them for six weeks until homes could be found for them. She was told by the police afterward that 1t was without doubt due to her action there, And dii5ng fiS fesl of the fire sufferers, that bread riot was prevented. In 1892 she opened her home for friendless girls in St. Paul, under the au- thority of Archbishop Ireland, and later, in little Minnesota town, became the head of a sisterhood, where she lived for two years.
 Between the carrying out of these pro jects she was abroad diligently studying art. She spent three years at the Julian school and a winter in Rome. Last year, when she was in Paris, she attracted the attention of Bouguereau, and became the friend of Miss Gardner, of Boston, with whom his romantic marriage was the talk of Paris. Now she is much at their home in Paris, and a corner of the great mas ter's atalier is also her studio. While she has no conspicuous successes in her art she has excellent standing among the Americans in the Paris and Rome art col onies.
 Miss Schley's three sisters, the Misses Sibyl and Nellie Schley and Mrs. Thomas Mercein, are very prominent socially in Milwaukee. They are all members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and Mrs. Mercein is president of the Wisconsin Colonial Danes.

WAR ON SPEAKER REED
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
 A sharp political fight is brewing in the First congressional district of Maine, now represented by Thomas B. Reed, who was speaker of the last house of representatives. The district has been so strongly repub- lican that 1t may seem to be presumptuous even to attempt to return a democrat in MT. Reeds place.
 In 1896 MT Reed was elected by plu- rality of 1O,592, although there were three other candidates in the field: but it is evil
 dent in that year MT. Reed had some help
 | at the polls. In 1892 MT. Reeds plurality
 was GIT; in 1894 it was S,1Sf, and the claim
 l is made that at the last congressional cleo
 | ton he had the assistance of several hum | dred "gold democrats" whc voted for him | on the financial issue, although the dem- ocratic vote fell off only about 100 votes be- is to be made to defeat MT Reed, and for that purpose the opposition has centered
 | upon l.. F. Mckinney, who once repre- scented New Hampshire district and was the American minister to Colombia in MT. Clevelands second term.
 Mckinney has already been nominated and proposes to make a vigorous struggle for the election, while the republican con
 vention will not be held until August. The democrats count much on the difficulty MT. Reed will have in standing upon the plat form which will be adopted, although it is
 not easy to formulate a republican declar- ation that Mr. Reed would have any difh- culty in ndorsing. The assumption is that at the convention the annexation of Ha- waii will be indorsed and the war sanc- tioned, both of which Mr. Reed, as speaker of the house and as member of that body, opposed with all the ability and power he possessed. Regarding the union of Hawaii
 he was forced to yield but refused to cast
 his vote for the Newlands resolutions. It | is hardly to be supposed that MT. Reed
 many services of his party will be forgotten

than she began to express distaste TOT it. She wanted her life, she said, to be one of usefulness, and the life of society woman she declared to be unsupportable.
 Suddenly, in the height of the season fol- lowing her debut, she left Richmond and went to Milwaukee, announcing her in tention of entering a Roman Catholic con- vent. This she carried cut, becoming novice at the Convent of the Sacred Heart. Her health, however, obliged her to leave. She then started an educational movement, which was also philanthrophical; she opened two schools for poor children, which she carried on at her own expense. From her home, which is luxurious one on a fashionable street, she used every morning to walk at daylight, before the electric cars were running, to her school, almost in the outskirts of the city. Her friends regarded her as freakish and un- accountable, and even her family did not wholly approve of her course.
 Quite undaunted however, when the schools were successful enough to be placed in other hands, she started a project for poor relief, establishing soup Kitchens in various portions of the city, going among the frequenters and ministering to them herself, frequently serving them at meal time After famous Third ward fire in Milwaukee, she gathered party of women and children in a room down town and fed

Something of Miss Schley's Life.

Miss Jessie Schley, the young cousin or Commodore Schley, who has been dlstin- gushing herself in a somewhat bizarre way is now undergoing the sharp criticlsms that always attend failures, no matter what motive underlies the mission. The recent escapades of this young woman which reached its climax in the gay Span ish capital has furnished another war story and given a most unnecessary noto- riety to an American girl whose only fault lay in a desire to open little private negotiations with the authorities to bring about peace. Unlike the war-spirit of Joan of Orleans and Maria Theresa, this young American wanted peace. She was one of the leading women in Paris who were members of the Paris Peace society and when she went to Madrid on her peace mis- sion it is said she carried with her peti- tion signed by thousands of prominent French and English and American women now in Paris urging that the war would be brought to a close.
 The queen regent refused to receive her, which was not a matter of any surprise, but the affair has naturally been given a great deal of publicity through Miss Schleys connection with so prominent an American family. This jaunt into Spain, however, which is regarded as a reflection upon this government, and a violation or the law of congress in regard to individ- uals medding with diplomatic affairs with foreign nations, is not worthy of any pen alty that this government might inflict. The matter has already been given undue prominence and the very undignifed posi- tion of the young woman in the eyes of the world makes the question not one to be settled by congress, but question that ought to have been dealt with assiduously in the young woman's own household.
 The story of her life is told as follows:
 Miss Schley Is a second cousin of Com- modore Schley. When she was introduced to society in Richmond, Va, on leaving school, the most brilliant social successes were predicted for her. She was beautiful a decided blonde, greaty.acccmplished, and with a singular charm of manner, which made her at once a social favorite. She had no sooner entered society, however,
