'UNCROWNED QUEEN
 OF GREECE DEAD
Sophie Tricoupis Yielded Vast h. fluenCe During Her Life

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 Athens, Greece, Aug. 10.-Sophie Tricoupis one of the most remarkable women of modern Greece, is dead. She had been termed The Uncrown- ed Queen of Greece" an appelation fully warranted by the facts, for it is doubtful if even the Empress Eugene ever exercised so much direct control over the destinies of France as this woman did over the fate of modern Greece.
 She was daughter of Spyridon Fri eoupis, the first premier of free Greece, and the sister of Harilaos Tricoupis, who during the last quarter of the nineteenth century completely dominated Greek politics. As a child she made the acquaintance of Lord Byron, who was a familiar friend in her fathers house and it was her father who pronounced the funeral address over the coffin of the English poet. Her youth was passed in Lon don, where her father was Greek min

 The keynote of the discussions will be sounded by Dr. John O. Hornsby, of Chicago, who will submit a report on "The Standardization of Hospital Organization;' and the annual address of the president of the association by Dr. Winfred H. Smith, superintendent Of Johns Hopkins hospital, will be one of the opening features.

Philadelphia,

Philadelphia, Aug. 24.-Stan- dardization of hospital work and the training of nurses will be the princi- pal subjects of discussion at the eighteenth annual conference of the American Hospital association here September 26 to 30. Fifteen hundred professional hospital men are ex- pected to attend
 According to Dr.. William H. Walsh, former uperintendent of the Munich pal hospital of this city, the conven- tion will take action toward establish ing uniformity in hospital work, possibly even to the use of surgical instruments, and toward placing the nursing profession on the highest Ilane. The question whether hospi- tals which reject venereal cases should not be cut off from state ap- preparations may also be considered. Many members of the association be- Eeve that hospital should be pre- pared to receive any kind of a case, even to contagious diseases. Many persons who are seriously i'll from a courageous or venereal disease prefer to undergo treatment at home rather than feel the stigma of entering a special hospital for the Urea atment of such diseases.
 The association will go on record, tt Is predicted, in favor of properly

lster, but on the entry of her brother into the political arena she returned to Athens and took up her place at his side. Nor did she ever leave him. Re- maining unmarried, she devoted her entire time to aiding him in his po- litical work and in looking after his personal comfort.
 A woman of striking appearance, she was the more conspicuous by the fact that she never changed the style of her clothing from the date of the death of her father in 1873. She re- tained even the early Victorian fash ion of doing her hair and in her later years resem bled nothing so much as a daguerreotpye come to life. The house which she and her brother occupied was a very small one, but in spite of that, some of the most distinguished political figures of the nineteenth cen tury passed through it's drawing room. The present emperor of Russia, Ed ward VII. and Queen Alexandra of Denmark were only a few of those who were the guests of this remarka ble
 woman.
 But her relations with the distin- guished visitors to Greece were wholly
 political. She had no social ambitions
 and the ordinary balls and social
 gatherings of Athens never saw her.
 She was not only the inspiration but
 the active co-wOrker of her brother,
 and knew quite as much about politics
 as did he and it was frequently to l Madam SOphie,' as she was called that those who had some political pro- posal to make addressed themselves rather than to the minister himself. With the death of her brother, how ever, she ceased all political activity and retired to a secluded life which she permitted nothing to disturb. She
 was over eighty years old when she died.
 Appendicitis was the cause of her death on July 26. Her body was in tered in the vault beside that of her distinguished brother, she being clad only in a shroud. According to her wishes there was not even a coffin, and no one was present at the funeral save the members of her inm ediate family.

are monotheism, immanence, Gods
