In 1874 when a British expedition was sent out to survey Western Pal estine, Kitchener was one of the eager volunteers accepted for this service. For many months he travelled over the hills and valleys of this peaceable Bible Land with his theodolite and surveying tape, and with this life in the open he grew to be a tall, gaunt subaltern with a hard face well burn ed. His contribution to the topo- graphical knowledge of the Holy Land completed, young Kitchener was sent to Cyprus, which Great Britain had just acquired, to organize a sys- tenn of courts, a work in which he dis played administrative ability and tact.
 It was there, in 1882, that he took his first step on the path that was to lead his eventually to Khartoum. Trouble was already brewing in the Sudan. Hearing that the Egyptian army was being organized by Sir Eve 1yn Wood, young Kitchener saw his opportunity with unerring instinct and lost no time in offering his ser vices The military authorities, recog- nizing at once his insight into the na- tive character, put him in the inte1li- gence department, and from the very outset of his Egyptian career negotia- tions of the utmost importance were entrusted to him and carried out with invariable success. As an intelligence officer Kitchener accompanied Sir Herbert Stewards desert column on that heroic but disastrous enterprise known the Gordon Relief Expedi- tion-the relief of General Gordon from Khartoum where he had been entang1ed during the evacuation of the Sudan.
 Kitchener deeply took to heart the lessons of this f1asco, with it's failure of transport and intelligence depart ments, and avoided these troubles in the expedition which he himself led some years later In the meantime Kitchener was employed in innum- erable fights and raids against the dervishes or Hahlists of Southern Egypt. In 1886 he became governor of the Red Sea territories apd set in motion series of raids on the notor- ious Osman Digna, the dervish leader. In one of these raids Kitchener's men were hanked and put to flight during which he received a bullet which broke his jaw.
 By this time much was heard in England of Kitchener's work in Egypt and when he returned there for a, short rest he was received with honor and nominated aide-de-camp of Queen Victoria. With his health re- cruited, he went back to Egypt where, on the resignation of Sir Francis Grenfe1, he was appointed Sirdar (Commander) of the Egyptian army. His really great career dates from that time.
 As an instance of the se1f-confi- dences with which Kitchener under took his tasks in Egypt is recalled how he dealt with the War Office for. instance, is said to have been the query with which he annihilated dandifed officer. He was indifferent to popularity, particularly among women, and though feted all over the world in social circles, never married. In 1910 he paid a, brief visit to the

How little the Republican aldermen care for the rights of small home own CTS was again manifested at the meet ing of the common council last night. Those aldermen voted permission to Mary F. Whitney to lay a spur track from the Berkshire division of the New Haven road opposite Wakelee street, crossing Housatonic avenue down Wakelee street and across North Washington avenue onto IT acres of land that Mrs. Wakelee owns on the water front.
 Every property owner in Wa-kelee street and vicinity appeared in opposi- ton to the proposed track at the public hearing last night Some of them have owned property on the street for 50 years Nevertheless, af- ter the hearing, a brief recess was held, the streets and sidewalks com mittee held a brief session and then reported favorably on the project. All the Democratic aldermen present -vot- ed against it They were Aldermen Harrigan, Moran, Toole and Clancy. The Republicans with the exception of Alderman T1erney, voted for it.
 Frank A Whitney, son of the peti- tioner, was the only person who. ap- peared in favor of the petition. He said his mother could sell her prop erty to advantage if permission for lthe spur track was obtained Some mysterious great manufacturing con cern'' is prepared to locate here if permission for the track could be ob- tained. The name of the concern, MT. Whitney was not prepared to state.
 Alderman Malcolm MacFayden chairman of the streets and sidewalks committee. in making lis report, said he believed it was for the best in terests of Bridgeport that this track be laid. He said the property in Wakelee street is fit only for manufac- turing purposes and would soon be acquired for factory sites but who will build factories there he wouldn't say. He had a '-hunch,' however, that soon all this section will be hummihg be seen there no more.
 Who's this railroad for anyway % queried Alderman Daniel P. Harri- gan.
 .'I am. not prepared to state at this tine."> replied Alderman MacFay- den.
 # You seem we'll fortified on every other part of the subject rejoined the Democratic council leader, sarcas- t1cally. Why don't you come out in the open and tell us what is behind all this ?''
 Your honor" he continued, 'I do not think you have given proper con sideration to the damages to the small property owners that will occur if you permit trains to go over this street, The home owners there have told you how narrow it is and how dangerous The street will be nothing more than a railroad track if you grant this pe- tition.

GORDON BL LAMES CROWDED HOMES
 FOR MUCH EVIL
Recommends Limiting Number of Persons Who May
 Sleep In One Room.

Citing the over crowding of homes as the outstanding feature of the years events in this city, Superinten- dent Spencer R. Gordon of the chari- ties department in his annual report submitted yesterday to the board points out that Immortality, fIlegiti- macy, sheltering of evicted families, in institutions pending adjustment and increased hospital care have resulted from the conditions brought about by the boom in Bridgeport which neces- sitates the hudd1ing together of many persons in the same room and the eviction of the poorer families that are in no position to meet the high rents charged by the landlords.
 In the course of the report the su- perintendent recommends that a limit of persons to be allowed to sleep in a room be set, that a juvenile and do- meStic relations court be established, 1, that greater care be taken in the treat ment and segregation of tubercular cases, and that system be establish ed in the new Hillside home whereby the various classes of inmates be se- parated into groups to their physi- cal condition, character and ability to do work.
 The report of the city physician, George B.. Garlick, M. D., treated in particular with the aid and relief of tubercular patients and pointed out that in most cases the family was dependent upon the city as the bread winner was the afflicted. The average age of cases was 2S years showing that most of the victims were afflicted in the prime of life. Though 40 per cent of the cases came from the class of poor and overcrowded the greatest danger turks in the fact that 72 per cent. of the cases were in advanced stages of the disease. In the report Dr. Gar1ick praises the school nurses for their educational work among the children.
 Total disbursements of the depart rnent for the year amounted to $125,- 331.92 while $S,224-71 was turned over 90 the city treasurer. Persons treated numbered S,670 and SOAP were given medical treatment, 4,945 prescri ptions were filled, 4,975 grocery orders were filled, 1.117 city cases were admitted to the hospitals during the year, 1O7 tubercular patients were sent to san ftoria, 54 Insane patients were admit ted to the hospitals, while irnbeciles or epi1eptics were admitted to insti- tutions At the end of April there were 73 hospital, 42 'tubRrcular. 213 insane, IT imbectIes and VI eptleptic cases from this city remaining in the institutions. During the year 1,742 ambulance runs were made of which only 41 were not there on arrival and 23 refused treatment.
