The requests of the dissenting faction are taken up consecutively and disposed of according to the rules of the diocese. The message goes on to say that special rules for the guidance of St. Stanislaus parish cannot be made, but that the rules governing all the churches in tha diocese must prevail here. It is a practical knockout for the dissenting faction. The only suspicion of acceding to their áemands is where the bishop says the flnance books and accounts of the church must be examined each year by two experts not taken from the church committee, but he leaves the selection of the experts to the priest and himself, and the priest is not expected to go into the ramp of the enemy after the experts. There is great rejoicing among the Bogacki Fide of the church. The bishop's decisión was received with yells of approval. TOO MUCH OF AN ALGER MAN.
