WASHINGTON , Nov. 11. The revenue of
the Postofflco department for the year ending
June 30 , 1891 , shows a falling off , wlillo the
expenditures have Increased. The deficiency
tor tha fiscal year of 1893 was $5,086,763 ,
vhlle the deficiency for 189 * Is $9,243,935.
The decrease ot receipts was $816,434. and
the Increase of expsndltures $3,260,409. The
total expenditures for 1894 are $84,214,414 , and
rccotptn $75,080,479. The department suf
fered losses amounting to $63,882 by out
standing bad debts and compromises with
debtors. The difference will bo made up by
appropriations. Some of the facts regarding
the stamps Issued , taken from the report
of the third assistant postmaster general , are
Interesting. There were- Issued during the
time the order was In force 2.014,233,100 Col
umbian stamps ; of these 1,4C4CSS,750 wcro
E-cent stamps , and 449,195,550 1-cent stamps.
The use of Columbian stamps necessitated
n change In the color ot the special delivery
etamps , as there was R great deal of con
fusion over the similarity. A review of the
transfer of stamp printing from the American
Hank Note company to the Bureau of Engrav
ing U made , and It is declared that , notWithstanding -
Withstanding the complaints made ot
the character of the stamps Issued
by the bureau , It has been demon
strated that there will be a saving to the
government of $342,261 for one year , and
(1,443,156 for four years.
It Is now claimed at the department that
the faults In the new stampi complained of
Will bo remedied and that the new Issue will
pe ns good as those furnished by the Ameri
can Bank Note company. The third as
sistant postmaster general criticises the act
Of July 16 , 1894 , which allowed admission to
the malls as second class matter publica
tions of benevolent and charitable assocla-
lens , mostly secret society publications. Ho
iaya that since that act forty-six publications
icretoforo excluded have been admitted to
; he malls , whose annual aggregate circulation
s about 6,400,000 copies. The estimated
ireight of this matter Is about 610.000 pounds ,
le says : "Many of these publications are
[ HIrely advertising sheets or circulars , but as
they conform to the law they cannot be cx-
tluded. "
There has been a falling off In registered
letters during the year 1894 of 510,856 , the
total pieces registered amounting to 15,050-
f54. There have been 5,920 complaints of
cases ot registered packages lost during the
> 'ear , of which 4,269 were investigated by the
chief Inspector and 1,657 are still outstanding.
Of those Investigated there was no loss In
E.443 and loss in 1,82(1. ( with an actual loss ,
after being traced , of 923.
DETAILED WORK OF THE OFFICE.
First Assistant Postmaster General Frank
Jones has submitted his annual report to the
postmaster general. It Is a review of the
work under his charge for the year ending
Juno 30 , 1894 , and contains hla recommenda
tions for the Improvement ot the service.
Mr. Jones recommends legislation to pro
tect the postmarking stamp in use at post-
offices , as the stamp Is now used for unlawful
purposes. lie reviews his recommendation
for legislation to prevent the boycotting of
postmasters by mailing of letters at places
other than the office , which results In reduc
ing the salary of the postmaster boycotted.
Ho calls especial attention to the misuse of
the franking , privilege.
Ho says : "There setms to bo some mis
apprehension among members of congress as
to the scope of the franking privilege , which
lias resulted. In soraa postmasters declining
to send speeches or .other matter presented
tor mailing' , and this department has been
called upon to give special Instructions In
Biich matters. Instead ot the name being
written or placed on the envelopes by the
hand stamp , It has been In some Instances
improperly printed thereon. The speeches
thereon contained have berne the advertise
ment of the printer , which formed no part
of the Congressional Record , and therefore
are subject to postage as third class mat
ter. In addition to this some of the pack
ages sent by mall under the frank of the
member have been found after delivery to
contain printed matter outside of the Con
gressional Record , and public documents are
therefore not frankable under the laws above
quoted.
"In the literature being sent under seal ,
the department is , of course , unable to detect
violations. There Is no penalty attached to
the misuse ot the franking privilege. hence <
no action can bo taken by me further than to
call the attention of the members to the
matter.
BURDEN OF THE FRANK.
"As this department Is required to carry
without 1 cent of revenue hundreds ot tons
ot franked matter , additional limitations
should be placed on the use ot the franker
or penalty of some kind Imposed for Its un
lawful use , and I respectfully suggest that
the attention ot congress be called to this
matter for such action as It should deem
proper. "
Mr. Jones recommends legislation allow
ing the suspension without pay , not to ex
ceed ten days , of employes violating the
postal rules ; also that disabled employes maybe
bo granted leaves of absence with continued
pay ; also some changes In the classification
ot salaries which were heretofore recom
mended. The report gives fletalls of the
different divisions of the first assistant's of
fice. U Is shown by the salary and allow
ance division that there arc 149 first-class
offices , 466 second-class and 2,587 third-class.
