MESSAGE FROM THE KING. PUBLIC FUNERAL A NATIONAL DUTY. By Cable.—Presis Association. —Copyright Received August 16, 10 p.m. London, August 16. The King telegraphed to the late Mis« Nightingale's relatives his and the Queen's deep regret. "We practically owe," he said, "our present organisation of trained nurses to her striking example," ! The French papers pay generous tributes to the work and career of the late nurse.
The Telegraph says that Miss Nightingale's will asks for a quiet funeral, but opinion is growing that a public funeral! for her "our own equal of Jeannt : d'Arc"—is a national duty. THE' ARMY'S WISH. A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE. | London, August 15. The Army wishes Miss Nightingale to be buried in Westminster Abbey, but this is unlikely. John Finegan, who was her orderly in the Crimea, died to-flay.
