STUDENTS ASKED TO
AID IN RELIEF WORK

university, college and school pupils
for assistance in alleviating suffering
and distress In Europe was Issued tor
night by the American Red Cross.
Frequently operations have to BE-
performed without anesthetics,' the
appeal says. The lack Of gauze ban
dages and absorbent cotton produces
infection, ending often in death from
gangrene or tetanus. The armies en-
gagged are composed Of youngs men
Of our own age, and for this reason II
seems particularly fitting that their

TWO NURSES RESIGN FROM
HOSPITAL FOR INSANE
New Reason Given Why the
Women Wish to Leave.

Columbia, March 20.-Dr. T. J. Strait the
new superintendent Of the State Hospital
for the Insane, took active charge Of that
institution this morning. One Of the first
things undertaken by the new administra-
tion was the transfer Of the negro male
patients to the building designated for
them at State Park. Twenty patients
were removed today and the work will be
continued until all have been transferred.
A development Of the day at the asylum
was the resignation Of Miss Fannie Irwin,
the head nurse, also that Of Miss Bessie
Smith, another nurse, the resignation to
become effective April 1. So far as can be
learned. no reason was given out by the
authorities of the hospital for the resigna-
ton Of these nurses.
DR.. Strait announced that the training
school for nurses will not be abolished.
The superintendent further stated that, In
his opinion, the lack Of proper rules for
the conduct Of the affairs Of the asylum
was the fundamental cause Of the trouble
that has existed In the institution. DR..
Strait stated that he would have prepared
new code, which he believed would elimi-
nate further friction among the officers
and employees.

COMPLETELY NUDE WOMAN
SENSATION ON PARTISAN STAGE

Paris, March 23.-The sensation Of
the first production of a dramatization
of Pierre Louy's "Aphrodite" in the
Renaissance Theater this week was
the appearance on the stage of to-
tally nude woman in the final act.
Mile Dorny went through this diff
fcult scene so gracefully and with
such good taste that the audience ap-
plauded heartily. The applause last
ed after the fall of the curtain, but
after it had been raised again the
actress made the mistake of stepping
forward to receive the plaudits still
naked.
The mood of the audience changed
instantly. There was an outburst OF
Kissing and ! murmuring, many PEI
sons standing up until Mile. Cora La
paciere, who takes the leading part
threw veil over the sohulders of the
nude actress, whereupon the loud ap,
plause was resumed.
The play follows closely Louy's nov
ell. The critics generally pronounce
the work affected, wfsfy-washy, oi
tedious sumptousness,. and painless
ly feeble naughtiness. -

Dispensary in Orangeburg

Last Saturday we saw q drunken man
driving buggy through Russell street.
With him was woman, probably his wife,
who. recognizing his condition, made sew.
eral unsuccessful attempts to secure the
reins. The horse was becoming restive
under the contradictory jerking he re-
ceived, first to the right, then to the left.
Finally he was guided almosti into theTight
sidewalk by the Intoxicated driver who re-;
alizing his error, pulled violently and
rapidly on the leftrein. The horse and buggy
made complete circle in the street, and
the woman, thoroughly frightened and
alive to her danger, shouted: Stop
him." and added In an agonidng cry, ''Oh
my God, my God" ~ 4

ers, negro convict serving time on the
county roads, broke his neck by a fall and
then worked for three or four hours, is
the declaration Of DR.. W. NJ. Jones, county

piece of timber and had a hard fall against
a stun, which struck him just under the

the meek and Rogers was shocked by the
fall, he did not consider it serious and in
few minutes was free from pain. He
kept at work until supper time. ate hearth
ly and retired. At 10 o'clock he died.
This morning Doctor James examined
the body of the negro and declared that

"The Rose Maid" With Its Car
Load of Girls.

sThe Rose Maid" one of the most pre-
tencious of the recent musical successes In
New York, with it's coach load of chorus
girls, comedians and singers is scheduled
for an engagement at the Opera House
Monday, March 3Oth, and it will be pre-
sented here with all it's original wealth Of
scenery, costumes and properties.
This tuneful operetta has been produced
upon a much larger scale than its sister
opera, "The Spring Maid" 1t is even said
to border on the spectacular at times.
Briefly the book deals with the affairs Of
the Duke of Barchester, a reckless but low
able young nobleman, who through the
wiles of three comedy money lenders,
| finds himself in debt and trouble. His
bachelor uncle, who had been paying his
debts, calls him scapegrace and diSinher-
| it's him. He is deserted by his fairweather
friends and even his fiance, the Princess
Hilda who only loved him for his expect
| ed fortune. A pretty romance Of the
yoeng nobleman is then unfOlded and he is
finally restored to his uncle's favor and
wealth. through the endeayorS Of Daphne,
the Rose Maid, whose devotion is rewarded
in the end.
Two acts Of unusual scenic magnitude
are necessary to tell the story. The first
one shows the luxurious salon Of Barches-
ter's London house. A wild Bohemian
revel Is in progress, the stage being filled
with magnificently gowned women and
brilliantly unifoamed army officers. In
this scene the Tivoli dancers contribute to
the merriment.
The second act discloses the lawn in
front Of skyscraper hotel in Ostend, and
it is truly a revelation in the art Of scene
painting. 1t pictures the great broad
staircase leading up to the hotel, bordered
on each side by great pillars and porches,
while the rear is long stretch Of richly
furnished corridors, resembling more than
anything else the famous Peacock Alley
of the Waldorf-Astoria.
In this act is shown the cabaret scene
with the sensational dancing on the stair
that wins so many encOres at each
+ ,lformance The act ends with the great
cavalry tournament in which the uniform
ed cavalrymen and women of all nations
go through the evolutions Of drill form
ing a Kaleidoscope Of color and brilliancy
seldom equaled in stage pictures. 4
splendid company of musical comedy ia,
vorites and a carload Of scenery are
promised local theatre-goers when "The
Rose Maid" plays.here.
