Florence Nightingale Dies
At Her London Home.
Was First Woman 10 Follow
Army 10 Battle as Nurse.
Was the Only Woman Who Ever
Received the Order Of Merit.

London, Aug. 14.-Florence Nightin-
gale, the famous nurse of the Crimean
war, and the only woman who ever re-
ceived the Order of Merit, died yester-
day at her London home. Although she
had been an invalid for long time
rarely leaving her room. where she
passed the time in a half-recumbent
position, and was under the constant
care of a physician, her death was
somewhat unexpected. A week ago she
was quite sick, but she improved, and
Friday was cheerful. During that night
alarming symptoms developed, and she
gradually sank until O'Clock Satur-
day afternoon when an attack of heart
failure brought the end
Her funeral will be as quiet has pos
sible in accordance with her wishes.
During recent years. owing to her fee
bleness and advanced age, Miss Night
ingale had received but few visitors
On May II last she celebrated her 9Oth
birthday and was the recipient of a
congratulatory message from King
George.
There is a strong feeling among the
general public and particularly among

funeral for Florence Nightingale. There
is little doubt. however. that her ex-
pressed Wishes in this connection will
be taken into consideration. Not even
the death of a royal parsonage could
have called forth more universal ex-
pressions of regret and tributes of love
and affection than appear in the Eng
fish papers.
Florence Nightingale was born May
II. 1920. She was the first woman to
follow a modern army into battle as
nurse and in the Crimean war she
gained the title of 1.-The Angel of the
Crimea" She studied nursing under
the Protestant Sisters of Mercy at
Kaisersworth, Germany, and returned
to England when the Crimean war
broke out. She organized a corps of
volunteer nurses, whom she led into
the field, and was especially celebrated
for her noble services at Scutari.
At the close of the war she was en-
abed by testimonial fund amounting
to S250.000. to found an institution for
the training of nurses, the Nightingale
Home at st. Thomas hospital. She
was also the means of calling atten-
ton to the unsanitary conditions in
camp hospitals. In 1908 she received
the freedom of the city of London.
King Edward bestowed upon her the
Ord ar of Merit the most exclusive dis
tnction within the gift of the British
sovereign. The membership of the or
der is limited to "a, and it includes such
men as Lord Roberts. Lord Wellesley.

FEAR OF CHOLERA.
Kansas Bord of Health Will Help
Keep Out ScOurge.

Along with the health departments
of other states, the Kansas authorities
are taking steps to prevent the out
break of Asiatic cholera in this coun-
try. Immigrants coming to the states
will be watched after released from
quarantine at Ellis Island and any out
break, whether having symptoms of
cholera or not, will be investigated.
Since the outbreak in Russia this
summer there have been 198,246 cases
and 92,329 deaths, with the result that
the condition has become alarming to
other countries into which cholera
might be taken.
Many of these immigrants, especial
ly Russians come to Kansas and prep
arations have been made to test the
blood of immigrants who may become
i'll after arriving. In Kansas the test
will be made in the laboratory of the
state board of health, and if cholera
symptoms are shown immediate steps
will be taken to prevent the spread of
the disease.
DR.. S. J. Crumbine, who is cooper
ating with Walter Wyman of the Ma
rine hospital service, thinks that there
is little danger, still he purposes to
guard closely against any possible
spread of disease.

HAVE FALLING OUT.
Inventor of Peanut Machine and Com
pany in Court.

The inside of Topeka's infant indus
try of the manufacture of the nickel
in-the-slot hot -sanut vending machines
was exposed in the district court today
at the hearing of the case of Butler J.
Haskins. against the company. Haskins
is the inventor of the tall cabinet
vendors which place the peanuts in a
sack by the automatic operation of a
circle ON miniature sand bckets. He
was made general manager to sell stock
and perfect the machine, and assumed
charge of all the business.
On the ground that he, as manager
was a failure the board of directors
at meeting September "A discharged
Haskins and his suit now is for an in
junction forbidding the company to sell
stock, material, machines or the patent
applied for.
Prominent Topeka men such as Col
John f. Carter, who is president, G.
S. Kelley, A. T. Cross, Chas Magaw
and others are interested in the com
pany. According to the testimony of
Mr.. Carter and Manager Haskins, the
latter had promised to turn the ma
chimes out at about $50 each for the
first set and that afterwards they could
be made for about SIS. The selling
price was 5000. A total of Is machines
were completed and sold out in various
cities in Kansas Missouri and Okla
homa. Haskins testified that % more
were under process of construction at
the factory.
The complaint of the directors is that
the business got into such bad way
that the fewer machines sold the more
money was made. That state of affairs
came about, they allege, because of the
failure of the machines to do the work
claimed for them and for the rebuild
| ing and freight on the same and for the
expenses of the trips of Haskins to
various cities to repair them. When
the expenses of installing the machines
had been added the officers claim they
had cost more than they sold for and
that the company is now insolvent.
Haskins defends himself with the
charge that all the trouble with the
machines which he built was in the
electric motor. He bought the best
there was at the time, June. 1903, but
/ they invariably burned out. Now he
claims he has succeeded in finding a
motor which will do the work and
cites that one of the new machines in
! operation during the state fair week at
the grounds cleared $54. 1t is his con-
tention that the action of the directors
in discharging him abrogated his con-
| tract with them and that they have no
longer any rights in the business or
his patent.
Argument of the case will be COM
pleted this evening and the courts de-
cision awaited.