The aggregate salaries ot these was $5,719-
009. and aggregate receipts , $53,685,024.
The following estimates are made for
salaries , clerks , etc. , for the next year :
Compensation for postmasters , $16.500,000 ;
clerks In postofQces. $10,100,000 ; rent , fuel
and light , first and zecond-class , $900,000 ;
miscellaneous Incidentals and furniture , flrat
und second-class postotnces , $150,000 ; adver
tising , first and second-class postofflces ,
$15,000 , and rentals and cancelling machines ,
$60.000.
Mr. Jones says that owing to the scant
appropriation the work of the free delivery
system has been curtailed. There have
been no new offices made free delivery dur
ing the year. There has been a slight In
crease In the number ot carriers , and there
has been a settlement of many overtime
claims of carriers during the year. Mr.
Jones condemns as heartily as he did last
year the experimental free delivery and the
rural free delivery tried by his predecessor.
He estimates the free delivery services al
$12.327,685 for the next year.
The estimate for supplies at the Postolllce
department Is $444,500 ; a decrease of $31,000

"The number of pieces of original dead

Mr. Jones says that so vigorously have
he provisions of the act of congress been
jnforced to prevent the malls from being
ised for fraudulent purposes that "green

elve replies through the malls , but use the

WASHINGTON , Nov. 11. The following
etter has been received from Homo by
Arohblshop Satolll , to be forwarded by him
o the archbishops. Heretofore the Peter's
pence collected every year In each diocese
was sent directly by the bishops to Home.
Now thcso collections must be transmitted
llrcctly to the delegate. Moreover , any In-
llvldual who wishes to make In his own
name a more liberal contribution than he
would ordinarily put In the diocesan col-
cctlon may do so by nddrcsslnc It directly
.o the pope through the delegate. Hero
s the letter from the holy father to the
jlshops :
Venerable Brother Among other efficient
neans of fostering and proving devotedness
: o the Homan pontiff , cne deserves notice.
We mean the financial Mjpport given him
: hat he may the more readily provide for
the Interests of the church. Since the days
) t the apostles the faithful have given in
; hla matter n. noble example , which has
continued through all time und events. The
support Is justly called 1'eter's pence. As
suredly , In these latter dayw , when the
rights of the Roman church nre unjustly
violated nnd its former means have ceased ,
t Is a fact worthy of remembrance and com
mendation that Catholics af almost every
nation have been so warm In their attach
ment to the successor -of St. I'eter as to
come In aid of his honorable destitution. In
this concert the faithful of your gleat coun
try deserve n Just meed of praise , for under
HIP guidance and exhortation of their
lilshons , they have given remarkable proofs
of the nrdor of their faithfulness and the
native goncrcslty of their hearts.
It Is useless , then , to urge' them to fur
ther continuance of this custom. Our pur
pose , rather , Is to point out an arrangement
which shall facilitate , and , If possible , also
Increase , their generosity. Not long ago , fts
you know , we thought proper to give to
your illooese and your flocks a special pledge
of our affection In the establishment of a
permanent apostolic delegation , so there
might constantly bo In your midst one who
should represent our person and manage
your more Important affairs In our name
and with our power. Now , this Institution
naturally suggests the new arrangement we
should like In make as to the Peter's pence.
It Is this : The collections for this purpose
which earn bishop orders In his diocese , an
well as the private contributions that Indi
vidual Catholics may wish to maki to the
holy father In their own names , shall hence
forth be forwarded to nnd placed to the-
credit of the apostolic delegate In Washing
ton , he ( ifterwatds to remit the Hums In us
with Itemized details. Your generosity will
be most acceptable and opportune ju t now ,
for the neoda Increase day by day with our
growing solicitude for the faith , especially
since the publication of our late apostolic
letter on unity. We cherish certain projects
by which we hope , not without good ground ,
to foster and hasten that devoutry wlshed-
for consummation , the reunion of Christen
dom. Such , venerable brother , Is our wish
In this matter ,
We know well nnd duly praise your will
ingness to correspond to our counsels and
desires , and now we lovingly bestow upon
yourself , your wcrk , your clergy , your peu-
ple , the * apostolic benediction aa a pledge
of God's choicest blessings that unfailing
success mav attend vonr pastorate.
Given nt H-me In St. Peters , the IGth day
of September , 1S9I , the 17th venr of our
pontlflclnte. I.EO POPXIII. .
The projects referred to are seminaries to
be founded at various points In the Orient ,
Athens , Smyrna , Corfu pnd others. The lat
tcr also Implies that priests and people are
expected to avail themselves of this oppor
tunity to show their gratitude for thees
tabllshmcnt ot the apostolic delegation.

