DAUDET IS DEAD.
Distinguished French Novelist
Dies Suddenly at His Home.

Paris, Dec. 17.-AIphons Daudet is
dead.
NJ. Daudet expired at o'clock last
night. He was dining with his family
when he was seized with sudden syn
cope. Physicians were summoned, but
he died almost Immediately.
New York, Dec. 1.-THE Figaro, ac-
cording to a special dispatch to the
Herald. gives the following additional
facts about the death of AIphonse Dau-
det. the author:
At half past seven the whole family
Of NJ Daudet met at dinuer-Mme-
Daudet. the two sons Leon and Lu-
cien; Nile. Edmee Daudet and Nine
Auard. Nine Daudet's mother. The
gathering was a merry one and there
was plenty of chat and laughter Sud
denly NJ Daudet gave a cry and his
head fell back He had fallen into d
syncope-
1t was then a quarter past s o'clock.
Everything was done that could be
done. A messenger was at once sent
for DR.. GILES De La TOurette. The
familys anxiety was extreme. for NJ
Daudet showed no signs of recovering
consciousness He had been carried TO
bed very pale and almost cold. and it
was in vain that his wife and sons bent
over him and called him by name.
After a few minutes of dreadful sus-
pense. the doctors reached the house
and with them the Cure OF Saint Clo-
tide As they entered the room a priest
caught the doctors eyes and fell on his
knees, reciting the prayers for the
dead.
Every resource Of science was called
into TeQUisitiOn. strong restOratives
were administered and even an aDpli-
cation Of electricity was tried. but it
was too late, Alphonse Daudet was

SALVATION NURSES.
A NEW BRANCH or THE ARMY'S
CHARITABLE WORK.

Plan to Furnish Trained nurses Free
to Poor People Who Need Them-sim-
liar Schemes Projected by CharitabIs
Women In Washington and Baltimore.
Ever since the advent Of the trained
nurse that high priced luxury of the
well to do invalid has shed her benefi-
cent influence in the sickrooms of the
rich. Now. however, a movement is on
foot in several cities TO extend her sci
entiic aid to the sick poor. 1t is a prof.
ect which must appeal strongly to the
charitably inclined, for If the wealthy
invalid, surrounded by all the ordinary
comforts of q luxurious home and able
to command constant if unskilled attend
ance. needs in addition trained nurse
how much greater IS the need for such
service by the invalid who in addition
to his burden of i'll health must bear
that of poverty?
One of the most important steps in
this direction is that which is being
taken in New York by the Salvation
Army. This organization has brought
from London Mrs. Caroline Frost, who
has been for years nursing in the slums
Of that city. Mrs Frost viii not only
continue her work in New York, but
will establish there nursing branch Of
Army work. Two women who were her
colaborers in London will assist her,
and in time it is expected TO have a
corps of at least so trained nurses who
will be able to meet nearly all the de-
mands for such services as they can give.
These women will work entirely among
the sick poor, and their work will be
done for people who cannot afford to
pay for such services, however much
they may be needed.
Mrs. Frost viii train American girls
for this work and Will stay until the
corps is thoroughly organized. When
the nursing branch is in operation, it
viii be a valuable adjunct to the slum
workers of the Army. It will then %
possible for one of these workers when
she finds a case of sickness and destitu-
ton demanding immediate and constant
attendance to summon a trained nurse
by merely sending notice to headquar-
teEs.
A somewhat similar movement has
been started in Washington by some 80
young women, each of whom is a train
cd nurse and a graduate of a hospital or
training school Their object is even
broader, for their purpose is to help not
merely those people who are dependent
upon charity, but to bring within the
reach Of the great middle class the skill

TREES OF ono VALUE"

VIII you be kind enough to allow me

a few facts IN reply to an article head
ed Shameful Act. lin Wednesdays pa
per The Paramores have not cut any
trees of any value and they earnestly

feet in diameter near the band stand
Also viii some one be kind enough TO
let US know who is going TO forecIose a
mortgage against the Paramores' one

against anyone as long as they treat US
fairly I will say that MarshalIs band
did not have to bring suit to protect
their rights but simply to obtain more
rights. If the officials of the band had
granted the request of A J. ParamOre
when they were over Monday to get
the price or to purchase our interest,

son and talk it over with him. We would

ful aid which has hitherto been Just be-
yond their reach. These young women
have formed a society, each member of
which pledges herself to go to the aid
of persons who may call upon her in
case Of proper sickness, even although
it is understood that the family of the
patient cannot afford to pay the usual
rates They will be content to accept
only moderate fees and viii charge on
IL for such time as their services are
actually needed.
Their plan has been enthusiastically
indorsed by the leading humanitarians
Of that city. The authorities of the
Central Union mission of Washington,
who have been for some time consider
ing the adoption Of Just such plan as
these practical and noble minded young
women have put into practice, have
asked for a conference with the officers
of the society with view to co-opera-
ton in the movement
In Baltimore a similar plan has been
adopted. The alumna association of
Johns Hopkins Training School For
Nurses has agreed to send TO families
or to persons in boarding houses trained
nurses who shall be paid at a moderate
rate by the hour, with the understand
ing that the patients shall be other than
those who can afford to pay the regular
rates By this plan one nurse viii be
able to attend several patients during
the course of the day, and she will en-
deavor to give the members Of the fam
ily such instruction as viii enable them
to carry on her work in her absence.
Still another step toward the accom-
plishment of the same ends has been
taken by the Young Woman's Christian
association of New York. 1t Is proposed
to bridge the gulf between the rich pa
tient who can afford to pay a trained
nurse from 925 to $50 a week and the
mechanic or day laborer vino enpties
his purse to pay for the services of an
unframed nurse whose chief character
istics are ignorance, laziness and stupid
ity The plan is to educate q large num-
Der Of women IN at least the rudiments
Of the profession Of nursing. For those
who cannot afford to take the regular
course of two or three years hospital
instruction the association offers course
of eight lessons supplemented by actual
experience in sickrooms- Glasses will be
formed to which women anywhere be
tween the ages of 20 and 40 viii be ad-
mitted. The course Of instruction viii
include a simple course of hygiene. The
students for the first year after gradua-
ton viii be allowed TO charge no more
afterward from SO to So week, ac-
cording TO their duties
