H. W. ALLEN CO. i a) EMS Had Made Charges of Favoritism Aa air His Bishop Defies the Order. Chicago, Oct.

27. Father Jeremiah Crowley, late pastor of St. Mary's church at Oregon, I1L, has been excommunicated by Archbishop Feehan of the Chicago diocese. The edict of excommunication which was made public to-day says: 'He cannot be present or assist at any of the public exercises or offices of religion in the Roman Catholic church, nor can he be present at any mass, vespers or any other public services in the Roman Catholic church." The order of dismissal was the result of attacks made by Father Crowley upon fellow pastors of the Catholic faith and charges of favoritism, fraud and cruelty which he made at the time Father Mul-doon was consecrated as auxiliary bishop of the Chicago diocese. Father Crowley was warned repeatedly to desist, but finally Archbishop Feehan lost patience and compelled him to resign his pastorate.

An hour later Father Crowley withdrew the resignation, but it had already been accepted by Chancellor Barry and it was made absolute. Then Father Crowley started legal proceedings to keep his successor out of the pastorate and renewed his attacks on Bishop Muldeon. A week ago Cardinal Martinelll. the papal delegate at Washington, came to Chicago and took bial action. He gave Father Crowley a choice of: two things to make humble penance and accept without a protest a life within tfce confines of a monastery or be dismissed forever from the rights and priv--ges of the Catholic church.

Father Crowley was given until 6 o'clock (Saturday l.iiiht to decide, and as nothing was hjefird from him, an order of excommunication was sent to-day by Archbishop Feehan to every pastor in the diotese. Father Crowley received a copy of the, order but he bade defiance to it to-day and attended two masses. No effort was made to eject him at either of the churches It is said he will appeal to the Pope. I YALElviAD AT COLUMBIA. Claims Some of the Letter's Team Are Not Bona Fide Students.

New Haven, Oct. 27. I'gly stories re heard about ho game fct tueen Columbia and Yale yesterday, the Yale students claiming that several of the men on the Columbia eleven were not bonaftde students. The Yale foot ball authorities wilt not make any statement to that efCec-t but admit that investigation has been started. The undor-graduates riepiare that there A no game rext year with CoH unibia.

INDIGNANT AT COLUMBIA. Played Nothing But Bona Fide Stu dents Against Yale. Now York; Oct.

27. Columbia's foot bal Mas era and the under-cTaduates generally are indignant over the insinuation made by Yale that Columbia had "ringers" on hep team, even though an hour after the we're made the insinuations were retracted. Prof. George W. Kirchwey of the Colj-umbia faculty comrrittee on athletics when seen in regard to the eligibility of Columbia's gritiiron men said to-day: "The rules of the faculty committee proh vide that no one shall lie allowed to rep resent the university in ary public contest unless he can satisfy the committee that he is, and intends to be throughout the academic year.

a. bonafide member of tht university taking a full year's work "Ho far is the committee has been ablf; to determine, e' ery member of th Col(-unilia 'Varsity foot ball team has fulfilled this requirement. "So far as the foot ball team is conj-cerned, the committee has no reason to believe that any of the men who played against Yale are other than bona fide members of the university." In this connection the Herald will say to-morrow: "It is known, however, that the faculty committeeShas regarded Lancon and Kindi-gen, two members of the foot ball team, with suspicion, however only from thp fact that two or three years ago thesb men played in Athletic club teams. This was considered ground for a rigorous in-vestigation. The men have been befors the faculty daily and cross examined as to the.

motives that prompted their enteH-ing Columbia, Every possible source df infeirmation and every clew has been exl-amlned with the result that nothing detrimental could be found against them."

NO PUBLICITY ALLOWED Prison Officials W1U Not Allow Him Any Notoriety In Death-Will Try to Evade Bequest of Family For the Body All Clothes and Letters to be Burned. Auburn, N. Oct. 27 The time that Leon F. Czolgosz, assassin of President McKinley, has now to live is reckoned by hours, but there has been no relaxation of the stringent rules under which the prisoner has been secluded since his confinement.

Auburn jrison was closed to-day to all who sought the assassin and so it will remain until the prisoner has paid the penalty which the law exacts. In fact, the plan to deprive Czolgosz' living of any notoriety has been extended to deprive Czolgosz dead ol notoriety. Immediately after the execution the clothing of the murdered with the vast accumulation of mail that came to the prison for him will te burned and if possible, the request of the parents of the tlead man for his remains will be evaded. It Is feared that the removal of his Kdy to Cleveland would lead to scenes of an unfortunate nature, and the prison officials are very anxious to avoid anything of the kind. The plan of burning' the clothing and letters of the murdered will prevent the exhibition of relics by those who pander to the morbid.

The hour ot seven on Tuesday morni. is the time set by Warden J. W4rren Mead for the execution. I Various reports changing that time Ihava gone througth Auburn to-day and to-night One rumor places the time at 7 o'clock tomorrow, but that is discredited byi the fact that Supe-rintendent of State prison. Cornelius V.

Collins will not arrive. 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon and jicne of the regularly summoned witnesses t.ave yet reached Auburn. The chair in which Czolgosz will siit to receive the deadly electrical shock i was examined and tested to-day by State Electrician E. F. Davis and is ready for the part that it is to play in the final scene of the great national tragedy.