the department Issued the order made nec

of the whole country , and In peace you
have performed whatever duties were Im

Your twonty-llve years' service nt sen have

you as n. "sea-going"
sailor , and your career us an admiral in
command of a squadron Is without prece
dent In the navy. In command of the In
ternational naval review fleet you had un
der your control ships representing more
nations than were ever actually commanded
by any admiral la the world , and the man
ner In which you discharged the duties de
volving upon you called forth the praise of
the commanding olllcers of every vessel In
the fleet. The "loving cup" presented by
them all as a joint testimonial of tSelr
esteem was n tribute the value of which
cannot be overestimated. During my long
acquaintance with you , during a period of
years , our intercourse has been pleasant
and agreeable and now , as our business
relations are about to be severed by your
retirement , I beg to express my apprecia
tion of your valuable services , which have

\clilcvrnicntii of the Ten in In Its Huvernl
I'ontrntB Slnco Orciinl/ml.
On Thanksgiving day , 1890 , a small crowd
of college men nnd those ot their friends
whom they could Induce to accompany them ,
gathered at the Young-Men's Christian As
sociation park In this city to witness the
Irst foot ball match In Nebraska. The boys
of the University of Nebraska lined up
against the Young Men's Christian associa
tion team. Newspaper reports of the game
nduced the men of several Nebraska col-
eges to organize teams , Doane among the
rest. Despite the fact that not a man In
the school had ever seen n gameof Rugby ,
a thorough study of the printed rules and u
Ittlo practice soon developed such a case of
swell head that a game was arranged with
the aggregation from the State university.
All Doane and half of Crete wnded the mud
and water to the cast of Merrill Hall on
that llth of February , 1891 , and shouted
alike nt good and bad plays. Charley Chnd-
sey , "the tall sycamore , " played at quarter
and captured the game , nnd Mains , the only
oneof the boys etlll with theDonne team ,
acted as snap back. Doane's experience
was bought that day nt the rate ot 18 to 0.
Uut that was dheap. A general shuflle of
men was made , "six-foot Charles" waa sup
planted by n man less drawn out. Mains
went back to half. Stull , who this year
played tackle- , was Introduced to the work
it center , and the result was the victory of
SB to 0 over Hastings college the following
June.
On October SI , 1831 , Doane Journeyed to
Lancaster , determined to win from the Uni
versity of Nebraska , but missed It by u
couple of dozen , the score standing 28-4 ,
with the big number on the wrongend. .
Doane played very good ball , but her men
had a penchant for letting the pigskin roll
iround loose on the prouml , and sooner or
later some doughty Nebrasknn was sure to
fall on It. Mains was still playing half nnd
captained the game. Leavltt was Initiated
as quarter back and has never been sup
planted , although several have worked long
and hard for the position , Stull again did
the work at center and Fuller ns half back
played his maiden game.
Doane's defeat was oppressive , and a re
turn game was played at Crete two weeks
later , November 14 , and Presto ! Change !
"Doane , Little Doane" bobbed up serenely
with fourteen points to her credit , while
her friends , "the enemy , " succeeded In bag
ging only 12. Crete was jubilant , Doune
was wild , but the men from the capital 'city
were crestfallen. "Done by 'little Doane. '
Ah , bitter dose ! " Nebraska retired In dis
order , but not discouraged. An ex-Yale
man as coach , the acquisition of much
heavier players , among them Fllppln. who
ever since has been the wonder of the west ,
and a. few weeks for practice , put her team
In such condition ns to warrant another
challenge being sent to Crete. The two
teams again met on Dcane's grounds on
December 5. With the protection of his
heavy forwards , the giant mulatto found
but little trouble In rushing the ball over to
his heart's content , ard carried home a
string of points numbering 32. After thin
defeat Doane put In her time- bemoaning
her lamentable lack of avoirdupois , and
realized sadly that In foot ball , ns In love ,
It Is disagreeably true that
"The form of n giant makes larger show
Than the soul of a little man ! "
The season of ' 02 found Doane In better
shape than ever before. Fred Reed , who
had played quarter at Dartmouth , coached
the team. Mains went Into the line ns
tackle , Fisher was still at center , and "Pap"
Owen was Initiated as guard. This was the
year the State university men backed out
after arranging a game with Donne. They
did , however , send down a challenge after
the close of the season , when Doane's team
was disbanded , nnd then claimed the cham
pionship by default. As It was , Doane only
got two games that year , one against the
University of Illinois , played In Omaha , In
which she was beaten 20-0 , nnd the other
against Cotner university , played at Crete ,
which she won by a Bcoro of G2-0. Her
gains were made by Williams and Fuller at
half nnd Patton nnd Maln nt tackle. In
terference was just being Introduced , and
Its value was manifested In the game
against Cotner , In which Doane was greatly
outclassed In weight , but her blocking off
won for her.
