Bad News For Mrs. Gaup.

A charitable association in New York has
lately entered upon the good work of substitu-
ting better class of nurses for the Mrs. Gamrs
who have so long infested the sick ROOM The
ladies who form the visiting committee of the
association, the tribune says, have been re-
Pestedly impressed with the great lack of trained
nurses, BY reason of which the condition of the
sick Is needlessly aggravated. The ignorance
and indifference Of ordinary nurses, the irri-
tsting and depressing influence they exerted
upon sensitive patients, were often found to neu-
tTaiize the best efforts Of skiiiful physicians.
liz was also recognized with some modification
that we are behind the rest Of the world in this
respect. There are numerous training schools
for nurses in England, and on the Continent,
where capable and intelligent women are pre-
pared for the delicate Offices they are called to
perform in the sick room. These educated
nurses are found of the highest value, not only
i6 hospitals but in private families, where, in
sudden exigencies, their skin and self possession
are infinitely more advantageous than the ex-
cited and nervous efforts of the tenderest affec-
ton Influenced by these considerations, the
association has set about the work of establish
ing a school for the training Of nurses for the
use Of hospitals and private families, and it il
expected, from the sympathy given to the under
taking, that il win soon be in active operation.

to say in favor Of the Missouri Pacific railroad
1t WINS the pioneer line westward and is the
"old relixbIe'' route to st. Louis. With the
improvements which lave been made during
the past year, we believe that the Missouri Pa

three daily express trains of fine coaches and
Pullman slcepers, equipped with the Miller
platform and patent air brake. from the lead
ing points in the west. through Kansas City.
