wife Of Gen. Robert Williams, was another

came the wife Of Gen. Eugene Carr Mad
cline Vinton became the wife of Admiral
Dahlgren. Emily Warren graduated from
this school and afterward married the re-

stone throughout The length and breadth
of the land. Mothers, daughters, sis
ters-Catflolic and non-Catholic-scat-
tered over the land, will always gratefully
and prayerfully remember the Mother Su-
periors and Sisters of this Convent, who
led them into right paths, supported by a
broader learning.
Among the women Of our country who
have become distinguished III the social
and official life Of the Nation, we find
many on the records OF the Convent.
Away back, before the trees in the Convent
grounds were large enough to make shade
or shadow, before our beloved country sat
in sackcloth and ashes for the loved ones
lost in civil strife, we find the names of
Harriet Lane (Johnson), Ellen and Their
esa Ewing, daughters of Tom Ewing, the
first Secretary of the Department of the
Interior. Ellen Ewing became the wife Of
Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, and
was married from the historic home No.
1851 Pennsylvania Avenue.
While Thomas Ewing was in President
Taylor's Cabinet as Secretary of the In
terror, he rented this house from Mont
gomery Blair, and Gen. Sherman, at that
time Lieutenant, was married to Miss
Ewing by Rev. James Rider, President of
Georgetown College.
It will also be remembered that "Cump''
Sherman, as he was known in those days,
was adopted by Thomas Ewing after his
father died.
Harriet Lane will be remembered as the
presiding genius Of the White House dur
ing President Buchanan's Administration,
and it has been said that never, since the
days of John Quincy Ad,~.7, had the Ex-
ecutive Mansion been presided over with
such elegance and grace. Miss Lane also
dispensed the hospitalilies Of the Ministe-
rial Mansion in Londcnfor her uncle when
Mr.. Buchanan was Minister 10 the Court
of St. James. This Republican Govern
ment was not compromised when this Ian
caster maiden. this alumna Of the Com
vent Of Visitation, became the cynosure for
every eye as First Lady Of the Land.

Last year covered 100 years since three
women from France, who had been driven
from their home at the time Of the Reign
of Terror, found a refuge in the United
States. Their names were Marie de la
Marche, Abbess of the Order of st. Clare;
Celeste La Blonde de Ia Rochefoucauld,
and Marie de St. LUc. These women es-
capped in disguise from France, and, upon
reaching America. found themselves with
out money and without friends in q strange
land.
Three years before some Jesuit Fathers
had obtained a charter from Congress, and
had laid the foundation of what is now
one of the large universities in the coun-
try, known as Georgetown College. This
was before Congress moved to Washing
ton, that the beautiful site was chosen for
the establishment of this seat of learning.
Through the friendship and good Offices
Of these Fathers, Madam de la Marche

Early in the century the women VINO
had been sowing the seed for this Con-
vent were reinforced by young Irish
girl, Miss Alice Lalor.
The Most Rev. Leonard Neale, Arch
bishop Of Baltimore, gave his sanction to
lhe founding of this Convent by the three
women named in 1893. The school pro-
Hressed until 1905. when the Abbess de la
Marche died. The following year Madam
de la Rochefoucauld sold the Convent TO
Archbishop Carroll. and returned to France,
baking with her Madam de st. Luc.
Miss Lalor had been the companion Of
Madam de la Rochefoucauld. She was a
girl of remarkable attainments. She was
beautiful in form and feature, vivacious in
manner, and estimable in character
Father Neale became the President Of
Georgetown College, and seeing Miss La
lor's great desire was TO consecrate herself
10 the work of education, he caused the
Convent property TO be transferred to her
and her companions, Miss McDermott and
Miss Neale, by deed dated June 8, 1903,
and from this dates the origin of the Wis
itation Nuns in the United States, the
membership Of which numbers hundreds,

In 1914 there were 13 Sisters in the Con
vent, bound together by the simple, sacred
VOWS of their Order. When we read of the
sacrifices they made, of the suffering they
endured, of the limitations their poverty
wrought, we honor them among women.
With beds of straw, scanty covering, limit
ed firewood, plainest of food, they cheer
fully did their duty as they saw it. One
wonders and marvels that women accus-
toned to the comforts and even the lux
uries of life could have lived through those
early years of distress and poverty, want
ing food, fire and raiment.
When other established Orders were
ready with open arms to welcome them,
what determination, what courage it must
have taken to hold fast, sowing the seed
in tears, but which they reaped in glad
ness in after years. The year 1914 not
only brought about the establishment of
this Religious Order, but it emphasized an
epoch in the country's history, and mark
edly in the Capital of the Nation. It was
the closing Of the war with Great Britain.
The Sisters on August "a were startled by

a battle had been fought over the hill six
miles away, at Bladensburg. The British
were victorious, the Americans were put
to rout, and every man was his own Cen
eral as they came rushing pell-mell back
to the Capital. The Sisters drew together
in the upper rooms and in dismay watched
from the dormer window the devastation
going on three miles away. With sorrow
and heart-burning they saw the Capitol,
the White House, the Postoffice and the
Treasury Department burn, and most nat
urally waited in fear for their own safety
and that of the Convent. But all nights
Of horror have an end, and so did this.
Peace was restored, by 1916 the city was
rising from its ashes, and the new Order
had taken on a fresh baptism. From Old
Virginia manor houses, from Maryland,
from North and South Carolina the daugh-
ters gathered to be instructed in art, sci
ence, letters and accomplishments

Krasnoiarsk is not all as good as it loo ks.
1t is one of the most notorious centers of
crime III all Siberia, and violence is so
common that it is hardly noticed by the
townspeople. Hosts of exiled criminals
from European Russia have been dis
rounding the city for many years past.
The gold mines in the vicinity have helped
TO attract a lawless class, not only to work
in the mines, as is usually to some extent
the case, but to profit by robbery of those
who work and get the gold. Murders,
robberies and other crimes of violence are
of almost nightly occurrence. When dark
ness falls it is the signal 10 stay at home,
and except on nights when society func-
tons and entertainments draw the people
seen alone in the streets. The fear of
violence is ever present, and the people talk
about the latest crime as something of
interest, but in no way surprising.

Miss Lalor was known in the religious

for many years the Mother Superior.
When Miss Lalor had her work well in
