The arrival of Puudita Ramabal in
this country about the time of Miss
Willard's death recalls an incident that
occurred when the Pundita was here
some ten years ago, as told in peri
odicsl of that time by Elizabeth Por-
ter Gould.
1t was at a meeting of the w. c. 7.
U. In fremont Temple, Boston. when
Joseph Cook, introduced as the
"brother-in-law OF the union," present
ed one of the most striking object les
sons ever given to the public eye.
After paying a tribute to the heroic,
far-seeing labors of the two women
before him. Pundita Ramabal, repre-
senting the women of India, and
Francis e. Willard the women of
America, he added that the sight on
the same platform of a daughter of
the Ganges" working hand in hand
with "a daughter of the Mississippi"
for the uplifting Of women the world
over was what many a soul had long
ed to see. but had died without the
sight. As he finished speaking he
paused a moment and then requested
that the two women step forward. one
on each side of the desk. and clasp
hands over the Bible. This being done
he stepped little behind, between the
two, and, slowly lifting the Bible, he
said with great reverence, Rise wom-
an, by the heights of Christianity, to
universal civilization" The effect was
thrilling and profound; high caste
Hindu woman. draped IN sfe widows
white robes, and a free borh. great

ventional black, receiving the strong
and tender benediction oe manly
Christian chivalry. 1t was a scene to
linger in the memory of that vast au-
dience.-Woman's Journal

strikers Attack Policemen

Haverhill. Mass. Sept. 21.-The first
act of violence in connection with the
street railway trouble in this city oc-
CURED Monday night, about ten o'clock
when a car was stoned, and two police
men, while taking two strikers to the
police station, were assailed by many
missiles. Several windows were broken
in the police station.
A squad of reserve officers was sent
out and dispersed mob of about two
hundred men and boys. which. howev-
er, reassembled. Then the police made
a second rush, used their clubs freely
and put the crowd to flight.
After this all cars that ran were un-
der police protection.
The Central Labor Union last night
adopted resolutions condemning the
railroad company, and other labor Or
ganizations in the city have passed
similar measures.
The street railway officers have sue
ceeded in obtaining ten new men to go
to work.

In commenting on the question as
to whether or not tails at high speed
are harmless, the L. H. w. Bulletin
says: 1t is often remarked that rid
ers who meet with accidents and have
falls when travelling at high speed, es-
cape very lightly, while those who fell
when riding slow are sometimes hurt
badly"
A writer in the Scottish CycHst,
taking up the matter, queries: "Can
it be that the explanation may be
found in the circumstance that when
travelling at slow space the force of
gravity has greater power to overcome
the force of momentum than when
travelling at a greater paceP When
going slowly, if man falls, he falls
direct on to the ground at an angle
almost verticle, and, consequently, he
strikes the ground at almost right
angle and receives the full force of the
shock ; but when going faster, the
man is flung more forward than down.
ward, so that he strikes the ground at
an oblique angle and slides along, SO
that the force of the impact is re-
duced by his momentum being grad
ually diminished, instead of suddenly
arrested"

According to stories which have
reached Washington, there is more
trouble. among the Maine Republi-
cans than that caused by the falling
off in their vote. There has been
opposition to Senator Hale in the
party ranks for long time, and his
marked friendliness for Spain, just
previous to the war, increased it to
formidable proportions. Gar Reed
has encouraged this opposition as
much as he could, without openly
participating therein, although he has
repeatedly said that he would not ac-
cept seat in the Senate himself !;
but the statement that Joe Manley
would be a candidate for Haie's seat
may result in making Reed help Hale
to get reelected, as he would rather
see the devil in the Senate than " Joe >"
Manley.

TO WITHDRAW FROM SANTIAGO.
Only Few Regulars Likely to he Kep,
There,

Washington, Sept 2o.-All or nearly
all of the military force in Santiago
may be withdrawn. General Lawton
has advised the war department that
he favors some such plan, retaining ir
the province only regulars, a few Of
which will form the nucleus of an army
composed of Cubans. Lawton says that
these natives are tractable and under
our officers they would make good SOL
diers. especially with the example of
the regulars before them.
General Lawton also reports that the
refrigerated beef furnished the army
In Cuba is not suitable, and he has rec
commended that live cattle be shipped
to Santiago and killed and dressed
there just previous to use.
That was one of the propositions
made when the matter of subsistence
for our forces in Santiago was origi-
nally under consideration, but at that
time the transportation or cattle and
its butchering seemed impracticable.

INVESTIGATION TALK
COMMISSION TO MEET THE PRESl.
DENT ON SATURDAY.

