WON FAME IN WAR.
DISTINGUISHED SOLDIER WHO
DIED RECENTLY.
Brighten. John P. Hatch was a Dis
tinguished military oenius-Co-operated
with sherman in the Destructive Cam
paign in Georgia.

Brig. Gen. John Porter Hatch, u. s.
A., who died in New York the other
day, was a distinguished military man.
He was a great-grandson of Maj. Moses
Porter, aide of Benedict Arnold at the
battle Of Saratoga, and was born in
1922. Graduating from West Point in
1S45, he participated in every battle Of
the Mexican war and was three times
brevetted for gallantry on the field
Of battle. President Lincoln made
him a brigadier general at the break
ing out Of the civil war. He served
under Gen. Banks in the Shenandoah
valley and made a notable record as
a tactician and for bravery in the
field. In the second battle of Bull Run
he was severely wounded, and was also
wounded in the battle of South Noun
tain. For conspicuous bravery in the
latter engagement Gen. Hatch was
awarded a medal by congress. During
the famous march through Georgia
Gen. Hatch co-operated with Gen.
Sherman, being in command of the
coast division. At the close of the war
he resumed his place as a major in
the Fourth Cavalry, and was retired
in 1886 as colonel of the Second Cav
airy and second brigadier general.
Gen. Hatch was a member of the
Army of the Potomac Society, presi-
dent Of the Aztec Club Of AZ, the
Loyal Legion, Foreign Wars Society,
and was also a prominent Grand Army
man. He leaves a widow, one son.
Mark b., Of Washington, and one
daughter, Miss Harriet A. Hatch of

WANTS TO RETIRE.
A Sunday School Treasurer 81 Years De-
sire to Stop Work.

A Sunday school Treasurer 81 Years De-
sire to Stop Work.
The Oldest ~oficeholder in this vicin-
ity has retired from office, says the
St Louis Globe-D Democrat. At the age
of 81 the treasurer of the Bellevue
Presbyterian Sunday school, after per-
forming the duties of that important
position of trust for sixty-one years,
refuses point blank to do the work
the impression that it could depend on
its treasurer going right along until
he was 100 or 1875 years old, doing
their work for them. But a man owes
something to himself, much as he may
wish to serve his fellow creatures and
the Lord, and in justice to his fam
lily and his W future ought to retire
before all the fire of his youth has
spent itself. No man ought. to work
a day after 81. Too many men go
right along piling up task after task
as their proficiency grows with years,
until they are cut off in their fresh
young manhood of so or 80, when, if
Albg ndu AOA ONtA WI hChf We ohOuAh
have had them with us yet, to on
fer on us the benefit and blessing Of
their ripe experience and Judgment.
Every thinking person will heartily
endorse the determination of the
treasurer Of the Bellevue Sunday
school in stopping work at the time
he does. Sixty-one years is enough
time to give to n one religious or
ganization. After such a successful
record one would better see what he
can do with other Sunday schools, if
he still wishes to continue in the har-
ness. 1t may be said hat the proud
est record in these parts has been
made by this gentleman. For, in the
sixty-one years that he has been in
charge of the Sunday school finances,
not a cent has been missing and the
school has always had money. He
would have been a prize to any mu-
nicipality.

HEAD OF OUR ARMY NURSES.
Mrs. Dita II. Kinney Enjoys the Unique
and Honorable DlstiL elton.

Mrs. Dita H. Kinney holds the
unique distinction of commanding a
corps in the regular army. says Les
lies Weekly. Her force, however, is
not made up of fighting men. 1t com
prises the young women serving in the
American military hospitals scattered
all over the world. There are hun
dreds Of these gentle Samaritans in
the army nursing corps. In their SOFT
uniform Of white linen. with a tiny
red cross attached to the collar, they
are to be found in the farthest cor
ner Of the earth where the stars and
stripes have been planted. Wherever
they may be, all these army nurses
are under the control Of Mrs. Kinney,
and from her office in the war depart
ment' at Washington she directs the
work Of the entire corps. The posi-
ton takes with it the responsibility
of nursing an army of over 100000
men, and it is the most important ave
held by a woman nurse. Although
women had long been employed in at
tending the sick soldiers Of Britain

