Search is be Ing made here for facts and deeds that will authorise the enrollment of the first native American to be Included among the canonised saints. Rev. H. McHale, C. M.. president of Niagara University, has received authority to begin the work piellmlnary to the beat ification of Mother Elisabeth Seton, who foundd the order of the Sisters of Charity In the United States. In the Roman Catholic church the process of canonization is a long one of Investigation and trial and one that proceeds with slow caution both here and In Rome. It is notable that the present subject Is a ivoman whose car eer was all Identified with the promotion of the education of her sex, and who was a resident of this city during the revolutionary era and the first years of the century Just closed. Elisabeth Ann Seton was the daugh ter of Dr. Richard Bayley, one of the famous old time New Tork physicians. Miss Bayley was married by Bishop Provost in 1799 to Wm. M. Seton, a member of an old and well-reputed Scotch family. They had four children, Mr. Seton died l.i Italy, December 27. 1803, while abroad for his health, ond the widow returned to New York. She became a convert to the Roman Catho- He faith in 1805, and four years later removed to Baltimore. She then resolved to attempt the for mation of a religious com nunlty, es pecially devoted to the service of wo men and children. The generosity of another convert, the Rev. Father Coop er, enabled her to buy a farm at Em mittsburg, Md. Here, adopting the rule of St. Vincent de Paul in vogue in France before the revolution, she founded In 1810 the order of the Sis- ters of Charity. From that humble be- ginning it has Increased and prospered until it is now a vast association of!S(,outs who have Earned American pious women, school, asylums and hos pitals all over the United States. Two of her daughters also joined the order. The late Archbishop Bayley of Baltimme was her nephew, and the Right Rev. Mgs. Robert Seton, V. D., of Jersey Pity, the first American hon ored by the pope in the Roman prela lure, Is her grandson. Mother Seton did at Emmlttsburg on January 4. 1821, TO DRINK FEVER GERMS.

A special to the Times from Washington says: The war department Intends to go slowly in the Interesting, exp?rlment which the new army law permits it to make of encouraging the Filipinos to become American soldiers. There are no regular military organization of Filipinos now, nnles the squadron of OF of Fine Dry Goods, Cloth- Astoria during the. year. Philippine cavalry Is so considered and tho war department has not re- eclved enough Informatnon about that oiganisatloi'. to know whether it is a success or not. The army law gives to the department the desired oppor tunity to experiment with the Filipinos and ascertain their soldierly qualities under American leaders. It Is author ized to recruit Filipinos up to the num ber of 12,000. The whole thing will be left to Gen. eral MacArihur, who will be allowed to use his ludement about how manv Filipinos to enlist, unhampeivj by n.preMtv r,te today was rendered to traction from Washington.

Their progress will be closely watched, and when General MacArihur finds that some of these men have learned American ways and American discipline and have developed sufficient ly In soldierly qualities, he will form them into companies: then, as the num bers of such Americanized Filipinos Increase, into battalions and regiments. The scouting bands are to be the skeleton from which the regular organ izations are to be built up. There is already a nucleus. Quite a number of there irregular hands of scouts have been formed ny General MacArihur. and are doing service under Am- rican office! s.

There are jalso several companies of Visayans iimons the scouts.