Last yenr ( ' 93) ) A. W. Jefferls of Michigan
coached the team. On October 7 Ashland
fell on easv prey to "tho tigers" to the tune
of 18-0. Mains coached and captained the
losers , but was on hand on the 21st to line
up against the men from "the State. " Ne
braska succeeded In pulling out twenty-
eight points while Doane "held the bag. "
Two weeks later the- men of orange and
black were shut out again by Baker uni
versity In the- neatest , cleanest and hardest
gnmo ever witnessed at Crete. But the
snap of the season was the game played
at Nellgh against Gates college on , the day
after Thanksgiving , when Doane wiped up
a. portion of the Ulkhoni valley with her
antagonists to the tune of GG to b.
This yenr Doane has done herself proud.
Of seven games played , nve of them agulnst
teams from much larger Institutions , she
has won five decided victories and been shut
out but once , while four times her oppo
nents have been called upon to nurse a
geese egg. Her coaches , Lyman of Yrtle
and Thomas of Michigan , cannot be- given
too much credit for their painstaking-
skillful work with the team , and the "vet
erans" of former years formed n nucleus of
strength to which to add same of the splen
did material which enrolled this fall. The
season , waa opened on September 22 with a
gama against Oakland , and one a week
later against Nebraska City , which were
won by scores of 2G and 33 to 0 respectively.
On her Kansas trip Doane met the Kansas
university , Topeka Athletic club nntl last
year's Raker team , which Is now at Ot
tawa. She succeeded In , scoring twelve
points against the redoubtable 1C. U. team.
At Topeka Doane put In all her subg and
then played horse with her opponents , but
at Ottawa the veterans of Baker's champion
team proceeded to give the visitors their
only shut out of the season. Returning to
Crete Just In time to meet her engagement
with the Iowa college team , which has held
the championship of that state for four
years past , Doane won the closest victory of
the season. 10 to 8 , on October 19 , making
a record of four Kames and BOO miles trav
eled In six days. A week later the referee's
whlstlo signalled the owning charge of the
U. of N.'s Waterloo , when a thousand loyal
' '
Llncolnlten reluctantl" - - - - -
Invincible , and try as they would. Nebraska
could not better the hopeless appearance of
the score , 12-0.
A few words concerning Individual playera
may not be out of place : Captain Malnn
the half back , Is so well known to all Ns.
braska people as to need little mention. He
has captained the team both times It won
from University of Nebraska. His weight ls
about 178 pounds. Fuller Is nalel by Jefferls
to be the best full back In the west ; his
weight. 170. Feese , who has played left
Mli for two years , la known aa the "little
giant" and has an enviable reputation.
"Petros" Leavltt. while weighing only 135 ,
has very few errors charged up to his ac
count during- his four yearn at quarter.
Kenagy (155) ( ) and Houston (160) ( are Bald by
Yont of Nebraska to be the finest end men
west of the Mississippi. Of the tackles ,
Stull weighs 170 and has played four BBU-
sons , and Reasoner ( ISO ) , although playing
with a dlHlocutrd shoulder , wore out three
different opposing tackles in the Nebraska
game. At cuurd "Pap" Owen U a heavy
weight. 1M pounds , and " 811m" I.ee , his
partner , who weighs IS ] and U six feet three
Inches tall. Is said by Hector Cowan to be
the best guard In his acquaintance In the
west. The center li held down by Fisher.
185 pounds. These are the men whose sea-
son's record. Is-IM points against their com
bined oppOBvntY 4s.
If the proRnMtlcatlons of good foot ball
judges nre to be depended upon , Donne's
prospects for next ncason are bright Indeed
Most of her veterans will hold over another
year and be renjly to line up curly In Sep
tember. MX'nrhfhtle , the rank nnd file of
the "college pn/lhe Ulue" sing with louder
nnd more triumphant tones than ever before
their loved refrain ot "Here's to Clood Old

OMAHA , Nov. 11. To the Republicans ot
Nebraska : 'My attention ls called to an ar-
tlclo In this morning's Dec , the purport ot
which Is epitomized fn oneof the headlines-
John M. Thurston Is to llo Knifed. "
Now that the campaign Is clwed , I feel
Justified In addressing you on the senatorial
situation. I have never as'ked ' or solicited the
vote of any man for any official position , and
I do not propose to do so at the present
time. Whether or not I am to be the next
senator from the state ot Nebraska must de
pend upon the Irea will of tlio republican
mcmbern-elect of the next legislature. It Is
of far more Importance to me that I retain
the friendship and eateem of the republicans
ot Nebraska than that I bo elected to ofllcc.
In the campaign just closca , as In all pre
vious ones , I Jiavo done whatever I could
for the triumph oC republican principles
and the election of all the republican nom
inees , The1 republicans of Nebraska will
bear mo out In the statement that during the
entire campaign , In which I delivered SPV-
enty-slx speeches In fifty counties , I subordi
nated any possible ambition ot my own to the
earnest and loyal advocacy ot republicanism.
