rector Of st. Ignatus Church. was the Prosi-
dent, j. Fisher Reese was tho Secretary, and
Miss Fatuit, known as Mother Elizabeth after
tho society was formed, was the Treasurer.
The object OF the society was to provide IN In
dustrial school and homo for children and young
girls from 12 to 1s years of nge Only children
OF good character, with references, were ad-
mitted to the school, Tho inmates were received
for not less than three years, and during that
time were taught to do housework. sewing. en-
brodery and cooking. and at the same time
were to be educated. Tho privileges Of tho
school were originally free TO those admitted,
but the parents or guardians Of the children
were required to pay $50 for clothing.

Then she came to New York and Joined Father

| TO do. Miss Fatuit Is said to be n cultivated
woman and clever tnlker, and was able to con-
! vince Father Ritchie that her scheme was q
| good ono. The school was accordingly started.
Miss Fatuit rented tho house in West Twenty
second street, furnished 1t. and associated with
herself Miss Margaret Jessup of Boston and an.
other woman.
At one time there wore forty inmates Of tho
| institution. This number decreased to about
| fifteen last year. The children complained
that they did not havo good food, that they
were not well threatcd, and that their
! lives were miserable. When tho school moved to
Bronxyille last summer, one Of the girls led the
other children in q strike. They refused to do
| any more work and the school broke up. 1t Is
said that the parents of the children sanctioned

incurable disease and having no close relations,
hc decided to put an end to his life, but in such
o way that his death would be reported as duo
to natural causes.
He bought fifteen grains of morphine and
went to the French Hospital to have n surgical
operation pcrformei. His plan was to take tho
morphine just before the operation. counting on
passing away while under tho influence Of
choroform. He had no opportunity, however.
to take the drug until after the operation.
He took the full fifteen grains just nfter an
attendant had given him q small dose ms q seda-
tive. His condition soon discovered, and
the doctors tried to save his life but failed.
Just before his death he recovered conscious.
