ing the last few months Of his life, the
doctor was a much changed man.
The witness mentioned telephone
conversation, and the statements Of
Harry C. Stewart druggist. and Mrs.
william Hall. a nelghbor Of DR.. Pipes,
concerning a transfer Of the doctors
life insurance policy. Rev. Mr.. Bigger
was questioned closely about what he
had heard relative to the change Of
policy and when the conversation took
place, by Mr.. Hubbard, and he thought
II was sometime in the early summer of
1895. Mr.. Hubbard sought to have the
witness say that the doctor acted
strangely only after taking overdoses
of narcotics, but witness didn't know
how much constituted an overdose.
Witness didn't know the date Of the
donation DR.. Pipes made to the Third
Presbyterian church building fund. and
promised to ascertain 1t this morning.
Mr.. Hubbard submitted two group
pictures in which DR.. Pipes was a CEN
trail figure. These were taken while
the doctor was at Mountain Lake Park.
Rev. Mr.. Bigger couldn't detect any
change in DR.. Pipes appearance.
The final witness for the day was
Miss Barbara Rater. Of ThIrty-ninth
street, who knew the doctor and his
wife for years. She had waited on him
during his sickness. Was with him all
the time he was at Mountain Lake
Park, excepting two weeks. Had got
ten him cocaine there once. Miss Rater
testified that the doctor used cocaine
and morphine constantly. He took the
opIates to make him sleep. He couldn't
sleep at night, and slept mostly in the
daytime. Sometimes he was too weak
to lift his head up. and the next minute
he was very lively and active. There
was difficulty in waking him from his
stupors and he would be peevlsh until
he took another dose"
Miss Kater was examined at length
by Mr.. Hubbard She admitted that
since 1895, and until DR.. Pipes death,
he was her only physician. He pre-
scribed morphine for her at Mountain
Lake Park. Witness detailed the re-
turn from that place to Wheeling, and
DR.. Pipes stopping of at Cameron for
a week. He got on there at his own
request. The family reunion at the
park was suggested by the doctor, who
said he'd like to see his brothers all to-
gether before he died. One Of the pic
lures submitted was a group of the doc
tor and his FIVE brothers. The witness
was questioned as to T. c. Pipes visit
to Mountain Lake Park, and about her
remuneration for her services and other
minor details,

This she did Without compensation. I
have seen her q times during battle

then at the deid hospital. She never
received any compensation and would
take none. It was patriotic devotion to
her country that caused her TO make
these great sacrifices. I remember her
right after the battles Of Snicker's

poverty overlook her, and she was
forced TO apply for a pension but, ur-
der the pension laws, an army nurse,

She had no record Of this kind, because
her services were voluntary and she re-
fused TO be paid. Her application,
therefore, was rejected. Being inform
ed Of this, I introduced bill, and the
Congress Of the United States, recog-
mixing her services as a patriotic wo-

pensation for her valuable services.
After rendering timely service at and
about Washington, she went to Win
chester, Virginia, where. after both the
frst and second battles. she served the
government without reward as army
nurse. Often she was barely back Of
the fighting line. and the soldiers who
have seen her at work on the field Of
battle testify that she knew not the
meaning Of the word fear.
Long years after the end OF the war
Mother" Holiday was oRertaken by
reyerses. and her friends urged that
she apply to the government for PEN
sion. which she did. but the fact that
she declined to be enrolled as a paid
army nurse, preferring instead to work
where she believed her presence was
needed most, preventing favorable ac-
ton in a bureau of the government
that has always been the home Of red
tape" Then 1t was that Congressman
Dovener, of this district, who had
known Mother Holiday and her work
during the war. introduced a bill to
give her a pension, and through his eff
forts and those of other influential
friends. the bill was passed, and 50 IT
was that during her declining years the
nation gave tardy recognition of her
work in the dark days of the sixties.
Since the war, Mrs. Holiday has lived
quietly at the home Of her son on the
South Side. For many years she was
active In the work of the woman's Re-
lief Corps, auxiliary to J. W. Holiday

PELTED WITH POP BOTTLES.
Detroit Fans Did Not Take Kindly
to Decisions of CantiIIOn.

DETROIT, Mich, July 26.-(Special.) -
There was no chance for the Millers to
kick on the umpire today as Cantillon
had many close decision to make and
in each instance the visiting team re-
ceived the benefit of the doubt. The
Tigers kicked early and often and got
the crowd down ON the umpire to such
an extent that a few empty pop bottles
were bounded off his anatomy by the
irate fans, and had it not been for the
high fence topped with barbed wire that
separated the bleachers from the diamond
as well as the presence of several officers
trouble could not have been avoided.
Both pitchers had good control. In
fact it would have been better at times
If they had not put the ball so fairly
oVar the plate, and the hitting was quite
free on both sides. The Millers won
because they made ten of their safe ones
in three innings and played a star field
ing game at critical stages. Big Perry
Werden really won the game, as three
times, with men on bases, he came up
and slammed out clean singles, driving
in four runs and scoring all the way
from first base on Smiths two-bagger,
after sending Wilmot over the plate
in the seventh inning.
The score was close until the seventh
when singles by Friend, Davis and Wer-
den, with Smiths two-bagger, put a fin
ishine touch on the Tigers. Score:
