THE NOBLE RED CROSS ARMY.

In the hour of public calamity or national disaster thn noble workers of the Bed Cross association stand out silhouetted in bold relief against the clouds of suffering by war, fire, flood, or famine. They are just now before the public eye laboring without reet for the homeless Johnstown sufferers, and the name of Clara»Barton, the leading spirit of the colony of nurses encamped-in the mists of the Conemaugh valley, is worshipqfl by the afflicted community and welcomed like an angel sent from heaven. The story of the life of Clara Barton, soys the New York World, and the noble work of the Rad^ Cross is a staggering blow to the whine of the pessimist who glories in the fnulitjiee and depravity of human nature.

Thoee who have chanced to be at hand while the Red Cross nurses were ministering to the wounded or dying on a battlefied, or who were held in quarantine during the recent yellow fever epidemic at Jacksonville, Fla., will need no recounting of the work of the society to tell them how the nurses noiselessly perform their errands of mercy. The Johnstown sufferers are now, happily, enjoying the attention of the young women of the Red Cross. Miss Barton, the president, is in charge and directs the movements of her assistants from her tent, where she keeps a stenographer busy with her correspondence from all parts of the country. In all sections of Europe Miss Barton's ministering hand has been felt.

This woman, of whom Sumner once wrote: "She has the talent of a statesman, the command of a general, and the heart and hand of a woman," recognized that, from our geographical position and isolation we are far lees liable to the disturbances of war than the nations of Europe, and also that no country is more subject to overpowering natural calamities, plagues, famine, fire, flood, drought, and disastrous storms than are we. Seldom a year passee that the nation is not shaken from sea to sea by the shock of Bome sudden horror, in alleviation of which men thrust their hands into their pockets and fling money to they know not whom, to be sent they know not where or how, and women in their eagerness and sympathy^ beg in the streets and rush into fairs, working day and night, to the neglect of other duties and the peril of their health in the future, to obtain money for Buffering humanity. Often the generosity, of the people provides too abundantly, and the funds, if left in dishonest hands, are never heard of, and if in honest ones are flung recklessly to the people, even after their wants are supplied.

Miss Barton's clear mind formulated this principle: Let the Red Cross of America be authorized to provide for the relief of national calamities let it be a medium through which funds can be sent to sufferers in disasters too great to be relieved by local measures and by people trained to know the needs and to understand the alleviation of great suffering. As Miss Barton expresses it: "Let it be a calamity fire engine, always fired up and ready, and when the note of need sounds the collars drop on the horses' necks and away they flj[ to the rescue. When once the fire is out, though, the big engine hastens home, not wasting time to sprinkle the streets or clear away the rubbish." To the wisdom of her theory the sufferers of the Mississippi floods, of the Michigan firee, and the Texas drought can testify. Ready on the instant, with food, clothiBg, and money, $175,000 being spent in four months in the Mississippi valley quick to comprehend the needs and know the relief required, she wastes no time, but flies to tbe rescue, and so quickly and quietly accomplishes her mission and is gone that comparatively few people know aught of the society she represents.

This, then, is what the Red Cross means. It is not an order of knighthood, not a commandery,not a secret society but the powerful, peaceful sign, and the reducing to practical usefulness of one of the broadest and most needed philanthropies the world has|ever known—the symbol of a divine humanity destined to bring uniyersal peace.

And what has Clara Barton received for all this? In her little jewel box there gleams a royal jewel, an amethyst cut in the form of a pansy, the gift of the grand duohess of Baden, her personal and beloved friend the jewel of the American Red Cross, the Servian decoration of the Red Cross, presented by Queen Natalie the gold cross of remembrance, presented by the grand duke and duchess of Baden a Red Cross medal,the gift of the queen of Italy, and the Iron Cross of merit, presented by the emperor and empress of Germany. That is all, save the love, gratitude and veneration of the soldiers and sufferers of two continents.

But the noble association does not begin and end in America alone. The Red Cross is aconfeeeration of relief societies in different countries, acting under the Geneva convention, whose aim is to ameliorate the condition of wounded soldiers in the armies in campaign on land or sea. The idea of such a society was conceived in the mind of M. Henri Durant, a Swiss gentleman, who saw the battle of Solferino and became impressed with the need of more efficient and extended means for ameliorating the condition consequent upon war. Once each year in the city of Geneva is held a meeting of the Society of Public Utility, corsponding to our Saratoga meeting of

Society of Social Science, and to M. Gustav Moynier, president of that society, was presented M. Durant's theories. The latter gentleman also published a little book called "A Souvenir of Salferino," wherein he depicted the touching incidents and horible realities of warfare.

