Ministering Angel of the Civil War.

To many a soldier of the Confed-
eracy the announcement of the death
in Georgetown, D. c., Of Miss Emily
Virginia Mason will revive memories
of one who wore the gray. She was
the first woman, it is stated, to an
swer the call of the Confederacy for
field nurses. She established hospi-
tails at Greenbrier White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, and at various points
in Virginia. She was matron of
nurses at Camp Winder Hospital,
Richmond, and ministered there to
thousands of wounded Confederates.
Miss Mason attained the ripe age of
"a. Her life was a noble and useful
one. She was of distinguished ances-
try, a woman of culture and charm
a type of the old South, which she
loved with an undying love and served
with a fidelity which shrank from no
sacrifice or danger.-Baltimore Sum-

cent. was very much lcfger than
would be justified by the increase oi
population. 1t was double the in

Asked the reason, he replied the
cause was due to desertjon of mothers
by their husbands going South, leav-
ing their own .,urdened with the care
of children without means to provide
for them, to bad habits, lack of medi

ignorance or want of attention to san

 In @ brief address delivered at the conclusion of the luncheon, Lord Beres- ford took occasion to refer to the Eu- ropean situation. He remarked that as far as Great Britain was concerned. the situation looked somewhat red ahead" He added that in view of this situation there was nothing else to dC but for the nakion to come forward with 8 greet scheme of imperial de- Seuse.
 ''What we want" continued the Ad- miral, Ifs that we shall hold what we have.Supremaoy at sea means life or death for the British Empire. It is quite different with the United States, which. by its own natural resources takes care of the nations needs. but with us. the question of supremacy at sea Is most important; in fact, 1t is Q question of life or death. It Is not so much that we should retain a big fleet for the purpose Of participating in war, but Cor the purpose of preventing war. Surely the time has arrived when we should come together for the purpose oe preventing war"

 Commander Peary had an active day. At g o'clock this morning, he received Captain Dickson, of the Canadian gov- ernment steamer Tyrian. and half an hour later he welcomed the newspaper correspondents who came up to Battle Harbor on the Tyrian. One of the first things he did was to go to the quarter deck of the Roosevelt and face a bat tery of cameras. When the pictures had been taken. Commander Peary and the correspondents all went ashore to the loft of a fish house on the wharf, where the explorer became the target for broadside of questions. Peary sat with his back to the single win. the newspaper men were grouped in front of him.
 Tn explaining to the newspaper men what he considered the scientific value of polar explorations, Comman- der Peary said he had taken soundinRa of the sea from Cape Sheridan to the pole, which supplemented the similar data taken on the other side by Nan sen and Cagni.
 Continuing he argued that North Po- lar exploration Is much more difficult than the same work in the Antarctic Tn the arctic the work must all be done In one search. while the South Pole eventually will be reached by several seasons of work. 1t being possible for exploring parties to push forward and hold the ground covered instead Of pus1inR back to winter quarters or tho limits of civilization.
