Was Father Reuben Parsons a student at the North American College? Whenever Hudson receives volumes from Propaganda he may know Edes is the guilty party. She hoped Hudson liked "Mystere du Sang". Edes has no doubt the accusation is well founded. The care the Jews take to buy up and destroy all the pamphlets on the matter proves their sense of guilt. The author of "Tyborne", Mother Magdalen Taylor is in Rome with her nuns, known as the "Nuns of the Holy Wash Tubs". Taylor is perfectly enormous. Cardinal Vicar Lucido Parocchi calls her "Madame la Montaigne". Immorality promoted by the Crispi government's policy has so infected the army that the new minister of war has demanded measures to be taken to ban women of easy virtue. The Freemasons are aroused and making efforts to return Francesco Crispi to power. Professor James Edwards' painting is underway. Monsignor Jacobini will probably be replaced in June by Archbishop Ignatius Persico unless the Pope changed his mind. Cardinal Giovanni Simeoni denied to Edes the report that he was leaving the Propaganda and let her contradict the report through the Catholic News. She dropped the Catholic Review last October because it manipulated stupidly and was unpunctual. The Paris edition of the New York Herald gets off the most charming canards, due to their continual change of Roman correspondents each worse than the last. Propaganda now cables appointments to an accredited agent of a bishop before releasing it to the American rector. A certain class in Rome is attempting to create the impression that the Milwaukee and Omaha appointments are distasteful to the majority of Catholics. :: X-3-k A.L.S. 4pp. 4to. 11