Believed That the Other Two VIII Have
Accepted Before the Time for the Con.
ference. Gen. A'ger Has Not Resigned
Gen. McCook Mentioned.
Washington, Sept. 21.-The president
announced yesterday that he had So
far completed the commission to i'll
vestigate the conduct of the war that
he had invited the members to meet
him for a conference at the White
House on Saturday next with a view
to beginning work next week.
Seven of the nine members have def
nitely accepted, and the president ex-
PRESSED himself yesterday as being con-
hdent of being able to secure the other
two necessary to complete the quota
by the ime set for the conference. The
names of the new men who have been
invited to serve were not given out.
Secretary Gage and Attorney General
Griggs were the only members of the
cabinet at yesterdays meeting. The
president suggested the necessity of
giving early attention to annual de-
partment reports, saying that he de-
sired to begin work on his message to
Congress as soon as practicable. H.
talked with Secretary Gage at some
length as to the lines of his report, but
no information was given out concern

After leaving the White House Sec
retary Gage said there was no founda-
ton to the report that Secretary Alger
had rendered his resignation.

DEATH OF MISS DAVIS.
The Daughter Of III" Ccnfed"rary Passe,
Away After Long Illness

The Daughter Of The Cenfedarary Passe,
Away After Long Illness
Narragansett Pier, r. l., Sept. 2o.-
Miss Virginia Anne Davis, generaliy
known as winnie" Davis, the second
daughter of Jefferson Davis, who was
born in Richmond, Va, on June "a.
1864, died Sunday at the Roc.
kingham hetel, Narragansett Pier, R.
i',' where she had been lying i'll for
several weeks.
The body Of Miss Davis has been EN-
balmed, but no preparations will be
made for the funeral until the arrival
or Mrs. Hayes. the married sister of
MISS Davis, who is now on her way
from Colorado and who will reach Mar
ragansett Pier tomorrow afternoon.
The illness which resulted in the un-
timely death Of the Daughter of the
Confederacy," as Miss Davis was fond
ly called throughout the South, was
contracted last July at the reunion OF
the Confederate eterans in Atlanta, Ga.
During the parade which followed,
Miss Davis occupied carriage with
Mrs. "Stonewall" Jackson and Miss
Glare Lewis Gordon.
The day had been an intensely hot
one. A storm came up and rain began
to fall in torrents.
Miss Davis was drenched and at the
conclusion Of the parade felt chilled
through. She set out at once for this
place, but was compelled to stop in
New York to rest for a day. the illness
having gained SO rapidly upon her.
Although it had been hoped that the
refreshing breeze of Narragansett Pier
would speedily accomplish her restora-
ton to health, Miss Davis was unable
to retain nourishment, and, despite her
mothers devotion, the best medical
skill and the most careful nursing. 1t
soon became apparent that nothing
could stay the hand of death.

ARMY QUARTERMASTERS.
Com plant That They Have Been Unjust
Iy Blamed.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The army
cism directed against their corps and
they are prepared to furnish some sem
satlonal evidence which transfers the
responsibility and blame for many de-
fects of the quartermaster's department
to another branch.
They go further, and insist that Sec
retary Alger, Adjutant General Corbin
and the departmental officers are at
fault.
1t is explained that orders to troops,
transferring them from point to point,
were issued in the early days of the
war without due notice to quartermas-
ters, who were concerned with cloth
ing, supplies and transportation, or to
subsistence officers, who had to do with
provisions.
The result was that troops went to
one camp, and their clothing and equi-
page and subsistence to another.
The involved systetm of army admin
istration-the mass of paper work.
which had been grown up in the long
period of peace when officers had plen-
ty of time for this business, proved
overwhelming.
A regiment assigned to Chickamaug1
one day was ordered to Tampa the
next: the first order would be furnish
ed the quartermaster and subsistence
officers, who would be forgotten for
several days, when 1t came to the sup
Elemental order.
Shipments therefore, would be start
ed in all haste to the first named point.
and no reserve material was on hand
to supply the second point.
1t was impossible always to overtake
the first shipment, and there were con-
sequently endless confusion and de-
lay.

She was bright little woman. and
when someone apologlzed for an oc-
currence at which She mighfrhave tnk-
en- offense. she laughingly disclaimed
any such thought. II am honest. You
know, and so l don't pick up. things
that don't belong to me--not even
Sights" she said merrily.. II don't
like them anyway. and have to be
quite certain that one is intended for
my use before I appropriate It," So
many people spend wearisome days
and nights in nursing grievances that
they have only picked up" and in
brooding over sights that were never
designed for them. that this sort of
honesty is heartily to be commended.

Hnavaa. Sept. 21.-At ten o'clock yes
terday morning the American flag was
hoisted on the flagstaff of the Trotcha
hotel, the headquarters of the Ameri-
can evacuation commission.
A guard of marines was posted at the
entrance to the grounds. Colonel Clous
and CAPTAIN Payne stood on the roof
of the hotel at both sidss of the flag
staff
AT 10 o'clock sharp a quartermaster
of the steamer Resolute raised the
flag, which unfurled and 1uttered
proudly in the breeze. which was blow
ing from the sea.
