Jesuits will visit the United States in
August.
Monsignor Capel, the "Catesby' of
Lothian, who is renowned for the great
number of aristocratic converts that he
has led into the Roman Catholic Church,
and for his recent attack upon the Ritu-

think we know some who would esteem
it quite an honor to be numbered among
"aristocratic converts

the Jesuits from European States, and
the consequent contraction Of their fields
for effort in the Old World, may con-
