On the 21st of March, 1892, Ebert
Bower and Patrick Martell, nurses in
the Presbyterian hospital, were locked
up on charges of robbing patients and

and Bower confessed that he and Mar

Col. I. ?. Ochiltree had been lying Ill
for some weeks in his apartments in
Thirty-third street, across the street
from the Waldorf, when James T.
Lynch, Of AT West Twenty-seventh
street, was sent in to care for him. Tho
trained nurse had not been long in
charge when Col Ochiltree's beautiful
gold watch, the memento of a friend
ship shared with a noble lady OF Eng
land, passed from view. It had lain on
the bureau at the head of the sick mans
bed and attracted much admiration
from his visitors. Lynch was arrested
at once and it was discovered that
other things of value were missing.
W. E. Sanford, of Is West Sixty-eighth
street, advertised early in 1891 for q
trained nurse. Leonard Barnett was
engaged. Two weeks later he disap-
peared, and with him went four gold
repeaters, two hundred dollars in cash
and other property valued at five thou
sand dollars. When Barnett was ar
rested by Detective Evanhoe, he had
pawn-tickets for Mr.. Sanford's jewelry
and confessed his crime to Inspector
Byrnes.
On June 2s, 1890, a morning metro
politan journal of high repute for ac-
curacy stated that: 1T is within the
range of possibility that one our two
nurses should beat patient almost to
death and yet escape the consequences
of their act by collision and false sta te-
ments." This was apropos of charges
of brutal treatment made by Catherine
Carr against nurses in the Blackwel's
island insane asylum.

nurse may entertain an angel una

There are demoniac possibilities, how

The death Of Mrs. Alvin Snayles at
her home in Orange, n. j., recently,
was directly traceable TO that estinnble
woman's devotion in the war of the re-
bellion to her self-appointed task of
nursing. What the trained nurse of

One on the most important revela-
tons ever received by President Wood
ruff was IN 1920, and it came at an OPP
perfume time. The Edmonds- Tucker
law was being vigorously forced
throughout the territory, and many
OF the leading u,en in the church were
either serving terms in the peniten-
tiary for unl2Hwleul cohablta alton, or
were under indictment for the offense.
The Mormon people, cheriShing their
religion above a.ll else, were in sore
straits and were at complete loss re
garding the most feasible wsy out of
the dilemma. AT this time President
Woodruff came to their relief He
spent forty-eight hours n fasting and
prayer. and in the end there came an
edict from on high suspending the
practice OF polyGamy. The revelation
was Immediately made public, man
ifesto prohibiting plural marriages is
sued, and new light pierced the
gloom that had previously engulfed
the Mormon people. The strongest
evidence that the individual members
Of the Mormon church obeyed that
manifesto and have since retrained
from violating the laws of the country
in that regard is that the people of
Utah are to-day dwelling in harmony

Interpretation is: Go to the oculiSt

this injunction is carried out IS
evidenced by an exclamation from a

Hot water for cows is the maxim
OF the French dairy farmers in the
department of Finisterre. They
claim to have proved by experiments
that when cows drink hot water
they produce one-third more milk
than when they are refreshed with
cold water only. Caution must, of
course, be observed in adopting the
new system. Avaricious dairymen
must beware Of scalding.the Threats
of their cows in their haste to avail
themselves OF this discovery, which
is vouched for by our consul at Brest.
