DAY DREAMS.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT.

'Tis such delight to close the eyes
 And list while memory sings; From out the archives of the past
 Its magic spell it filings. Each little unforgotten bliss,
 Held safe in memory's store, Comes bounding with the olden joy,
 To thrill us as of yore. The word, the look, the golden hours Our day dreams gently bring; lis such delight to close the eyes
 And let fond memory sing.

Former Superior of Charity Order Passes Away at Hos
 pital Here Today
HAD BEEN IN CONVENT
 SINCE SHE WAS 20
Long Illness Ends Fatally After Life of Great Activ-
 ity in. Charity Work

Sister Loretta Fitzgerald, for 52 years a member of the Sisters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul and for 29 years a superior of the order, died at St. v1ncent's hospital shortly after g o'clock this morning following
 Death was not unexpected, an ill., ness of seven years standing taking a turn for the worse several weeks ago. At times she had been unconscious and unable to recognize those abour her and the scenes that she loved and which meant so much to her.. The end was most peaceful, For a num- Der of days it was known that she was dying and hush of sorrow was apparent, extending to the patients at the hospital as we'll as to those with whom she had been associated by the ties of the order.
 Seven years ago her health failed while she was superior of the order at Lynchburg, Va, and she was sent to the local institution for her health. She refused to be inactive and de- spite her age and i'll health she took a keen interest in the activities of the hospital Her associates were cheer ed by her optimism. Many a patient had his sick room brightened by her interest and kindly inquiries; many a dying one was cornforted by her in sIn01E 41SC nOu1S. NOCs O1Iy at the nOS~ pitaI but throughout the city there will be feeling of keen regret at news of her death.
 She was born in St. Louis. Mo-. T. years ago and early showed an inter est in the work of the order in the service of which her life was to be passed. She received her preliminary instruction in the convent of the or der there and then entered St. Jo- sephss academy at rrl1a1itsburg, Md From there she was graduated, en- tering the teaching branch of the. sis terhood.
 Tn this, her life's work, she wat erninently successful as former pupils all over the country will attest. Many of them admit that their success in life has been due to her counsel and supervision of early instruction. Her success and execufivo ability resulted in her being advanced to a superior ship in the order She had charge of convent schools sin various cities, among them being Albany and Troy, N. r., Mobile, Ala, and Lynchburg.
 She is survived by sister, SisteS Josephine Fitzgerald. member of the order at Indianapolis; and two brothers, Attorney CharIes H F'itz- gerald and William L. Fitzgerald, d prominent railroad man. both of St. Louis.
 The funeral will be either wednes- day or Thursday. depending upon word received. from her relatives, in the little chape1s at the hospital that she loved so we'll. The burial will be in St. sMichaeTs cemetery.

ATTEMPT TO MINE
 HARBOR IS FOILEO

New York. Sept. 28.-The story of ain unsuccessful attempt to mine the harbor of Gernsey. Eng, by a. dis guised German cruiser, which had on board 1000 German marines and enough explosives to blow up a dozen Warships, was told today by Mrs. Mar garet Daniels, a missionary of the Baptist foreign missionary society up- on her arrival aboard the French lin- CT Espagne. The vessel, said Mrs. Daniels, was disguised as a Dutch mer- chantman. The Dutch flag flying at the toprnast aroused the suspicion of the British authorities, who had made arrangements with the Dutch that all their vessels entering English ports should fly the Dutch flag at half mast. The ship was accordinly Surrounded. by torpedo boats and search re- vea1ed 1000 German marines hiding below decks.
 Ignazio de La Barra, brother of the former provisional president of Mex ico, was among the Espagne's 205 pas sengers. He came from Monte Carlo. The entire place has been transformed into a hospital, he said. Gambling par. aphernaIia has been replaced with hos pital beds and operating tables.

London, Sept. 2s.-A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Siberia under date of Sept. IS says:
 Here in the heart of Siberia, the most striking feature to a. foreigner of the early stages of the war was the remarkably businessli like fashion in which the country tackled the sit uation The news was carried all over Siberia by galloping Cossaclss who, like multitude Of Paul Reveres, spread across the country notifying the farmers and peasants and order ing the men under arms.
 "Amsk, a small village, we found humming with well regulated activity. There were nearly 100000 reservists already gathering there and being sent westward for drilling in the encamp- ments in southern Russia.
 sThe outstanding feature was the rapidity, precision and smoothness with which everything moved. The attitude of the Jews, who displayed an attitude Of enthusiastic sympathy with Russia in the war, also was in teresting. It was a remarkable sign