In only ono respect did 1 enter Into per
sonal politics , and that was to urge repub
licans and the citizens bf Nebraska to stand
by the head ot the republican ticket and to
support Mr. Majors , our nominee tor gov *
eruor. Against the advice , and , In many
Instances , protests , ot my personal friends , I
devoted myself to the state campaign In
stead ot remaining at home to look after my
awn Interests In Douglas county. I did this
at the solicitation of the republican state cen
tral committee , being entirely willing to leave
the matter ot | he legislative ticket In my
own county to the free will of the people
among whom I Jiave lived for twenty-five
yearsi
In answer to those who are now claiming
that Do-uglas county did not do Us duty to
the head of the state ticket , I have this to
say :
Mr Majors recolved moro votes In Douglas
county for governor In 1894 than ha received
fcr lieutenant governor In 1892 , when he ran
ahead ot his ticket ; he received nearly as
many votes as our' popular candidate for
congress , David "II. Mercer , notwithstanding
the fact that Mr. Mercer resides In Douglas
county , and Is ' perhaps the most popular
man among us. He also ran well up with
the average ot the legislative candidates.
And all this Tjjrfsplte the fact that we had
no newspaperman Djiigias county through the
columns of wh chjfg voters could be reached.
The fact that ( [ lie other candidates on the
state ticket received greater pluralities In
Douglas county ? , tljHii Mr. Majors Is almost
wholly becaus tlie opposition combined on
Mr. Holcomb tp'a uiuch greater degree than
upon any of tlieyotl er nominees ot the demo
crats and populate. * The- same Is trueIn the
state at large. Th * returns Indicate that Mr.
Majors ran wtll updto the balance of the > ro-
publlcan state'ticket ; ' not moro than --3,00.0.
behind on the "total vote of tho.state. Ha
was defeatedlit at all , not by the failure
of republican support , but because of the
combined vote-'b'f'the opposition for Mr. Hol
comb. 3 '
When It Is'conBMlered that the combined
popflllst and democratic vote of 1892 on eov
ornor 'jvas S-t.SSfl'more ' than the vote cast for
Lorenzo'1 Cr'otinso "fnnd that t 6 combined
Vota'Vfthe deinoerj"iind ! | popu/lstsr / In 1894
on Supreme Judgo' was' ' 30370 more than the *
votes received by1 Mr. Harrison , the repub
lican nominee , some Id a can bo foimed $ f
tlio terrible odds which It 'was necessary for
ihe , republicans to. overcome In , order to elect
their' candidate for gdvcrnor. An'd. while we
all deeply deplore the , loss of a single candi
date" on our state "ticket , U must ba 'pdiSfcedcd
that the result IS a great victory for repub
licanism In Nebraska.
The overwhelming majority which the re
publicans have secured In the legislature will
naturaly Invite the candidacy of numerous
republicans who might worthily aspire to the
senatorshlp. I neither question the. right nor
criticise the propriety ol any man's candi
dacy , I have nothing to ask from the re
publican party except 'that they select that
man for senator who can best rcpresjnt
them in the senate ot the United States.
In conclusion , permit me to say that the
distinguished honor ot representing the state
of Nebraska In the senate of the United
States is worthy ot the best aspirations of
any citizen , and should I be selected for
that great honor jl can only promise that I
will give to the Interests of my state and
her people my sole and undivided attention
and whatever -measure of ability I may
possess. I can. further assure my fellow
citizens that either Inor out of ofllcc I shall
stand by the principles ot the republican
party , ready In the future , as In the past , to
devote myself to the maintenance of Amer
ican Institutions and to those measures ot
legislation which stand for the uplifting of
the common people Into the sunshine ot
American prosperity.JOHN

Women of all raiifts and positions took
part In the late civil war , not only as spies ,
but also as private soldiers and holding
honorary commlHslons. It Is difficult to say
whether their motives wcro like those ot
Joan of Arc the salvation of their country
or merely love of excitement. Itut It Is as
tonishing to find , In talking with cx-offlcers ,
how many of the other sex did share the
hardships of battle , some openly confessing
their sex , othets disguised as men.
Every one knows of llelle Iloyd , the famous
spy , but there are many whose names never
became famous , but whoso work was as
subtle and as daring.
Brigadier General llakcr of the secret ucrv-
ince during the civil war tells of the work of
a Miss Ford , who was a devoted little rebel ,
and lived at Fairfax Court House. Her
father's home was headquarters for the staff
officers of the union , nnd Miss Ford was
mllto a belle among them. She was , to all
purposes , for the union , and the officers be
lieved In her to the extent ot telling her
much of the strength of the army , ily care
ful investigation and close observation she
obtained In a seemingly careless manner all
Information necessary for the use of the
confederates.
