POLES BESIEGED
CARDINAL GIBBONS
POLICE PROTECTED HIM.
] (I.LOWED BV MOB I\TO PRIEST'S
HOME.
Members of St. Stanislaus’ Catholic
Church Forced Their Way Into
the Rectory, Where the Cardinal
Was Waiting for Anniversary
Service to Begin—Prelate Took
Refuge In a Room Until Police,
With Clubs, Dispersed the Rioters.
From the Baltimore American.
Cardinal Gibbons suffered indignities
at the hands of an impetuous mob of
100 or more, all members of St. Stanis
laus' Polish Catholic Church. Sunday.
His Eminence had accepted an invita
tion to attend the twenty-fifth anniver
sary services of the congregation and
confirm a class of boys and girls.
The Cardinal arrived at the rectory
about £ o’clock, and a few moments
after a crowd began to congregate In
front and an effort was made to enter
the residence.
Rev. Thomas Morys, who was or
dered a few weeks ago by the Cardinal
to resign his charge after causing the
arrest of Father Weizok, a former as
sistant, and charging him with sending
obscene letters thhrough the marfls,
was the pastor of St. Stanislaus’
Church, and many of his parishioners
regretfully saw him leave the parish.
This element has never been recon
ciled, and the culmination of their sen
timent toward the Cardinal In causing
Father Morys to resign was reached
Sunday.
A member of Father Morys' sympa
thizers rang the bell to the parish
house, and instantly, upon the door be
ing opened, the whole mob endeavor
ed to force their way into the house.
All succeeded in gaining entrance and
•made a rush to secure an audience
with the Cardinal. As soon as the
cause of the commotion was realized
his eminence, accompanied by several
of the priests who had attended the
afternoon services, ascended the stairs
and locked themselves in a room.
The police were notified by telephone,
and a number of the night squad who
had arrived at the station were im
mediately dispatched to the scene, un
der the leadership of Round Sergeant
Reifner. Before the arrival of the po
lice the factionlsts had climbed the
steps leading to the room where the
Cardinal had become imprisoned. The
plate glass in the front doors was
smashed, and the factlonists, it is said,
declared that they would not allow the
Cardinal to attend the services in the
church unless he promised to allow
Father Morys to return to the parish.
1 )nc of Father Morys' sympathizers
said after the affair that the fac
tionists are determined that Father
Morys shall returned to the charge.
He said that the congregation, know
ing that the Cardinal would be pres
ent at the jubtlee service, decided that
they should get a final answer from
him.
"Our people,” he continued, "forced
their way into the parsonage mainly
to get an audience with the Cardinal.
We are more than anxious to have
Father Morys return, and we thought
this a good cpporunity to endeavor to
h ;ve the Cardinal promise his return.
We were eager to see him, but he was
behind closed doors. We did not mean
to molest him, except to make him
grant us this one promise. And if he
does not allow Father Morys' return
we intend to organize an independent
church. The people did not get angry
until one of the priests addressed
them in an ungentlemanly manner. It
was then that they grew determined
to see the Cardinal.
When the police arrived they found
the house all in turmoil. Round Ser
geant Reifner immediately realized the
nature of the trouble and commanded
the ten men under him to force their
way into the house.
"The crowd was simply crazy,” said
the round sergeant, "and became quite
indignant when we ordered them from
the house. After all had entered the
house the outside door was locked be
hind them. Father Dulski, one of the
priests in the room with the Cardinal,
yelled to us from the second-story win
dow, saying that the Cardinal was be
ing mobbed. He threw a key to me and
it was with difficulty that my men
managed to force open the door.
"-‘-bout fifteen women and 100
men had crowded into the house and
ull grew angry when we started to
force our wav among them. But we
showed them that they must vacate
the house, and it was not long before
the place was clear. A patrolman and
myself then went to the room on the
second floor where the Cardinal had
been locked in. and we found him
somewhat nervous. He declared that
he would not attend the services In the
church, and then we escorted him to
his carriage, he saying that he was
going to his own home. A crowd gath
ered in the street, but we kept them
hack from the pavement.”
It had been announced earlier In the
week that Cardinal Gibbons would offi
ciate at one of the services and had
consented to be present at the ves
pers. The storm, however, caused him
to postpone his attendance until at
bight. A fairly good crowd attended
the vespers, but at night the church
was filled to overflowing. A class of
boys and girls were to have been con
firmed. but were not because of the
Cardinal’s nonappearance.
Father Barabasz, pastor of Holy
Rosary Church, the adjoining parish
to that of St. Stanislaus, attempted to
•nter St. Stanislaus Church rectory to
ttle Cardinal, but was not allow
ea by the crowd to do so.
A sympathiser with Father Morys
"ala that Father Barabasz was
threatened by the facttonlsts, who told
8° away or he would receive
bodily harm.