Davis carefully examined the wiring, switchboard and electrodes and satisfied himself that they were in good condition. He also in-siwcted the elynamos in the prison bh.jp. where the current is generated and at his direction the current was for a brief period sent pulsating into the eleath house, as it will go on Tuesday morning, earning final punishment to the murderer. Electrician Davis will look the apparatus over tgain to-morrow and review with the prison officials the plan under which the sentence of death is to be carried; out. Czolgosz will be the fifty-ninth man in the state and fifteenth at Auburn prison at whose electrocution ha has appied the curren.t The death warrant has not yet been read to the prisoner but it is believed: that It will be to-morrow afternoon.

The general practice is to read this paper Borne time after the commencement of the. period of electrocution designated by the court. That period in this case (commenced at midnight to-night. The lirm purpose of Superintendent Collins and Warden Mead to avoid even the appearance of sensationalism in this case is demonstrated by an incident in connection with on of the principal witnesses. Dr.

Carlos F. McDonald of New York city a former president of the stale lunacy commission is to be the principal attending phsician at the execution. Hej was one of the alienists who examined Czeil-gosz in Buffalo and pronounced the prisoner sane. He has been very anxious to take away with him from the autopsy the assassin's brain for purposes of microscopical examination. A few days ago Dr.

McDonald had a talk with Superintendent Collins and asked him to allow him after the autopsy, to take the brain to New York city for examination. Mr. Collins said to him: "Doctor, I have planned to make1 this execution an example of mystery that will forestall any attempt at sensationalism. I cannot allow anything to go away from tho prison anything that will in any way continue this man's identity or notoriety You may stay at the prison for a week if you will and examine any portion of the anatomy you please, but my present plan is not to allow any portion of the man, his clothing, or even the letters lie received to leave this place." Dr. McDonald replied: "I would like to have taken the brain away but I am frank to say that you are absolutely right in the matter.

If I desire to make an examination I will do it at the prison." The plan of Supt. Collins is heartily acquiesced in by Warden Mead and it understood that an unrepealed law has been found that wiU allow the warden to refuse any request for Czolgosz's body from even his relatives and will give the warden the privilege of disposing of it. In that event, within two hours after execution unless Dr. McDonald cares to make an analysis of the brain. Czolgosz's body, clothes, letters and everything reminiscent of him In the prison will be disposed of; the body ef the assassin will be buried in quick lime and the clothes, letters and packages will be consumed by fire.

And this is not all. Warden Mead, with Superintendent Collins approval, has decided that for the next thirty hours preceding the execution of Czolgosz not one word of his condition or actions shall be given out front the pris- Run Down Then don't expect to be cured in a minute It takes a little time to get your blood pure and rich.

Covers Every Detail of President McKinley's Last Illness. Washington, D. Oct. 27. Dr.

Presley M. Rixey, medical inspector, U. S. has filed with the surgeon-general of the navy his medical and surgical report of tha case of the late President. The cause of death is stated as "gangrene of both walls of stomach and pancreas, following gunshot wounds." The report itself is remarkable for Its; exhibition, in the closest possible detail, of the exact state of the patient during his mortal illness.

It is almost in the shape of a ship's log, showing at inter-; vals of a very few minutes, sometimes a single minute, and rarely more than an hour, the patient's progress toward the end. Perhaps the most valuable data contained, from a medical point of view, is the accurate registering of the medication of the case. Not a single morsel of food, a dose of medicine nor a bath is omitted in this account. Included in the running story, at the internals, are the bulletins that were given to: the public as the case progressed. At 7:40 p.

m. digitalis wasj administer i hypodermioally, and the bulletin at :30 declared that the conditions continued much the same, the President responding welt to medication. He had 15 minutes quiet sleep, whin a saline! enema, with somatose, was administered, part of wh eh was rejected. Then there; was another hypodermic injection of digitalis at 10:40 and, 15 minutes later, of morphine, the patient being very restless. Attached to the report are the results of the autopsies and the Ic he mica I and bacteriological examinations, which hav already been published in the medical journals.

When his death is accomplished Warden Mead will give out a brief statement of the prisoner's last hours, including any confession he may make. The result of the autopsy will also be given out by the warden. At the execution on Tuesday, Dr. Carles P.

McDonald of New York and prison physician Gerin will be the attending physicians and the priests, if any are requested by Czolgosz. will be the two Polish ones that have heretofore visited him. State Comptroller Erastus Knight of Euf-, falo has been asked to be foreman cf the official jury and will be here. 1 he rest of the jury of twelve men is made up of prominent individuals, including some other state offcials. Governor Odell has sent word that he particularly desires that this execution be conducted with as little display or notoriety as possible.

I The orison officials rather anticipate a visit from the aged father of Czolgosz tomorrow. Waldeck Bandowski, brother-in-law of the assassin called et the prison to-day but was Jenied admission. Warden Mead who is ill. was in bed, and the chief keeper wculd not take tne responsibility of admitting him. He will very likely call again to-morrow.

Warden Mead is not seriously ill and he will be up and about to-morrow. It is possible not one of the Pplish priests will vi3it Czolgosz tomorrow, but there is still a question about the final reconciliation of the prisoner with the church in which he wes baptized.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 27. The following is a portion of a call to-night issued, by local breeders: "All those interested in the breeding, training or racing of thoroughbred horse are' requested to meet at the Phoenix ku. tel in this city Tuesday noon for the purpose of taking such action as may be necessary to determine the truth of reports that a pele supposed to mark threo eighths of a mile from the lire, at th?
