(1820.)
BY CHARLOTTE BREWSTER JORDAN.

rare combination of heart and brain which
makes the ideal nurse. By means of her
winsome personality and marked execu
tive ability .she dignified the profession of
nursing and raised it rrom the makeshift
employment of the degraded or Ignorant
up Into the realm of the fine arts.
Xamed for the beautiful Italian city In
which she was born In 1820, Florence
Nightingale passed much of her happy and
charitable childhood at her father's coun
try seat at Leigh Hurst, Derbyshire. She
was peculiarly fortunate In her forbears.
From her mother's father, William Smith,
the great philanthropist, she inherited her
earnest desire to be one of the world's
helpers, and from her father she derived
that mental equipment and broadmlnded
ness which converted her ambition Into
fact.
Charming stories are extant of her sym
pathetic childhood. In which the nursing
of wounded animals and scientific bandag
ing of dolls played an absorbing part.
Her studies of the languages and higher
mathematics developed and strengthened
her. mind for the scientific discipline in
store for it. and her facility as a musician
and needlewoman trained her delicate
touch to a nicety. To these early advantr
ages forelcn travel added Its broadening
influence. "Wherever she -went she studied
the science of nursing; tending with her
own hands some wounded Arabs whom the
family met while traveling In Egypt,
studying for several months with Pastor
Fliedner's Deaconesses at Kalserwerth,
working with the Sisters or St. Vincent
de Paul of Paris, serving altogether an
apprenticeship of nine years of close study
of the alleviation of suffering before the
critical moment arrived that was to test
her life work. Meanwhile she had great
ly impaired her health oy working night
and day for three years, putting the Har-ley-Street
Sanitarium upon a sound finan
cial and scientific footing, thus demon
strating Indisputably that self-sacrificing
helpfulness -was the first law of her be
ing. While recruiting from the bodily ex
haustion Incident to this work sh,e shared
In the horror agitating all England, caused
by the terrible pictures of suffering which
William H. Russell sent to the London
Times from the Crimea. In these "letters
he demonstrated so clearly that the un
sanitary condition of the British Army
was killing off more men than the deadly
battles of the Crimea tnat England bo
came panic-stricken over the mortality
list, yet seemed helpless to curtail it. In
the hurry and enthusiasm at the outbreak
of the Crimean war (1854), Great Britain
had dispatched shiploads of men improp
erly provided with food or clothing for
tho severe Russian climate. Starvation,
cholera and agonizing suffering were the
results. But two persons In England
seemed to retain their composure amid the
general consternation Lord Herbert, MIn.
ister of War, and Florence Nightingale.
The former wrote a letter to his friend,
Mlas Nightingale , stating that he consid
ered her the only person In Great Britain
capable of bringing order out of confusion,
and Imploring her to organize and di
rect the reform of the military hospitals.
and this letter was crossed by one from
Miss Nightingale, volunteering to place her
strength and ability at the service of
her nation.
Good trained nurses were almost un
known quantities In those days, vet, noth
ing daunted, Florence Nightingale sailed
from England with SO of the best nurses
that she could muster within a week from
her letter of volunteer. Letters Immedi
ately appeared In the dally papers inquir
ing who this patriot was. and when it be
came known that she was not the hospital
matron of the old regime, but a young,
delicate and singularly accomplished
woman who was about to try to lessen
the hldeousness of war, popular gratitude
and enthusiasm became Intense. When
her mission became an accomplished fact,
and It was found that her quiet good
sense was able to overcome the popular
prejudice against womanly prominence, to
conciliate the general disapproval of medi
cal and military officials; to train her staff
into tho knowledge that mere kind-heartedness
was not the only requisite for in
telligent nursing: and to keep all around
her up to the very highest standards, the
national support became immediate and
practical. So sympathetic that her grate
ful patients declared their recovery to be
due to the compassion with which she
dressed their ghastly wounds, she never
theless understood so well the art of tem
pering her sympathy with measures for
ultimate gain that outsiders sometimes
lost sight of her tenderness in her phe
nomenal executive energy.
Overcoming professional jealousy by set
ting her nurses an example of obedience
10 me surgeons, she set herself to the
task of cleansing tho Augean hospitals
containing over 4000 patients. These bar
rack hospitals at Scutari, which had been
loaned to the British Government by the
Sultan of Turkey, were 100 feet abovo th
Bosphorus. The day before the arrival of
the staff of nurses the wounded from
Balaclava had been landed; packed in
the overcrowded transports, their wounds
had not been dressed for five days, and
cholera and fever were reaping their fear
ful harvest. The poor men outside in tho
trenches, half perished with cold and
starvation, were faring far better than.
tne sufferers in the tainted wards of the
disordered hospitals.
After comparative comfort had been es
tablished. Florence Nightingale opened a
diet kitchen, where specialties were pre
pared for the SCO men who could not eat
ordinary food; a laundry, where, for the
first time since they had been brought
down from the Crimea, the ragged clothes
of tho soldiers were washed, and a com
bination library and schoolroom, where
the chaplain aided her In instituting games
and lectures for the convalescents.
The roost difficult of all the provinces
was. of course, that of nursing, yet It is
said that wherever there was the great
est danger or distress, there the faithful
head was to be found silently superin
tending, never allowing a severe case to
escape her personal treatment. To ac
complish this she often stood 20 hours at
a time, and after the doctors had retired
she was to be seen making her nightly
rounds through miles of suffering patients,
shading with her hand the lamp that she
carried, that It might not disturb the sick,
many of whom as she passed kissed her
shadow on their pi lows with passionate
enthusiasm. Longfellow has commemo
rated this Incident In his exquisite "Santa
Fllomcna" with such sympathetic touch
that no biographer of Florence Night'n
gale can refrain from quoting It:
"Lo In that house of misery
A lady with a lamp I eee
Pas through the glimmering gloom.
And flit from room to room.
"Ana slow, as In a dream of bliss.
The rpeechles sufferer turns to kls
Her shadow as It falls
Upon the darkening walls.
"On England's annals, through the Ions
Hereafter of her speech and song,
A llcht Its rajs shall cast
Prom portals of the past.
"A lady with a lamp shall stand
In the great history of the land.
A noWe tyre of Rood,
Heroic womanhood."
Not so elegant, yet probably as sincere
as the most polished verse, were the street
ballads In which popular enthusiasm ex
tolled: "The Nightingale of the east.
For her heart It means good "
And In the Nightingale home. St.
Thomas' Hospital. London, a statuette of
the "Angel of the Crimea" tells the same
storj in marble.

