CROSS-qOTRY RIDERS.
men who DELIGHT to follow
THE HOUNDS.
How They Pursue tho Wary Aniseseed
Hug and Ride Daring Steeplechases—
Capital Horsemen and Courteous
Gentlemen.
New York, May 14. —Our gentlemen
riders ere again in the saddle. At present
they are devoting their energies to tearing
across country after hounds which are in
hot pursuit of an anisesead bag. An Eng
lishman—from the country where a real fox
is an essential element of fox hunting—once
spoke of our enthusiastic pursuers of the
aniseseed bag as “seedlings.” This was more
witty than true, for those who lay out the
courses with an aniseseed bag make them
stiller than a course taken by a fox would
often be. Our gentlemen riders are really
capital horsemen as well as capital fellows,
and their good horsemanship is largely due
to the stiffness of the aniseseed courses. I
often hear people sneer at the sport of cross
country riding us one of the results of An
glomania. That may be, but it is a good
result. In case of a war I would look for
our Custers among our gentlemen riders.
Every time they ride cross country they
meet dangers from which those who sneer
at them as dudes would shrink.
Frank G. Griswold in the saddle.
The oldest, vet one of the most dashing of
these followers of the hounds is Mr. Frank
Grey Griswold; he is the oldest without,
however, having turned 40. To see him
sauntering up Fifth avenue with somewhat
of a stoop, you would not take him for a
cross-country rider. You would hardly
credit him with the requisite dash. Bat
once in the saddle, he holds his own with the
youngest and sauciest. Mr. Giiswold is
often spoken of as “one of the most popular
men in New York.” He is one of the pillars
of the Union Club and an “institution” at
Tuxedo. His prominence at Mr. Lorillard's
beautiful park is due to his good fellowship
in general and his relationship to Mr. Loril
lard, of whose New York office he is the
manager. He is a son of N. G. Griswold,
after whom Pierre Lorillard’s son, N. G.
Lorillard, is named. His manners are those
of an easy-going gentleman. He is tali,
slight, with drooping eyelid:, and long droop
ing blonde mustachios. At the club he
usually sits in a comfortable attitude, his
hands resting on his knees and his muscles
relaxed. He has studied at a German uni
versity, and therefore can talk horse scien
tifically as well as sportingly.
Mr. Griswold’s figure is more familiar
among the pink coats than among gentle
men riders in steeplechases, as he is rather
heavy for the latter sport. He was an en
thusiastic leader in cross-country riding
when it was first introduced hore as a swell
sport, and he did much to make it popular
and permanent. He is not riding as much
as formerly because of an injury to one of
his knees, sustained some five years ago from
being thrown, but he still retains his inter
est in the sport. He has been master of the
hounds for both the Queens county and
Meadowbrook hunts, and still holds the
same position for the Rockawav Hteeple
chase Association. His mounts are usually
the most popular at the horse shows.
The “Black Count,” as Count Elliott
Zborowski was called during his visits here
some years ago, liecause lie wore black in
steeplechases, is known as a daring rider.
His skill is as much admired as his fearless
ness, for he is said to have the lightest hand
on the reins of any one who has followed the
hounds here. Ho is tall, has a smooth face,
and his straight hair, like, Itis turf color, is
black. He is also a good four-in-hand driver
and an excellent polo player. His mother
was known a s the “beautiful Miss Morris,”
of Pelham. In Ireland, where he hunted
until his recent return to this country, he
entertained a number of American guest*,
among them “Alty” Morgan (Mr. E. D.
Morgan). Mr. Hitchcock, Sir. S. S. Sands
and Mr. Stanley Mortimer, who vehemently
denies that ho was sent to Coventry for
landing on a prominent Irishman, and says
ho has letters from the Duke of Portland
and other prominent sportsmen asking him
to come over for next season's hunting.
George Work in the lead.
Mr. S. S. Samis, Jr., of the Knickerbocker
Club, does not “carry silk” very often, but
when he does ho is sure to be always well
up at the finish and often in front. The
‘‘light blue” is, therefore, rarely without
numerous backers. Ho likes the extremes
of lonic distance, heavy-weight steeplechases
and polo pony races. He rides what his
friends eau a “proper” race—not trying to
get away on a frying start or lying back for
a brilliant finish. Following the pace and
working himself gradually into a good place
by watching for opportunities, ho goes for
fhe race at the right time and with many
changes in his favor. Mr. Sands is faultless
in dress and unostentatious in bearing.
