Miss Eleanor S. Ross died Friday morn
ing, June Is, 1894. She was born in Au-
gusta, March 10, 1919. For IS years she
has lived in the old home that gave her
birth, at % Green street. One of those
faithful souls hardly known beyond their
own immediate circle, she lived her life
without striking incident, yet it was a
life Of constant devotion and loyal service
and simple goodness. Two sisters survive
her, Mary and Susan. Having lost their
father fifty years ago, and having had no
mothers presence for thirty years, these
sisters, living together, have become Pc
culiarly devoted to one another. Eleanor,
as the oldest, assumed the mothers place,
with mothers care and fidelity. She was
content to be the home maker a ministering
spirit caring for her own, never unmindful
of any who came into her little world. She
goes to rest in age from the doors of her
childhood, surrounded by old scenes, watch
ed by eyes that loved her, by hearts that

in her usual attire. At the end OF
this month she goes to St Gabriers

assumes the plain black dress deep
white linen collar and close cap which
distinguish the postulant's Iress. Her
probation as postulant lasts six
months. During this time she has
every opportunity to judge for herself
of life, and, what is also important
the sisters of the community have an
opportunity Of judging whether the
postulant has a vocation for the state
of life to which she believes herself
called. At the end of six months she
is forma ally proposed to the sisters by
the mother superior as wanting to be-
come religious Ito use the technical
term, and to be admitted to q closer
and further trial of the life to which,
If she is deemed suited, she is admitted
as n novice; she drops her surname
and henceforth is addressed as Sister
Mary, or whatever her Christian name
may be. In Roman Catholic converts
it is only the lay or working sisters
there who attend to the domestic ar
rangements who are called Sis

houses are called Mother" the sur

in the novitiate, and often the time is

During this time she is carefully in

is therefore regarded as lifelong.
In many communities it is the Gus

and renew them at intervals of three

ever entered the defendants place OF
business.
AS this witness left the stand and
passed close to Miss Molier she bowed
modestly to him and said gratefully

reached his heart; he felt as well rs
heard them; and from that moment he
resolved to win her for himself if sue

The jury acquitted Molier without
leaving their seats. And as the same
testimony would acquit him on the
charge Of arson, the counsel for the
state entered a nolle prosequi, and Mo-

That Protestant Episcopal sister
hood, the Sisters of st. Mary, has es-
tablished several schools for girls
From these schools they derive the
greater part of their income for car
rying on their works of charity. Be-
sides the school at Peekskill, there is
one in New York city. one in Mem
phis Tenn, and Kemper hall, Keno
sha, has lately been put in their
charge.
One of their most interesting charit-
able works is the free hospital for
children in West Thirty-fourth street
New York, with Sister Catherine SUI
perior, and nine assistant sisters. In
connection with this work, there is
country home at Islip. where the chill
dren are taken for the summer. The
house is not far from the w. X. Van
derbilt estate, and was the gift of
Mrs. Vanderbilt to the sisters. Money
for a country home for convalescing
and incurable children has recently
been given to the Order of St. Mary

The conditions of membership in these
sisterhoods are very similar to those
imposed for admission into the Roman
catholic orders. There must be APP
parent divine vocation for this both
active and contemplative life, this life
of work and of prayer, of silence and
of meditation. and there must be am.
pie time allowed to test the vocation;
ordinarily at least two and q half
years. The Order of St Mary's is the
most widely known and the Oldest

Certainly nobody has been looking

a record as year for railroad build

prised to learn that there has been
less than a nominal amount of new
road built. Yet the returns of track
laid in 1894 up to July show an ag-
gregate of 495 miles. This Is the low
est half years record that has been re-
ported for years. The total is $50
