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
ties 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

turesque career reads more like fiction
than 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
for the duties of police matron. Instill

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,
and toqk up nursing as her life work.
She received her first training In the
Manchester Royal Infirmary, In Man
chester, England, and aRerwards was
connected with the Northern Hospital
In Liverpool, and with hospitals of the
Went Derby Union. It was In the
Northern hospital that she received
some 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
sailors.
After remaining In this work for a
time the strain began to tell on Miss
fianderson, and she gave up her native
home, coining to America for the bene
fit of her health* Nenrly all of her

In this work at the time she accop
the offer of Chief of Police Jennings
to become police matron, nn entirely
new venture In her already long list of
experiences.
In a conversation thla week" with a
related some of her Interesting Ilfs his
tory. When the newspaper man In-
formed Miss Sanderson- he wanted to
» rite a story concerning her, she at
first demurred, but after much persua
sion was finally Induced to talk and
to pose for a photograph.
British Toughs Are Tougher.
Miss Sanderson states that from her
experience so far with police charac
ters In Atlanta, she 1* convinced they
are not as bad as the same class In
England.
"I had a great deal of experience
with police characters In the Northern
hospital In Liverpool,” said the ma
tron, “and I found these people much
worae than this type In this country,
and especially tn Atlanta. Fighting Is
one of the strong characteristics of the
low class females of England, and they
n * v * r 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
K to the hospital one night with her
»d cut. She had been tn'n fight with
another woman, and aa 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

She remarked: 'You help me out of
here and 1 will reward you fully. Tou
will never have to work In a hospital
ugmln. I will make you rich.'
“Whan she fell Into the hands of ths
dice shs flew Into it rase, and, trem-
illng with anger, .(lectured she would
'get me' If she ever, got out of prison.
Shs was tried and sentenced to 21

Trouble With Delirious Patients.
Miss Sanderson also told of two ex
citing experiences shs had with de
lirious patients. She said:
“The foreman of a Munrt of work
men who were decorating tho Queen's
looked like a ghost I approached him
and said. ‘Spats, what are you doing
her*.' He thought he was serving beer
and replied: 'Here, take this pint and
go on.' I soon persuaded him to return
to the hospital and ha was put In tha
straight jacket.
“In the West Derby Union Hospital
at Walton." continued the matron, "I
had charge of the Insane ward. In
there I had a patient who had the hal
lucination she was Queen Victoria. She

subjects and that she was ruling them.

fight to the finish. She died the next
morning.

Ship arcldcnts were brought to the
Northern hospital and I had .to attend
many, sailors. There was hardly a ship
to land that did not develop some kind
of accident. And aome of these sailors,
lot me tell you. were certainly tough.
A large percentage of the sailor coses
represented dirk stabH, this being a fa
vorite weapon with them. The practice
of using dirks became ao 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
la certain number of lashes. These
would be administered by a strong, abls
bodied man. and each lash would bring
the blood. The wounds would then be
washed out with salt watsr.
After this, there was a decrease In
the number of stabbing cases.
Threatened by Queen of Thieve*.
Mrs. Sanderson then related an Inci
dent of the Northern hoepltal, In which
■he played an Important part and which
resulted In her life being threatened
by a desperate woman, who operated
a fanoe for one of tha McK. it un.l
meet; during gangs of thlaves ever run

This woman, Elisabeth ..Crowder, tried
to brill. Miss Sanderson to get her
out of the hands of the police nnd was
lod by the nurse Into a'trap, she finally
being »ent.n,-..l to serve twenty-one
years at hard labor. It was at ths sue-
reaaul culmination of the trap that
she threatened to “fix" Mias Sanderson.

selves of, would be dropped through
these trap doors and washed out by
ths tlds. It was thought that human
bodies disappeared, by thla route, but
positive proof was never obtained.
‘The house was under suspicion by
the sleuths and ths gang finally fell
Into thslr hands through an effort on
the part of Elisabeth Crowder to sat

woman became Intoxicated one day,

Romanes of the Slums.
Another Incident with which Miss
Sanderson was connected developed a
pathetic story of ths slums and had a
romantic, novel-llks sequel. It dealt
with the Uvea of two little children,
a brother and sister, Robert, aged 10,
and Annie, aged 6, whose surname has
bean forgotten by Mlee Henderson.

'And thin Is where a reporter did

with a smile.
“The newspaper story brought nut
ths fact that the little outeasU had a

on ths Cheshire elds of the Mereev.
She read the story and came at once
tn the hospital, taking charge of thn
children. She took them to her »pl<-n-

had fallen Into poverty and had boon
ashamed to let their relatives know

Nursed ths Nobility.
Miss Sanderson did somo private
nursing In England, and during this
time attended members of tho nobili
ty. She also nursed for a long time
Mrs. I’egram, wife of a wealthy and In

On arrival at tha farm every man dl-
vested himself of coat and waistcoat
and prepared to enjoy himself to the
beat of hie ability. ■ . .
A box of marbles and a number of
quoits were brottgbt-out and the games
started. Rev. John E. White Is a noted
marble player. Rev. Junius Millard Is
