being a theatrical manager in England,
settled in Richmond, Va, and eventual

houses i'll Chicago, st. Louis, Mobile
and other cities. He married Miss

beauty, sister of John c. Breckinridge.

States.
The marquise's parents We're convert
ed to the Roman Catholic church after
the war, and Mary Gwendolin and her
sister Lena were educated at a convent
In Washington. Soon after joining the
church MIR. Caldwell founded a hospital
for the Sisters of Charity and a home
for the aged under the charge of the
Little Sisters of the Poor. Both sisters
came into possession, in 1856, of the
large estate, estimated at 50. OoO, 600, left
by their father, who died in 1879.
Gives to University.
While travelling in Europe in 1887.
Miss Caldwell became interested in uni
versity work, and upon her return to
America offered h council of Balti-
more $500, 900 to start the divinity school
of the proposed Catholic university at
Washington. Since that time she has
given many additional thousands to the
institution, including one gift of $40. 900

parents.
Soon after the founding of the uni
versity the Caldwell sisters took a fash
ionable residence in Washington, being
chaperoned by their aunt. Mrs. E. D.
Donnelfy. They entertained royalty
and had no end of s%uitors, including,
as was said, most of the unmarried Dip
lomats. Their ready wit and gracious
and the fact that they We're
great heiresses gave them a high social
position, but at that time single bless
edness had for the sisters all the
charms of life.
Engaged to Prince.
A few years later, however, Mary
Gwendolin Caldwell just missed becom-
Ing a princess. The wedding day had
set and the brides trosseau was
In readiness, and Bishop Spalding, then
of Louisville, now Of Peoria, was in
French capital to celebrate the
rites which were to make her
spouse of Prince Joachim Murat
But Miss Caldwell would not

100000 with which to settle his debts |
and al income of 100000 a year.
She said that she should keen con-
troll of her fortune after her marriage
and allow her husband enough for
clothes and club dues. To these terms
prince would not agree, and the
was declared off.
Married to Marquis.
A few years later she met the Mar

trustees of the Catholic University of
America has authorized an official in
quiry into the circumstances under
which the Marquise Des Monsters
MARY Gwendolin Caldwcl) issued her
statement renouncil g the Catholic
faith. No formal communication con
corning her action has beer received
by the board.
Washington, Nov. 19.-Bishop Spald-
Ing of Peoria, a kinsman Of Marquise
Des Monsters, who after giving a for
tune to help found the Catholic uni
Nersity in this city, a renowned the
Catholic faith, reached Washington to
attend a meeting of the hierarchy of
the church to be held at the Catholic
university, which the marquise while
Miss Caldwell did so much to estab-
lish.
Bishop Spalding has exercised a sort
OF guardianship or trusteeship over the
marquise, and is probably more fa-
miliar with her affairs than anyone
else connected with the church. He
positively declined to discuss In any
way the statement which the marquise
has given out concerning her repudia-
ton of the Roman Catholic creed. He
intimated that he might at some SUBJ
~ Va AiNS SolllellllllS W say.
1T is all a mystery to me-" said the
bishop.
Prominent members of the Roman
Catholic clergy in Washington ex-
pressed their surprise at the nou
ment made for the marquise. In fact,
they We're loath to believe she had
ormed a determination to renounce
the statement would not be accepted as
true, but in order to satisfy himself on
the subject Rector O'Connell last night
cabled Rome for information.
One church official suggested as a
possible cause the notoriety which the
university gained by the failure of
Thomas Il. Waggaman, its treasurer,
ny which the university suffered con-
siderable loss.
The marquise for some time made her
home in this city, and was we'll known
here.
Given Laetare Medal.
In 1889 she was given the Laetare
medal by Notre Dame university. an
honor bestowed each year upon some
lay person in the United States in rec
osnition Of distinguished services rem
dered for religion, education or morals.
This, however, was not the first honor
that Miss Caldwell had received from
the church. At the laying of the corner
stone of the first building Of the Cath
Ollie university at Washington, for the
founding of which she gave $500, 900,
she was decorated With a gold medal
sent to her by Pope Leo. The medal
was accompanied with a letter from
the pontiff. in which he praised her
beneficence and expressed the gratitude
of the church for her generous gift.
MISS Caldwell was the third woman
TO RECEIVE the Laetare medal since the
custom presenting it vas instituted in
1888. The other women who received it

MISSOURI A NEWS.
Executive Proclamation.

Gov. A. NJ. Dockery has issued The
following proclamation for the observ-
ance of Missouri day, June 3, when the
Missouri building will be dedicated:
The peaceable requirement by the
United States, from the Emperor Ma
poleon, of the vast domain known as the
Louisiana Purchase is without precedent
in American history.
In extent of area, variety OF climate
and the scope and wealth of its resources,
II stands unrivaled. II more than doubled
the original area of the republic, made
certain the annexation of Texas, and the
acquisition of other territory, which
has carried GU. flag to the Pacific, and
finally extended the power of this gov
rnmen to the eastern hemisphere.
out of this acquisition, so %aftiuent in
diversified and Opulent resources, has
of Missouri. Within her borders lies the
enterprising and growing city of st.
Louis, the largest municipality of the
Louisiana purchase. Hence, it is peculi-
arIy appropriate that the surprising cen
tennial exposition. in commemoration of
the treaty signed by Jefferson and Ma
poleon, should be held in the chief met
ropolitan city of the Purchase.
The people of this commonwealth have
given of their abundant wealth 81, co., 600
to establish our guests and make a suita-
BILE display of our resources.
The exhibits of the state will be fully
installed, and the beautiful structure
known as the Missouri building COM
pleted, in every detail, during the next
week. 1t has been thought proper by
the state commission to formally dedicate
the imposing edifice on the third day
of June next. All Missourians are in
vited to meet in st. Louis on that aus
picious occasion and take part in the
dedicatory exercises. Missourians are
proud of their state and glory in her de.
velopment and wondrous achievements.
81 therefore. respectfully urge all the
people, so far as may be practicable, tic
accept the invitation of the Missouri com.
mission to be present at the dedication
and lend the encouragement of their in
spring presence
