Time and time again Miss Night

ways by her grateful people. King
Edward twice decorated her-once
in 1904 with the title of Lady of
Grace of the Order of st. John Of
jerusalem" and in 1908 with the
Order of Merit, she being the only
woman who has ever received that
great and coveted distinction. Mr..
Gladstone, 'the grand old man Of
English politics." once said of her:

eulogy, for the name of Miss Night

wounded. disease and fever were
raging In the camps Of the allied
forces of the French and English.
and the soldiers who had escaped the
bullets of the enemy were being even
more rapidly destroyed by the raw
ages of disease.
Immediately after her arrival on
the scene Miss Nightingale, with the
energy of a professional, at once be-
gan to re-organize the methods OF
the camps. "She instituted an en-
tirely different system Of manage
ment at once. A shipload OF medi-
cine and clothing were distributed
among the sick and wounded, and
her band of trained nurses were busy
day and night When she arrived
the death rate was 60 per cent a
month; within three months it was
reduced to 1 per cent.
But all this is far from being as
easy as it sounds. In the first place
she had to overcome much opposition
and trickery on the part OF those
who had been in charge OF the hos
pital before her arrival. It was plain
that they had been far from doing
their duty, and they tried to prevent
her from doing hers, because OF the
fact that it would expose them and
their practices. She worked hard,
however, and finally succeeded in
overcoming the jealousy Of her pre-
decessors. Another obstacle she had
to overcome was the immense amount
of work to be done by small corps
of nurses. It was this that came so
near cutting off the life Of useful
ness in the very beginning Of her
career. Working from sixteen to
twenty-four hours day, long after
the tolls of the day were over for the
weary soldiers, moving from hut to
hut and from camp to camp, always
laboring for the comfort of the sick
and injured, she was herself attack
ed by fever and stricken down in the
midst of her labors.
Until she was stricken down,
wherever" wrote correspondent
from the battlefield, "there is dis
ease in it's most dangerous form and
the hand of the despoiler distress
ingly nigh, there is that incompara-
BILE woman to be seen. Her benign
ant presence is an influence for good
comfort, even amid the struggles OF
expiring nature" So beloved was
she by those under her care that they
used to kiss her shadow as she pass
ed their cots. and she is the dear
lady Of the lamp" about whom Long
fellow wrote SO beautifully.
At last Sebastopol. the last strong
hold of the Russians, was captured
after a siege of eleven months, and
the war was over. Miss Nightingale
after a service of two years on the
field, returned to England broken in
health and suffering from camp few
er. Then it was that she began te
receive the honors due her for heI
beautiful and heroic service. "The
glories of the victorious armies and
commanding generals" says one
writer, "were not greater than hers.

with jewels, and engraved with the
words: Blessed are the merciful.'

established and accepted in courts OF
law as highly proper. In 1919 II is re-

discovering fifteen witches and secur-

To RAISE A PURSE
Plans for Post Season Game
Being Considered by the
Fans of Rock Island.
WILL REWARD PLAYERS
Team That Has Worked Steadily
Top Deserving of Recognition.

Plans are already on foot for a post
season game of baseball between the
present day Islanders and the Island
ers of former days and it seems as
sured that such game will take place
as a number of fans have interested
themselves in the movement to a con
siderable extent. The idea is to make
up purse to give the Islanders after
the season is over as a mark of appre-
citation for their playing this year. The
team has a firm hold on second place
and there is little chance that it can
be dislodged while, had things been
different at the beginning of the year,
the aggregation would in all probable
ity have been at the top of the heap with
the other fellows fighting for second
place. Had Heinie Snyder or any 9TH
er capable shortstop been in the field
when the first game was played and
from then on, the whole aspect of
things would have been changed AS
it was about three-fourths of the games
that were dropped early in the season
and which made too great a handicap
to be overcome, were lost as the re-
suit of misplays in the short field
Ex-Champs to Be Here.
AS it was the other members of the
team worked hard and finally when
the breech was filled they showed
their metal and went rapidly towards
the top and had it not been for the
extraordinary lead already gained by
the Senators they would probably now
be fighting for first place.
The post-season game is to provide
a fund to reward the men who have
worked their way from the bottom al
most to the top but it would also re-
suit in the fans getting a chance t.
see a number of former champs in &C
ton. Billy Neal, Dow Vandine, and
Harry Howard are now in the city,
Pete Lister will be here before long,
Joe Berger plans on returning, Christy
Wilson is expected to winter here,
Frank Murphy planned before leaving
here to return this winter, and there
will be plenty of other ex-Islanders to
make team with some class. In ad-
dition to the game, if it is arranged,
there will be a series of field events
such as running the bases, fungo hit
ting, throwing the ball and the like
and the affair will prove of no little in
terest to the patrons of the game.

A Great Range of Volcanoes In tn.
Heart of Africa.


It is not very generally known that
right in the heart of Africa at the
southern end of Lake Albert Edward
Is a great range of volcanoes. They
are eight in number, and, though it Is
true that. unlike Rukenzor, they carry
no permanent snow, the highest peak
is over 1900 feet in height. These
volcanoes are particularly interesting
on account of their comparative new
ness. Running through the middle of
Africa there is trench many hundred
miles long, in which lie the great lakes
Albert, Albert Edward, Kivu and Tan
ganyika-
Not very many thousands of years
ago the volcanoes, generally called
Mfumbiro, burst up through the mid
die of this trench and made a dam
across it, with the result that some Of
the water which formerly flowed into
Lake Albert Edward and so INTO the
Nile was cut of and lake was form
ed behind the dam. AS times went on
the waters in the lake which is now
called Kivu rose higher and higher
until, not being able to flow over the
barrier of the volcanoes. they formed
the Rusisi river, which runs the other
way into Tanganyika, about hundred
miles distant OF the eight volcanoes
only two show signs of activity at thu
present time in the form of thin wisps
of steam which may occasionally be
seen, but a vast plain of lava, with
wide black stream curling through its
midst, showed where a formidable
eruption had taken place only two or
three years before our visit There

For the first time since the consecra-

Arthur Smith and Peter Munyon,

angel Moroni, which surmounts the
tallest spire of the temple. They were
taken to the top Of the tower in an
elevator and did not penetrate the
apartments. in which marriages and
baptisms for the dead are solemnized.
The chief damage to the gilded fig
ure of the angel on the spire was the
dislocation of a trumpet held to its
lips. The explosion of a charge of dy-
Mantle across the street tore the trum
pet from its fastenings. Smith hoist
ed himself to the pinnacle, 225 feet
from the ground, and soon repaired the
damage.
