LONDON VIEW OF THE CRISIS.
Comment OF the British Press on the lie
ply to Salisbury.

Comment OF the British Press on the Re-
ply to Salisbury.
LONDON, March 25.-The Times saws:
1.-THE possibility Of further IMPLICATIONS
with America over the Boring Sea ques-
ton is causing uneasiness among mem
bers OF the House of Commons who ha We
special knowledge of American affairs.
Private information has been received
TO the effect that the American Senate
ana PRESIDENT are in an uncompromis-
ing frame of mind, and are determined
to accept none of the aftermath ives which
Lord Salisbury proposes. If the modus
vlvendl is not restored it is believed
America will hurry men of war to Ber-
ing. Sea and sweep off Canadian
sealers."
Tho Daily News says: There is much
force in Mr.. Wharton's objections that
damages are unrecoverable from tndi-
viduals. Cannot Lord Salisbury pied ge
our credit for any fine imposed? If
America objects, she might be invited
10 put it the other way, by pledging
herself to pay for the luxury of the pro-
hibition against British sealers, if the
arbitration goes against her
Tho Standard says: "a suspicion
arises that arbitration is scarcely what
can be aimed at by such high handed
negotiations. If President Harrison
thinks arbitration will go in his favor
why hesitate to accept Lord Salisburys
offer"
The st James Gazette says that the
dispute is clearly becoming critical
With the British and American SQUAD
rons face to face it is impossible not to
feel anxiety "a to what might happen if
couple of naval officers in remote
sea should lose their heads or their
tempers.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Presi-
dent Harrison is again riding his high
horse bound for the Presidential cleo
ton. Arbitration being agreed upon,
the only thing left was to come to log
gerheads with Lord Salisbury over the
course to be pursued during the arbitra-
tion"

Formidable Proportions.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. March %. i Spe-
cial The strike Of tho yard switchmen
on the Memphis and Charleston railroad,
which began Wednesday morning with
fifteen men, is assuming foymida bio
proportions. The Swi,cbmens Mutual
Aid Association have t4kon up the fight
and tho result is that no freight cars of
tho Memphis and Charleston railroad
will be- handled by other railroad com.
panies. This action was determined on
at meeting of the Swiichmca's Mutual
Aid Association Wednesday night. An
other meeting will be- held Saturday
night at which Frank Sweeney. grand
master OF tho association, is expected to
be present. Superintendent Pegram. OF
the Memphis and Charleston road, said
yesterday: IL have not attemp pied as

TIE DRIVING PARK.
A Big Race Meeting May be Held This
Spring.

"A big Race Meeting May be Held This
Spring.
a meeting of the gentlemen inter
ested in tho driving park was held yes
terday at noon at the office Of NJ. II. C..
Jordan. 1t WAS determined that in case
successful arrangements can be made
an offer will be rendered for the Meirosc
Park property, either on lease or our
chase, and ii it is obtained the track
will be put in first class condition and a
large race meeting may be looked for
this spring.
In case this scheme fails a project is
on foot to mako driving park on the
Pleasant Valley property. THIS would
be very convenient to tho city, and by
utilizing tho center for q base ball park
its financial success would quickly be
insured. The uniformed athletic .cllb,
bicycle club. crickcters, lawn tennis
players and other athletic interests Of
Roanoke would find ample grounds and
conveniences that they could not obtain
elsewhere for many times the assess
ment that will be levied against them.

THE ANGEL OF THE TDMBs.

Mrs. %schaffner, Of New York, Gives Time
and Wealth TO Poor Criminaisss
Mrs. Ernestine sohaffner Ia a wealthy
New York woman, who lives in a fine house
very near Central park.
Mrs. Sehafrner'a time, however. instead
Of being spent in idloloss. or in seeking
recreation, Is devoted to a cause to which
she has resolved to give the rest OF her life.
This Ia nothing more nor less than the work
OF helping Ieople III iustly neonsed of crime,
and OF insisting others who have been guilty
of wfongdoinQ and whose sentences have
expired. She may be aeen daily ploddinR
her way back and forth between the Tombs
and the police courts.
More than ten years ago q poor servant
girl, falsely accused of some trifling theft.
came to Mrs. Schaffner for assistance. AZ
ter she had assisted the girl to establish her
innocence Mrs. Bchaffner turned her atten-
ton to others in the same plight. And in
a years time she had the satisfaction of
knowing that more than twelve poor men
and women had been proved innocent
through her efforts.
Mrs. Schaffner's work is now very extern
sive. She hires two big offices in n large
building downtown. and she engages q
lawyer by the month to assist her. More
than $4,000 has been loaned out for "bnil''
at ono time, and frequently Mrs. Schntfner
has made individual loans OF hundreds of
dollars.
Sometimes they are guilty. she SAYS.
but l lend them money just the Same at
ter they have been released. Last year /
established u man in u splendid steno-
graphic business and another in a dry goods
store.
, do they paw mep Nearly always. In
deed, / can truthfully say that during ten
years work ! have never lost IL thousand
dollars-all told" ID
Mrs. Schtfnsr ia little known in the social
circles where her wealth and intelligence
wor1d naturally place her. She cares little
for pciety, but her whole soul is wrapped
mp Z her ~philanthtopio work.

Mrs. Ballingson Booth.

Commander B%allington Booth. Of the
Salvation army. lives in a quiet little New
Jersey village, and there Mrs. Booth is now
seeking through complete rest to regain the
health which for some time now she has
been deprived of. Mrs. Booth is the able
and efficient right hand" of the m
der. Since she came to New York, about
six years ago. Mrs. Booth has labored indie
Jatigably for the extension of the Salvation
army in America. Almost a year ago she
was overcome with severe nervous p%rostra-
ton. which left her system weak and ex-
hausted, and from the effects of which she
has not yet recovered. Then Il month ago
came the little girl who was dedicated to
God and the Salvation army in the
presence OF a vast audience which filled
Carnegie hall. Mrs. Booth, still weak, could
not refrain from participation in the ses-
sions OF the congress. and the present ILL
ness is due to the excitement and nervous
energy she then expended. 1t is pretty to
see Mrs. Booth, her handsome. sweet face
glowing with earnestness, speaking on the
subjects which 30 stir her being. 1t is pref
tier TO see tho same face glow with the
mother love as she plays with little five
year-old Willie, her first born, in the quiet
of her home. For. though her heart is in
the work of the army, there is plenty of
love left for her husband, her home and her
children. ~
