Veteran Sewers Connec-
ton with Guardians
of Liberty.

The following letter is self-ex-
planatory. IL was addressed by Gen.
Daniel Sickles to Charles d. Haines,
President of the Guardians of LIB
erty:
My Dear Haines: | am in receipt
of your favor of this date. Since the
meeting in John street and the de-
nunciations of the Catholic church,
which were heard there, there can
be no doubt of the hostility of the
Guardians of Liberty-especially the
prominent members-to that church.
am unwilling to be associated with
any society that is proscriptive and
denunciatory towards any religious
sect. In my estimation all religious
sects and all churches are worthy of
respect and tolerance. There are
many millions Of Catholics IN our
country. and / do not know one of
them, from the Cardinal down, who
is disloyal. have personally known
many Catholic priests who, during
the war, were among our most loyal
and patriotic citizens. / had Cath
Ollie Chaplains in the Third Army
Corps, who were among the bravest
and most devoted of my officers, and
for whom l likewise had profound
respect. My decision to resign from
the Guardians of Liberty is absolute
and final. Very sincerely yours,
d. e. Sickles.

State President Welsh Wis.,
Its Division I,
A. o. n.

Not for long time past has Divis-
ion 1, A. o. H., had as largely at
tended a meeting as that on last
Tuesday night. The increased at
tendance was gratifying to the off
GERS and gave evidence that this will
be prosperous season for the order.
President Cusick occupied the chair
and created much enthusiasm by
stating that three more candidates
aAVFePe---aw iiting i,4firt1iktrUi1. James
Doran and James Dugan were re-
ported still sick but improving. State
President Patrick ]. Welsh was pres
emit and when introduced by Presi-
dent Cusick was given a most hearty
reception. The new State President
congratulated Division l on it's
splendid condition and membership
and after outlining the policy Of the
new administration made an earnest
appeal for the support of every mem
Der in increasing the strength and
usefulness of the Ancient Order. The
present State Board, he said, would
, do everything possible to organize
new divisions and double the mem
bership of the old ones, thus placing
Kentucky in the front rank of Hiber-
nianism. Chairman Thomas Tarpy
reported progress being made for the
euchre and lotto party to be given
by Division 1. The committee would
soon have all the arrangements COM
pleted, when tickets would be dis
tributed,

CANONIZATION
For Foundress of Sisters
of Providence In This
Country.

A board of which Bishop Silas
Chatard, of the indianapolis do
cese, was Chairman, has completed
the compilation of evidence asked
for by the Vatican on which is to be
based the canonization of Mother
Theodore, foundress of the order of
the Sisters of Providence in the
United States. The board sat at st.
Mary-of-the-Wood, the mother house
OF the order, on the west bank of the
Wabash, above the city of Terre
Haute, Ind. The site was a forest
when Mother Theodore and five sis
ters came from France in 1910 to
establish the order in this country.
Mother Theodore's canonization was
recommended two years ago by sew
eral Of the higher members of the
hierarchy in the United States. 1t is
a slow process and final action will
not be taken for several years,
Mother Theodore was Mile. Guerin,
daughter of an officer under
Napoleon. She was born in Brit
tany in 1898. In 1910 Bishop Brute,
of Vincennes, Ind, sent a commits
sioner to France to get some of the
Sisters to found a teaching COM
munity in his diocese, which then
covered most of the old Northwest
Territory. Mother Theodore and
five Sisters came, sailing from Havre
to New Orleans, then up the Missis-
sippi and the Ohio, and by stage
from the Ohio to the site of the pres
ent $5,000.000 estate. The Sisters
had been literally educated in the
arts and had come from homes of
culture and refinement.

toast Bishop Flaget, Bishop 0'Don-
aghue responded. Bishop David"
Father Davis then memorialized in a
dedicatory poem. Mother Catherine

fitting terms by the Rev. Joseph
Hogarty. One of the most notable
addresses was that to ''The Sisters"
by the Right Rev. Mgr. feeling, of
Lynn, Mass, who first called the
Sisters of Nazareth to Boston.
Bishop Macs, of ,Covington, elo-
quently spoke to The Old Century
and The New"

Papal household Mgr. Bonzano,
Papal Delegate; Cardinal Gibbons, of
Baltimore; Cardinal Farley, of New
