Nurses Experience.

Medical men say that good nurse
in difficult case is better than med
icine, but when we can get a good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King, are
well worthy the attention of all
readers:
az have constantly used ST. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations 1 have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy-wen rubbed in. I can
strongly recommend it after several years.

household"
Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrews Hospital,
writes: 81 have found ST. Jacobs Oil most
eficacious remedy in govt also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it

shiioh.s Monuments.

The twenty-one monuments to be
erected on Shiloh battlefield by Sept.
1, 1902, are all to be of the same size.
Nineteen will mark the points where
the Indiana regiments of infantry were
engaged and two will mark the posi-
tons of the two batteries. The accom-
panying picture is the design for the
infantry monuments. The battery
monuments will be the same except
that crossed cannon and balls will APP
pear instead of the accoutrements of
infantry.
The monuments will be of Bedford
limestone and will be sixteen feet and
six inches high. The first base is eight
feet and two inches square. The shaft
is three feet square at the base. The
design is by John R. Lowe, who lives
at 2140 North Pennsylvania street, In
dianapolis.

Faithful Horse.

When the Duke of Wellington was
fighting in Spain there were two horses
which had always drawn the same gun,
side by side, in many battles. At last
one was killed, and the other, on hav-
ing his food brought as usual, refused
to eat, but turned his head round to
look for his old friend. and neighed
many times as If to call him. All care
was in vain There were other horses
near him, but he would not notice
them, and he soon afterward died, not
having tasted food since his former
companion was killed

The Liberty Bel
am the ancient bell that pea1ed
When Liberty was born,
And blood-drops in the burrows fell
Instead of wheat and corn
The infant nations cradle-song
Was first upon my tongue,
And DER the sea King George grew pale
And trembled as 1 rung.
The dust has gathered in my throat
But not upon my fame;
relic of the glorious past
To CharleStonS fair came
With bands of gallant gentlemen
To guard me on the way.
And banners waving in the breeze,
And martial music gay
Where Marion rode the British down,
And every rocky rill
And whispering woodland bough repeats
His deeds of daring still,
With patriotic memories
1 feel my clapper stir,
AS when old Arabian dreams
Once more of whip and spur.
Where first in deadly battle met
The ranks of gray and blue.
Both North and South unite to-day
To read my legion true:
Proclaim sweet liberty it runs,
My metal rim above,
Throughout the land, and unto all
Inha bitantS thereof.

Gen. Smith Honored.

Gen. James F. Smith, the commander
of the California regiment that headed
the first American military expedition
across the Pacific, was banqueted re-
Gently at the Palace Hotel by the citi-
zens of San Francisco. Having won
his gold star by gallantry in the field,
and having added civic honors to his
military laurels by his able admins
tration of the affairs of the island of
Negros, Gen. Smith lately returned to
take a much-needed rest, preliminary
to returning with renewed zest to his
duties as associate justice of the Su-
preme Court of the Philippines. His
fellow-townsmen, proud of his achieve
ments, paid him by this remarkable
gathering the tribute due to staunch
character, splendid ability and public
services of high order in our new pos
sessions in the Orient.

came on the field after the battle was
over, but the monuments will be erect
ed for them anyhow. Some of the
members of the Fifty-eighth say they
prefer not to have a monument if mot
in action is to be marked on it. They
fear future generations may not under
stand. The Indiana Shiloh Park Com
mission, which the legislature created
to supervise the erection of the monu-
ments, believes that the Second cav
airy and Tenth battery have as much
right to monuments as the regiments
that arrived at the close of the battle,
for they, too, arrived at the close a
little earlier than the regiments. The
legislature, however, appropriated for
nineteen regiments of infantry and
two batteries of artillery, and the COM
mission had no choice. The commits
sion tried without success to find some
body who could speak for the Second
cavalry and Tenth battery
The total cost of the monuments is
S21 900, or 81, 900 each. The commits
sion advertised for the best monument
to be built for 1000. Many of the de-
signs were for granite, but were for
much smaller monuments than the
Bedford stone designs.
The commission does not yet know
what inscriptions the government will
allow to DE placed on the monuments

the commission, has prepared a list of

When the navy turned to building
its ships of steel it was remarked that
unless some device was adopted for
offsetting the effect of heat condensing
on the metal it would be only matter
of short time before all our officers

