MRS. LIZZIE BRYAN.

,of her beautiful horse Starface from
under her at Antietam- Once she was
captured and spent few days at Libby
prison. She had been travelling on
foot and carrying some dispatches in
her boot, when hand was laid on her
shoulder and she was arrested The
man declared that. although she was
in male attire, she was in disguise, and
so was suspicious. She was sent to
Libby prison and searched, but on ac-
count Of her sex was treated with
some consideration, and managed to
get at the dispatches, eat them, and
thus fool the enemy.
She was treated well at the prison,
and when no dispatches were found
she was finally allowed to roam around
and make her way into Georgia. In
all her experience she tells that she
was treated with the utmost kindness
at camp, amusing them with her
dancing and singing. When the war
was over she married, and, although
many were the proposals of marriage
she had received from the army men,
she unfortunately was fooled by a
counterfeiter, who passed himself Of
as an engraver. With him she trsv.
eled abroad; but on his return here he
died and she married a man who
proved to be a gambler. Through him
all the fortune she had saved was
squandered, and he died leaving her
penniless- She had lost her war papers
and could obtain no pension.
So Lizzie Bryan. after her career OF
fighting for the union like man when
she could have lived in luxury, is now
lying deaf and crippled in a county
poorhouse, waiting for the angel Of
death 20 write fms 20 as remarkable
q career as a woman has had in oui

The blue satin dress is of an odd
changeable material, shifting froia
blue to silver and, again, showing pink
lights most unexpectedly. It is

most original fashion and held by two
big pink roses A narrow gold cord

front and edges the low corsage.
Straps Of rosebuds go over the shout.

history. who acted as union spy and
who saved the life of Gen Ulysses S.
Grant, says the New York Recorder.
Years ago, when her father died. she
Inherited small fortune Of SIS. 600, but
the sisters and brothers, who were
older than she, cared little for her, and
she was sent out asa servant on farm
ut Rochester, n. Y. There she shaved
until her eighteenth year, when her
fortune, sadly impaired by bad man
agement and amounting to only $500.
was given to her. With this she came
to New York. to friends, and just be-
fore the war bought two of the famous
horses of Dan Rice's circus. These
horses were named Starface and Ru-
dolph.
Then the war broke out and she en-
listed as a nurse to go the front, and
when she did so Starface accompanied
her. She did not remain long at the
hospital as nurse, because more dar-
ing work was suggested to her, and she
freely placed herself under orders in
the fighting contingent, and from that
hour was a freebooter.
She donned male attire. wore boots
and spurs, acted as orderly and
carried dispatches until the close
of the war. She was three times
wounded, but with no serious result
She wore false sole in her boot, and
IN it were carried the dispatches.
Many times she carried these DIS
patches during an action. riding across
or around the lines amid the flying
shots. She was attached to Gen.
Grants headquarters, and Is enthus-
iastic in speaking Of him even to-day,
as the kindest and best OF generals,
often telling how she amused him by
her dancing in the camp. The most re-
markable night for her was one when
she was crossing the grounds and heard
behind clump of trees voices-recog-
nizing one as that of Gen. Grant.
Closer she crept and managed to get
nearer him. There was an angry de-
bate going on and just as she neared
the general the man with him made a
peculiar movement with his hand and
as he did so she sprang forward and
struck revolver out of his hand. The
man made all sorts of deuials, but six
months afterward Gen. Grant person
ally presented her with gold watch,
telling her he believed she had really
saved his life that night.
The greatest personal loss she suf-
Aored during the war was the shooting

Buy the Unset Stone and Have 1t Mounted
In Some Quaint Design.
With the revival of the birthday
ring-a special stone for each month,
as the legend indicates-a feminine
mania has arisen in regard to settings
1t is no longer the proper thing to
merely make the purchase Of birth
day ring, however expensive. at Jew
eler's. Decidedly newer and more
unique is it to buy the unset stone
diamond. pearls. ruby, sapphire, emer-
aid, onyx or agate, as the birth month
may dictate-and have it mounted as
taste and purse may suggest. For
tunate are those young women whose
artistic friends can suggest to Their
pretty little design for the setting;
others, less blessed. are ransacking
the libr aries and old magazines to find
articles on gems and jewels from
which original and beautiful ideas may
be CLEANED.
Silver has come into great populari.
ty as the proper metal for these birth
day rings-especially for agate, sar-
donyx and the moonstone-and much
fne work In unique settings and beau
tiful chasings has been done.
Whether jewellers approve the fad or
not is theme not to be entered upon
rashly, but the feminine lover of pre-
cious stones has not touched the top
notch in pleasures of this kind until
she has chosen her own birthstone
from a glittering profusion, has suf-
fered mentally over the choice Of ap-
propriate design in setting, and has
awaited patiently that delightful mo-
ment when the stone Of her heart, in
the mounting of her own invention,
shall shine upon her fngey.r

Young Man sandbagged.

A young man, evidently a strang-

lice station that he had been set
upon about II o'clock at night by
a gang Of thieves over near the
city hospital, who sandbagged
him and secured $40 he had in his
pocket.
They are thought to be members
of the gang whom Preston Barnes,
now in Jail for highway robbery
and assault to murder, was con-
nected with. When he was arrested
by the street car men he tried to
rob he whistled long and loud, ev-
identity a signal for his gang to
come to his aid, but they did not
come.

the standard old melo. drama, "The

house last night. Mr.. Haswin,
though inclined to bit Of the

should not be possible, gave the
title role a creditable impersona-

was good, as were one or two

villain, made his only walking