she felt It her duty to cross the Black
Sea to do what Bhe cou.d to alleviate the
sufferings In the hut hospitals of Bala-
-z. JSFUSS:
and the protracted strain finally brought
about the long-feared result over which
her friends had been so apprehensive.
Florence Nightingale succumbed to the
Crimean fever, and for several weeks lay
at the point of death. Shortly after her
recovery the one-and-a-half-years' war
came to a close, and its heroine slipped
quietly home, an Invalid for life. Too un
assuming to accept any personal reward
for her services, or even the carefully
planned ovation of her grateful country
men, she retired to her Derbyshire home,
for many years unatte to leave the house.
Her Invalid life was anything but idle,
however, for she worked during the re
mainder of her long life, ameliorating with
her pen the hospital conditions through
out entire Europe, India and Australia;
her favorite recreation being an occasonal
visit to the Nightingale Memorial Home,
which England erected at a cost of 50.
000 as a testimonial to her helpfulness dur
ing the Crimean War. She possessed
wonderful facility In condensing tedious
reports and folios into strikingly lucid
FLOnnXCE
briefs, most useful to the engineer, archi
tect, medical officer and homemaker.
The Crimean War she characterized as
"a sanitary experiment upon a colossal
scale," and she Impressed upon the Brit-
Ish commissioners Its salutary but har- J
rowing lessons. In addition to her help-
ful books upon the health of the British
soldier, her labors in helping to found
the Red Cross Society entitle her to he
gratitude of the soldiery of the civilized
world. Just recently In her 79th year Eng
land has consulted her regarding the mili
tary hospitals In the Transvaal.