The only frequent visitor she had wan nn
unpretentious , provincial youth , who would
sit on the piazza with her in the forenoon
exciting no suspicion. The "youth" was
Mosby , the famous guerilla , and Miss Ford ,
who was honorary aide-de-camp to Brigadier
General J. E. B. Stuart , was giving him the
whole scheme ana strength of the union
forces , where the pickets were stationed , the
strength of the outposts , the names of offi
cers In command , tlio nature of general or
ders , the places where officers' quarters were
established and the number of officers pres
ent.
ent.Once
Once when she was riding with a union
officer , Mosby joined them In hi : unfashiona
ble citizens' clothes ; Miss Ford Introduced
him under his assumed name , and joining
them for a few miles , he learned much that
ho wished to know. That night Mosby was
enabled , through Miss Ford's Information , to
make the attack upon General Stroughton ,
carrying officers as prisoners , also valuables
property , and capturing 100 fine horses. It
was this affair which called forth Lincoln's
well known remark that "It was a great P'ty ' ;
ho could make brigadier generis , but
couldn't make horses. "
WOMAN AGAINST WOMAN.
The true circumstances and mode of at
tack , the accurate Information in possession
of the confederate leader , nil pointed unmis
takably to the existence of a spy within the
Hoes , so a. woman was sent to moot a woman.
One of the female detectives of the secret
service "went to Miss Ford , represented her
self .as a southern woman , asking protection
to reach the confederate lines , and the two
women became friends. In a burst of confi
dence. Miss Ford showed the detective the
sealed commission ot atd-de-camp , which she
kept between her mattresses. She was ar
rested and sent to Old Capitol prison.
INCOMPATIBILITY OF TEMPER.
There was another distinguished female
captive at this prison at the same time , and
she was a southerner. Disguised In soldiers'
clothes , she had entered too far Into the lines ,
and was arrested for a spy. In telling of Tier ,
Major General Townsend says : "She- had no
friends In the city to upply her with appro
priate clothing. It was at last reported to
me that being greatly mortified regarding' her
raiment slie stayed In bed all the time rather
than appear In It after her sex bad been de
tected. I mentioned her dilemma to that
most worthy , true-hearted Presbyterian di
vine , Dr. John C. Smith , and suggested that
life' ' wife might be disposed to visit the little
prisoner and provide her with female np-
itarel.
"Somo time after the doctor told mo that
Mrs. Smith want to see her and found the
young woman In bed. But It transpired that
In the course uf the Interview the little
soldier exprcsbed to Mrs. Smith so em
phatically her opinion of 'Yankees' and all
their dolnga that the clergyman's wlfa grew
Indignant and left , declaring the woman
Boldler might remain In bed forever , or wear
her male garb until It dropped off before she
would help her out. " So tin minister stood
helpless between the two women's temper.
A PHENOMENAL OHDEHLY SERGEANT.
Many women there were who shouldered
the musket , rode until they dropped and stood
fire like a man. With dozens of these their
sex was not discovered until they were
carried Into the strg on's tent wounded. One
of the unique announcements of such a case
of mistaken Identity was posted In the head
quarters ot General Hoserrans.
It explains Itself :
Headquarters. Department of the Cumber
land , April H 1SC3.
General The Kcncral commanding directs
me to call your attention to u flagrant out
rage committed In ypur command a young
person having been admitted Inside your
lines without a puss , nnd In violation of
your orders. The cuso Is one which calls
for your personal attention , and the gen
eral commanding directs that you should
deal with the offending patty according to
law.
law.Tho
The medical director reports that an or
derly sergeant In Brigadier General
division was today delivered of a dnughter ,
which Is In violation of all military law nnd
the army regulations. No such case has
been known since the days of Jupiter.
A WISCONSIN HEROINE.
One of the women who distinguished her
self nobly In the soldiering of the army was
Mrs. Annie Etherldge of Wisconsin , who
was In the second battle of Bull nun , and
had public recognition from General Kearny
of her services. His doatli prevented her
promotion. She was otten under fire. An
officer was once shot down by her side , and
once , when a rebel officer was captured , Mrs.
Etherldco escorted him to the rear by the
general's command. At Spottsylvania
Heights , when the soldiers were retreating ,
she remonstrated with them and brought
them back , altogether proving herself a dar
ing soldier. She received a government ap
pointment after the war.
IN AN ILLINOIS REGIMENT.
Mme. Lurchln , another woman of high birth ,
fought on the union side. She was the
dauehter of a Russian officer , born In a
Russian camp , and was the wife of Colonel
Lurchln ot an Illinois regiment. During an
Illness of her husband she took command of
the regiment , and proved heraelf an Intrepid
loader.
Neither did these women go unrewarded.
