Florence Nightingale.

In honor of the city Of flowers" tina,
she was named. She was the daughter
Of a wealthy English landowner and
returned with her parents to England
when a child. She early displayed an
inclination toward philanthropy, and
was the first woman to follow a modern
army into battle as a nurse. Although
her father was very wealthy man,
she insisted on learning all that there
was to be learned about the profession
of nursing and became famous as a
"probationer" in London hospitals. La
ter on she went to France and subse-
quently to Germany. A few years later
she was in Africa nursing Arabs with
such effect, says one Of her biograph-
ers, that the Moslems were almost
convinced that the woman had a
soul"
When the war Of the Crimea broke
out the British army sent to the front
to help the French in the struggle with
the Russians was not accompanied by
the usual corps of women nurses. The
struggle had been going on only few
months. however. when Bull Run"
Russell began sending to his English
newspaper heartrending accounts of
the frightful conditions that prevailed
in the British hospitals and the horri-
BILE state of the wounded men. In
stantly all England was in an uproar.
and for a time the British ministry
seemed tottering. Then, almost at the
same moment, for their letters crossed
each other. Florence Nightingale volun-
teered to take a corps of nurses to the
front and Herbert Sydney. the secre-
tary of war, suggested to her such a
commission.
October is, 1854, Miss Nightingale
set forth on her errand of mercy at
the head of a corps of "a women nurses
and equipped with most of the ma
terial for setting up a first-class field
hospital.
Establishing herself on the heights
of Scutari, near Constantinople. Miss
Nightingale and her aids began the
organization of field hospital. At one
time she had four miles of wounded
four miles Of cots, side by side-with
only "a women to nurse her patients.
Soon after this letters began coming
in hundreds into the homes OF England
which established permanently in tho
hearts of the people the supremacy of
Florence Nightingale among all Eng
lish women. She was the ''angel of the
battlefield" the angel of the Crimea."
In August. 1856. Miss Nightingale re-
turned to England. A grateful country
would have welcomed her royalty, but
she had no desire for public praise. She
arrived IN England when least expect
ed and went to her home. The queen.
however, was not to be denied. She
sent for Miss Nightingale to visit her
at Balmoral I'D decorated her with
her own hand. Tie sultan OF Turkey
made her a valuable present. The Eng

 "wen, he got powerful busy after we met.
 Had Not Played Fair
 Love said that Jones and Glavis, who were close enough to each other to know all that was done by either, had not played fair with him. He added that Glayis, while pretending to be his friend, had made reports against him to MT. Bal finger. He and Jones even had gone to the extent of making affidavit to the general land office. Jones, he declared, had acted like "a Black Hand man.
 Brandeis asserted that Jones and Glavis were not attacking the witness integrity, but wanted to show that by reasons of his relations in Alaska his judgment was a little warped" When he first heard of the Morgan -Guggenheim option, Love said he thought the claimants had lied to him, and he hoped they would lose their claims. Afterward, however, he discov- cred that the option had been given after entry, and therefore did not consider 1t as vitiating the claims.
 MT. Brandeis asked the witness about the tunnel on the Cunningham claims, and he replied that he understood the tunnel had been authorized by the department MT Brandeis contested this.
 '.I was confined in investigation to Alaska" retorted Love. If not, I might have got the Cunningham evidence. As to the tunnel work there was every evil dence to me that the department was aware of It's construction and had been notified of it."
 But the point is." persisted MT. Bran deis. you didn't get information that Glavis and Jones got?"
 If you mean to infer that my candi- dacy for the marshalship had anything to do with that, want to say that not one item was considered by me in connection with my marshalship aspirations
 T didn't mean to nsinuate anything of the sort" said MT. Brandeis.
 If I overlooked anything 1t was mis- take and nothing more.'
 Adjournment was taken until tomorrow with Mr Love still under cross-examina- tion

Sugar and Rice Market

New York, April 1.-The sugar market during the past week has shown cross currents, but on the whole the tone con tinues firm. with little indication of any material reaction in the near future. At tention in the trade still centers about the raw sugar situation as refiners will need to purchase for future meltings and are naturally anxious to depress offerings if possible to secure concessions from ship pers. The cables from Cuba reported that the drouth continues and estimates of the crop are now conservatiYely put at 1.650,- 900 tons.
 It is not surprising that with the heav- fest part of the movement over, sellers are now inclined to hold back their sugars. The interesting feature of the market was the working at cross purposes of local re- liners, the federal advancing the list price of standard granulated 10 points, although still taking business at the 5.20c net basis, whereupon the American cut prices to 5.10c for prompt shipment
 Inasmuch as grocers are we'll supplied with sugar no large volume of business resulted and brokers maintain that the object of the cut was to depress raw markets rather than to secure cuts.
 Tine rice market continues in an unsat- isfactory state, brokers and dealers com plaining that the uncertainty in the south prevents active business. It would seem that a buying movement must put in an appearance before many weeks, but stocks are not lar>-s, and tiIe values rule attrac- tive. Local circles maintain that the fail- ure of the southern mills to sustain prices has eisorga nized the situation, for where some offers are held firm, others are open to concessions.
 Conditions are considered decidedly ir- regular. Rice Is selling the lowest since the time when there was two successive big crops, and yet at present all other breadstuffs are at record prices.

 that he was concealed in a room to
 act as witness to observe the alleged
 pribing as utterly without foundation
 as he had made other arrangements. The witness testified that he went to the hotel with Bilbo, who exhib- tied a roll of bills, announcing that It was corruption" money He could not recall a remark he is credited to have sinco made that he thought Bilbo was joking at the time.
 The money exhibited by Bilbo was 3145, he testified. The next night he said Bilbo showed him a roll of cur
 rency said to contain $150 which the senator declared to be some more of
 that corruption money" No portion of the money was turned over to him the minister said. On cross examination Dr. Cu1pepper admit ted that he thought the senator's re-
 marks about Corruption money" were jocuiar and that he believed Bilbo was in facetious mood.
 Several character witnesses sum-
 moned by Senator Bilbo were also heard tonight.
 Three witnesses testified before the house committee appointed to investigate
 charges of bribery and corruption. For mer Congressman John Allen and two members of the lower branch of the state assembly, Representatives Bennett and Jcnes, were also present. The veteran congressman and humorist testified to a conversation he had with Repr presertative J. o. Cowart at which third person, O. N. Miller, a prominent
 attorney was present. Allen and Miller
 were endeavoring to induce Cowart to
 change his vote from Vardaman to Percy, 1t is alleged. Cowart declined, declaring that 1t would ruin him at his home. It was suggested, 1t was declared, that he might then move to the delta, where friends would be glad to help him, but he still insisted that he would continue to vote for Vardaman.
 Cowart is one of the legislative witt nesses who testified that he had been approached
 The testimony of the other witnesses was unimportant.
