Catholic population OF the United
States is entitled TO a still larger rep

This is only one Of the many patrio-
tic works to which the countess has
been devoting her time and fortune,
Together with the American ambassa'
dor, she was the originator OF the
Fourth of July club for the annual
celebration Of the American national
holiday.
On account Of her philanthropic
work and her liberal donations to
Catholic institutions in both the
United states and Rome, the late Leo
XIII made her a countess. Soon after
Il was rumored that the countess
would permanently settle In Italy
and marry an Italian nobleman, the

figure in Naples and Rome. and so

time the wedding was considered I'm

prominent New York surgeon, gave Q
dinner at the local Grand hotel In
honor OF the couple.
But one day the engagement was
abruptly and mysteriously brought to

MORE RAIN IS PROMISED
Old Easter Weather Pr0verb
May Be Carried
Out.

An old weather proverb has it that if
1t rains on Easter Sunday 1t will rain
the six following Sundays. The forecast
for Washington for the next twenty-four
hours is showers Saturday and probably
Sunday" The forecaster evidently has
the old saying in mind.
Last nights thunderstorm was the first
electrical display of the season. The
thunder and lightning, with brisk show
ers. continued from early evening until
late bedtime, the temperature taking a
drop from it's comfortable perch among
the eighties to point that made porch
sessions rather chilly affairs. The storm
did no damage. however, as it was not &C
companied by much wind and the thun-
der, according to weatherwise old men.
lOosens the grass roots. That, according
to these wise ones, is the reason the grass
always looks fresh and long and
green the morning after an early spring
thundershower.
No further lowering of temperature is
expected, at least so far as the fore
caster can see, and spring weather Is ex-
pected to prevail indefinitely. The show
cry weather which arrived last night, il
was explained today, Is part of a gen.
eral disturbance that has advanced from
the west, where 1t has been causing snow
storms and other unpleasant phenomena
in the Rocky mountains and western
plains states, with general rains from
that region east.

incidentally, women purify the intellec-

mayor of Kansas town, where women

Questionable story in stump speech, be-

The women reduced the municipal
election expenses in Los Angeles to an
average of less than fifteen cents per
vote. which is only a fraction of what
former elections have cost. With such a
proof OF feminine economy the California
state legislature felt justified In passing a
bill last month making women eligible to

the first time this season that any of the
government aeroplanes had been in the

in the air for about twenty minutes. He
said the conditions aloft were about as
bad as possible. The wind was puffy
and the flying rough in places. No at

duration.
The Curtiss machine was not assem-
bled, SO it was impossible for either Capt
Beck or Lieut.. Kennedy to make a trial
Lieut.. Kennedy was on the ground having
practically recovered from his fall at
Augusta. He is going to fly as soon as
the machines are ready.
Late in the evening when the air was

HISTORIC SHIP SANTEE
ABANDONED BY NAVY
Vessel Which Recently Sank at
Annapolis Will Be
Sold.

The historic old ship Santee which re-
Gently sank at her dock at the Annapolis
Naval Academy. has been abandoned by
the naval authorities and will be sold to
the highest bidder with the understand
ing that he remove her at his own ex-
pense. An inspection Of the vessel shows
that she is waterlogged and beyond re-
pair for naval purposes. She rests on the
muddy bottom Of the Severn with the
water about twelve feet above her water
line and probably never will float again.
Naval officers have an affection for the
old Santee based on recollections of their
student days at the academy. For many
years she was used as a practice ship by
the midshipmen. and when no longer able
to navigate, was transformed into a pris-
on ship for the embryo admrals who
transgressed the rules. In more recent
years she was used as a garrison for ma
rines and sailors on that station. A few
days ago large section of her bottom
gave way and she sank slowly to the bed
OF The river.
Built Before Civil War.

square-rigged type She was built just

square-rigged type. She was built just
before the civil war, but because of a
mistake in her design she never was
used for any important service. Tradi-
ton has 1t that the error was pointed
out to the designer by his young son soon
after the vessel was launched, and that
the designer committed suicide by
shooting himself on her deck The mis-
take was that the portfolios were built
dierctly opposite each other, thus af-
fording an open line of fire to an opposing
warship. The Santee was taken to An
napOlis in 1865 when the Naval Academy
was transferred there from Newport.
Soon after that she was dismasted and
rooted over. Huge anchors were cast
fore and aft to steady her in position
and. in fact, for years she practically
rested on the soft mud at the Naval
Academy dock

| Echo tomorrow afternoon. In accordance
with Miss Bartons wish expressed not
long before her death. Mrs John A. Lo-
| gan, her friend for many years, will be
present and will deliver brief eulogy
Rev. DR.. John Van Schaick and Rev. DIR.
Curry, both Universalist clergymen, will
of1ciate. Miss Barton leaned toward Uni
| versalism, but held membership in no

The funeral party will leave here to-
morrow evening to go to Oxford, Mass,

the interment is to be made. Further

at noon by Rev. William E. Barton of
| Chicago. a cousin, and Rev. Percy H.
| Epler of Worcester, Mass, both Congre-
| gationalists.
Work on Autobiography Halted.
The great regret Of Miss Barton's last
months was that her enfeebled condition
| made it necessary for her to suspend
work upon her autobiography. She had
| brought this work down only to the be-
ginning of her public career as a civil
war nurse. A woman whose whole train
| ing had fostered habits Of precision. she
| has left behind practically the entire cor
| respondence of her public career, as we'll
| as other data bearing upon her interna-
tional hospital work, and the work which
she herself began will be completed by
other hands. She had outlined to her
nephew, Stephen Barton. what she con-
sidered the salient points in her public
life.
Her last years had been spent in re-
tirement. She maintained her winter
home at Glen Echo, but spent part of
each summer at her birthplace in Massa-
chusetts. She retired from the presidency
Of the American Red Cross in 1904, and
since that time had had no affiliation
with the organization of which she pre-
viously had been the head since its es-
tablishment which, it is claimed, was
largely due to her efforts somewhat
more than thirty years ago.
Members of her household were reticent
in discussing Miss Barton's withdrawal
from the work in which she so long had
been a leader They sent no notification
of her passing either to President Taft
or the executive body Of the Red Cross.
