that the walls were not strong

Far up on the Labrador coast lives
Nurse Cawardine. who for eight long

ter hospital on q thousand-mila coast
line.
The hospital Is on outcome Of the
Royal National Mission to the Deep
Sea Fishermen Of England, q medical
mission founded back in the sos. and
much favored by Queen Victoria. who
always had a warm spot IN her heart
for the soldier and sailor lads of Eng
land. The hospital ships of the mis-
sion piled for some years only among
the British fishing boats of the Ger
man ocean. but in 1892 increased sup
port enabled the mission to send Il
hospital boat to the fishing banks of
Labrador.
There, each summer, comes a mot
ley feet of fishing craft. Most of the
fishermen are Newfoundlers. who bring
with them their wives, children. dogs.
goats and fowls. These are packed
in cabin and hold in friendly promis-

thousand miles Of coast. and this great
fleet, scattered over this vast distance
Is entirely without medical assistance
except that furnished by the mission.
The hospital ship piled to and fro along
the banks, but early in the first sea-
son it was perceived that shore hos
pitals were needed to relieve its crowd
ed wards. Two were speedily estab-
lished. for the summer only: but when
the days began to shorten and the
boats sailed away southwark it seemed
impossible to leave the 5000 people
upon that dreary coast without nurse
or doctor through the long winter.
So one doctor stayed to patrol the
coast. going up and down even as
the hospital ship had followed its beat
on the waters. while in the log hospital
on Caribou island Nurse Ada Caward-

school. remained to hold the fort alone.

More Scandals.

More Scandals.
In addition to the gigantic scandal
in the Postoffice Department which is
seriously crippling its usefulness, in
which the public are so much interest
ed, the era of loot appears to have
become epidemic and has spread to our
new possessions.
In Manila smuggling by some of the
quartermasters, who are in command
of the transports, has been discovered,
and in Porto Rico a number of officers
of the army and navy and some high
civil employees have been convicted of
the same Offense. In the latter cases
serious scandal had been developed
which involves the administration. for
of the cabinet the convicted officers
have been allowed to compromise the
cases against them by paying fines.
This extraordinary favOritism would
probably have never come to public
knowledge if some native Porto Ric-
ans had not been convicted of similar
crimes and are now serving long SELL
tences in the penitentiary. The injus-
tice of placing one set of culprits be-
hind the bars and allowing the others
to go free because they had official in
fiuence and were officers of the United
States. created great sensation
amongst the Porto Ricans. They had
fondly imagined that the laws of the
United States would be strictly ell
forced against all alike and that the
era of compounding felonies had pass
ed away with the retirement of the
Spaniards. The friends of the Porto
Ricans who are undergoing confine
ment in the penitentiary for smuggling
are now demanding that they be par
dOned.

Department says: 1T WAS directed by
