigned this weel But his resignation was dependent upon hi appointment to another see. It Is state that th'a condition cannot be mot , and tin Bishop Matz will bo forced to stay In h1 present place or to resign unconditional ! ; From the terms of the document It is evlder that Bishop Matz wished only to be tram forred from Denver. It also showed thi there were reasons for his dlssatlsfactlc with his cplseopicy. By this strange- and unexplained manlpul : tlon of "church machinery" Father Danl' ' J. Rlordan , ono of the most respected an boat liked of the Catholic clergy In the -wes was deprived of an offlco which ho wotil have Invested with dignity , and which ofllc would have been discharged with the abllll which Is pre-eminently his. Archbishop Ireland was at the Grand Pi cine hotel today , but declined to talk aboi Bishop Matz or Father Rlordan's candtdac for the episcopacy. Ills grace 61 St. Ta\ \ also refused to discuss the recent attac made on him by Bishop McQuald of Rocl ester" .

In a recent number of the Boston Trar script a correspondent directs attention t the fact that school methods and scho < curlcula are still very poorly adjusted t the needsof pupils.

In America hns essayed a grcatpi ouml of parts than Mr. Nat C. Goodwin , urn ils masterly presentation of the various characters assumed stitmpfl him easily the t'prtsenfrillVe comedian of America. From 'I lobbies" to "In Mlzzourn , " la a long dis tance , but every milestone on the way I : rrmrkttl by ona of Mr. Goodwin's triumphs Frqm the farce , tinged with burlesque , Ir which he first wooed public favor ns n star , lie has advanced rapidly , orterlnB something better each year , until hlfl pres ent repertory embraces plays of grenl ntronKth , the presentation of which gives Mr. Goodwin opportunities to demonstrate ils versatility ns nn actor by serious drn- jnutlc work , which serves admirably ns r 'oil to his comedy parts , and bin Jim Rnd < jurn shows that heIs equally at home li the fields of pathos and humor. In "In Mlzzoura" Jim Radburn Is sheriff ol I'lke county , the location \\lilch gives us "Brother Ike- , who has baon Immortalized Ir noiig. He Is ns liruve as a sheriff had tt L O In a country where people who did hoi lock their doors had to keep dogs , but lit liad n tender sx > t In his heart for Kntc Vernon , daughter of the village black smith , and alwayn used to think of her be fore noting while In the discharge of hli duties. On account of this forethought hi always winged his man , and did not shoo1 to kill , because ho "thought maybe Kat ( wouldn't llko It. " Hut ho was a success 01 u winger , nnd tie ma.n ever escaped him bui one. Robert Trnvers , n handsome fellow with city ulrs , dropped down into Pike and won Kate's foolish heart after she hai returned from college , at which Jim hat paid her expenses without her knowledge Jim found out that Kate loved the clt ) chap , and when Trovers was proved to bi n train robber and guilty of a crime foi which the nfllanced lover of Jim's. nlec < had to suffer , his lave for Kate led hln to hli first lapse of duty ns nn ofllcer. Hi round the train robber In Kate's house learned from her the story of her love foi the hunted man , and then let love over power duty. He gave Travers his owr horse with which to make his escape am then resigned na sheriff. The fact becalm known , and the angry populace wnntet Jim's scalp. But Kato came to the rescue told the story of the escape nnd who1 Jim had done for her. The people , touchot by the manliness of the man , changed theli Jeers to oncers , renomlnated Jim for shorifi by acclamation , and the curtain falls will the hero In n fair way to claim his rcwart from the ulil he IOVPS. Mr. Goodwin's portrayal of the part o Jim Rndburn was faultle. s. Sbmo of tin scenes of the play nre Intensely dramatic nnd in them Mr. Goodwin's work was ( revelation pven to his friends , moving hi : audience to tears , only to brush them nwuj with a sudden sweep of hilarity. Ills seem In the Vernou homo when he discovers Travors In a closet and learned the stor ; of Kate's love for him was Immensely dramatic. The play calls for a strong supportlm company , nnd Mr. Goodwin has filled tin requirements most commendably. Mr. Wll Ham Ingersoll as Travers nnd Mr. Clarenci Holt na Joe Vernon are actora of ability and sustained their parts admirably. Mlsi ICstelle Mortimer ns Mra , Vernon playec the part of the overworked , somewha cranky nnd always garrulous MlssoXir workman's wife with a splendid npprecla tlon of the part. Miss Lilla Vane as Kati Vemon met the exalting requirements o her role with exceptional ability. 'Llzabetl Vernon had a lover In Sam Fowler , nil np prentice In Joe Vernon's blacksmith shop who wonted to get a stlddy Job , but coult not get off long enough to look for one The work of Miss Duproo as 'Llzabeth ant Arthur Hoops as Sam Fowler was one o the most enjoyable features of the per formance. Both were droll , and living pic turea were eclipsed by samples of facia contortion ? In the scenca in which Jin Radburn demanded that Vernon allow tin pair to bo married. Miss Dupree'a draw and general tiredness of expression ant movement were emphatically Mlssourlan. Tonight Mr. Goodwin will appear in thi grand double bill of "David Garrlck" am "Lend Me Five Shillings , " closing his pres cnt engagement at Boyd's. Conslderabli interest la manifested among Mr. Goodwin' : admirers In this city to see him enact thi role of David Garrlck , and several thcate parties have been formed to at tend tonight. This Is the most ad vanced step that Mr. Goodwin Irni as Vet taken , and according to the critl ulsma of the leading Chicago papers. I places him securely upon the pedestal o fame. To those who have never had" at opportunity of seeing the play of Davit Garrlck , we will briefly give the outline o the plot , Simon .Ingot's daughter , Aaa has sfccn David.Garrlck playHnmleX ant she Is In'lov6 with the' actor.

