HEROISM OF WOMEN.
Instances of Courage and Bravery of Wo-
men In the Johnstown Disaster.

Instances of Courage and Bravery of Wo-
men IN the Johnstown Disaster
The press has given the public the
story of the unparalleled destruction
caused by the great food in Pennsyl-
vania Every chord Of human feeling
has been thrilled, says a writer in the
Woman's Journal. by the tragic cir
cumstances OF that awful disaster. The
generous courage Of many men, and
the greedy hunt for plunder from the
dead by others. with all the attendant
horrors, have been told in the papers of
the day. But out Of all the ruin and
loss Of property and life, and over all
the agony which rent SO many thousand
hearts, there rise clear and beautiful
instances Of heroism which prove
(even III contrast with the depravity
shown SIDE by side with them) the
nobility of human nature The finest
of these occur among women.
The woman who stood at her tcle-
graph, sending dispatch after dispatch
to warn the people below, when urged
70 fec for hor own safety, said: MY
Huntsville gazette., 1889-07-20

life is worth more here;" and she stood
st her post. using the wire to save
others. till the swelling hood made this
impossible, and then, just flashing the
words. This is my last dispatch. y she
was washed away
Another woman had kept the tele-
graph offices Of JohnstoWn and Bed
ford Springs for many years, rs the
Ledger says, ''for the greater part of
her lifetime-about thirty years and
her comely person and pleasant ways
were known to many travellers and
visitors to those places" She was at
her post in Johnstown that fatal Fri
day afternoon when the waters began
to rise. She had sent a report OF the
condition of affairs near her office and
residence, saying that she had been
compelled to 60 up to the second story,
but with no thought of fight. When
another call was made upon her for
further information, no answer came;
and later, far down the valley, her
dead body was recovered from the
food.
There were many illustrations Of the
mother-love that is everywhere where
mothers are. Among the most touching
are those of the mother who put her
seven children out Of the attic window
one by one, on to driftwood, and fifteen
hours later was herself gathered alive
out of the wreck, with not child
saved; and that Of the mother who,
clinging with her two children to the
roof of her house, as it was swept
along, had rope thrown by which she
might have saved herself if she would
have left her children. But TO this
friendly offer she only sadly shook her
head, stayed with her little ones, and
went down the roaring flood.
One reflects with sorrow that in this
country the sex to which such actions
are possible are compelled, as children
are, to be governed by laws they have
no voice in making. The meanest man
has a vote; the noblest woman has
none. The man guilty OF an infamous
crime is temporarily made the political
equal Of women, who, without being
guilty OF any crime, are permanently
disfranchised. So we make history.