ANOTHER “DON’T” IN
TREATING A COLD.
This One Comes from n Xnturopatli
Standpoint.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 14.—Editor
Morning News: I would like
to add one more “don’t” to the
list published in Sunday's edition
for treating a cold. “Don't take any
medicine of any kind.”
From a Naturopath standpoint, a
told operates for the benefit of the In
dividual having it—that is, it elimi
nates impurities, and consequently pu
rifies the system. By taking drugs, you
>nly suppress the impurities, which
the body is endeavoring to throw oft,
rendering the patient liable to an at
tack of either pneumonia, bronchitis,
kidney, and a host of other ailments
which humanity is heir to. You can
not cure a cold by drugging, and
thereby suppressing it, any more than
you can cure measles, smallpox or
scarlet fever by suppressing it.
The cause of colds Is due to our so
called civilized manner of living; for in
wild animal life we never hear of any
colds, consumption, or any other con
tageous diseases, and wild animals
have neither heated homes, cooked
foods, doctors or drug stores.
When the system becomes loaded
with impurities, due to improper eat
ing, drinking and sleeping, it makes
a strenuous effort to throw It out.
This is, of course, more noticeable in
cold weather because cold Itself is a
powerful disinfectant, and acts in har
mony with nature in purifying the
system. This effort produces what
we call a “cold.” There Is only one
way to cure it. Abstain entirely from
food of any kind, for one or two days;
drink copiously of pure cool water
(not iced), remain as much as possi
ble in the open air, or in a well-ven
tilated room. When you eat your
breakfast on the second on third day,
your cold is only a memory, and you
feel in a better condition than you
have in a long time before.
Whenever I have a cold, which is
very rare indeed, one day's fast puts
me in perfect condition. I have known
of a severe attack of grippe cured en
tirely by a four days’ fast, the patient
remaining in a well ventilated room
during*the time, confined to the bed.
The patient was up on the fifth day,
and ate the first food, and in a few
days was entirely recovered. The chief
cause of colds is sleeping in badly ven
tilated rooms, or rooms not ventilated
at. all.
Air is' the most important of all ele
ments necessary for sustaining human
life. Instances are on record where
men have fasted sixty days, while
forty days’ fasts are common. There
are also Instances where men have
lived a, week without water, but no
one, no matter how robust, could live
five minutes without a fresh supply of
air. Notwithstanding this fact, there
are thousands, and millions of people
who make every possible effort to ex
clude this pure, life giving element
from their dwellings, as though it were
some fearful poison. I have four win
dows in my sleeping room, and winter
and summer, except during a beating
rain, those windows are as wide open
as I can get them; two from the top
and two from the bottom, and with the

bed between, where the drafts can play
on me to their heart's content.
Drafts are a delusion and a snare,
any way. so far as being injurious to
any one. for if I get overheated by ex
ercise or otherwise, I generally seek a
draft in order to cool off, thus defying
the old-time superstition that a draft
is a deadly thing. There is no royal
road to health through a drug store.
If you wish to keep well, you must
live temperately and simply, avoiding
stimulants and narcotics of all kinds.
Good Health.

CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS’ HOM
Pray, permit me, as librarian of the
home provided through the generous
impulses of our good citizens, warmly
seconded by the noble Daughters of
the Confederacy, and sustained by the
liberality of our mother Georgia, to
call the attention of our friends to
the need of entertaining and instruc

When the original building was
burned a fair library of standard
works was entirely destroyed. We are
now seeking to replace these lost treas
ures of literature and respectfully ask
our friends for such contributions as
they may see proper to make. Espe
cially would we suggest such works
as the Waverly novels of Sir Walter
Scott, Charles Dickens, Thackeray and
Gilmore Sims, histories of England,
France and Germany, of the United
States and of Georgia; biographies or
Napoleon, Wellington, Lord Nelson,
Frederick the Great; In fact, Just such
works as It may be convenient for you
to donate. Through the kindness of
contributors we are fully supplied with
magazines and periodical literature.
Be assured your kindness In this
matter will be properly recognized and
highly appreciated by the veterans of
the Soldiers’ Home, who I have the
honor to represent. Very respectfully,
