VISITING TRAINED NURSES
The New and Successful Plan of
Serving by the Hour That II
Now in Vogue.

The new departure of hiring trained
nurses by the hour is more and more
popular in New York. Three or four
years ago the experiment was first tried
and it is being introduced into other
cities thu oughout the country. The
suggestion was first made by Miss
Kimber, a young Englishwoman, who
graduated at the Bellevue training
school in the eighties, and, after few
years practice of her profession in New
York, returned to her home in England.
She pointed out to her associates that
only the comparatively wealthy could
afford to pay the weekly fees of $25 10
$50, and also that in the average city
household the limited room allowed no
accommodation for a nurse. 1t hap-
pens, too, in many cases of illness, that
trained nurse is not necessity except
at certain times of the day. Miss Kim
Der and a number of other graduate
nurses then announced their willing-
ness to pay hourly visits, at the very
moderate rate of so cents for the first
hour and IS cents for each additional
hour or fraction of an hour. -
Now all the nurses registries in
New York keep lists of those who give
hourly as well as weekly services, and
the demand for them is increasing
steadily from the usual private sources,
and from physicians who need assist
ance in trifing operations or in
emergency cases. The plan has been
of great benefit TO the nurses as we'll
as to their patrons. The profession is
one of the most fatiguirg in which
woman can engage, and long rests be-
tween difficult cases are absolutely
necessary to her health. Thus IA nurse'
income. which seems large, is not re-
ally so, owing TO these periods of en-
forced idlencss. To be able to earn
little without working many hours
in the day is of manifest advantage to
the resting nurse Again, many wom-
en- who take the hospital training
course have homes Of their own ard
prefer to spend most Of their time in
the domestic atmosphere. To such the
hourly engagements are especially con-
genial keeping them in constant touch
with their work and affording them
certain ineome-Harper.s Bazaar.

NEWSPAPER NOTES.

The Wilkesbarre Telephone has again
changed hands, having passed into con-
troll of the Wilkesbarre Democratic
Club. The name of the paper will be
changed to the Luzerne County Democrat,
with G. M. Wilmer as editor and C. c.
Dilcer, of Forty Fort, as business man
ager. Singer and Schuman, the present
owners, are connected with the new
management. George S. Boyle, who
had been editor of the Telephone under
ex-Sheriff Robinson and remained with
the present propretors, has resigned.
Rumor has it that John M. Garman,
Peter o'Boyle and M. N. Donnelly and
others, who are opposed to the Lena
han faction, are in control of the pres
ent deal and that the paper may be
changed into a daily, in opposition to
the Ne,os and Leader, both of which are
opposed to the true Democratic senti-
ment 10 the county.
Hazleton's new paper, of which
George Maue is to be editor, will be a
semi. weekly and will be known as the
Bulletin. 1t will be Republican Quay
paper. No time has yet been set for its
first appearance, but 1t expected that
publication will soon begin.
1t is said that Pittston is also to have
new Democratic daily, with ex-County
Commissioner English as leading
promoter. Names of others connected
with the scheme have not been men,
toned.
In Scranton Mayor Moir, ex-Mayor
Fellows and other anti-Connell men will
soon get out paper to battle against
the Connel-Rlpple faction, so it is said.

100000 Loss at Ashley.

The relief committee appointed by
the citizens OF Ashley, whose property
was damaged by the dynamite explosion
in the wreck on the New Jersey Central
Railroad three weeks ago, has complet-
ed the work and forwarded the list of
names to the company. The amount
will reach close to SIS, 1000. The COM
mittee assisted the families whose
homes had been wrecked by the explo-
sion and who were in immediate need.
The company has also had a committee
at work estimating the damages to the
company's property, as we'll as that of
the residents of Ashley, and this COM
mittee's estimate OF the total cost of
the wreck is close to $500, 900.

Two men were entombed in the Maffit
mine at Sugar Notch on Monday after
noon. They were: Patrick Quillan, aged
43, miner and unmarried, and Mike
Soskey, aged 80, laborer, with a wife
and three children. The men were
robbing pillars in an old working. The
work is of the most dangerous kind,
and in the morning the roof and the old
pillars Clipped threateningly, indicating
that the immense weight they upheld
was squeezing them in, but the men
kept at work.
At o'clock in the afternoon the roof
fell in the workings through which they
entered, and shut them in behind thirty
or forty feet of rock and coal, which
completely filled the passageway.
The bodies were recovered at IL
o'clock Tuesday night. At first there
was slight hope that the men might be
behind the cavern, in which case there
was chance OF their being alive. This
was an incentive for the rescuers to re-
double their efforts, and after thirty
two hours hard work they finally
reached the place where the two men
were last seen at work, only to find
their mangled bodies.

the best of Steward Wells When they
have colds they are given a bottle of
cough syrup, containing rum and mo-
lasses. One of the inmates devised a
scheme whereby he could extract the
rum from the molasses, so that he could
get the rum out without communicating
his stomach with the molasses. He
placed the bottle on the window sill in
the sun and discovered that the moasses
came to the top, leaving the rum in the
bottom. Procuring straw at the barn
he inserted it in the bottle below the
molasses and proceeded to drink the
rum from the bottom of the bottle.

CHANCES Of Winning la tho Township.
The local political campaign is rapidly
drawing to q close, and the observing
citizens cannot have failed to notice as
election day comes nearer the prospects
OF the Democratic ticket In Freeland
borough winning by handsome majori-
ties is accepted as inevitable. The
candidates on the ticket are men who
have conducted an honest, honorable
battle, appealing to the voters for their
support in manly, dignilied manner.
No effort has been made to win votes by
any but the fairest methods, and this
clean and open-handed style of seeking
borough offices has brought to the side
OF the Democratic candidates the sup
port Of great majority OF the citizens
who look beyond party affiliations when
tho positions to be filed next Tuesday
enter into the campaign.
Those who have determined to cast
their ballots for John f. Boyle for
burgess will assist in elevatIng to the
highest position In Freeland borough a
young man whose entire life, almost,
has been lived In our town. Born at
Lattimer, this county, thirty years ago,
he came here with his parents at an
early age, and that his record equals
ich in, a
can produce is best attested by recalling
thu fact that not the slightest stain can
be thrown upon his character. In a
political campaign no candidate is free
from SANDER, but such is Mr.. Boyle's
record as citizen and taxpayer that
no one has even dared to attempt to
sully his name. His interest in the
welfare, the prosperity and the future
OF Freeland can not be doubted, for
with his brother and sisters he is inter
real estate in the borough. The tax-
payers and tho people In general can
rely upon him to look after their in
tcrests so far as his official duties give
him power, for, like many others who
have risked their all In the town, Mr..
Boylo Will prosper or go backward in
the same proportion as the town pros
pers or lags.

gcss comes before the people on Tues

Boarded UP the Mine,

went on strike on Thursday, took the
mules out of the mines this week and
boarded up the entrance. They will
not resume work until the miners are
ready to 60 back. The men want less
topping, cheaper powder, and demand
the discharge of the bosses, whom they
claim treated them very unfairly.
Yesterday the strike was amicably
settled, both sides making concessions.
The lecture at the Grand opera house

keenly felt, as no apology or excuse had
been sent by the lecturer.
