Darlng Adventures in the Field In the
War In India.
When the medical history Of the
last war in India is written it will
prove interesting reading. There were
many difficulties overcome and hard
ships endured with the usual element
Of danger, says the London Lancet. A
good instance of this was when Gen.
Woodhouse was wounded early in the
war. A bullet struck him in the thigh,
passed down below the knee, broke
into pieces and lodged. The Roentgen
ray apparatus revealed the exact con-
ditions and it was determined to ex-
tract the pieces. In the middle of the
operation, artificial light being used,
the Afridis crawled up and suddenly
blazed into the tent, sending thirteen
shots through the canvas. Now, that
might have been a ya1y disturbing
circumstance and apt to Interfere with
the perfect application OF the asceptlc
form of surgery. And what happened!
Nothing. The operation went on ana

there was no Afridi within 100 miles.
AS usual, We have many examples OF
great personal bravery and devotion 10
duty in the midst of danger. Surgeon
Capt. Beyts arrested hemorrhage under
hot fire and Sir William Lockhart,
speaking of the incident, said that no
one ever better merited the reward OF
the Victoria cross than he. He got
nothing; but that is another story.
Another medical officer greatly dis
tinguished himself, Surgeon Lieut..
Hugo.
Lieut.. Ford was dangerously wound
ed in the shoulder. The bullet cut the
artery and he was bleeding to death
when Surgeon Lieut.. V. Hugo came to
his aid. The fire was too hot to per-
nit of lights being used. There was
no cover of any sort. 1t was at the
bottom of the cup Nevertheless, the
surgeon struck a match at the peril OF
his life and examined the wound. The
match went out amid splutter OF
bullets which kicked up dust all around
but by its uncertain light he saw the
nature of the injury. The officer had
already tainted from loss of blood. The
doctor seized the artery and, as no
other ligature was forthcoming, he re-

day at Kamehameha. \ praise service
was held in Bishop Memorial Chapel al
80 in the morning. This was to have
been followed by the march to the
Mausoleum for the decoration OF the
Founders grave, but conditions now
prevailing made it seem wise to omit
this customary feature Of the day. In
stead of the usual number going repre-
sentatives from the three schools went
the grave as a tribute to her memory.
The praise service was attended by the
pupils and teachers of the three schools
and visitors from town. The number
of visitors was not large, owing, no
doubt, TO the present state of the city
AS it was, the chapel was filled. Fol

ADDRESS BY MR.. ALLEN.

y
This is Founders Day, and l wish
to explain TO those Of the younger
scholars, who have not been here long
enough TO have Joined in observing this
day, why the trustees set it apart for
a day 10 be observed by the schools
and their friends.
On the 10Th day OF December, 1881,
just sixty-eight years ago today, there
was born at Aikapika, Honolulu, OF
high chief parentage, a girl who was
named Berenice. Pauahi Paki, who was
destined to become of very high rank
and owner of much property. She was
educated at the Chiefs School in Ho-
nolulu. conducted by Mr.. and Mrs.
Amos Cooke, who did SO much good
work for the young nobility OF Hawaii.
On the 5tl of June, 1850, che was mar
ried to Charles r. Bishop. an Amcri-
can from the State Of New York, who
! was at that time Collector General Of
! Customs.
! From that sine she began To make
! her influence feiL ana until her death.
: on October 1G. 1881. she was leader in
! the social life Of Honolulu and IN all
good works for the benefit Of the
wing. She was noted for her interest
: ii, and influence over the girls and
yong women OF ali natiOnalities, and
was freely consulted by them. She
was student OF ali that was good and
| eleyating III the claims society had on
Il persC 4 N her li7l position; she was
a re2de~ and much Interested in for
eign coug -ries, and, later, gratified her
wish to travel ana see them.
FIRST VISIT ABROAD.
Her first visit abroad was to Califor-
MIA, where she made many new friends
and met some she had known here;
next she visited the Eastern States and
! Canada. where she was shown a good
deal of attention, and saw many Of her
old acQuaintances whom she had met
in Honolulu; later she went to Eng
land. where she was presented TO
! Queen Victoria, and received much at
tention from hign naval officers and
! Others whom. she mad met in her own
home: then to Europe, where she visit
ed Paris, Berlin, Bremen. Vienna, Mi
ian, Florence, Rome and other cities
of which she had read and wished to
see. She made a collection of photos
at all the places she visited. and on her
return she entertained her friends with
delightful accounts of her journey, IL
Illustrating her descriptions with the
photos.
Mrs. Bishop is a model for all young
women to study and try to emulate;
hey watchwords were. High character
and progress in good works" AT her
hdeath she left her large property to
found and support the kamehameha
schools. where Hawaiian girls and boys
may be given an education and started
rightly on the life road.
BY her will, which I quote, she says:
Il desire my trustees to provide first
and chiefly a good education in com

AN IDEAL CONCERT
Was That Given at the Second Presbyterian
Church. Last Evening.

