In Florence Nightingale is found that | rare combination of heart and brain which makes the ideal nurse. By means of her winsome personality and marked executive ability she dignified the pro- fession of nursing and raised it from the makeshift employment of the degraded or ignorant up into the realm of the fine | k arts, Named for the beautiful Italian city in | 1820, Florence | which she. was born in Nightingale passed much of her happy and charitable childhood at her father’s country seat at Leigh Hurst, Derbyshire. She was peculiarly fortunate in her for- bears. From her mother's father, Wil- liam Smith, the great philanthropist, she inherited her earnest desire to be one of the world's helpers, and from her father she derived that mental equipment and broadmindedness ambition into fact. Charming. stories are extant of her sympathetic - childhood In which the tific bandaging of dolls played an sorbing- part. Her studies of the guages and higher mathematics ab- lan~ devel- oped and strengthened her mind for the scientific: discipling in store for it, and her | facflity as a musteian and needle woman trained her delicate touch to a niecety. To § | % ! i | city funds.”:The letter says I T desire to:state that such commissions have | |'never been set aside by me. The position I | assume is that the inheritarice taxes are a part | -of the State funds and that as such I have by | jaw-the custody of the same untit paid out o | the State. i By the third section of article 1 of the new | charter the city has the same property rights | /it had before the adoption of that instrument, | | and if it be contended ‘that commissions do- nated to the Traasurer by the State under the inheritance tax law ara taken away from the ! Treasurer and donated to. the city and county, | then the second section:.of the charter, by | which it is-contended that this -donation of | State funds to the city and county is made, is in conflict with satd third sectiol, which ex- pressly limits the ‘property rights of the city | o what it possessed before the charter existed. As to this particular fund, I consider that I am_its custodian for the. State primarily and | ! that T must pay it wherever the law, including | 1 the charter, may direct. My wish is to have the ‘matter’ adjusted and the money will be | held intact until paid out by lawful authority. 1 beg to further state that the Assessor has | not informed me as to. what his intentions | | might ‘be in-relation to poll tax. commissions. | — e WATER SUPPLY OF THE STANDARD ’CDMPANY Prince Poniatowski Files Report With the Supervisors Concern- ing It. The Standard = Electric Company, through its president; Prince Poniatowski, has communicated with the Board of Su-| [ bervisors in: regard to its water ‘supply. | The Prince says: “We.have::a constant dally supply of not less than 75,000,000 gallons at our power house in County, where id water will pass our tail race at ['tion of 70 feet above sea level. |.amount will be increased during the year 1901 to-a. daily supply of 115,000,000 galions. | [ The above developments have been ren- | | dered necessary for the generating of elec: | | tric power, and no disposition has as yet | been made for the further use of this | water. s | “The estimdtes 6f cost for transmitting | that volume of water to the bay of San | Francisco, as found in the municipal re | ports of 1874-75, have been greatly lessened by the recent developments and the de- crease in cost of material as well as by modern methods 6f construction. A5 to the terms upon which we might agree to sell this water supply to the city of San Francisco, we beg to state that we are not prepared to make a definite propo- sition until first we have obtained from our own engineering corps complete and accurate data covering the conveyance of such an amount of water from our plant to the city limits, and second, until it has been demonstrated to us that a proper system of distributing reservoirs (indis- pensable to such an undertaking) can be secured.” ——e————————— GENERAL FUND IS NOW UNEXPECTEDLY ENRICHED A S I S S S City Treasurer Brooks Succeeds in Collecting $10,507.39 From the State for Commissions. The general fund of “the city was en- riched unexpectedly yesterday by the ad- dition of $10,507 33, which. represents the 6 per cent commissions.eained by the city for collecting the property taxes for 1899. Last year. the State Controller, on the ap- plication of Treasurer Truman, refused to allow. the commission on the sround that ‘counties of the first cla ere not entitled to it.. Thig accordingly excluded San Francisco,: Los Angefes. ‘and - Alameda from the henefits of the statute. Treasurer Brooks, in‘making his last settlement with the Stute, contended that no exception should be ~made, and his opinion was concurred in by the Attorney eneral, to whom the ‘question was re- ferred. 'The city was therefore allowed to retain the money and it will accord- ingly reduce = the prospective municipal deficit by more than $10,000. FALLS FROM A TRUCK AND IS FATALLY HURT Three-Year-0ld James Hurley Dies at the City Receiving Hospital. James Hurley, aged three years, fell frony a truck on whica he was stealing a ride’at Ninth and Clementina streets yes- terday afternoon and fractured his skull. He was removed to the Receiving Hos- pital, where he died at:10 o'clack night. G R chordlng- {0 a witness of the accident, the boy boarded the truck, and losing his balance fell off, his head striking against - the cobbiestones. 'f‘he driver ‘of the fruck was arrested, “hut as he was net to blame for the acci- dent he was at once released. st L eashil oo P Beringer Pupils’ Recital. The third semi-annual students’ recital last |'of the Beringer Conservatory .of Music took place last evening at Byron Mauzy Hall, . .About twenty pupils took part in the interesting programme.