The battle was fresh in the minds of the people, the book was well written, waB extensively read, translated into different languages and awakened the interest and enthusiasm of the people. Mr. Moynier called a meeting of his society for discussion of this question, which resulted in their appointing a convention in Geneva of delegates from every civilized nation to oonsider this subject and arrange some international pact or treaty compatible with the articles of war belonging to the several countries. An invitation was extended to Mr. Seward to send representatives from the United States, but, surrounded with the realities of a threatened constitution and the horrors of a bitter civil war, he had little time to consider Utopian conventions for the advancement of humanity.

However, Mr. Charles Bowler, an American banker of France, and Mr. Fogg, United States Minister to Switzerland, constituted themselves delegates to this convention, which was held the 26th of October, 1864, and which, after a deliberation of four days, resulted in the arrangement of a set of resolutions whereby the "ambulance and military hospital in battle shall be considered neutral, and as such shall be protected persons employed in hospitals or ambulanoes, surgeons, chaplains, servants, eta, shall be also neutral, and even after occupation of the field by the enemy

.Ikk.l

-a

mmf continue to fulfill thai* duties and not be retained as prisoners inhabitants of the oonntry shall be allowed to bring help in to the relief of friend and foe alike houass opened tor the reception of the wounded shall be protected and relieved from the quartering of troops oommander-in-cheifi shall return wonnded soldiers to the outposta of the enemy if desired, and send back all disabled soldiers, when recovered, to their own country, and the evacuating troope of a field shall not be fired upon while in retreat" This treaty was signed by twelve nationa in leas than four months, and now all civilized governments (thirty-two incumber) adhere to its regulations.

It was deemed expedient to adopt a universal badge, which sign shall be recognized by every nation, and in honor of the Swiss republic, where the convention assembled, and whose banner is a cross of white upon a scarlet ground, was adopted the emblem of red and white with colors reversed, a cross of scarlet upon a ground of snow. Something of its potency is illustrated in the fact that if the general or any offioar or soldier of a victorious army laya violent hands upon the humblest hospital servant of the enemy, or little boy who carries watsr to his sick lieutenant's tent wearing the Scarlet Cross, he has broken an international treaty and at the risk of his hsad.

The whole of Europe is marshaled under the banner of the Red Cross, and wherever the din of war is heard is planted the white banner that bears the blessed sign of relief. The ensign waves in Siberia, on the Chineee frontier, in Algeria, Egypt, and Oceanica.

The Society of Utility was made the international committee of the Red Cross, with M. Moynier as president, a wealthy philanthropist of unlimited means, great earnestness of purpose, Bingleness of object and strength and integrity of character, devoting his entire life to the interests of the society he represents. The first act of a country after giving its adhesion to the treaty is the establishment of a national society to act in accordance with its provisions. The national societies form others as associate or auxiliary societies, the purpose of their members being largely to perfect themselves in every branch of humanitarian work connected with the prevention or relief of the sufferings contingent upon war. Their second object and also a very important one is the raising of funds for the sudden needs of the society, and a yearly fee is exacted of each member. "Get rich in any legitimate way you can, for we can do nothing without money," says Miss Barton. "But never beg one dolIar.^The sorriest sight I know is a beggar giving alms. I never begged a penny in my life for any object, and if you cannot give youraelf let those give who have the meana" The societiee are usually composed of earnest, benevolent people, whose ready offerings, together with.the voluntary contributions from interested people, furnish the funds requisite. Besides the collection of funds, necessary material is collected for sanitary service, clothing is made, bandages, lint, etc., prepared, practical improvements and inventions in all sanitary-re-lief apparatus are made and perfected, and training schools for nurses established, whose members upon graduation seek employment, always with the understanding that with the first note of war they go to the front.

WILL THK SCALES BE SIGNED 1

Uneasiness Concerning Iron-Workers' Wages—Carnagie Wants a Reduction.

PITTSBURG, June 28.—The iron-work-ers will not have as plain sailing this year as was expected. There area number of hitches in the scale, notwithstanding the fact that it is practically the same as last year.

