During that night alarmin symptoms developed and she gradual sank until 2 o'clock Saturday afterno when an attack of heart failu brought the end. Miss Nightingale celebrated h ninetieth birthday on May 12 last, which occasion King George sent h warm congratulations and from ever part of the British Empire ki thoughts were wafted to the vetera Queen of Nurses. Her birth too place at the Villa Columbia near Florence, in 1820, while her parents were travelling abroad, and they named her after the fair Italian city. Her earliest years were passed at Lea Hall, the ancestral home of the Night- ingales, until her father acquired the neighboring estate of Lea .Hurst, in Derbyshire, which was the favorite home of the heroine, and has become the Mecca of many pilgrims. Her, father also owned Embley Park, Hampshire, a fine old Elizabethan mansion, and between that and Lea Hurst Florence Nightingale's youth and early womanhood were passed. The difficulty of procuring . a suit- able nurse during an illness in her family drew Miss Nightingale's atten- tion to the need for training educated women to replace the "sairey Gamps"- and "Betsey Prigs." She devoted her- self to the study of the question, visit- ing hospitals at home and abroad. Later she took in hand the manage- ment of the Home for Sick Govern- esses in London, and was so engaged when the Crimean War broke out. The sufferings of the soldiers in the autumn of 1854, after the battle of the Alma, sent a thrill of indlgnaticn through Britain. The Government had decided at the outbreak of the war not to sena out women nurses as the class were so disreputable. The allies had their Sisters of Charity to attend to their sick, but the British Army was practically without nursing provision. In the dilemma Sidney Herbert the War Minister, bethought himself of his friend, Miss Nightin- gale, and wrote asking her to organ- ize and take out a band of nurses to the relief of the soldiere as he believed her to he the 'one woman inEnngland' who had the knowledge and training for the task. His letter crossed one from Florence Nightingaleoffering her services. She set out Augnst 21, 1854, and reached the great Barrick Hospital at Scutari with her friends, Mr and Mrs Braeebridge and a band of 38 nurses on November 4. Within two deys the huge barrick building which lacked everything that a, hospital should have, was filled to overflowing with the wounded from inkernman. they ht- came in by the. shipload from the dis• uzs- tont Crimea with wounds ,undressed, • limbs unset and their only clothes, lid stiff with gore..

She was ref the lady -in -chief accredited by the government. with the control of the er' nursing in all the hospitals, both on on the Bosphorus and in •the Crimea, he where our soldiers lay, and in the Y execution of her task she brought nd j some criticism upon her head, but she la thehe everlasting thanks of. the soldiers.

Moir, who had a set of duplicate keys, let himself out of his room, climbed through a transom from which be wrenched an iron bar and then liberated Taggart, with whom he had . been chummy for several months. Moir locked all the doors again and prevented the escape of a dozen or more notorious insane criminals con- fined in theeast building where he has been a prisoner. A large touring car, secreted in the grounds, picked the men up and hurried them away. The auto was heard in the grounds. during the night but . excited no sus- picions ae, it is not • unusual for oars to use the asylum roads, Dr. Englisb, the Superintendent, declared the men •undoukltedly had theassistance of influential outside help, and so well was the escape managed he doubts if the fugitives will be taken.
