The Patriotism of American wome n.

Women are lending willing aid to the
cause of their country in many direc-
tions during these days of preparation
for war. A Chicago woman of great
wealth has offered her beautiful winter
residence at St. Augustine, Fla, to the
Illinois state militia. She surrenders
the house during the continuance of
hostilities with Spain and states her
wish to have it fitted up as a hospital
and a retreat for Illinois soldiers who
are to enjoy all its many privileges.
As the property is situated on the bay
adjoining the United States parade
grounds it will afford particular ad-
vantages to the troops.
Another rich young woman, Miss
Gardiner, of New York. will go as a
nurse to the front, where she will de-
vote not only money but personal at
tention to the suffering ones who may
need her services. The Womans Ma
tional War Relief association has or
ganized with headquarters in New
York, with the purpose of giving ma
terial aid to those who will fight for
America. The committee has received
advice from Secretary Long that the
funds collected on their subscription
lists may be practically devoted to
purchasing luxuries for the sick and
wounded ON the ambulance ship Solace,
which is now being fitted out for trans
portatiOn to hospitals on shore.
The enthusiasm of many members of
the patriotic sisterhoOd will, however,
| receive setback when it is learned
| that certain well-meaning efforts on
their part are discouraged by the ofiic-
| cials who know all about the matter.
DR.. Wood, medical director of the
Brooklyn Naval hospital, states that it
| will not be worth while for private in
| dividuals to furnish lint and bandages
| for wounded soldiers as these materials
| are so cheap that the government will
supply all that can be used. If the
| women want to send anything he sug-
gests that jellies, jams and deliCacies
to tempt the appetites Of the men may
| be appreciated. He also says it is out
| Of the question for women to go on the
| hospital ship. Such a movement will
not be allowed. He also says they will
not do as field nurses, where there is
much lifting and hard work. They are
| greatly out of place in a naval hos
| pital, but in the wards Of a civil hos
| pital, no matter what the disease OF
| suffering their aid is most efficient.
| But it .is the spirit of willingness to
help which does American womanhood
infinite credit and confers new honor
| upOn the nObleSt of their sex.

PRIZE COURT OF INQUIRY.
Disposition Of the Gases viii Soon
He Made.


Key West, Fla, April g7.-The prize
court of inquiry, appointed by United
States Judge Locke, at Jacksonville, on
April a. to adjust the questions relat-
ing to the capture of prize vessels, met
here today. The board was presided over
by @. Browne Patterson of this city, ana
tho proceedings were conducted in Sc
crct. The findings will not be announced
until the entire matter has been dis
posed Of
The case of the Catalina which was
captured by the Detroit and valued at
100000 was the first TO be heard.
There is considerable speculation as to
what disposition will be made of the
crews and passengers who were aboard
the prizes when captured. They number
about 800. United States District Attor-
ney Stripping says that the crew and
passengers. although the officers are
detained as witnesses before the court.
District Attorney STRIPPING was in COM
munication with Attorney General Griggs
who informed him that the war depart
ment had assumed control of the ques-
ton and the attorney general directed
that all possible consideration should be
shown to the captured Spaniards.
The crews of the captured vessels have
all been offered liberty, but as many of
them are without friends here, they do
not care to land in "A hostile city, de-
spite assurances of protection. They will
therefore probably be brought ashore
here and quartered in barracks under
guard of federal troops, where rations
and all possible comfort will be provided
for them.
A report from Washington to the effect
that the prizes would be returned tc
Spain caused kee disappointment among
naval men here.
The work of the court will consist
merely of taking depositions which will
be submitted TO the United States court
with which the final settlement rests.

One Good Effect of War.

one of the results Of this war may be
the acquisition OF a dignity and inn
portance in the eyes Of people across
the water that the United States has
not enjoyed up to this time. She has
been so parsimonious in the financial
support of her representatives in most
foreign countries that her rightful sta
tiOn has never been fully claimed. AS
a nation she has not considered gold
lace and a flourish of brass trumpets
an important adjunct TO her position
From democratic and utiltarian
standpoint no doubt her simplicity and
Independence have been commendable,
but unfortunately these attributes have
not received abroad the recognition
they deserve. To the average foreigner,
accustomed to the pomp and display Of
courts, a consul destitute OF equipage
and the usual acCOmpaniments of ofiic-
ial life is a most Insignificant person
age, whose government is forthwith set
down as a SeCOnd-rate sort of affair.
Our consuls are 50 poorly paid as to
render it utterly impossible for them
to live in such a manner as TO sustain
their proper place in the official or
social circles Of the towns to which
they are sent, and they are constantly
snubbed in manner designed TO make
the average American wild
our tourists frequently come in con-
tact with these humiliating circum-
stances. Perhaps an Illustration can
best be afforded in one experience OF
the Manufacturers club in it's recent
tour abroad. The members OF the party
were repeatedly impressed with the
low status held by several of the min
listers and almost invariably by oul
consus. Everywhere it was the same
Our representatives were unable tc
obtain rightful recognition because oi
the niggardly salaries paid by the
United States, and in almost every case
1t was found that they depended large
ly upon the power of resident British
consuls for influence necessary TO bi
of any assistance to American visitors
The consul at Innspruck had Offered
the club many courtesies and on leav
ing Germany for Italy he attempted L
aid in facilitating their passage, bu
not only was unable to obtain officia
recognition across the border bu
sought accommodations in severa
hotels in vain. This was freely ad
mitted to result from his unassumini
appearance and the absence of a suit
which might properly belong to tn
representative of a great nation in tn
chief city OF the Tyrol. He confesser

ROOSVELT'S ROUGH RIDERS.
The Biggest Job viii BE to Keep the
Cowboys in Order.

Washington, April 27.--The regiment of
mounted rifles of which Assistant SeCre-
tary Roosevelt is TO be Lieutenant Col
onel, will probably have the lightest
equipment of any troops in the military
service. Each man will carry a rifle and
revolver and a maChete. The choice of
men will not be limited to cowboys,
though they will doubtless outnumber the
members of other occupations because
they are better at rough riding, but west
ern ranchmen of all sorts will find their
way in.
Army experts are of the opinion that
the toughest work the officers of the
troops will have during the campaign Will
be that of keeping their own men in or
der. This will have TO be the first Job
undertaken.

The Thirteenth's Departure.

Patriotism is not all fuss and feath-
the surface symptoms. The real test
so far as the Thirteenth is concerned
will come when camp is reached at Mt.
Gretna; when, after the stir and emo
ton and applause Of the first few hours
have died away there will be presented
the serious side of soldiering--the hard,
stern discipline, the slow and wearing
work, the exposure, the subordination
of personal ambition to the necessities
of the service and. back of all, the pros
pect of a call to foreign land, where
danger turks not only in the ranks of
the foe but in the very atmosphere.
Yet we believe the Thirteenth will
not shrink. The men in it are seasoned.
