             entire satisfaction to everybody this year.  St. Patrick's 
             especially is doing wonders.  The teaching Brothers are each paid 
             $200.  They have just rented a house for themselves for five years 
             near the church, with the view of having it serve as a residence 
             for all the teaching Brothers of Chicago.  Besides, the 
             Congregation has a large German parish connected with the 
             University.  It counts from three to four thousand souls, and

             University.
