CHAPTER Viii.
The Little Saint Of Uranla,


At the outset Of the Uranian rebel.
Hon dozen or more young women
high in the social life at Pandaro met
at the presidents palace and inaugu-
rated what had come to be known az
the humane movement" The or
ganizers were: A daughter of the
president, daughter of the vice-presi-
dent, niece of the minister of justice,
and the adopted daughter of Gen Fer
nandez Bostos. They issued q call to
the "loyalist" young women for volun-
teers as nurses to serve on the field
and in the hospitals. While the move
ment was distinctly "loyalist" one,
1t was the purpose Of the Organization
to extend the spirit of humanity to
helpless and suffering insurrectionists
as we'll as to the sick and wounded in
the service of the Cardovas govern
ment. The presidents daughter was
chosen chief officer, and she appointed
six Of the other organizers to assume
charge of the half dozen departments
under which the work was to be car
ried on. Marina Bostos, the generals
adopted daughter, was placed in
charge Of the department of the north,
which included much of the territory
north of the capital, where the revo-
lutionists had numerous strongholds
and where the heaviest fighting was
expected to take place. The camp in
which Jerry Chambers was held pris-
oner was within the territory of the
department Of the north.
Two days after Jerry's capture Ma
rina Bostos arrived in camp at the
head of score Of nurses, fatigued
from duty for weeks inland, where
fever had wrought havoc in the ranks
of both sides.
Marina Bostos was 21 years of age.
She was the daughter of a Philadel-
phia concessionaire, who went to
Urania to seek his fortune when the
population of that country was less
than $4,000; Fernandez Bostos had
come to Urania from Madrid a year
before Philip Bottoms arrival, Boil
ton had been in the country barely a
year when he was stricken with fever
and died. A few months later his
widow died of the same fever. The
Bottoms were the parents of year-old
daughter-Mary. Bostos and Bolton
had joined hands in building up their
fortunes and had become inseparable
friends. When Bolton knew that he
must die and that his wife, who had
been dangerously i'll for many weeks
could not recover, he asked Bostos tt
adopt his little daughter. Immediately
after Mrs. Bottoms death Bostor be.
came the foster-father Of little Mary,
whom he had rechristened Marina
and to whom he gave his own sur
name. S
Marina, through her indefatigable
efforts in relieving the soldiers Of their
sufferings, and because Of her angelic
nature, had come to be known as the
little saint of Urania." She had Ia
bored SO hard and 80 long In the fort
night Immediately preceding her ar
rival at the camp that she was on the
verge Of physical collapse. However.
she insisted that she must keep on
with her work, and the officers at the
camp, knowing that she would not =be
satisfied to be wholly idle and with
out responsibi lity, permitted her to
supervise the, work Of the hospital
corps until she was strong enough to
resume the more arduous work in the
Held.

NO SWEEPING
CASH REFORM
next session

New York, Sept 10.--Members OF
the congressional currency commits
sion, on their return from Europe,
where they have been making in
vestigations, indicate that little will
be attempted in the way Of financial
legislation at the coming short session
of congress beyond some revision OF
the present banking laws.
There is, however, strong senti-
ment that a much more ambitious
project in currency reform will grow
out OF the commissions work. Sen
ator Aldrich, chairman OF the com
mission and of the senate finance
committee. is desirous OF the estab-
lishment OF a. homogeneous and sci
entific currency system
Aldrich, last session, seemed to lean
strongly toward the German currency
system, based on the Imperior Ger
man bank, and he is now in Berlin,
making more detailed examination
of the German system.
In both London and Paris, accord
ing to one member of the commission,
considerable effort was made to as
certain whether any experiment has
ever been made in Europe that would
parallel Bryan's proposal for the gov
ernment guarantee of deposits. He
stated that European financiers not
only declared that they had never
heard of such a nexperiment, but they
all regard 1t as fundamentally wrong
and certain to produce disaster.

NEY, ILL.,, DEMOCRATIC cANDI-
DATE TAKES A FALL OUT OF
"UNcLE JOE" FOR HIS sAucY
REMARKS YESTERDAY.

Toledo. ILL.,, Sept. 1O.-Speaker Can
non OF the national house Of repre-
sentatives, today came in for severe
arraignment at the hands of VIM. J
Bryan, who spoke ar this place fol
ten minutes in support of z. C. Pell
who Is the democratic candidate fol
congress-.
Bryan charged that Speaker Cannon
with the support or James 8. Sher-
man, republican vice presidential can
didate, had strangled legislation in the
house in spite of the recommendation
Of the president.
Il presume" said Bryan, "that il
the republicans succeed and Cannon
is elected he will again be speaker
and Cannon represents what is known
as the stand-pat idea in politics. He
represents a theory that all is vel
and that nothing needs to be changed
and he has many people who agree
with him, but the principal agree
ment that he finds is among those
who have their hands in other peoples
pockets and do not want to be dis.
turbed. Every predatory corporation
he declared, was crying for Cannon'i
success.

j. Bryan, democratic candidate fol
president, in a speech here today, de-
clared as false the accusation o.
Speaker Jos. G. Cannon, made yester.
day in Springfield, ILL.,, that he wa!
worth $1,000,000 and called upon tht
speaker to be as frank in making
known to the world the amount o.
his own earthly possessions.
Is Not a Millionaire.
In the course of his remarks, Speak.
er Cannon is credited with saying tina
Bryan had accumulated $1,0o0.O00 sell
ing wind and ink to the public. HI
democratic candidate referred Il
Speaker Cannon as the third man il
influence in the government. If no
even above the vice president in hi
power to influence legislation" ant
said, t'that was but fair that the
speaker should apply to himself the
same rule that he applied to me and
take the public into his confidence"
Bryan proposed that Cannon take
the public into his confidence and tel
the people how much money Cannon
had made selling ink and wind" in.
asmuch as he too, after forty years OF
Office holding, was reputed to be
wealthy.

New York. Sept. 10.--It is not
difficult to summarize the ma
tional political situation as it
stands today The manager OF
each of the great parties is con-
fronted with many serious prob
lens. In a nutshell, Chairman
Hitchcock must determine, be-
fore he can arrive at a definite
and safe conclusion, as to the
outcome of the campaign
What will be the effect of the
business and industrial depres-
sion upon Mr.. Taft's prospects?
How many electoral votes are
endangered by the threatened
disaffection or negro voters?
How much influence will
Samuel Gompers exert with re-
publican members of the Am
erican Federation of Labor?
What will be the effect OF the
political inertia of the great
railroads?
To what extent will the idea
prevail that tariff revision
might be delayed if the next
president and house of repre-
sentatives are democratic?
Chairman Mack must find the
answer to these questions,
among others
How serious will be the dis
affection among democrats from
Mr.. Bryan by reason of the in
dependence party movement?
To what extent will Mr..
Roosevelt's personality prevent
republican radicals from desert
ing Mr.. Taft?
What will be the effect upon
western radicals in the demo
cratic party of Mr.. Bryan's re-
Cancellation with the old line,
wealthy democrats Of the east?
(, What influence will the post
humous letter of President
Cleveland exert among the con-
servative element of the party?
Will the business interests be
as unfriendly generally as they
were in 1896 and 1900?
And Hitchcock and Mack can
sing in unison, Where will we
get the money!"
