pable inefficiency in the performance
of duty The charge grows out of :.
case now in the United States Supreme
court on appeal from the Court OF
Claims.
1T appears from the findings of fact
that John Smith, seaman, was arrest
ed on ship board, May 26, 1893, fo:
alleged disobedience of orders. He
was sentenced to one year inthe penl-
tentiary and loss of pay. The charges
however, were not filed and furnished
to the accused until July 1, although
he had been in confinement from May
26 to the latter date. On this show
ing the court of claims gave the claim
and Judgment for the full amount ol
pay, of which he had been deprived
and held that charges should have
been filed with the prisoner Within
ten days as required by law, which
was not done.
The case is now in the Supreme
court, and it is said that the validity
of a large number of courts martial
hinge uDon sc decision.
Among the sixteen young ladies
who this week received diplomas from

NURSES OFFICERS
Next Meeting Will Be in
Winston Salem.
A Profitable and Enjoyable Session OF
the Trained Nurses Of North
Carolina Came to a
Close Yesterday.

After a most profitable session of
two days the North Carolina Trained
| Nurses Association closed its second
annual meeting yesterday, and nearly
all the members have left Raleigh,
for their homes.
The two most important features
of the meetings held yesterday were
the selection of the next place of meet
ing and the election of officers.
WinSton-S Salem was selected as the
place for the third annual session,
and this will probably be held about
the first week in June. The cordial
invitation extended by Miss c. e.
Pfohl, of that place, was accepted,
and Winston-S Salem will be favored
by having this noble body of women
meet in it's borders.
The officers elected are:
Miss Nj. l.. Wyche, Durham, Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Nj. III. Lawrence, Raleigh, First
Vice-President.
Miss CIeone Hobbs, Greensboro, Sec
ond Vice-President.
Miss C. T.. Pfohl, Winston-Salem,
Secretary.
Miss Hester Evans, Asheville, Treas
urer.
The convention was called to order
at ten o'clock in the Trustees Room
of Raney Library Hall by the Presi-
dent, Miss Wyche.
After routine business there was a
discussion as to the advisability of the
revision of the Act passed concerning
trained nurses by the last Legislature.
1t was finally resolved that for the
present no change would be asked.
Among the important matters dis
cussed was the plan to have a Nurses
Training Department at the State
Normal and Industrial College. The
Board of Examiners and the Super
intendents of the various hospitals
and the matter win be presented to
the authorities of the State Normal
College.
Following this came the election,
and then membership in the assocla-
ton was voted to twenty new mem
bers, and Winston-Salem was selected
as the place of the next meeting.
An interesting and instructive paper
on Tuberculosis and Its Treatment
was read by Miss Hester Evans, of
Asheville. This was an excellent pa
per and was highly complimented 1t
was determined by the association that
the reading of original papers should
be a feature of the next meeting.
Before adjourning the session the
visiting nurses of the association by a
unanimous vote exteindel thanks to
the Raleigh nurses for the kindly
treatment received here, and the
whole association also to the W. II.
King Drug Company CroWell, Nc
I.arty & Co, and Hicks Drug Store,
for the courtesy of fountain drinks
during the meeting of the association.
The meeting is regarded as a great
success, and the visiting nurses are
warm in their praise of the hospital
ity of Raleigh. The city is glad to
have had these noble women meet in
it's borders.

to it at the time. The court declined to
let Stanley be re-admitted. II was
a matter entirely within the decision
of the court and the court did not
think that the ends of justice or truth
required it. The court was requested
by Mr.. A. j. Loftin to confirm the sale
of some land sold by him as commits

that the report had been on file since
