A Courageous Young woman.

A pretty young woman suffering with a
crushed arm not only refused to reveal
her identity at Cooper's Hospital Camden,
last night, but she, while undergoing the
amputation of the injured member, sang
Nymns, says the Philadelphia Times. Lit
tie could be learned of the woman at first
save that her first name was Jennie. She
was brought to the hospital from Bridge
ton. 1t was said that she had slipped
on the platform and fallen under the train
Who are your" she was asked by the
hospital attendants.
The woman, evidently in her right
senses, declared that she preferred to be
unknown.
Just call me Jennie" she said with
difficulty.
Your arm will have to come off," said
the physician. who are you? 1t will be
best for us to know
But the woman would talk no further.
Hardly had she been put on the operat-
ing table and quoted by a free use OF an
anaesthetic when in a sweet soprano, evil
IDENTIFY a trained voice, she began to sing
hymns, and all through the operation she
sang. Hymn after hymn was gone
through, and not until the doctors had
sawed through the bones and muscles and
the arm, crushed and bleeding, was sever
ed, and the anaesthetic had worn off its
effect did the songs cease.
When the arm was severed, when she
was comparatively free from pain, she re-
membered that she had to forget her
name
The physicians recorded her as "Jen-
ME, % years old, injured at Bridgeton by
train; arm cut Off
At a late hour last night it was learned
that her name was Jennie Roy, of Bridge
ton.

EVIDENCES OF GOOD BUSINESS

Yesterday we published a statement
showing Savannah's exports for October
Of this year and last and ii appears that
those for the October just passed were
S,6553S greater than those for the same
month of last year.
This is a very gratifying showing, es-
pecially as the cotton receipts this year
thus far, are a great deal behind those Of
last year, owing TO a short crop, the larger
takings of the mills in the interior and the
holding back of cotton in the belief that
the price would advance stin further. 1t
is probable however, that the Better price
which cotton has brought this year about
makes up for the smaller receipts
Savannah's commerce is increasing all
the time, but her business men must be on
the alert TO hold what she had and 10 in
crease it. Ports all along the coast
above and below her. are making every
possible effort to get her business. Her
railroads must be encouraged and her
channel 10 the sea must be deepened TO
twenty-eight feet. The movement for IL e
twenty-eight-foot channel should be urged
81 the session Of Congress soon to begin
There must be vigilance and unremitting
effort in order to secure commercial sue
cess.

THE MONEY QUESTION.

| On the money question, some of the Re-
| publican leaders are bold and some are
| timid. Just now the bold ones are insist
ing that at the coming session Of Congress
q law shall be enacted esta bshing the
gold standard It Is claimed by some OF
the Republicans that there Is no need OF
such a law. that the country, being on a
gold basis, will remain there without any
further legislation.
SIN, there is a feeling In the public
mind that the gold standard Is not as
sa .3ly established as it might be. and there
is a demand for gold standard legisla-
ton. II is pointed out that Iowa
was carried by large majority in the
recent elections on a gold standard plat
form, and that In other states in which
the Republicans were victorious It was
distinctly understood that the Republican
party was committed to the gold stand
ard
Congress Is Republican in both branches,
and there win be a gold standard bill in
PRODUCED very soon after it meets, but
there IS good reason to doubt that the bill
will be passed, although the Republicans
that kind. They are afraid that the coun-
try is not ready for a clear-cut enact
ment In favor of the gold standard, and
that if it is not, they might lose the cleo
ton next year.
If Congress deos not pass gold stand
ard bill at the approaching session it
is probable that the Republican party will
not make a gold standard declaration in
its next national platform The timid
Republicans will dictate in all proba bill
ity, the policy of the party on the money
question.
1t Is doubtful If the Republicans will
ever have a more favorable opportunity
to establish by law the gold standard
than at present The country is in a
prosperous condition. The prices of pro-
ducts are high and there is a great guam
tlty of gold in the country. The amount
is said to be more than billion
of dollars. The indications are that the
present period of prosperity will continue
for quite long time. The timid Re
publcans, however. point out that if bill
establishing the gold standard should be
passed, and lower prices and hard times
should come before the end of the cam
paign next year, there would be a great
change of sentiment on the money cues
ton, and the Republican party would be
swept out of power.
1t is safe to predict, therefore, that
while there will be a great deal of talk
about settling the money question by a
law establishing the gold standard, no
such law will be enacted. And there are
Republicans who look at the matter from
the standpoint of practical politics. They
say that If all fear of the country's going
on a silver basis were removed Demo-
Gratis who voted against Mr.. Bryan in 1896
would vote for him in 1900.

THE wars AND OCEAN RATES.