The new scale contains no demand for an advance, and in some departments a material reduction is conceded. It does not seem to be satisfactory to the manufacturers, however. The scale year expires to-morrow and none of them has as yet signed. Of course there is time to sign before a strike is declared, as July and August are the months when annual repairs are made.

Amalgamated association officials state that no scale has been signed, but that they do not believe there will be any trouble. One of the largest manufacturers in this section said. "The scale will not be signed, and you can put that down in large, black letters."

The stand taken by Carnegie, Phipps, Company, for a reduction in wages at their mills, seems to be the cause of the trouble. A manufacturer said on this phaseof the subject: "The price of platemill rolling has been, or is now, 80 oents a ton, but a reduction has been made to 72 cents. The Carnegies are paying lees than this. We are tired of paying more than other firms, and prefer to keep our works idle unless the workers can suggest better terms. A roller in the plate mills is now making as high as $12,000 a year, and that is too much."

Amalgamated officials are not worried over the matter, and believe that all the soales will be signed.

The La Crosse Murderous Burglar.

LACKOSSE, Wis., June 28.—Thus far the police have been unsuccessful in their efforts to establish the identity of the murderous burglar who entered the house of John Weber yeBterday morning and BO horribly cut Lena, one of his daughters. Of the number of persons who were arrested on suspicion ten have been held for examination, which will be held to-morrow. Among thoee arrested is one rough-looking fellow on whom were found a blood-stained knife and a handkerchief, which had the appearance of being used in wiping the bloody blade. The injured girl still lingers between life and death, and the doctors state that her death is only a queetion of a few hours. The excitement is as great as yesterday, and lynohing is freely talked of on all sides.

Collision* at Sea.

NEWPORT, R. I. June 28.—Thesteamers Bay Queen and Eolus were in collision shortly before 11 o'clock this morning, just above Gould island. The upper works of both vessels were considerably damaged but no one was injured. A heavy fog prevailed.

YONKERS, N. Y., June 28.—This morning Cyrus W. Field's steam yacht Elida, collided with the ferry boat, Alpine, off Yonkers. The Elida's masts were knocked off. Jay Gould's yact Atalanta and several other yaonts narrowly escaped being run into. Mr. Field was on board at the time on his way to New York. No one was hurt. It is difficult to say who is to blame. The river was quite crowded just at that time.

BUOOBBS,

socially and finantitatty. The oocssion waa a novelty, inasmuch ss the men an not aocuatomed to take all of the affairs ot an entertainment into their ownhanda without even oonaulting with the ladiaa. The affair last evening was originated by the men at the aoath part of the city, and waa planned solely them, lbs original idea waa that the men ahonld cook everything, but the ladiaa had everything topay tunry in the kitchens, and that it would have taken a month for the men to have propped the many excellent articles that adorned the tables and tickled the palates of their guests last night. Because of this and many other insurmountable obstaolea their wives, daughters and sisters prepared the greater part of the refreshments. The hall in the park was converted into a kitchen, din-ing-room, ioe cream parlor, assemblyroom and ooncert hall. The room waa filled and a large- number occupied the seata in front of the hall. The tables were decorated with fjpwers and in the decoration was an original feature, the suggeetion of Mr. George Hebb. Thi^waa a wreath of smilax on each table, extending around and removed toward the center about twelve inches from the outer edge of the table. The tables of both the dining-room and ioe-ore%m department were filled during almoet an of the evening and the waiters were #ceedingly expeditious and aooomiMlating. T' waiters were MesuW W, Way, G. H. Hughes, TTeorge D. N. Taylor, C. T. Ball, W. H. My T. W. Werkman, Jay Cumminge, G. Carol 1, Alvin Higgins, and some smaller boys, who moved so rapidly that it was impossible to get their names. Each waiter was attired in white apron and white coat. A notice was posted at the entrance to the kitchen, as follows: "Any one eating longer than fifteen minutes or more than ten rolls will be fined $10 and costs." Mr. John Ross, assisted by Messrs. W. H. Stickle, James Heap, M. E. Lewis and Judge Rhoads, attended to the financial part of the entertainment, and, occasionly, performed the duties of ushers. Mr. John Steinman waa the Isaac at the well, i. e., superintendent of the lemonade stand. In the kitchen everything was in perfect order, but no one was allowed to enter except the waiters. An EXPRESS man slipped in on the quiet and found the air very blue, and heard slight mutterings that did. not accord with the pleasant voices of the waiters when in the dining-room. The Mendelssohn quartette Bang some very pretty songs and the Euterpian quintette furnished good music with stringed instruments. Every one seemed to be enjoying the evening perfectly, and the novel kind of entertainment was so successful that repetitions will always be pleasant. The proceeds will be appropriated to the Moffatt street-church.

