Mission A Corp of Light-Kesrted Nurses Who Find Tims to Do Eyery Child a Handy Turn. There has been marKed improvement In th condition of all the babies and children taken to the summer camp ott Tree View Farm Mondays The days are crowded with work for all the attendants anil the doctors, Francis A.Temra and T. J.

Russell, have not a moment unemployed. From the hour they wake In the morning until the small hour of the next they are on the go. making tne rounds of tne camp to see that their charges are having proper attention and that their symptoms continue favorable, or Jn the 1'harmacy preparing the medicines which are to supplement the wonderful pure air, the food, the enforced cleanliness and the freedom In all other directions which the camp affords. Money could not pay for the care the doc- tors give to these patients. Were the little ones born in the homes of the wealthy they cculd not have more skillful attention or surroundings better suited to their needs at this time.

There are no fine furnishings In the broad farm house at Tree View, nor in the tents, but there Is everything that is necessary to comfort and to the care of the children. Muce the camp was opened a week ago B'onday there have been numerous shipments of small articles overlooked In the preparation of the place for the reception of patients. These have added to the convenience of the place and lightened the work of the attendants. Now that all the tents are in position the house pi ice Is Indeed a camp, the white city of the children. Every tent is occupied and only by unhealthy over-crowding could more be added to the number of residents this wees.

Host of those now in camp will go to their homes In St. Louis next Monday when a new company will arrive and be located in their places. The one rigid rule of the camp Is cleanliness. This is exacted of mothers and children old enough to care for themselves, and employes are constantly at the work of keeping the grounds and bouse in good condition. If early one-third of the residents in camp are Infants in arras.

The7 constantly employ twenty nurses and mothers, and the very sick ones have the attention of two nurses each. The doctor's greatest task is the lntroduc. tlon of method into the care ana feeding of the sick children. Many of the mothers cannot realize the harm they do their children through over kindness. This week the task is easier than last, as the trained nurses from the Bethesda Foundling Home leaven the whole lump.

They are so methodical and yet so sympathetic, and their babies are so clean, yet so happy. It Is one of the prettiest sights of the camp to see the Bethesda babies laid out on the dry grass under the trees, each the master of a bottle filled to its complete Satisfaction. There Is not a cry in the party, only now and then a little fret when the tuba goes wandering away from the eager mouth. And how those ln-fnnts sleep! They hardly seem able to get enough of It; and If the nurses were not so very well tralnod they mlht sometimes be Inclined to wake their charges to make sure they could open their eyes and smile. The mothers of the other babies watch these nurses and learn from them.

Now and then a nurse in passing will stop to warn an Inexperienced mother against some mistake Ehe is falling into, offer some apparently Blight but really Important suggestion, and do it always in the gentle way that cannot fall to win. Miss Funk, the head nurse, has been 111 for several days, due to her hard work In preparing and caring for her charges. Her health has not been very good lor some weeks, and the last strain of work compelled her to relinquish work yesterday. She Is better to-day and only needs a few days rest to Insure recovery.

He then goes on tosay: He has an ambltioSo be Governor ot Missouri, and tke Are of that abltlon has not been quenched under the gloom of ifeat. He is as strong to-day, it not stronger, with masses of people throughout the State than he v6 befere the Dnmoaratlc convention last summe when he was defeated for the nomination by Ho Stone.

Receipts From Customs Duties and In-terral Kevenue Taxes Dally Increas ing Fank Paper uein? Keceived at the Treasury for Redemption Officials Ereathlnsr Easier The. Situation. Washington, D. July 12. Evidences of the passing of the financial crisis multiply.

Every bureau and division or the Treasury Department having to do with finances directly bears testimony that the crisis is over. Receipts from customs duties and from Internal revenue taxes are dally increasing. Petitions for the establishment of natlohal banks have begun to come In again. The first to be received for many days came in last Saturday and the required permission was granted yesterday. Some of the failed oanfcs have complied with the fair tut conservative terms prescribed by Comptroller Eckels as a condition precedent to re-openlng for business and have accordingly resumed with the sanction of the Comptroller.

