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

A Plan to Furnish Trained Nurses Free
to Poor People Who Need Them-sim-
liar Schemes Projected by. Charitable
Women In Washington and Baltimore.
Ever since the advent Of the trained
nurse that high priced :nxury OF the
we'll to do invalid has shed her benefi.
cent influence in the sickrooms OF the
rich. Now, however, movement is on
foot in several cities to extend her sci
entifc aid to the sick poor. 1t is prof.
ect which must appeal strongly to the
charitably inclined, for if the wealthy
invalid, surrounded by all the ordinary
comforts of luxurious home and able
to command constant if unskilled attend
ance, needs in addition a 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 III
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 will 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 will train American girls
for this work and will stay until the
corps is thoroughly organized. When
the nursing branch is in operation, it
will be valuable adjunct to the slum
workers of the Army. 1t will then be
possible for one Of these workers when
she finds case of sickness and destitu-
tion demanding immediate and constant
attendance to summon a trained nurse
by merely sending notice to headquar-
ters.
A somewhat similar movement has
been started III Washington by some &c
young women each of whom is a train
ed nurse and a graduate Of il hospital ol
training school. Their object is ever
broader for their purpose is to help not
merely those people who are dependent
upon charity, but to Lring within the
reach Of the great middle class the skill

only moderate fees and will charge on

BARNECAT's Big LIGHT.
Monster Lens to Be Placed In
the Great Tower.
MANY BEAOONs ON OUR SHORES.

Uncle SANS Lighthouse Service Is Of the
Best, and He Has q Large Fleet OF
Lightships Lonely Lives Of the Light
Keepers.
1t costs us something like So, 900, 900
to light the vestibules to our maritime
portals and otherwise provide for the
safety Of the traffic which comes to US
over the ocean highways. That is quite
an item in our national housekeeping
expenses, but every one familiar with
the service must admit that it is money
we'll spent. Especially along about this
time of year is this truth recognized.
Without the hundreds Of lighthouses
which are stretched along the coast like
a string of fiery beads none Of our ports
could be safely entered after sundown,
and our coasts would be avoided.
The care of our lighthouse system is
intrusted to a board Of officials whose
organization is known as the United
States lighthouse establishment Rear
Admiral John G. Walker is chairman
of the board, and his Office is in Wash
ington, but the real headquarters Of the
lighthouse service are on Staten Island.
The lighthouse establishment is COM
posed of enterprising, progressive men
whose aim is to make the service as
complete and nearly perfect as possible,
but they are handicapped by congresses
which grudgingly grant increased ap-
preparations.
Up to within dozen years these ap-
preparations were absolutely niggardly,
but of late they have become more rea-
sonable and radical Improvements have
been made. Within the last year, in
fact, some notable additions have been
made to the equipment and still more
important oucs are planned.
Other governments, it seems, have
been no more liberal, for when the
monster new light which is now being
prepared for Earnegat tower is placed
in position Uncle Sam will have done
fully as much in the way of protection
for mariners as any other nation on the
globe, if not little more. Just at
present the great light which the French
have installed at Tinistcre is the stron-
gc~t and largest beacon cXtant, but the
Barnegat light is to be its equal.
NJ. Lcpauta, the inventor of the light,
claims for it no less than 80, 600, 600
candle powc:. How hig a light this is
may be brttlr appreciated when it is

ocean 23 miles from the Golden Gate.
There are three or four families, how.
ever, and so many children that not
long ago the San Francisco school board
established a school there for their ben
eft so that the keepers are not altogeth-
er hermits.
Probably the most lonesome posts are
those of the keepers Of lights located on
the Florida reefs. Life in the Minot's
ledge lighthouse, especially during the
winter months, must be particularly
,lreary, for not only are the keepers un-
able to 20 ashore, but they are cooped
up in round tower, with not even
piece Of rock as big rs dining room
table to step upon. Although only
few miles from Boston, the keepers do
not hear from the outside world once a
month.
This lighthouse is one OF the most
wonderful in the world. In lSi1 a EliC!-
Ctm tower Of iron was erected On the
dangerous ledge. For four years the
structure yt0ud the shock Of storm, but

MOMgNrOUs CAMPAIGN.
Prom The Now York Journa'.

Prom The New York journal.
When George Washington was
first elected President OF The Uni
ted States the population Of the
entire Union was about equal to
that now included within the limits
OF tho Greater Now York. The
police force that will be under the
orders Of the Mayor OF New. York
will be several times as strong as
che army Of which President Wash
ington WIS the Commander in
Chief. The revenues whose ex-
pcuditHre will he supervised by the
Comptroller will be three times as
great as Alex .nder Hamilton hand
led during the entire six years CT
his service combined, and more
than were at the disposal Of the
Government of the United States
in any single year before 1868.
The commerce of the port of New
York is greater than that Of the
entire nation was in 1870. The
superiority of the new metropolis
to tie United States Of the time Of
Washington in wealth, manufac-
lures, trade and industrial energy
is so overpowering as to leave no
room for comparison
There arc five Kingdoms of Eu-
rope inferior in population, and
several others inferior in wealth
and general importance to the city
of New York. There are twelve
States of the Union whose com
bined populations fall short Of that
massed IN this metropolis. The
Mayor of this city will be the first
officer of his class in the world.
The Lord Mayor of London pre-
sides over only about the popula-
ton of Evansville, Indiana. There
are twenty.fou Mayors in Paris.
The Mayor of New York will rule
as an elected monarch over more
than three million people.
1t is natural that the creation Of
a government for this gigantic
municipality should occasion anx-
ious thought. 1t is time in which
old associations and party prestige
count for less than ever before, and
the promise Of future achievement
for more. All but the most ire
claimably frivolous politicians
the Quiggs, and Lauterbachs, and
Grubers-are sobered by the ire
mendous responsibilities that will
confront the men who set the ma
chinery of administration in motion
next January. The people realize
that this is no ordinary contest for
the spoils of office, but that vast
consequences hang upon the decis-
ion they will render month hence.
That decision, when it Is made,
will be none the worse for being
the product of deliberate reflection.

ance was much the largest yet re.

points in the case were followed
with the keenest interest, from be-
ginning to end. From early morn
ing until late at night the court
house was CON pletely surrounded
by Gordon of vehicles belonging
TO the first families OF this section.
Many Of the poorer people, who did
not want to pay hotel bills, brought
their lunches with them, aud they

Camden, Cove rnor Atkinson's
predecessor as husband Of the de-
fendant, whose name is alleged to
have been forged, occupied the
stand all day. His testimony was
direct and given unhesitatingly.
During much Of the time, he iden-
tilted bundles of receipts and letters
signed by &c. ID. Camden, per
Myra, his wife"
Late in the day, when the ex-
animation in chief was finished
Summers was turned over to the
detedse, and his cross examination
begun. 1t was sharp and intended
to be confusing, but Summers stood
up well under the ordeal, and
though the merclless cross-ques.
tioning is not yet finished, he has
passed through it all without being
shaken on any vital points. He
will resume the stand tomorrow
morning.
The trial has been progressing
very slowly on account of the stub
born resistance made by the defense.
which contests every step of the
way, and throws obstacle after OBJ
stacie in the way of the prosecu-
ton, consuming much time with
arguments over the objections
raised.
Mrs. Atkinson was cheerful dur.
ing the trial. to day, though the
evidence against her was extremely
strong. She seems to be sure of
her ocquittal and calmly bids her
friends to wait for her side of the
case before pa@sing individual iudg-
