Washington Is to have a Young Wom-
ems Christian Association to carry on
a work similar to that of the Young
Mems Christian Association. The need
for such an organization has been ap-
parent for many years. but up to this
time no one mas seemed TO be willing
to take the initiative in its formation,
although an organization conducting
various lines of philanthropic and chari-
table work under the title Of the
Wonen's Christian Association has been
in existence over thirty-five years
At the present time the work of this
organization is centered in a boarding
home at No. 1u9 Thirteenth street,
where many young women have availed
themselves of the opportunity to Sc
cure boarding at a moderate sum in a
home under Christian influence.
General Plan Formed
Those interested in this association. as
well as those who have been the prime
movers in the formation of Young
Women's Christian Association for the
broader work to be undertaken, have
agreed on a general plan of union and

names as pledged members of the fu-

Army and Navy Journal.

The Army and Navy Journal, in this

that ladronism is again rampant In the

the disaHected districts, is recon-

photographing Swiss Glaciers.

Photography has recently been en-
ployed in Switzerland to obtain exact
pictures of the glaciers as they now
are. says the London Telegraph In fu-
ture times the terminal moraines can
be compared with those of the present
day. Whatever may be the cause. the
fact seems to be that glaciers all over
the world are shrinking. They were
once certainly far larger in SwitZer-
land than they are now. The ice caps
round the poles are also growing less.
As to the north pole. this was pretty
well known some time ago. aud now
the antarctic explorers report that the
Ice fields round the southern pole are
also far less than they were when Ross
made his antarctic voyage sixty years
ago. When the reasons for this de
crease Of glaciation are known clew
may be found for the occurrence OF
the glacial epoch. eighty or a hundred
thousand years ago.

Mrs. Leona Henderson, stenog-
rapher in the general offices, who
is visiting in San Antonio, was
run over by a team several days
ago and badly injured. Her con-
dition is still serious.
A San Antonio paper says:
William Hastings, the negro
driver of the hearse that knocked
down and seriously injured Mrs.
Henderson a couple of weeks
ago, was fined $50 by Judge Shar-
dien this morning.
A number of witnesses de-
scribed how the accident occurred,
and according to their story the
driver was at fault and through
his carelessness the woman was
injured. The car had stopped at
San Pedro avenue, and Mrs. Hen
derson alighted with a child in
her arms. 1t was raining at the
time, and the lady was holding
an umbrella to shield the child.

PALESTINE LADY is SERIOUSLY HURT

According to the story told
by those present, Hastings came
up the street driving the hearse
in furious manner, and before
he could check the horses the
woman was knocked to the pave
ment and the child thrown under
the horses feet. Bystanders
rushed out and dragged the wo-
man and child out of danger. 1t
is said that Hastings laughed at
the time as if it was all good
joke. He was arrested, but later
released on bond.
The case has been twice con-
tinued in the hope that Mrs. Hen
derson would be able to appear in
court, but as she is still confined
to her bed the case was disposed
of this morning. Hastings was
fined $50 for careless driving.
Mrs. Henderson is in a critical
condition, more from the shock
than the injuries she sustained.