Mr. George Work may for contrast s sake
be mentioned immediately after Mr. Sands.
His riding is as reckless as the latter's is snfe.
His escaixs have been numerous and to the
spectators marvelous. Hut he is as cool us
he is reckless, and apparently is drawiiig
against an inexhaustible stock of nerve. He
is the son of Mr. Frank Work, of horsey
fame, and his sisters, Mrs. Burke-Itoche and
Miss Lucy Work, are excellent horsewomen.
Mr. George Work has tho handsome oval
features of his family. He Is not riding as
much now as in past’seasons, having become
a stock broker.
Mr. Belmont Purdy, of the Union Club,
or Bob Purdy, as ho is familiarly called, is
so keen a sportsman tliat ho resides in Gar
den City near the Meadowbrook kennels in
°rder never to miss a meet He is enthusi
satioally devoted to tho interests of the
Meadowbrook hunt. He is of medium
Vf’sht, smooth-faced and fair of cofnplexiou.
His race is of the “Billy Donohue” type, a
waiting race and haru (lntsh. Sometimes
be wait* too long, and empties the pockets
of his friends which lie filled but an hour
before Mn.. Purdy, who wtw a Miss Oil-
?**’ ,K a '®° an ictrenici cross-country rider.
Purdy’s grandfather rode American
Eclipse in the famous race between that
horse and Henry.
dhe Hunters are a family of thorough
breds, and Mr. Arthur Hunter’s friends say
tt * UUI ho girew up in his father, Johii
Hunter’s, stables, in South Carolina. He
has ueen a frequent and miscellaneous rider
—steeplechase, flat race, long or short dis
tance, were all the same to him. Since his
marriage to a Miss Sehuchart he has not
been in the saddle so often as in his bachelor
day B - He is a brilliant rider, for, being a
light-weight, he sets the pace and makes it
as hot as possible, so that, if he has a good
mount, his short, slight figure is not unlike
ly to lie carried first over the line. Mr.
Hunter is a keen judge of homes. He was
among the first to detect Hole’s merits and
purchased him in partnership with Mr.
Frederick Gebhard, a venture .which ended
in a squabble.
Angie Belmont, as Mr. August Belmont,
Jr., is familiarly kuown, frequently follows
the Meadowbrook hounds with nis wife,
formerly a Miss Morgan, a daughter of Ed
ward Morgan and a granddaughter of
Mathew Morgan. Mr. and Mrs. Belmont
reside not far from Hempstead Plains, where
the Meadowbrook hunt’s course is situated.
Mr. Raymond Belmont, who recently shot
himself, gave promise of becoming a bril
liant all-around horseman. He and his
friend, Mr. Oliver W. Boyd, were among
the founders of the brilliant Howard polo
team. Mr. Bird has been appointed whip
of the Westchester hunt by Mr. F. O. Beach,
the master of the hounds.
The riding of Mr. Stanley Mortimer is
distinguished for recklessness rather than
skill—oi\ to put it bluntly, for lack of skill.
With a fine string of horses his wins have
been few, and he has on several occasions
sustained severe injuries. Still he has a vast
deal of pluck to his credit.
Mr. W. K. Thorne, Jr., a grandson of
Commodore Vanderbilt, is as well known in
the South of France, where he usually spends
his winters, as he is here, and his pleasant,
courteous maimers and his daring horse
manship have given foreigners a high idea
of the American sporting gentleman.
Tommy Hitchcock, or to lie more exact,
Mr. Thomas Hitchcock, is as well known for
his sportsmanship in England as Mr. Thorne
is on the continent. At Cambridge he was
considered a fine polo player. He owned
the English built cutter Voiante, afcout the
first cutter owned by au American. Mr.
Hitchcock was Captain of the easily defeat
ed international polo team last summer, but
played so brilliantly that he was highly
complimented by the Captain of the success
ful team.
One of our neatest gentlemen riders is the
slight and trim Jack Cheever—Mr. J. D.
Cheever. The great success of the Rock
away hunt and the inception of the Rock
away Steeplechase Association are largely
due to his efforts. His sister, Mrs. Cowden,
is one of the most graceful yet daring riders
in the country.
F. O. Beach and his pack.
Mr. Foxhall Keene, son of Mr. James R.
