IT is interesting to follow the course OF
some of the new members who came 10
Washington last December cooked ana
primmed to distinguished themselves IN
the mills of Congress. Each man had a
bullying pocket full of bills, relating to the
financial question: the colonial and foreign
policy of the government, public building
bills amendments TO the river and mar
Dor bill, and an unlimited number of pri-
vate claims, all of which he had pledged
his constituents to pass through Congress
during the early hours of the session.
Time has passed, the new member still
has in his possession the great batch of
public business which accompanied him
TO Washington. He has never had the
slightest opportunity to present his bills
in the House, nor has he been allowed
to discuss them His particular occupa-
ton appears TO be to hold down a chair
try to look wise, and contented, vote with
his party on all roll calls, and occasionally
visit the Senate, take seat on one OF
the sofas, and secretly wish that he was
member of that distinguished Million
aires Club. Once in a while new MEM

THE LATE HARRIET p. DAME.
Services of New Hampshire's Famous
Nurse All Through the War.


From the Boston Herald.
Harriet P Dame. New Hampshre's cele-
brated war nurse who died at her home In
Concord on Tuesday night, was native of
Barnstead, N H. and was born July 5,
1915 She was the youngest of five children

moved to Concord in 1913 and, with the
exception Of a short term spent in the west
resided there until the outbreak of the war
She became very much interested, and she
joined the army as matron in June, 1861
and stayed with the soldiers until they
were mustered out in December 1863
She was inside the trenches at Fair Oaks
while the rebels were bombarding them. In
her work she became well known all
through the army, and the soldiers of other
regiments seemed to rival the ID New
Hampshire in admiration for her. At the
second battle of Bull Run Miss Dame was
taken a prisoner by the confederate forces,
but was given a pass through the lines in
consideration of her services to both con-
federatcs and Union men.
August L., 1852, she was PLACED in charge
of all the supplies for sick soldiers sent
from New Hampshire, and distributed them
among the most needy hospitals. She was
at the battle of Gettysburg, and was later
sent south to Charleston to investigate the
sanitary CONDITIONS OF New Hampshire
troops stationed there. In 1864 she was
appointed matron of the 18th Hospital
Corps and was given supervision of all the
nurses on duty and of the cooking of food
for the sick and wounded.
Miss Danes army service lasted four
years and eight months. Since the close Of
the war Miss Dame had been honored with
the right to wear the cross of the 18th
Corps. the diamond of the Sd Corps of
Hooker's division, the heart of the 18th
Corps, and n beautiful badge presented to
her by the I'd New Hampshire Regiment.
She was a United States pensioner. but
gave her entire income from that source.

than Anthony Hopes second Zenda

In the dramatization of this stirring

material sufficient for half dozen plays,
and the effort of the dramatist was TO.
ward condensation rather than elabora-
ton of incident and action. The result
is a drama for virility Of action and
wealth of incident has not been exceIled
in modern play building. The story
opens with spirit, unfolds with rapidity
and reaches its conclusion after series
of STIRRING scenes ingeniously and effect
lively interviewer with a thread of senti-
ment which heightens the effect with
out delaying the action. The duel scene
of the third act and the climax which
follows it are said to carry off the palm
for novelty of method and ingenuity Of
while the same effect is
reached at the conclusion of the fourth
act and the play by the adoption of ex-
actly opposite means Both climaxes
are said to be very much out of the
ordinary in setting and effect. The en-
tire production of Rupert of Hentzau, Z"
including scenery, costumes and acces-
series, is direct from the Lyceum Theatre
New York, and care has been taken to
maintain the Frohman standard in this
presentation. Mr.. Howard Gould,
whose Characterization of the King and

was the feature of that remarkable pro-
duction under Mr. Frohman's manages
ment, has been surrounded by a com
pany of excellence.
