A News reporter called at st. Mary's S
Home, Erie street and Pavonia avenue,
this afternoon, and after relating his mis-
sion to the Sister Superior was informed
that as she had come to the Home but
short time before. she could only give
such information concerning Clifford as
was shown by the records of the institu-
ton.
After searching them the Sister Su-
perior said that John Clifford had entered
the Home in 1880, and stayed there until
1893 when his eyes became sore. The
institution sent him to an eye and ear in.
firmatary in New York where he stayed

the Sister Superior did not wish to en-
danger the health of the other $50
children, he was sent to the Home for the

has been ever since.

paid and due ST. Michaeps. She said