Keene, is, like Mr. Hitchcock, a brilliant
iiolo player. Though a mere boy in weight,
lie rode so hard against the big Englishmen
in the international match that their Cap
tain had to complain.
Last fall Mr. R. Livingston Beekman, the
tennis player, who was last year second to
Sears, and was supposed never to have been
“outside of a horse,” distinguished himself
in the Westchester hunts. Messrs. Edward
and Howard Potter are well-known mem
bers of the Westchester. A young rider
who is improving is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
James P. Kemochan.
Taking them for all and all, our gentle
men riders are plucky and dashing young
fellows in and out of the saddle.
This reminds me that the New York
Coaching Club’s parade takes place on May
38. How the interest in this sport lias
grown in the last ten years since Col. De
laney Kane drove his Tally-ho from the
Hotel Brunswick up Fifth avenue, over
Harlem Bridge and out into the lovely
country that lies between the Harlem river
and New Rochelle. It was the first trip of
a public coach driven out of New York by
a gentleman. The Tally-ho trips did not
pay expenses, but Col. Kane did not expect
they would. He merely desired to awaken
interest for the sport among rich New York
ers. and in this he was eminently successful.
The Coaching Club, which is now a thriving
institution, was organized soon after CoL
Kane’s pioneer trip, and ever since the club’s
organization the annual parade of coaches
has never failed to draw a great crowd. The
parade is always followed by a dinner at
the Brunswick. Prominent among the pres
ent members of the club are Col. William
Jaf , who has been its President since its
formation; Frederick Bronson, Col. Kane,
Hugo Fritsch, Isaac Bell, Jr., C. Oliver
Iselin, J. Roosevelt Roosevelt, Francis R.
Rivfjs, Reginald Rives, James V. Parker,
George R. Fearing, George Bech, August
Belmont and Perry Belmont.
Col. William Jay is a great-grandson of
John Jay And a son of John Jay, who was
Minister to Austria. He served (luring the
war, and is, therefore, a real Colonel. He
is a lawyer of high standing at the New
York t>ar. Col. Jay has been driving since
he was a young man. Ward, of London,
the distinguished professional driver, taught
him the art of driving four-in-hand. He is,
however, a good all-around horseman. Ho
rides well for his weight, and follows the
hounds at Rockawav and Meadowbrook.
His team consists of two dark chestnut
wheelers, with a gray (off side) and a chest
nut as leaders, 't he two latter are consid
ered by inuuy the prettiest brougham team
in the city. Col. Jay apd CoL Delaney
Kane were most active in organizing the
Coaching Club.
Col. Delaney Kane is a son of the De
laney Ivane who married Miss Langdon.
Through this marriage he is connected with
the Asters, Mrs. Woodbury Langdon hav
ing been a Miss As tor. Col. Kane, like Col.
Jay, took lessons of Ward. He also drove
a public coach in England. He n arried a
daughter of Mr. Adrain Iselin. H wis at
one time the most popuiar loader of the
German in Now York, and his sen ices in
that capacity are still in much demand.
Mr. Frederick Bronson is another crack
whip. He is prominent in New Yo.k so
ciety, having married a Miss King, a daugh
ter of Oracle King, of the old banking house
of Prime, Ward & King. , , , ,
Mr. Hugo Fritsch is the left handed driver
of the duo, and though ho does drive wi h
Ills left hand ho is considered one of the mo-t
export handlers of the roius in the organiza
tion. He is an Austrian and at present
Austrian Consul. Ho often drives Mr. Theo
dore Havemeyor's coach.
Isaac Bell, Jr., is the present minister to
the Hague. Mr. Bell, Col. Jay, Mr. Bron
son and Mr. Fritsch drove a public coach,
called the Tantivy, from the Brunswick to
Yonkers and back, after Col. Kane with
drew the Tally-ho. Each of the gentlemen
named in connection with the Tantivy was
about $S<K> short at the end of the season,
and the Tantivy was not put on the road
again.
Notwithstanding financial losses oh the
trip* of the Tally-ho and the Tantivy, two
oi the younger members of the club, iluars.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 15, 1887-TWELVE PAGES.
