The Touro Needs Nurses.

During an interview with one of our
correspondents, J. e. Ellis, superin-
tendent of the Touro Infrmary in New
Orleans, stated that the new building
recently completed would be ready for
occupancy about Feb. /, and that The
infrmary's capacity would be in
creased from 10 to $50 beds.
This great increase in capacity will
prove splendid opportunity for
young ladies who wish to engage in
the desirable and profitable profession
of nursing, as the training school for
nurses will be enlarged and positions
for at least 20 more nurses viii be
created.
The Touro is conceded to be one of
the very best training schools for
nurses in the south, If not in the en-
tire country. mir. Ellis advises any
young lady who wishes to enter this
most excellent school to make i'm
mediate application to Miss Anita
Clagett, directress of the training
school for nurses. Touro Infrmary,
New Orleans.

whole population to honor the
memory of the sturdy fathers who
framed the independence of our

have aided to make this nation
free, and every mind was attuned to
thoughts of patriotism and national
duty. The lessons inculcated and
the morals drawn yesterday will
be of inestimable value to the

them the value of liberty and the
need of defending and meriting
that precious heritage.

Peonage Statute Void.

The Department Of Justice is great
ly elated over the recent opinion OF
Chief Justice Clark of North Caro-
lima, who, in concurring in deeis-
ion in a peonage case, went out of his
way practically to declare the stat
utes under which the action was pros
ecuted unconstitutional. These stat
utes are said to be almost identical
with those Of half dozen Southern
states, and it is by attacking their
constitutionality that the Federal gov
ernment has been striving for months
to break up peonage in Florida, Geor-
gia, Alabama and Arkansas.

Crank at Osyter Bay.

The monotony of official life at
Oyster Bay was relieved by the arriv
al of another unexpected caller who
believed he had urgent business with
the President. The stranger, who de-
scribed himself as Orland Coland,
farmer of Oxford, Ala, had reached
the front door of the President 3
home when he was headed off by a
secret service agent. To the officer
Coland explained that he wished to
enlist the aid Of Mr.. Roosevelt in the
collection of an obligation of $1O,-
100000 from John D. Rockefeller.
According to Coland he received a
contract from Mr.. Rockefeller some
twenty years ago whereby he was to
be paid $10,000,000 for solving mur
der mystery in St. Paul. He says he
kept his end of the contract so well
that a woman was convicted Of the
crime. Then he wrote to Mr.. Rock
efeller for $10,000,000 but did not get
any answer. To none OF the 5OO 9TH
er duns that he has sent the magnate
did he get reply. Two weeks ago
it occurred to Coland that the presi-
dent was the man to make Mr.. Rock
efeller pay up. After he had told
his story to Detective Adams the lat
ter said: "Wait a minute and I'll
ge the President to write you letter
to Rockefeller that will bring him
to TERMS" and Adams went inside
and scribbled decoy note himself.
Coland was profoundly grateful. The
detective put him aboard a train for
New York, and then telegraphed TO
the New York police to catch him at
the station.

is out of harmony with the announc-

Will Never Pay Out.

OF the $1,OOO,OOO the government
loaned the jamestown Exposition TO
rescue it from complete failure, but
$4,000 has been paid back. 1t does
not seem likely that even 100000
will be returned. The exposition has
only two months to run and the at
tendance is only $4,000 daily with
heavy expenses to be paid. 1t is be-
lieved here that the Jamestown fiascs
means that it will be many years be-
fore congress will again make an ap-
preparation for worlds fair, and
the Seattle and New Orleans exposl
tions may have to depend entirely Oh
their own resources.