There is no woman in the Northwest
whose history stands out more prom
iently than does that of Mary Coch-
rane, Familiarity known as Indian
Mary who is at present residing near
the village of Stephensville, on the out
skirts of st. Joseph, Mich. She is in
straitened circumstances that approach
dire poverty. and as she is very old,
the authorities have taken up her case
and will now attempt to make the
rest of her life easy. One need only
to recall a particular period of the ont
break of the civil war. when the whole
press of the north lauded her as a
heroine, and spoke of her brilliant
feat in the rescue and nursing back to
life of Col. James A. Mulligan, of the
famous Twenty-third Illinois infantry,
known as the Irish brigade and who
commanded the Union troops in the
siege of Lexington, Mo-, where Col.
MuIligan was severely wounded.
1t will be remembered that a Union
force was besieged there for several
days, which was commanded by this
intrepid Irish commander, who had
force of $500 men that withstood a
force of 10000 rebel troops under Gen.
Sterling PRICE. Col. Mulligan took
strong position at the east of the town
and built fertilization around the
Masonic seminary, covering eighteen
acres. The attack began on the morn
ing of the 18th of September and last
ed until the goth, in 1861, when Col
Mulligan's forces, being out of pro-
visions and cut off from the water
supply, and himself badly wounded,
surrendered. The officers and men
were paroled after making a defense
that was the theme of the nation at
that time.
Col. Mulligan's wound was thought
to be serious, and he was removed to
an island in the Missouri river, where
he remained several weeks. Indian
Mary went to the rescue of the dying
colonel and nursed him, using only her
well-known Indian remedies, which
soon restored him to life and duty. In
dian Mary accompanied the troops to
the front again, and became one of

Capture Almost Certain.

During the past thirty years there
have been sixty-six escapes from Sing
Sing, and of this number but ten have
never been recaptured; six more were
at large for many years, two of the
six being retaken only after fifteen
years absence; nine others were gone
for from six months to two years;
four were killed outright; three were
severely wounded and recaptured; one
came back voluntarily and politely re-
quested the privilege of serving his
full term, and the remaining twenty
nine were gone but a few hours.

in her use of it. This woman is none
other than Mrs. Emery-Holmes, known
everywhere as the silver queen Of
Utah because her wealth comes from
the silver mines of that state, which
are the richest in the world.
A resident of Salt Lake City, Mrs.
Emery--Holmes has not yet made her
debut in Washington society, but is
credited with the intention of doing
so at an early date and to outshine So
cially any of the personages known
there for many years.
Both the rivals families have mil
lions to the extent of twenty or thirty.
Both were poor and amassed this
wealth
Mrs Edwin F. Holmes, formerly
Mrs Susanna Bransford Emery, is one
of the owners of the famous Silver
King mine of Utah. She is the pos
SCISSOR of the Amelia palace built by
Brigham Young for the one wife who
ruled him and who would not be
herded with the rest. She has his
tory that is romantic. She is hand
some and she is not ignorant of the eff
feet that the glamour of her wealth
has.
Washingtonians have been somewhat
staggered by some of the superlatively
wealth burdened people from the west
The Washes OF Colorado were most
truly kingly in their entertainments.
Piles of glittering dollars are GER
tainly elements in these new century
days that are truly irresistible. Mrs.
Emery-Ho1mes is not averse to trying
the gamut. Her millions will not be
a small factor. Her daughter, Miss
Emery, will be an excellent ally, fo-
she is pretty and engaging in manner.
1t is just possible that a few staid
folk in Washington may object to Mrs.
Holmes installing herself as a queen of
society, for this western woman has
everything in this world that money
can buy except family lineage to back
her. She was a milliner, but the most
garrulous and most envious in Utah
cannot say that they were not good
hats and bonnets her deft fingers
made.
The silver queen" of Utah set the
style in those early days quite as well
as she has ordained for herself to do at
the present day in Washington. The
ladies were then deferential, for her

They climbed together up the ladder of
