rbc Colorado Senator Gives Ills Reasons
 for supporting the Republican Tickets O
 DENVER, Col, Aug. 3.-Senator Ed. ward o. Wolcott has issued signed statement outlining his position in the present campaign. He says the silver question is most vital, and that while recognizing that international bime tai. lism is the most desirable means by which silver could be restored as a money metal, he firmly believes the Tnitel States could restore it inde nendently of other nations. He main. tains that his position has always been, during his seven years in the senate, the same as that of the other silver senator's. The financial plank of the republican platform, he says, is far from satisfactory, but he holds that the nledge for the furtherance of interna. tional bimetallism must be taken in good faith in view of the party's record on other questions. The platform is, he atiirms. aside from the money ques. tiou. without q flaw, and the nominee of the party a man of highest presiden. ,ial qualifications.

Maryland they re. gard as pretty nearly a sure thing. The situation in Georgia, as repre- Sented by gold democrats, is much more favorable to Mckinley than might naturally be supposed, even without the practical certainty that the middle-of-the-road populists will light the Bryan ticket.

HONOREO BY
TWO REPUBLICS,
Nine. Amelia Mezzara OF
This City Granted
a Pension.
A RED CROSS NURSE.
She Served in the Field Hospitals
During the Great Civil
War.
AMONG THE FRENCH WOUNDED
German Officers Honor the Signatures
of Sherman and Fighting
Joe Hooker.
AMONG THE FRENCH WOUNDED

Nine. Amelia MezZara, teacher o1
French, residing at 1922 Pine street, has
been granted pension from the War De-
partment at Washington. About eighteen
months ago she was injured by falling
from streetcar, and believing that she
was permanently disabled applied, upon
the advice of her friends, for pension.
On the continent of Europe and in Amer
lea Nine. Mezzara has given her time and
her labor to that most noble of occupa-
tlons, soldiers nurse, and two republics
have honored her with their acknowledg-
ment of her services. She is the widow
OF the artist and sculptor, Pietro MeZzara,
who died in Paris in 1888. He was one OF
the founders of the Art Association of the
School OF Design in this City. The Lin
coin statue of the school that bears the
martyred Presidents name is his work.
He also exhibited In the Paris Salon in
1883.
Nine. Mezzara was born in France and
finely educated in languages and music.
In 1860 she was in New York intending to
join her husband in this State. The Civil
War broke out and the North was in the
throes OF preparation for the coming strug-
gle. There was cali for three months
troops to put down the rebellion, and
Mime. Mezzara. knowing that she would
be detained that length of time before she
could sail for California, concluded to en-
list also. She was sent to a school for the
training of hospital nurses, and was then
detailed for duty in Miss Dix's corps of
nurses. She was soon after sent, at her
own request to the front and was with
the field hospitals in Fighting Joe"
Hooker's division. The Confederacy was
harder to whip than was prophesied by
the Northern politicians, and the years of
bloody conflict went on. Nine. Mezzara
remained faithfully at her post until
Richmond came down.
She was in New York when the mutter-
ing of war began TO sound loud along the
Rhine, and her beloved France was pre-
pairing to cross swords with Prussia,
Count de Flavigny, president OF the
Geneva Red Cross Society, wrote to Henry
w. Bellows. DID,, president of the Sani-
tary Commission OF the United States,
asking for full information regarding the
field hospital and ambulance services.
He was also asked for the names of ex-
perienced army nurses, desiring num-
Der of those ladies to enter the service of
the society for work i'll the coming battle
fields of Europe.
Among those recommended by DR.. Bel
lows was Nine. Mezzara, but before she
received the Counts invitation she was
out on the Atlantic bound for France.
With her army papers she carried an
autographic letter and order from General
Hooker, received from that soldier during
the war, which testified to her devotion to
his wounded "boys" and authorized her to
go and come through his lines at will.
