The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-01-21

| While Mrs. Howard Gould amuses her
self with the diversions of New York So
ciety and busies herself with the study
| OF Paris gowns, her sister finds boil
amusement and employment in the heart
| OF Chinatown in San Francisco.
| Miss Ella May Clemmons Is a mission
airy in Chinatown, and she is now en-
gagged in the work of rescue and educa-
| ton among Chinese women there. She
has opened Catholic mission, and has
already done a valuable work As she l.
very much In earnest she is sure to make
her enterprise success In every way.
Her mission is situated In the heart of
the narrow alleys that form the town.
1t has single window that overlooks
the shops, and in it she often sits look
ing out through the potted plants and
blooming geraniums on the sill, upon the
world In which she works. She does not
sit much, she is too jealous for that.
The tiny room is picturesquely dis
ordered with miscellaneous profusion
of pillows, photos, pictures, paintings and
curios; there are also books and papers
and Bible lies open beside an assert
ment of curious hieroglyphical Chinese
pamphlets.

said Miss Clemmons, "for the past
eighteen months, studying and working
by myself. 1 go out to teach in the even
ings. have two classes. you know, and
they are quite interesting enough to keep
me from being lonely.

Miss Clemmons. in answer to question
whether or not Mrs. Gould knew and ap-
proved of her work, nor does my
MOTHER they do not like my religion. 1t
has been two years since L became q
Catholic, and l have been alone since"
Miss Clemmons' mother is Mrs. Dayan.
of Palo Alto; before the second marriage
of Mrs. Dayan there was quiet and
happy little home-a nest among palms
and flowers, and Miss Clemmons lived
there with her mother; there were merry
little parties of guests from other places
and Miss Clemmons was much in demand
among social circles of neighboring cities.
There were receptions and teas, balls
and parties, and all that goes to make
up the gay responsibility Of society.
Then Miss Clemmons became interested
in Catholicism and was converted. There
was a hasty and final farewell to worldly
thoughts and the society lady of yester-
day was transformed into the student
and missionary of today.
Miss Clernmons has Travelled much, and
has wide circle of friends, both In
Europe and on this continent, but she
has put them all away for the pleasure
she finds in feeling herself a helpful fac
tor in the rescue and education of the
slaves and waits of San Francisco $
Chinatown.

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-01-21

When In residence at ST. Petersburg,
the Russian court inhabits the famous
Winter palace which is built along the
Neya, and is an ediice Of such colossal
extent that it is capable of quartering
5000 people-household officials and serv-
ants, guards, guests and their suites, etc.
But, though facing the Neva, on it's
north side, It's proper front may be said
to be towards the public square on the
south, with It's tall bronze and granite
column, surmounted by a huge black
winged Victory, in memory of Alexander
l., the antagonist Of Napoleon. Few vis-
itors ever cross this square and approach
the grand entrance to the Winter palace
without thinking of the nihilist explosion
that, originating in a vaulted chamber
under the guard room, which in turn is
Immediately under the banqueting hall,
was aimed at the life Of Alexander H.,
liberator Of the serfs, just about a year
before he was borne back to his apart
ments in this same palace MORALLY mu-
tilated in the most CHASTITY manner by the
bombs of the same malignant revolution
aries
These apartments are religiously pre-
served to this day in exactly the same
condition they were in when Alexander
H. breathed his last in them = and
Immediately next to them is the suite
of rooms tenanted by Nicholas H. and his
consort the present emperor and empress,

Nothing could be more striking than

for the country of his cousin, the Duke
of York, to whom he is so devoted, and
to whom, moreover, he bears so striking
a resemblance that on the occasion or
his marriage, the st. Petersburg press
announced that his majesty, in the most
fearless and winning manner, had gone
out shopping on the Nevski Prospect.
Nicholas II. has certainly shown that he
is very much less nervous about his per-
sonal safety than was his Nihilist-terror
lied father; but 1t would be a mistake to
