(Mrs RObley ID. Evans, wife of Admiral
Bob" Evans. and sister of Admiral Tay-
Tor, took an important part in the work of
relieving the sufrerings of sick and wound
ed soldiers and sailors during the Spanish
American war She found able assistants
in her work in her two daughters, who
placed themselves under the tuition of a
trained nurse SO that they might work
with skill and knowledge among the
stricken men.)
A great man found the work of the
women Of the United States in the
civil war worthy of commemoration
in one Of his great speeches, and al
though no one has as yet paid like
tribute to the work of our women dur
ing the Spanish war it is not less wor-
thy of some, record
The. difference between the work of
the four years from 1861 to 1866 and
that of. the four months from April to
August, 1898, was difference of
quantity, not of kind. The spirit which
prompted and sustained it was of the
same high quality.
, But whatever the questioning the
action did not fail. Women with heart
strings torn asunder by those part
ings, such as wiring the life from our
hearts went Loyalty to work
Hospital stores OF all kinds, food,
medicines, clothing were issued to
every point where they would be re-
ceived and any request for such aid
was granted as soon as made.
One instance will illustrate the in
variable method pursued by them
1t came to my knowledge that the
Manitoba, a hospital ship, was to sail
from Newport News for West Indi-
an port to bring home sick and wound
ed men At the same time I was told
that the ship was nearly unfurnished
with medicines and hospital stores.
The brigade surgeon, DR.. Birmingham,
at my request made out list of the
most important things and this was
telegraphed to the secretary of the
Colonial Danes at Washington, D. c.,
one morning at nine o'clock. At three
O'Clock on the afternoon of the same
day the stores and medicines were
shipped. They reached Newport News
the following morning and day later
the Manitoba had sailed with a full
supply of hospital necessaries," as
the brigade surgeon telegraphed., The
women did that important piece of
work in six hours

THE FUTURE AMERICAN.

Mr.. Joseph H. Choate says: "The
American citizen will be person
through whose veins run all the strains
of blood in the world-a composite
man.
In other words, the future American
citizen will not be a white man, in
spite of all the efforts of Tillnan and
tomdixon. 1t is a fact we'll known that
all the strongest legislation of the
South has utterly failed to prevent
miscegenation and will so continue for
all time to come. Mr. Choate seems
to be about right

plementing in isolated cases and in
small way the great and admirable
work accomplished by our secretary
of war and the surgeon-general
of the army-work that should be rec.
ognized as the best and finest ever
done in it's especial line.
The women who were not members
of organizations before the outbreak
formed themselves with wonderful
promptness and efficiency into aid So
cieties under various titles and did
faithful and valuable work They
sewed through the long hours of hot
summer weather; they wrote letters;
they offered themselves as nurses,
some of them first qualifying them
selves for the latter work by severe
courses of hospital training-severe
because hurried the usual instruction
being crowded into few weeks with
no allowance, such as is usually made
for rest and recreation.
One of the loveliest of their many
gracious deeds was the visiting, com
the men who were .'gone to the front"
Hot and cold, dust and rain they re.
garded as trifles-or not at all.
AS was then living near one of the
hospital centers, at Fort Monroe, the
letters that came to me were number.
less. They came from all parts OF
the country, their writer's asking only
a place to work in.
A noble example Of womanly pat
riotism was shown by the wives of
the officers and men of the regular
service. The women of the navy fam
lilies live in constant expectation of
being left with all the care and re-
sponsibility of those families when
the men are ordered to sea" and
were in measure prepared; their
courage and patience seem unfailing
and their spirit was we'll expressed by
the words of the wife of our great
naval commander, who wrote to me at
the outbreak of the war: ''How shall
we live that we may be worthy to be
the wives of these brave men!" That
seemed their only thought. The
weak, the selfish, the craven were SO
few that we need not count them,
and in the face of such trials we may
surely forgive them.
But too much cannot be said in
praise of the women of the army fam
lilies, upon whom the terrible order to
their men to go beyond the seas fell
like thunderbolt from clear sky.
The heats and droughts of Arizona
and New Mexico. the desolation of the
Bad Lands" the biting cold at the far
northern forts, the isolation of zone

mystery and dread which swallowed
up their protectors in forests and
jungles, leaving women and children
bereft of the comfort and support of
their strong and devoted companion
ship. Small wonder if they blenched
and shrank back appalled, at the pros
pect!
Yet complaint was rare and courage
and patience almost unfailing. Usu-
ally a semblance of hope and conf
dence was maintained that sent the
men out to their hard duty, cheered
with the thought of the women's
bravery and their ability to bear the
burdens suddenly thrust upon their
unaccustomed shoulders

What Ed Walsh Wished.

