tron, although yet young In appear

A trained nurse by profession, with
years of service In some of the finest
hospitals In England and also In pri
vate work, in the pursuit of which du-
t|ps she has crossed the broad Atlantic
thirty-three times, has made six trips
to Russia, and one cruise on the Med
iterranean, she has come In close touch
with all classes and has figured In nu
merous thrilling Incidents of human In
terest. In fact, the story of her pic
turesque career reads more like fiction
thnn the narrative of a reality.
Her varied experiences, many of
which have brought her In contact
with daring criminals and with people,
both men and women, of the toughest
grade of humanity, have well fitted her
(or the duties of police matron, Instill
ing in her the knowledge of how to
handle those brought under her care
and jurisdiction.
With a stout heart and extraordinary
nerve for a woman, combined with pro
nounced gentleness and a kindly dispo
sition. she rules her department with
out difficulty, and causes the female
prisoners at once to evince for her re
spect and admiration.
Began As Trained Nurse.
With sympathy and a kindly feeling
for stricken humanity, Miss Sander
son early In life determined to do what
she could for the sick and suffering,
end took up nursing as her life work.
She received her first training In the
.Manchester Royal Infirmary, In Man
chester, England, and afterwards was
connected with the Northern Hospital
in Liverpool, and with hospitals of the
West Derby Union. It was In the
Northern hospital that she received
pome of her most Interesting and at
the same time nerve-racking experi
ences. This Institution Is situated on
the Liverpool docks. In the very tough
est section of that great city, and the
major number of patients represent the
rough element, most of them being
sallrint.
After remaining In this work for a
time the strain began to tell on Miss
Sanderson, and she gave up her native
home, coming to America for the bene
fit of her health. Nenrly all of her
time kt this country has been spent
in private nursing. She was engaged
In this work at the time she accepted
[tit offer of Chief of Police Jennings
to become police matron, an entirely
new venture In her already long list of
experiences.
In a conversation -this week with a
Georgian reporter In the matron's' ward
at the police station, Miss Sanderson
related some of herInteresting'life his
tory. When the newspaper man In
formed Miss Sanderson he wanted to
"rite a story concerning her* the at
first demurred, but after much persua
sion was finally Induced to talk and
to pose for a photograph.
British Toughs Ars Toughsr.
Miss Sanderson states that from her
experience so far with police charac
ters In Atlanta, she Is convinced they
arc not as bad as the same cloai In
England.
"I had a great deal of experience
with isdico characters In the Northern
hospital In Liverpool,” said the Ma
tron, "and I found these people much
worse than this type In thla country,
and especially in Atlanta. Fighting Is
one of the strong characteristics of the
low class females of England, and they
"ever seem to know when they are
whipped. They would come Into the
hospital bloody and beaten, the effects
of knife wounds and blows, and many
of them would want to go right out
again as soon as their wounds were
dressed and resume the fight.
“There was one striking Instance In
the case of a white woman who came
Into the hospital one night with her
head cut. She had been In a fight with
another woman, and as soon as she had
received the necessary attention left
the hospital and renewed the trouble.
She came back a few minutes later
with a lacerated finger, which had been
bitten by her antagonist. The wound
was dressed and she went out The
trouble was resumed and shortly after
wards the patient came back with her
time I promised to assist her to escape.
She remarked: 'You help me out of
here and I will reward you fully. Tou
will never have to xvork In n hospital
again. I will make you rich.*
"When she fell Into the hands of the
police she flew Into a rajs, and, trem
bling with anger, declared she would
'get me' If she ever got out of prison.
She was tried and sentenced to >1
years.”
Trouble With Delirious Patient*.
Miss Sanderson also told of two ex
citing experiences she had with • de
lirious patients. She said:
"The foreman of a squad of work
men who were decorating the Queen’s
looked like a ghost I approached him
and said, ‘Spats, what ars you doing
hare.' Ha thought ha was serving beer
and replied: ‘Here, take this pint and
go on.' I soon persuaded him to return
to the hospital and he was put In tba
straight jacket..
‘‘In the West Derby Union Hospital
at Walton.” continued the matron, ”1

there I had a patient who had the hal
lucination aha was Queen Victoria. She

subjects and that she was ruling them.
So strong was this hallucination that

she was addressed as ‘your majesty.'