During the three- acts Mr. Goodwin Imi ample opportunity of showing his wonderfu versatility. In the first act he appears tin handsome actor In his own natural state In the second act he acts the actor am in a role that almost breaka his heart , foi ho is shattering the ambition of the wormu he adores nnd putting n wide berth be tween himself nnd her. In the third ac he cornea back to his own natural char acter , although he Is moved to tears. Pride grace , abandoned love and hatred nnd thi > li way Into the character.

WEALTH VS COMMONWEALTH. A fkctch of II , I ) . I.ldjil'n lllitorj nf the ( iroulh of tlm ItlclirU of Monnpnllm. Mora than sixty years ago U was known that Illuminating oil ot an excellent quality could bo extracted from bituminous coal , ami In 1860 thcro wer more than three score manufactories tit it In this country. In thai year It was first discovered that vast deposits of rock-oil Ho under Iho soil of Pennsylvania and adjoining states. Throughout wide dis tricts wherein wells were driven the oil flowed llko water. The cost was almost noth ing , and In ten years the native product coultl bo bought In any quantity for 10 cents n barrel. Thousands of men at onco'learnetl the simple business ot distilling It for use , and refineries sprung up everywhere. It seemed that no department ot human activity offered leas encouragement to the spirit of monopoly than the production , re finement and distribution of this natural oil , Yet hardly five years passed after the value of the great discovery became known before n mysterious power was felt to Interfere with the business In every branch , from Iho sinkIng - Ing of now wells to tha final distribution ol oil among consumers. The refiners were the first to suffer. Those who paid the standard prices announced by the railroads for trans portation found themselves undersold. Theli business became unprofitable. Blany were compelled cither to close their works or If sell them at nominal prices to a combination , the only purchaser. This little group of re- flnera , whoso homo was Cleveland , were mas ters of every Importffnt line of railway bj which oil could bo carried from the- wells ti the refineries , and thenca to the severa great markets. They had secret contracts with those roads , entitling them to enormous preferences In rates , and even to o largt bonus out of the higher rates charged tt other shippers , Courts and legislatures , tin men and committees ct congress , were np pealed to. Investigations were held , cvcrj engine which public opinion or the business Interests of the Independent redder coult command was tried In attacking these dls criminations. Bnt the result was every where the samo. The business of refinlnt oil became and remains practically a complete pleto monopoly In the hands of the Standart Oil company. Some of the men who conceived the com blnation In question are now , by virtue o this monopoly which they have organized princes among the millionaires of the world with estates already equal to the proudes dukedom of England , and with Incomes largei than those of many kings. H Is the mag' ' nlflccnco of this success which Impresses tin Imagination of him who reads their exploits which Mr. L'oyd ' chronicles In his " \Vealtl Against Commonwealth , " Just published bj Harper & Urothc-rs. The robber knights o : Europe took their lives In their hands whet they sallied forth In pursuit of plunder , ani deeds of strength and daring , Inspir ing the novelist and the poet , diver : the thoughts of readers from the out rageous wrongs they perpetrated and thi frightful misery they inflicted. In a some what similar manner readers of the story ol the great monopoly may for a tlmo forgel the Injustice and oppression , the defiance ol law , nnd the contempt for the rights whlcli the law Is designed to protect , which hav marked Ha whole career. They may oven , for a time , be st'rred to admiration of the Insonlous devices , the persistent and vigorous pursuit of a fixed policy , the unremitting de votion of a number of conspirators to the Interests of all , which have overcome the ob stacles of law , morality and public opinion , as well ns those of ordinary compel tlon , anil secured to a handful of men the enjoycjnt and profit of one of nature's greatest gifts to mankind almost as conclusively as If 11 were their creation , HINTS TO AN ENGAGED MAN.

Or peril of his happiness he must not be tot attentive fo or lee Interested In other tfdmeri On the oth'er Tian'd'ho must' not trqat his finance with that tender devotion whlcli Is suggestive of Darby and Joan. The modern young woman does not like to be In any way a reminder to the public ol those excellent but somewhat antiquated per sons. It will be well for the man who expect : to sail smoothly Into the matrimonial porl to continue those flattering attentions aftei his engagement which preceded It. It will not suffice1 for him to talk of what he Is saving to make their little home worthy ol her. He.raust by some magic be able botli to smve money for the future and to provide her with flowers , books , bon-bons , theatei tickets and other trifles which ho bestowed upon her when there was no future to b : taken into consideration , Ho must treat her people with deference , cordiality and filial affection. He must let her complain ot all their faults , detail all the family quarrels and point out all the family Imperfections without ever allowing the knowledge he acquires thus to tinge his behavior. He must listen to her abuse ol them with sympathy , and never by any chance show anything but the highest regard for them himself. Ho must like nil her friends. He must treat "tho girls" with the intimacy which never borders on familiarity ; must enjoy their society , which will be thrust upon him at all times and places , and at the same time must be prepared to agree with her estimate of their shortcomings , It will b : just as well for him never to admire them too extravagantly. In public ho must always bo prepared to show her the attentions she ne-cds , but must also be prepared to let her "have a good time , " unhampered by his devotion. For Instance , ho must never let her sit a dance out alone , yet ho must never glower when she seems to be dancing often with othei men. Ills manner must be u perfect ming ling of devotion and noninterference. Incidentally It may be added that an occa sional dose of neglect Is wholesome , and that a semi-occasional quarrel Is not to be despised.
