A lively factional fight in the Demo-

few hours.
A caucus meeting OF a scant majority
Of members of the Democratic Central
Committee of the District was held last
night at Costello's Hall, with walter j.

chairman. unless Kelley listened to the
opportunities of this wing Of the party
and issued a call for a meeting within
the next six days
While the meeting was discussing

known throughout the civilized world.
The thrilling story OF her exploits on the
battletields of the civil war, the almost
unbelievable story of hardships and en-
durance In the camps OF the French and
German armies during the Franco
Prussian strife, has been lieralded AL
most as far as has the heroism of the
famous Florence Nightingale herself.
And that is only part of the story.
She endured prlvation after the fall of
the Commune to enter Paris on foot and
distribute food to the starving: she un-
derwent actual suffering entaii.d by the
rigors of travel in Russia and Turkey
to relieve suffering humanity there, and
she miraculously escaped the dangers OF
yellow fever in Cuba while nursing
Cuban reconcentradoes, and later Amer
lean soldiers at Santiago.
The child of Captain Stephen and SAL
lie Stone Barton, Clara was born In
Worcester county, Mass, on Christ
mas Day: 1871 She was the fifth
child, and according to her own state
ment the next oldest child was a sister
of twelve. Thus, oorn into a family
already so far started along the road
of life, Clara Barton had for te9chers
and guardians not only ber parents bu
two Older sisters and two brothers.

She never plnyed with dolls, but wrote
verses at the age of six. She narrates
with regret that because OF the strict
views of her neishborhcod she never
learned to skate or dance.
Worked In Cloth Mills.
One Of her pleasures when she was
older was to work in the cloth mills OF
her brothers. fact that gave rise to
the story that she was ar orphan and
supported several relatives by her
wages Her father was a well-to-do
farmer.
Clara Barton was induced to teach
school by her parents, with the hope
that she would be rid Of her timidity.

and In laying out the first national cem-
etery by the request Of the Govern
ment.
The next four years she spent in
searching for the missing men of the
army.
In the Prussian War.
Miss Barton nursed the wounded in
the Franco-Prussian war in 1S7o-1s71,
during which she spent much time with
the international committee of the Red
Cross in Europe.
She devoted seven years, from 1875 to
1882, to making the Red Cross known
in the United States. and she finally
secured the adhesion Of this country to
the treaty of Geneva, March 2, 1882,
having organized the American National
Red Cross and been nominated to the
first presidency by President Garfield.
Among the greatest works Of the
Red Cross during Miss Barton's con-
nection with the society were the re-
lief of sufferers from the Michigan for
est fires in 1881; the Mississippi and Ohio
river floods, in the early eighties, the
Charleston earthquake, the Johnstown
disaster. Russian famine in 1892, Ar
menian massacres, Cuban reconcen-
trado, Spanish h-American war, and Gal

the Government at three international
Red Cross conferences, and has been
decorated by several monarchs of Eu-
rope. She had received the thanks and
recognition of Congress and severa