C. Oliver Iselin and J. Roosevelt Roosevelt,
started a coach between the Brunswick and
the then newly organized Country Club at
Pelham. Mr. C. Oliver Iselin married a
Miss Garner and Mr. J. Roosevelt Roosevelt
a Miss Astor. Both are brilliant drivel's. It
was found very pleasant to drive out to the
Country Club, lunch there and return to the
city on the coach, and numerous parties for
that purpose were formed and the equipage
was engaged for weeks ahead. It was put
on abqut the last of May and driven several
months. Messrs. Iselin und Roosevelt had
thirty-two horses, made three changes each
way and covered the dsstanco in about an
hour and three-quarters. They found them
selves financially ahead when they stopped.
This snmmer their coach will again run to
the Country Club, and parties for that
pleasant rendezvous are already being
booked.
The Four in Hand.
Mr. Francis R. Rives and his youngest
son Reginald Rives are distinguished mem
bers of the club. Young Rives is one of its
best drivers, though its youngest member.
Among the Rives horses are two particular
ly pretty pair of high action gray leaders.
Mr. Francis R. Rives is a Virginian. His
father was Minister to France and took him
to Paris as his Secretary of Legation.
Mr. James V. Parker, another member of
the club, is the Mr. Parker who had the
difficulty with Mr. Bradley over a game of
whist at the Union Club. He is a bachelor,
and hence his coach is always elaborately
decorated with flowers, lie is quick in
conversation, an entertaining talker and a
good fellow all around.
George Bech, another member of the
Coaching Club, is a half brother of Mr.
Henri Braem, who until the scandal which
arose from letters written anonymously by
him to a well-known society lady reflecting
severely upon her husband, was Danish con
sul here. It was Mr. Becli’s steam yacht on
which the members of the Coaching Club
who made the memorable trip to Lenox
from Mr. Rives’ place on the Hudson, steam
ed up to Cammath.
Mr. August Belmont and Mr. Perry Bel
mont drive beautiful blood bays. Other
active members are Messrs. George Gris
wold Haven, Richard Mortimer, E. D. Mor
gan, Frank St urges, Prescott Lawrence and
W. F. Morgan; among the non-driving
members are Messrs. \Y. K. Vanderbilt,
Thomas Newbold and Nicholson Kane.
Out-of-town members are Messrs. Charles
Joy, of Boston, Fairman Rogers, of -Phila
delphia. A. R. Cassatt, of Chesterbrook, and
E. M. Padelford, of Baltimore.
The club is prosperous, and its activity is
kept lip by constant accessions from the
younger members of New York society.
Such has been the result of Col. Kane’s
plucky experiment. Gustav Kobbe.
AN EXCITING INCIDENT.
The Late Vice President Hendricks’
Narrow Escape.
From the Indianapolis News.
The death of Maj. Gordon recalls the
vivid incident connected with the reception
of the news of the assassination of President
Lincoln in April, 1865, \and the memorial
meeting held the same afternoon in State
House square, which was addressed by Gov.
Morton, the late Vice President Hendricks
and a number of other prominent gentle
men. There was some feeling against Mr.
Headricks, who was then one of the Sena
tors from this State, and shortly after he had
begun speaking someone raised the cry of
“hang him,” and this was taken up by a
number of others, who evident!)' enter
rained a deep-seated hostility against him.
Several thousand people were facing the
stand at the time, and as the dies increased
a scene of intense excitement followed,
during which the calmest man in the crowd
was Mr. Hendricks himself. Conspicuous
on the platform was Mai. Gordon, aud he
added his voice to that of Gov. Morton, that
Mr. Hendricks was ther e by invitation and
his views must bo respected, and after pos
sibly some ten or fifteen minutes of inter
ruption Mr. Hendricks was suffered to pro
ceed. Maj. Gordon often spoke of this
incident, as it was particularly impressed
upon his mind, not only because
of his personal presence, but liecause a short
time before, at the meeting of the Bar As
sociation, he heard Mr. Hendricks deliver
the identical speech itr which he was then
being interrupted, and he noticed when the
tumult was quieted that he resumed at thq.
very point of interruption, in this way de
veloping a self-poise that was wonderful un
der the circumstances. After the close of
the meeting the crowd still hung around, as
if determined upon doing Mr. Hendricks
jiorsonal injury, ruid, on ascertaining that he
was unarmed, Gordon volunteered to act as
an escort to his office, which was then located
in the *-Etria building, saying: “Take
my arm and we’ll go off together. I have
an excellent pistol, well loaded, and no mail
shall hurt you while I live. 1 will kill qjiy
man who attempts it.” Mr. Headricks aud
Maj. Gordon then walked away together,
and they were not molested as they passed
along the pavement to their destination.
