All the excursionists were most en thusiastic about the trip and energetic In taking the tramps necessary to see all the points of Interest. The truly rustlo and primitive customs maintained by the hotel people as to surroundings added to the charm of the excursion. The baggage cart was drawn by an ox team, the buildings w ere of log and the contrasts to the modern appointments of the recently left conven tion headquarters were numerous. The first trip to the cave was made at night, then next morning there was a geological lecture on the banks of the beautiful Oreen river, luncheon In the cave, a negro band furnishing weird music and the whole vent picturesque and weird. As the keynote of the recent biennial Mrs. Cameron gave the two words, conser vation and service, explaining their sig nificance by addfcfC "conservation of home and child, or natTbnrfl recources, natural and artificial; conservation, of individual nerve force, time and energy together with the elimination of petty things which are not worth while; conservation of all these things not for selflxh purpose, but to make service for others possible.- This high altruistic aim was uppermost In all the sessions and conferences."

On May 12 Florence Nightingale was 90 years .of age. It cannot- be said that she celebrated her birthday, for she has al ways deprecated anything that could be construed as the exploitation of her per sonality and the service she had rendered to thousands of suffering soldiers. For her Influence has extended far beyond the field hospitals of the Crimea half a century ago, and she has done more than anyone els to alleviate the horrors of warfare by In suring skilled surgical attendance on battle fields throughout the world. Miss' Nightingale waa oo-heiress with her ' sister of a large fortune. She was given an education that was, at the be ginning of the Victorian era, considered ex traordinary. . At the age of 18. she was presented at court by her parents, and a brilliant social career opened - before her, but a - meeting with Elizabeth Fry led to Miss Nightingale' determination to devote her life to the Improvement of the hospital systems of Europe. When the Crimean war broke t out, -In 1M, there waa no one so well qualified to take command of the horrible chaos of the barrack hospital at Scutari. She offered her services, and her letter crossed In the mails the formal The westsld Women's Christian Temper ance union Is combining two public spirited projects In a series of entertainments which It is giving; Is providing a place for and endeavoring to Interest the young people of the community, and is also raising money to combat the Influence of a pool room In the district. At the meeting of the union, which is to be held Friday with Mra. Louis Frazell, ihtt Pierce street, the second project will be given attention. The union hopes soon to have funds for enter ing the legal arena against the pool room. The socials are given every month in a public hall, and the young people are Inter ested both in a ticket selling contest and also as assistants at the entertainment. The Omaha Women's Christian Temper ance union will meet at the Young Women's Christian association Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for the regular monthly business meeting. The executive board of the Omaha Woman's club will lunch at Happy Hollow Tuesday afternoon, a business session following. Mrs. Thomas Wolfe of David City and Mrs. Clinton Miller of Omaha were ad mitted to membership In the United States Daughters of 1812 at the regular meeting which was held Friday afternoon in the homo of Mrs. John F. Flack. An Interesting literary and musical pro gram followed the business seufiiuns. Mis. Herbert Gates, president, read a paper on the annual congress at Washington, I. C, which she attended in April. Mrs. Gates referred to the tact that a "real widow had been discovered in one of the southern mates, and said that since 'we live In an age of widows It might be well to explain that thla particular widow waa the relio of a soldier of the war of 1S12 and had been his fourth wife. Mrs. Gates spoke enter talnlngly of several United States Daugh ters of 1S12, members whom she met at thla congress. Conspicuous among them were Mrs. Kate Kearney Henry, president of the District of Columbia society; Mrs. Jane Jeskup Nicholson, daughter of Gen eral Jesaup, hero of the battle of Niagara; airs.

In one hospital It rose to 56. Eighty per cent of those whose limbs were amputated died of gangrene. The sick list amounted to over 13,000. In the Turkish barracks on the Boi-phorus there were two miles of sick beds. In a double file along the corridors. The rats ran over the wounds of the help less patients. Miss Nightingale . assembled a party of forty-one volunteer nurses. Including ten Catholic nuns and eight sisters of mercy of the Anglican church, and took them out to the Crimea. Upon her arrival ct Scutari the "Lady of the Lamp" went straightway to work to bring order out of confusion, lite out of the Jaws of death, heaven on earih from a veritable hell. The day after her arrival they brought In the wondsrful sur vivors of the charge of the light brigade at Balaklava; the next day came the wounded from the bloody field of inkermann. "Red tape" Insisted that all stores should be In spected ere being Issued to the troops. When she found that the Inspection would take three days. Miss Nightingale troke down the doors and commandeered the sup plies. 8h had soon reduced the death rate from 42 per cent 'to 2 per cent. The wounded and the dying followed her with their eyes In her progress from cot to cot as though she were an angel visitant. When, at the close of the war, a dinner was given the military and naval officers, those present voted for the one who services would longest be remembered by posterity. There was but one name on every slip of paper that of Florence Nightingale. Khe went back to Eng and under an as sumed name, and reached her home ere It was known that she had left Turkey. The queen sent for her and thanked her in per son at Balmoral. Eevery soldier in the army contributed a day's pay to a fund of t&AOOO for their benefactor, but she gave It all to found the Florence Nightingale Training School for Nurses, in Hanley street, london. The Geneva convention and the Red Cross society were the eventual outcome of her labors In the east. King Edward In 1007 conferred upon Miss Nightingale the order of nuMit, and also bestowed upon her, the title of Lady of Grace of St. John of Jerunalem. In 1LHJS she was granted the honorary freedom of the city of London. But such title and dig nities are but empty honors, after all, to a woman who has done more than all tangi ble or Intangible expressions of human gratitude can properly requite. Philadel phia Ledger.
