FOUNDER OF THE RED CROSS
Ninetieth Birthday Recalls the Great
Achievements of Florence
Nightingale.

On May u Florence Nightingale was 90
years of age. 1t cannot be said that she
celebrated her birthday, for she has al
ways deprecated anything that could be
construed as the exploitation Of her per-
sonallty and the service she had rendered
to thousands of suffering soldiers. For her
influence has extended far beyond the field
hospitals of the Crimea half a century ago,
and she has done more than anyone else
to alleviate the horrors of warfare by in
surfing skilled surgical attendance on battle
fields throughout the world.
Miss Nightingale was oo-heiress with
her sister OF large fortune. She was
given an education that was. at the be-
ginning Of the Victorian era, considered ex-
traordinary. At the age of IS she was
presented at court by her parents. and a
brilliant social career opened before her,
but meeting with Elizabeth Fry led to
Miss Nightingale's determination to devote
her life TO the Improvement Of the hospital
systems of Europe. When the Crimean
war broke out, in 1854, there was no one

was but one name on every slip OF paper

She went back to Enga and under an as
sumed name, and reached her home ere II
was known that she had left Turkey. The

king Edward in 1907 conferred upon Miss
Nightingale the order of merit, and also
bestowed upon her, the title of Lady of
Grace of st. John of Jerusalem In 1908

REDDING, Connecticut, April al,
Samuel NJ. Clemens, known all over the
world as Mark Twain, died here today.
The author was taken i'll yesterday and
owing 10 his old age, the physicians in
attendance found it impossible to re
yive HIM after his attack.
From all over the world messages of
coincidence have been received by the
immediate relatives of the deceased.
Mark Twain was regarded as the most
popular living American author. He
bad met the crowned heads of Europe
and was received several wears ago
with favor by King Edward. His prin-
cipaI works have been translated into
all the European languages.
Mark Twain was born in Florida.
Missouri, on November 80, 1888. About
the latest biographical sketch Of the
famous author was written by Samuel
Z. Motfett. and contains the following:
From his earliest childhood young
Clemens had been Of an adVenturou,

saw the dead bird, observed the dis

humorist s second, that the feat had
been performed by Mark Twain, for
whom such an exploit was nothing re
markable. They withdrew for eonsulta-
ton, and then offered formal apology,
after which peace was restored, leav-

Mark Twain found a berth as city
editor of the San Francisco Morning
Call, but he was not adapted to routine
newspaper work, and in couple of
wears he made another bid for fortune
in the mines He tried the "pocket
mines of California this time, at
Jackass Gulch, in Calaveras County,
but was fortunate enough to find no
pockets. Thus he escaped the hypnotic
fascination that has kept some inter-
