CATHOLIC SISTERS FOR
 ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL

Sisters Robert, Laurentein and Romanauld were among the pass engers transferring from the steamer Panama to the steamer Reliance for Fairbanks, and on arrival at the upper town will join the nursing staff of the St. Joseph's hospital.
 They were attached to the Roman Catholic hospital at Nome until very recently, when that institution was closed as conditions would no. justify keeping it up.
 The hospital at Nome is equipped to handle seventy-five patients and, at pinch, can be made to accom- modate about 100 patients. All of the equipment was left in ;he building in the charge of a care taker, as the Roman Catholic mis- sion in Alaska expects to be in posi- tion to reopen the hospital after the war.
 Nome is very quiet at the present, the exodus of people from the town has been exceptionally heavy this season owing to the war and the high cost of everything in that dis trict, but it is expected that a great many of those who have gone out, will return in the spring.

 felt that the ne'w system, Tn q very large measure, meets the labor shortage and materially increases the amount of work done with the limited force available.
 After partaking of a very enjoy able lunch at camp Is, the ladies, accompanied by Messrs Mover, Burns and Dr. Bowen went over to camp 400, on the high ground about mile from camn 15, in the direction of the old right of way, on visit to Engineer and Mrs. Hawley Sterl- ing; while the rest of the party went on to the front to see actual tracklaying operations in progress.
 The party proceeded on the work train over rails laid in a swamp and on to a stretch of partly fin ished grade. Here the Brown hoist with a car of ties and one of rails was busy passing on the material as required for the men ahead, who were laying track at a rapid rate. The laying of three rail lengths, (about 100 feet) was watched with great deal of interest ere the re- turn journey to camp 15 on the work train was undertaken.
 The right of way lying between camp Is and the end of steel was being filled. in with gravel and the track steadily raised to grade level, trains were on the move most of the time and this section was the scene of a vast activity.
 The return journey to Nenana was commenced about three o'clock and the run to town was made in forty minutes, after a very enjoy able and most interesting trip Superintendent Packer proved to be an ideal host and explained the diff erent phases of the construction work to the members of the party.
 The party left the front at about two o'clock, at the time Station No. 18650 had been reached by the steel. This station was on the partly fininshed grade and continued up to Station 1S634, where it ter minated in another stretch of ap- proximately 1000 feet of swampy land. Beyond this swamp, which is said to be the last of its kind on the D line, the grade on which sev- eral men and teams were working, was visible for some considerable distance. It is expected that, by the time the last swamp is crossed the grade beyond will be completed and that the tracklaying work, which is at present conducted under difficulties, will move forward very rapidly until the coal fields are reached.
 Right at the front and to within as close to the end of steel as she dared go was the Brown hoist with car of steel immediately behind her and a car of ties behind the steel. At the commencement of tracklaying operations car isload- ed with 100 rails and another with 450 ties, which allows of the unin- terrupted laying of 1850 feet of track. The Brown hoist reaches back and passes on to the men ahead the material as required, and moves on ahead as track is laid. Messrs Gamble and Ward took several pie lures of the work in progress at the front and also several views of the grade in the neighborhood of the end of steel

So insistent were the hordes that sometimes gathered in great numbers about her doors.
 Mrs. Sage was a little woman and extremely self-controlled. She gave, and gave liberally but was so deter mined that her giving should be done wisely, that shortly after her hus- bands death she established the Rus sell Sage Foundation with $10,000,- 900 for the improvement of social and living conditions in the United States. Outside of this she had made large gifts including $1,000,000 to he Emma Willard Seminary, $1,000- 900 to Rensselaer, Polytechnic Insti- ute, $35O,O0O to the Y. M. and the Y. w. c.

AIR EXPLOITS OF ITALIAN FLYER
 LIKE A ROMANCE

LONDON, Oct. 31-The air ex. ploits of Gabrielle d Annuzio, tho Italian poet, novelist and dramatist, have taken a strong hold on the Brit ish public's imagination, and he is acclaimed here as one of the world s foremost figures in aerial warfare. The London papers, which recently have been devoting considerable space to the daring Italian, express surprise that a man of his age and temperament was able to make so remarkable a success as an airmn. Few expected, the Oily Express says, that the dandy Roman poet" would become an air fighter after passing his fiftieth birthday.
 Above all, it is pointed out, he is an inspiration to his people. His deeds during the war are known to all the world, but few outside Italy realize that he has been the great est public orator of his country since the war began His speeches are full of prose music, and the mes sages which he dropped over Vienna was written as only poet and a soldier could write.
 D'AnnunZio as squadron leader is said to be not only fearless, but untiring. Routine bombing and chas- ing have no attraction for him. His fertile brain constantly at work de vising new methods for marrying the enemy in unexpected directions. That is why the Austrians hate him so intensely.
 It is believed here that his fate would be dire if he fell into the enemy's hands. and London is quite ready to credit the story that he carries in his tunic pocket a little vial of poison.

