To the Editor of the San Francisco Calt-DEAR
SIR: Peter C. Yorke stamps the Jesuit oaths
as forgeries. We cited four references for the
oaths. In his "new" edition of our first cita-
ton Peter C. Yorke is unable to find all the
oaths therein. That may be, but what Peter
C. Yorke did find he says is forgery anyway.
How about the oaths in the three other cita-

unusual versatility and a rich fund of
thought and feeling. She has done some
ambitious prose work in form of stories,
and her intention is TO develop this branch
of her varied talent also.
If there be genius in journalism, Mrs.
Virginia Stuart Mosby Coleman possesses
the genius with which she is endo wed is
that begotten OF bard work and lnda 1nted
perseverance. Yet Mrs. Coleman is for
tunate in the possession of most of The ele

Though still very young woman, she is to-
day one OF the most brilliant Of the women

is an alert aud accurate newsgathe rer, q
successful interviewer, and she clothes her
work in graceful, forceful aud pure liter

has Mrs. Coleman, and Mrs Cleveland is the
only lady of prominence whom she has
not met aud conversed with, within the last
two years, in the Interests of the readers
OF the newspapers in and out of the city.
Mrs. Coleman loves her work and has made
for herself host of warm friends amoug
those she has visited in a professional ca
pacity. She is gifted with a kindly, viva
elous manner that seems to compel the con-
fidence OF the most re ticent of fsubjects while
it inspires that Of the most diffident.
Mrs. Coleman was bornin warran.on, Va,
in which town her father, the noted guerilla
colonel, John S. Mosby, settled alter the
war. She received her education in con-
vent at Emmetsburg, Nd, and uce then has
resided most of the time in Washington. The
strong political atmosphere that .iI1vaded
her early home created in the child q keen
interest in politics that has ,amainei " ith
her since then, and sooH after she left school
she commenced writing occasional articles
for various magazines and newspapers
throughout the country. AS time wCle on
and demand was made for her .eork she
became more and more absorbed IN news
paper journalism, and about Two Gears ago
decided TO devote her whole time TO it, and
now she is busy every day and al day in
tervlewing ard writing for the Washington
newspapers and for half dozen others in
New York, Boston, Brooklyn and Phil

When about sixteen Mr.. Leighter was or

and was III charge there until he left to
come to the Epiphany.
His taste is entirely for the ecclesiastical
school of music. and he is a follower of
the English masters OF this school, Stainer,
Barnby, and others, and it is his hope
that he may soon go to England to study
under Stainer, who is at the head of the
Royal Conservatory OF Music in London.
Mr. Leighter began to compose at the age
of eleven
His very first, "Berceuse, was played by
the Marine Band and afterward inter
lopated into an opera, and his second song,
"Catawba Wine," which has only recently
been published, was also embodied in one
or the new operas. When he was twelve
ne composed beautiful air to the we'll
Known hymn, softly Now the Light OF
Day." which has been rendered in several
OF the churches here. His latest compost

Young People of the National Capital Whose Work

Washington has been called the Mecca
to which those who have passed the Ru-

ture and art, finally turn.
1t seems also to contain the fountain from
which young genius may partake OF the
waters OF inspiration, for the Capital con-
tains to-day goodly number of young men
and women, who, though few Of them have

technicalities of sculpture, Mr. Alicottmade
an exception to his rule against taking

In contrast to Miss Thurston in this re-
gard is her classmate, Miss Elizabeth Car
roll Shipman. Miss Shipman is a Virginian
by birth, and has lived most OF her life in
Virginia, but her stories depict the life
and character ofthose among whom she has
dwelt, and in her backgrounds she pictures
vividly and beautifully the familiar ground
across q he p Potomae. A few others stories are
In dialect and reveal an intimate knowledge
Df the negro characteristics, as well as
those OF the "poor whites"
Miss Shipman's work is in many respects
that Of a finished writer. Her descrip-
tons ofnatUre remind US of William Black s

vividness and beauty. Her taste seems TO
revert little at times TO the sad and