The most difficult of all the provinces was._of course that of nursing, yet it is said that whesever there was the great- | est danger.or distress there the faithful head was ta be found silently superintend- |ing, never allowing a severe case to es- cape her personal treatment. To accom- | plish this she often stood twenty hours at a time, and after the doctors had retired she was to be seen making her nightly rounds through miles of suffering pa- tients, shading with her hand the lamp | that she carried, that it might not disturb ' of whom as she passed dow on their pillows with | passionate enthusiasm. Longfellow has commemorated this incident in his ex- quisite ““Santa Filomena' with such sym pathetic touch that no biographer of Flo ence Nightingale can refrain from quot |ing it: Lo! in that house of misery A lady with a lamp I ses Pass through the glimmering gloom, And flit from room to room.

Wherever she went.she studied the science of nurs- | ing; tending with her own hand some wotnded Arabs whom the family met while traveling in Egypt, studying for several months with Pastor Fliedner's Deaconesses at Kaiserwerth, working with the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul of Paris, serving altogether an appren; ticeship of nine years of close study of the alleviation of suffering be.ore the critical moment arrived that was to test! her life work. Meanwhile she had great- v impaired her health by working night and day thres years, putting the Harle: treet Sanitarium upon a sound financial and scientific footing, thus dem- onstrating _indisputably that self-sacri- ficing helpfulness was the first law of her eing. While recruiting from the bodily ex- haustion incident to_this work she shared in the horror agitating all England, caused by the terrible pictures of suffer- ing which William H. Russeil sent to the London Times from the Crimea. In these letters he demonstrated so clearly that the unsanitary condition of the Bri ish army killing off more, men than the deadly tles of the Crimea that England became panic-stricken over the mortality list. yet seemed helpless to cur- tail it. In the hurry and enthusiasm at the outbreak of the Crimean war (I1854) Great Britain had dispatched shiploads of improperly provided with food or clothing for the severe Russian climate Starvation, cholera and agonizing suffer- ing were the results. But two persons in England seenred to retain their compo- sure amid the general consternation— Lord Herbert, Minister of War, and Flo; ence Nightingale. The former wrote a letter to his friend ss . Nightingale. stating that he coasidered her the only person in Great Britain capable of bring- ing order out of confusion, and imploring her to oreanize direct the reform of the military hos| 1>, and this letter was crossed by one from Miss Nightingale, volunteering to plac. her strength ane ability at the service of lher nation. . Good trained nurses were almost un- known quanuties in those days, vet, noth- ing daunted, Florence Nightingale sailed from England with thirty of the best nurses that she could muster within a week from her letter of volunteer. Let- ters immediately appeared in the daily pa- pers inquiring who this patriot was, and when it became known that she was not the hospital matron of the old regime, but a_young, delicate and singularly accom- plished woman who was about to try to lessen the hideousness of war, popular ratitude and enthusiasm became intense. vhen her mission became an accom- plished fact and it was found that her quiet good sense was able to overcome the opular prejudice against womanly srom nence, to conciliate the general disa proval of medical and military officials; | to train her staff into the knowledge that mere kind-heartedness was not the only requisite for intelligent nursing, and to keep all around her up to the very highest standards, the national support became immediate and practical. So sympathetic that her grateful patients declared their recovery to be due to the compassion with whieh ghe dressed their ghastly wounds. she nevertheless understood so well the art of tempering her sympathy with meas- ures for ultimate ,gain that outsiders sometimes lost sight of her tenderness in her phenomenal executive energy. Overcaming professional jealousy b ting her nurses an example of obedience to &e surgeons, she set herself to the task of cleansing the Augean hospitals, con- taining over 4000 patients. These barrack hospitals at Scutari, which had been set- loaned to the British Government by the Sultan of Turkey, were 100 feet abave the Bosphorus. The day before the arrival of the staff of nurses the wounded from Bal- aclava had been landed; packed in the overcrowded transports, their wounds had not been dressed for five days, and cholera and fever were reaping their fearful har- vest. The poor men outside in the trenches half-perished_with cold -and starvation were faring far better than mid sufferers in the tainted wards of the disofdered hos- itals.
