A CORRECTION.

An awful bad mistake crept into
our editorial last week about George
De Witt, the able and accomplished
secretary of the Society of the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals. We
meant 10 say that he was "a friend
of the right sort to the workhorse, "
but our typo read 1t "a fiend OF the
night sent to the workhouse."
We are dreadful sorry about 1t. but
the editor and proprietor of great
newspaper like The Amsterdamer can't
always take time from his other
duties to write slow and plain. Be-
sides. our press was out Of killer and
we had to do the feeding while The
typo and the boy turned.
Later-Our typo has had the other
glass put in his spectacles and We
guess we won't make another mistake
like that.-Weekly Amsterdamer.

anda.
This is the house in which many Of
the society women will seek shelter
during Lent. Some will stop a few
days, others will stop a week and
more will remain longer. In fashion
able parlance 1t is called The Retreat.
1t is managed by nuns of the Roman
Catholic church, but its guests in
clude Methodists, Baptists, Presby-
terians, Congregationalists, Episcopa-
lians, as we'll as Romanists. All de-
nominations and creeds are welcome
and there are more Episcopalians who
take advantage of it than Roman
Catholics.
st. Regis house was established for
the very purpose of receiving women
in non-sectarian way and giving
them religious instruction and
bringing them under religious indu-
ence. The Sisters of Our Lady of the
Cenacle established the Retreat three
years ago and much of its success is
due to the Reverend Mother Grimaldi,
who controls its affairs.
This mother superior Is a remark
able woman. She Is little past mid
die age, rather short and somewhat
portly, with the kindest face in the
world and blue-gray eyes that inspire
confidence and trust. Her manners
are charming, and her voice Is sweet.
She speaks softly and earnestly and
her words are always beautifully
chosen. French is her native Ian
guage, but she speaks English fuently,
with just trace Of an accent that
only adds to the charm Of her speech.
OF high birth, as are all her sisters Of
the institute, the Mother Superior at
once appears the ge .lewoman.
She freely outlined the purposes OF
the Retreat when asked about them.

Ladies Of the Retreat. aspire to follow

Il rentell Retreat.

With the coming of Lent a number
OF fashionable women will disappear
from the gilded circle in which they
shine from one years end to another.
These women will not go to shut
themselves up in their own homes
They will be simply following a new
fashion. And volumes could be
written in favor of this new departure
without exhausting the subject. for II
teaches humility and wisdom of non
worldly character, and gives these So
ciety butterflies glimpse of a life
entirely different from their own
where show, pomp, display and in
sincerity are the ruling factors. Per-
haps it is the novelty which attracts
them. but those who know best say
that 1t is something more enduring
than that

queen of Apostles, and of the holy
women who gathered around her. and
to employ themselves in the extension
OF the kingdom of Christ as far as lies
within their power. This aim they
seek to accomplish first by attending
to the salvation and perfection OF their
own souls, and next by procuring the
salvation and perfection of their
neighbors by spiritual retreats, by
teaching catechism or by any other
means which Divine Providence may
place at their command. Prayer be-
ing most efficacious means, it is
customary in the houses of these
sisters to have perpetual alteration OF
the Blessed Sacrament, whether ex-
posed on the altar or inclosed in the
tabernacle. Pious souls are invited
to join in this alteration, each taking
an hour or half hours alteration
once or twice week and praying in o
special manner for the Holy Father
for the Bishop and the clergy of the
! diocese. Then the Retreat offers
other means. Some of these are pub
lie and given at certain intervals to al
classes of persons, as, for instance
school children, first communicates
girls employed in factories, teachers
young ladies and Christian mothers
Others are private retreats and las
from three to eight days. Those who
attend either kind of retreat may re.

