Miss Mary N. Perley presented the
objects, scope and needs of Distric,
Nursing to the Ladies' Aid Society OF
Pilgrim Church, Thursday afternoon
and as one of the parishioners of the
church had been cared for by the dis
trict nurse, it was not difficult to
arouse their interest in the work, with
the result that a contribution of $40 was
made. Miss Ella P. Goldthwait, the
head nurse, was also there, and told OF
some of the cases which have presented
themselves for treatment, and of the
care which they have received. Some
times the nurse has only TO battle the
patient, change the clothes and bedding,
comb the hair and prepare nourishment;
but sometimes the treatment includes
the dressing of sores and cancers, and
such work, difficult and unpleasant at
all times, is made yet more so by the
absence of all facilities or even the ne
cessities of household comfort At pres
ent there are four cancer patients. One
has two cancers on the neck. one of
them large enough to stick your fist in.
These are dressed every week day, and
one. seven days a week. Other poor
souls are stricken with consumption or
are stiff and misshapen with rheuma-
tism, and TO all the district nurse comes
like an angel Of mercy.
There is a constant need of old linen
and cotton cloth. For some Of the pa
tients old table linen, soft as it is, is too
harsh, and nothing is so comfortable as
old handkerchiefs. Reading matter is
welcome, old files of the Youths Com
panion, or fresh magazines and papers.

1t ought to be safe to assume that the

Croker has read David B. Hill out Of
the New York democracy and predicted
his reputation by the state convention.
Nevertheless, the rooster from Wolfert's $
Roost appears to have thirty three
members of the state committee against
a patty fourteen owned by Richard
Welsted Croker. Chairman Danforth of
the committee has the hardihood to de-
clare that Hill will never be retired
against his will. Richard esteems him

Of the six Boston firemen VINO lost their
lives in the Merrimack street disaster,
the money was divided into twenty

Mrs Albert H. Chaffee lectured Thurs
day evening to a good-sized audience
in Memorial Hall upon the new con-
gressional library in Washington, and
an Illuminating lecture 1t was, especial
ly to those who had never seen this
sumptuous edifice. One could not but
wonder in looking down those splendid
vistas tf corridors and nails, with their
marble arches and pillars. their mural
paintings, sculptures and mosaics,- -one
could not but wonder, we say, what
congress had done to deserve such mag
nificence. Mrs. Chaffee described the
various notable features in construction
and decoration excellently. but dealt
more in detail with the latter than with
the building itself, although the latter is
grand architectural achievement. In
style it is in the main Italian renais-
sance. Although such a palace on the
exterior, it is first of all a library, and
the most perfectly arranged large libra
ry, the largest, costliest and safest IL
brary in the world. A similar pageant
of beauty has burst upon the American
people twice before in our national his
tory said Mrs. Chaffee-in 1898, at the
worlds fair and in 1896, in the Boston
public library--but in the building of the
new congressional library the federal
government, for the first time, called
upon her representative artists to dec
crate broadly one of her great public
monuments.
Mrs. Chaffee led her hearers on per
sonally-conducted tour through the inn
mense building, describing here, COM
menting there, and always in manner
informing to them. In this she was
much assisted by the beautiful and art
istic views. from photographs taken by
Mr.. Chaffee while they were on pleas

John Wanamaker has consented to
stand as the candidate Of the Business
Mems Republican League for governor
of Pennsylvania. With the delegate
electing machinery all in the hands of
Quay, with the rurnor and certainty of
political deals and with one-third of the
delegates already elected to the state
convention, Mr.. Wanamaker announces
that he is neither deceived nor inf1u-
enced by false hopes" But, on the other
hand, he realizes that the fight against
an intolerable bossism must be begun
by somebody, and he is willing to do
his part. "The fight must be fought,
and fought to the fnish," he says in his
letter, "if it takes all summer, with the
kind of talk shows the kind of courage
that wins victories.

evening by the friends Of the pupils of

ENJOYABLE and creditable piano recital.
The playing of the pupils who, by the

clean lingering, and in most cases
showed the results of faithful study.
Miss Kittie Ida Fish played two violin

closing reception to the members of his
dancing school and invited friends,
Thursday night, in the form OF a cos
tune party, in Salisbury Hall. Thehours
were from 8 to II O'Clock, and much
merriment was packed into that COM
paratively short period. There were
about rs couples on the floor, and the
picture presented by them when all
were dancing was well worth seeing, for
the costumes were picturesque and
handsome. Joan of Arc was there,
dancing with Henry TX Of France; Me-
phistopheles and a witch, drum ma
jor and Polly" a page and q. bat, and
many other captivating characters were
represented, but the hit of the evening
was made by Mr. H. Hamm and Mr.
Frank Kemp, who impersonated two
ballet girls, dressed like red fairies in
scarlet tights, very abbreviated and airy
skirts, decollete bodices and ambrosial
wigs. Mr.. Davis himself inpersonated
the "Sick Man of Europe" Steeres Or
chestra played. The party was matron-
lied by Mrs. NJ. A. Ackley and Mrs. J.

Schinz's lecture Thursday afternoon al
the house of Mrs. ]. B. Blake. A com.
parison was drawn between Sudermanr
and Hauptmann. OF these two stand.
ard authors of contemporary German
drama, Sudermann is the more philo.
sophie; he thinks long of what he is
about to say, and convinces us by rea.
soning. Hauptmann, on the other hand
is more passionate and enthusiastic; he
eonvinces us by appealing to the
heart.
A sketch of Hauptmann's life was
given. 1t seems that for a long time
Hauptmann was undecided whether te

ship as life profession. In the end
it was circumstances rather than his
own choice, that decided for him So
also, circumstances made of him real.
ist rather than an idealist.
Hauptmann, said DR.. Schinz, may be
called the Zola of the stage. Life in
all its aspects Of misery delights him.
Man to him is a slave of chance, but
While poverty makes him a slave, riches
do not make him free. The laws OF
curse of drunkenness, interests him. In
word, his is pessimistic point OF
view.
In conclusion, DR.. schinz gave sum
mary of the celebrated drama, "The
Weavers," which laid the foundation OF
Hauptmann's reputation.
At his next and last lecture, DR.. Schinz
will present Hauptmann in less severe
aspect, as a poet of the stage. Also a
short resume of the whole course will
be given.

The labor movements, therefore, dis

workman, and the three classes of Ne.
groesare today moving along the old
lines of life. Tie field hande, left to
themselves. without civilizine contact
with other classes, are the least removed
from the standard of life of their African
progenitors. Unfortunately, they are
now moving in large numbers into the
great centres of population, North and
South, and passing under the great,
house influences. Because they are un-
prepared for competitor and lack the
moral development to face the tempta-
tious of city life. their increase presents
a serious problem. The msnsion-h house
servant class has grown larger, for it has
been repleniahed from the other two
classes. This tendency has seriously af-
fected the character of the great mejor-
ity of the colored people throughout the
and American sentiment has
come habitually to regard the Negro
chiefly as the domestic servant type. :
