The erection OF new Catholic or
phan asylum for the diocese of Sault
Ste Marie and Marquette at Marquette
is now practically assured. The priests
in retreat last week at Assinins, near
Baraga. have already subscribed
SOB. $50 for the purpose.
Rt. Rev. Frederick Els, bishop Of
the diocese, was at Assinins. where the
majority of the priests of the diocese
are gathered TO hear retreat which
was preached by Father Ro sswink-
el S. J. Of Milwaukee. He recalled
TO them the fact that the late Bishop
Vertin had bequeathed to the diocese
funds for the purchase of site for a
nice asflum and that the site, 40 acres
of and had been purchased in the
northwest part Of the city Of Mar.
uuette. He also explained that the
destruction by fire something like a
year ago o. the orphan asylum at Mar
quette made the new orphan asylum
great present nee, ssity. The bishop
asked the assembled priests to state
what amount they would be willing
TO subscribe TO the new building
Their response was very gratifying
TO Bishop Els and it may best be ex-
pressed by naming the sum promised
by each, which is done in the follow
ing list