LIFE IN THE DEEP SEA.
Investigation Now Being Made on the
West Coast of Ireland

An expedition left London a short
time ago the object of which was to
investigate a most important problem
regarding the distribution of life in
the sea. 1t used to be believed that
the ocean depths were tenantless,
and that all life was confined to the
shallow surface belt; but this idea
had to be abandoned even before the
Challenger went on her memorable
voyage of scientific research. Next
the idea was mooted that the oceanic
fauna was confined to the surface and
bottom belts, separated by an inter-
mediate zone of barrenness. During
the Challenger expedition it was found
that If the depth at which the surface
nets We're towed was increased new
animals were inclosed in their meshes,
an observation which pointed to the
probability of life at all depths. The
Investigations now in progress are
designed to settle this important
point.
The Oceana, fitted with deep-sea
gear and every modern appliance, is at
work off the west coast of Ireland. 1t
was intended that extended observa-
tons should be made with a chain of
tow nets, the length of which would
be gradually increased until a depth
of 1000 fathoms was reached. Ex-
periments were also devised with nets
of self opening and closing nature,
so that samples of life at different
depths could thus be secured. 1t was
also intended to conduct experiments
with a deep-sea trawl The expedition
was fitted out at the expense of the
Royal Geographical society and the
Diapers and Fishmongers' compa-

Referring to the non-sectarian
features of the Retreat she said
This retreat is not only for tie
faithful OF our own religion, but for
all women who care to come. To
hold retreat OF this character It was
necessary to first obtain special per-
mission from the Archbishop OF Ine
diocese. archbishop Corrigan grant
ed the request, and as a result we have
with us now from fifteen to twenty
Protestants who have ayailed them
selves of this opportunity to live in an
atmosphere that will give them
greater facility for determination
for prayer and for the CONSIDERATION
OF spiritual affairs than can be found
while harassed by the everyday tolls
and worries"

house Is the same, be she poor or rich,
and while there Is no coercion, each
guest Is expected to comply with re
regulations. The rising bell rings

this service the guests do az they

sectarian kind is given by a priest
from some neighboring parish. treat

MY VALENTINE

Ny lady, with an old-time grace.
Sends me valentine today,
A miniature of her dear face
With eyes so true and wondrous

All. lady mine, the world grows old,
And mems hearts steel with care and

And in the race for fame and gold
There's little time for love or life.
And yet, ambitions but :. name,
And gold, it's but the miser's sign;
L envy no man wealth or fame
While you are my true valentine.

William Towers, a Cherokee cit.
izen living four miles south of Pry.
or Creek, cut his wlfe's throat yes
terday and then shot himself twice
with a winchester. The family
consisted of several children, one
of which was buried the preceding
day. To this fact is ascribed the
cause of the mans terrible deed.
Earlier in the morning a son near
ly grown was sent to town by his
father and it is understood left
home reluctantly. Some time be-
fore noon Towers got another child,
little girl about seven years old,
out of the way on some pretext.
and entering 4 room where his wife
was asked her if she was ready to
join their baby, at the same time
drawing a large knife, which he
had previously sharpened upon a
rock outside the door, from his
pocket. The child, who was out
side the door, heard the scuffle and
then two shots were heard. The
man had placed the gun to his
breast and fired, but The missile,
while it went through his body,
missed the heart. A second shot
reached the vital spot and death
was instantaneous.
Word was brought to Pryor
Creek about noon and number of
persons at once went to the scene
of the tragedy, among them DR.. j.
E. Bristow The woman's throat
was horribly cut, but strange to
say, she had lived for an hour or
SO, Though was dead when the ply
sician reached there. Mr.. Towers
was in comfortable circumstances
and stood high in the estimation of
the community. No explanation
of his act is given, or can be, other
than the dethronement of reason,
caused by the death of their child.
Upon the person of the self-mur-
dered man was found letter ad-
dressed to w. 7. Whitaker, in
which he asked that his children
be cared for and the affairs of his
estate be settled. 1t is also re-
ported that other causes for his
rash act were set forth in the let
ter, but what they were it is inn
possible to learn.
There is great deal of excite
ment and the whole community is
bowed with grief over the occur
renee. Mayor Burlington, of this
city, knew the deceased very we'll
indeed, having lived neighbor TO
him in Goingsnake district a good
many years.
