HONOR FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.

London May 15.-Florence Nightin-
gale, upon whom the corporation of the
city of London recently conferred the
freedom OF the city. sentered upon her
eighty ninth year today. At her home
in Park Lane she received an almost
countless number of congratulations.
Among the senders of felicistious greet
ing were King Edward and Queen Alex
andria, whose message was conveyed to
Miss Nightingale's home by a special
messenger. The leading newspapers in
their issues today paid compliments to
Miss Nightingale and her works and
eulogized her as among the greatest
women whose names have adorned Eng
fish history.
Florence Nightingale's name is in
serverably connected with the Crimean
war An English army of $4,000 men
sailed for the Crimea in the spring Of
1854. The battle of Alma was fought
in the follor ing September. Meantime,
the troops NAMED inactive. decimated
by cholera and other diseases. There
were over Thirteen thousand sick in the
hospitals. The death rate at Scutaria
was forty-two per cent. In the Kululi
hospital it rose to ffty-two per cent.
| Four patients our of every five who un-
derwent amputation died of hospital
gangerene. When knowledge of this,
| to which every mail added new horrors,
| reached England, 1t kindled the nation
| to a wrath of mingled indignation and
pity More than $5,000,00O was poured
| by the people into various relief funds,
and medical supplies were sent out by
| the ton, while the medical staff was
multiplied until there was a doctor for
every hundred soldiers. The trouble. it
was declared. lay not in deficiency of
supplies. but in want of brains and
method in their uses.
| One man, Sir Sidney Herbert of the
war department, said 1T is a woman's
work. and there is one woman in Eng
land who can set this right" Then he
sat down and wrote to Florence Night
ingale, asking her if she would go to
the east and organize a nursing serv-
ice in the great hospital at Scutaria.
She accepted, and taking a band of for
ty nurses with her, set out within a
week. Under her administration the
death rate of hospital patients was
brought down to two per cent.
One of the most touching tributes
ever received by Miss Nightgaie oc-
CURED at dinner given to the officers
of the British army and navy on their
return from the Crimea. Lord STRAIT
ford suggested that every guest should
write on a piece of paper the name of
the person whose deeds in the Crimean
ward would engrave themselves most
indelibly in the history of the British
people, and when the papers were ex-
amined every one had written the name
of Florence Nightingale.

COOK CO. POLITICAL
POT BEGINS BOILING
Scramble of "Typical Rep
resentatives" For Posi-
ton is Now On.
EIGHTH WARD ALWAYS THERE
Officials Coming From South Chicago
Have Invariably Made Good
-Hanberg a Leader.

Not since the remarkable aldermanic
race in the Eighth ward have the poll
ticians been as active as the past fort
night. There is now a scramble for
representation on the county ticket
and those who declare that they are
typical representatives of their con
sits" are letting no grass grow under
their feet these days.
From time memorial South Chicago
and the Eight ward has been conspicu-
ously represented both in the city hall
and the county building, and while a
majority of the plums have not in
reality been handed down from poster
Iity yet it is true that this district has
/ had greater and more extensive repre-
sentation than any section within the
bunds of the city of Chicago.
Those who have long been active and
the leading spirit of this section have
seen to it that qualifications have play
ed the greatest part in placing men on
the ticket. Invariably they have made
good. This section has never been dis
graced by having to indict any of its
officials sent to represent them. This
is a high tribute and conciusively
proves the discretion used in selecting
| lnU1Vl0ualS TO represent lllIS SASdh Noi-
umet district.
| From this section, strange as 1t may
seem, there has not been democratic
official of prominence, ex-Aldermar
Derpa excepted. who has played an I'M
portant part in the running OF city
affairs the past eight years.
John ]. Hanberg, the present COM
missioner of public works. has LONG
been a leading factor in political circles
and for the past twelve years has rem
dered service to the southern district
OF the city in almost every capacity
where conservative leadership was es-
sential. He is now the leading spirit
of the community and his dominant in
huence is state affairs is Of no little
consequence.
AS a matter Of fact, one could go or
down the line and make mention OF ar
astonishingly large number of South
Chicago citizens who dictate in a great
measure the policy of the city and
county government, the political rein:
of which they have held great many
1 wears.

Considerably Mixed

The saloon question was up before
the board of supervisors last Monday,
as the result of hot contest in lone,
where considerable feeling has pre-
vailed on this subject for q long
time. 1t seems there ale four places
in the valley town where Intoxicating
liquors are sold. We understand that
the maximum fixed by the board for
that section is eight, whether this
means the entire township or merely
the tdwnsite of lone we are not pre-
pared to say. At any rate, there was
nothing in the ordinance of the board
that was prohibItory to the granting
OF another retail liquor license in
lone. The number now is below the
number OF those in business in that
line some time ago, and the number
in the county is within the maximum
limit. Jake Newman owns piece of
property in the valley town, which
Sutherland would rent for a saloon,
provided he could secure a license.
So he made application to the board
for permit. The anti saloon associa-
tion joined forces with the saloons of
the town in a remonstIance. The
former were coutending for the shut
ing out of the license, on moral
grounds, the others were controlled
nv NafnrolIu fb,x,
wanted to keep the trade corraled.
Both sides mustered before the super
visoIs, ID. Mccall, who is as much
opposed to the saloon business as any
one on the rem onstrance, appeared
and spoke in favor of granting the
license. He commended that Mr.
Newman had as much right to rent
his property for saloon as any
other taxpayer. lie believed in a
fair field and no favor. 10 establish
monopoly by ordinance or by
arbitrary act of the county managers,
was unAmerican. A. Caminetti
spoke in favor of the remonstrance.
There was some acrlmony developed
during the discussion of the matter.
When put to vote Fraser and Burke
voted for granting the license and
Grlllo and Strohm against. 1t was
thereby passed up to the chairman,
who cast the deciding vote against
the petition.
