HEROINE OF THE CkIMEA
NINET~ YEARS Old

London, Eng. May IA steady
line of messengers called at little
house near Park Lane today TO
leave messages of congratulation
and great boxes of flowers for Miss
Florence Nightingale, whose nine
tieth birthday 1t was. For more
than ID years, Miss Nightingale was
never been able to come outside her
dwelling and Of late she has been
confined to her bed most of the time.
Though her body is weak her mind
is still alert and active. She express
ed her thanks for the countless good
wishes sent her today from the King
and Queen.
Miss Nightingale, whom all the
world knows as the angel Of mercy"
will always be remembered as the
greatest nurse in history. When the
brilliant articles of the late s.f, Will
liam Howard Russell the great war
correspondent, fired all England with
Indignation at the sufferings of the
sick and wounded soldiers in the Cri-
Mea in 1845, she wrote the historic
note to Mr.. Herbert, the minis
ter for war. Offering to organize and
take out pand of trained nurses to
the Crimea. With thirty-eignt nur-
ses she reached Scutari on Nov. 4,
1854. the day before Inkerman.
There she faced the greatest problem
that has ever confronted a nurse.
The wounded were poured by ship
loads into the great barrack hospi-
tai until there were four miles of
beds, not eighteen inches apart, fill-
ed with men as they came from the
Battlefield.
The commissariat had broken
down, and there was neither proper
food nor changes of clothing, nor
medical comforts, nor hospital ne
cessities. How Miss Nightingale
changed all this, and extended her
to the other hospitals OF
the East, is a matter of history. She
broke through. red tape, defled the
authorities, and gained
for herself an imperishable name in
the annals of the army. Last year
King Edward bestowed upon her the
order OF Merit. which was the first
case Of woman having been APP
pointed member Of the order.

Former Supt. of Police Thomas F.

1t was a radical departure and it
surprised the confidence men and
other legal outcasts with which a
city the size of New York is certain
to be more of less infested.
Inspector Byrnes, however, hade

crooks knew it.
Volumes could be written of the
splendid work done by Inspector
Byrnes and it would all be decided

First of all, he was a brave ana

his work the benefit of keen, ana

1t was only natural that he should

Much comment was made of his
testimony before the Leoxw commit

fortune through the advice Of
prominent Wall street financiers.
There was nothing at all shady in
his financial transactions and his
reputation never was furnished.
New York has good cause to re-

services performed for the metropo-
lis by Inspector Byrnes.

Professional Beqgars.

Miss Mary Richmond of the Ph1la-
delphia society for organizing charity
abominates professional beggars, and
has innumerable stories in proof OF
the worthlessness of these men.
Many of Miss Richmond's stories
have a humorous turn. Thus, recent
ly, she said:
"As an English gentleman was walk
ing down a quiet street he heard a
raucous voice say:
Charity! For the love Of heaven,
charity!'
The gentleman, a true ph1lanthro-
pist, turned and saw a thin and rag
ged figure on whose breast hung a
card saying I am blind The gentle
man took a coin from his pocket and
dropped it into the blind beggars
cup.
But the coin was dropped from too
great a height, and it bounced out
again. 1t fell and rolled along the
pavement, the beggar in pursuit. FL
pally it lodged in the gutter, whence
the blind man fished it out
The gentlemen said in a stern
voice:
"-Confound you; you are no more
blind than / am
THE beggar at these words looked
at the placard on his breast and gave
a start Of surprise.
Right you are, boss be SAID.

card on me. I'm deaf and dumb. =

death from lock-jaw. Physicians in

Walter Robinson.
About a month ago one of the boys
fingers was damned in a swinging
gate in front of his house. Tetanus
developed in a few days and the boy
was removed to the hospital. His
jews were locked tightly and his head
and feet were drawn back by the dis
tressing muscular action of the dis
ease. While holding out no hope for
the boys recovery, the physicians be-
gan treating the lad with hypodermic
injections Of antitoxic tetanus serum
for seven days.
Gradually the rightly of the muscles
relaxed and the other night, after At
600 units of serum had been injected,
the boy was able to sit up. Physicians
say he will be able to leave the hos
pital IN another week.