There was Major Pauline Cushman. who.
unlike Mme. Lurchln and Mrs. EtherldKe
wore military trousers as well as coat. Miss
Cushman was a beautiful and well known
actress when the war broke out. At the
commencement of hostilities she was play
ing In Louisville , and Incurring the suspi
cion of being a secessionist , she was arrested
by federar authorities. To test her she was
asked If she would enter the secret service
of the government. She consented and was
at ones employed to carry letters between
Louisville and Nashville.
Miss Cushman was employed by General
Rosecrans , and was for months with the
Cumberland army. Major Cushman knew
every road and every house for miles , was
the most daring of econta and Intrepid of
fighters. Slio visited the confederate lines
time after time. Twice she wag suspected
ol being a spy and arrested , but both times
she escaped by keenest strategy ,
A BIT OF STRATEGY.
Once Ills s Cuihman was Bent aa scout
toward Shelbyvllla from Nashville , which
waa held by union forcfcs. to ascertain the
strength of the enemy. Returning ihe wax
captuned , placed on a horse In charge of two
spouts and taken to Forrest's headquarter * .
Baffled for awhile , she roda on , but at last
Yolgnad alcknest and said she was unable
to rlda further. Stopping at a house , Mlas
Cushman found that federal scouts bad
passed that way an hour before.
Calling an old negro to her. she put some
money Into his band , told him to go down
the road and come back screaming "Tho
Yankees are coming ! " Ho did a nlio di
rected , and , although the southern soldiers
refused to bellovo him at first , ho acted his
part so well they finally made oft for hiding ,
leaving Miss Cushman alone. Oho escaped ,
but found It wan necessary to pans the con *
federate pickets. To the first four , when
halted , she gave the countersign a canteen
of whisky but the fifth was moro Inqulal-
tlvo and she was turned back. She reached
Rosecrans finally , but was In the end ar
rested.
A GALLANT OFFJCER.
Captain Taylor was another titled woman
soldier that General ICIrkland tells of. She
was Miss Sarah Taylor , stepdaughter ol
Captain Dowdcn , and Joined the First Ten
nessee. She was only 18 when she entered
the nrmy , and through the whole war was
tlio Idol of the Tennessee boys. She wore
the regulation sword and sliver mounted
pistols , was an expert itwordswomnn , a sure
shot with pistol and could ride like an Arab.
When the order was given to reinforce
Captain Garrard , Captain Taylor galloped ,
cap In hand , along the line , cheering the
men and marched In the van with them.
They considered her as a mascot.
Mrs. Reynolds , wife of Lieutenant Rey
nolds , company A , Seventeenth Illinois , was
made an honorary major by Governor Yatcs
'
o't Illinois for "meritorious conduct on the
hloody battlefield of Plttsburg Landing. "
A LOYAL SOLDIER.
In the prison at Atlanta , On , , a young
woman was discovered disguised as a sol
dier. She was Miss Hook of Chicago , known
In the Nineteenth Illinois as Frank Miller.
She was shot through the log and taken
prisoner. It was said that Jeff Davis wrote
to her , offering her a lieutenancy If she
would enlist on the southern side. She re
fused , and was finally exchanged.
General Klrkland also tells of a case of
monomania occurring In a young woman of
Brooklyn , only 19 yearn of ago. She became
possessed with the ldo\ that she was a
modern Joan of Arc to lead the union armies
to victory. She was carried everywhere by
her family to cure her , but nho made her
escape from Ann Arbor , Mich , , went to De
troit , where she enlisted In a drum corps
ot a Michigan regiment , and finally succeeded
In getting to the Army of Uio Cumberland ,
How she survived the hardships of the
Kentucky campaign Is a wonder , for aho went
through it all , deluded as she was. During
the battle of Lookout Mountain aho was shot
In the left side nnd her sex discovered when
she waa dying In the surgeon's tent. Shu
wan burled on the field ,
Thcso are only a 'few ' of the most notable
Instances of woman warriors In the late
war , but all officers unite In saying that
there were dozens of privates who served
with bravery equal to the men , and many
whoso sex was not discovered until the- war
was ending.
LARGEST IN" THE WOULD.
The Ilutln llullt In Sun FntnclRco by Sutro ,
tlm 'tunnel Mllllmmlrn.
The Sutro baths exceed the famous Roman
baths of antiquity In size as well as equip
ment , says the San Francisco Examiner.
The largest of the Roman baths had about
200 feet of frontage , to use the modern com
mercial terms of designation. Two of these
great bathing places might bo dropped within
the Sutro baths and still leave room enough
for men to walk and women to flirt.
Adolnh Siitro Is a skillful engineer and ho
enjoys solving problems In construction or
breaking through difficulties la mechanics as
he enjoys Invigorating exercise. Ho designed
the building over the bath , devised the plan
for water supply , Invented and patented the
apparatus for heating the water. The Sutro
tunnels , second scries , are part ot his scheme
of construction.
