Madame de Cisneros will be at

treble attraction is not too much for
those who care for music and so NJ.
Paul Dufault and James Liebling will
add their arts to the two evenings.
These two artists come fresh from
successes in Australia. The follow
ing was clipped from a Sydney paper:
"The tenor, NJ. Paul Dufault, will
have many admirers in Sydney. Ma:
dame de Cisneros had justly estimat-
ell his qualities. His voice is abund-
ant in sweetness, and he has 10 lack
OF power. His success was immedi-

MRS James Liebling, the 'cellist,
is mature artist, who plays with a

sages he plays with lucidity and GER
tainty."

capacity for making trouble. me
soldier was Thomas Conway, British
subject, who had lived since early
childhood in France. There he had
joined the army and risen to colo
nelcy. When he came here he was
joyfhlly received. The Revolutionists
lacked expert officers and they made
him a rigadiergeneral.
The mans boasts and his dashing
ways impressed the simpler states
men. But George Washington read him
at a glance, for q windy, vicious in
competent.
So when congress decided little
later to make Conway major gen
eral the chief sternly opposed such a
promotion and gave his reasons for
doing So From that moment Conway
was Washington's sworn foe. One
active mischief-maker can sometimes
work more harm than a dozen wise
men can undo. Conway at once join
ed Washington's opponents in con-
gress and the army, and started
campaign for the chiefs overthrow.
He and his associates formed what
was known as the Conway Cabal,"
and did all in their power to under
mine Washington's influence. In Sc
ries of anonymous letters Conway rid
iculed the chief as coward and as
too feeble of mind as a leader. He
suggested Gen. Horatio Gates as COM
mapder-in-chief in Washington's place.
Not only did Conway and his friends
Win Gates over to this scheme, but
they induced several prominent con-
gressmen to lend their influence to
the movement.
1t was the Revolutions dark hour.
New York and Philadelphia were in
the bands of the British. Washing
ton and his army were starving and
freezing at Valley Forge after sum-
mer and autumn of repeated defeats.
Mems hearts grew faint and their al
legiance weakened. ConWay's crafty
words at such moment fell on ready
ears
The cabal waxed strong. But for a
mere accident it might readily have
ended by depriving Washington of
power and of placing the command of

MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED

tuberculosis.

Only four states, Mississippi, Me-
vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis was organized, there were 26
states in which no hospital or sanito-
rum provision for consumptiVes exist
ed, and the entire number of beds in
the United States was only 10000.
while these figures would Indicate
a remarkable growth in anti-tubercu-
losis activity" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary of the
National association, in commenting
on the subject, there are still prac-
tically ten INDECENT consumptives for
every one of the 10000 beds, including
those for pay patients. In other words,
we have from 100000 to 100000 con-
sumptives in this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves.
If tuberculosis is ever going to be
stamped out in the United States,
more hospital provision for these foci
of infection must he provided"

Thos, Conway "Cabap' Against Washington

the patriot armies in the hands of Gen.
Gates. And with fussy, inefficient,
cowardly old Gates at the head of the
American troops American liberty
would have been doomed. Here, in
brief, is the story of the accident that
saved our country:
Gates aid, Wilkinson, drank too
much one night and babbled to friend
of the chief some Of the contents of
which Conway had spoken insultingly
of Washington. The story was told to
Washington, who called Conway to &C
count. Conway rushed to Gates for
aid, and Gates tried to get out of the
difficulty by branding Wilkinson as a
liar.
Wilkinson promptly challenged
Gates to a duel Gates wept on Will
kinson's shoulder and implored him
to withdraw the challenge, speaking of
himself as feeble old man who loved
Wilkinson like a father. In this way
the frightened old general wriggled
out of fighting.
Meantime thanks to the first hint,
Washington learned Of all Conway's
anonymous letters and other treacher-
les The facts were made known to
the people. The cabal was crushed I'M
der storm of public disapproval.
But Conway was not to escape so
easily. He was challenged to duel
by Washingtons friend, Gen. Cadwal-
lader, who proceeded to shoot him
through the mouth.
Conway, believing himself dying,
wrote one more letter. This time to
Washington, asking forgiveness for
his villainies and declaring the chief
to be great and good man" Then
he "conditionally' resigned his COM
mission as an officer in the American
service Congress accepted the res
ignation, Internationally, and Conway
went back to France.
There he styled himself Count de
Conway" and managed to win an ap-
pointment as governor of one of
Frances Oriental provinces. He made
such a mess of his diplomatic work
in his province of the Orient that he
almost wrecked the French interests
there. He returned to France and be-
came a general in the royal armies.
During the French Revolution he
was condemned to death. He was
saved only by an appeal to Great Brit
ain against which he had fought in
the American Revolution), but was
compelled to flee from France for his
life
After that Conway disappeared from
history. He is supposed to have died
about 1900 in poverty and exile.