skull crushed. She had kept up the
fight to the finish. She died the next
morning.
''Owing to the situation of this hos,
S ltal. It being on -the docks in the
eart ,of the toughest district of Liv
erpool, I came In contaot with many
criminals and police cases. All of the
ship accidents were brought to the
Northern hospital aifd I had to attend
many snllors. There was hardly a ship
to land that did not develop some kind
of accident. And some of these sailors,
let me tell you, were certainly tough.
A large percentage of the sailor cases
represented dirk stabs, this being a fa
vorite weapon with them. The practice
of using dirks became so common that
Judge Raffles, of the criminal court,
finally adopted a, new mode of punish
ment that had a beneficial effect. In
stead' of sending a sailor to prison for
using a dirk, he would sentence him to
a certain number of lashes. These
would be administered by a strong, able
bodied man. and each lash would bring
the blood. The wounds would then be
washed out with salt water.
After this, there wae a decrease In
the' number of stabbing case*.
Threatened by Queen of Thieves.
Mrs. Sanderson then related an Inci
dent of the Northern hospital, In which
she played an Important part and which
resulted In her life being threatened
by a desperate woman, who operated
a fence for one of the blggeet and
most daring gangs of thieves ever run
to earth by the Liverpool detectives.
Thla woman, Elisabeth Crowder, tried
to bribe Miss Sanderson to get her
Oft of the hands of the police and Was
led by the nurse Into a trap, she finally
being sentenced to serve twenty-one
years at hard labor. It wae at tbe sue-
cesaul culmination of the trap that
she threatened to “fix” Miss Sanderson.
If she ever tot out of prison.
"This woman,” said Miss Sanderson,
“resided In a house down on the docks,
I think It was In Roberts street. She
kept house and operated a fence for
■s * rlaanarafa van* ttf t h lavas tv filch
drunken woman would beat the chil
dren unmercifully. Thla cruelty final
ly drove the brother and slater to the
atreeta, and they would sleep about the
alumn Ih old abandoned 1iokx1i*mi1h and
boxea, eatlnjr orange peeN and other
similar refuse to be found in those
miserable thoroughfares.
Although In dirt and rags, the hey
possessed a manly heart and did his
host to car* for his little sister. One
day while In the street Little Robert
met with an accident, his font living
crushed by a passing cart, and he was
taken to the hospital, whero he re
ceived the kind ministration i of Miss
Sanderson. As the sister was left alone,
she, too, was cared for In the hospital.
“Robert had taken good care or the
gift from his dying mother—the little
prayer book—and this was found In his
ragged clothing," said Miss Bander-
son. A newspaper reporter got Urn
prayer book, and on finding the family
names, published them In a story of
the accident.
“And this Is where a reporter did
a good deed," remarked the matron
with a smile.
“The newspaper story brought out
the fact that the little outriisiH had a
wealthy aunt residing at Blrkctnhr.id.
on the Cheshire aide of the Mersey.
She read the story and came ttt onto
to the hospital, taking charge of tha
children. She took them to her splen
did home, clothed them, and made it
their home. It seems that the parents
had fallen Into poverty and had been
ashamed to 1st their relatives know
their condition. The family had been
lost up until the time of the accident to
Robert.”
Nursed the Nobility.
Mlae Sanderson did some private
nursing In England, and during this
time attended members of tho nobili
ty. She also nursed for a long time
desperate gang of thieves, which
operated principally In France. Uhl*
house was fitted out especially for the
busbies*. It was equipped with trap
door* which opened Into the eea. Any
article the thieves desired to rid them
selves of, would bo dropped through
these trap doors and washed out by
the'tide. It was thought that human
bodies ((Itappeared by this route,- but
positive proof was never obtained.
“The house was under suspicion by
the sleuths and the gang finally fell
Into their hands through an effort on
the part of Elisabeth Crowder to sat
isfy her thirst for strong drink. Ths
woman became Intoxicated one day,
and In her drunken condition fell out
of a window, badly Injuring herself.
She was taken to the Northern hos
pital unconscious. In the meantime,
her home was raided- and the thieves
arrested. The woman became uncon
scious the next day, and, although she
was not Informed of the raid, seemed
to believe she would get caught. She
appeared to havo confidence In me,
and, calling me to her side, begged me
to slip her out of the hospital. I
knew she ought to be jailed, and, al
though I disliked to do It, I practiced
a little deception. I told her I would
nld her In every way I could. So ear
ly one morning I procured her clothes
before anyone was stirring about the
hospital and she dressed. She then
followed me down to one of the en
trances, fully expecting to walk out to
freedom. Instead she wae met by four
policemen, who had been Informed of
the rue*, and she was taken away to
jail. She was a woman of means and
had promised to make me rich at tbe

