Casper P. Elbert from the pastorate of St. Katharine‘s Catholie Church, announced by Cardiral Gibbons last week, there have been rumors as to the reason. Jnvestigation into the cause for the deposition of the priest develops thut he owes about $130,000, exclusive of a church debt of $28,000. n Both leaders in Parliament, the paper adds, are much disturbed by che King donning such a gorgeous garment, and questions to the Ministers are expected. ROOMED IN THE JAIL This "unbeard of gorgeousness" called forth protests from the press, one newsâ€" paper saying that the wearing of colâ€" ored dress coats made an unpleasant impression upon the less wellâ€"toâ€"co classes. _ Dress coats, if worn at all, ought at least to be black. _ Colored dress coats are the invention of the Evil One. An official statement by che cardinal, made through his attorneys, says that very little of this money, so far as can be ascertained, was used for church purâ€" poses. Some of it went to pay premiums on life and accident insurance, of which he had policies amounting to nearly $70,000. The balance went into visionary financial schemes, by which he expected to realize large profits. ‘There is no indication, the statement adds, that the money was spent for any improper purâ€" poses other than as stated.

The consumptive‘s greatest enemy, the house was conspicuous by its alsence; such imperfect substitutes for it as existed, were really so loosely built as to be selfâ€"ventilating and to allow the winds of heaven free access at all bours and seasons, or so uncomfortable and unattractive, that the sufferer could not "den up" in them with any sort of cemfort, and was obliged to turn for enâ€" joyment to the open air in self defense. â€"Dr. Woods Hutchinson in The Outing Magazine for March, Health Resorts. Practically, however, the majority of health resorts will continue to be in southerly latitudes, _ for two reasons: (One, that a healthy, agreeable aponâ€"air life can be led almost anywhere within the temperate _ zone in summer time, Mence the great majority of invalids scarcely think of formally "going away for their health‘ except in the winter time. And, secondly, that when this scasonal limitation, viz., that they must be available in the winter time, has been imposed, those that pmesent the greatest number of inducements to live and sleep in the open air, are those which will give the bost results. We are, however rapâ€" idly widening our range in this particuâ€" lar, as we are finding that, except for the most delicate and sensitive constituâ€" tions, a visit to the woods, to the mounâ€" tains, to the sea coast in winter time, will, for those who have the courage to take it and to expose themselves braveâ€" ly to the weather, be as beneficial as a trip to the blue skies and languorous airs of the South, In fact, in the maâ€" jority of cases, more benefit will be obâ€" tained in a shorter time in one of these Northern resorts than in many Southern ones, Physicians are coming more and more to recommend their healthâ€"seeking petient to the Adirondacks in the winter time, the Canadian Highlands, the Maine woods and lakes, such bracing coast cliâ€" mates as the mountains _ of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, where "the chill is off" the air, but it is still braeâ€" ing and keen. This explains why the frontier has alâ€" ways had a reputation as a health reâ€" sort. Most of us can Ramember how in our younger days health seckers of all sorts, asthmatics, lithemics, and above all, consumptives, were sent out to the hanks of the St. Lawrence, to the virgin forests of Michigan, or to the prairies of Iowa, Minnesota, Dakota, to the Canaâ€" dian Northwest, to the plains of Nebrasâ€" ka, Wyoming, and Kansas, and while accurate data are of course lacking, it would be safe to say that at least 50 per cent, more of these recovered than Child! s "T-K" PTBITM PC _3 mori bogs unchauged at Tuesday‘s lects, fed and watered, §.15 and 4 cars at country polats. a WA c Ooleas: c avan The receiote ef grain toâ€"day WOT M s aic.
