 Made Public.


 Made Public.
 UTICA, N Y, Nov 17.-Sister Mary Fran cis Clare, ''The Nun of Kenmare, " recently mother superior of the Sisters of Peace, Is now living in retirement in this city, en- gagged in literary work. She has made pub lie her letter of resignation to Pope Leo XIII. The following is an extract from it.
 'HOLY FATHER-It is with great grief and regret that address this letter to your holi- ness. I am obliged to resign into your hands the office to which you were pleased to ap- point me, and to leave to others the work of the Order of Peace, which your holiness has authorized me to establish.
 ''I have not taken this step without long and careful consideration, for I see every day more and -more the necessity of such work as this for working girls They have, indeed, been the support of the Roman Catholic church. and they deserve all that can be done for their comfort and encour- agement, but have found such opposition to the work which I so dearly love, from certain bishops, whose influence is so power full that other bishops do not like to support what they disapprove, even though it has the sanction of your holiness, that I am obliged to retire from it. My health, always deli cate, has given way under the pressure and pain of this discourag agement."
