Harrisburg Pa, March 8.-The first
train into Mid3,etown since last Thurs
day arrived Mot.5ay by way Of the
Middletown & Hunamellstown railroad.
The water there is s.nl one loot high
er than in the great flood Of 1899, and
there is much suffering aM2ug resi-
dents of the lowlands.
The Central iron and steel works at
South Harrisburg are still closed down
and will not be able to resume opera
lions until the water in the river re-
cedes. The Pennsylvania steel plant
is also closed and none Of the other
large industries in the flooded districts

dict with certainty whether the worst
of the food is over.

megaphone communication has been
established with the marooned inhabit-
ants of Shelly's island and all are re-
ported safe. No news can be obtained

Many Of the foreign female contin-
gent complain that our capital Is dull
compared with the gay capitals of the
old world, especially on Sundays!
Across the water. the fun starts imme-
diately after mass Sunday morning.
'Theaters and concerts are in full blast
during the afternoon and the cafes do
9 big business. They have special sing
ers and q band of music, psalms and
hymns are not on the programme! 1t
was perhaps to pander to the tastes of
our foreign distinguished population
that the congressional library and Cor
coran gallery of art throw open their
doors at noon Sunday!
Crowds throng both buildings during
the entire afternoon of Sunday and
they are not all foreigners by any
means! In fact, it is about the only
time the government clerks have for
enjoying the advantages offered by
both institutions and they make the
most Of it. The librarian of congress
had to put an extra force of clerks on
Sunday afternoon, and it is sometimes
almost impossible to elbow your way
through the crowds in the main gal
leries of the Corcoran art gallery. The
theaters, too, are frequently opened
here on Sunday evenings for the rem
dition of an oratorio lecture or sacred
concert. In few years 1t looks as II

American nurses are going to the

has received a cable message from his
government accepting the offer made by
DR.. Anita Newcomb MCGEE, of Wash

trained nurses who have seen field serv-
ice in the camps and hospitals of the
United States army. No one is eligible
to join the party except graduate wom-
en- nurses who have been in the army.
The first party will sail early in March
and proceed to Osaka, Japan, the port
on the Inland sea, which is the base to
which disabled troops will come when
sent home from the battlefield. There
they will place themselves under the or
ders of the military authorities to be
sent wherever they are most needed.
All may be together or they may be d.
vided into different parties. There Is in
Japan a large official Red Cross organl-
cation which furnishes INN ense guam

with the members of that society

Chased BY Wolves.

10 be chased across the Ice OlS-
lance of five miles with q pack of mad
wolves in hot pursuit, and burning his
clothing to keep the animals off, was
the adventure which Otto Bremner ex'
perienced.
Bremner is employed at the Schroed-
er lumber camp in Cook county and
while going to Tafte, postoface down
the shore, for supplies, he noticed a
pack of wolves short distance out on
the ice feeding on the carcass of deer
thew had run down. He tried to sneak
by without being noticed, but their
sharp eyes viewed him, and they were
soon in full chase. He had pack up
on his shoulders, and reaching for a
garment therein. set it afire, and ran
with flame streaming behind him.
When one garment was consumed he
lighted another, and finally the pack
sack itself itself was used as torch
and before he reached Tafte he strip
ped off his macintosh and consigned
it to the flames.
The wolves were in hot pursuit. but
kept at q considerable distance from
the blaze. Bremner was completely
exhausted from his race for life, but
barring few burns upon his hands
and face. he was little the worse for
adventure.

At Johnstown, Pa, where oil their
numerous descendants lived, and where
forty three members Of the family, be-
ing all of them with the exception OF
Mrs. Wskeley and one son, were over
taken by the flood Of May 81, 1883.
With this son Mrs. Wakeley came to
LIE Sueur county, and bought large
farm in Sharon township. Six years
later they rented the farm and moved
to Galveston, Texas, where the son
lost his life in the storm and tidal
wave that befell that city. Yet Mrs
Wakeley escaped that terrible disaster
and went back and again resided on
the farm, where she resided until the
time of her death, dying intestate.
In default Of all heirs at law, her
property, which amounts to about &c..