GEKONIXO'S RETDlUi

The Return of the Apache and His Followers to Arizona.

NEW YORK, June 28.—A good deal of misapprehension seems to exist regarding the reported return of Geronimo and his Apache followags to the.Indian reservation in Arizona. Vlspatches from Tucson state that the entire press and people of the territory are loud in their opposition to the movement. The truth is that no Buch proposition ever has been advanced. Several weeks ago General Howard, who is interested in the subject of elevating and civilizing the Indians, wrote to General Miles, requesting the services of Captain Pierce, of the First infantry, now on duty at the Benicia arsenal, in removing the Apaches from their present quarters, at Ft. Pickens, Ala., to a more suitable location. Captain Pierce'B services were desired because of his wide familiarity with Apache custom and language.

It never was designed to return them to Arizona, or even permit them to cross the Mississippi river. Secretary Proctor fell in quite readily with General Howard's proposition, and several days ago Captain John Bourke, of the army, and Professor Painter, of the Indian rights commission of Boston, started South with a view of finding a home for the Apaches. The band, which has been in captivity three years, numbers in all about three hundred and eighty souls. It is designed to purchase 10,000 acres for their accommodation, and place them upon it.

Two Young Men Who Eloped.

CHICAGO, June 28.—A dispatch from Omaha, Neb., says: "Yesterday morning S. C. Morgan, cashier of the state bank of Sidney, was found lying in bed with the top of his head blown off and a 45caliber revolver in

hiB

hand. The bank,

it is said, was not making money. Six years ago Morgan eloped with the daughter of H.W. Yates, president ot the Nebraska national bank of Omaha. He was the son of a wholesale groceryman, and is a young man of excellent habits, but the lady's parents opposed the union. On the same day Frank Johnson eloped with the daughter of Byron ed, air Omaha millionaire, and married her. Johnson and Morgan shortly afterward started the State Bank of Sidney, of which Johnson is now president."

Whisky for Kansas People.

CHICAGO, June 28.—A dispatch from Leavenworth, Kas., says: Some days ago the city marshal seized forty-three packages from the American express company that contained beer and whisky addressed to private residences in the city. The stuff wss taken from the express company's office before an attempt had been made to deliver it, and yesterday notice wss given that all four express mpanies doing business in the city would bring suit for 950,000 each against the city marshal and polios commissioners for goods that had been confiscated at various times by thsm.

JACUSI8TAKB A VALLKY-

The Lackawanna Region to Appropriated by Musical FMt,

NEW YORK, Juns 28.—The Times' Scranton, Pa^ special says: Millions of musical locusts have appeared in the Lackawanna valley within a few daya. They are big, noisy fellows, larg»-«yed and heavy, and with wings on which the letter "w" is clearly defined. In the town of Archbald, a few miles north of Scranton, these wiajgH: visitors have been most numerous, ana the people are out at an unusually early hour every morning trying to drive them away from the gardens, for which they show special fondness.

The locuts begin their droning song early in the day. It is a melancholy effort and aufficiently noisy and monotonous to disturb the morning napof a person who is in any way disposed to be nervous. There is no 1st up in this monotonous music, and local naturalists are puzzled to know whether it is a vocal, instrumental, or merely acrobatic achievement.

A few days ago dead locuBts were so numerous on the streets of Archbald that they could be scooped by the shovelful, and live ones almost hid the leaves of the fruit trees from sight. Owing to the-fear that they might kill the trees, the people made energetic war upon them and large numbers of the ominous sects perished. Some of James Gillion's goslings, which are rather ..reen" just yet, felt that they had easy _irey in the visitors, and they joined in $he war of extermination in a practical way. But their folly was the death of them.

Within a few minutes three promising goslings were choked dead by their efforts to introduce the three vigorous locusts into their "little insides." This rather startled the proprietor, who heartily wished "bad luck to the locusts," and prevented the rest of his gosli gjfrom choking themselves by driving them away. The locusts have not damaged any of the trees in the gardens, so far as can be ascertained, but in the neighboring woods they have picked all the oak trees bare. When the locusts first appeared it was noticed the sparrows were quick to attack them, and many interesting scenes were witnessed.

