Many women have been eager to assist
in the work Of the charity, 1t Is declared.
In three years and half fully $50 women
have written or called for this end. But
small proportion have had any qualifi-
cations for joining the nurses, and some
times the motives have been mercenary or
otherwise selfish. while number have
wished to work for a year or two, but not
for life. Many ladies have kindly volun-
teered to sew, roll bandagesaa and visit the
sick in their homes, and the enthusiastic
interest shown by all denominations and
classes has proved the virtue of such work
as is inspired and furthered by sisterly
compassion and public liberality. In all,
twelve women have for different periods
been engaged in personally laboring, as
servants of the poor, in the little hospital,
Of whom but four have finally Joined for
life. One of the remaining four died of
heart disease. New applicants are coming
forward who will soon make trial of the
work and who are Of fine caliber, promis-
ing determination and usefulness.
From the first the charity has been re-
garded as a religious work. since no in
ducement outside Of religion could be suf-
ficient to give 1t life. A religious aspect
had already been given to the garb and
habits of the workers. who had designated
themselves Servants of Relief, because Of
their humble servitude OF the destitute sufs

Found Very Much Inhabited by
the New Occupants.

The family Of George Vetelin the
other day moved from Sodus into their
new home, mile from Geneva, n. Y,
The house into which they moved had
been unoccupied for two years. About
midnight the family were awakened
by terrified screams from their little
daughters room. The child. Marga.
ret, is seven years old, and when her
father and mother arrived at her bed
stead she was holding the bed clothes
over her head.
The parents were conscious in the
dark of strange black objects hurting
themselves against the walls, and when
light was made they found that the
room was full of bats of enormous size.
They killed 27 of them, and later found
nest containing 10 young ones. not
yet able to fly. hidden away in closet

New Swindlin4 Game Which Has Left
Victims in Indiana With
out Teeth.

A heartless swindle has been prac-
ticed on confiding residents of Linn
Grove, Adams county, Ind, and its
immediate vicinity. A few weeks ago
strangers travelled through the coun-
try, representing themselves as dem
fists and naming marvelously low
prices for false teeth. They proposed
to extract the molars of persons need
ing store teeth and furnish the new
sets Immediately, the patrons paying
half the price in advance and the
other half on delivery of the teeth. A
number of orders were taken, the
teeth of dozen were drawn. and the
strangers disappeared with the cash.
So far there have been no teeth de-
livered, and the victims, who are pain
fully cumming it," now think they
were buncoed, and will have to pay
full price to other dentists for their
new sets or 90 without.

r IL . PrsDerty Right Over which
Its Possess0r Has Absolute
Control.

Justice Davy, of the supreme court
at Rochester, N. Y, has overruled the
demurrer to the complaint of Miss
Abigail Robertson, the ls-year-old girl
who brought suit against the Frank.
lin Mills company, of Lockport, and
the Rochester Folding Box company
for $4,000 damages.
Miss Robertson, who is a very beau
tiful girl. found that. unknown to her
self, her portrait was being used by
the defendant companies as-an adver-
tisement for -four. Her chief ground
in bringing suit was that her right Of
privacy had been invaded. point never
before passed upon in the courts of this
country. In the course OF his decision
Judge Davy said:
ut does not appear from the COM
p.aint in this action that .he plaintiff
Is within the category Of what might
be denominated public character. She
is undoubtedly young woman of rare
beauty, and this she enjoys as pri-
yate citizen. 1t is very natural, if the
nature. that any such publicity would
be extremely disagreaabie and often
sive to her. 1t is not impossibl there-
fore, that she has SUFFERED and con.
tinues to suffer great mental injury
and distress.
I'm other words, there Is plausible
ground for the existence of the dis
tress and injury alleged in her COM
plant. If her photographic likeness,
owing to its beauty, is of great value
as trademark or an advertising me.
dium, it is property right which be-
longs to her and cannot be taken from
her without her consent. She has
right to say that without her consent
these photographic copies of her like
ness shall not be circulated or used by
the defendants"
