A REVOLUTIONARY EPISODE.

Massachusetts Discovery-Finding a SLiele-
ton Which Has Long Been Vainly Sought.
Bos ton Special.
great sensation has been caused in the
quiet town of Winthrop, Boston Harbor, by
the discovery, day or two since, of the
skeleton of British officer who was at
tached to a cruiser during the revolutionary
war and lost his life while in command of q
cutters crew and detail of marines sent out
to intercept and capture party of Marble
head fishermen, who were proceeding to
their homes after having laid in a supplv of
provisions, ETC., at Boston. Mr.. john Belcher
and other old relatives of Winthrop possess
notes and papers written soon after and Civ
ing details of the officers death. For many
years it has been known that the body was
buried Whereabouts and the locality has been
examined time and again, but the exact place
of the lnterment remained a mystery until
now The discovery was made py workmen
engaged in eXcavating for a cellar on the es-
tate of G.. Howard Wood, at Sunnyside a
part of the town which lies opposite Apple
island. The men had reached depth of
four feet when they suddenly laid bare the
feet OF the skeleton, A further examna-
ton, however, revealed the fact that the
body laid in such position that the rest OF
the skeleton was inferred directly beneath a
high stone wall. which had been afterwards
built over it. Work was temporarily suS-
pended, and after a consultation with the
proprietor it was decided to let the skeleton
remain where it was, rather than go to the
expense of removing the stone wall. Rev.
p. Coles, of the Methodist Church, however,
actively interested himself in the matter,
and received permission to continue the
work.
He accordingly engaged Mr.. Mayo, re-
tired sea captain, and Mr., John Wadsworth,
an old fisherman to proceed with the work
of. elimination. They removed the wall,
and, after a tew hours further labor, sue

was found reclining on a thick plank at a
depth of between three and four feet. The
soil in which it was buried was soft, damp
blne clay, which accounts for the excellent
state OF preservation in which the remains
we're found. The skeleton was that OF man

Women as Physicians.

10 The Editor OF the INDIANAPOLIS Journai
Since the appointment of DIR. Sarah Stock
ton to position connected with the medical
department of this hospital, 1 am in receipt
of several letters, critcising, unfavorably,
this action of DIR. Fletcher, and asking my
views on the matter in question: With
your permission l would reply through the
Journal.
l am on record in favor of this appoint
ment as expressed in a paper presented to
the Marion County Medical Society in Sep
tember ana printed in the Indiana Medical
Journal, Oct. %, 1888.
No enc should condemn this appointment
A well-educated, competent woman, in any
profession or vocation, is entitled to the same
respectful consideration as is extended to a
man of the same attainments | indorse
this appointment not that it is conferred
upon a woman but because ii is given TO a
competent woman.
Dr. Stockton as | understand, is not to be
a resident member of the staff, but to be
called when her services are deemed neoes-
sary as ''consultant" by the supenntend-
ent or by any physician serving i'll the de-
partment for women of this hospital.
am not one of those who believe that all
mental and nervous diseases and disorders
among women are produced by arrangements
of the reproductive organs, and hence those
who favor the appointment of women as
physicians to treat insane women must not
be too sanguine OF results.
/ feel that the appointment of DR.. Stock
ton is a wise procedure, and those who OPP
pose it now WILL after the lapse of time, see
nothing to condemn. She is competent,
reputable, and has made the diseases Incl
dent to women a special study, SO hope my
professional brethren who have written to
me will be manly enough, at any rate, to
give her as fair chance as has been extended
to the men attached to the staff of this hos
pital. A. j. THOMAS,

III tell the story of kid
Who always did as he was bid
Upon the burning deck he stood.
As firm and steady as he could.
AS If he to the plaDks were glued;
He always did as he was bued.
With smoke and shot was filled the air,
Upon Its end stood Casy's hair.
Still at his post the small boy staid;
He always did as he as bald.
About him fast fell sailors bold,
For English tars the day was cold.
He would not leave, this sandy lad,
Who always did as he was bad,
"May yet l go?'' at last he cried.
To him no answering voice replied,
For with the first his father died,
So did the boy as he was hide
Then came burst of thunder sound,
The air was fl. led for miles around,
With disrupted men the sun was hid,
Likewise with fragments of the kid.
Upon the sea the wreck was strowed,
And easy up to heaven was blOwed.
He always did as he was bowed.

Washington Women Determined That She
Shall Never BE Presidents Wife.
Washington Letter.
Mrs. Blaine, with her usual tact, made her
self the subject of good deal of comment
the diplomatic gallery with her daughter and
Miss Loring and asking for admttance. 1t
is the custom on days when there is likely to
be a crowd at the House, to reserve this gal
lery for the diplomats until y o'clock, and
then throw it open to those having cards
from members. Mrs Blaine reached the
gallery about II o'clock, and pressed through
the crowd without any card. The door
keeper, of course, refused to open the door
for her. Mrs. Blaine said: But am Mrs.
Blaine" II cannot help that, madam. My
orders are to keep 40 door closed until 10
O'clock" Mrs. Il anne AT tins sank back
against the wall-a iayOrte position with
her at a reception or ,isewhere. About a
quarter of 70, Floyd King, the representa-
tive of q very unfortunate Louisiana district
appeared at the gallery with Mrs. Gen. Rick
etts. King with his usual disregard of the
simplest rules Of politeness, crowded away
ladies who were entitled to admission to the
gallery, and, uniting his forces with Mrs
Blaine's they crowded, and crushed and
stormed the doors, and entered the gallery in
spite of the door-keeper. The crush they
caused was so great that two ladies tainted
away, and one was so badly hurt that the
tears came in spite of her efforts to keep them
back 1t is such pleasant little episodes in
Mrs. Blaine's career in Washington that have
done more to injure her husband POLITICAL V
than anything else. The ladies never in
tend that Mrs. Blaine shall be at the head of
society,"
