 Five of them died.
 Here are their, names:

 The woman who is. in all probabil- ity. fatally injured is:
 Sister Mary Kostka Farrell of Coun- ty Kildare, Ireland; nativity IRISH.
 It is the old story over again. Five people have died as heroes die, a sixth The blood has proved itself again. In the hearts of four women it ran as strong and true as it ever flowed in the breasts of men who have made Irish courage famous throughout the world In the dark of an autumn morning. with none looking on, it was been on any of the great battlefields of 1hesseaFfh when all the world was watching and when every Irishman knew that whether he lived or died the tip of his sord would catch a gleam Of glory.
 In another way the list of dead and dying is typical of the race which fig Hres in it, two for one against all the world Those three women died as the Irish have died through all the centuries in all parts of the earth; alone. by tMoss by tens and by hum dreasl They died for the sake of others whoRe Hangers they had unsel- Hsia1y chosen to share.
 One French woman and one Mex1- can woman gave their lives as brave ly and as heroically as the three Irish women gave theirs. There were Oth- CTS in the orphanage, too, who would have died as these five women died in order that the lives of the children might be saved They did their du- ty as St came. but it was so ordered that the supreme sacrifice was not claimed Of them.

MILK DEALERS
 ON THE CARPET
FoUR OF THEM BEFORE HEALTH BOARD ON CHARGE OF PUT TING WAITER IN THE FLUID ALL OF THEM PUNISHED.

New Haven, Nov 13-Four milk dea1- CTS who had been barred from selling milk in the city appeared before the board Of health yesterday to show cause why the refusal should not be made permanent. In each case the charge was that of watering the milk, and the milk inspectors of the board had at least two charges on samples analysed against each of them.
 One of the accused said that his hir- ed man must have taken water from the well without authority, and prom ised to lock up the milk hereafter. An other declared that his aeration, a device for cooling milk. probably leak ed and the water got in that way.
 Another declared that the water was surely put in his milk while it was in transit The fourth admitted that he was in the habit of taking the cream off his milk and that he had been up before the board before for selling milk from cows that he knew were un- healthy.
 Tn the first case that of NJ A. Ros- enquest Of Clintoville, the board de- cided to keep on the suspension for two weeks longer; in the second case. that Of A. Gutenberg Of Milford, the suspension was lifted at once; in the third case, of c. s. Lanean, the sus- pension will remain two weeks longer. and in the fourth case, of MT. Eliot, the prohibition is continued indefinitely. In all cases, however, the milk must be up to the standard

 MT. Bryan himself has declined to dis cuss cabinet possibilities since he has been in Washington, and has laughing 1y put aside all efforts to draw him into an expression as to his own will- ingneGe to accept an appointment should it be offered him.
