sicKRooM TACTICS.


Patient and Tactful.
The proper mental atmosphere Great
ed in sickroom is often as important
as the remedies given. A nurse should
be in touch with her patient-that is,
she should be sympathetic and not al
low irritability and whims to upset her
equanimity. The nurse who can create
an atmosphere of repose, who can hu-
NOR without indulging her patient in
all the idiosyncrasies Of sick people,
has won half the battle. An unsympa-
thetic, impatient nurse will do more to
hinder recovery than the lack Of rem
edies. 1t is not acts and words alone
that help or hinder; her very thoughts
are as potent as her general conduct,
and the sensitive patient will be infiu-
enced for good or i'll if the nurse were
dumb. She should at all times main
tain a positive uplifting mental atti-
tude and remember that the patients
irritability or melancholia is justified
by her physical condition and is not
perverseness.
Gentleness, patience and, above all,
tact are the requisites for good and in
telligent nursing, and the nurse who
lacks these qualities has indeed missed
her calling. Patients have often failed
to improve simply because they did not
fancy their nurse. A nurse must be
likable and make herself liked, and it
takes only plain tact and little cir
cumspection to ingratiate herself with
the most uninteresting Of patients.

TIE jim CROW LAW.
Mrs. Grundy Makes "Odorous
Comparisons"

EDITORS OF MIDLAND JOURNAL =
Knowing the deep interest you take in
all that betters not only our community
but the state and nation, thought 1t
might not be remiss to call the attention
of our quiet, peace loving and progressive
community to what seems 70 me to be a
grievous wrong to race, and to the moral
progress that every state should pride
themselves in.
The Maryland legislature has passed
law requiring railroads and steamboat
companies to furnish separate compart-
ments for the colored people. Is there
not some other piece of legislation far
more needed that would rebound more to
the credit of supposedly representative
class of men who should stand first in
intellectual and moral advancement
The negro, no matter what his stand
ing, solely on account of the ePidermal
tinge, must take separate apartment
while the son of southern Italy with his
gunny sack of cigar stumps gathered
from gutter and alley, his complexion but
shade or two lighter than the colored
man, his body reeking with filth, places
his sack on the seat by him in the steamer
for local passage and you enjoy " the
odoriferous bundle and run the risk of
contracting any kind of contagious
disease from the slum diseased Italian.
This is no pen picture. Time and again
in MY travels I have been obliged, on
railroad trains and street cars, to be
crowded into car where the majority of
the passengers were the dusky denizens
of Little Italy, that every city knows
and breads for their very loathsomeness.
Or even coming down to the race that
we represent direct, what woman who
has ever Travelled even few times be-
tween our own little town and Philada. or
Baltimore, has not been far more dis
turbed by the whiskey and tobacco laden
breath of the white man than by any
descendant of the ex-slaye race. Now
let justice be meted out to every member
of the human family, be they black or
white. Let the black man and the white
man, like and like. be debarred from all
they are untitled for. If the black man
is ignorant and degraded keep back from
him the ballot. If he is filthy debar him
from cleaniy people. But in these days
of enlightenment when brain and NOR
ality should stand for all that is fair and
all that is just. let not the sons of Mary
land misrepresent their constituents to
the world. And let us live for and by
the spirit of the National Constitution
which says: 1.-THE right of every male
citizen to vote shall not be denied or
abridged on account of race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude."
OF course each state may place certain
limitations on the voter SO long as it
covers none of these points. But if the
disfranchisement bill before our legisla.
ture is blow at the colored vote it must
also be blow at the white voter who is
untitled for such far reaching privilege
as casting the ballot. Let the ignorant
and degraded of every race and nation
take their place. Let the good, the pure.
the intelligent be the rulers of every COM
munity and every state.

Are Women Really stingys

Are women meaner in giving than
men? 1t cannot rightly be urged that
they are. Women, after all, in buying
or in giving are commonly making use
of money that others have earned
They have been trustees of other peo-
ple's money for 1000 years, and long
use has made them careful Of their
trust. OF course the petty meannesses
Of certain kind Of woman have af-
forded infinite opportunities for mems
jests and contempt, but those petty
meannesses are nothing in comparison
with the great meannesses of really
sordid men.-London Spectator.

opposed to Mr.. Cleveland, but after the
election Mr.. Kelly took sick and remained
bedfast so long that l finally abandoned thd
idea OF contest"
No one ever knew Just how Samuel j..
Tilden felt over the result Of the contest In
1876 He was bachelor and quite reserved
in his personal habits, and his inmost
thoughts and feelings were known to vere
few men.
He was practically a recluse after the
election and retired to his apartments and
was extremely cautious in all that he said
or did concerning the controversy OF that
time.
Gen. Mcclellan was a very much disap-
pointed man when he learned OF the results
OF his political campaign, but he was scarcely
surprised at the result and had very little
to say about IT, even to his intimates.
Grover Cleveland received the announce
ment Of the result In 1888 with stolidity OF
countenance that amazed where 1t did not
irritate his friends. They had gone into
the campaign in the belief that 1t was a
sure thing; and when the returns OF the
election were received they sustained
shock from which they did not recover for
many days.
But Cleveland himself received the re-
turns with caimness that would have made
the Sphinx look like nervous and irrita-
bic pile Of rocks Before dusk Of the day
when the result was known he was calmly
arranging his plans for one Of his favorite
fishing trips
This apparent indifference to results
was also true of Benjamin Harrison, who
thought that he would be elected in 1892
He had given a good administration and
times were fairly prosperous, but In spite
Of that fact he went down in defeat. He
took the result like a stole, and imme-
diately began to make preparations for
lecturing and for resuming his practice OF
the law
william Jennings Bryan, while not show
ing the GOODNESS and indifference Of Cleve-
land and Harrison, received the news OF
his two defeats with a calmness which
was a proof Of the self-control OF the man.
He heard the news Of the result OF his first
campaign at his home in Lincoln, Neb..
with a smiling oountenance, and IL he felt
any chagrin he did not show 1t to those
who surrounded him. His successful COM
petitor on each occasion had not been fairly
inaugurated before the champion Of the
silver forces was laying out the plans fol-
the contest four years from that time.

HOPKINS WILL STANDS.
Lines Drawn Through the Signature DO
Not Invaiidate 1t.

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y, Oct. 2s.-Mrs.
Robert E. Hopkins Of Tarrytown, the widow
of Major Hopkins, one Of the Standard Oil
capitalists. who left an estate OF six mil
lions, won another victory in the Supr eme
Court at White Plants to-day when Su-
preme Court Justice Keogh decided that
Ma jor Hopkins had not cancelled his will
bv fourteen vertical lines which were found
through his signature at the end OF the
document About 100000 which would
revert to Robert E. Hopkins, Jr., son,
the result OF the fight over the will. which
had been pending in the courts for three
years.
This is the second time that decision
has been rendered that Major Hopkins
did not cancel his will and that 1t was valid
will. Under the will the boy receives
about $3.50 900, while the widow receives
the bulk Of the estate The fight to set the
will aside was made by Joseph w. Middle
brook as guardian for the son, who is
minor, although the son repeatedly said
and made aff1davits that he did not want
contest and that he was satisfied with the
provisions of the will. The guardian
brought the proceedings nevertheless, be-
interests Of tie lad. Lawyer, Blandy
counsel for Mrs. Hopkins. fought all the
proceedings of the guardian. He says
that the guardian has now put in bill OF
$40 900 for his fees, and that the cost OF the
trials has been enormous to the estate.
To-day the lawyers agreed to let the question
Of the leleality Of the will be decided by
Justice Keogh, and he directed the jury
to find th1 will a valid one.
