1t contains 20.260 inhabitants. Russian
troops are said to have captured the
town and occupied 1t, driving the Aus
trian rear guard back beyond the river
San. It carries on considerable trade.
Dispatches to Rome have announced
that over $4,000 wounded Austrians and
Russians have been abandoned near
Tarnapol, because of the absence OF
proper facilities for transportation.
The town is on the river Sereth. eighty
miles east-southeast OF Lemberg. and
in 1900 had a population of s2,oS2. one
half being Jews. 1t is known for Its
distilleries and steam and four mills.
To the east of Galicfa is the Austrian
crown land Of Bukowina, with Czerno-
witz its capital From Bucharest, Sep
tember 8, came the news that the Rus
sian forces had occupied the city with
out resistance. Later 1t was evacu-
ated by the enemy and recaptured by
the Austrians. Within the past few
days the czars forces were reported
as again in possession of the town.
Czernowitz stands on an elevation
abutting the right bank of the river
Pruth and has broad. well kept streets
adorned by gardens and vineyards.
It is a modern town, the residence OF
the governor of Bukowina and Of
Greek oriental archbishop. The new
cathedral is the handsomest OF the
buildings The churches generally do
not possess architectural beauty. A
German university, founded in 1875, is
located here. At the market. held

is a pleasant resort. Nearby is the bo-
tanic garden. There are no important
manufactures, though some are carried
on in silverware and hardware. Trade
in raw products is conducted almost
entirely by the Armenians and Jews.
With much emotion the commander
in-chief of the Russian army an
nounced to the emperor September
that Russian forces under Gen. Brus-
siloff had taken Halizc small town
on the Dneister, sixty-three miles from
Lemberg. Nearby are the ruins OF
fortress of the middle ages. once the
residence of the Princes Of Halizc,
from which name, it is said, Galicia
derives its name.
The Austrians suffered most dis
astrous defeat at the hands of the Rus
SLAMS at Rawa-Ruska. thirty-two miles
northwest of Lemberg. The army was
reported in a desperate condition, thor
oughly disheartened by its frequent
defeats and suffering. Not much is
known of the town. In 1900 the popu-
lation was less than 5000.
An old castle which has been con-
verted into convent Is the only build
ing of any Significance. 1t is esti-
mated that at Lemberg, Halizc and
Rawa-Ruska the Austrians have lost
innumerable thousands in dead and
wounded, besides 10000 prisoners.

Galicia is one of the northern prov

the northern frontier: east by Russia,

all that it owes its success to Miss
Keyser 1t is no exaggeration to say
that Miss Keyser is lone of the most
capable women in England. She pos
sesses genius for organization. is a
most tactful parsonage. and has a
charming and delightful personality
One of her first patients was Lord
Kitchener. This was shortly after the
Boer war, when he had a bad attack OF
Influenza while in London. Lord kitch-
stood fearfully in awe Of him, but MISS
Keyser did not. When the field mar
shal declared his intention Of getting
nm one day before his temperature was
vet normal, Miss Keyser forbid him 10
do so.
.I am not accustomed to be ordered
not to do a thing that intend to do.
Miss Keyser," explained Lord hitch-
ener.
"I am not accustomed to allow people
here to do anything that don't intend
they shall do" replied Sister Agnes,
and she is probably the only person
who has ever successfully defied the
man who Just now Is lord and master
of the English people, and Is q greater
power than parliament.
When Lord Kitchener left the hospi-
tai the sentence he wrote IN the Visit
ors' book was characteristic OF him ana
a great compliment to MISS keyser:
Things are well done here; l could
not manage the place better myself.
Prince Arthur of Connaught was an
other patient of Miss keysers fhe
prince was threatened with an attack
of appendicitis and went into the hos
pital with a view of having an opera
ton performed, but this was found to
be unnecessary. When the prince was
in the hospital the late king and Queen
Alexandra came to see him.
Thank God. l have not to undergo
this operation" he exclaimed, and L
will be out of this in a couple Of days"
Miss Keyser, who was In the room,
turned at once to King Edward and
ought to thank God for that. It's rather
rude"
Before the war broke out Miss Keyser
had over three hundred applications
from well-to-do officers to reserve them
a bed in her hospital in case of need.
but she refused all such applications.
One officer in the 18th Lancers offered
to pay her $2,500 to reserve bed for
him. Miss Keyser placed her hospital
at the disposal Of the war Office, by
whom beds are requisitioned, and she
never knows who her patients are until
they have arrived.
The hospital. a week after the en-
gagement of Mons. was full. and Miss
Keyser then rented another house in
Grosyenor Gardens. where accommoda-
tion can be had for about another fifty
ofacers. One officer who left the hos
pital recently presented Miss Keyser
with a check for $4,000.
