when an international conference
was convoked at Geneva to devise
means for the relief of the suffering
and wounded in time of war; four
teen governments and many socie-
ties were represented at this con-
vention and a treaty was agreed
upon. This was the organizatio of
the first society for the systematic
care of the wounded in war. For
three centuries or more medical serv-
ice had been attached to armies, but
the horrors of the Crimean war in
1886 showed that they were not
sufficient for the emergencies and
that systematic organization was
necessary for the care of the health
of the troops and the care of the
wounded in battle. 1t was this war
that led up to the organization of
the society,"
The American National Red Cross
association was formed in 1881, and
was brought about mainly throug h
the efforts of Miss Barton, she be-
coming it's first president. Miss Bar
ton is a native of Massachusetts,
where she was born seventy-three
years ago. At the beginning of the
civil war she left her place as a
clerk in the patent Office at Wash
ington to nurse the wounded and
suffering, and from that time on has
devoted her life to the vocation. Aft
er the war Miss Barton established
a bureau at Washington to search
for missing men, and at one time
went to Andersonville, where the
bodies of more than 10000 soldier s
were disinterred, identified and re-
inferred in marked graves under her
direction. She was thus the origina-
tor of the National cemetary.
At the breaking out Of the Franco
Prussian war the International Red
Cross committee requested Miss Bar
ton to join them in s"relief work,
and as the result of her labors she
was decorated by Emperor William
and Empress Augusta. Upon her re-
turn to the United States she worked
to secure the adoption Of the Red
Cross treaty, which she finally sue
ceeded in doing in 1881. s
Some years after Miss Barton Sc
cured an amendment to the consti-
tuition which enabled the American
body to work also to relieve suffer
ers by disasters. She distributed re-
lief in the Russian famine in 1892.
headed an expedition in the Armen-
ian troubles of 1896 and at the re-
quest of the president carried relief
to starving Cuba in 1898. She did
personal field work in the Spanish
American war, conducted relief work
at Galveston after the great tidal
wave and assisted in the relief Of suf-
ers from Mont Pelee and others OF
the West Indian disasters.

RED CROSS SOCIETY
History Of the Organization Found
ed by Miss Clara Barton.
internal Dimensions Are Now Ag1ta-
:: ting the Workers-Rear-Adm
Van Reypen Proposed as Presi-
dent of the Society.

The question of Miss Clara Barton's
retirement as active head or her re-
tention of the presidency Of the
American Red Cross society, has re-
Gently stirred up considerable feeling
among the workers Of that order. A
movement was placed on foot to make
Miss Barton the honorary president
of the society for life, and placing
somebody else in active control of
the American branch of the order.
The opponents of Miss Barton's dom
ination of the society argue that at
her advanced age she is unable to
personally manage the business of
this great organization successfully,
citing certain recent acts, but her
friends are firm in her support and
say they will not let her be forced
Out of the control of the society aft
er SO many years of faithful and
heroic service.
Rear Admiral Van Reypen has been
mentioned as Miss Barton's success
sor as the best fitted person for the
position. He has had some expert
ence in Red Cross work, his medical
training would be useful, and it is
presumed he would be acceptable to
Miss Barton. He is now retired, has
leisure, and it is thought could be in
duced to take the place if harmoni-
Gus arrangement of Red Cross affairs
could be secured. 1t was proposed to
retire Miss Barton on an annuity for
life, with the title. of honorary presi-
dent. but her friends and followers
say that she would never consent to
such an arrangement. Such, in brief,
is the internal dissension of the So
ciety. and it remains to be seen which
side will win.
The Red Cross society has been in
existence now for about forty years,
and to-day is organized in almost
every country on the globe. Febru-
airy 9, 1868, may be taken as the
starting point of the organization,

is seen in the various articles, and the
man who would be up-to-date is given
a wide range in the selection of his
goods and still may be strictly in line.
In the line of shirts the tan-colored
varieties have lost none of their favor
of last season. One of the most FASH
ionable ones seen is of flannel Of very
light tone, with a double line or stripe
in brown, intended for morning wear
with sack suits or visiting clothes. The
buttons are of pearl, the front cut
square and the cuffs made to turn back,
the link sleeve buttons passing through
thicknesses of material. In the fan
mel shirts the designs are nearly all in
simple stripe effects and are quite pop
ular. The shades of the fine French
and English fannels are exceedingly
delicate in tone and among them the
coat of mixed material.
Gray: in it's various shades, has
proved a popular color and many neat
designs in various articles Of dress are
shown. This is particularly true of the
necktie. One of the newest has body
color of soft gray with pretty design
in white and black. The tie is the once
over Ascot or English square cravat
and ties over a wing collar of fashion,
able shape
Another model that will undoubtedly
find favor is a black silk with a spot de-
sign in light gray made with an irregu-
lar effect. This tie is folded int shape
below the neckband so that it can be
desired These ties are generally made
up with large knot and look best with
a wing collar. Narrow four-in-hands
are no longer fashionable, the swell

consent to the bill legalizing the race.
Committees representing the Automo-
bile Club of Great Britain and Ireland
are hard at work on the details of this
important contest. The cars that are
to participate will embody the latest
and most approved principles of con-
struction, power and speed, and the
men who will pilot them will be the
worlds most renowned drivers. Pre-
yious to 1902 the international race was
of secondary Importance. Last year it
was dwarfed by the Paris-Vienna con-
test. But this year, by special act of
parliament, it comes into. its own.

fully the route has been mapped out.

broad but winding, to Currag h. where

take the racers to ryborough. Thence
east to stradbally, Al miles, and on to
Athy the roads will be found to be
broad but likely to be cut up by heavy
traffic. From Athy to Old Kilcullen
(73 miles) the best stretch of road will
be found. From Kilcullen the road
goes in an acute angle to the right and
follows the main Carlow road to Car
low (94 miles). Throughout the whole

Stanley, who had left Zanzibar on his
way to the interior more than two
years before that, appeared on the
shores of the Atlantic, revealing to
the world the course of the mighty
Congo. King Leopold, realizing the
Importance of the discovery, found
ed, in November, 1873, the committee
for the exploration of the upper
Congo. This company was composed
of English, French, Dutch and Bel
gian capitalists, and had for it's OBJ
ject the exploration of the entire val
ley Of the Congo, to ascertain as
nearly as possible the resources of
the country, to study the customs of
its people and to open up. trade
with them by exchanging European
manufactured articles for their natu-
raj products. The management of
this undertaking was assigned to
Stanley, who set out for Africa in
1879. This expedition was so much
of success that the committee de-
cided to submit the territories they
had discovered to stronger and more
independent administration, which
should be recognized by powers, thus
assuming a political role. With this
in view the committee changed it's
name to the International Associa-
ton of the Congo. By the close of
the year 1883 this association had
secured nearly 1000 treaties by which
the native chiefs coded to them their
sovereign rights to the territory they
occupied. It is interesting in this
connection to note the fact that the
United States was the first nation to
recognize the flag Of the international
Association Of the Congo as that of
friendly nation. H f.. 5 81. -
In November, 1884, conference Of
the nations was held in Berlin. This
conference traced out the valley of
the Congo, fixed upon the form of
legislation by which the new state
was to be governed, accorded to it
the political privilege Of neutrality,
prescribed measures for the protec-
ton Of the natives and the prohibi-
ton Of the slave trade, and declared
free the navigation Of the Congo
river, its amuents and the lakes and
canals depending thereon. 81
. On May g. 1885, the local govern
ment was organised and Leopold IL.
became sovereign of the Congo Free
State.
