Edes, Ella:
Rome, Italy
to Father (Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Edes will send Hudson a facsimile of the chains of St. Peter and St. Paul. Did Hudson meet Father Carberry, O.P., when he visited America with the Dominican General? Hudson no doubt has seen the papal telegram to Washington and the reply. Protestant newspapers went so far as to declare that the Catholic Church was anti-republic. Edes told the editor of the Observatore Romano and prevailed upon him to tell (Louis) Cardinal Jacobini the mistake they had made. (Giacomo) Cardinal Antonelli would never have made such a slip but here America is of no account. An American prelate told Edes that the Holy Father Leo XIII asked him if the United States were not the same as Mexico. The demise of the Aurora Created no tears since it never had the Pope's approval. The report in the Pilot, the Union and other Irish Catholic newspapers of America, that the fall of the Aurora was due to English influence in Rome, is false. According to Archbishop (Alessander) Franchi the cause of these reports is a Florentine priest named Mori, who was deprived of his faculties and had difficulties with the Archbishop of Florence, which precludes his return there. The first error of the Aurora was giving a detailed account of the Monaco marriage dissolution, which caused a remonstrance from the representative of this principality near the Holy See. Articles on Belgium and France resulted in the Aurora losing numerous subscribers. For a time nothing officials save Encyclicals appeared in its columns and for the last three months Mori was editor. Mori and Cimarra, a nephew of (Louis) Cardinal Jacobini, proposed starting a new Catholic newspaper, but neither Pope Leo XIII or Jacobini would put up the money, so Mori according to the Catholic Review has arrived in America to solicit funds. The Rome correspondent of the Pilot has been made a tool of his to spread the tale that the Aurora failed because of English influence, a lie invented to gain the support of the Irish element in Ireland, England and America in behalf of the defunct paper's editor. Edes warns Hudson of Mori's wickedness.

Egan was greatly pleased over Hudson's compliment on his article about the cost of churches. No doubt Hudson thinks Egan sometimes indiscreet, but hopes Hudson does not attribute this to (James) McMaster's influence. The freedom Egan has in writing the editorials of the (New York) Freeman's (-Journal) make him inclined to call a spade a spade. On the (Catholic) Review, Egan had to be toned down because Patrick V. Hickey left so much to his discretion. Any criticism from Hudson will be handled reverently. The Freeman's list and advertising is increasing and Egan feels he is beginning to realize his powers.

Searcher for Consistency, A
New York, (New York)
to (James Alphonsus McMaster):
(New York, New York)
The author of the letter is a Staunch, though not a bigoted Protestant. He hopes McMaster will answer his questions since his Catholic friends have been unable to do so. He believes he has detected an inconsistency between the published laws of the clerical authorities and the actions of these authorities. The Church is supposed to solennly Condemn mixed marriages and to detest and forbid them except for very grave reasons. When this happens the Church gives no nuptual blessings, no Mass, and the Ceremony cannot be within a Catholic Church. The author asks why many such mixed marriages are performed and publicized when there seems to be no grave reason for them. In the past few days he has seen a case wherein almost every rule that is supposed to govern all religious bodies, Catholics, Protestants, and Jews has been broken. The Parties were not residents of the parish, one of them was under age, no consent or knowledge of the parents was shown, no bans were publicized. No use was made of the Church building, but even this rule was publicly treated with contempt by a Catholic Bishop in Virginia who performed a mixed marriage in the Cathedral with great pomp and ceremony. He takes it for granted that McMaster has some explanation for these actions which his Roman Catholic friends do not enjoy.

The clergy of Chicago had a fine opinion of Howe and certain things would have not caused more than a ripple but for (Eliza Allen) Starr. It was a bitter pill for Starr to see Howe approaching her standard. Starr's deafness and her inability to enter into general conversation keeps her from knowing much about Howe. Mother is not too tired and very cheerful.

Semple, Henry C.:
Montgomery, Ala(bama)
to James A(lphonsus) McMaster:
New York, (New York)
Semple knows some facts which should be known in Rome, and in case they are already known his letter will still do no harm. Bishop (John) Quinlan, (of Mobile, Alabama) has confined himself to a little place on the Bay near Mobile and has not been to his Cathedral Church since Easter. Sometimes he refused to see anyone for days at a time and lets the most urgent business lay for weeks without action. Someone should be appointed by the Church to take care of his person and estate. Semple does not know the facts but suspects that Quinlan indulgences too much in drink. The present state of affairs is undoubtedly caused by indulgence in that practice. McMaster has probably heard of the contemplated proposal to retire Quinlan by appointing a Coadjutor with the right of sucedssion. Bishop (Dominic) Manucy of Brownsville, (Texas) was agreed upon but Quinlan finally refused to give his consent after first giving verbal agreement to the proposal. The Council of Bishops at (New Orleans) had recommended Manuey for the post in Galveston, (Texas) but this did not please the Sacred College. Other names propounded did not come from Quinlan but from a priest of the diocese of (Mobile). Manuey was Semple's parish parish priest for many years and is a man of fine talent, sanctity, zeal, and charity but he has infirmaties of temper which make him ridiculous sometimes. It would be an error to say that Manuey should not be appointed merely for this reason since his priests are very striking and will vouch for his worth. Semple has nothing to do with the Galveston Diocese but thinks that if Quinlan were honorably retired and Manuey appointed the diocese would be regularly governed, proper discipline would be kept up among the clergy and there would be a new state of affairs for the Church in Ala(bama). This letter has not been written in the interests of Manucy but because of the diocese of Mobile. Some priests are a scandal because of their intemperance and their conduct in public, and other indecent irregularities. The Holy Father should know how badly this diocese is administered so that he can suggest a remedy. Semple is desirous of having true piety and regularity among the priests of the Church and writes to McMaster knowing that he holds the same desires. He is told that McMaster never answers letters but asks him to depart from this rule to send him some sort of notice that he has received the letter by mailing the self-addressed envelope he encloses.

Several fortuitous circumstances have brought her into contact with a former resident of (Perché's) diocese, Miss Claire Nee.

She set as a condition that (Perché) be given a share of the benefits. (September) 25. Today one of her friends went to the office of the company to get all the necessary information, and Panneau asks (Perché) to assist them by having inserted gratuitously in the Propagateur an announcement making known the economy and advantages of atmospheric gas. She hopes for much from these two matters, the second of which could occupy the ladies.
