Miss Louise Bouvler Drexel is the

residue of principal of the estate goes
in proportion similar to the legacies
already awarded to the Roman Catho-
lie charities already referred to.

Miss Louise Bowler Drexel, daughter
Of the late Mr.. and Mrs. +. A. Drexel,
and niece Of Mr.. A. j. Drexel, to Mr..
Robert Morrell, step-son OF Mr.. John G.
Johnson, of the bar. Miss DreXel and
her two sisters, Miss Lizzie Drexel and
Miss Kate Drexel, are the three wealth
lest young unmarried ladies in the
United States. The aggregate fortune
that came to them from her late father
after the payment OF about 81 500 900 to
Roman Catholic charities, was some
thing over $l3, 00O, 600. 1t is so invested
as to bring each OF them an income OF
over $500 900 a year.
They have become widely celebrated
for their munificent charities, one of the
finest monuments to their philan-
thropic spirit being the Industrial
School and Home for Boys at Edding-
ton, which is within a short distance OF
their own country home at Torresdale.
| The home was recently opened with $50
inmates, and Is designed to accommo-
dote 500. The Misses Drexel have
already expended about $3.50 600 in the
furtherance OF the project, and have
also undertaken to pay all the current
! expenses out OF their private means.
! They have also taken an active interest
in the work OF chr~istianizing the
Indians, and have contributed large sums
for that purpose. They gel $l0O, 900

George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipcten-
tiary, from the United States to Germany,
had a slight stroke of apoplexy day or
two ago, as noted in the MORNING NEWS
cable dispatches. Mr.. Pendleton was born
in 1895 He was married in 1916 to Alice
Key, daughter of Francis S. Key, the au-
thor of THE -Spangled Banner" The
lady of his choice was also niece of Roger
B. fancy, Chief-Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States
Mr.. Pendleton's career as aastatesman be-
gan. when he was about 80 years old, with
his election to the Ohio State Senate, Of
which he was a member in 1854 and 1855,
giving him an experience of craftsmanship
in connection with the practice of his pro-
fession as lawyer. This he has pursued
with assiduity when his public services have
permitted, from his admission to the bar
until now.
He was a member of the House Of Repre-
sentatives for eight years, ending with the
Thirty eighth Congress. His term in the
Senate ended March, 1885. 1t was the full
term of six years.
When the war for the Union began, Mr..
Pendleton was a member of the House of
representatives. Then, as now, he was at
tached to the Democratic party, and was
an advocate of compromise so long as there
oocLA4ou any possibility VI H. llon I'LL Ut
temptS in that direction failed, however, he
favored the continuance of coercive meas
ures for the maintenance Of the Union. In
1864 he was nominated for the Vice Presi-
dency on the ticket with Gen. Mcclellan.
He wasa delegate to the Philadelphia Ma
tional Convention in 1886. Three years
later he was an unsuccessful candidate for
the governorship Of Ohio. In 1862 the
same year. he was elected president of the
Kentucky Railroad Company.
Perhaps Mr.. Pendleton's greatest accom-
plishment as statesman was the prominent
part he took in the advocacy of civil SER
vice reform. He was chairman of the Sen
ate committee having the matter in hand.
AS such he introduced, in the year 1880, the
bill that became law in 1882.
In person Mr.. Pendleton is somewhat
taller than the average man. His figure is
stout; his head large and his neck short.
He is always well-dressed, and is the pink
of correct department and gentlemanly
courtesy. This has always charac-
terized him, and won for him twenty
years ago, the title Gentle
man George" by which he is still
known He is distinguished among our
public men for generous and elegant hos
pitality, both at home in Cincinnati and
while in Washington. HIS address, both in
public and private, is remarkable for ele-
gance and preciseneSs of expression. Most
of his public addresses are first written at
full length, memorized and rehearsed, and
his appearances are always welcome to per-
sons of good taste. The wife of his youth
is dead. His only son is practicing law in
New York city; his other children two in
number, are daughters.

women who want white and gold parlors,
but cannot indulge in tapestries. The most
recent makes give the effect of white and
gold paneing with patterns in large or
small effects as needed. For the chamber
windows there are Pompadour chalice and
cretonnes and chintzes and a world of flow
cred materials.
The white and gold fever will last this
summer. How much longer one cannot
tell. "Styles used to last four years, now
they sometimes change in four weeks" said
a furniture man yesterday. 1t is some
proof of the comparative permanence of
the taste, however, that the antique and
COLONIAL hall and dining-room furniture is
already somewhat affected. 1t keeps to some
extent its straight lines but INDUCES in
French and Italian renaissance rather than
old English carvings.

preston which characterizes much of the

shows the most vigor and masculine energy

etchers of the New York Etching Club,
organized in 1877. She was represented in

of Painter Etchers and was elected to mem
bership. Mrs. Greatorex, who has used the