thing as a corps Of female nurses in
the American army until the outbreak
of the Spanish American war. Since
then they have been retained as a per-
manent institution. The nurses must
be graduates from a training school
giving a two-year course, and they are
paid from $40 to SIS a month. Mrs.
Kinney, who was graduated from n
of the Boston hospital schools several
years ago, Joined the corps Don after
the outbreak of the war. She served
in the great hospital at the Preside
in San Francisco, and was in charge
of the surgical word. Several weeks
ago she was ordered by telegraph to
report to Surgeon General Sternberg
at Washington. Though much puz-
zled at the instruction, she hurried on
to the capital. There she was amazed
to find that she had been elevated to
the command of the entire nursing
corps.

From SOD House to Governor.

Ezra Perrin Savage, who will soon be-
come governor of Nebraska and live in
the beautiful executive mansion at Lin
coin, lived in a sod house in 1880. He
was born in Connorsville, Ind, in 1912,
and was left at the age Of 10 years the
sole support of his widowed mother
and the family Of little brothers and
sisters, Young Savage worked hard
on farms and in other occupations,
meanwhile managing to pass through
high school and college. He studied
law, removed to Iowa. made some
money in land speculation, and then re-
moved TO Nebraska. He was the first
mayor of South Omaha, laid out the
town of Sargent, and grew rich when
the railroad was built through the
town. Among his other good records is
one he won as a soldier and scout for
Grant and Sherman during the civil
war.

Children, says a writer in the Spec
tator, have a strange sense of justice.
They have been taught to sympathize
with the sufferings of animals, and to
show them an unvarying kindliness.
Human beings. on the contrary, are
divided, in their minds, into the two
classes of good and bad. The good are
to be rewarded, after the manner of
fairy tales; the bad are to be punished.
Ronald's father one day gave an ami
mated description Of a bull-fght,
meaning thereafter to point a moral.
But the lad was delighted. Wouldn't
you like to see a bull-hght, daddy?"
he asked breathlessly. why, no, my
boy. Surely you wouldn't want to see
cruel men batting the bull? You
wouldn't like to see poor horses sored
to death?" NO" said Ronald, with
the thoughtfulness of eight years. Il

a ROYAL PHYslcIAN.
Duke Charles Theodore Of bavaria =
True Phnanthropist.

Duke Charles Thoodore OF bavaria r
True PhnanthropIst.
Few names are craven on the rolls
of royalty whose bearers have elected
a lifework other than that to which
their lineage has made them heirs.
The most conspicuous instance of this
in modern history is DR.. Karl Theo-
dor, as he choosea to be called, other
wise Duke Charles Theodore OF Bava-
ria, head of the side line Of the king
dom's royal house. who has abdicated
in favor of his younger brother, in
order that he may the more complete
ly give himself up to scientific pur-
suits. BY rigid devotion to the study
Of medicine, and. in particular, the
science of ophthalmology, he has at
tanned such rank in his profession that
his clinics are known to scientific
men all over the world. These elm
les are conducted irrespective of fnan-
cial considerations, and any worthy
man can have the benefit Of the ducal
doctors skill and knowledge without
cost.
1t was the Franco-Prussian war that
first turned the dukes mind to the
profession of a physician. He took
an active part in many of the battles,
and became particularly interested in
the hospital service, and at the close
of the wal he announced his inten-
ton Of studying medicine. Naturally
this resolve aroused much opposition
in his family. The strongest pressure
was brought to bear upon him, but he
was steadfast. Willingly foregoing his
political rights, he entered the clinic
of a distinguished Russian professor
at Mentone, whittier he had gone for
his health. Thereafter he assisted at
various clinics in Vienna, in all of
which he was noted for his indefatig-
able industry and patience, and whole
souled devotion to his work. Eventu-
ally he became an Independent opera
tor in eye surgery, in which branch
he soon gained a high reputation.
Having given his time, the duke
now set about giving his none to
his profession. On Lake Tegernsee,
at the foot of the Bavarian Alps, he
built and endowed a large hospital. In
this building is maintained one Of the
dukes famous ophthalmic clinics, to
which the afflicted gather from far
and near. At Munich, Merane, in Aus
tria, and near Mentone, he established
other clinics, spending part of the year
at each. But it is the hospital On the
Bavarian lake that he loves the best,
and there most of his time is spent.

