Rochester. N. Y., Dec. 30 Foi love
of a woman legally bound to another
Father Charles McNelis, until recent
ly assistant to Father Dunn, rector
of St. Titus' church, in Titusville. Pa.,
has given up a career in the church.
Although locked up on the technical
charge of vagrancy brought to
separate the couple, he maintains that
he will never resume his priestly
functions, will remain a loyal son of
the church, but will marry the woman
as soon as it can be done with the
sanction of the civil authorities.
Father T. A. Hendrick, rector o
St. Bridget 'sChurch, one of the most
prominent Catholic priests of the city,
caused the arrest of Father McNelis.
who has been unable to secure $1,000
bail, and will try habeas corpus pro
ceedings on Monday.
Father McNelis is 28 years old.
with finely chiseled features and a
ruddy complexion. He speaks in a
musical voice, is a fluent, graceful
talker and i.s well dressed. Since
leaving the priesthood he has grown
a mustache of light brown color.
"Yes." said Father McNelis today,
'"there is a woman in the case, if you
would use the term. I would rather be
a lay member of the church than a
priest leading the life of a hypo
crite. "I was born in Philadelphia 2S
years ago. I was educated in the
church schools and received my friest
ly education in Germantown Semi
nary. From boyhood I did not believe
that my vocation was the priesthood,
but my brother and my friends urged
me on.
"Four years ago I was ordained in
Philadelphia and was sent to St.
Titus' Church, in Titusville. to be as
sistant to Father Dunn, also having
charge of small mission work.
"I met Mrs. May Fleming in Titus
ville, Pa. She is a convert to the
church and the wife of James Flem
ing, who is in the oil business. He is
not wealthy, but has a comfortable
home. I met her at the church and
soon came to like her. I visited her
home and we wrote to each other.
"Last April 1 left Titusville quietly
and went to Cleveland. Ohio. A week
later she joined me. and we went to
Elgin. 111.' where I obtained .employ
ment in a publishing house and she
worked in a watch manufactory.
Evenings I taught music. We did not
live as man and wife. Mrs. Fleming
is a good, pure and lovely woman.
Eventually I intend to marry Mrs.
Fleming if she is willing, but it can't
be done now. 1 know marriage to a
divorced woman is self-excommunication
from the church, but the ecclesis
lical law does not. recognize a cin
mai riage.
"While I was a priest 1 struggled
always with myself to honor the garb
and fulfill my duties to the utmost,
and I did so. but at times a terrible
struggle waged within me. I tried to
reconcile myself to the life, but could
not. The sacrifice was too great.
"I am still a Catholic, still a priest.
I give it up of my own free will and
accord. I do not wish to bring any
cisgrace upon the priesthood or upon
the religion, but I believe it nobler to
live as one believes than live against
the dictates of one's conscience."

Almost Unnerved Me
Heart Pains.

Dr.Miles'Heart Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.
"It has been five years since I was cured of
heart trouble by your Heart Cure and1 Nerv
ine, and I am just as sound as a dollar in
that organ today. For several years I had
been suffering with my heart. Breathing
had become short and difficult at times,
short, sharp pains about the heart, sometimes
accompanied with fluttering' would make
me feel faint and languid. 1 he least excite
ment or mental worry would almost unnerve
me. I felt that the trouble was growing
worse all the time, and after trying many
remedies prescribed by physicians without
obtaining relief, I was induced to give your
remedies a trial. I was relieved the second
day, and after taking three or four bottles all
symptoms were removed and have never
showed signs of returning." Rev. Geo. W.
Kiracope, Chincoteague, Va.
There are many symptoms of heart disease,
which so closely resemble those of more com
mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
of heart trouble the stomach, kidneys, liveror
lungs become affected. Again the symptoms
may be those of weakened nerves, as tired
feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is
easily excitable and apt to worry without
cause. If you have the least suspicion that
your heart is weak study your symptoms and
begin the use of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, the
freat heart and blood tonic, without a day's
elay.

Boston Men Plunge Into Icy
Waters and Declare That
the Innovation Has Made
Them Impervious
Boston, Mass., Dec. 30. Open air salt
water bathing, with the thermometer
at zero, is sport engaged in by about
fortyk Bostonians policemen, lawyers
and business men who patronize the
L street bath, in South Boston.
Diving into the cold water through
a hole cut in the ice. running on the
snow and playing handball usually
makes up the program of these men,
who do not know what cold is, al
thoug some of them recently had their
feet frozen whilt taking exercis-3.
One day recently, when the mercury
dropped below zero, six bathers ap
peared for their customary dip. Every
day throughout the cold weather some
of these devotees ride over to South
Boston for a morning bath followed by
half an hour's exercise at handball be
fore dressing. Many of these L street
bathers who follow th-3 sport of out
door bathing the year round owe their
recovery from ill health and complete
physical exhaustion to the sport.
One of the present crowd, an em
ploye at the Hotel Victoria, was told
a year ago by his physician that there
was little or no c'jiance of his recovery
from tuberculosis.
The physician suggested as a final
extreme .measure the open air plunge.
Since a year ago last fall this man has
been taking systematic open air baths,
by means of which he has completely
recovered. Many of these bathers who
brave the winter weather can vouch
for similar stories of poor health re
garding themselves.
But there is not a member of the
crowd, now who does not boast of per
fect health and absolute immunity
from the climatic changes.
Habitues of Boston's winter bathing
beach ta' e their baths under all si'-'s
of condi'!ons. A week ago, dur1'-
heavy snc .v storm, one bather, who ar
rived from Somerville and was unable
to get into the bath-house, undressed
upon the bath-ouse steps, took his
bath and run, dressed again and went
home, without giving the inconven
ience of having to dress in the snow
storm a second thought.
'SHE IS AFTER ME."
Contractor Who Says Bride Hypno
tized Him Twice Tries Suicide.
Greenville, 111., Dec. 30 "She is
after me," was the burden of the talk
today of John H. Demaree, the con
tractor, who declares that his pretty
bride hypnotized him into marrying
her. He wired his wife at Rushville,
asking when to expect her home. She
replied she would be home tomorrow.
Demaree then tried to borrow a re
volver. Failing, he locked himself in
the barn and took poison. Neighbors
broke in and physicians saved his life.
Then he drew forth a razor, but Sheriff
Demaree says he has more poison hid
den away and will use it. Several men
are guarding him tonight.
TRIED TO CONCEAL IT.
It's the old story of "murder will
out," only in this case there's no crime.
A woman feels run down, has back
ache or dyspepsia and thinks it's
nothing and tries to hide it until she
finally breaks down. Don't deceive
yourself. Take Electric Bitters at
once. It has a reputation for curing
Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles

