seen it." Miss Gallatin appears at the

STORIES OF THE HOUR
A Safety Line Out.

DR.. John v. Shoemaker. in a discus
sion of the euthanasia, or painless kill
ing of incurables. said among other
things:
There is something hard and inhu-
man about the enthanasia which for
bids effectually our acceptance of it.
THE euthanasia is as unfeeling and
cold as the average bachelor in a
baby's presence.
"A bachelor. visiting a married
friend, endeavored to amuse the G.
months-old baby. He jumped it on his
knee, tickled it. and finally gave it his
watch to play with.
THE watch was small gold affair,
and the baby slipped it into its mouth.
That made the bachelor smile.
But the mother. perceiving what
her darling child had done. leaped for
ward in the greatest terror.
oh she cried, see the child. 1t
has your watch in it's mouth. 1t will
swallow the watch

fastened to reassure her.

got hold of the chain. you see. 1t can't
go far"

pic Baroness Burdett-C outts the honor
Of being one of England's Grand Old
Women" was eighty-six years old to-
day. Miss Nightingale lives in quiet
retirement in q house in the outskirts
Of London which she has occupied for
many years. Here she received TODAY
number of personal, friends who
called to congratulate her on her birth
day. Others who remembered the an
niversary, among them King Edward
and Queen Alexandra, sent her per-
sonal messages of felicitation. Though
she has been an invalid for many years
Miss Nightingale continues to take an
active interest in all that concerns the
profession which she made famous.
Miss Nightingale was born at Flor
ence and named after the City IT
Flowers. Originally her patronyn:ic
was Shore, and It was only on her
father inheriting the estate Of, his
uncle, Peter Nightingale, that he as
sumed the name Of the testator.

family, who started out for the Crimea

nurses made by Sir Robert Peel and

still survives.
Modesty has always been Miss Night

refused all public ovations on her re-
turn from the Crimea, and when the
nation and the army presented her
with a testimonial of $250,OOO in rec
ognition of her services she declined
to receive it.

CAUSED BY DYNAMITE.
Fall Of Box From Miners Shoulder
Explosion Follows.

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Shenandoah, Pa, May 15.-It is
now known that seven miners
were torn to pieces and twelve badly
burned by the explosion of dynamite
in the Shenandoah city colliery. The
box of dynamite which a. workman
was carrying. fell from his shoulder
and caused an explosion which ignited
mine gas. There was fifty men at
work in the east gangway OF the shaft
when the explosion occurred, but SO
fars as is known all escaped except
those working on the first lift. In this
part of the shaft none escaped, either
death or injury.
All the men killed were mutilated
beyond recognition. The force of the
conclusion was terrific. Doors were
torn off and brattices were wrecked,
every section Of the mine feeling the
effect of the shock.

FINANCES.
The finances of the city are IN very
satisfactory condition. With reasonable
care and proper regard for economy Inc
several departments will be able TO get
through the wear without depriving the
city of any needed improvements or cur
failing the usefulness OF any department.
At the last session Of che general as
sembly the laws relating TO the taxation
of personal property were amended so as
10 allow cities and towns TO tax personal
property OF firms and corporations that
heretofore were exempt from taxation.

It is very gratifying to know the high
standing that the city's bonds have IN
financial centres It has been repeatedly
stated by leading bankers In Boston and
New York that tho city OF Providence
bonds were considered among the very
best municipal bonds I'm the market. The
commissioners OF sinking funds have been
endeavoring 60 purchase tho city's water
bonds OF the Issue due July I. 1906. as the
sinking fund for these bonds is ALREADY

Hints for LRe Business GIL

From the moment you enter the office
until YOU leave IT, attend solely to your
duty.
When you have finished attending to
your duties, leave the office.
The habit of lingering after business
hours to chat with the young men in
the office is bad one
If the young men wish TO talk TO you.
they should seek you In your own home.
Chatting viii not raise you in your EN-
plOyers estimation.
A business office is not the place for
fun and social conversation.
No matter how great your friendship
with one of your fellow-workers, treat
him during office hours as you would
a comparative stranger.
There Is no reason why you should
not be cordial and pleasant toward the
men with whom you come in daily con
tact, but never allow the slightest lib
erty or familiarity.
Accept no presents from your business
associates and when a married man
begins TO show you more than ordinary
courtesy. keep away from him.
Dignity is an invaluable asset to the
business woman, says Home Chat.
Do not carry the office home with YOU.
Forget il from the time you leave II
until you enter u again next morning.
You viii do your work all the better
for going at il In a fresh frame Of mind
