Edes will give Eva Mariotti six dollars and will keep a franc in payment for her paragraphs in the article. She was surprised to find in the latest Ave Maria the interpolation in the article and poured out her woes to Professor James Edwards. They concluded that Hudson did not like the remainder of the article and remembering that Edes had been Roman correspondent for the London Tablet, supposed her the author of the account of St. Januarius and so inserted it. Edes' curiosity regarding the article signed "E" was aroused because she neither remembered reading or translating it. The older she gets the more treacherous her memory. She was born December 7, 1832. Edes was charmed with Professor Edwards. She regrets that he was unable to see Cardinal Simeoni. Edes Presumes Hudson has learned the names of the five new western bishops. The utmost secrecy prevailed about the appointments, not even the Vice Rector of the American College was told, until the decrees were made and Archbishop John Ireland was notified by Simeoni of the appointments. The secrecy grows out of the system inaugurated in the Catholic News of cabling information of appointments obtained fradulently the day the nominations were made by the General Congregation of Propaganda, and before they received papal sanction. Father John Zar—detti, who is in Rome, Was informed of his appointment by Propaganda and will go to Einsiedln, Switzerland, where he will be consecrated. The other nominees, Father Joseph Cotter, Father James McGolrick and Father John Shanley are all of the St. Paul diocese, so the Archbishop will be sure of obedient suffragans. The Freeman's Journal reports Ireland has sailed for Europe. She thinks he would want to be present for the Baltimore Festivities and the inauguration of the celebrated university. Perhaps he is coming over for the Murat Mary Caldwell wedding which is supposed to occur in October. :: X-3-j A.L.S. 2pp. 4to. 11
