First Student to Die.

The Minneapolis Journal of a
recent date contained further details
concerning Tie sad death of Dorothy
NARROW, which we are requested to
reproduce. The article is as follows:
Miss Dorothy NARROW, the young
student nurse at the city hospital
who sacrificed her life in saving
that of lit lie Willie Norman, was
the first nurse at the city hospital
to succumb to a contagious disease,
and the second to die since the
training school was opened fourteen
years ago. There are about thirty
students in the school all the year
around, and they do nearly oil the
work at the city hospital as only
three graduate nurses are included
in the staff.
The spirit shown by Miss NARROW,
when she undertook to look after
Willie Norman, who came to her
delirious with scarlet fever, is
characteristic of the whole school.
Enthusiastic IN their chosen pro
fession, their sympathies and
kindness not yet dulled by long
familiarity with sickness and pain,
the young nurses enter into their
1 work with their whole hearts and
with little thought of self. The
fact that Miss NARROW had never
had scarlet fever, and that she was
exposing herself to a dangerous
disease, did not deter the young
woman in the least. Even in hel
last moments she gave no though
to herself, but asked with sollcitud'
for her little patient.
DR.. o. E. Linjer, the city ply
stefan, and Miss Bertha Erdmann
J the superintendent of nurses ar
earnest in their praise of Mis-
n NARROW. She had been eat tn

such enthusiasm and such ability a

= ksuper1ors. She was NO less belove

MUST OBEY LAW.
The Compulsory Educational Law
Now More Rigid,

It may not be generally known to-
the people of Lancaster that by aG-
ton of the last session of the legls-
Iature, the compulsory educational
law was made more effective. The
disposition on the part Of many par
ents to keep children out Of school
for trivial reasons, and the uns-
righteous desire of some to make.
money out of little children caused
the legislature to strengthen tass
law. By the provisions OF 446 any
parent, who having a child between
the ages OF seven and fourteen or
one between the ages Of fourteen
and sixteen not legally employed,
Chat is by legal permission OF the
county or municipal judge has not
caused said child to be enrolled In
some public, parochial or private
school is liable to fine Of not TO ex-
coed fifty dollars together with costs,
or imprisonment in the county Ja1l
| for not more than three months for
each offense.
The attendance at school must be
regular, and by regular attendance
the statute specifically says twenty
DAYS for each school month unless
absent with legal excuse.
The law makes 1t obligatory upon
teachers, school officers and officers
of the law to enforce the measure
Failure on the part of said authora-
ties TO enforce the truancy law
makes them liable to fine. Com
plant may ba lodged by any citizen
+ and one half of the fine goes to the
person making the complaint.
f The truancy law will be enforced
in this city and any persons having
+ children under sixteen years OF age
who are not legally exempt from
school attendance should place
them in school immediately and
!. keep them there. Failure to do SO
! will subject them to the penalty OF
r the law.

No, this is no joke. No, indeed!

usually all that the housekeeper

The yeast manufacturers say they
have been compelled to advance the
price because Of the advance in the

The largest single check paid the city for

troler Metz from the Interborough Rapid Tran

OF the company. sent the collector Of assess

unpaid special franchise taxes. Three other
checks for the same kind of arrears in taxes in
Manhattan and The Bronx raises the sum paid

One OF the significant features oc 49,, ,

Assuming that the city pays 4 per cent on
money borrowed and charges per cent when

the city has exacted penalty from the Inter
