Boston Transcript.
When the news was cabled from VAL
paraiso that Chilean girl had organic
ed the ambulance corps for relief work
in the devastated city, many Philadel-
phias who had known Blanca HilIman
during her residence there remembered
a most attractive young woman and
wished her all success In her work.
Miss Hillman was graduated from tho
Woman's Medical College OF Philadel-
phia with the class of 1905. She came
from Santiago. State of Santiago, about
eight years ago and entered a seminary
at Rye, N. Y, studying at that place
for about four years, when she entered
on a course Of medicine at the Phila-
delphia College.
When she arrived in Philadelphia,
Miss Hillman was considered the most
beautiful woman who bad ever como
from South America, and as she grew
into maturity her beauty was even more
pronounced. A woman of large
physique, she had indomitable courage
and an unloading will.
Beloved by her classmates. DR.. Hill
man was held up as an example OF what
a woman might accomplish in medical
knowledge. She learned without an
effort and spent the greater portion of
her leisure time in smoothing the pain
of her less brilliant classmates.
On being informed of the work DR..
Hillman had started in the sticken city
of Valparaiso, Dr. S. s. Hardin. class
mate and close friend of DR.. Hillman.
exclaimed THAT is just what I ex-
pected she would do. In time of need
she is always the first to offer her as
sistance. While 1 received a dispatch
from her two days ago, In which she
stated that she was going to Valparal-
so, she said nothing about establishing
an ambulance corps.

Five years ago a man seen reading
a newspaper. of which very few were

published in the capital was The Pek-

Now there are ten daily papers pub

few women's dailies in the world. This
paper is interesting as being largely
edited by women. and dealing just now
with sucktopics as popular astronomy
geography, physical geography, the care
OF Infants and the training of chill

read by all classes, and are constantly
increasing their circulation. They con-

of old established customs, and the
contents are extremely interesting

BY way of advertisement, or more
likely because of the zeal of reformers
who are responsible for the newspa-
pers, copies are posted OIL blank walls
and on boards set up for the purpose so
that their contents may be perused by
those who would not buy. In addition
a remarkable plan to secure the atten-
