The end came peacefully ln the cottage in Middietown just outside Newport. built by her husband more than thirty years aeo, and since then her regular summer home. The three surviving daughters were al thelf mothers bed. side when she passed away, but her son was absent.
 Her body will be tnken to Boston this Thursday and on the same day her funeral will be held at The Church of the Disciples, Unitarian, where for many years she had been parishionet and friend of the venerable pastor Rev. Dr. Charles (. Ames.
 It was Dr. Ames who said Of Mrs. nThrough the storm and stress of the world Mrs. Howe has always kept afloat, finding life presefver in her l faIlh, hope and love. '
 Those who knew her intimately said that her. unfailing optimism was the great source and support Of her mani fold activities.
 Born in cultured home In New York city, and educated with care she showed from her earliest youth re. markable avldiiy for study and supe- fior literary tastes. She was but = years of age when she came to Boston and met Df. samuel Gridley Howe, the great phianthfopist, and two years later they were married From that time until pr. Howe's death in 1876 this remarkable couple showed a never tiring co-parinership of activity in all things making for the upllft of man. l kind. After her husbands death Mrs. Howe continued her work by pen and mouth for many worthy cause up to the very end. She had shared her husbands labor for the Greeks in their struggle for independence;. she had as sisted him in his antl-slaseiy work and fired the nation with her "Batile Hymn of the Republie,n she had join ed heartily in the crusade for woman suffrage then In the last year os her life she pleaded for the liilie children by participating ill a public hearing at the stat, house and urging that sc- ton be taken to iasuie pure milk for infants.

 Few women have lived so long and distinguished life as Julia Ward Howe, and to all classes in this coun. try and the world over her death will mean distinct loss.

IGNORANT OF GEOGRAPHY.

From the ST. Paul Dispatch.
Many freshmen when they enter the
University OF Wisconsin. at Madison,
cannot locate important cities, rivers, or
mountain ranges In their own or foreign
countries. according 10 recent tests made
by the department Of geology in the
classes in photography. The results OF
the examination this year corroborate
those Of previous years
Surprising ignorance Of the location OF
prominent cities in the United States was
discovered Many could not tell in what
State such well-known cities as Rich
mond. Mobile, Memphis Butte, Syracuse,
Nashville. Spokane Atlanta. and Scranton
were.
Some of the students could locate only
four OF the following ten cities By telling
what country each was in. Vienna,
Venice. Lisbon. Bombay Buenos Ayres.
Hong Kong, Athens, Moscow. Shanghai.
and Melbourne.
Fully one-thlrd showed remarkable ig-
norance in regard 10 even the approx
mate location Of the rivers Rhine. Volga
Gauges. Orinoco, and Euphrates. Some
placed the Rhine in Asia and others in
South America.

German Interest in Sports.

Kaiser Wilhelm. in recent speech. sug-
Gested 20 tie German university students
that they friuer away less time in beer

leisure hours in healthy outdoor sports.
Most Americans who visit Germany are
surprised that the people OF that coun-
Try have no national sport This is true.
bat il the Germans have no genuinely
national sport they have been taking
up the sports of other nations at rapid
rate Many of the larger cities have their
athletic clubs, where tennis. rowing.

Emperor. a thorough sportsman himself.
he has done everything in his power to
encourage the growth OF the athletic
spirit among his counTymen. The Kaiser
yearly Offers prizes. medals. and other
trophies TO intercity teams in almost every
branch Of athletics.
An evil which the Emperor evidently
had in mind was the undue fondness
which the average German has for his
cafe over there. The cafe is the club.

and night by both men and women. The
cafe life is inexpensive and is not 20 be

Aero Meet at Belmont Park.

Aviators from the leading nations OF
Europe are in New York ready 10 par

the blue ribbon events OF the season for
air craft. The progress made in aero
nautics in the last twelve months will be
fully demonstrated, and the rivalry be
tween Europe and America Ia heavier

preme test.
What the French and Italian aviators
can do is generally known, but what the
WrShts are capable of accomplishing is
a secret II is rumored that the Dayton
pioneers have a machine which has made
eighty miles an hour IN test lights in
Ohio. II this be so, they will no doubt

or two fast monoplanes. He may be the
most formidable rival TOR honors at Bel
mont Park.
The chief interest outside Of the strug-
gle between the nations centers I'm that
between the two types OF machines. the
biplane and the monoplane. Each has its
supporters. Il is generally conceded by
experts that thus far in the development
or the science the monoplane has pro-
duced the greatest speed. but the biplane
is the more stable and trustworthy in
unfavorable air conditions.
American military officers are showing
a deep interest. and this augurs Wen for
the future of aviation in America Ad-
miredIy we are behind France, England.
and Germany in the development Of aero
nauucs, and some such stimulus as the
coming meet affords is an urgent neces-
sity.
This nation has the wealth, the genius,
ana the initiative. United EFFORT has been
lacking. But this factor is now belns
supplied by the United states Aeronauu-