A sign that an easement in the situation Is general is seen in the receipt or national bank and Government notes for redemption. During the flurry when the fear of a panic was before the officers of the banks few notes were received for redemption. Officers of banks were afraid to ship them lest there would be a run on the bank while they were In transit. It would have been awkward to have them on the road when scared depositors were howling for them. Now that the danger has passed, they are being sent in.

and a disreputable lot of raper currency they are worn, dirty and ragged, with pieces of 'tissue paper pasted on their obverse and reverse like court-plaster on the face of a fighter. They look sadly In need of retirement. In addition to these hopeful signs, the general balance in the Treasury is greater than at any time since the first ominous mutterings of the financial storm were heard. At the same time the available gold balance Is Increasing steadily at about the rate of $800,000 a week. excitement in wall street.

An Enthusiastic Meeting and Very Radical Speeches. Denver, July 12. Fully 1,000 delegates from all sections of the State, including such prominent citizens as Gov. Waite, Senator Wolcott. Congressmen Bell and Pence and President Merrick of the State Silver League, met late yesterday afternoon at Coliseum Hall to discuss the prospect of creating universal sentiment in favor of free and unlimited coinage of silver.

President Merrick, in calling the meeting to order, said We ask for Jn tlee, for our rights. We will acrept nothing less. Tbe pioneers of Colorado have bail their contracts violated. Petitions and remou-straneea have been unavailing. Tbe crime of 173 has gone on all those years unpunished.

We are here to demand an early and speedy settlement of tbe sliver question. The Committee on Organization was appointed at the 'close of his remarks and a recess until 'I o'clock was taken. An extremist tried to introduce a resolution after recess had been announced, and great excitement was created. It looked lUe a riot was about to begin, when ex-Congressman Relford took the floor and checked them by saying. Gentlemen The world Is watching Colorado at this moment.

Thomas, Colorado's Democratic National Committeeman, was made permanent chairman of the convention and he delivered these few remarks as he assumed the office: To preside over a convention like this, which knows no party end'alleices no creed save tbe welfare ot the people. Is an honor of wnich any man may be Justly proud, for to my mind the importance of this fathering, and tbe work it shall accoinpiisb, is beyond the horixoa of any human judgment. It Is to record the protest of a free people against the tendencies of tbe times, hich recognize the claims of a few against the prosperity aad freedom ef the many. We are face te face with a crisis which has bad bu few parallels in the bistorr of this country so deep, so broad and so far-reaching that it does not involve exaggeration to predict that it means another pbue of the old question of slavery over again. It Is a stagnation of business, a paralysis of commence.

It may be that the road of free coinage is long and weary. It may be beset with mauy difficulties and disadvantages, but it it the mournful pleasure of the stalwart people of the West and the South that they who have attempted to involve this country in ruin most, like Sampson, go down themselves beneath the rains of the limns.

byzokd TEMPESTUOUS V0YAGS. Perils Encountered by. the Yacht Queen Slab on the Atlantic. New York, July 12. The story of the tempestuous voyage of the racing yacht Queen Mib across the Atlantic Is a thrilling one.

The vessel arrived in port last Sunday and is now undergoing repairs at Tebo's shipyard. Mate Hansen's account of the perils encountered is borne ont by tbe appearance of the craft, her palntless bull, broken rails, the absence of her two lifeboats and general disorder. In the cabin broken doors, overturned furniture, displaced water tanks and wrecked nautical Instruments give evidence of the battle with wind and waves, which nearly ended the brilliant career of tbe boat that had carried off prize after prize in English waters. Tne once trim little yacht has been buffeted and battered until she looks as sick and sore as do her captain and crew, who ail complain of aches and pains as the result of their awful experience. The Queen Mab left England May 17 in command of Capt.

Adolph Schlosshauer and Mate Angus Hansen. For eleven days she went along wlthjfalr weather. On the morning of the 19th, however, she ran into a hurricane, which lasted twenty-four hours. The little yacht scudded along under a bare pole and weathered the storm bravely. Next day the hurricane abated and she began to meet tbe heavy seas which followed the windstorm.

