Gmeiner, (Father) John: St. Francis, Wisconsin
 to 
(The Editor of the Freeman's Journal)(New York, New York)

Since the question of freedom of worship in state institutions is being agitated again in New York at present, it might be of interest to know how it has been settled in Wisconsin. There the citizens also had to agitate the question for many years before freedom or worship was granted them in the Waukesha Industrial or Reform School. The constitution of the State, in Art(icle) I, Sect(ion) 18, explicitly grants the right to everyone, but the bigots, pleading that the state institution was non-sectarian, deprived them of freedom of worship for many years. About five years ago, however, the Catholics obtained all they could ask for. A resident priest at the institution could visit sick Catholic boys at any time, and if necessary prepare them for a good death. About once a month, he could hear confessions. But since he also had to care for his own congregation on Sundays, a priest from Milwaukee came once a month, on a Saturday, to hear confessions, give instructions, say Mass, and give Holy Communion on a Sunday morning. It had been argued that if freedom of worship were granted the Catholics, it would interfere with the necessary discipline of the institution. But on the contrary, the influence of Catholic priests over Catholic boys, greatly aided their obedience to superiors, and relations between priests and the officers have been pleasant and cordial. (Father) Gmeiner asks if Democratic New York will deny what Republican Wisconsin has granted.

(McQuaid), Bishop B(ernard J.): Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
 to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan: New York, New York)

McQuaid received Father (Charles E.) McDonnell's letter. In Rome an expression of sympathy with the Holy Father's action in the Cardinal (Joseph) Guibert affair is looked for from all. In this case and in all Pope Leo XIII's doings, McQuaid is in hearty sympathy. (Corrigan) can attach McQuaid's name to the letter. Father (Terence J.?) Early served notification of the three ecclesiastical members of the board of trustees. (McQuaid) probably will not go to New York before Feb. 2. Should Bishop (Richard) Gilmour be at home this week. (McQuaid) will go to Cleveland for two or three days. (McQuaid) wrote a sharp letter to (Ella B.) Edes about the ignoring of the Provincial Council of New York. It is too soon to hear from Rome about the (Father James S.) O'Sullivan case. (McQuaid) has just imported from France a pontifical set of white vestments for Holy Thursday. The expense was amazingly small. If (Corrigan) sees them, he will want them, also, only richer. What will do in Rochester will not suit Fifth Avenue, New York. Saturday, (McQuaid) completed 38 years of priesthood. He has heard stories about Seton Hall's discipline which distress him. He hopes they are exaggerated.

Sist(er) Beatrix asks McMaster to send his paper to them gratis for the benefit of their patients. They have had charge of the hospital since 1884, and the company furnishes reading matter, but nothing good. With good books and good papers they can do great good anomg the railroad patients. Nine young men have been instructed and received into the church by the chaplain (Father Gregory Schlitt, O.S.F.). Their conversion often began with the reading of a Catholic book or paper. During this same time there were some eight or nine Catholics who had not been to confession for twenty or thirty years, and could not be induced to go. It is a great blessing for the Catholics that they got hold of the place. Most of the young railroad men who come from the East have not been to Church since leaving home. When they come (to the Hospital) they go to confession several times before leaving.

Ryder is seriously ill and confined to bed at the Alexian Brothers' Hospital. He is unable to write much. Ryder was gratified at the honor given him in the first issue of the Ave Maria in 1886. The proof reading on the Ave Maria is well done. (Eleanor) Donnelly's sonnet on Father (Edward) Sorin, C.S.C., violates the rules, but is pretty in its ideas. His wife writes from New York that she will pay the Brothers $12 a month on his account. Ryder's only expense is reading matter.

Brent, Emily C.: Washington, D.C.
 to (James F.) Edwards: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

She is very grateful for the gifts Edwards sent her. If it were not for the distance and the cold, she would be tempted to visit the convent attached to Notre Dame. Her life is very lonesome; her two nephews are away from home all day. She intends to room with a widow lady; it will be nearer to St. Peter's where her father was one of the first to take a pew. The Carrolls of Duddington are only remotely related to the Archbishop.

No one with the Baltimore Publishing Co. remembers McEvoy sufficiently to give particulars of him. O'Brien will have the old Mirrors looked over and any information will be sent on. O'Brien knows Father (W.F.) Clarke well because he has been his confessor for a number of years. Also he has known Clarke for more than a quarter of a century.

