FAMOUS WAR NURSE DEAD
She Went Out With the Second New
Hampshire Regiment

Concord, N. H, April 25-Harriett
Patience Dame, the famous war nurse,
is dead at her home in this city She
began her charitable work at the out
break of the civil war. She opened her
house as hospital as soon as the vol
unteers began to come to Concord.
When the Second New Hampshire
regiment went to Portsmouth to be
accompanying the regiment to that
city and when they left to do service
in the south she followed. There were
only seven other women in the country
who did active service in the field as
nurses. and of these Miss Dame was
the only one to remain until the war
was over. In the peninsular campaign
she shared fortunes with the soldiers,
spending her first night in Yorktown
in a feed box in a stable.
At the retreat to the James her cour-
age and endurance rose to the height of
sublime heroism. The announcement
to the sick men in her care that those
who could not walk must be left behind
fell upon many as their death knell.
Miss Dame was urged to join in the
retreat and get to a place of safety,
but she refused unless her boys as
she called them, were taken with her
Finally arrangements were made to
convey the sick ones to the nearest
railroad station, and when the army
started Miss Dame was at the head of
the column With feet incaSed in rub
mosquito cloth and with a coffee boiler
and a small amount of coffee the brave
little army in a march of four days
reached a station where a troop was
being loaded onto the cars.
In the second Bull Run campaign in
Ccnterville Miss Dame was at Slime
church and was taken a prisoner, her
captor threatening to shoot her if she
did not surrender without protest. She
was taken under guard to the tent of
Stonewall Jackson who, after learning
Miss Danes mission within the lines,
ordered a guard to escort her to the
northern lines.
She soon after organized the New
Hampshire Relief association, and was
sent by Governor Gilmore to South
Carolina to investigate the condition of
northern soldiers. Miss Dorothy Dix
vigorously protested against the send
| ing of a woman on such mission, but
| Miss Dame was obdurate and started
on her journey The result of her in
| vestigations, which We're reported by
| her to Surgeon General Barnes, was
that the conveys Argo and Fulton were
| ordered to do duty as hospital boats,
and were the first ones used in such
service.
At the battle of Gettysburg Miss
| Dame did valiant service on the field
In the spring of 1864 she took the field
with the army of the James. With
the surrender of the rebel army she
remained with her regiment until the

perience of unparalleled and indescrib-

the most helpless of mankind, claims
the attention. the pity and the succor of
every member of the family of nations.
We, many Of us, bear in grateful mem
DRY, as do our Indian brothers and sis
tiers, the relief which American gener-
osity brought to thousands and tens of
thousands in India, in the famine of
1897; in the far more powerful vista

HEW TO THE LINE.
Buildings Within Fire Limits Must
Conform to Rules.

The fire department committee of the
city council will grant no more special
permits concerning deviations from the
ordinance regulating the erection of
buildings within the fire limits. 1t is
frequently the case that people who
wish to put up new buildings within
the fire limits wish to vary them slight
ly from the requirements of the city
ordinance. If the new building is not
near other buildings, or if the change is
not such as to endanger other buildings,
special permission is generally granted
by the committee to make the changes
There has been so much of this sort
of thing since the building boom began
this spring that the committee is kept
busy investigating the applications. The
decision of Chief Wilmarth, of the fire

to use his best judgment in all applica-
tions to the future, without consulting

JONES PULLED THROUGH.
New Hampshire Renegade Democrat
Delegate to Philadelphia.

Concord, N. H. April 25.-The Repub-
1ican state convention to elect delegates
to the national convention at Philadel-
phia was held here yesterday. Senator
J. B. Gallingher, assistant chairman of
the state committee. called the dele
gates to order. N. B. Bryant of Andover
was presiding officer.
A motion that the secretary cast one
ballot for J. B. Gallinger, Frank Jones,
William c. Clarke, and Thomas N.
Hastings as delegates to the national
convention was lost after f. P. Rowell,
of Newport, had expressed opposition to
the election of Mr. Jones, whom he de-
clared to be renegade from the Demo-
cratic part and unfit to represent the
state at the Republican convention.
James o. TyfOrd, of Concord, replied
that the movement to send Mr. Jones
was designed to cement with the party
those Democrats who voted with the
Republicans in 1896 for William McKin-
ley. The ballot for delegates resulted
in the choice Of the four persons named
but while the others each received more
than 40 votes, Mr. Jones had 1896. The

CUTS IN IRON.
Sharp Decline in Prices of Various
Products

Pittsburg, Pa, April 25.-Two sharp
cuts in iron and steel products have
been made. Foundy pig iron No. was
offered today at $3.50 a ton for early
delivery. This is a cut of So on quo
tations made a few days ago. Quota
tons on this product have been higher,
but it has been possible for some time
to get it at Pittsburg for So. so. Open
hearth billets have been reduced from
$40 and S42 a ton to $38 and $40. It
was reported that a cut of So a ton in
bessemer pig had been made, but this
lacks confirmation. While the price of
bessemer is $33. it is said that large
contracts can be placed at S32. so.
Manufacturers here, in spite of the
recent stagnation in the market still
maintain their belief that there will be
no general slump in iron and steel
prices. They say it is a question of
only a short time when the market will
react and prices reach a higher mark
than before.

An investigation extending over the last
two months into the reports that a con-
spiracy had been planned in the United
States against Canada on account of the
Boer war has brought out nothing to SUBJ
stantiate them.
This investigation was conducted as a
result of representations made to the
state department by the British govern
ment. 1t is certainly a fact according to
state department officials, that no evil
dence has been obtained showing that per
sons in this country conspired to destroy
