of the late Thomas Francis Burke, Continental Manager of the London &
North Western Railway, and until she became a nurse lived, talked and
thought of railways. In her present mission she had achieved extraordinary
success, raising 1n a few weeks over $250,000 by her oratory. After addres-

States, but later in the year hopes to visit the Canadian West wbere she will

work has been enthusiastically endorsed by both the French and British'
