Dear Editor: It may interest some of
j our readers to know that tbe Marquise
in Hoaateiriea Merinrille, formerly Miss
M. 0. Caldwell, who it will be remembered
founded the Soman Catholic UniTersity at
Washington some yeats ago, has entirely
repudiated her former creed. In an inter
tiew with me the other day she said:
" Yes, it Is true that I haTe left the Bo
sun Catholic church. Since I hare been
living in Europe my eyes have been opened

taraily raligious my Unagination was eax y
caught by the idea of doing something to
lift the church
which It occupied In America, so I thought
of a ualversitv. or higher school, where its
darey could be educated, and if possible,
iflned. Of course lo this I was merely in
fluenced by Bishop Spalding, of Peoria,
who represented it to me as one of the
greatest works of the dsy. When I was tl
I tuned over to tham one-third of my for
tune for that purpose. Bat for years 1
have been trying to rid myself of the subtle
it . . a tfa
ovarwnewwng innuence or a cnurcu wmca
pretends not only to the privilege of being
the "only true church." but of alone being
able to open the gates of heaven to a sor
rowful, sinful world. At last my honest
protastant blood has asserted itself, and I
now forever repudiate and cast off the yoke
of Rome.' "
"Sossylna. the marquise politely dis
missed me.
"It will be remembered that the Marqnlse
des Monsteires Merinville and her sister,the
Baroness Von Zenwitz, are the daughters
ef the late William S. Caldwell, and his
wife was a Breekenrldge, of Kentucky.
Shortly before bis death Mr. Caldwell be
came a convert to Roman .Catholicism, and
left his children to the care of Irish Roman
Catholics In New York, whom bis wife
, had met in church circles. The younger
sister nurried some fifteen years ago, a Ger
man nobleman, a Lulhern, and has since
then also left tbe Roman Oatholie commu
nion. The elder has been in Tery poor
health for some years, from having to oc
cupy a position before the world as a prom
inent Roman Catholic which was ' not a
eal one, and Into which her own generosi
ty led her as a young and inexperienced
girl Now at last, her own mind has ' as
serted Itself, and she returns to the creed of
her sAcestors.'

CONDUCTOR CALDWELL
INTERVIEWED BY REPORTER
? - -
Stys That no Papers Have Been
Served Upon Him.
It la reported that W. B. Caldwell,
formerly a aonductor for the Southern rail
way, has been indicted by the grand jury
of Jefferson county, Tenn., for criminal
negligence in the disastrous New Market
. wreck, Mr. Caldwell was eeen' at '. his
home by a Knoxyille Sentinel reporter, te
whom he replied, when asked if the report
were true, that as yet he bad not had any
Papers served on him. - He said, however,
probable that he would be indicted. - .
Mr. Caldwell said that he had no fear of
such! an indictment, charging criminal
negligence, as his past record was proof
that he nad never been negligent to a
criminal extent.
"I was a conductor for 10 years on the
Southern railway." tald Mr. Caldwell.
"and that was my first mistake. I made a
mistake at that time, and that Is alL My
agony has been almost Insupportable at
tiines, but I have borce it The dead do
not suffer like the living.
The mistake was made because I am
human. I think the Indictment was
secured by someone not knowing; me. The
person perhaps holds to the opinion that I
am Inhuman and therefore came to the
conclusion that tbe mistake made at New
Markef resulted from criminal negligence.
"Those who know the facts,' added Mr.
Caldwell, "know that there was no crimi
nal negligence on my part. The wonder j
is, that mere persons do not make mis
takes." -
Mr. Caldwell declined to review the
facts of the Newf Market wreck, nor would
he state what his course will be incase an
Indictment is returned against him. He
said that he preferred waiting until he had
investigated more fully the report before
making a statement He said that he
thought he had suffered sufficiently with
out more suffering.

Yew York Millionaires Will Live
in a Squalid Street
New York, Nov. 16 In pursuit of their
desire to assist the poor and uplift the de-

daughter of the multi-millionaire, Anson
Phelps Stokes, have forsaken their country
residence in Norton, Conn., and their man
sion in Madison avenue for a small brick
house in Crowe street, on the west side
Both have devoted several years to work in
the slums and were married two years sgo
while Mr. Hunter, formerly of Chicago, was
in charge of the university settlement.
The decision to settle in Urovejtreet was
made after long study of the conditions in
the lowly quarters of the eity.
For more than two generations this sec
tion has been looked npon as one of the
blots on the city. The place is never with

Charleston News and Courier.
W. A. Hildebrand, the Washington
correspondent of The Charlotte Obser

assurance that President Roosevelt "is
nolined to turn an attentive ear to
those who counsel caution,'' and that
"there is little likelihood that congres
sional leaders would seriously attempt
to secure the passage of legislation
bearing on the franchise question at the
short session." The declarations of the
Republican platform on this question
is Tory carefully guarded. There is no
flaw anywhere in the constitutions of
the Southern States on this subject
The law makes no distinction between
the races, and the present status of the
suffrage in the Southern States cannot
be affected without changing the status
in all the States were educational or
other restrictions have been placed up
on the right to vote. Eyen if Congress
should determine to cut down Southern
representation in that body the condi
tion of the negro In the South would
not be improved. The Southern mind
is made up finally on this question.