During the recent series of games be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis. Tim Hurst
was the Indicator handler. In the first
part of one of the contests Ed Walsh was
,Oud in his concentrations, regarding Sir
Timothy as an umpire.
Why, Tim is a regular angel" cried
Ed as he came to the bench after the
third inning. II never saw any one who
could call the balls and strikes so perfect
" as Tim" added the big pitcher, whose
face glowed with the delight he felt at the
fine work of Umpire Hurst.
After the fifth inning things began to
break badly for the famous spit-ball art
list, and he could be heard growing at
Tim by the fellows who were seated on
the layers bench
This kept up until the last half OF the
ninth inning, when Ed came to the
bench, raising all kinds of kicks about
the work Tim was doing
Why, you said some time ago that
Hurst was an angel" exclaimed Manager
McAleer.
We'll" replied Walsh. as he bit saw
agely into a wad of chewing gum, 81

That is the greatest fight ever wit
messed in the history of baseball that
is going on down east at the present
time in the American league. Last
season it was thought the climax of a
fighting finish had been reached, but
this year 1t is even more nerve racking.
Imagine if possible the feeling in De-
troit, town that has for years tried
to capture the rag in the American
league, and now being one of the most
important factors in the greatest race
of the century. Interest must be some
thing astonishing. Reports from De-
trOit, Philadelphia, Chicago and Cleve-
land indicate that the entire popula-
ton has gone crazy over the fight
Thousands gather around the neWSpa-
per offices 10 read the bulletins, and
more baseball is talked on the streets
than all other conversations put to-
gether. Even here in Salt Lake keen
interest is taken in the race, and for
several hours each evening the phones
in The Herald office are kept busy Civ
ing anxious fans the scores of the days
games.
What other sport could hold the pub
lie as baseball does? Here we are thou
sands of miles away from the scene of
action, many have never seen the
teams in action, yet the thousands of
baseball fans in this city can not wait
for the morning papers to get the re-
ports of the games. 1t is a great in
stitutiOn. this baseball. and it is a
clean sport that deserves all the atten-
ton il gets.

in an effort to form a state league and
create a meal ticket for himself dur
ing the summer months. His argu
ment was that Salt Lake had never
seen anything but brush league ball
and that the state would go wild with
his league. He was told TO go ahead,
but after falling to interest any per-
son hereabouts in his knowledge of the
great national game he left for Nevada.
During the past week Clyde Hall, a
Bingham boy, returned home after a
most successful season with Omaha,
the pennant winner in the Western
(Class Al league. Hall was on the
pitching staff and was rated by many
of the sporting writers as the best
tWirler in the Western league.
Word from the coast this week is to the
effect that Bert Delmas has been sold
to the Boston Nationals by Los An
geles, where he has been playing short
for the past year. Both Delmas and
Hall are familiar figures on the local
diamond and both are we'll and per-
sonally known by a large number of
Salt Lake fans who have seen them
play. And yet there are some, like
Powers. who don't know better than to
insist that Salt Lake has never seen
real baseball .. ..--

Many Coming to coursIna Match.

The average salt Laker probably
does not realize the Importance of the
coming coursing match, or the atten-
ton this event will attract in sporting
circles around the country. 1t would
not be going any too strong to say that
the two weeks cOursing will attract
more outside people TO Salt Lake than
any sporting event ever pulled off in
this city. While the game is compare
lively new in Salt Lake. it is asserted
by those who are in position TO know,
that once it is established, it viii take
its place as one of the big sporting
events Of the year in this state.
The meet is attracting more atten-
ton through the country than any like
event for years. In Butte, where there
are many coursing fans, they are fig
uring on bringing down a special train
of coursing fans for the two weeks.
Reports received from Secretary Smith
are to the effect that many will come
from different points on the coast and