(McQuaid), Bishop B(ernard) J(oseph): Rochester, N(ew) Y(ork)
 to Archbishop (Michael Augustine Corrigan: New York, New York)

It may be that Father (Terence J.?) Early only meant to frighten them about selling the Cathedral. (McQuaid) does not intend that he be allowed to keep the threat hanging over him. (McQuaid) knew that the Cardinal was careless about the incorporation of churches, but did not suspect the carelessness was as bad as now appears. In Buffalo and Albany dioceses, the same neglect exists. The state law is favorable. In (McQuaid's) diocese, only one little mission is not incorporated. (McQuaid) will bless the Church in the spring, and it will then be incorporated. He intends to pass all over to the diocese for the future diocesan Seminary. He has not heard from Rome on the O'Sullivan matter. Good understanding and a plan ought to precede action about the Albany Agency business. What about the Decrees, etc.? The Rector of the American College ought to be at his post, for prolonged absence will be detrimental. Who showed the Acta, etc. of the Council to Father ( ) O'Reiley for him to communicate to the New York Sun? The London Tablet copied it and made public in Europe what was not known to them. Besides, the Acta are not for publication. Has the Crimmins case been settled?

 to J(ames) F. Edwards: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

They have nothing that can serve for the bishops' gallery. They had a First Communion picture of Mother Agnes Brent, their Foundress and grand-niece of Archbishop (Leonard) Neale (of Baltimore). Edwards might find something at Georgetown, D.C. where Neale lived until his death. Perryville (Barrens) Missouri, might have something of Bishop (Joseph) Rosati, (C.M.) as he was one of the founders of the Lazarist institution (St. Mary's seminary) there.

 to (James Alphonsus McMaster): (New York, New York)

She regrets that his letter was left unanswered longer than she intended, but she had no time. It must have been delayed, since the books he sent reached her before the letter. Many of their letters have been lost lately, so that they can hardly trust the mails. They are snowed up at least two days each week, and both she and the Mother Superior are afraid he did not receive their notes of thanks for the books. She is enjoying the life of the Blessed Virgin. Sister Teresa wrote her a nice letter. She is very happy for Gertrude. The cold has been very severe, it snows almost every day, and they must walk through drifts ten or twelve feet high to Church. She thinks Phoney will some day be a great comfort to him. She encloses a poem which she has written for S(iste)r Gertrude of the Heart of Jesus, on the day of her Holy Profession, Jan(uary) 21, 1886.

Fitzpatrick, (Father) E. J.: (La Crosse, Wisconsin)
 to (James Alphonsus McMaster): (New York, New York)

(Father) Fitzpatrick writes a letter intended for publication entitled "Bismark Ordered". He is able to give some particulars relative to the Order of Knighthood recently conferred upon Count Bismarck by Pope Leo XIII. The "Military Order of Christ" was instituted in 1319 by King Denis, or Dionysius (1281-1325) of Portugal, and approved by Pope John XII, who transferred the eossessions of the suppressed Templars to the new order. The order has since then been granted by the Soverign Pontiffs, and the Kings of Portugal, to any reputably well deserving official of high Station. In this case, Kaiser Wilhelm, in connection with the happy mediation in the "Carolines affair", honored some of the Popes officials, and the Pope merely reciprocated, observing court etiquette. The letter is signed "La Crosse". P.S. Rohrbacher, De Feliar, and others may be consulted in this matter.

(McMaster) D.C. (Sister) Gertrude of the Heart of Jesus: (Baltimore, Maryland)
 to (James Alphonsus McMaster): (New York, New York)

She has been thinking about her greeting "Pater mine", and of how much it signifies. She is sending him the copy of the Profession Song which she promised. She hopes he is keeping well. Mother Prioress thanks him for the onions, but he should not send anymore. S(iste)r Teresa would like some pictures like the one of S(ain)t Raphael that is enclosed. They are called "lace pictures". She would like hers back, because she has had it blessed, but she wants him to keep one of these he gets and have it blessed for himself.

 to (James Alphonsus) McMaster: (New York, New York)

She thanks him for the trouble he has gone to a out their journey. They will leave before (Feb. ?) 15 and perhaps (Feb. ?) 22. The news about S(iste)r Teresa is joyful. She understands S(iste)r Gertrude's feelings. The scrap from the Tablet surprised her but they accept it. She wonders what it will be when the B. and O. gets to Phila(delphia). A friend in Chic(ago?) thinks she can get them reduced rates. (Larginal rate) Sister S(aint) John is well.

 to (James F. Edwards): Notre Dame, Indiana)

Edwards may obtain Bishop (Luke) Concanen,(O.P.) autograph from the Dominican Convent of St. Clement's at Rome; that of Bishop (John) Connelly, (O.P) from the same source; that of Bishops (Joseph) Rosati and (Leo) De Neckere from St. Louis.

He has also a piece of the Old Tower at Newport, (Rhode Island) believed by many to have been erected by the Christian Northmen in the 10th century as a Christian baptistry.

Williams, V(aleria) S.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)
 to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, C.S.C.: (Notre Dame, Indiana)

Williams is sorry to see the bloody shirt waved by a political demogogue in the Ave Maria. The Catholic feature of the article consists simply of mentioning Bishop (John J.) Keane's name. Williams criticizes the article in detail.
