Problem of Orphans care.-Arch-
bishop Glennon addressed the third
conference of Catholic charities in the
St. Louis University auditorium Sun
day, May "a. A resolution on the
placing of orphan children in Catholic
homes was introduced by Rev. John ].
Butler, secretary Of the conference, its
passage being seconded by former
Judge O'Neil Ryan. The Archbishop
in his address maintained that the
city of st. Louis should follow the
practice of other large municipalities
and make proper allowance for city
wards committed to private institu'
tions, and held that the unsolved prob
lem so far is, how to sustain the chill
dren committed to our local institu
lions by the courts or through city
officials. $50 far" he said, "our insti
buttons have exerted themselves to
take care of all who are so committed;
it appears only equitable, however
that the city should also be respon'
sible for the maintenance and support
of these children"
No "Sniping' Friars.-The accuse
tion of 'sniping" made against the
priests of the Church of the Divine
Shepherd at the taking of Vera Cruz
is contradicted by the Bishop of Tul
ancings, an eyewitness. In the
course of a statement he says: "The
Church of the Divine Shepherd is in
charge of the Redemptorist Fathers
So far were they from firing on the
North American soldiers that when
the latter entered, breaking through
the wall, they found us all together
between the Church and the passage
way of the sacristy-a place which
we considered safest against their
fire. BY the Providence of God the
door to the tower or campanile of the
Church was locked with key; an6
thus the invaders could convince
themselves that no one had gone III
from here to the azotea or roof Of
the Church, from which the shooting
had taken place. According to the
laws of Mexico, the churches belong
to the Federation, and for this reason
the Fathers could not prevent defend
ers from taking possession of the tow
ers. But, repeat, the defenders whC
fired from above got there from the
adjoining houses and did not enter the
monastery at ALL" The Bishop distin
cuisines between warfare" and snip
ing" He holds that the latter i!
equivalent to murder.
