OW many of them perished and found unknown graves?
Where are those who survived? What did they attain
in after years?
. A great silence broods over their careers.
Men like Major Andre and Nathan Hale succeeded in
throwing about their hapless fate the glamour of romance and martyrdom, but
such halos seem to have novefed over the heads of few, if any, who, during the
J
Civil War, were condemned to dieby the felon's rope the death of the spy.
But in spite of this perilous and ill-requited duty, hundreds of men and
women both North and South played this essential yet thankless part for
love of the cause they thought was right.
How many of those who sought that calling met death, not only in shame,
but also completely severed from all that was dear .to them, we will never know.
But the history, distributed by this paper, which contains the Long-Lost Origi
nal Brady War Photographs, .will tell you more about them what they did,
where they worked, how they operated than any one ever knew before.
There's a.Story
Behind Every i Picture
. These Long-Lost Photographs of Brady's now
just discovered and issued in handsome portfolios
take you behind the scenes of warfare and make
you acquainted with the Secret Service operatives,
scouts and spies on both sides.
HEY show you MRS. GREENHOW, the ConfeUmto
Spy, ana cer daughter In tbe old Capitol Prison In
Washington. It was she who sent the famous cipher
message to Beauregard, "Order issued for McDowell
to move on Mannassas tonight." She was arrested by Allan
Pinkerton and put tinder military guard. Later it was dis
covered she had, even while in prison, furnished the Confed
erates with the information which they so much desired.
ONE of the portraits is that of "MAJOR" PAULINE
CUSHMAN, of the Federal Secret Service, who barely
escaped hanging. She was actually under sentence
of death, having been caught between the lines of
tne Confederate Army, but she escaped and managed to re-
ain the Union lines in the confusion of the evacuation of
helbyville.
NANCY HART, the Southern Guide and Spy, is shown
in the picturesque garb she wore while in prison.
Her work was so valuable to the South that the
Federal Government offered large rewards for her
capture. Lieut-Col. Starr, of the 9th W. Va.r finally caught
her after one of her fearless journeys leading Jackson's
cavalry upon the Federal outposts. After being imprisoned,
she managed to get hold of her guard's gun, killed him, and
escaped on Colonel Starr's horse to the nearest Confederate detachment.
The Inside Story of the Civil War
Brought to Light in the Long-Lost
Rradv War
holographs
(Illustrating the "Civil War Through the Camera")
The most startling of the newly revealed secrets
brought to light in the Brady War Photographs are the
amazing glimpses into that inner Secret Service of gueril
las, spies and scouts for whom a disgraceful death threat
ened with each sunrise.
The work of these men, so valuable to the armies of the
North and South, so fascinating to hear about, was but
slightly remembered till vividly recalled by the discovery
of the hundreds of long-lost photographs contained In the
sixteen sections of the "Civil War Through the Camera."
Strange, indeed, it is to see in these portfolios the
portraits of many men whose valor was, perhaps, greater
than that of the soldiers in the armies while the narrative
text which accompanies the pictures recounts the experi
ences of these men and tbe ingenious schemes unearthed
by their clever ruses.
One photograph pictures the locomotive that hung
eight men as spies, another shows the tatc of a Confederate
spy before Petersburg, others Allan Pinkerton, the women
spies, the daring scouts and Secret Service agents each
being further vitalised by a detailed and authentic descrlp;
tion of the scenes and persons represented.
All of these and more are scattered through tbe six
teen sections of this wonderful work. Each section com
plete, with colored frontispiece, for ten cents and coupon.
Back numbers upon request.

ANOTHER ardent 'daughter of tbe Confederacy was BELLE BOYD, the
Famous Spy. This girl ran many hazards In her zeal to aid the cause she
loved. Arrested in 1862, she was sent to prison in Baltimore. For lack
of evidence she was allowed to return to her home. This adventure did
not dampen her ardor, nor stop her activities. Many a story of her carrying mys
. terious despatches and divulging the secrets of the army reached the Secretary of
War and finally she was captured at a Federal picket line and her work for the
8onth was put at an end.

anotner wno n&icea oeatn as a spy. you can see laces aught with youth

generals so desperately needed, risked detection, and the instant, nameless execu-
Bon which would follow it, by entering into the enemy's lines.
In these Long-Lost Photographs of Brady's the portraits of a few of the great
detectives, the intrepid scouts, the daring spies, have also been rescued from
obscurity. You owe it to yourself to secure the whole sixteen sections. If you