Maj. Gordon always believed that Mr. Hen
dricks remembered this episode with the
liveliest gratitude toward him personally,
and he said of Hendricks in return: “His
courage was like Othello’s sword —of the ice
brook’s temper.”
A Strange Suicide.
The circumstances connected with the sui
cide of a young Turkish journalist, Beshir
Fuad Bey, are of so singularly melancholy
a nature that it may not be thought ritrl
eat on our pa.t, says the Levant Herald, to
record them here. ” On Saturday last Fuad
Bey returned to his home ut Nalli Medjid,
Stamboul, about 9 o'clock. After complet
ing certain correspondence be locked him
self in and proceeded to undrew. Then, hav
ing inoculated his left arm with cocaine to
kiu the pain, ho opened the veins of it in
four different point*, cutting the carotid
artery with a pair of scissors. While the
blood was thus flowing from his wounds,
Fuad Bey wrote as follows, until compelled
by weariness to desist:
“My operation is performed. I felt no
pain-only a slight pricking after the loss of
blood. At this moment my sister is outside,
knocking; but I have sent her away, say
ing that lam busy. Luckily she does not
insist upon entering. I can imagine no
sweeter death than this. 1 liit my arm to
let the blon i flow freely. My head swims
—I am going to faint.”
The narrative stops there. Fuad Bey
could never continue it. When the door ]•".
at length broken open, which is not effected
until His death cry summons the household,
he is found there in his last ugony. “Doc
tor,” he says feebly to the surgoou who tries
to administer re fief, "give yourself no
trouble; I have but five minutes to live.”
And after a few moments Fuad Bey
breathed his last. A letter was found ad
dressed to the police, in which the deceased
begged them to accuse no one of his death.
He bequeathed his body to the school of
medicine for the purpose of dissection. In
letters to his friends Fuad Bey declared that
his mother had (lie-1 in a mad state and that
and >cftors hod told him that a like fate was in
st ire for him. Thus, after squandering hi
fo 'tunc of some £30,000 pounds, he resolved
to kill hitmelf. Fuad Bey was only 83. He
leaves a wif' and two children. Beginning
life as an officer be ended it ns a journalist,
for which his linguistic talent* and bis flexi
ble Intelligence peculiarly fitted him.

STILL ANOTHER CHARITY.
Additional Points About the Training
School for Nurses.
It has often been remarked by strangers,
as it is also a subject of pride among our
selves, that Savannah is noted for the char
itable disposition of its citizens, and its area
is dotted by numerous charitable institu
tions. We have justly earned the title of
being the “City of Charities.” There are
eighteen churches with seating capacity for
10,000 of the white population," and twenty
churches with sittings for about 18,000 of
the colored race. This is a good religious basis
to work from. Apart from the numerous
individual aud parochial churches of these
forty congregations (which are not here
taken into aooouuth there are public institu
tions to cover the needs and necessities of
poverty and sickness at. almost every stage.
Let us realise, by a hasty survey, how very
true it is that the wants of the distressed
part of our population are met at every
turn by an institution adapted to meet its
necessity. If a poor mother needs a place
to leave her babe while she is earning her
daily bread the Day Nursery stands ready
to receive her little one, and to leave the
mother’s hands free for her work. If that
little one should happen to lie bereft
of both parents, left n tinv waif on the
world’s rough stream, the Minnie Mission
opens its sheltering arms to give it a perma
nent home. If a girl, and not so young as
this little one, but stiil an orphan, throe in
stitutions, the Episcopal Orphan’s Home,
the Catholic Orphanage and the City Asy
lum, are ready to receive these girls and
train them tor honest and industrious
womanhood. If a boy, we scareelv need to
name that great charity of Whitfield, Be
thesda,with its wise, healthy and wholesome
discipline for young boyhood. Youth of
both sexes, wo can safely sav, is well pro
vided for, but how about the middle age
and old age? If a worthy
jioor woman is in need the Widows's Home
provides her with a room, rent free: the In
dustrial Society furnishes both food, fuel,
and in special cases a home; the Needle
Woman’s Society supplies work and wages;
while for the aged and infirm, the cripple
and the decripul, Abram’s Home provides
a pleasant aud secure retreat from the in
firmities of advancing years. The Port
Society, with its Bethel and Sailore’ Home,
gives relief and protection to n special class,
the hapless sailors cast upon our shore. All
these institutions mitigate the rigors of
poverty and abate its sufferings. It is the
same with sickness and disease. Three city
physicians, a free infirmary, four hospitals
—three for white patients,‘one for colored—
with their tovps of eminent physicians,
wait by night und by day .upon the sick and
suffering.