Ui
Gives the Reasons Why.
HOOD RIVER, Or" May 30. (To? the
Editor.) In the somewhat desultory dis
cussion of the question of woman suffrage
which has appeared lately in your col
umns, I do not think sufficient stress has
been laid upon one argument for "Impos
ing" the ballot upon women, namely, the
educative Influence which sooner or later
will follow. Responsibility of any kind,
when imposed. Is an education. To me
a, convincing reason for Imposing the suf
frage upon women is that so many of them
"do not want it." I have thought and
seen, for many years, how entirely public
affairs are "caviare" to women who are
sufficiently intelligent upon all other sub
jects. One evidence of the value of the
agitation of woman's rights and wrongs,
and of the extension of the ballot as a
means of expression, is that this agitation
has been coincident with a. steady increase
' In woman's interest In questions in Issue
at elections, and it is coincident also with
NIGHTINGALE.
methods of school education In which girls
as well as boys are taught the principles
and responsibilities of citizenship. Is it
not also almost demoretrable that the
material changes In statutes which have
conduced to place women on equal plane
with men In so many vital ways are the
result of this same agitation? It is sig
nificant that every effort of women by
organization to promote needed social re
forms culminates in conversion of their
rank and file to the need of the ballot for
women as the Indispensable expression
of sentiment In action. The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union is in v dene;,
with one of the greatest and best women
America ever produced, Frances Wlllard,
as the leader and lnsplrer.
It seems to me, sir, that a large part of
the opposition to woman suffrage comes
from Americans who are permitting them
selves to doubt the value of any suffrage
whatsoever. I feel the reflection of this
pessimistic doubt In the "wave" of oppo
sition which now seem to emanate from
some colleges oven, and which Is reflected
by some circles of tvstlmable educated
women. Women do not "want" the bal
lot, because they see that many men do
not, and are told that universal suffrage
is one the way to be a failure. It Is the
old "politics Is a filthy pool" argument.
But we are In an era of Intelligent change,
especially as to the manner of providing
for the expression of the popular will.
The scries of reforms which have given
us the Australian ballot and registration,
and which Is to be completed when a pri
mary election law of adequate scope is on
tho statute-books, are restoring the hope
and confidence of all voters, and will en
sue In a notable access of courage and
effort by all citizens In the questions and
decisions of politics. In these efforts and
on the new civlsm, women ought to sharo
No external reform or law indeed makes a
people responsible or virtuous or patriotic;
but if such movements or laws are edu
cation, or get up a tepdency and a "pro
claiming voice," they are doing all we have
a right to expect, I shall vote for the
woman suffrage amendment to our state
constitution, on such grounds, and because
I have never yet ceen nn adequate answer
to the argument of George William Cur
tis, written some DO years ago. He was
a great editor and clvlst, a widely experi
enced scholar and man of affairs, and nre-
sented this unequaled and for me unan
swerable argument for woman's suffrage

SEATTLE, June L J. C. Kurtz and

March 16, two months later than any
other arrivals, reached here tonight on
the Bertha. They made the trip over
land and caught the Bertha at Kodak.
They refuse to te'J their detailed route,
but claim to have cut down the distance
several hundred miles. They report that
several thousand men are already at work
on the partly frozen beach, and taking
out good pay. Several new pay streaks
have been found, nnd a number of rich
quartz strikes are reported. The miners
have organized and fixed the amount of
beach territory each man shall have.
Every claim of any value In the entire
country has been staked and restaked. and
the new arrivals figure that It will take
a year's legal work to establish the
ownership. The miners say they will sur
render the reins of government to Gen
eral Randall upon his arrival.

LUMBERFREIGHTS HIGHER
BIG SHIP CHARTERED NEAR
RECORD RATE.
Refused Forty Shillings for Wheat
The Strathgryle Fire Overdae
Ships Marine Notes.
The German ship Nympbe, 3049 tons, was
chartered a few days ago to load lumber
at a Puget Sound or Bncsh Columbia port
foe the United Kingdom at 3Ss 9d. Con
sidering her size, this la the highest rate
that has been paid for a lumber carrier
for over 10 years, Ati the rate is big
enough to set shippers to wonuering If
tho limit has been reached. The Nyrnphe
is reported to have refused 40 shillings for
a. wheat charter about a week ago, and
the rate accepted meat accordingly te
more attractive for the owners than the
wheat freight would hava oeen. With
lumber freights booming in the North, and
record-breaking rates for nitrate out of
West Coast ports, the opportunity for
cheap wheat ships will be limited. Nitrate
freights are higher than they have ever
been bziort, as high as 34 shillings hav
ing been paid for shlpe. for September-October
loading.
TOE STRATHGYLE FIRE.
First Officer of the Steamer Prob
ably Fatally Injured.
Cable reports several weeks ago brought
news of fire on board the British ship
Strathgyle. which loaded flour at this poi t
for Hong Kong. Mall advices Just recei ed
havo further particulars of the accident,
and also tell of the heroic deed of 'he
first officer, which has probably cost him
his life.
On April 27, when the Strathgyle ar
rived at Yokohama from Portland, via San
Diego, it was found that part of her car
go of cotton In the forward hold wa3 on
fire. For several hours steam was turned
Into tho compartment and later a deal of
water was pumped below. While the cot
ton was blazing two of the steamer's men
went Into the "hold and were overcome
with heat and smoke. They wouid have
been suffocated had not the nr-t oriicer
volunteered to go below and attach a line
to the prostrate men. They were hauled
out safely and then the officer tied the line
to his own body and gave the signal to
haul away. Just as he reached the comb
ing of the hatch the rope slipped and the
poor fellow was thrown into the hold.
When the Gaelic left the port he was M 11
unconscious, and there was not muh hepo
of his recovery.

