THANKS FOR SYMPATHY. Cardinal ArehbUhop of Pnrla Writes to American Catholics. CINCINNATI, Oct. 4. National Secretary Anthony Matre, of the American Federation of Catholic Societies, received a letter from Cardinal Richard, the archbishop of Paris, to-day in which the latter expressed his sincerest thanks to the American Federation of Catholic Societies for the expressions of sympathy which that organization has extended to the bishops and the religious orders of France. Secretary Matre says: "This letter will serve as a bitter rebuke to certain reports which have gained ground in this country and elsewhere that the cardinal and certain bishops of France as well as all the secular clergy seemed quietly pleased that the religious orders nre being expelled and are far from being sorry for the prevailing persecution. The American Catholics have at all times taken a sympathetic view of the religious persecutions in France and welcomed to America many of those exiled." Lay Societies Eatabttahed.
