STRIKE OF NURSES.
Those in Rutland Hospital Resented
Insult to Flag by Nova Scotia Girl.

Rutland, Nov. r. Rutland is just
getting over the effect of nurses
strike which threatened to leave the
entire city without the feminine touch
necessary to quick recovery, but
the end of the affair is not yet in sight,
About 10 days ago, one of the Amer
lean nurses studying at the Rutland
hospital received post card with Old
Glory on the back. She showed it to
nurse in the graduating class, Miss
Annie McIane of Nova Scotia, who is
alleged to have made a slurring remark
about the flag.
Stung by the remark, several Yankee
nurses demanded an apology from Miss
McLane, who Is quoted as having re-
piled, 81 meant everything | said and
! surely shall not apologize
Then the American nurses waited
upon Miss Annie A. Aitken, superin-
tendent, and threatened to strike ii an
apology was not made.
I'VE demand an apology from Miss
McIane, said one. IF she does not
wish to give it and you do not desire
to continue without her services, the
entire body of American born nurses
will leave the hospital. We Aave no
desire TO continue our study in an in
stitution harboring those who have no
respect for the glorious flag that il
protecting them and giving them the
opportunity to advance their knowl-
edge of culture and medicine"
Miss Aitken, the superintendent, re.
fused to act and the entire corps of
New England nurses, some who had
served in France, quit work
This made it necessary for Miss Ait
ken to summon her sister, Mrs. Will
liam Stickney, wife Of well-i1nown
surgeon, to assist in the care of the pa
tients. The strike continued through
the night, and the next morning the
nurses returned to duty upon learning
that Miss MeLane had left the institu.
ton They have performed their duties
ever since.

her husband were about to start for
Florida TO spend the winter Two days
ago an operation was started for the
removal OF malignant growth from

by a large circle of friends in Barre
and vicinity who will greatly mourn
her death; and the sympathy of all of
them goes out to the bereaved husband
in his hour Of great sorrow Many 10.
cal societies and organizations will miss
an efficient and enthusiastic worker.
Mrs. Northrop was member of He'd
ding Methodist church and was CON
scientious worker in that society, She
was also prominent in the Cobble Hill
grange and in the Brookside Commu-
nifty club, of which she was one of the
founders. just before the time set for
her departure for Florida, the members
of this club and others paid tribute to
Mrs Northrop by making her and her
husband guests Of honor at a farewell
gathering.
On March G, 1895, her marriage to
Frank R. Northrop took. place, and
they have since that time resided in
this city and in the town of Barre. Be
sides her husband, she leaves one broth

neral will be held at the home of B. w.
