FRIDAY. nARch 9, 1000.


We were told several weeks ago
that City Council would be able to
get through the fiscal year without
resorting to some means of raising
additional revenue to tide the city
over until July. Now we are told
that an extraordinary appropria-
ton Tor public buildings. crematory
and miscellaneous accounts is now
necessary. We are told this has
been brought about by the recent
sale of bonds not being consumma-
ted. From the present outlook the
city taxes will have to be increased
the coming year. This is where
the city should have come in on the
new electric company's franchise
granted by the Street and Sewer
Commissioners.

often must he have crossed these wat

left his wife and child and sailed

In the morning they woke at Leuca-

AS you know, have received train
ing which qualities me to act as nurse
to the wounded. | shall be glad if you
can suggest any channel through which
can offer my services to the Greek
Government. | should be willing to go
out there at my own expense, and to
render what assistance is in my power
to their own corps of nurses. Please
do what you can for me.-And believe
me, yours very sincerely, Gertrude Ly-
derad
Curiously enough the same post which
brought to Sister Agnes this letter
brought her message from an illus
trious parsonage related to the King,
of Greece, asking her to call with a
view to discussing the possibility of af-
fording the very help that Gertrude
had offered.
Sister Agnes went ct once to present
herself before the Princess, carrying
Gertrude's letter. Her Royal Highness
read it with pleasure, and ordered Sis
ter Agnes to send Miss Lydeard to see
her. Gertrude's delight and pleasure
may be imagined on receiving this gra-
cious command, which emboldened her
to confide in her aunt; and Mrs. Ly-
deard's reverence for royalty so far
over-powered her fears on her nieces
behalf that she received the commune
cation with unexpected fortitude.
Gertrude had the honor of being
received by the Princess, who inform
ed her that she had procured the SER
vices of three other nurses, all of them
ladies of good position, who were pre-
pared to start at once for Greece, to
render their services wherever they
should be most required. She was
pleased to include Gertrude with the
others who being despatched under her
auspices and who would find the way
made smooth for them in Athens by
the introduction of their powerful pa
troness. Gertrude left the presence of
the Princess overjoyed; but whether her
Joy arose more from the fact of the
gracious reception she had experienced
or from the thought of whom she might
meet on her arrival at the seat of war,
was question which she did not put
even to herself.
Within twenty-four hours she found
herself in the train with her three COM
panions, travelling to Greece.