Was That Given at the second PRESBYTERIAN
Church. Last Evening.
The spacious auditorium of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church, on Twentieth
street, was filled last evening with a
representative Wheeling audience, to
listen TO the programme of the musi-
Gale heretofore repeatedly referred to
by the Register, and the concert was an
ideal one, whether vocal or instrument
tai music is considered. Mrs. Caldwell
was in excellent voice, it being fresh,
round and true, and she was particular
ly happy in her Schubert numbers, and
in the duo with Mr.. Zulauf. This lat
ter selection, Campana's Come, Belov-
ed" was really the vocal gem of the
evening, and was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. At the close of her solo num-
Der, Mrs. Caldwell received a handsome
bunch of flowers. Mr.. Zulauf did we'll,
as he always does, and the opening
quartette was very satisfactory. Prof.
Heinrich Hartman. who was an ideal
accompanies in the vocal numbers, gave
a very satisfactory reading of Clark's
grand fantasia. which was the central
composition of the triple final number
falling to him. and, he followed it with
a fine rendition of the Bach Toccata and
Fugue in d. His capacity as an organ
list was we'll demonstrated, but the in
strument did not meet all the require
ments.
During the evening Mr.. Robert Oar
rah gave several selections from read
ings, particularly amusing being his
recitation of the railroad story Of Fin
negan and Flanagan, and the Italians
account of a base ball game.
After the concert refreshments were
served in the lower floor of the church,
and there was a social hour which was
very enjoyable. The large attendance
was particularly satisfactory to those
in charge of the affair.

IRIS 0 TUCKER
win Visit This City on the Twenty-Si1th
Inst,


Inst.
Mrs. Booth Tucker, counsel for the
United States of the Salvation Army,
and wife of Commander Tucker, will
arrive in Wheeling on the Goth inst,
and will be the guest of Rev. DR.. Sooy,
of the Fourth Street NJ. Il. church. she
will preach in the Fourth Street church
on the evening of that day, and will
attract an immense audience, beyond a
doubt. Her reputation is worldwide,
and as the daughter of Gen. William
Booth, of London, founder of the Army,
and holding the position she does, she
is an authority on all important mat
ters of the cause she represents, Her
address will relate principally to the
colony, social, rescue and shelter work
inaugurated by the Army in this coun-
try. The colony branch was started
about one year ago, and there are three
colonies in the United States-one
near Cleveland, another in Colorado,
and the third in California Over 200
families have been provided with COM
Portable homes on these farms, and
it is expected that before the close of
another year fully 500 more will be
similarly located. Commander Booth
Tucker is enthusiastic over the matter
and confident of the success of the
movement. AS to the other charitable
features mentioned they have worked
wonders wherever tried, and the good
resulting is almost inestimable. The
most prominent people of the country
have endorsed all these charitable
movements. and the interest in them is
growing rapidly. Mrs. Tucker is an ac-
complished woman. a very pleasing
talker, able to hold the undivided at
tention of any audience. With her will
be Col. Alice Lewis. a young woman
who was educated for an opera singer
in London, but who forsook that pro-
fession t become a S~alvationist.

MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYsPEP-
STA TABLETS.

No troubles is more common or
more misunderstood than nervous
dyspepsia. People having it think
their nerves are to blame and are
surprised that they are not cured
by nerve medicines. The real seat
of the mischief is lost sight of.
The stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous d~yspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the
stomach, nor perhaps any of the
usual symptoms of stomach weak
ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows
itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every organ. In some
cases the heart palpitates and is
Irregular; in others the kidneys
are affected; in others the bowels
are constipated, with headaches;
still others are troubled with loss

Most of the travelling men one meets
at the hotels these days report favor
ably when questioned as to the magni-
tude of their sales, and the outlook for
the coming season. Some, however,
are not sanguine that trade and bust
ness will continue as it has for the
past six months, and are consequently
working hard to make hay while the
sun shines. 81 have never taken as
many orders before in the same period
as | have for the past eight months"
remarked a salesman for a staple line,
who was stopping at the Windsor, last
night, "but l must acknowledge that
while my commissions have been
greater, l have also worked harder than
has been my custom. Instead of stop
ping work at half-past three or four
O'Clock, as | used to do, l keep peg
ging away just at late as I can find
any one to call upon. I'm not an
alarmist, and hope my fears may have
no foundation in fact, but l have just
felt a slight tremor for the future. l
won't say why, for if I did l might get
into politics, and I don't want to do
that, but my firm have instructed me
to give better discounts for cash than
usual, and have also cautioned me to
avoid 9O-day contracts, when possible
to do so. You can interpret this to
suit yourself