the Shipping Commissioner.
Port Townsend is mucn agitated at the
prospect that the office of Shipping Com
missionor may be removed to Tacoma. as
the result of the appointment of James
Knox, of Tacoma, to ttic position. The
value of the office to Port Townsend la

THE OVERDUE CLE3IEXT.
Her Safe Arrival Inspires Hope for
the Annie Thomas.
Tho arrival of the Henry Clement at
Kalo CbaU, after a passage of SV days
from Hamburg, has again excited interest
in the long overdue Annie Thoma.', aid
there arc some who believe that the 'f
ter vessel has a fighting chance for life.
The Annie Thomas Is out about X days
from Cardiff for Acapulco, and those who
have a slight belief that she may show up
are basing It on tho fact that she may
havo tried to make her port of destination,
Acapulco, after turning back and grlig
around the Cape of Good Hope. Acapulco
is a hard port to make, owing to prevail
ing calms.
The Annie Thomas was under charter for
wheat loading at Portland, and as Mtcs
are 5 or 6 shillings higher than they
were when she was chartered, she will
prove a good Investment for her charter
ers. If by a miracle she should turn up.

GERMAN MEAT BILL.
No Assurance Thrt It Will Not Go
Into Effect Immediately.
NEW YORK. June 1. A special to the
Herald from Washington sajs:
While encouraged to believe from re
ports received from Andrew D. White, Am
bassador at Berlin, that the German Gov
ernment will prevent the enforcement of
the. new meat inspection act until after
the present contracts held by American
packers are filled, the authorities confess
that they arc without nteolute assurances
that this will be dene. Mr. White has
Informed Mr. Hay that In purfeu-
ance of his Instructions. , he has
called tho attention of the German Gov
ernment to the desirability of delaying
the time when the law shall enter Into
operation, or at least amendlnsr It In such
manner that the contracts of Amerlca'f
packers now In force will not be affected.
It Is said at the State Department that
Mr. White has not cabled it any infor
mation confirmatory of the advices re
ceived by Morris Epstein, president
of the German-American Provisioning
Company, that the bill will not go Into
effect until October 5, and officials fear
there has been some mistake.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"Quo Vadis?' at Cordrny's.
Manager Cordray has secured the at
traction that Is sure to fill his popular
family theater at every performance next
week. Rus&ell and rriv's production of
the famous play, "Quo Vadis?" has re
ceived more praise from the press than
any other play of the season. The at
traction Is a large and attractive one. They
carry a carload of special scenery, three
magnificent African lions used in
the Arena scene, and more stage
paraphernalia than any like or
ganization traveling. ''Quo Vadls?"
not only teaches a moral lesson, but It
teaches salutary respect for religion and
a contempt for the pomp and splendor
of Nero's corrupt and iniquitous court.
The lions have been at the theater for sev
eral days, and have attracted much at
tention. They are noble animals, and their
presence on the stage will greatly enhance
the effect of the j'ay.
"Tyranny of Tears."
It Is with pardonable pride that Man
ager Hclllg presents John Drew and his
talented associates at the Marquam
Grand next Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings. The play In which he will be seen Is
called "The Tyranny of Tears," and Is
classed as a comedy of temperamtnt by
lts distinguished author, Haddon Cham
bers. Its success is well known to all
those who take interest in theatrical news
Its run in London, Its great vogue In
New York, its great nit In Boston, Chi
cago. St. Louis and other cities. It is
considered one of the very notable plays
of the generation, an.d Is written In the
purest comedy vein, with a literature that
will delight the ear and a story that will
hold the attention of an audience from rise
to fall of curtain, while Its theme will be
the subject of conversation for a long time
to come. It will be presented by the orig
inal cast, and with the same detail of
scenic accessory that characterized Its
prolonged engagement at the Empire The
ater, New York. Misses Isabel Irving, Ida
Conquest. Georgie Mendum and Messrs.
Arthur Byron. Harry Harwood and Frank
E. Lamb are in Mr. Drew's support. The
sale of seats begins this morning. The
