WORK BEGUN BY GRADUATE
 NURSES DECEMBER, 1906.

The Graduate Nurses association of Bir- mingham undertook the work of district nursing year ago last December. The association deserves special credit for its ambition and determination as the mem bership at that time was not over 50, and was, it is yet. the only associa- ton of graduate nurses in the state
 It has been the history of other states to wait for state registration before talk Ing up district work. The Graduate Nurses association of Georgia, which has recently had a bill passed through the legislature requiring state examination for nurses, now proposes to begin dis trict work.
 The graduate nurses of this city realized that registration in this state could not De secured as yet and directed their en- ergies to establishing department of district nursing, maintained in many of the larger cities and in fact perma- hent feature of charitable work in the slum districts Miss Mamie Boyce Hamil- ton is president of the association.
 The services of Miss Marie Forsman, a graduate nurse from the St. Vincent's hospital. were secured when the district work was started. Mss Forsman began her work in the poorest districts of this city. With the exception of a few weeks last summer, sne has remained constantly on duty These few weeks, which should have been spent quietly in the country, after the long siege of last year, were passed instead in New York, where Miss Forsman preferred to study the methods of work there in the slums.
 The work in this city has been conduct ed with great success. Rendering inval- uable aid is the auxiliary to district werk composed of 200 women, who or ganized for the purpose of supplying the association with many needful articles in order to carry on the work properly.
 From the auxiliary were formed several committees. Miss Daisy Moody Is chair man of the linen committee. Mrs. Ger trude Davis is chairman of the drug com mittee Miss Williams Is chairman of the grocery committee, and Mrs. Eugene Warrington looks after the hospital sup plies. Mrs. Felix Drennen is chairman of the clothing committee. Mrs Samuel Earle looks after needed household SUD- plies, and Mrs. John Caldwell is chair man of the flower committee. The asso- citation feels that without the co-opera- ton of the auxiliary the district work would not have been conducted with such success, and that without the aid much of the work would have necessarily been eurtailed.

During the past year Miss Forsman has made 121S visits. She has nursed 155 cases. Out of this number there were l2 tubercular cases, five. cancer, five chronic ulcers, four morphine habitues, four scar let fever, two diphtheria.

The Alexander Hamilton National Me-
mortal Association, recently organized in
our midst, has on hand a project which
means much not only for the adornment
of the National capital, but atonement for
the objectionable neglect of the past.
The purpose of the association is to
raise the funds necessary to erect an he

prominent places in Washington. prefer
ably on the esplanade Immediately IN
front OF the Treasury building, looking
down Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol.
AS has been said by Mr.. Justice Harlan:
"Visitors from other countries may we'll
be surprised that they do not find at the
National capital a conspicuous monu-
ment to Alexander Hamilton. Let us
hope that the past neglect of the country
will be remedied by the success of the
scheme on hand"
1t Is now nearly one hundred and four
years since Hamilton died. and the gov
eminent has been largely conducted along
the lines laid down by him, and the
statesmen who have succeeded him have
obtained the warp and wool of their
thinking from the ideas and suggestions
of Alexander Hamilton. The general COM
ment Is that it Is hard to understand the

DIR. Wiley occupied that important post

Mrs. Hamilton's Decease.

neglect with which his memory has been
treated.
Mrs. Hamilton's Decease.
1t is not generally known, but it is new
ertheless true. that Mrs. Hamilton died
in this city in 1851, or fifty years subse-
quent to the death OF her distinguished
husband. and lies by his side in Trinity
Church yard, New York city.
That she should not have seen some tes-
timonial reared to him during her life
time is a disagreeable subject of contem-
plation, and raises the inquiry, Are not
republics ungrateful? Nevertheless, the
people have permitted another half CEN
fury to elapse since Mrs. Hamiltons
death without taking steps to show their
appreciation of the man who shaped and
saved the Constitution and established
our entire fiscal system.
Another curious fact not generally
known is that Washington was located
on the banks of the Potomac as the re-
suit of a trade between Hamilton and
jefferson, Hamilton getting Jefferson to
agree to furnish sufficient votes in Con-
gress to secure the adoption by the fed
eral government of the war debts of the
respective states. in consideration Tor
sufficient votes to locate the capital in
the south.
Prominent Men Interested.
Among the many men of national prom
inence who keenly feel the neglect to
which Hamilton's memory has been SUBJ
jected, and who are members of the as
ISOLATION to honor his memory, are JUS
tees Harlan and Brewer. of the Supreme
Court; Secretary Cortelyou of the Treas
ury, Gen. Horace Porter of New York
city, Andrew D. White, Daniel c. Gill
man, Frank A. Vanderbilt, Justice JOSIAH
A. Van Orsdel, Samuel w. Woodward of
this city and many others. Whitelaw
Reid, our minister to England, says in
indorsing the movement: Il am certainly
in sympathy with the desire to have a
statue erected in Washington in honor
of Alexander Hamilton. So many less
important people have statues in Wash
ington that there is certainly strong
reason why one of Hamilton should be
erected" 1t will be of interest to note
also that President Roosevelt has given
the project his earnest Endorsement.
The board of trustees will meet at the
New Willard Hotel at 10 o'clock am.
Wednesday, the 10Th instant, to elect Of
ficers, adopt bylaws and plan vigorous
campaign for subscriptions to the pro-
posed monument. A large attendance is
already assured. Among the organiZa-
tons which have already inuorsed the
movement and promised it their active
support are the Hamilton clubs of Chi
cago and Brooklyn.

partment as a guarantee that the collec-
ton would be returned to Russia within

the allowance of time within which the
collection was to be returned having eX
pired, and no duty having been paid. the

The collection is said to include some
of the best examples of Russian art, and
among the paintings is one owned by the
emperor. taken from the palace in St.
Petersburg and loaned to the collection
to make it comclete.

concerning the collection between the
Russian authorities at st. Petersburg
and the Treasury Department The value
of the collection has not been stated.
