together with night study. We all re-
ceived general instructions in our pri-
vete work and were privileged at all
times TO go TO Miss Wartman for advice.
She taught us to feel our responsibility
as nurses, also to understand the posi-
ton in which we stand to patient and
physician, to be kind, patientand honor
able to the former and to be respectful
TO the latter and carry out his instruc-
tions. To her belongs the credit of max
ing the school what it is" She urged
her classmates to remember their motto,
God and humanity" to be loyal to the
nursing profession and to not forget
their school. In conclusion she pictured
what she predicted they would be doing
10 years from now.
One Of the best enjoyed musical num-
beers was "Cavatina," by Raft, which

Negondank. Those who received them
were Miss Sara X Burnite, Miss Mary
.. Platt, Miss Margaret L. Rile, Miss
Georgeanna Streetman and Miss
Margaret NJ. Whitcraft. In his address
Dr. Negendanls said "The nurses,
doctors and the public in general are in
debted to the lady man gers of the hos
pitital for instituting the training
school. No further nor higher reward
can the lady managers expect than
that the graduates, in the duties to
which they may be called, show them
selves cOlnDetent in their vocation and
bear character honoring their profess
sion" He reminded the students that
he had endeavored to impress it on their
minds not to enter in leyity of heart
or on an impulse OF the moment into a
life of nursing. He told the gradu-
ates that their education does not end
with the receiving of diploma, and
added that constant culture is required
| for further perfection. He advised them
in their capacity rs nurses to never set
themselves up in judgment over erring
| humanity when they are called upon to
| help and to relieve, but have compass
| sion on the fraities of mankind and
| give comfort to the best of their ability.
"Be firm in principle" he said, "keep
yourself free OF vanity and self-conceit
and do not fight windmills like Don
Quixote, the valorous knight
The pleasant exercises concluded with
the bonediction, which was pronounced
by the Rev. Dir. r. b. Cook.
After dismission the graduates were
presented with gifts by some of theii
friends. The graduates wore the dress
Of their profession, striped costumes
white aprons and white caps.

MrNErrnY LIVES LOST.



LONDON, Oct. 26.-The British steamer
Boston, from Cardiff for London, has
arrived at Falmouth, after having been
in collision with the British bark Charl-
wood of 750 tons, Captain Salmon,
bound from Antwerp for Valparaiso.
The Charlwood foundered almost i'm
mediately after the collision, with a loss
of 16 lives. Three men were killed on
board the Boston at the time of the COL
lision and the steamers bows were
badly stove in.
The captain of the Charlwood, his
wife, son, a governess, and the steward
ess, together with all the bark's officers
and six of the seamen, q total of Is per-
sons, were drowned in spite of the des-
perate efforts made by the life-boats of
vessels which happened to be near the
scene of the collision to rescue them.
Only an apprentice and the captains
daughter were saved.
The efforts of the life-sayers were
greatly hampered by the darkness. The
spot where the two vessels met was not
far from the Eddystone Rocks, IA miles
from Plymouth.
The collision occurred about o'clock
this morning, when it was intensely
dark and the wind blowing strong
gale. The people ON the bark hardly had
u glimpse of the Boston before the COLI
sion, and, as the steamer struck them,
the bark began to sink almost at the
same instant. The Charlwood was
almost cut in two. Nevertheless, Cap
tain Hiscocks Of the Inflated vessel
stood on the poop, and, as coolly as If
on q summer sea. gave orders for the
| lowering of the lifcboat, The boat was
lowered, the seamen obeying as bravely
as their captain ordered.
The women and apprentice boys en-.
| tered the boat, which was about to put
off, when the bark gave sudden lurch
and foundered. The dayits struck the
lifehoat and made it capsize, and the
women and boys were thrown into the
angry sea. Their shrieks were heard
for several moments, until most of them
were swept out Of sight under the

years. She was the darling Of the crew
Jones held ner across a plank until the
boats which had instantly put off from
the Boston came to the rescue. A
schooner named the Albion happened
to be passing. Her crew heard the
shrieks of the drowning women and
FASTENED to give assistance. They rescued
seven. Two of the survivors, battered
and exhausted, were taken to the hospi
tai at Falmouth. The pilot had left The
Charlwood only an hour previously