After a Long Incarceration, Some Grim
Inals Dislike Freedom.


lnals Dislike Freedom.
After the civil war many negroes
found themselves so helpless in their
suddenly enforced freedom that they
begged to be restored to slavery. From
long habit they had grown attached
to slave life. So we find prison life
endeared to long-term convicts.
Comte de Lorge, confined for thirty
years in the Bastile, declared when
released that freedom had no joys for
him, and, imploring in vain to be al
lowed to return to his dungeon, pined
to death in six weeks. When Chin
wang the Chaste assembled the throne
Oh China he ordered the prisons to be
thrown open. A venerable prisoner of
IS years pleaded that he might be al
lowed to remain in his cell. For sixty
three years he had lived in its gloom
and felt that he could not bear the
glare of the sun and the hustle Of the
city.
A woman in Leyden, or the explra-
ton of a long term Of imprisonment,
begged for permission to return to her
cell, adding If the request were re-
fused as a favor she would commit
some crime which would give her a
title to her old quarters. A prisoner
condemned to death had his sentence
committed to seven years close CON
finement on a bed of nails. At the end
of FIVE years he declared that if ever
he were released he would adopt from
choice what habit had rendered so
agreeable to him. A well-known
criminal once said that he had grown
to like the quiet and the subuued light
of his cell, the spots and patches on
the walls, the hardness of his bed and
the regularity of his life, with its free
dom from all care and worry. He did
not wish to be released. It is an ev-
eryday practice of negroes to commit
offenses that will return them to the
chain gang. where they will be in ia
miliar company and get plenty to eat
and drink.

Transit Employees Difference OF Opin-
ion Results in a Judgment.
Judgments in favor of the plaintiffs
were entered yesterday in the damage
suits of Henry and Valentine Sauer-
brun against the st. Louis Transit
company in the sum of $500, in each
case, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The point in dispute was wheth-
err or not the st. Louis Transit Com
pany should carry a passenger and a
live turkey for one fare. According to
the petitions in the cases a difference
of opinion exists among the employees
of the Transit company on this ques-
ton. The Messrs. Sauerbrun relate in
their petitions that November 20 last
they boarded a car of the Broadway
line at O'Fallon street, each carrying a
live turkey. They say the conductor
made no objection to hauling them and
their turkeys for single fares, but that
he accepted their money and gave
them transfers to the Easton avenue
line. On this line, however. trouble
ensued. The conductor refused to ac-

they had no right to. bring the turkeys
on the car at all, and ordered them to
get off. They demurred, and the con-
ductor called a policeman and had
them arrested. They were arraigned
before Judge Sidener, who dismissed
the cases against them. They filed
suits for $500 actual and $500 punt
tive damages each. Yesterday the case
Of Henry Sauerbrun was called in
division No. 6 of the circuit court.
When the venire was called it was
found that only sixteen persons who
had been summoned on the jury had
responded, and the case could not pro-
coed without eighteen. 1t was also
noted that eight of the sixteen jurors
who appeared were Hebrews, of the
same faith as the plaintiffs. After a
short parley a compromise was effect
ed in both cases, as stated. The suit
of Valentine Sauerbrun was in division
No. /, and a similar judgment was en-
tered in this case.

Hunger Analysed.

We feel hungry when the blood yes
sells Of the stomach are comparatively
empty. When food is taken and diges-
ton begins there is a rush OF blood to
the stomach and the hunger is appeas-
ed. Many anemic patients have no ap-
petite even, when the stomach is
empty, but the blood vessels of the
stomach are not empty in such cases,
but rather c~ongested. In healthy peo-
pie lack Of blood in the stomach acts
upon a special nerve and the nerves Of
the mouth and tongue are branches Of
the same nerve trunk. Hence a stimu-
LUIS applied to the tongue by a spice,
for example, creates Or increases APP
petite. On the other hand, when the
nerves Of the tongue are affected by a
diseased condition of the mucous
membrane of the mouth, the patient
has no appetite, though his stomach
may be empty and he may be in actual
need OF food.