As we survey all this charitable mechan
ism, and surveying it, thank God, into
whose ear enters the cry of the poor aud the
desolate, for the charitable disposition of our
people, past and present—we ask: Can Sa
vannah need anything else in the way of
helpful institutions? Are not the tears"and
helplessness of the orphan done away with!
Are not the growing infirmities of bid age
provided for ? Are not the sick and suffer
ing tended with gentle care, and disease
fought and conquered by the cost medical
skill? Is not white-robed charily, through
out our beautiful city,
—“hiding and concealing,
Busy with her hand In healing"—
all the ills that mental flash is heir to?
These questions must be answered in the
affirmative. Yet there is room for the in
stitution whoso title beads this paper. I
propose to argue for such an association on
the grounds: First, the need of just such an
occupation for many women left dependent
upon then - own exertion*. Secondly, the
need of just a class of trained nurses in our
city.
1. What is there for woman to do, who,
having known better days, deprived of
her natural protector and bread-winner?
Four things make up the category of her
possibilities—sewing, teaching, keeping
boarders, book agent. All of these possible
sources of employment being more than
filled, and the last is too disagreeable
at all odds to be filled by a lady.
In England there are a thousand occupations
open to women, where in this country there
is only one. Yet it is this very class, the
woman who has been reared a lady, whose
whole education has been to prepare her for
the lighter parts of the great social drama—
this class, I say, whose need is the greatest,
is the very class unprovided for in all our
charitable mechanisms. She cannot dig—to
beg she is undoubtedly ashamed I What re
mains for tier to do? Picture a good,
healthy, self-reliant young American girl,
wishing to utilize the brains and arms na
ture has given her to wring a reluctant sup
port out of lips. Where shall she turn ? I
think it an insult to her powers to toll that
hearty young damsel “to get, a book and
sell it!” Where, then, shall she
turn? I hope, before the year
rolls by, to a school for trained nurses,
such as exist by the score in France and
England, and are springing up in the large
cities of this country. It is a profession
eminently adapted for woman. She is fitted
for it by nature —no touch so gentle as hers, no
presence so refreshing to the sick ami suffer
ing. She need feel no degradation in this
calling, for it is the highest, next to her own
motherhood, that she can enter. She need
have no anxiety over her maintenance, the
dreaded wolf will not approach her door,
for the emolument* of this profession are al
ways large. She will be living in the line
of her lire, for she will be caring for the
sick and needy. By all means, then, let us
hasten the day when we ran open the doors
of such a school to the young women of our
city.
2. There i* another side to the question.
We have the greatest necessity every
day for just such a class of skilled and ex
jierieneed nurses. The few who are here are
confined to the hospitals, but they are not
enough to meet the demand. Who that has
had any experience in the sick room, as
friend, physician, or clergyman, does not re
call numberless cases where there was tho
most imperative demand for the nimble
fingers, the steady bond, the gentle step, the
cool judgment, the untiring vigilance of a
trained nurse? How often has the cry gone
un, from agonized li)>s of husband or wife,
“Is there no one that is trust
worthy whom I can get?” How many ex
baustea mothers might have been spared,
by the presence of some such reliable sulwti
tute? How much weariness saved, how
much suffering relieved, how many mis
takes avoided, nay, how many lives that
have dropped over the line through loving
ignorance, might have been rescued by
some such wise and gentle ministration"?
The need is great and crying. A hundred
sick-rooms the next thirty days will bear
witness to tho existence of a" demand for
just that class of persons whom it is the de
sign of this school to prepare, it is with
much pleasure, therefore, thit we learn that
a committee of prominent ladies have this
matter in hand und arc engaged in study
ing methods and gathering fluids prepara
tory to the opening of a training school for
nurses in this city In the fail.

This Is the only safe way to use a Strong Poi

thoroughly combined by patent process and
machinery, with material to help the very fine
powder to stick to the vines and entice the bug*
to eat it, and is also a fertilizer.
One Pound will go aa far as Ten Pounds of
