Sister AIoyse of the Cross Passes
Away After Long and USE
full Life.

Sister Aoyse of the Cross. one of the
pioneer sisters of California, died at Notre
Dame Convent, on Dolores street. Satur-
day. She was a woman well Oh in years,
whose active life bad brought on old age
even before its time, and so her end came
after natural decline of bodily powers.
Sister Aloyse was superioress of the
Convent of Notre Dame in this city for
thirty years prior to her death. Her posi-.
ton and superior mental attachments and
talents brought her into prominence
among the leading ladies of Catholic re-
ligious communities, and as head of the
establishment at Sixteenth and Dolores
streets she will be widely remembered in
California.
The deceased nun was born in Engan nd
about siXty-six years ago. She came to
California forty years ago and after
direct to the College of Notre Dame at
San Jose. About ten years later con-
vent was built opposite the old Mission
Dolores Church and given IN charge of
sisters of Notre Dame. Sister Aloyse was
appointed superioress. position she held
to the hour of death. Singular success
marked her career. In, ali these thirty
years little or nothing was heard of the
reverend superioress outside the convent
walls, though she worked earnestly with
a direction 10 her efforts in the cause of
education.
A broad education fitted her for her life's
work, and with the knowledge acquired
from books she combined sound Judgment
and excellent administrative ability. The
effect is apparent in the perfect institution
she has left behind. From time to time
the academy was enlarged by her, until
to-day it has boarding school with about
sixty young ladies. select day school of
fifty children and day school with an
average attendance Of 225 At the present
time plans for large structure al the con-

Probably the most permanent advertise
ments of a locality are its natural re-
sources, and in these California is peculi-
arly rich.
An interesting feature about the last
volume of Mineral Resources of the United
States, is its unusual reference to the min
eral spring resorts.
No thorough statistic study has ever been
made of the resources OF the different
States in this direction, and this would
seem strange when it is known that there
is scarcely State that has not it's mineral
spring resorts
The new book, in its table of mineral
spring resorts, ascribes to California a
larger number by twenty-four of these re-
sorts than TO any other State in the Union.
The second State is Virginia, with forty
eight, and the third is Missouri, just five