and I asked him what he wanted. He

tlon waa carried out to the letter. The
party left town in a Lakewood trolley
and the remainder of the dletance be
tween the car line and the plantation
was covered In wagons and buggies.
On arrival at the farm every man di
vested himself of coat and waistcoat
and prepared to enjoy himself to the
best of his ability.
A box of marbles and a number or
quoits were brought out-and-the games
started. Rev. John E. White Is a noted
marble player. Rev. Junius Millard Is
pretty good himself, and the two
pegged away at the "middle man with
a vengeance. Dr. T. P. Bell, Dr. J. E.
Simmons and several other-of the
younger divine*, not to mention Attor-
ney Robert Shropshire, who was a boy
not so many years ago, shot from
"taw” and squabbled over fudging'
like a Crowd of youngetere. Nobody
played for "keeps," however. _
Such dignified ministers as Dr. Virgil
Norcross, Dr. K. H. Basmajlan. Dr.
Bennett and Dr. Ward played quotte
as If they had been practicing every
day. When the quoit throwers got
tired tr>ing to ring the peg they tried
leap-frog. .
At the noon hour a short song and
prayer service was held, conducted by
Dr. Millard. Rev. Mr. Basmajlan, an
evangelist with a fine tenor voice, led
In the singing. Dr. Basmajlan I* an
Armenian. When the last amen had
been said Dr. White, pastor of the
Second Baptist church, gave the signal
and half the preachers stampeded In
the direction of the mill pond. Here
they divested themselves of all super
fluous clothing and gave exhibit Iona, of
high diving and pennant winningswim
ming and floating. Little John White,
son of the Pastor, proved himself a
veritable merman and Slashed about In
the. pond at a great rate. Dr. Bennett
ampSydemonstrated that he wasn t
afraid of water.
The water from the mill pond,-flow
ing oyer the dam, makes a flrst-claas
shower and the bather* all took ad
vantage’ of this natural Turkish bath.
A negro boy had brought a bale of
towels down to the pond and when
these had been put to the proper use
the bathers were ready for dinner. The
meal waa spread upon tables conetruct-
ed for the purpose on a huge platform
built at the bottom of the bill on which
the farm house stands. Thera was
fried-chicken In plenty, . also roast
shoat, all manner of vegetable, corn
bread, hoe cake and watermelons.

Brown, sisters of Mr. Brown, and his
three nieces, Mieses Olive, Idell and
Relta Kimball, spread,the tables and
saw to It that the preachers got all tha
fried chicken that waa coming
them.
When the dinner waa brought to a
close and the melons had gone the
way of the chicken,, Dr. Landrum, as
master of ceremonies, announced that
an Impromptu vaudeville performance
would be given and that certain per
sons present might expect to be called
upon. Each victim, he said, must re-
spond with a speech, song or dance.

was In fine fettle Friday. He kept
things lively for several hours. He said
there sere two classes of people—
those who live In Atlanta and those
who expect to. TMfcn he called on Dr.
Bennett, of Griffin.
"What's the matter with Bennett 7"
shouted Dr. Landrum.
“He’s all right!” yelled the preach-
"JVho's Sll right r •
•BENNETT!”
Each speaker was given a similar
reception.
The new secretary of the Georgia
State Mission Board gave a good ac
count of himself. He was followed by
Rev. R. D. Hawkins, superintendent of
the Baptlet Orphans' Home, who told
some funny stories. Rev. George Bale,
president of the Atlanta Baptist Uni
versity, was the third victim singled
out. He related some amusing expe
riences. Judge Andrew Calhoun, pre
siding officer of ths second division of
the city court of Atlanta, harked back
to the days when he was recorder, and
told three good yarns, and then sang n
song In which he was joined by all who
could sing.

Another Incident with which Miss
Sanderson was connected developed a
pathetic story of the slums anil had a
romantic, novel-llke sequel. It dealt
with the lives of two little children,
a brother and sister, nobert, aged 10,

These little tots were left orphans,
the parent* both dying of the dread
malady consumption. The mothei died