Secret Service in Photographs
These pictures are not shown as fancied by any artist, but as they really were.
In one of the sections we see Allan Pinkerton, the famous detective and organiser
of the Secret Service of the Federal Army, standing beside President Lincoln.
The pen drawing above shows this great detective in a characteristic attitude.
His task was hard, for it was bis will for the Secret Service operatives to hunt down
men, enter within tbe enemy's lines to learn the location of earthworks, tbe strength
of the batteries, the numbers of opposing forces, when failure meant death; when
success brought only but little reward except labor for love of country.
Besides the pictures mentioned .in this article, you will find "The Mounted
Police of the West," "Grant's Telegraph Station,'' ''The Military Telegraph in
the Field" and Andrew Carnegie who established tbe system, etc., scattered
throughout the sixteen sections of this wonderful work.
All of these photographs of Brady's are so startling, so different from anything
in the world today that we have spent most of the time talking about them and
neglected to say anything about the fascinating story that follows the pictures.
This description is like no history you have ever read before. It tells the inti
mate story of the war, and more, and more, as spellbound you read tbe story behind
these pictures, you will learn the grim tragedy of that four years' war of brother
against brother. You will see In troth with its lessons, its sufferings, its romance,
its inspiration the conflict that cost tbe lives of three-quarters of a million men.
This section is complete in Itself and carries the reader
to the end of the Battles in front of Chattanooga where
Brsgg's army had been defeated, and from which it had to
retreat to the mountains of Georgia. The photographs show
the country over which the conflict took place and the actors in the great struggle.
There are 16 pages of these pictures and a colored frontispiece ready for framing.

ECONOMY TIPS FOR COAL USER
The method! employed by the govern
ment In the, purchase of coal on the
basis' 'of. the number of heat units It
contains .are explained In a bulletin jut
issued l.ly the United States bureau of
mines. This plan, which is an outgrowth
of the conservation movement, has re
sulted, according tq the bureau, in a eav-
iw: of thousands of dollars to the gov
ernment, and also to municipalities and
manufacturing- establishments which have
adopted the system.
The Federal government purchases an
nually between $ti,5OO,00O and J8,000,000
worth of fuel. Last year more than
12100,000 worth of thi3 coaw was bought
rt the specification basis, which nro
fidra a premium for roal delivered con
taining more heat units than colled tor,
end a penalty for the coal that falls
below the number stated In the con
tract. The amount of ash and moisture
in the coal is also taken into consider
ation. Coal dealers were generally against
the method whon first Introduced, but it
is claimed they now see its fairness and
are In favor of it. In the past. It is said,
coal was bought on Its trade name, its
reputation, wiUtettl any thought o( iU
analysis. This oftentimes barred out the
dealer who had good coal that was not
Known to the trade.
The bureau of mines' officials declare
that since this new method of purchase
was inaugurated, it has broadened the
field for both the government and the
dealer, as trade names are Ignored and
comparatively unknown coals offer'd by
rcsnonsible bidders are accepted without I
detriment to the government,
The claim Is made by the bureau that
under this plan the man who buys gets
what he pays for and pays for what he
gets.
Knglneer Georgs S. Pope, who has
charge of the government's fuel Inspec
tion horvlce, declares that the purchase
of coal on a specification basis in an
Important step toward the conservation
of the mineral resources of the nation,
tor it results la the increased use of tbe
lower f-Mfles of coal. The poorer grades,
he says, find a market by competing with
the better gradeR, not as to the price per
ton, hut as to the cost of an equal num
ber of heat units. .',''-..' !
Engineers of the bureau not only de
termine the quality of the coal purchased
for the government, hut they also investi
gate the type of furnaces used and sug
gest the kind of coal best adapted to
these furnaces. This bag resulted in a
number of tbe foleral buildings discard-'
ing high-priced anthracite for a cheaper'' "
Siade of coal. ! ...
" The statement is made that more than" -.
half of the cities in the United States ' 4
with 100,000 population ar now buj ing
their coal according to specification, and
that they have saved money. The city of ,I
New Terk claims that this plan In a ' ;