It was the toughest experience I ever had in my life," salu Mate Hansen. The heavy furniture, tossed about by the storm, was wedeed into corners, from which it could not be extricated, leaving little room for visitors. 1 have seen many storms, but I never had to ride through them in a little cockle-shell like this, and they won't get me to do It again. "About 4 a. m.

on the 20th we were going along with onr jib set and the mainsail reefed. Lawson was at the tiller and I was forward. The captain was In the cabin. Suddenly and without any warning a tremendous wave struck our starboard side, lifting the boat on her beam ends. The boom was snapped off short and the two boats that were lashed to the deck aft were torn from their fastenings.

Lawson got caught in the boom gear. Anderson was hanging to the lee-rall, which was under water, and the steward had been swept off with one ot tbe boats, but had caught a rope's end. Poor Martin must have been strucK on the head by one of the boats, for we never saw him again. It seemed like an hour before the boat righted herself, but I guess it wasn't over two or three seconds. The tiller was banging around on all sides, and we were thrown around In tha trouxh of tbe sea.

"I crawled aft on ray hands and knees and cut tbe ropes that held Lawson down. Then we managed to pull the other two on board. What between the knocking about and the pounding oi the water, we were nearly dead. By that tune the captain had come on deck, and we set to work to rig a small Jib to keep the boat in tbe wind. Next day we rigged a gatl-sall on the mainmast ana a stay -foresail, and as the weather had become more favorable we managed to make shift until we were picked up and towed Into fct.

Condition of Charles Howard, Who Gambled Away a Fortune in St. Lonis.

A telegram from X-oulsvllle, Ky. states that Charles Howard, who for the past few years has been known as a high-roller, was found unconscious and almost starved In the vicinity of Six-Mile Island, near Louisville. Howard Is known here but not to a great extent. He was seen at tbe race track during the spring meeting, and the manner In which he handled his large roll of bills caused the "pikers" and "touts" to point him out as a dead game sport. Howard's father died not long ago and left him $20,000.

Of this money the young man has not a cent at present. He claims he blew It all In on horse races and bucket-shop speculations In St. Louis. Toung Howard is now in a hospital at Louisville and is said to be Improving. It Is stated that he had a couple of sporting characters with him who dropped out of his company when he went broke.

Howard Is supposed to have fallowed the "ponies" to Chicago and completed his financial wreck In that city. THE BAKDWELL LYNCHING. Mrs. Miller, Wife ot the Hanged, Will Bring Suit for Damages. Springfield, 111., July 12.

Anew phase of the Bardwell (Ky.) lynching Is developed by the suit to be instituted by Mrs. Bertie Miller, wife of the negro who was banged and burned by the mob last week. She will bring an action for in the Federal Court against the CUT Marshal and his bondsmen of Sites ton, tbe Sheriff of Carlisle County, bis bondsmen, and the members of his posse individually who aided in tbe capture of Miller, all citizens of Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky who participated in the affair, and the corporation of bardwell, in which it occurred. The suit will be commenced in the United States Court for the Southern District or Illinois. Mrs.

Miller has received 'assurance of bucking In the contest sufficient to encourage her to proceed. It is understood that tbe National Citizens' RlKhts Association, of which Judge Albion W. Tourgee is President, has interested itself in the case, and will aid in securing evidence against every one implicated. Numerous inquiries are said to have been directed to certain citizens here by officers of the association, and as It has both the means and the Inclination to go into the matter and get at the bottom of the facts rexarding the responsibility of the lynchlng.au agent ere this time is doubtless about the scene of the tragedy at work securing the material for the suits. Miller was captured and held at SlKeston, by the City Marshal without a warrant, lie was tatrn from Missouri Into Kentucky by a t-herlll's posse without a warrant, a requisition or any prwess of law.

He was taken to Bardwell by llic Sheriff of Carlisle County, when the latter had every means of knowing that it was certain to result In a lynching; and when the moo demanded the prisoner to kill him, the sheriff made no effort to protect hlm.fHundreds of citizens who participated in the mob will be made known by name, and many of them will be made de-fenaants.
