RICH GIRL
Quits life of Luxury FOR
Order of Poor
Ctares

Following the example Of her
sister, a Chicago girl has turned
from the world of luxury that could
have been hers through the album
dant means Of her father, and has
entered the strictest female order OF
the Roman Catholic church in exist
ence-the Poor Clare Colettines,
whose convent is at Fifty-third and
Latin streets, Chicago Both OF the
young women, who. were invested In
the habit only six months apart,
we're educated highly and had trav-
eled much, both in Europe and
America. Miss Mary Kemper took
the final VOWS and passed through
the triple doors OF the convent into
her self-chosen life of extreme
austerity on Thursday. Her sister
Cecilia, twenty years of age and
four years younger than Mary, had
donned the habit June 20 last. Both
young women are the daughters OF
William Kemper, President Of
Kemper Bros, wholesale dealers in
feed supplies at 1855 North Halsted
street. Mr.. Kemper is large
owner of real estate.
Ia accordance with the rules of
the order they have Joined, the Sis
tiers will devote most of their days
and much of each night to prayer in
solitude: they will abstain entirely
from meat and all dellcacies; they
will wear neither shoes nor stock
ings, seldom will converse, and vol
UNFAIRLY will endure many other
austerities. Rising at o'clock each
morning, their prayers will be for
the city of Chicago, it being Gus
tomary for the nuns to pray for the
municipality in which their own
convent is located. During the
months of their novitiate 1t was
kept from the remaining members
the community thats the two young
women were sisters. Cecilia KEN
per was a graduate of the Chicago
Conservatory of Music. Mary be-
gan her novitiate directly after she
had returned from a trip to Europe,
in which she visited many sacred
shrines.
The ceremony by which Miss Mary
Kemper Joined the order was rem
dered still more exceptional by the
fact that her brother, the Rev. II. M.
Kemper, who had been ordained
three weeks previously by Arch
bishop Quigley, acted as deacon and
delivered the sermon. He took for
his text 81 will lead her into soli-
tude and will speak to her heart
and she shall stay there ac-
cording to the days of her youth. :"
He dwelt on the misconceptions of
the contemplatiye life, advocating
its value for both the individual and
humenity in general. After the
ceremonies in the chapel of the
convent a procession in which was
Father Becker, of the German I'M
maculate Conception church, led the
way to the triple door Enclosure,
where the Rev. Mother Abbess
Coletta and all her community well
coined the happy candidate as Sister
Mary Agnes, Her sister Anna acted
as bridemaid.
both Mary and Anna Kemper en-
tered the order of Poor Clares as the
result of their natural religious in
clinations," said Albert ]. Kemper,
brother of the young women's father
and member of the firm of Kem-
per Bros Neither of them was
impelled by great sorrow. Their
course had the approval of their
parents, both of whom, as also other
relatives, were present at the cere-
monies"

CUTTING AWAY THE MAINE.
Acetyline Oxygen Torches Eat
Steadily Into Mass of Steel.

The army engineer officers working oil
the wreck of the Maine in Havana har-
Dor have abandoned the idea of construct
ing a small cofferdam within the large
dam that now surrounds the vessel for
the purpose of inclosing the forward
part of the wreck and giving access to
the very bottom of the structure. In
stead a system of bracing Is now being
placed that will strengthen the walls
of the existing dam as to make II capa-
BILE of resisting the enormous strains that
will be imposed when the workmen un-
dertake to remove the mud at the bottom
TO depth sufficient to expose the keel
plates.
As this work Of bracing goes on. ex-
pcrts plying the queer little acetyline-
oxygen tor1hes are steadily cutting up
the great mass of tangled steel beams
and plates with 4 rapidity far greater
than could bc realized by the use of the
old d-fashioned chsel and sledge hammer,
and il is expected that by the time the
mud diggers have uncovered the bottom
plates of the forward hull most of the
steel above will have been cut away and
removed.
