The new hall of St. Mary's Convent,
Notre Dame, Ind, mother house of the
Sisters of the Holy Cross IN America,
has been appropriately named st. An
gela's hall, in honor of the patron saint Of
the late Mother Angela Gillespie.
Mother Angela was practically the found
ress of the Sisters of the Holy Cross in
the United States. Her name in the
world was Eliza Mary Gillespie, and she
was first cousin of Hon. James G..
Blaine, ex-secretary of state. She was
educated in the Visitation Convent,
Georgetown, D. c., the alma mater of 80
many famous women, and, for some years
after leaving school, was favorite in
Washington society.

The Catholics of st. Johns, Newfound-
land, may we'll lament the loss by fire of
their magnificent cathedral, which was
one of the finest ecclesiastical structures
on this side of the ocean. Not only was
the cathedral grand itself, but it pos
sessed number of valuable treasures in
the shape of mural marbles and paint
ings. The late Archbishop Hughes of
New York oficiated at the dedication of
this minister, which fact made it an OBJ
ject of interest to Americans who visited
St. Johns, and it's towering steeples
fronting the Atlantic at an elevation Of
800 feet above the sea level were the
first objects to attract the travellers at
tention as he entered the harbor.

More miraculous cures are reported
among pilgrims, who visited St. Anne de
Beaupre, under the direction of the
Fathers of the Holy Sacrament of Mon
treal. One of these alleged cures is that
of a boy twelve years of age who had
completely lost the use of speech as re-
suit Of an attack of the grippe. After he
had prayed at the shrine of the saint, he
began to speak aloud in the church and
the effect upon the large number of wor-
shippers present was such that there was
almost a panic, everyone rising and
climbing on the benches to see and hear
the boy to whose enthusiasm and joy
over his sudden cure there seemed to be
no limit. It was with some difficulty
that the priests present succeeded in re-
storing order.

i The American peace commissioners
seem to have failed in their mission to
Ireland. The fights at the elections went
on with as much vigor as if they had
stayed at home. They may, however,
have some consolation in the reflection
that the English and Welsh acted about
as badly as the Irish. In their absence
the Irishmen of Boston held mass meet
ing, at which they resolved chat we re-
gard the action of the so-called commits
sioners of arbitration who recently took
al excursion from New York to Ireland
with the ostensible purpose of setting
the Irish difficulties as unauthorized, and
consequently deserving of the censnre it
received of being ignominiously ignored
in Ireland.'