With the ocean at his feet , the breakers
dashing against the rocks , Mr. Sutro deemed
that nature had so well provided power to
send the water to the bathing tanks that
ait flclil means would ba unn ce s ry. There
fore with much noise and enthusiasm he
blasted out a basin In the solid rock. Over
the edge of this basin comes the water of
the huge rollers. Instead of riding the crest
of the wave , Mr. Sutro traps the crest of the
wave and uses It for his own purpose. From
the basin the water flows through tunnels
and canals , passes Rates until It reaches the ,
reservoir , where It Is warmed by the Sutra
patent process , and then It flows Into the
great tanks in the huge glass and steel build
ing.
ing.On
On the road to the tanks through the canals
and the tunnels the water has to pay toll ot
sand. Of course , It would not do to have the
waves carry their load of sand Into the baths ,
so a settling place Is provided. By automatic
arrangement , also the device of Mr. Sutro.
the sand Is washed back Into the ocean , while
the water , cleared , goes on Its course through
tunnels and canals to the tanks.
Sometimes the tide Is very low and some
times the ocean , even at the cliff , Is quiet.
There might bo times when the water could
not dash over the rock wall Into the basin.
Artifice Is employed to take the place of na
ture when nature Is In a quiet mood. An
emergency pipe pokes US black proboscis
under the waves , und a pump can draw
through It 5.000 gallons a minute whenever
the 5,000 gallons are wanted In a minute.
Having made enough tunnels to admit the
water , sandless and tepid , to the tanks , Mr.
Sutro had to provide for sending the water
to sea again , that the ocean might not be
drained. Dropping out the water nt the place
at which It was taken In would not be sat
isfactory. Mr. Sutro did not want the baths
to be receiving the same water over and over
again. That plan would ba too easy. In It
were no obstacles to overcome. He laid an
outlet pipe through tunnels probably several
hundred feet long , and through this the water
will flow from the tanks and return to the
sea several hundred feel from the place
whence It was taken.
The water that comes In through the tun
nels must fill six tanks. The largest of these ,
the main swimming tank. Is 275 feet long ,
and at the place of greatest breadth Is 150
feet wide. The other tanks are smaller.
Some will ba used for ladles and children ,
some for beginners each one has Us par
ticular use. One tank will be filled with
cold salt water tor swimmers who want a
shock. Then there Is a little tank filled with
fresh water .supplied from the Sutro water
works on the bluff above. And the dressIng -
Ing roams , every ono provided with a fresh
water shower and an electric light , and the
club roo3 for the companions of bathers
they are C'unted by hundreds and are built
tier upon tier , until the visitor Is amazed
at their number as much as ho wondered at
the maze of tunnels.
The spectacular effect of the baths was
prominent In the purpose of Mr. Sutro In
planning these baths. The glazed roof , that
great span that Is moro than two acres In
area , Is go high above tha tanks that looking
up to the vault seems like peering from the
court of the Palace hotel to the sixth story.
Elevators and grand staircases give com
munication from one tier of the building to
another. About the bathing tanks are
seats In tiers ; seats for 5,300 people In a
great amphitheater , and there l room for
15,000 moro to stand and to promenade. A
place that can accommodate 20,000 people at
one time must be of some size. At the
ocean end of the tanks Is a great Rtnge ,
fifty-feet broad , on which musicians will be
seated. By the sidei of the staircases are
planted wonderful tropical plants , and In
great boxes above the promenades are grow
ing palms. The baths are full ot beauty and
color. Through the glass side walla Is the
ocean view. Provision la made for three
restaurants , each on a different tier of the
building , an aquarium , a carriage entrance , a
conservatory , and possibly more tunnels.

The celebrated "disappearing woT' Is situ
ated on a farm near Olympla , Wash. It was
sunk In 1383 , the workmen going- down to a
depth of twenty-three feet. About 1S90 It'
was noticed that the platform was bolng
gradually raised oft the ground by the. toi/
layer ot bricks , which had protruded above
the ground , and before the crtu" of Iho yca"r"
had repeated the operation twelve different
times , removing not ICES tlmn two foot of
the wall. Slnco the spring of 189 ; tlio well
has been entirely abandoned , the water hav
ing become unfit for use on account of some
obpoxlous gas escaping from It , and which
can be smelled at a distance ot 100 fcot from
the well. Since Its abandonment nothing baa
been done toward removing the bricks which
gradually , but surely , layer otter layer , show
themselves above the ground. At the present
time the wall actually "sticks" out of the
ground , like a huge circular chimney , Its
height above the surface belnc a few inches
over ten feet. The bottom of the well Is
now only eleven feet from the surface , and
It has been calculated that nt the present
rats of the upheaval It will actually rlso
to the surface level and entirely disappear
by the end of IS'JS. Scientific Inquiry proves
that the phenomenon Is of selsmlo origin
nnd that It Is really the showing of the lessor
forces of an earthquake.