Attorney General of Eng land Says Kaiser Must Not Be Allowed to
 Be the Goat. =

LONDON, Nov 4. 4.-Frederick Ed ward Smith, British Attorney General, in an interview today advocated the establishment of Grand Court of Allied representatives, civil and mili- tary, to try those guilty of crimes during the war.
 He declared that the guilty must not be allowed to shift the blame to superiors. He said in every war there were criminals. He said these among the Germans might attempt to shift the blame upon the Kaiser, and he believed that the surrender of the guilty and direct trial for them, must be included in the Allied peace terms.

 Ladies and Gentlemen:
 Please permit me to say few words of thanks and appreciation for the splendid treatment l re- ceived here from everyone. I am leaving shortly for San
 Francisco to take a position for the
 State of California which for merly held until the United States
 declared war on Germany.
 It has been lifelong ambitiol of mine to work for the people and with the people. I was educated to believe that it was the duty of a citizen to give his time and best thought to the welfare of the state.
 Before the United States entered the war it was not the fashion for our ablest business men in this country to give their time and tal- ents to governmental affairs. The war is doing this for us, but we must not forget the lesson when peace comes. If in England and France the flower of the nation al- ways stands ready to serve the government, why should our coun- try find it's citizens less ready to answer the call?
 Liberty without government is anarchy. Government without CO., operation of the governed is au- tocracy. To govern and in turn to be governed is the only true form
 of liberty. In this conception there is nobody governing and nobody gov erned. We all govern and serve alike and together. We all serve one master, the only master that no | liberty-loving men need be ashamed l to serve-We serve our country. l am deeply gratified to the country at large, which has shown | nothing but friendship and appre- citation.

Mrs. Russell Sage Began Life as School Teacher and Was in Compar-
 ative Poverty.
WAS PROMINENT FIGURE
Was Descendant Through Her Father from Miles Standish; Other HiS-
 tory About Her.

NEW YORK, Nov. ,. - Margaret Olivia Sage, the widow of Russell Sage, who died Sunday, until she reached middle life had only the meagre income of school teacher. and then in a day she found herself mistress of one of the greatest for tunes in America. Her early days CT enough money to give herself a fair education, and her last days were spent in developing the science of giving money away. During the last seven years of complete stew ardship of the $70,000,000 left by her husband, Russell Sage, she returned nearly $3O,000,O00 to the public by systematic philanthrophy.
 My experience has taught me, " she had said recently, that success, full people are those who take what comes to hand, if it be small, wait and work for something better. The root of failure lies often in the thought that you can do but one thing and must do that or nothing"
 This practical philosophy developed when she was girl in Syracuse, N. Y, her birthplace. Her father, Joseph Slocum, was so reduced in circumstances by the panic of 1887 that the daughter at the age of nine years was obliged to help in the up keep of the household. At the age of 16 she started for Mount HOlyoke College expecting to work her way for four years by housework, but sickness overlook her on the way and she was compelled to stop at an uncle's house in Troy. Later she was induced to enter Emma Willard's Seminary at Troy, and after a hard battle for self-support she was grad uated and became school teacher. For nearly 20 years afterward she continued her battle, teaching schools in Philadelphia, Syracuse and Troy until. at the age of Al years, she became the wife of Russell Sage, then a frugal banker at Watervliet,
 Their home life was simple, de spite their wealth. Mrs. Sage took such a deep interest in her husband affairs that he turned over to her five years before his death complete control of his business and found that his faith was borne out by her successful operations. But she was proudest of her ability to support herself altogether independent Of wealth, and of her housekeeping.
 'If my cook should leave us today, she once said, q could do the work myself without running all over the city for another girl before we had something to eat. Housework is one of the best occupations I know. Girls should take up housework. even as servants, rather than work in the stores. If I had a daughter (She was childless) she would have been taught to cook and sew and be of some comfort to her parents. Some girls, nowadays, are of no more com fort to their parents than if they did not exist"
 Mrs. Sage was a "woman's woman and her charities were largely direct ed to the aid of women and children She became widely known as lady bountifur' and was so besieged with requests for money that she had tc
