membered From This Country.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Gen. Joseph
Wheeler, in a letter to Miss Fannie
Wheelan, a prominent Catholic of this
city, has set on foot movement to aid
the poor churches of the Philippine and
Ladrone islands. In this letter General
Wheeler says:
During my recent visit to the Phil
ippines and the Ladrones I was much
impressed with the great devotion Of
the women, and it occurred to me that
it would be graceful thing for the
Catholic WON en- of our country to show
their appreciation of the piety of their
sisters Of the East in some substantial
way.
''While on the island of Guam, where
there are six churches, I inquired what
would be the most acceptable present,
and was informed that the churches,
which are very similar to cur small
country churches, need stations Of the
cross" y
Miss Wheelan is associated with Mrs.
Thomas F. Ryan of New York in the
work for poor churches Of the United
States Tabernacle society, the object of
which is to furnish necessary articles
for churches which are too poor to pro-
cure them. Their work has been chiefly
with the Indian missions.
