WORK OF THE WOMEN.
How They Contribute to the Comfort
of Soldiers.

How They Contribute to the Comfort
of Soldiers
New York, Aug. "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
sick and wounded of the army may
never realize the full extent of their
debt to the patriotic women who have
so heartily co-operated in rendering eff
fective assistance to the military sur
gical corps in the present war. A no.
table instance of the results achieved
is found in a partial report of the
committee which conducted an art loan
exhibition in Washington during April.
This was the first organization to de-
vote its proceeds in this manner. The
net receipts were $4,3S8, which were
subsequently increased by gifts from
generous women, whose names are
withheld at their own request. The
money was spent after the disburse-
ment committee had investigated the
greatest needs in various localities so
as 10 avoid duplication and to give
what was really lacking. Naturally,
the greatest attention was paid to the
Fort Myer hospital, where the very
large number of typhoid fever patients
from Camp Alger were taken. There
patients came from all parts of the
Union, and all of them, without favor,
participated in the benefit of this en-
terprise of Washington women. In
addition to the numerous comforts
which would have been impossible of
attainment under the army system,
the money was expended for such in
dispensables as the following, taken
haphaZard from the list to show how
those women anticipated the wants of
the sick: One hundred and sixty-two
fly screens, four patent fever tubs, 400
stamped envelopes co lead pencils, 100
pads of writing paper, II pairs of
crutches, "a combs and brushes, two
pairs of BARRIERS clippers, 200 fans,
:, 600 sheets of fly paper, $50 yards of
rubber sheeting, two dozen ice bags,
quantities of bath towels, stationery.
feeding cups, kitchen and table uten-
sis, and numerous surgical appli-
ances.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED.
Several of the Bourgogne Victims
Alive For Several Days.


New York, Aug. "a dispatch to the
World from Halifax, n. S, says; I'm
dertaker John Snow, who accompanied
the steamer Hiawatha on her mission
in search of bodies of victims of La
Bourgogne disaster, stated TO the
World correspondent that some of the
bodies showed evidences of having
been alive in the water for two days
al least, and that the body of one wom-
an showed that she must have lived
four days after the sinking OF the ship.
Many of the victims, he thinks, caught
pieces of wood and other wreckage,
and their life gradually ebbed away
in the vain hope of being rescued. He
now thinks thar if the French line
company had Immediately sent out a
vessel from Halifax upon receipt of
the news, some of the unfortunates
might have been rescued alive.

The showing made by the Oregon Short
Line for the year ending June 80, as shown
by the statement issued from the Office
of the auditor of the company, is very
gratifying one. The increase in the gross
earnings of the company are over a half
million and the increase in the net lit
tie more than 100000 less than the gross.
The increase in earnings, both net and
gross, for the last month of the year,
June, is a very good one as will be seen
by the figures:

1t will be observed there is an increase
in the expenses of the comra any, due to the
betterment of the companys facilities for
handling both passenger and freight bust
ness.

Holmes rs u Face Reader.

Tire Youths Companion tells this
story of Oliver Wendell Holmes, one OF
whose hobbies was to trace genealogies
and family resem blances. At the open
ing of the term of the medical class one
year, while he was one Of it's lecturers,
he met foe the first time q young mem
Der who introduced himself as, let Us
say, a Perry of Cambridge.
The littledoctor booked at him keenly
and said: "You are also one Of the WIS
Of Cape Coo. I know it by your upper
Up"
The young. man flushed and made
taste to answer that be never had heard
ct the W. and did net know any per.
son in Cape Goa.
Bet the doctor smileG obstinately and
at intervals thrsugh the winter would
inquire whether Mr.. Perry had looked
up Ais ancestor, -eceiving each time the
assurance that inquiry lad been made,
but 40 trace of this strailrof blood could
be found in the family.
OnB day Perry came t@ him. "You
were sight, DR.. Holmes. We have found
in an old Bible record that my great
great grandmother was ". and came
from Cape Cod"
The doctor beamedwith delight "No
upper lip ever deceived nls' yet he
laughingly exclaimed, and carried his
little triumph to all of his friends with
as much pleasure aas if it had been a
long lost treasure.
