Eleven French nuns are virtually heln
prisoners in the Ursuline Convent in Fits
burg, Pa, and an interesting fight for con-
troll of the Institution is in progress. Bo!l
the pope and the county courts have been
appealed to. The Ursuline Convent is i'll the
pretty suburb of Oakland, and the buildings
and grounds are probably worth S95O, OOO, all
of which was accumulated by the founders
of the institution. They are French nuns
who came from their native land seventeen
years ago. They were all highly educated
and some were members of the nobility.
One Is related to the ex Empress Eigenie
and another knew the Empress when ooth
were children. At their academy the daugh-
tiers of many wealthy Pittsburg families
both Protestant and Catholic, have been
educated. Several months ago BISHOP rue
Ian deposed the French Superior. Mother

Mother gertrude, who is native of Ireland.
A lady journalist managed to get nm inter

An Indian rs a Mechanic.

One little anecdote Of Red jacket
related by Judge Sheldon at tile meet
ing of the Buffalo historical society
will be found interesting: "Therc was
once" said the Judge, ga blacksmith's
shop on the corner where the postollice
now stands, kept by Il man named
Reese. He was Il very fine workman,
a real artist in his line. One day Red
Jacket came into the shop with his in
terpreter-he would never speak
English, you know. Well, he wanted
a new Ratchet or tomahawll made.
They had some talk, but Reese finally
said he would make the Ratchet for him
and told him to come in two weeks for
it. When the time was up Red Jacket
came for his Ratchet. 1t was a fine
piece of workmanship, too. lie went
off, but returned in day or two with
tile hatchet 1t didn't suit him. Of
course Reese was mad, but he told Red
Jacket il he would make Il model Of
maple wood of just such u tomahawk
as he wanted he would make it for
him. So Red Jacket made his model
and brought it to Reese, who told him
to come after it in a week. Red Jack
ct came in week, with his interpreter,
as usual. Reese had told several peo-
pie, and several were in the shop when
Red jacket came in. Reese handed
him the hatchet. Red Jacket looked
at it all over, flung it across the room,
grunted Ugh and went off mad as
thunder. lie had forgotten to make
an eye IN his model, and Reese made
the Ratchet without an eye"