The hardy sparrows feasted freely on the big-eyed invaders, but the fact that they let them alone in a few days showed that the food did not agree with them. The sparrow soon felt that he might as well swallow a small section of barbed wire fence, as a locust, and he rarely tackles that many legged diet now.

CHICAGO, June 28.—A special from Racine, Wis., says: Racine is to have a regular old-fashioned Puritan Sunday. The chief of police, acting under instructions from the mayor, has notified the proprietors of every cigar store, soda fountain, ice cream stand and confectionery shop to close Sunday. It was deemed necessary to close cigar stores and temperance saloons because all saloons claimed the right to keep open and sell cigars and temperance drinks as long as others were accorded that privilege.

While the sheriff was at the water tank, Baldwin rose in his seat, striking all around him with bis manacled hands. He reached the platform and jumped off. No trace of him has yet been found.

One of the liaest Jewish synagogues in the United States may be seen at the corner of Fifth avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-Fifth street. It is a noble piece of architecture, and its ivyolad walls are of the richeet green at this time of the year. It was built for an Episcopal Church, the Church of the Holy Trinity, the pastor of which has raised a more commodius place of worship in Lsnox avenue.

New York Sun: Dairy Commissioner Van Valkenbergh has been spsaking of the milk supply of this city, a considerable portion of which, he says, is unwholesome, though he is not prepared to affirm that 20 per cent, of the cows in suburban dairy stables are diseased. He says that there are 1,500,000 milch COWB in this state, kept on nearly two hundred thousand farms, and the work ot the dairy commissioner is very hard.

New York Sun: There is every prospect that the Washington memorial arch fund committee will procure the sum ot §50,000 that is desired before the Fourth of July. When that amount of cash is in hand the order for the arch will be given. We need not urge people to send in their subscriptions, for they are doing BO every day, but a few large checks would be very serviceable to the committee at thiB time.

The Harlem athletes of the Young Men's Christian association are boasting of the triumph of the Harlem colors of garnet and white in the recent games at the Harlem river and One Hundred and Fiftieth street. They ueem to be in danger of losing their humility when they tell that the Harlem young christians won every event, with the exception of the hurdle race, and thus humiliated their brethren who live below Central park.

New York Sun: The Italian barbers are crowding out their German rivals in several quarters of this city. The majority of tne Italians have established a low scale of prices—10 cents, or even a nickel, for shaving, and 15 or 20 cents for hair cutting. Some of them are expert operators, having learned their trade in Italy, but others have taken up the business without any training in the performance of its delicate duties.

New studies are introduced, from time to time, into the curriculum of educational institutions. In a circular issued by a successful private school up town, it is announced that, beside the course of study in the ordinary branches, "instructions will be given in describing and classifying plante," and the following words are indicative of the range of teaching in this line: "Plants—Curious features of their growth and development noted a study of tree blossoms and common flowers."

One of the veterans of Wall street, James A. Cowing, now verging upon 80 years of age, may be occasionally seen in these days near the old office in which he carried on business, and in which notable operators like Jay Gould were among his customers long years ago. He moves about lightly and obssrvahtly for a man of his years, but refrains from taking any part in the operations of the street in which he was once a notable figure. The venerable broker and operator is an uncle to Judge Cowing. 4

Secretary Bsn Tracy finds it hard to tear himself away from Brooklyn, and very often leaves Wsshington to visit his old homs in the City of Churches. His bearded face and stalwart frame are well known to Brooklynitee, and as he strides through the streets he sees people nodding to him right and left in almost every block. He looks stern, and is usually reticent, but he is a favorite among the yonng folks of the day, whose fun he is fond of enjoying. As an old newspaper man .he is always on the alert.

The 'Fulton street horse car line in Brooklyn has forty-six new open cars, shining with brass trimmings and natural oiled wood. The directors of the line are very careful lest the can should be regularly used at night, though it is the only hoiss car line in Brooklyn which doss not run open cars at night. Night workers who go to Brooklyn from offices in New York, and are patrons of the Fulton street line have not complained until recently. Recently the company haa put on the new_ can at night when there was a jolly big crowd to be brought down town from Washington park, and now the night workers are kicking.
