ST. JOSEPH'S CONVENT.

The nuns rise at $50 a. m, go to prayers
at 6, mass at and breakfast at 7.3O.
Those boarders who are of age, or old
enough to take care of themselves, do
not eat with the nuns unless they
choose to. They can have private tables
and such food as they may order. Vic
toria has table by herself, but she
often dimes with the Mother Superior.
The nuns do chamberwork from 7.30
to $50, and the time until 9 is spent in
preparations for school, which con-
tinues from 9 until noon. The dinner
hour is from IL to 1, and school again
from until either or 4, when all the
nuns walk out with the children. They
sometimes take boarders or children out
shopping; the smaller ones play on the
convent lawn; the older ones walk, in
pleasant weather, along the Otter Creek
road from Center Rutland to Ravens
Boiling Springs.
The evening schedule is not quite as
barren of relieving incident. After sup
per, at 6, and prayers in the chapel, at
Z, comes, usually, a play hour for the
children, when music and games are in
order. Victoria is often at the piano in
the evening, and shows marked fond
ness for children. At $50 the convent
Is dark and quiet.
A dull life, to be sure, for a young
woman of so many accomplishments.
More to her liking, the world might
say, would be that pleasing picture of
Father Morosini and his daughter Julia
at the Horse Show. which attracted the
attention of the throng few days ago.
But the world is wrong. Victoria, to al!
appearances, is where she is the hap.

piano disclosed white rose dropped
at the side of the manual. 1t was
mute witness of the story of Victoria
Morosini's life. This piano was hers,
and the fallen rose was hers, and she
was in the convent-a boarder and
nuns teacher, and lover of flowers and
children.
Victoria has not taken the vows of a
nun. There is no evidence that she in
tends to. She lives at the convent,
dresses in black exactly like the sisters
of st. Joseph, except for the white fore
head band. While her convent life is
as plain, isolated and uneventful as that
of the strictest ascetic, she is not sub
ject to the discipline of the institution
beyond her wish. She has grown some
what stouter since the days when she
danced in tights with mandoline and
song at the Casino, while her German
husband made 81 a day as Sixth ave-
nue. car conductor.
Her hair, the glimpse of it one can
see behind her black veil, is still bril-
liant and without trace of age or grief.
Victoria often walks out with a nun
or the mother superior and OCCASIONALLY
alone. A popularity of her head dress
is that she wears no covering but
black veil. Until within year this veil
has fallen over her face in the public
street, but latterly she draws 1t about
her face so as to completely cover her
hair. She usually wears colored glasses.
although still having perfect eyesight.
In spite of this disguise. her clear
complexion and fine features only show
to better advantage. Her life Of social
distinction is gone, but her beauty has
not been shrouded. even by the nun
merry. Her face. rediscovered after de-
cade, is as much of a mystery as her
life. It is one of the sweetest faces In
Rutland. There is neither romance nor
grief in its regular proportions. II she
should elect to return to New York she
would be conspicuous for her graces In
any parlor.

Still COmatose.
Miss Jessie Wiley, % years old. oil
New Brunswick, who came to New York
the other day to visit friends, has fallen
into trancelike sleep. and no one has
been able to awaken her. She was in
tending to spend Thanksgiving with
friends, and arrived there on Wednes-
day afternoon. She was tired and went
to bed almost at once. At supper tims
her friends tried to awaken her, and
failing, became alarmed and sent for
DR.. Ferguson of Ogden avenue and High
Bridge road. He tried his best to
arouse her, and worked with her all
night, but with no better success than
the family had had. The next day she
was removed to Fordham Hospital, and
later DR.. Scott of that hospital had her
taken to the home Of other friends of
hers in Powell place. She is still there.
During the time between when she
was taken there and last week three or
four more physicians have been attend
ing her, and they have tried every
means they know of to arouse Miss
Wiley, from sticking pins into her flesh
to giving her shocks with an electric
battery. They have succeeded upon sew

tered the State of Vermont, having o 4
clue the chance remark Of a Massa-
chusetts woman of fashion that she had
seen Victoria out driving with young
lady in East Dorset, VT, and that she
was later seen with a sister of the
Order Of st. Joseph in Vermont. There
are in that State three converts Of the
order of st. Joseph.
The reception room of the Rutland
Convent is at the left as one enters the
building on the first floor. In the rear
and at the west is school-room where
children from the city are taught by the
nuns, who are always dressed in black,
except for the white band across their
forehead.
In the rear to the east is the nuns
private chapel, which has an exit to the
east lawn. A stairway leads from the
right of the main entrance to the second
floor. In the northeast corner of second
floor is the main music room, connect
ing with other and smaller music
rooms.
The most practiced eye would fail to
discover in the building anything be-
yond the simple outfittings of convent,
with parochial school accommodations.
There must be at least eight pianos
in the various music rooms, and one
Of them was notably finer than the rest.
This fact was noted as the first break
from the monotony which character
ICES the institution.
Several of the boarders' chambers are
on the second floor. AS a rule these
boarders are girls who are there to re-
ceive an education, and are rarely over
seventeen years of age. The convent
contains seventeen or eighteen board
ers at present.
It was learned later that a woman
boarder in the convent owned the ex-
pensive piano in the MUSHROOM, and
that she taught music to both day pu-
pills and nuns. In passing back to the
head of the stairs second view of the

she figured as one of the most mystic
rious disappearance the press of the
country has ever tried to fathom. Her
elopement with Schilling on Sept. 3,
1884, her subsequent appearance as a
chorus girl and then her strange de-
parture, in what direction no one could
say, were successive chapters in an al
ways interesting story of metropolitan
life. Additional interest was given to
the case from the wealth and high bust
ness standing of Giovanni p. Morosini,
who was an intimate friend and asso-
ciate of the late Jay Gould.
The discovery of Victoria Morosini is
beyond question or doubt, as the follow
ing details will fully establish. Schill-
ing's own search for his runaway wife,
carried on as it was under great diff
Guilty, was followed by the public with
dramatic interest. Many persons vol

social ladder, whether it ends in castle

The convent stands not far from Otter

of a pleasant day strolling with chill
dren or nuns along the valley road.

night a steady stream Of landseekers
have been going upon the Yankton res

laid was not legally open to settlement
Until noon. No effort, seemingly, has
been made to ascertain the names OF
the s.sooners." SO that whatever rights
they attempt to claim may be declared
void. Their rights are held to attach
from time Of settlement. A great in
justice will be done law abiding settlers
who did not enter the reservation until
they were lawfully permitted to do SO.
Many contests are certain to result from
this premature settlement on tho part
of ''sooners," as many Of those who
went upon the reservation promptly
after noon will strive to secure posses
sion of choice land how occupied and
claimed by 'sooners." So far as known,
no efforts are being made by townsiters
to locate townsites on coded lands.
Many more land seekers arrived dur
ing the night and during the forenoon.
Others are coming on the train which
arrives in the middle Of the afternoon,
but all the land will probably be taken
by that time. The general opinion is
that the .sooners' should have been
held in check by the troops.
