 After wait of thirty-five years a couple who were engaged in 1871 in Wales were married recently at Derby. A lovers quarrel broke up their match and both afterwards mar ried, but their partners died leaving them free to make second matri- lmonial attempt.

At the congressional library, where there are something like two million or more volumes of books on every conceivable subject, Maharajah Gaekwar, the Indian prince. who is now seeing the sights in Washington, asked Librarian Putnam how long it would take a person to read all of them. He replied that no man could ever begin to read them all, but in. formed the prince that no man in the course of the average lifetime of sev- enty years could read more than 5000 books, if that many. MT Put nam told the prince that>a man would have to have 250 lifetimes of seventy years each to get through with all of the books, total of 1,500 years. What would your Dr osler say to that?" inquired the prince. It de- veloped during the princes visit that he possesses fourteen motor cars and that automobiling is his favorite amusement.

Senator Germans death makes Rayner the controlling factor in Maryland politics. Elected against the opposition of German and the machine, Rayner was already strong. The death of his leading opponent leaves the situation in his hands. True the republicans, by an alliance between Bonapartel and Representa- tive Mudd, might win and elect one or the other to the. senate, but this is very doubtful. It would not be sur prising if Admiral Schley should suc- ceed German at the next general cleo tion, even though another has been appointed to fill out Germans unex- pired term. Mir Rayner was Ad- miral Schley's counsel in the famous court of inquiry. He lost, but that was because the cards were stocked against him. His brilliant conduct of that case made his name famous.

The American National Red Cross Association Help When Warning Elements Bring Suffering We'll
 That Nations War-Pracical Busne.s Methods

How full of meaning the words Red Cross" They bespeak human itarianism, those wearing the badge are given right of way wherever emer- gency calls for quick relief, ready re- sponse of medical skill and nurses aid. We hear the San Franciscans were somewhat irritated that Presi- dent Roosevelt should have doubted the people of their stricken city would be equal to organization and conduct of relief work, for a moment felt un- ready to bid welcome to the Red Cross official sent out to take charge of con tributions; but the president imme- diately gave assurance that turning over authority to the Red Cross as- sociation was merely intended to fill a gap, an emergency measure, the or. ganization brought to the fore that people might feel their gifts were to be disbursed by experienced hands, by business-like methods. This assur- ance, and the attitude of Dr. Devine, the Red Cross representative, at once puts matters on an amiable footing, city and Red Cross are to act in har- mony.
 Miss Clara Barton. the organizer of the first American Red Cross society, is now well up in years. and some time ago 1t was thought best that younger person assume the responsi- bilities of president. Through long series of campaigns-beginning with the forest fires in Michigan and end-
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-06-12

Ing with the Galveston disaster-Miss Barton had directed the activities of the society in a work of much benef- cence: large sums of money, contrib uted by the public, were usefully ex- pended: human suffering was alleyi- ated in many widely separated fields; and thousands of people were helped to get on their feet after they had been stricken down by catastrophes of nature or the operations of war" While by no means minimizing the benef1cence of the work done. criti- cism began to be heard of lack of business methods in the Red Cross work, chief among the criticisms the declaration of the society's failure to make and publish properly audited statements of receipts and disburse- ments. During the Spanish war a number of business men in New York. wishing to cooperate with the Red Cross work, offered to give the so- ciety all the moneys collected if Miss Barton would allow them to send a representative to Cuba to supervise expenditures and audit accounts. Their proposition was declined.' and the business men decided to organize what became known as the New York Red Gross Auxiliary, the organization controlling its own expenditures and at the end publishing a detailed ac- count thereof.
 It was at this time the suggestion was made. with all the tact possible, that Miss Barton resign the post she had 30 long honored and her place be taken by ap ractical business man. Miss Barton appeared to think favor ably of the suggestion at first. but later decided not to retire. obtained charter from congress and reorgan- ized the society.

