AN AMERICAN SAINT.
Mothfr Ellrabeth Seton First Native
American to Be Canonised.
NEW VORK. Feb. 2. 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

NEW YORK. Feb. 2. A special to

The war department Intends to go

make of encouraging the Filipinos to
become American soldiers. There are
no regular military organization of
Filipinos now, nnles the squadron of

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.

finds that some of these men have
learned American ways and American
discipline and have developed sufficient

them into companies: then, as the num

The scouting bands are to be the
