MODERN WRECKERS.

When the British ship Umzumbi, a
liner plying between England and
South Africa, went on the rocks, off the
western coast of France, a few weeks
ago, her furnishings and cargo were
looted by the inhabitants of the islands
of Ushant and Bannec. Search was
made on these islands for the stolen
goods, but to no purpose. All inhabi-
tant of Ushant explained the situation
as follows: When ship is wrecked
on these islands the robbers take what
they can and bury it in the sand or
hide it in some other way. They wait
patiently till the hue and cry has ceas-
ed, and then go and unearth their bar
rels of wine. spirits and Madeira and
the furniture they have stolen.
"Pillage of this kind is the principal
resource of many of the islanders and
the most bountiful harvest they could
our coasts without these thieves hast
ening to the scene. Everything that
they find is turned to some account,
whether it be watches, money, furni-
ture, or even sextants and chronome-
tiers. Since I came TO live on the island
1 have seen ten wrecks stripped by
these men and there are no police to
stop them.
"Once a fortnight the police come
with the mail packet and then you hear
some shrill whistling. which is the is
landers' method of telling one another
TO look out. The goods stolen from the
Umzumbi viii not see the light till three
or four months hence. The relocating
of that vessel aroused great indignation
among these honest people, who con-
sidered that once she was on the rocks
she belonged absolutely to them"

BULLION FOR THE ORIENT.

NEW YORK. New. 25.-Transfers of
currency to san Francisco through the
Treasury Department will amount to
more than 81, O00, 900 for the week. They
were occasioned largely by heavy ex-
ports of silver bullion to the Orient for
account of British and American inter-
national banking houses and financed
through New York offices of these con-
Germs.
These transfers are therefore in the
nature of special operations, not con-
nected with movements of funds in an
swer to domestic demands. Officers OF
downtown banks say there has been no
important movement of currency east
ward this week.
But they expect to see return move
ment set in with measurable force next
week Normal rate of return in the
last six weeks Of the year, however, is
only about one million a week.

bill for accounting. It appears that a
masters report was made on the mat
tiers at issue over six years ago. The
report dealt with evidence relating to
events of three to five years prior to
the time it was filed. The least re-
mote events from the hearing just had
by him, Judge Robinson said, occurred
nine years ago.
Lately the defendant Vat moved for
confirmation of the masters report.
Thereupon the plaintiffs "got busy
in opposition to the report, after hav-
ing let the matter rest throughout all
these years. The court takes cogniz-
ance of such sleeping on rights, besides
giving reasons for having confidence IN
the accuracy and justice of the mas
ter IS report. 1t therefore decides as
follows:
The plaintiffs exceptions to the re-
port, findings and decision of the mas
ter are overruled, and the motion of
the defendant, w. Wa Vat, to confirm
the report, etc, is granted.

listed in the Thirty-fourth regiment
Massachusetts volunteers. After the
departure of her husband Mrs. Smith
accepted a position in the linen de
partment of McDougal hospital, fort
Schuyler, New York harbor. In July
1864, she was appointed a nurse by
Miss Dix, and ordered to report fol
duty at the United States General hos
pital, Hilton Head. S. C.
She was placed in charge of the
linen room until the matron went
home, when she was made matron, re
naming in charge until the end of the
war. In June, 1865, Mrs. Smith Joined
her husband, Captain w. c. Smith

Among them was a young woman not
more than 20 years of age, who bore
the rank of a lieutenant. She was
wounded in the shoulder, her sex not

hospital
1t seems that she had followed her
lover to battle. The men who brought
her to the hospital said that no one
had shown more bravery than she.
Her discharge was granted soon after
she entered the ward.
After leaving the service, on ac-
count of poor health, Mrs. Hamilton
was married to a soldier. She has
been the mother of eight children,
seven of whom are now living. She
left, not only the sisterhood, but also
the Roman Catholic church, having
been a Baptist for many years. Her
home is in Wakefield.
only those who have had expert
ence in the hospital or prison or on
the battlefield can realize how bar

the increase of liberal thought and the
broader view of the value and respon-

peoples ought to be well-nigh impossi-

some distance below, on the Tennes-
see river, where most of the wounded
soldiers were carried, and there she
worked night and day to alleviate the
suffering of her countrymen
Mrs Bickerdyke's executive ability
was recognized by Gen. Sherman and
Gen. Grant and other officers of the
western armies At the siege of Vicks-
burg she undertook the difficult task
of correcting abuses in the use and
distribution of sanitary supplies.
Soldiers praised her for the manner
in which she executed the trust Her
work was not pleasing to some of the
agents having in charge sanitary sup
plies. and an appeal was made to Gen.
Sherman to have a nurse removed
from a certain hospital.
Who is she?" Gen. Sherman asked
"A Mrs Bickerdyke," replied the
complainant.
''Oh, WELL" said the general, ''she
ranks me; you must apply to Presi-
dent Lincoln
At the request of Gen. Sherman and
other officers Mrs. Bickerdyke left
Vicksburg, as they wished to secure
her services for the approaching bat
tie of Missionary Ridge. She reached
the field just after the battle and re-
NAMED there, the only woman attend
ant for four weeks.
She followed the fortunes of the At
lantic campaign in field and hospital
work, besides experimenting the cook
ing for field hospitals when the COM
miSsary stores failed.
Mother" Bickerdyke was a native
of Knox county, Ohio, and was born
in 1917, of revolutionary ancestors.
She was selected by the women of
Galesburg, ILL.,, for the mission she
undertook. While she was very fond
of Gen. Grant and he of her, Gen.
Sherman was her beau ideal warrior
of modern times.
