What are thirteen years to people with minds?

He died yesterday in his home in Lenox Avenue, Winfleld, L. I. Tm 1899 McCarthy was retired on ac- count of falling eyesight. It 4s estimated that Capt. McCarthy, In his singular service as official Cha- ron, ferried 35,000 to 40,000 bodies from the Morgue to Potter's Field. ‘Life does not hold enough of years in which we can repay a mother’s love,”’ Perhaps she is young and beautiful, running to cuddle up her little fallen lad and kiss his tears away. Perhaps she sits all quiet in the sunset, cuddling memories— memories of a little lad or girl, grown big, who hasn’t come home for a long, long time.

The recital of that inci- lent will furnish one of the most thrilling tales of sailor stolcism that has come from the sea in many a day. At seven o'clock on the evening of April 20 Captain Rind received a radio call from the freighter New fngland that a member of the crow was seriously injured by an explosion. Captain Rind replied that he was making full speed and would probably veach the freighter within twelvo hours, The New England at the time was several hundred miles off the English Coast and was heading for che Azores. Captain Rind told the 1500 passen- xérs that they might be a little lave in landing, as he had to 1 ake a de- tour. At 6.23, April 21, the America came abreast of the New England. A ‘eavy sea was running and, after considerable manoeuvring, O'Neal, the injured man, lashed to a sea stretcn- er, was hoisted aboard the America. During the period of transfering O'Neal to the America Captain Rind learned from the New England's navigator, named Pierce, that there were several other men badly scalded. ‘The freighter had no antiseptics or bandages. All that could be spared were given the Captain, who acted as Burgeon. Two surgeons as well as the ship's doctor worked over O'Neal for sev- eral hours. Parts of his feet were blown off, his abdomen perforated with seventeen wounds, and numer- ous burns covered his body. He told Capt. Rind that while Capt. Pierce was waiting for succor from the America he consented to Capt. Pierce's “sewing” him up by means of a big needle and sail twine. There was no adhesive tape aboard the New England, so the skipper used nd Sea Race Save Sailor’s Life ineviating tape to bind. up O'Neal's wounds, All this information was written by a woman passenger to a friend in this city. The writer said she called on O'Neal before sne left the ship and found him getting along nicely. Later, so the letter reads, O'Neal was reported to have more than a fighting chance for life, He is now in a hospital at Bremen. While O'Neal gives both skippers full credit for the saving of his life, Capt. Rind attributes to O'Neal's stoicism the credit for pulling him through. Not once did he utter a sound that would indicate the ex. cruciating agony he was suffering. His only reply to words of sympathy were, “Well, you know, It's all in a day's work.” O'Neal {s thirty-two years old. His home is at Mullins, S. C. He has been following the sea for the last ten years, eight of which have been in the U. 8.

The Florence Nightingale School for Nurses, a “memorial to the higher education of nurses for humanity and for France,” was dedicated. It will be under the di- rection of Dr. Anna Hamilton of New York. Representatives of the United States and the Allied Nations recalled the deeds of the heroine of the Crimean War and of the efforts of those who emulated her example In the great struggle in France and Belgium. Miss Mary Beard of Bos- ton, speaking on behalf of the nurses of America, recounted the services of Miss Nightingale in succoring the wounded Balaklay: ———— DIER STILL HOLDS RECORDS. District Attorney Banton's efforts to gain access to books of E. D. Dier & Co. for evidence of bucketing for a Grand Jury were frustrated again yes- terday when Dier was given permission to appeal to the Supreme Court on question of whether these books, now in the hands of the bankrupt brokerage firm's receiver, should be turned over to the District Attorney. Federal Judge Learned Hand signed an order to thia effect. NCHTNGALE AY} EXTRAFARE CSE Two Hospitals Observe Anniversary of Birth of Famous Nurse. ‘The anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale was celebrated to-day at U. 8. Veterans’ Hospital, No. 81, at Kingsbridge Road and Sedgwick Avenue, the Bronx, and at Montefiore Home for Crippled Chil- ‘ren, as National Hospital Day. At the Veterans’ Hospital there was a long athletic programme in which patients competed with hospital at- tendants, while other patients cheered from the side lines, There were dashes, potato races, shoe races (in which the contestants ran to a mixed heap of shoes, selected their own and put them on for the dash for the finish line), sack races, a tug of war and six wrestling bouts, with George Both- ner and Bull Montana as referees. A baseball game also was played by teams made up of patients and at- tendants, This afternoon the Hospital Chap- ter of the» Red Cross, which had charge of the day's events, assisted by a band, took 1650p atients of No. 81 and 200 from the Navy Hospital at New Rochelle in trucks and ambu- lances to the Polo Grounds to see the Yankees battle with Detroit. At the Montefiore Hospital the chil- dren planted their gardens for the year and were instructed in the cul- tivation by which they can best win the prizes to be given later in the year for the best flowers and vege- tables. There were special exercises in Public School No. 56 Annex, es- tablished for children who cannot get to the outside school buildings. One youngster recited a brief sketch of the life of Florence Nightingale. The haspital gave an exhibition this afternoon of the new electrical devices for restoring vitality to dormant mus- All visiting rules were sus- pended and there was a constant stream of children and adults to cheer the patients. | OPPENHEIM.CLLINS &C 34th Street—New York Specially Reduced for Saturday Exceptional Values { — 28.00 Graceful models of ‘heavy Black Canton Crepe, with Black Caracul collars or Fringe-bordered. 25.00 13.00 Taken from Regular Stock 150 Misses’ Silk Capes Fur-Trimmed and Fringed 250 Misses’ Dresses An Unusual Selection of the Newer Styles Regular Values to 50.00 Canton Crepe, Georgettes and Crepe de Chines, beaded and embroidered; also Novelty Sport Frocks. 200 Misses’ Tweed Suits Faultlessly Tailored Throughout Regular Values to 29.75 * Long straight-line coat models and short box effects, with Peter Pan and notched collars. Huff and Lee Defy Transit Board, but Insist Law is Not Broken. After they had continued for an- other day their defiance of the Tran- sit Commission, Slaughter W. Huff and Robert C. Lee, receivers of the Steinway lines of the New York and Queens County Rallroad Company, were arraigned before ‘Magistrate Conway in the Long Island City Court late yesterday afternoon on a charge of violating section 29 of the Public Service Commissions Law. The action was taken after Dis- trict Attorney Wallace had served no- tice on the receivers that if they did not discontinue by noon their order under which passengers are com- pelled to change cars and pay an extra fare at Woodside, a criminal proceeding would be instituted, The receivers,yaccompanted by Al- fred T. Davison, their counsel, told the Prosecutor they would not rescind the order, The District Attorney got in touch with the Transit Commission, which Sent Inspector Edward D. Hutchinson to make a formal complaint. This alleged that the receivers had put into effect new tariff schedules with- out filing them thirty days in advance with the Transit Commission in ac- cordance with law. ‘The receivers pleaded not guilty, and with the con- sent of the District Attorney Magis- trate Conway paroled them in the custody of their counsel until to-mor- row morning. ' Following his arraignment Mr. Huff sald the receivers are acting under an order of the Supreme Court and that the new tariffs had been filed not under section 20, but under an- cther section, which was promptly \pplicable.