 CT branches of the International Red
 Cross. Leaving out of calculation doctors. nurses, hospitals and mate- rials, in the item of funds alone the
 Italian society reported in that year over $S00,00o, the German society over
 $900,000, the Austrians over $1,700, 900. the French over $1,so0,o0o. and the Japanese over s4,oOo,000. Ours report- ed $l.702! As the Japanese society was largest in material resources. SO it was also largest in membership over S0o,000 adherents; our member ship was 123! Despite its useful work the American Red Cross was not only poor in funds and members, its affairs had been somewhat loosely conducted. By an act of congress passed year ago (1904), the American National Red Cross was newly organized. It is now incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia and is brought directly under government supervision. Among other members of the board of incorporators, the charter provides that five are to be chosen from the departments of state, war, navy, tresury and justice. The Hon. William H. Taft, secretary of war, navy. treasury and justice. The Red Cross, and Surgeon General Will liam K. van Reypen, U. s. N., retired, is the chairman of the central com mittee.

department now audits the accounts."
 It was Swiss gentleman. Henri Dunant, who founded the great Red Cross work. A man of wealth, he was travelling with his servant in northern Italy at the time of the dreadful battle of Solferino (June 24, 1s59), when 100000 men faced each other in deadly array. when France bought her victory at the cost of 17,000 men, the killed and wounded Austrians numbered 10000. The morning after the glorious victory" the sun rose on a sight of indescrib- able horrors, ambulances and doctors so few little could be done to relieve the suffering. dead and wounded must be uncared for. M Dunant was SO impressed with the dreadful spectacle he determined to take some step to waken the nations to the need of or ganized volunteer aid. He travelled from court to court in Europe, and as a result of his efforts a conference was held in Geneva in 1863, the fol- lowing year the convention was rati- fled by the high signatory powers; provision made for reforms in the treatment of the injured in battle, for the protection of hospital work, all hospitals to be indicated by a certain flag. red cross on a white ground.
 Shortly after the institution of the Red Cross it's benencence was called into play. In the war of 1866 nearly l4,0O0 wounded Austrians were cared for by the Prussian society of the Red Cross. and In the Franco-Prussian war the Red Cross had 25,000 beds in towns between Dusseldorf and Baden alone. IL was while helping on the battlefield in the last named var that Miss Barton, one of the beat nurses of our civil war, realized the need for organizing a Red Cross society in America. and on her return home she laid the matter before President Gar field. himself soldier and coxnizaut of conditions in time of var. With out undue delay the American Red Cross society was organized. Even outside the miseries of var. this or ganization has for Its prime object the relief of the suffering.

In England twenty horse power motors are used to propel motor cars, the cost being $4,50o for each vehi- cle. A wagonette or omnibus carries about twenty-five passengers with ac- con1modations for passengers on top, being modelled after the old-fash- toned omnibus. They are appreciated by the public and are literally pa ly used in England to convey bag gage, parcels and even farm products. It is predicted that similar cars will come into use in the United States wherever the streets are open to such competition.

Commissioners Neill and Revnol

Commissioners Neill and Reynolds say in their statement about bad meat that the law as it now stands is a farce and that the government in- spection label is a lie and forgery intentionally misleading and deeeiy- ing. They give a series of sugges- tions in line with the spirit of the Beveridge bill designed to secure d fair inspection law and its proper en. foreement. But there is one thing they might easily have recommended but have overlooked. It is the thing the humane societies of the United States have long urged. and that is that the wholesale slaughter business in Chicago, St Louis. Omaha. Kansas City and elsewhere should be broken up altogether and that the cattle should be slaughtered at the points where they are raised. It is really cheaper to transport dead meat in refrigerator cars than it is to trans port live cattle. People who have seen the dreadful Cruelties practiced on suffering cattle while being rail roaded to market will realize that the meat Of such suffering beasts is unquestionably injured for food pur- poses. Packing houses under proper and sanitary conditions in the large cities ve probably must have. But If the slaughtering and inspection were done in the country both would be better done and a world Of useless suffering to the cattle would be saved.

We were unscquainted with the
State Of Florida a year ago, and twice

geography, for we had no idea there
was such a place as Gainesville on the
