ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
Secretary Weller Points Out What Is
Being Done.

young man was sent home to st. Louis
yesterday after a months effort by the AS
ISOLATED Charities and other helpers to
make him self-supporting here. The trouble
was that he had been in the insane asylum
after serving in the United States army
and his mental limitations prevented him
from holding any employment long. A cler-
gyman sent him to the Associated Charities
a month ago. BY guaranteeing the employ
ment fee at an agency the association Sc
sured him an appropriate place at once.
Meanwhile the charity Organisation Of st.
Louis was asked to confer with the mans
relatives there and other relatives in
small town in Missouri were also consulted
Through such means the association was
assured. when the young man was again
out of work. that he could be provided for
in st. Louis. and the board of charities is
sued ticket. while the Associated .Chari-
ties provided the young man with money
for food enroute The man was a clean,

HAD EVENTFUL CAREER.
Funeral Today Of Mrs. Adelaide
Spurgeon, Army Nurse,

The funeral Of Mrs. Adelaide Spurseon
occurred from Epiphany Church at 10
o'clock this morning. Deceased was regard
ed by many as one Of the most unique and
original characters in the list of army nurses
of the civil war. According to her own
story in 1851 Henry j. Raymond of the New
York Times called a meeting, which led to
the enrolment of a small number Of wo-
men willing to enter the government serv-
ice as army nurses, and she, with five 9TH
ers, started for Washington May 3. but be-
ing obliged to take a steamer at Havre de
Grace they were three days on the way.
being mixed in with some rough men, who
played cards, smoked and cursed the Yam
KEGS from morning till night. 1t was the
evening of the fourth day when they land
ed in a medieval Washington. Starting
out for investigation, the surgeon general
informed them that there was only one
hospital open in the city. and that was for
smallpox patients. and they were in great
need of a nurse for the men as they could
there. And as no one else of the party was
willing to go. Mrs Sturgeon. who was the
youngest and rather frail accepted the po-
sition, babe her friends goodbye and the
18th of May began her duties.
The hospital was small two-story brick
on list street between B and streets. The
doctor remained there only a few hours
daily, and as soon as he left the steward
started for the city and came back in the
night intoxicated. The cook was so bad
she was sent away and Mrs. Sturgeon
made bread for the men in addition to nurs-
ing them. The meat provided would have
required the strength Of Hercules to masti-
cate it. the sugar was the color of mud and
no butter or vegetables were to be had;
there were no dishes but tin plates and cups
and not enough to go round; two or three
used one plate There was no money to buy
even necessaries.
At this juncture Mrs. Spurgeon decided to
go to New York for supplies. and applied to
the surgeon general. who sent her to Gen.
mansfield for pass. As she went into his
office he looked up and said sharply:
Wen, what do you want to go to New
York for?"
ITO get some supplies for my boys" was
the reply.
What boys?"
THE boys in the smallpox hospital
Are you the nurse there?"
Eyes, SIR"
Get paid?
mo, STR"
Volunteer nurse, afraid of taking the
disease?"
mo. SIR"
He gave her the pass and said: you are
plucky little woman. and ought to ride
over any railroad In the country As long
as you live
Mrs. spurgeon brought back bountifui
supplies and disnfectantS. Sometimes
three or four dead lay In the room next to
her bed room. There was no Potomac water
dry. After the removal to better quarters
Mrs. Sturgeon entered the secret service
department at the provost marshars head
quarters. During the latter years of her
life Mrs. Spurgeon resided in Washington
with her son.

Publicist Doubts English Can Be Made
World Language.

ITHACA. N. Y, March 7.-Goldwin
Smith has written a letter to the Cornell
Era on the subject Of simplifed spelling in
which he says he doubts whether Eng
lish can. ever be made the dominant lam
guage Of the world.
How far" he: asks. would .simplifica-
ton of the spelling of a few hundreds Of
words go toward making the English Ian
guage universal and the dominant Ian
guage OF the world? Surprising even that
1t would make the language perfectly
phonetic are there not more serious defects
than that Of spelling? Would there not
still be lack Of the power OF decepsion and
conjunction. of the power Of forming COM
pounds, Of cognate forms for cognate
ideas? Would there not still be a scientific
and philosophic vocabulary almost entirely
borrowed from the Greek and. to all those
who do not know the Greek language. to-
tally inexpensive? The language OF
Shakespeare. Bacon. Hooker. Milton. Burke
and Macaulay has It's qualities. and very
high qualities they are IN their way: but
regularity either structural or phonetic,
never can be one Of them. You cannot can
eel the effects OF Ensllah history.
"Simplidcation OF spelling might. In its
way. be gain. Simp1incation of the nota-
ton Of time might very ifke3y be q gain.
but It would involve great confusion for
some years and q jettls0n OF our clocks.
6implincataon OF spelling would involve
