INDIAN SISTERS SENT HOME.
ORDERED AWAY FROM CUBA BY
ARCHBISHOP CHAPPELLE.

Father Craft Says IL Was Done on
Account of the old Hatred Against
the Indian sisters of the order of
Sacred Hcnrt-They Are the Sis
tiers Who Nursed the Sick of the
seventh Army Corps While in
savannah.
Baltimore, March 14-Five sisters of the
American Order of the Sacred Heart have.
according to a dispatch from Pinar del
Rio, been ordered away from Cuba by
Archbishop Chappelle, the papal represent
alive recently appointed to investigate the
affairs of the Catholic Church in that ISL
and.
The news was received by cable In this
city by Gen. James r. O'Bierne of New
York, who is registered ~ the Hotel Rem
merit. The message came from Rev. J.
NJ Craft, an Indian missionary priest,
who founded the American order of the
sisters. and went 10 Cuba last November
with the five nuns, who are all daughters
of the Indian chiefs.
The cablegram, which came in Latin,
was thus translated by Gen. O'Bierne:
Archbishop Chappelle orders us to go
away from here, on account of the old
hatred against the Qndian) sisters. have
written you about it."
Father Crafts reference TO the old
hatred against the Indian sisters means
just this" said the general. THE order
is purely American and was established
near Fort Pierre, on the Dakota border.
about six years ago. The Cahensly ele-
in ba or those hO iF,
favor of the European idea In the manage
ment of orders and church AFFAIRS, antag-
onized Father Crafts work in establish
ing this new order, and he met with much
opposition. He went bravely on with his
undertaking, however, and when the war
with Spain broke out, offered the services
of a number of the young Indian sisters
TO the government.
"As an old friend of the missionary
priest, 1 went to the Secretary of War
and succeeded in getting the sisters sent
to nurse in the hospitals at Tampa and
Huntsville. Later on owing to the ex-
cellent work they did, and the fact that
they were considered immune from yellow
fever, five of the sisters were sent to Cuba
and were located with the First Division
hospital of the Seventh Army Corps at
Pinar del Rio.
"All through the yellow fever epidemics
in the Cuban camps the sisters worked
admirably, ana toisfnbsoown knowledge
were complimented by the department for
their excellent work. They were all the
time under the direction of Father Craft,
who accompanied them. They had met
with considerable hostility from the I'M
American element in the church, and the
opposition to this new American order of
sisters became very marked. Nothing
like the present move was, however, ex-
pected.'

TWO MURDERERs REspITED.
Gov. Gambler Acts at the Request of
the Supreme Court.


Atlanta, Ca, March 14.-Gov. Gambler
granted respites of thirty days to the two
wilkes county murderers, Fred Perry and
William Tay.or, who were sentenced to
hang March "a.
The respite, which is the second granted
In the case of the Wilkes county prisoners.
was ordered to-day at the special request
of the Supreme Court, which desires more
time for the consideration of the case.
The two negroes, Perry and, Taylor, are
charged with numbering a convict guard,
and on that charge they were convicted
in the Superior Court before Judge Reese.
"A bill of exceptions was presented 10
Judge Reese, which he refused 90 sign,
and the attorneys are asking for a man
damus compelling the judge to sign the bill
of exceptions. Argument in both cases
was heard by the Supreme Court the first
OF the week
Hitherto it has been the practice of the
court to grant a mandamus compelling the
signing of bills of exceptions only when IL
appeared that there was merit in the bill
and the order which was issued by the
court to-day indicated that there may be
a change in this practice, This order
calls on the counsel for the condemned
men to make further argument and file
additional briefs before March IT, In or
der to hear the case therefore, at the
time set by the court for the filing of adj
ditional briefs. it will be necessary for
Gov Gambler to grant a respite, which
the court requested him 20 do.

But that wasn't the end of the matter
by any means. The talk" which an wo-
mems clubs expect from their guests was
IN this instance brief. but very much to
the point. The speaker was 70 have talk
ed on art, according to the request OF the
ladies', but he soon wandered from that
topic to the subject of womens clubs
Briefly, his sentiments appeared 10 he that
womens clubs didn't amount TO very
much, that the incest women didn't pine
to join them, and that as far as he knew
neither the women themselves nor the
World outside was any the better for them.
Then he announced that personally he
didnt like 10 see a woman doing any
thing outside of her home and her church
ana society. He said that he was born

mans place was with her foot on the
rocker Of the cradle.
The reception followed the talk, as had
been promised, and most Of the women
shook hands with Mr.. Smith and laughed
and joked about his remarks. But he had
heard from 1t 10 this very day. That af-
ternoon there was an ominous murmur of
voices from the groups which formed in
the corners.

relative was an old grandfather whose last

But II was the remark about the cradle
which elected the most lively comments

that my big boy Bob wouldn't drop his
foot ball team and stay at home TO be
rocked In the cradle"
My husband" said a young doctors
wife, would turn me out of the nursery
II / rocked the baby in cradle. Babies are

AS for the unmarried members who really
couldn't be expected to make a living out
OF rocking necessarily empty cradles and
the women who would have gladly rocked
cradle instead of carrying flowers to some
little grave. they probably thought more
than they said. Altogether, there were
tempestuous emotions seething in tbat
woman's club for weeks after that. Maybe
this fact would surprise Mr.. Smith, who
intended his remarks as expressive OF a
personal preference applicable TO general
affairs. His surprise over the way they
were received in some quarters would
probably be much less than his delight in
the explanation offered by certain of the
good women present.
Well" said one OF them, IT wouldn't
take IT 100 seriously. He probably didn't
