Terre Haute Letter Chicago Record
One of the most delightful conversation
alists in this country is Col. Richard w.
Thompson of Terre Haute, Ind, ex-secre-
tary of the navy and sole survivor of the
Twenty-seventh United States congress
and of the Indiana legislature of 1884. Col.
Thompson has passed through fifteen pres
idential campaigns and has been a compan-
ion Of all our presidents, except the first
two. He knew scores of revolutionary
people and is a gold mine of information
on all matters pertaining to the political
history of the United States. Far and
wide the siiver-crowned colonel is known
as the old man eloquent" The very first
men in American public life have paid him
high tribute as a popular speaker. He is
now in the SSth year of his age, yet only
few weeks ago he spoke in the open air
for almost an hour to an immense audi
ence of his fellow-townsmen and it was
one of the most eloquent and powerful ad-
dresses of his life
Col Thompson may be found in his great
library any evening, writing or reading.
About o'clock his grandchildren come
romping into the room, throw their arms
about his neck and kiss him goodnight. An
hour later his two daughters, middle-aged
women perform the same act of courtesy
and affection. Then Col. Thompson is left
alone among his books. He remains at
his desks until midnight. attending to cor
respondence, burrowing through newspa-

nurse, who must be above all earthly ills
While she is nursing.
Another point brought up at the medical
college was the strange immunity enjoyed
by negroes from climatic ills. In Rome
the negro attendants of the families go
ing there for.the winter do not catch the
fever Plaques do not torment them
and the fearful leprosies and posons which
travellers are open to seem to pass them
strangely by. They have that hardy en-
durance that protects them Even in
scourge countries the proportion of ne
groes that die are low.
But the main point in favor of the negro
nurse is her disposition. A white nurse
may be ever so learned, ever so capable,
ever so ripe an emergency nurse. yet If
she have quick disposition her patient
pines away and is feverish from the

The colored nurse is sunny all day long.
Negro girls are peculiar in this respect.
They are even tempered. They are not
sensitive. Their natures are as hardy as
their bodies. They are a comfort and not
a distress.
Another point that indicated to the doc
tors of New Orleans that they were TAX
ing step in the right direction was the
chcapness at which these trained nurses

s. to Sc a day. This means, for an Illness
of three weeks, from $6S to $l26. This is
paid out in cold cash to the trained nurse,
and she will not come a peg without full
assurance that she will get every cent of
it. Doctors fight the price in vain. The
trained nurse is scarce and she can COM
mand her price.
The trained colored nurse will set her
scale of prices lower. Beginning at $L50
per day, it is the present intention of
those interested in the school to raise
very slowly to 81. The highest price is
paid to the nurses of very long expert
ence, who come, at risk of their lives, to
take care of malignant cases. But the

might interfere with profession so

But this was found wholly without foun-
alton. A colored girl whose parents read
and write was found quite as intelligent
as a white child whose parents are equal

difference in the scale Of knowledge So
this question was set aside as unworthy
In becoming a nurse the new colored
woman is very proud and happy. She
enters a much respected profession. which
she is anxious to adorn, and no branch
of which is beneath her.
In the New York training schools for
nurses the young women are taught that
It is a nurses duty TO sweep the floor. IL
there is no one else to sweep It; to keep
the room clean and cook her patient s
food. Many Of them rebel at this and dis
tinctly state they will do no work in the
patients room, not even the making Of

But the colored nurse is not similarly
minded. The lowliest task is within her
liking and she does It sunnily and well.
As sick room entertainer the coored
nurse will be something to make a wo-
man happy There never was a colored
woman who could not sing, nor one
who could not tell stories. The orna-

The new colored woman's sphere is in

college some months ago it was decided
that a training-school for young colored
women should be established. And lately
the plans were drawn up for the school
and the movement put wen under way.
There are thousands of intelligent young

THE MATRIMONIAL
LOTTERY.
How to Make a Game of Certainty
Out of a Game of Chance
Misht Marriages Prevented, and
Health and Happiness Assured.

Novels generally prove that all mar
riages are happy. The divorce courts
tell a different story. Once in a while
there is novel that tells the truth. Then
people say it is an unpleasant novel and
they don't read IT, The novelists' pictures
of happiness frequently cause the most
distressing unhappiness. Young men and
women go into the state of matrimony
in blissful and senseless ignorance of
what 1t really means. They have read
the toy stories of the average novelists,
and they believe that If they may only
have the partner of their choice, that
life will thereafter be all roses and honey.
They do not stop to fnd out whether or
not the object of their devotion is suited
to them either mentally or physically.
In Thomas Hardy's novel-called by the
meaningless title Hearts Insurgent'-
there is given a picture, or q series of
pictures, which show plainly why some
marriages are failures. The hero mar
ries a woman entirely unsuite6 to him

her because of her physical attractions.
