country to take up ber residence. Tue
branch ef the order in Germany, near
Baden 15 Mien, will be continued in
charge of tne sisters who aouoinpanlod
the nuttier general from tnis city.
Tha return of Mother Alexia is some
thing of a surprise, as it wan supposed
that she would not leave Germany
again owing to her feeble healtt and
advanced years, lier return to this
country makes it certain that the Mil
waukee convent will continue to be the
mother houce. Although the order
has been in existence for many years,
it is but a short time sinije the conveut
was erected in this city and Milwaukoe
made the homo of the order. This was
due to the severity of the German au
thorities, wh ch made it necessary for
Mother Alexia and the sisters to leave
that country. Connected with the
mother house in this city is the Sacred
Heart Sanitarium.

The Surratt Case.
A writer in Donohoc's Magazine makes
a somewhat labored attempt to reha
bilitate the reputation of Mrs. Mary B.
Surratt, who was hanged for corn-
enemies,
knowing not upon whom In civil life he
could rely, he naturally had recourse
to the only tribunal that he felt abso
lutely certain would give a verdict in
accordance with the facts. That the
verdict was unjust cannot be believed.
The evidence is at the war department
and may be read.
Now, in regard to the ca3e of John
H. Surratt: He went to Canada, was
harbored by Catholic priests, thenoa
abroad; enlisted in the pope's bodv
Must Patronise Church Schools.
St. Louis, Mo., September 9. At
the Third Diocesan Synod of the arch
diocese of St. Louis yesterday a decree
was promulgated, among others, relat
ing to parochial schools which caused
something of a sensation. It provides
that Catholic parents may send their
children to any Catholic school in the
city, but they must be seat to Catholic
and not public schools. The wording
of the decree "forbids parents to send
childrea to the public schools." Wnen
parent has reasons wnich he con
siders sufficient for departing from this
decree he must submit these reasons to
the archbishop and his consultors, and
can only depart from the rule with
their consent. Outside the city of St.
Louis the approval must come from the
priest in charge of the parish. When
asked what penalty will be meted out
to those who disregard the foregoing
decree, Archbishop Kaln said: "1 am
no. prepared to say. it is a matter
which remains with the confessor. If
he learns that one of those for wnom
he is responsible disregards the candi
dates of the church, he may feel that
he can no longer be responsible for him
and refuse him absolution. It is some
thing that will have to work Itself out."

liitliolici Are Attending Protestant
Nrhooln.
ToitONTO, Ont., Sept. 12. E. E.
Sheppsrd wires the Star from Montreal
to-nlgbt: "The high and public schools
of the Protestant board of school com
missioners, as they are called here,
opened here yesterday. What might
seem an extraordinary fact to the peo
ple Is that over 15,000 French Canara ,
dlans, Catholic children, attend these
so-called Protestant echools of Mon
treal, and many more are unable to ob
tain admission owing to the scarcity of
rxim Last term anew and excellent
Protestant, or rather public, school In
St. Denis street (strongly French and
Catholic) is reported to have been
forced to refine between six and seven
hundred French Catholic children.
This, too, in addition to those who
were admitted. The Catholics of this
province are rapidly recognizing that
their children are being poorly edu
cated, and before my return I expect
to gather some interesting faots regard
the true state of public sentiment."
The lkrabl says editorially, speak
ing of the opening of the schools:
"Quite four thousand parcntsln Mon
treal will realize this morning that
they live in about the only civilized
city in the world where a school fee is
demanded. And they will also find
that the withdrawal of their children
from school, or a straight confession of
poverty, are the only means of avoid
ing the wretched tax upon the poor
man's efforts to do something to better
the condition of his family."
Mr. Sheppard ssys further, Mr. Mar-
cband, leader of the local opposition,
ba9 already begun the campaign, leav
ing here yesterday for eastern coun
ties to organize and hold meetings.
Elections are expected to take place
Immediately after the mooting of the
legislature, or in about seven months.
Everyone I have met here expressed
the opinion that the Conservative gov
ernment, formerly led by Taillon, and
now by Flynn,, a French gentleman
with an Irish name, will be defeated.
Flynn is an attractive man, but the
business men of Montreal are very much
dissatisfied with the administration,
and believe that Marchand will win.
The latter is held in high esteem, and
is one oi the Quebec politicians who
have kept their skirts clean.
