Her London Home.

NEW YORK, May 6.-The Journal and
Advertiser says: Florence Nightingale has
written to Miss Mary E. wadley, manager
OF the educational exhibit of trained nurses
at the international health exposition at the
Grand Central Palace. The heroine of the
Crimean war is an invalid, and is so with
drawn from all public affairs that she is not
known by many intelligent people to be liv-
ing. She lies bedridden at No. Hyde Park
square, West London. Miss Nightingales
letter was read by Miss Wadley to several
hundred nurses assembled at the health ex-
position to witness demonstrations in
bandaging, such as might have been re-
quired at Manila Miss Nightingale, in the
course of her letter, said: Florence Night

Congress of Mothers.

WASHINGTON, May GA lively discus
sion was precipitated at the morning ses-
sion of the National Congress of Mothers
to-day over the constitution presented by
committee appointed to draft the instru-
ment. The debate developed decided di-
versity of opinion as to what the constitu-
ton ought to contain and the entire ques-
ton finally was postponed until tomorrow.
This afternoons session was one of the
most interesting of the convention. Among
the notable papers presented were those by
Mrs. Johanna P. Moore, of Nashville,
Tenn, and Mrs Margaret Bottome, of New
York city. Mrs. Moore. who is one of the
oldest delegates to the convention. has given
the last thirty-five years of her life to work
among the colored people of the South and
her unselfish devotion to cause of which
she is the chief representative has won for
her a national reputation. Mrs. Moores
paper was on "F'ireside Schools" and was
delightfully."- entertaining and instructive.
Mrs. Bottome who. as the president Of the
and Sons is quite as widely known as Mrs.
Moore, delivered a paper on the Mother
hood of Coda beautiful tribute to the
mothers of the world.

ScrofuIous Eruptions
Grew Worse Under Treatment Till We

Has Rosy Cheeks Now.

"When my baby was two months
old she cried night and day, and
seemed to be in great pain. She had
q discharge from her ears, and the top
of her head broke out in scrofulous
eruptions The doctor gave me some
thing to stop the discharge and ease
the pain, but his treatment did not
cure her and we were sorry to see
She Grew Worse
instead of better. The top Of her
head broke out with scrofula. A
crust would form on her head and fall
off, taking the hair along with it,
and this continued for two or three
months, when something seemed to tell
me to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and /
did so, together with Hoods Pills
and Hoods Olive Ointment. Soon
The Discharge stopped
and the sores were rapidly healing.
In short time her hair grew ont and
she now has rosy cheeks and is all
right in every way" Mrs. /. LLOYD,

HOSPITAL CORPS.
The Institution Is a Thing of the Past
Health of the Camp.

The hospital corps of the Indiana Ma
tional Guard is no more, and all the pri-
Yates of the old corps have been appointed
hospital stewards. Only their leader. Col.
William NJ. Wight, who by the labor of
years brought the corps to it's standard Of
excellence-for it is stated by military men
that the National Guard of no other State
in the Union had a better hospital corps
than the guard of Indiana-is without APP
pointment, and whether or not he will be
continued as brigade surgeon depends large
ly on General MceKe's appointment, unless
new commander of the brigade should see
mt to select Colonel Wright. He has Sc
cured his men, or all of them who so de-
sired, places in the brigade, and unless he
is appointed brigade surgeon he will with
draw entirely from the service. He will
refuse an appointment as regimental sur
geon because it would force out some other
man.
The camp continues healthy, though the
chilly, rainy weather has caused many bad
colds. In fact, colds are about the most
serious complaints in the camp, as shown
by the regimental reports. Yesterdays re-

Women who want Places.

Up 70 date hfty-two women from different parts
of the State have asked Colonel Wright for posi-
lions to go with the army nurses. AS Colonel
Wright has no authority TO employ women, he
has made IL rule to answer each letter cour-
teously at his own expense until now the letters
pour in so raj ally that it has become not only
an expense, but also requires considerable clerical
work. In all cases the applicants referred TO
the head OF the Red Cross Society, in New Tx

Colonel Wright feels greatly pleased over this
fact that Mrs. Crossdale, of CPL Senate avenue
who on his advice and recommendation applied
to the Red Cross Society for position nurse
yesterday received her appointment.

ALL TO GO OUT.
Cotton Mill Strike Will Probably In
clude Every Operative in New
England.

Boston. Feb. I.-At a meeting yester-
day in this city of So representatives Of
textile unions in New England, it was
unanimously voted to recommend that all
unions call out the operatives In every
cotton mill in New England.
Ihe meeting was practically the out
come Of the recOmmendatio which PreSi-
dent GOmpers made to the Federation of
Labor last Sunday, in which he urged the
different unions to unite on some settled
policy regarding the mill situation in New
England.
At that meeting a committee of four
was appointed to take charge of the mat
ter, and after a conference this committee
recommended that general meeting be
held to take definite action. Sunday the
representatives of the various national
textile associations assembled in the Wells
Memorial hall and for four hours discuss
ed the situation from every standpoint
The primary object of the meeting was
to devise some method of rendering as
sistance to the New Bedford strikers.
The matter was put to a vote no one
being registered against the motion that
the different unions should order a gen.
eral strike in every cotton mill in New
England until satisfactory adjustment of
wages could be- arranged.
1t now remains for the various national
unions to take action the recommend
ton, but what this action will be is
matter of conjecture. If all should acqui-
eSce and vote to strike, 49, 600 operatives
would undoubtedly cease work and the
manufacture of cotton goods throughout
New England would be al standstin.

This resulted in Capt. Sigsbee of the

be established between Key West and
Havana by means of torpedo boats.
On the strength OF this protest the
Cushing was despatched to Havana.
Although it has been frequently re-

the Spanish authorities had interfered
with his letters in any way.
