New York Freeman's Journal. -- Adult converts from Protestantism to the number of seventy-live were confirmed con-firmed by Cardinal1 Gibbons in St. Patrick's Pat-rick's church, Washington, D. C, recently. re-cently. That looks as if the Catholic church were making progress at the national capital. Catholic Tribune. ,;- Poor old "General" Otis of Los Angeles has fallen upon evil days. He has sat tip late o nights prophesying that the governor would withdraw Father Yorke's name and the senate would refuse to confirm him as regent of the State university. And now that his augury proves false, the warrior of Caloocan gnashes his gums like a toothless hound arid calls Father Yorke various unbeautiful names.

The revival of the "Hail Mary" in the church of England is impelled by the denial of the -virginity of Christ's mother, which weakens faith in the incarnation, and by the danger of woman's wo-man's degradation threatened by the legalization of divorce. By the use of "Hail Mary" the1 true position of woman, wo-man, and the "part- that she has taken 'in the redemption of mankind, are kept before the world. "We like to believe," says the "Ave Marie," that our Anglican Ang-lican friends are "moved, by the holy spirit" in their efforts to revive the "Hail Mary."

Y. Freemen's Free-men's Journal. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has intimated his intention to donate a $3,000 organ to St. Stephen's Magyar Catholice church at. McKeesport. A few similar gifts from the multi-millionaire to other Catholic churches in this vicinity vicin-ity would be appreciated.