will quickly yield to the curative

TWO BRIDES INSTEAD OF NONE.
Mr. Cheney, Sent To Stop Brother's
Wedding, Weds Himself.
Hartford, Conn., Dec. 30. Members
of the Cheney family, which con
stitutes the well-known colony of silk
manufacturers at South Manchester,
greeted last night two young scions
who brought with them brides from
Los Alamos, Cal., as the sequel to a
romance.
Recently the family learned that
Seth Leslie Cheney, son of Col. Frank
Cheney, who is a well-known figure in
Connecticut politics, was about to
marry Miss Katharine Bell, daughter
of John S. Bell, head of a Roman
Catholic family at Los Alamos which
traces its ancestry back to the Az
tecs, with a touch of Spanish blood.
Opposition was immediate, and
Charles Cheney, his brother, was sent
to Los Alamos to prevent the match
if possible.
Upon arriving there Charles was in
troduced to the Bell family and was
soon on friendly terms with its mem
bers, despite his errand.
One afternoon he and Miss Mary
Bell, a sister of the girl his brother
desired to marry, went for a horse
back l'ide, and Miss Bell was thrown
from her mount and stunned. The
gallant young man from Connecticut
bore her in his arms to a place
where her slight injuries could re
ceive attention, and promptly fell in
love with her.
The result was a double wedding,
and now both brothers are bringing
their brides home.'
The young women are described aa
beautiful and accomplished, and it is
thought there will be no difficulty in
arranging a reconciliation, despite the
sudden shock which the family re
ceived after its attempt to prevent
Leslie's marriage.

RATS TRAINED

Boy Teaches His Rodent Cap

And Also to Fight Sham

Lake Hopatocong. N. J., Dec. 30.
William D. Crawford, 15 years old.
living near here, has a band of re
markable rats, which he has trained
after six months of hard work.
The first rat was captured in a
cage. It was trained after a week of
patient work so that it would eat
from the boy's hand. The rat. which
was named Ccipio, was then released
with a small bell around its neck; on
the chance that it would return. ;
For 10 days the family heard the
bell jingling among the rafters. Thou
Scipio returned with three other rats,
who had presumably been persuadea
after listening to the arguments of
the former captive. After running
about for three hours they finally ate
food from the boy's hand, under the
leadership of Scipio. The work cf
training then began.
The other rats were then named
Bismarck. Gladstone and Li Hung
Chang. Each has an apartment in a
cage. At the boy's call each rat will
respond to his. name, coming fortii
from the cage with a flag of the na
tion represented. They form in line
and go through military evolutions in
sharp time. Then a battle follows.
Each rat is armed with a stick, and
at the command of Scipio, who acts
as referee, they fight sham battles.
Bismarck first engages Gladstone,
until the latter receives a thump on
the head and falls as if dead. The
Scipio battles with Li Hung Chang
until the latter runs.

MISS JULIE OPP MARRIES.
She Eecomes the Bride of William
Faversham, the Actor.
New York, Dec. 31 William Faver
sham and Miss Julie Opp, both well
known on the stage, made a brief visit
to Greenwich, Conn., yesterday and re
turned man and wife. The decree of
divorce obtained by Mrs. Faversham a
few months ago prohibited the actor
from marrying again in this State.
Mr. Faversham 's new wife is also a
divorcee, her decree being obtained re
cently in England. She was previously
the wife of Robert Lorraine, an Eng
lish actor. Th-3 wedding ceremony was
performed in the law office of Judge
Burnes, at Greenwich. The couple were
accompanied only by the mother of the
bride.
After the wedding Mr. and Mrs. Fav
ersham and Mrs. 6pp. together with
Judge Burnes, returned to this city. A
small dinner party was given here in
honor of the couple.
The present Mrs. Faversham is a
New York girl, born on the East Side.
She failed to attract attention on th3
stage in this city, but was more suc
cessful in London, where she became a
pronounced favorite. She was brought
to New York by Charles Frohman and
placed in Mr. Faversham's company at
the beginning of last season.
She is scheduled to succeed Hilda
Spong in "Imprudence," a play in
which Mr. Faversham is appearing at
the Empire Theatre. The company is
going on the road, but it is said Mr.
Faversham and his wife will remain
trere f0r the winter.
