Many people proplesy that this

end with Mother Katharine's life; but
others, and I agree with them, feel
sure that such noble sacrifice as she
has made cannot go for nothing"

ment, in an incredibly short time had
ironed and CLOSED the garment as per-
fectly as it could have been done in
any first class laundry.
"'It takes ME only a few minutes
to iron a shirt like this she said, as
she held it out to the women. If you
cannot do your work as quickly and
as we'll you are not the class Of laun-

'The Drexel girls received the in,
come Of their fathers money only.
So, though Mother Katharine has
$1,000 a day. this must provide an en-
dowment for her converts as well as
their present support if the work is to
continue after her death. For this
reason the support Of the Indian
schools which were founded under the
patronage of the government is COIL
siderable burden upon her.
"When, some years ago, the govern
ment appropriation upon which these
schools had always depended was
suddenly withdrawn, word went forth
i'll the Catholic church that they must
be closed. Then Mother Katharine
said:
"'No, let the schools continue
Rather than have the splendid work
which they are accomplishing end, 1
will give the sum necessary for their
support until the church is able to
devise means of maintaining them.
'sSincc then she may be said to have
practically supported all these outside
schools. as well as those connected
with her converts. One year she gave
no less than $15O,OOO to their main
tenancc.
AT present there is an organization
known as the society for the Preserva-
tiOn of the Faith, which has been
started by the Catholics of America to
relieve Mother Katharine Of this ad-
ditional expense. BY each member
paying 25 cents annually it is thought
they will soon be able to raise the
entire sum required
with a reputation such as hers it
is not surprising that Mother Katha-
rinc is beset by beggars of all descrip-
tons. Crowds used actually to col
lcct at the railway stations to be-
seech her for aid, when it was known
that she was travelling over certain
route. Now, when going from one OF
her houses to another, she has to dis
guisc herself in order to escape an
noyance of the kind; and She is care
full never to let her movements be
known in advance.
'1Ier converts are of most pictllr-
csque design, being modelled after the
old mission houses Of Mexico, and the
work carried on in them is most inter-
esting
"AIother Katharine is of medium
height. She is slender and graceful.
Her hair is chestnut, and she has eX-
pressivc hazel eyes. Her face was al
ways full of interest, and since she
has become a religious it is so full
of sweetness and goodness as to be
quite lovely. Her manner, while dig
nified, is perfectly simple. She is
bright, cheerful and full of energy,
and, as said before, very intellectual.

ceive the veil, and she is not told un-
til the end of that time whether or
not she is acceptable.
''The convent at Cornwells is now
the mother house of the order, in
which the novices serve the period of
probation. With it is connected Holy
Providence House, an Industrial school
in which some two hundred colored
children are boarded, educated and
trained in practical pursuits by the
nuns
1.-The colored children were an after
thought with Mother Katharine. 1t
is said she added them to the Indians
because they also were suffering from
the injustice of the white race, and
because work among them was par
ticularly disagreeable to her, and she
saw in it a special means of mortifica-
ton.
'The convent which Mother Katha-
rine has built at Rockcastle, Va, is
also devoted to the care Of negroes.
Her Indian schools are all in the West.
All are industrial institutions, where
many different trades are taught. and
all are entirely undenominational.
"The colored children are mostly
foundlings and orphans from the most
destitute districts Of the South, and
the boys and girls are received to-
gether in early childhood. When the
boys reach the age of - they are sent
to institutions where they will be un-
der the care of men, but the girls may
remain under the guidance of the
nuns until they are 20.
Mother Katharine shows her good
sense i'll training the colored girls for
domestic work. They are turned out
expert in every branch of household
economy, and she has no trouble in
finding good places for them as soon
as their education is finished.
''It will be seen from all this that
the training which Katharine DreXeI
received from her mother has stood
her in good stead in her life's work.
She could scarcely have conducted
such schools as hers without it.
"From story which is told of Mrs.
Morrell. it would seem that she also
has had reason to thank her mother
for the practical side Of her education.
Mrs. Morrell, so the story goes, one
day visited home for orphan boys in
which she was greatly interested.
"In the course of her inspection she
entered the laundry, where the boys
shirts were being done up in a care
less manner, the laundresses evident
ly thinking that they need not be
particular how they ironed shirts for
the inmates of charitable institu-
ton.
''Mrs. Morrell at once called their
attention to the inferior work, and
the women explained that with so
many shirts to iron they could not
take more time OF trouble with them.
They thought that they could easily
impose upon a wealthy society woman
like Mrs. Morrell with this excuse.
Mrs. Morrell did not waste time in
argument. Quietly she bade the
women put their irons aside and watch
her. Then she took off her wraps, put
on an apron, selected an iron and an
unironed shirt, and, to their amaze

