Edward Flanagan, mate Ofthe Slocum,

Lutheran, and since then also has
eft the Roman Catholic communion.
The elder has been in bad health for
iome years.
Prominent members of the Roman
Catholic clergy in Washington eX-
pressed their surprise at the an
nouncement that the Marquise des
Monsters, formerly Miss NJ. G. Cald-
we'll ana the founder Of the Catholic
university at Washington had re-
nounced the Catholic faith. In fact,
they were loath to believe she had
formed such a determination.
Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, when
asked if he could assign any reason
for the Marquise des Monsters ac-
ton, he answered that he could not;
that he knew her only as a good
Roman Catholic, and until the an
nouncement was made had given no
thought otherwise. 1T is all a mys-
terry to me-" he said.
One official of the Roman Catholic
church attributed as a possible cause,
taking the story to be correct, the
notoriety which the university gained
by the failure of Thomas Z. Wagga-
man, its treasurer, by which the uni
versity suffered considerable flnan-
Cial loss.

ordinary butterflies and then sprink-

this process a very common butterfly

Main Building Roman Catholic Unlver sity.

described. She returned to New York
the next day.
Soon after reaching her majority,
Miss Caldwell, through her guardian,
Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, announced
to the Catholic hierarchy her inten-
ton of endowing the Catholic univer-
sity, and a council was held to con.
slider her offer.
Such a project long had been con.
sidered, but sufficient funds had never
been provided. Miss Caldwell donat-
ed the lightweight acres on the edge
of Washington, erected three of the
largest buildings, including Caldwell
hall, which is the largest of the pres
ent group, and provided for the main
tenance of the university for three
years. Her sister, the Baroness Won
Zeedwitz, gave Caldwell chapel to
the university.
For this service Pope Leo XIII.
bestowed upon Gwendolin Caldwell
diamond-studded medal, which he had
struck especially for her, and also
conferred the decoration of the Order
other woman ever has held.
The young heiress went to Italy in
1887, and there met Prince Murat,
who was thirty-thTee years the senior
of Miss Caldwell, and deeply in debt.
He was the grandson of Murat, king
of Naples, and of Caroline, sister of
Napoleon l.
After their engagement was an
nounced preparations for regal we'd
ding were made, a trousseau fit for a
queen secured, and the day for the
ceremony set.
The day before the marriage the
prince and his legal representative
and Miss Caldwell and her attorneys
met to arrange the antenuptial con-
tract. The prince insisted upon the
control Of the fortune. Miss Caldwell
refused this. Then he offered to take
half of it. This the American girl
refused, saying that she had intended
settling $4,000 a year upon her hus-
band. The prince wanted more. Miss
Caldwell at once broke the engage
ment and returned to America.
Miss Caldwell, in 1892, announced
her engagement to the Marquis de
ers-Merinville. It was said to
be a love match. She was married
on October 10 of that year, the cere-
mony being performed by Bishop
Spalding. After her marriage the
marquise went to Paris to live and
her entertainments were notable
there. She spent much of her time in
charitable labors. Her health began
to fail two years ago. Since then she

The Sport of Killing.

The present revulsion from the kill
ing of animals for sport is an indica-
ton of the increasing delicacy of the
sensibility of the time. The thought
Of infiicting needless pain on any liv-
ing creature as a means of obtaining
pleasurable excitement has become
horrible. The animal has risen to a
new place Of dignity. 1t has become a
creature to which more consideration
is given. Besides, the whole tone of
modern society is Of a keener sensi-
bility. Pain in itself shocks the
nerves of the observer Of it. A. little
bird struggling in the agony caused
by a sportsman's bullet is likely to
stir in him a feeling of pity which
turns pleasure-seeking into mournful
self-accusation.

COL. D. r. ANTHONY DEAD
Famous Kansas Editor the Victim Of
Heart Disease.

Col. D. R. Anthony, the noted editor
of the Leavenworth Times and broth
err of Miss Susan B. Anthony, the
woman suffragist, died at his home
at Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. -, of
heart disease. He was so years old.
He had served both as mayor and
postmaster of Leavenworth, as a
member of the Kansas. legislature,
and in 1886 was made a government
director of the Union Pacific railroad.
Col Anthony had a noteworthy ca
reer filled with stirring incident. His
body was covered with scars, traces
of wounds received in combat with
his enemies, for Col. Anthony was as
much at home with the revolver as
with the pen. He was the hero Of a
hundred battles during the early days
of the state, when Kansas was on the
frontier and men held life at little
value. Col. Anthony went to Leaven-
worth in 1853. Almost on the day of
his arrival he attended a Free Soil"
meeting, and made an address that
astounded the followers Of John
Brown and the men engaged IN nght-
ing the border ruffians. An attempt
was made to kill him that night, but
the young easterner returned the fire
with such interest that one Of his as
sailants nearly lost his life.
On May 10, 1875, rival editor, an
gered at Col. Anthony's merger
schemes, confronted him as he was
entering the opera house and fired on
him at close range. One Of the bull.
lets entered Col. Anthony's body near
the heart, and his recovery was con-
sidered marvellous.
In the civil war Col. Anthony
helped to raise and was made a lieu
tenant in the First Kansas Cavalry.
He was promoted by degrees to col
onel, and distinguished himself in the

ideas: Il die in full confidence of a
divine power who made and controls
the universe. Whatever was made by
that divine power is perfect and re-

WOMAN ACTIVE IN POLITICS.
Mrs. Sarah Foster stumped Entire
State Of Idaho.

No campaigning done by women
anywhere this fall-and mighty little
done by men-compares with the rec
ord made in Idaho by Mrs. Sarah Fos-
ter, president Of the Woman's Nation
al Republican association. In a can
vas-covered prairie wagon she plunged
across the country by day or night
it mattered not to her-stumping the
state for Roosevelt. From one mining
town to another she went, speaking
fifteen minutes here or twenty min
utes there, as the case might me. Then
she was on the road again. Some
times Mrs. Foster enjoyed the luxury
Of a real bed in a real house, but
more often it was pine board in a
miners shack, where a curtain was
strung up to divide the mems and
woman's uarters. One morning she
held a bit of mirror for the party
candidate for assembly to shave by,
after which he in turn held it for her
to do up her hair.