Those who are interested in transporta-
ton rates to foreign countries. and who
have recently seen an advance in freight
charges, would not be in the least surpris-
ed il the rates en- both general cargo and
passengers should 30 higher during tie
next twelve months. As a matter Of fact
the probabilities are in favor of increased
rates, and a scarcity Of room under the
best possible circumstances. The large
fleets Of steamships Withdrawn from com
merce carrying by both the United States
and Great Britain for the purposes Of ire
wars in the Philippines and South Africa
are being seriously missed; and the time
Is not yet in sight when they can BE- res
tored to their former occupation. Mean
time the present need Of shippers for ION
mage is urgent and persistent. The ship
yards are said to lie working overtime in
an effort TO turn out new vessels to supply
the deficiency Of carrying capacity; but it
takes time TO build one Of the great
freight ships Of modern times.
The United States have at present in
their transport service to and from the
Philippines some forty-seven large steam
ers, which were formerly commerce car
riers. The British government has under
charter for the South African military
transportation service 10 equally great
commerce carriers, with an option upon
stn others which may be made effective at
any time. Thus we see already not less
than l57 great vessels diverted from the
trading service 10 the military service. The
Withdrawal of this immense amount of
tonnage from commerce carrying, espe
ciaily during rush season, could not have
other effect than to send rates up. There
is no reason to expect that these vessels
viii be returned to their Gus omary trade
next year. They could hardly do so If
the ends of the wars were already in sight,
which is not the case. And then there is
the Paris Exposition, that is 10 be held
next year. That win make The Transat-
lantic traffic stin heavier. 1t is true that
none of the great Atlantic ocean grey
hounds is now engaged in military cary
ing. and that other liners are expected 10
be in service before the opening of The
exposition stnl it is probable that the ex-
ira freighting which they win be called
upon TO 90 VIII retafd the rapldlty OF thelr
movements and thus lower their ability to
land a certain number of passengers with
in a given time. 1t is reported that en-
gagements for both freight and passenger
transportation by the leading companies
have been made long in advance, and that
stin other contracts are clamoring for ac-
ceptance. Under the circumstances, there
fore. 1t looks as if there would be high
ocean transportation rates next year, with
all of the business that the shipping in
commission can possibly take care of

Howard NJ. Ticknor. the Boston lecturer
says that the theatrical syndicate makes
slaves of the managers as well as of the
actors and actresses. and that there is On
organized revolt among the profession in
the East to cut loose from the trust and
appeal to the public. II is sincerely to be
hoped that the revolt will amount to some
thing. The theater going public, in this
section of the country at least, would well
come and support any revolt which had
for its purpose the busting" of the trust
which forces The public to accept mediocre
plays at regular prices or go without
amusement.

HANNA WILL NOT BE DISTURBED.

The report has been widely circulated
that it is the intention of the President to
get rid of Senator Hanna, as chairman of
The Republican nat .onaI committee, on the
ground that he is unpopular in his own
state, having failed to carry his own coun-
ty in the recent election, and also because
he Is not liked by many of the Republican
leaders. Another charge that is brought
against him is thai he did his party great
harm in Ohio during the recent campaign
by his open advocacy of trusts.
1t is safe to say that there is very little
foundation to this report. Senator Hanna
The Presidents political fortunes are
bound up with those of the Senator 1t
is pretty certain that the Senator Is un-
popular with a faction of the Ohio polii
ians, and 1t may be that the Republican
senator's are not particularly partial to
him because of the fact that he has so
much influence with the President in the
matter of appointments, but notwiths and
ing all of these objections Senator Hanna
is not going to retire from politics untl it
suits his purpose to do so.
1t is true that in the Ohio campaign he
said a good many things favorable to
trusts. But a second thought will likely
leave the impression that there was po-
litcal shrewdness, to a certain extent, in
doing so. 1t takes money to run political
campaign, particularly a national cam
paign. The trusts will likely stand by the
party that seems TO be the most friendly
to them. They win not only stand by it,
but they will contribute freely of their
wealth to help it carry the election. II IS
not improbable that Senator Hanna in IA
voring trusts within certain limits is lay
ing the foundation for campaign funds for
next year. When the time comes for cam
paign contributions it is probable that he
win send word 10 the trusts that Che Re
publican party is in need of money, and
the money will be forthcoming. So while
he is being denounced for his defense of
trusts, he is playing a very shrewd game
of practical politics. He may not be the
ideal statesman, the statesman fun OF pa
tr'otsm and high purposes. but what he
does not know about practical politics is
hardly worth knowing.

The story which Father Matthews tells
Of the capture of those two English regi-

does not add to the lustre OF the British
arms. To judge from his story which
omiis a statement of the strength Of 4 e
Boer forces and other essential details Il
would appear that the Bridshers were
captured by an inferior force, owing to the
fact that one or more of the British off,