TO MEET TORPEDO ATTACK.
Plan Adopted to Make Battle Ships
More Secure.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, October 1S.-A London
cable dispatch says: On account of the sue
cess of the Japanese torpedo craft in the
war with Russia England is attempting to
make her new battle ships proof against
has been adopted 1t consists of a novel
development of a double bottom In all eX-
listing battle ships this double bottom ex-
tends the whole length of the ship, and is
carried in armored vessels to the height of
the lower edge of the armor betting, which
rests upon its shoulders The distance be-
tween the inner and outer skin has hereto
fore been only few inches. Watts hopes
that by building an inner wall of stouter
plating, and allowing a considerable space
between it and the outer bilge of the ship,
the explosion of torpedo outside the ves-
sci will not suffice to fracture both SKINS
To minimize the risk of this still further 1t
is intended to fill the intervening space be-
tween the inner and outer walls with loose
material that will take up much of the
conclusion. longitude bulkhead will run
fore and aft some little distance inside the
shell plating, and this is expected to offer
effectual resistance to the explosion of
torpedo on impact with the outer wall.
1t will Furthermore exclude any thrush OF
water into the interior. The walls of the
magazines are to be very much more mas
sive than in any preceding type. This is due
to the fact that in some of the Russian
warships the magazine walls have split in
action At the same time the primary arma-
ment is to be mounted as high as possible.

THE TIBETAN INDEMNITY.
Terms Demanded by British-China's
Opposition.

LONDON, October 1s.-The demand OF
Great Britain of an indemnity of $3,75OOOO
from the Tibetans appears likely to lead to
a prolonged British occupation of the
Chumbi valley. The Tibetans declared
their inability to pay the indemnity within
the three years first stipulated, and Great
Britain has now proposed that the pay
ments be made az the rate of $4,000 yearly
and that until the whole sum is paid the
British retain possession of this valley,
which is the key to Tibet.
The Tibetans are said to approve of the
proposal, but China's opposition to the rat
ification of the treaty is increasing, caus-
ing fears that the Dalai Lama and his
Russian associate may be induced to re-
turn to Lhassa and upset the British cal

Representative John Dalzell of Pennsyl-

with the President yesterday. Mr.. Dalzell has
been making speeches for the republican
party, and sees nothing but the brightest
prospects. Il have been in Ohio, West
Virginia, Connecticut, Rhode Island and
New Jersey remarked Mr.. Dalzell, land
everywhere is the same sentiment, con-
tinuation Of the republican party in power
OF course, Ohio is certain. West Virginia
will undoubtedly go republican by safe
majority. AS to the state ticket, I cannot
speak with so much certainty. Connecticut
will give Roosevelt 1900 majority, New
Jersey as much, and Rhode Island will give
an unusually large majority. l think we
shall elect both representatives in Rhode
Island. and probably the governor. The
outlook Is good in every direction. l am
told by responsible persons that New York
will give large majority for Roosevelt.
Representative Dwight is much more out
spoken than Mr.. Dalzell regarding the en-
pire state. THE state Of New York has
been safe for Roosevelt for many weeks y
he declared. land I am now certain that
Higgins will be elected governor. The cam
paign grows better for the republicans each
day."
