spondent at Warrington says: Before
leaving Washington, Mrs. Sherman,
wife Of the General, added another
name to her long list of Catholic con-
verts. This last convert, like many
others who have been Influenced by
Mrs. Sherman, Is young lady with q
rich papa. The Young lady is Miss Wes-
ton, Of New York, daughter OF the own.

for several years, have passed their
winters in Warrington. They are Uni.

Roman Catholicism, and like most con
verts, especially young lady converts
Miss Weston is more devout than til
most rigid Roman Catholics, who hay
been brought up In that faith"
