The CoIored 0rphans'
 And Old Folks Home

It will be readily recalled that several months ago an account was given in this dcpar. ment of The Age-Herald of the in- auguration of an Orphans and Old Folks Home for negroes. in which several noble Birmingham women were interested to the extent of assisting in properly organizing the work.
 Since last autumn very little has heen heard of the progress being made by this charitable institution, the gratifying statements just made public in the first re- Fort of the Colored Orphans and old Iclks' Home comes pleasing surprise to every white pc son. who desires to see the negroes advance along the proper lines. Ire assistance given them by their white friends has enabled the negroes to make this home permanent institution.
 It Is situated at Avondale and was opened last December. There are now ten inmates, including the matron. It is incorporated. and is legally prepared to care for sc.piess children and aged persons who may ap- ply for admission. Theie have been collect- ed from all sources fol the home up to this time in cash, $1ez.73 Expenses since open- ing in December, to April 27, 1898, were sS0.57.
 The above amount covers matrons' sal- ary, house rent, coal, wood, groceries, and incidental expenditures. This institution has no regular income and is therefore de- ble public for its means of support.

REAR ADMIRAL VT. SAMPSON

Joanna R. Nicholas, in Leslies Weekly.
 On the Fist of April. the president au- thorized Captain Sampson to hoist the flag of a rear admiral, and thus made him the senior flag officer of the entire force of our war vessels on the North Atlantic coast. Captain William T. Sampson had been promoted on March 24 from the com mand of the batteship Iowa to succeed Rear Admiral Sicard as commander of the fleet at Key West His appointment was a surprise, he being the fourth ranking captain in the service; but no doubt those qualities of coolnes and deliberation which caused his selection president of the Maine court of inquiry led to his being chosen for the present responsible trust. A brother officer, speaking of him recently said: "It is one of the best appointments that has been made. He is one of the most

brilliant men in the serviee-was graduated A No. from the academy, and has stood high in all subsequent examinations-as an officer. as a scientist, as an engineer.'
 Captain Sampson entered the navy in 1887 from the state of New York. His first service was that on board the frigate Poto- mac in 1861. During his participation in the evolutions of the South Atlantic squad ron it was his fate to be on board the iron clad Patapsco when she was destroyed in Charleston harbor January 15, 1865 The following year he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander, and in 1874 reached the grade of commander, the third rate vessel Alert being assigned to him. Subsequently he was sent to the Asiatic station in command of the Swatara. While performing shore duty Captain Sampson was stationed at the naval observatory from 1882 to 1885. and was sent as a mem Der to the International Prime Meridian and Time Conference held in 1884. He also acted as a member of the board of forti- fications and other defenses, which con- vened in 1885.
 From 1886 to 1890 he was stationed at Annapolis as superintendent of the naval academy, and also served as delegate from the United States to the International maritime conference. which met at Wash ington in 1889, in which year he attained the rank of captain. He was next ordered tV thS T dCiiic cOdSt tO tdhe command or the new United States cruiser San Francisco and, at the expiration of this term of ser vice, became chief of the ordnance bureau.
 He is between 50 and 60 years of age tall and slight in figure, and possessing stern, handsome face. "1e is cold, block of ice at times," said one of his sailors; s'but. oh, he was loved by every man on board"
 When the San Francisco was first put into commission under Captain Sampson's s direction he set the whole force on board to work so vigorously that all visitors to the vessel. Americans and foreigners, pro- nounced her to be in the finest condition of any ship they had ever seen. It is ag, serted that he never asked tho navy depart- ment for a command, and that he even re- fused to request the choice of his +subordi- mates. Being solicited once for a position on board the Iowa, he answered the appli- cant, at the same time assuming one of his

Woman's Work in War


 All newspaper readers are necessarily familiar with what is being accomplished in certain portions of the country towards training nurses for army hospital duty. Thus far there has been a delay in sending these nurses to the front. Miss Barton IS at Tampa, and with all other persons who are interested in providing properly trained women for hospital service only waiting orders from the government before joining the regular army corps.
 Humanity and neutrality is the motto of the Red Cross society, and the members are expected to express no political views.
 An adjunct or supplement to the Red Cross society is the Corps of Sanitary Vol unteers, organized recently by Mrs. D. H. Walworth of New York, one of the found CTS of the National Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution.
 In speaking of her especial organization, Mrs. Walworth says: "The Red Cross so- ciety is international and neutral, whereas we shall work simply for the men and officers of the American army and navy, unde rthe direction of the authorities. Our organization is a military one, but we do not expect active service in the field. What we aim to do is to raise money to send trained nurses and supplies, subject to the under the direction of the authorities. Our work will be purely practical. Our plans depend entirely upon events, which are not yet decided, so that at present we are simply gathering forces and money to be ready for an emergency l have sent out a call for volunteers, and responses are coming in from all over the country
 Auxiliary corps are being organized throughout Greater New York in connection with the national guard. Mrs. Henrotln, president of the General Federation or Women's Clubs, has created mild ex- citement in feminine club ranks by her re- cent letter to President Mckinley, pedging the Federated Womens Clubs to the sup port of the government, and she has been severely criticised by some of her sup- ordinates for her epistolary patriotism. But the good work for the soldiers goes bravely on with club women regardless or political differences, and of the varying opinions concerning Mrs. Henrotins judg- ment and commonsense. New societies ana other expressions of patriotic energy are being developed every day in all parts or the United States, and there can be no doubt that the health as well as the com- fort of the soldiers during the present war will be greatly improved by the kindly ofi- ces of the women of the country.
