HEROISM OF A WIDOW.
General Schoield's Recognition of tn
Bravery of q Southern omar

General Schofields Recognition of the
Bravery of q Southern Woman.
1t was on the first and second days Of
September, 1864, General Hardee Of
the southern forces, was sent to Jones'
boro from Atlanta with 90, 600 men to
head off a formidable flank movement
Of the enemy which had for its purpose
to cut off southern communication II
thereby compel he evacuation OF the
city of Atlanta. The flank movement
consisted of 40, 900 or 45, 900 men and
was commanded chiefly by Major Cen
eral John M. Schotie!d, together with
General Sedgwick, who was also a corps
commander, and consisted Of the best
fighters of the Federal army.
As the two armies confronted each
other two miles to the north and north
west of JOnesboro, it SO happened that
the little house and farm of a poor old
widow Was just between the two lines
Of battle when the conflict opened, and
having nowhere TO 80 she was neces-
sarily caught between the fire Of the two
commanding lines of battle, which were
at comparatively close range and doing
fierce and deadly work. The house and
home Of this old lady was soon convert
cd into a federal hospital, and with the
varying fortunes she was alternately
within the lines of each cOntending
army, when not between them on dis
puted ground. So the battle ragged all
day, and the wounded and dying of both
armies We're carried to the humble shell
ter Of this old lady until her yard and
premises were literally strewn with the
dead and dying of both armies.
During tie whole of this eventful day
this good and brave woman, exposed as
she was TO the inceSsant showers Of shot
and shell from both sides, moved fear
lessly about among the wounded and
dying of both sides alike, and without
making the slightest distinction. Final
ly night closed the scene with General
Schotield's army corps III possession of
the ground, and when the morning
dawned it found this grand old lady still
at her post of duty, knowing, too, as
she did, the fortunes, or rather misfor-
tunes, Of war had stripped her of the
last vestige of property h had except
her little tract Of land which had been
laid waste. Now it was that General
John NJ. Schofield, having known of her
suffering and destitute condition, sent
her under escort and arms a large wagon
load Of provisions and supplies, and
caused his adjutant general to write her
a long and touching letter of thanks,
and wound up the letter with a special
request that she keep it till the war was
over and present it to the United States
government and they would repay all
her losses.
She kept the letter and soon after the
southern claims commission was estab-
lished she brought it to the writer, who
presented her claim in due form, and
she was awarded about SOCIAL she
claimed, but not being all she lost. That
letter is now on file with other proofs Of
the exact truth of this statement with
the files of the southern claims commits
sion at Washington.
Her name was Allie McPeek and she
died several years ago.-Atlanta Con

PRIVATE
New York Milionaires' Call Numbers Are
Not Public Property.

Not Public Property.
There are some very aristocratic tele-
phone owners in the city, but a study Of
the telephone directory supplied for the
use Of the general public does not reveal
this fact. This is done purposely. 1t is
no use getting mad if, when you ask
for MI. Crpsus Vanderbilt's telephone
number the girl at the other end asks if
you don't know it. When you say that
you don't know it or try to fool her and
say you did have it, but lost the memo
randum, she will answer back, I'VE
cannot give you Mr.. Cr9sus Wander
bilt's house unless you know the num-
ber."
The fact Of it is the girl would be
breaking strict rules Of the company if
she gave this information. There are a
good many ~millionaires and prominent
society families who have telephones in
their residences, but they are for private
use. Only the friends Of the head of the
house and a few other persons know the
number. The mistress Of the mansion
leaves the number with her friends, AND
in exchange receives their numbers. She
also leaves her number with the head Of
the hospital where she happens to be OIL
the managing committee.
This exclusive system is adopted il
order that outsiders cannot annoy Mr.
Millionaire by ringing him up on thu
telephone. The men who have tcle
phones put into their palaces do SO witt
the proviso that their names and tele
, phone numbers shall not appear in tn
directory New York World.
