SHOT AS A SPY.
Fate Off Young Woman Who Was
Given n Drnmhead Trial.

We had crossed the river to hunt for Lee
and give him battle in the Wilderness
Darkness was just settling down, and the
advance had halted for the night when a
squad Of cavalry brought in a young man
from our front He wore mixed uniform,
as did most of the Confederates at that day,
or as did most of those belonging to the
partisan commands. He had on blue
trousers, butternut jacket. and his hat
belonged to neither side. They said he was
spy. They said it carelessiy enough, hut
there was an awful significance in the term
at that hour. In camp he would have been
searched, Intercepted, and Imprisoned. 1t
might have been weeks before his trial,
and he would have been allowed every
chance for lis life.
We were on the march. There had been
hghting. There would be more tomorrow.
That meant a drumhead trial for the spy.
How speedily everything was arranged!
l was at headquarters and saw and heard 1t
all. Within half an hour a cOurt-MartIal
was onvened-grave-faced officers who
looked into the face Of the young man at
first with interest, then with something like
admiration. | said a young mani was
wrong. He was a boy Of II or Is. He had

What regiment?"
No reply.
Are you a citizen or soldier?"
No reply.
Can you make any defense to the charge
OF being spy?
No reply.
Inc officers looked at each other and
nodded, and the President waved his hand.
1t didn't seem minute before file of sol
diers came. The face OF the boy grew
white, but ne moved like one in a dream.
Ills big blue eyes looked upon one after an
other as il searching for friend, and my
heart yearned 10 cry out that lie was only
Doy and ought to be given more time.

the darkness.

they looked around in a dazed way. 1
wanted to shout to the boy and warn him
that II was not even yet too late to prove
that he was not what they believed him TO
be. but the grlmness OF the scene parched

standing after the Columbian exposition
is thing of the past it could hardly be
utilized for any such patriotic purpose
until the country has produced a race of
orators with voices equal to a hundred
Atlantic steamship foghorns.
Dry statistics will afford no concep
ton of the vastness of this great shell,
for that is about all it is at the present
time, but it may be told that when it is
finished there will be within it and with
out it more than seventeen million feet
of lumber and nearly that number of
pounds of steel, that the steel arches
average half a million pounds in weight,
and that from the floor to the center
span of the roof there is distance of
two hundred and fifty feet.
And yet, wonderful to relate, and af-
fording a striking illustration of the
universal interest manifested in the en-
terprise, every foot of space in the build

her charge. In vacation she made up
the studies lost in her absence and was
graduated with her class, receiving one
of the commencement honors given that
year at Ann Arbor for the last time.
After graduation Miss Freeman taught
three years in Geneva Lake seminary,
near Chicago, and studied for her mas
ter's degree, which she received in 1877.
Then she became preceptress of fitting
school in East Saginaw, Mich, remain
ing two years, until her call to Welles-
ley. Her work there as professor of his
tory was of high order, and personally
she endeared herself to the students
under her instruction. When she was
made president her splendid executive
ability became evident. 1t was heavy
burden that she had to assume, but,
though not strong physically, she stood
the strain well. She laughingly says
that her college life accustomed her to
the hardest kind of work.
In 1888 Michigan university conferred
upon her the degree of Phi. D., and in
1887 Columbia college added Lift. D..
In January. 1888, her work as Welles-
ley's president was laid aside and her
marriage with Professor George Her
bert Palmer, of the department Of phi

losophy at Harvard college, took place.
But her educational labors are by no
means ended. She is trustee of Wei
lesley, an active member of the Massa-
chusetts state board Of education, ap-
pointed thereto in 1890, and has recently
been made one of the board of five edu
cational representative of Massachusetts
at the Worlds Columbian exposition.
From 1876 until 1888 Miss Shafer had
been quietly and constantly building
up the department of mathematics at
Wellesley, until it was second to none
in strength and Importance. In the lat
ter year she laid the work down to as
sumo the presidents duties.
A native of Newark, N. j., Miss Sha-
fer is nevertheless to be considered
western woman, for her family moved
west when she was but a child. She
was fitted at home and at private schools
for Oberlin college, the first, or one of
the first, to open it's doors to women. She
was graduated from there in 1868, and
later received the degree of M. A. from
the same institution. She was known
at Oberlin as a brilliant student in
mathematics and a superior writer of
fine essays. She taught ten years in st.
Louis, where her excellent work gave
her a reputation and associated her
with such educators as DR.. William T,
Harris and Professor G.. H. Howison.
A short rest followed this labor and
then she went to Wellesley. There she
was one of the academic council, the
legislative body Of the college, comprised
of the head of departments, including
the professors and associate professors.
In this body of bright women she be-
came prominent and there was great
satisfaction at her appointment to the
presidency. While professor she was
widely known outside as brilliant and
able mathematician, and one of the
professors at Harvard said on her Access
sion to the Office she now holds, speak
ing Of her ability to understand mathe-
MATES, II did not know that women
had achieved such proficiency until ]
had studied the work of Professor Sha-
fer"
This present president of Wellesley is
possessed of superior executive ability,
skill in presiding and many social gifts.
She is an enthusiast in her profession
no light qualification for the head of
school which sends out scores of teach
ers yearly over the country. In appear
ance Miss Shafer is tall and command
ing, with dark eyes and hair, most
pleasant face and winning smile. Her
students are devoted to her, and her
teachers trust her while they are ably
seconding her efforts to meet all the de-
mands upon SO rapidly growing an insti-
tuition as Wellesley.

A Thousand Men working on a Single
Worlds Fair Building.
Especial Correspondence
CHICAGO, July 21.-One day last week
there were within a score Of 1000 men
working in one way or another upon
one of the big structures at the Worlds
fair grounds. A thousand souls equal
to the population of many town in
Illinois and Iowa, to say nothing of other
states, that has Its two or three weekly
papers and perchanc its daily, and that
considers itself something of a star in
the armament of municipalities that go
to make up its commonwealth. A thou
sand souls! men of all nations, Hunga-
rians and poles, Germans and French,
Swiss and Austrians, English and native
Americans Folyglot collection that
would rival the pay roll of the tower Of
Babel if they all with one accord COM
menced to speak in their native tongues.
And this manufactures building is
going to be wonder. Nothing APP
preaching it has ever been attempted
before and the men who designed it and
the contractors that are carrying out
their designs ven ture the prediction that
nothing SURPRISING it will ever be at
tempted in the future. All the towers,
all the amphitheaters, all the other nov
elites that have from time to time been
projected as special attractions, on the
side, to the one great event of next year,
are dwarfed into insignifcance by this
monster triumph of architectural skill.
All the buildings proper of the Cen
tennial exposition could be put inside of
it, and yet there would be room and to
spare, for its roof covers nearly thirty
one acres of ground, to say nothing of
the thirteen or more additional acres of
space that will bc afforded by the bal
comics.
It would be great place in which to
hold national convention of one of the
two great parties, for nearly third of a
million people could be seated within
i4s enur walis. huf even if it remained
