IN MEMORY OF MISS NELLIE SMITH
Tribute to An Earnest Woman Who Led
Usefnl Life.

A community is seldom startled by
such a shock as that which was expe.
rienced on Monday morning, when II
was learned that one Of it's best known
and most highly esteemed members
had died suddenly the previous evening
To each one who heard it the an
nouncement of the death of Miss Nellie
Smith came as a sharp and bewilder-
ing blow. And with the realization OF
the fact that she had indeed passed
away came the thought, How can she
be spared?" The question is one to
which the answer waits. No one knows
how she a be spared. The knowledge
will be unfolded slowly and painfully,
through sad and lonely days, to those
who loved her and who needed her.
Viewing her character In it's perspec-
tive, those who knew her best confess
to themselves that they have hardly
realized the full measure of her unset
fshness and her helpfulness; 80 spon-
taneous, and unconscious, and unobtru-
sive in her was the grace of love; nor is
1t easy to recall the name of one who
assumed less or possessed more of the
truly heroic qualities of character. The
activities of her nature flowed freely
and smoothly along the line of greatest
need, which in her case was always that
of least resistance.
Since the death of her father in 1885,
and with her mothers increasing fee
bleness, Miss Smith had withdrawn for
the most part from participation In the
purely social life of the community: but
wherever comfort was needed, or work
of a benevolent or uplighting nature
was to be done, her hand and heart and
brain were enlisted.
Miss Smith was born In Decatur, ILL.,,
but had lived In Santa Fe since 1878,
when her family established their home
In the city, where her father, Gen. q. A.
Smith, at that time United States COL
lector OF internal revenue for New Mex
leo, had resided for several years.
The deceased had been from it's be-
ginning a member Of the Fifteen Club,
In the organization of which she took
an active part. She was also a most
useful member OF the Woman's Board
Of Trade. In the latter organization she
had served for a number Of years, with
marked efficiency, as chairman Of the
library committee. These organizations
lose. in her death. a most valued mem
Der, and the community a noble and re-
fined woman.
The funeral services at the residence
were largely attended. Rev. Father
Gay of1ciated at the house and Rev. e.
L. Eustis at the cemetery. Irtterment
was made at the national cemetery. BY
permission from Quartermaster
General Luddington, the remains of
Miss Smith were placed beside those OF
her father.
The pall-bearers we're Hon. Charles
F. Easley, Col. George W. Knaebel.

NOTE is STILL UNSIGNED
Another Hitch in Peking Negot,a-
tions-- Ministers Hopeful Of an
Agreement Soon.

Picking, Dec. 24.-Once more there Ia
q pronounced hitch in the proceedings.
The preliminary joint note has not yet
been signed. Mr.. Conger, the United
States minister, says he does not be-
lieve hat there are sufficient reasons
why IL should not be signed In the
near future, and Sir Ernest Satow, the
British minister, takes the same view.
DR.. Mumm Won Schwartzenstein,
speaking for Germany, believes that
the existing agreement will be s.gaed
sooner or later. The other ministers
also say that they consider the prob
abilities In favor OF signing.
Chinese sources of information, how
ever, say there is reliable authority
for the statement that there Is very
little chance of the note being signed
for some time. AS a matter of fact,
the members OF the staff of Ii Hun &
Chang believe hat the note will even
tualIy have to be drawn up either in
Europe or America, probably the lat
ter, because they claim that the wash
ington government has had most to
do with the existing notifications OF
the various forms OF harshness.
The United States is looked upon by
the Chinese as the only power desir-
ing to retain the integrity of the CHI
nese empire. The other powers are re-
BdIteu as utSlTOuS Ol DItdklus IL up,
with the possible exception OF Rus
STA. who, the Chinese think, merely
favoTs a ~postponcmcnt I'm order to Sc
cure a larger share.
Grave fears are felt regarding the
health of Ii Hung Chang, owing to a
severe cold that he caught on the day
he visited General Chaffee. II is said
that he is better. but there is a fear of
pleusisy, which. at his advanced age,
might be fatal.
1t is generally believed that the Chi
ncsc get their information as to what
Is lone at the meetings Of the ENJOYS
through some one connected with the
Russian legation.
Washington 10 Flame.
London, Dec. 2t.-"Thc delay in sign
ing the preliminary Joint note" says
the Picking correspondent Of the Morn
ms Post, wiring yesterday, lis due to
an objection from Washington. Mr..
Conger. however, has t~elegraphcd his
government urging n speedy settle
ment, on the ground that the German
military control is worse than Chinese
management.
Prince Ching says that Emperor

How a Girl of sixteen Supports Tier
Mother, sister and Brother.
The Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph:
Young In years, but full of vigor and
buoyancy of youth, pretty Bertha
Wall, a girl OF 16, has a career as a
ferry maid on the Ohio river that for
the novelty of it's features is rarely
surpassed.
For months the yourg girl has been
the sole support Of her mother, young
er sister and brother. Week in and
week out, unaided and alone, she has
piled her big ferry skiff back and forth
across the Ohio to secure for
providing for her helpless mother and
sister.
Bertha lives with her mother IN On
old, but Incorporating houseboat, on
the banks of the Ohio river, near the
Pressed Steel Car company's works, in
Lower Allegheny. This oat has been
her home for the past six years.
The idea Of running a regular fcTry
came TO her through The suggestions
Of mill men who cross the river at this
point to the McKee's Rocks side to
and from their work in tho big mills.
Partly through the efforts of gener-
Gus contributors a skiff was procured
and the girl entered upon a new career.
She found her task rather at
first, and her fair young hands We're
covered with many q blister at the end
of a days toll. But soon the muscles
Of her arms bade fair to rival those OF
the crack oarsmen of a varsity crew
Now she thinks nothing of rowing six
or eight stalwart men over the river Oh
a single trip. Some days h makes
as man. as forty trips, and has been
known to take in es much as 50 a day
as a result of her toll.
The widespread popularity of heI
ferry, however, aroused the ire of less
favored ferrymen living in shanty
boats near by. First, her best skifi
was stolen, and later a new n was
turned loose on the river. Finally, she
was not permitted TO land her skif or
the McKees Rocks shore at the barge
landing, but was made TO run her boat
in at some obscure point. Considera-
BILE trouble arose over the ownership
and use of n pair of wooden steps lead
ing down the river embankment to the
shore. The climax was reached ont
night last week. Richard Griffeths, c
ferryman, tried to lay violent hands
on her. Only. the timely appearance OF
a mill man and the presence of hel
faithful dog, which usually accom'
panies her for protection, v hel
from serious injury at his hands. A.
a result, suit was promptly enteref
against Griffeths or a charge of dis
orderly conduct before Alderman
Lynch. At the hearing Griffeths wa:
fined $40 and costs or twenty days II

as personal property were declared tc
be government property, and it was