The second lecture on ELECTRICITY

ment with frogs legs. Galyani ex-
planned the phenomenon of the move
ment Of the legs on the physiological
basis of vital forces. Volta, physicist
relative Of Galyani, took different
view, more scientific one, and then q
discussion arose between the physiologist
and physicist. The lecturer made briei
reference to the storage battery. He
preferred the use Of the term 'pipe" in.
stead Of wire, as more readily conveying
the idea Of carrying electric force Just al
gas or water is carried in an iron pipe.
There is no doubt that in the future
storage batteries will be thc substitute
for over-ground wires. He referred tc
the discovery of the induction of cleo
trio currents by Faraday in 1881. Thelec.
turer suggested that the class read up Oh
the subject Of induction in preparation
for the following lectures. A number
of interesting experiments were per.
formed. Several communications from
members of the class were read and
questions answered.
On the request Of DIR. Stewart the
lecturer stated that there is no extrs
charge made for those who remain fol
the discussion. 1t was announced also
that the annual meeting of the Univer
sity Extension members will be held If

AYANnEnnILr pALAoE.
A Newport "Cottage" of White Marble ut
Amazing Cost.

A Newport correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette, writes:
After the visitor has been about for
awhile among the magnificent homes OF
the American money kings at Newport
he will surely conclude that there Is
none of them which would not suffer
in comparison with the new house OF
William X. Vanderbilt. II Is not
finished, but is SO near completion that
an adequate idea can be gained OF ite
final appearance.
When you stand before it and con-
slider that it is intended only for resi-
dence two or three months at most In
year, that there are ten or dozen other
houses of the Vanderbilts worthy Of
being classed with it, you are filled with
admiration and amazement-admiration
of the ediflce in Its wonderful blending
of the imposing and the exquisite, and
amazement at the story it tells of the
colossal character of the fortunes accu-
INFLATED in some of the richest of Ameri-
can families.
1t differs from all the other Newport
houses IN being built entirely of white
marble-not touch of color mars the
dazzling wilderness of this beautiful
building. The house, a veritable marble
palace, fronts on Bellevue avenue, and
its near outlook is on the cliffs and
toward the sea.
In its design it is reproduction Of
the old marble palaces of Greece. The
porches and terraces are reached by
broad marble steps, and Immediately
before this eastern portico, with its
f1uted Corinthian columns, are marble
basins and statues and fountains. Tho
entrance from the portico is 25 feet
wide, and the house has length of 1856
feet by 107 feet in depth. The walls are
built double, with yentilating spaces be-
tween, and the structure rests on sup
ports of iron. The interior, in space,
loftiness and establishment will fully
correspond with the magniflcence of the
exterior.
Striking as is the general effect Of the
building, 1t is on close inspection that
you fully appreciate its beauties in its
superb carvings and ornamentations.
The designs are all from models Of the
ancient sculptures and executed by the
most noted artists of to-day. There are
carvings upon the exterior of the edifice
tat are as delicate as lacework, and the
designs upon the window caps and
panels, taken from the life and myth
ology Of Greece and Rome, are very
beautiful. Seen from the front through
the foliage Of an evening, when it is
lighted by electricity and full of life and
brilliant, the house will look like fairy
palace. There are swarms Of laborers at
work upon it, but it will not be finished
this season.

Great Victory For the Californian.


Great Victory For the Californian.
COLUMBIA, Tenn, Oct. 26.-The great
match race between Direct and Hal
Pointer attracted an immense crowd to
Columbia to-day, and they were re-
warded by great race, though the
home favorite fell q victim to the stay
ing qualities of the Californian.
The second race was the match race,
with purse Of $4,000, and an addi-
tional $1,000 If the worlds record was
broken. The heats were three in num-
Der, and in each the result was a victory
for Direct.
Gcers urged Hal Pointer to his utmost,
and once to such an extent that he went
under the wire off his feet,
The heats were nearly identical. The
two would get off together, Direct al
most Immediately taking the lead, and
they would stride ,,ogether at a terrific
pace to the stretch. There Geers braced
himself for the final effort, and in the
stretch would lap the leader, even com
ing to Directs throatlatch. Then Starr
would let the whip fall, and with a
mighty burst the Californian would go
under the wire winner of the heat.
The time, 200, 2.0S, 2.0Sa, was phe-
nomenal for new track, though it is
site-shaped and down hill all the way.
