ST. Mary's Home enjoyed a rare treat, and
one of their happy number was crowned
Queen Of May" The recreation hall was
changed into a fairy dell. SO artistically
was it arranged, IL at on entering one could
not refrain from exclaiming, This in truth

Queen of May, land she sustained her part
with becoming grace. Miss Philomena

CUTTING OFF PETERS PENCE.
Mgr. Persico Blamed for the Pope's At
tack on the Plan of Campaign.

Mgr. Persico Blamed for the Pope's At
tack on the Plan of Campaign.
There is considerable indignation felt
among the members of the American
branch of the Irish National League
in this city over the recent commu-
ncation of the Pope against the 'plan of
campaign" in Ireland, and shere is talk of
getting up an Indignation meeting to OK
press the sentiment which the document has
invoked. Those who inveigh against it,
say in the language of Dan1 O'Connell, that
they are willing to take their religion from
Rome, but not their politics. Mgr. Persico
is blamed for the papal enunciation. He is
well known here, being at one time Bishop
of the diocese of Savannah.
In an interview yesterday with members
of the Irish National League in Savannah
some were in favor Of immediate action,
while others counseled delay so that they
could conform their action to whatever
counsel is given by the Executive Commit
tee of the league. 1t is believed by them
that there will be indignation meetings
held all over this country to antagonize the
attitude of the Pope, and that while the
clergy viii subordinate their views to the
papal manifesto. the laity will repudiate it,
and the flow of Peters pence to Rome will
be largely diminished
