lies the body of Mary Stevens Jenkins in
the village graveyard of West BIookfield,
and il was decorated on Memorial Day by
the veterans, with hOnOrs equal to those be-
slowed upon any other of the grass grown,
mounds. Mrs. Jenkins, so far as is known,
at least, was the only woman soldier whose
body sleeps in Ohio soil. At the breaking out
of the war she was a Pennsylvania school,
girl, and being infatuated with a young man
who had gone into the service, made up her
mind to follow him. she cut her hair, put
on mans clothes, and succeeded in passing
the mastering officer. For two years she
marched by this young man, shouldering her
musket, and performing every duty required
of men. In some manner they were sep
arated, but she served ont her time was
wounded in several places, and came up to
MahOning County, where she married Abra-
ham Jenkins, who subsequently moved to
his present home near MassillOn. She died
about Is years ago. The husband is as

of the fancied resemblance, he is known far

PATRIOTIC CITIZENSHIP.

Eliza ID. Keith, who led the teachers of the
Pacific Slope in introducing the Flag Salute
into the schools, has written much and we'll
upon the subject of patriotic teaching. She
made an address before the recent Congress OF
Women in San Francisco, her place of residence,
in which she made a strong plea for patriotic
teaching as the foundation Of character among
our boys and girls. The following extracts are
from her able address:
Every American mother must make her child a
baby patriot, proud Of the tiny American flag
which she pins upon his breast as she takes him TO
see The Fourth of July procession.
Each teHcher-a woman teacher remember
take those baby patriots and develop them
into intelligent American citizens More Than that,
the American schoolteacher must plant the first
idea of patriotism in many q little heart INSPIRE

that way that the Mckinley bill WAS
passed, the Sherman bill being the
price paid for the passage Of the
tariff act. II another president had
been in the chair, the tariff and bond
bills which were sandbsgged by the
silver men at the late session would
have passed. But there was no use
in forcing the passage when the pres
ident's veto would have made them
Of no value. The river and harbor
bill. where every member has made
exchange Of principle for spoils, is
another case in point. The amount
involved in such bills has always
been much larger in republican con-
gre sses than in democratic. and
the reason IL to be found in the read
mess Of republican leaders to trade
of principle for either votes or spoil.

rhiiadelpnis Policemen,

Although every Philadelphia police.
man is provided with uniform, helmet,
belt and club by the city, he is forced to
purchase the revolver and black Jack
which go to make up his equipment.
This circumstance is possessed Of legal
significance. Everything that the city
authorizes the policeman to wear or
carry is provided out Of municipal
funds. but the city has no authority to
allow any man to carry concealed weap.
ons This authority is given the police.
men by the courts. However the depart.
ment Of public safety is factor in the
question, because it accepts certain re.
volver as the official weapon Of the po.
lice force. and the policemen are expect.
ed to purchase the official revolver. Per-
sonal taste enters into the purchase in
the way Of embellishments, and some
members Of the force pay from SIS to
$50 for n revolver that can be purchased
bare Of ornaments for IS. The official
black jack is of infinite variety, but al.
ways Of equal utility.-Philadelphia
