RETURNING TO THE FOLD.

The Danish poet and novelist, Johannes Jorgensen, has become a Catholic. Mme. Marholm, who was one of the distinguished German Pro* testant women's suffragists, has recanted and professed her conversion to the Catholic ideal of the Blessed Virgin for the uplifting and perfection of women. Canon Gregson, M.A., well known in Melbourne, and who recently became a convert to the Catholic Faith, has, we (Tribune) are informed on reliable authority, been ordained for the diocese of Westminster. Miss Kennedy, teaoher of elocution at the Chicago School of Oratory, Miss Spooler and Miss Wolverne, of the Spooler Dramatic. Company, were received into the Catholic Church at St. Rose's Home, Ocean City, Md., recently by Rev. J. D. Downing. Rev. AlphonßUs Haubrich, of the Order of Franciscan Minors, who recently seceded from the Order and announced his intention of entering the Protestant ministry, has recanted and returned to the true fold, and is now in Rome, where he awaits the penance to be imposed by his superiors. On the first Sunday in November in the chapel of the convent of the Sacred Heart, New York, the Rev. Andrew R. L. Gunn, formerly a chaplain in the British Army, waa received into the Catholic Church. Mr. Gunn is a married man, with four children, and was in the first expedition for the relief of General Gordon at Khartoum. He saw many years' service, after which he waa connected with a pastorate in Jamaica, which he left four years ago to go to the United States. A private letter to Rev. Thomas J. Campbell, of the Jesuit Fathers, New York, received from China, announces that Captain Herbert G. Squires, well known in military circles in New York oity, and now attached to the United States legation in Pekin, has become a convert to the Catholic faith, and has been received into the Church in the Chinese capital. Captain Squires was formerly a member of the Seventh Regiment, United States cavalry, and fought with distinction under the late General Custer, For six years he was military instructor at St. John's College, New York. He resigned his commission in the United States army and subsequently became the military attache of the American legation at Berlin. After the expiration of his services in Berlin, he accepted the office of military attache under Minister Conger in China, and played an important part in the recent troubles in Pekin, in the defence of the lives and property of Americans in that city. In uniting with the Catholic Church Captain Squires is joined by hia wife and other members of his family.
