HON0RING HEROIC WOMEN.
The Work Of the Daughters of the
a.arsrar aUnsueFou


The daughters of the American Revo-
luton are doing a long-neglected but i'm
portant work by the erection of monu-
ments commemorative of heroic deeds
They do not attempt to set US costly
structures, for it is difficult at all times
and In all countries to raise, by volun-
tary contributions. a large amount OF
money for any monumental purpose. Num-
berless efforts in hat direction have fall
ed. But this patriotic organization marks
the site of great events and honors the
names Of heroes and patriots Of both
sexes with appropriate n enduring
The Daughters living at Lexington, KY,
dedicated a memorial on the 18th ult.
to the brave women Of Bryan Station.
There was a stockade fort at that place
more than a hundred years ago, and in
August, 17T2. 1t was besteged by 500 Indian
braves. The garrison had an ample sup
ply of food and ammunition. but through
some blunder in engineering it had no
water except what was brought by hand
from a spring go feet away. The officer
in command of the fort learned that the
red warriors were in ambush near this
spring, n had a realizing sense of the
fearful suffering that must result from
a protracted seige.
After much consideration and anxious
consultation IT appeared that the only
way to avert the impending disaster was
for the women who had been accustomed
to go to the spring for water TO continue
the practice. The commander OF the gar
rison believed that the Indian chief was
not ready to make an attack, I'M hat
the appearance of the women at the
spring as usual would convince him that
the garrison was unaware of the presence
of the Indians
1t was a great emergency and demanded
superb courage. The women, If they un-
dertook the mission, would have to risk
death by torture or captivity, by going
within sixty feet of the ambushed saw
ages. But a party of thirty or forty
women. led by Jemima Johnson. decided
to go. Each carried a pail. and as she
came out of the fort laughed and sang,
and assumed an air of u%nconcern. Across
canebrake they passed" sanys one &C
count, on to the bubbling spring that
burst out from the foot of the knoll.
Their faces betrayed no fear. their man
ner showed no agitation, their walk was
not q~uickened, though they felt sure that
the guns of 500 savages bore down upon
them. and that not one would survive
a signal of attack. The buckets were
dipped one after another in the spring,
and. loaded with their precious burden,
the brave women returned to the fort.
The women of today are not so new
that they are incapable of appreciatine
the great aualities-the courage to dc
brave deeds and the fortitude to endure
-privation-that characterized the womer
| of the last century-Washington Post.

1t is not really the liquor men but the
Law and Order League who have been
On trial fer the last day or two at the
Court House. and the verdict is clearly
against the defendants. For the purpose
Of imposing their own narrow views upon
the community, the members of this body
employed a number of persons, some of
whom. at least, are of bad character.
These went through the motions of pro-
found. On the trials, a disgusting mass
of perjury. mingled with a small amount
of. truth, was developed. The triad
juries in the vast majority of cases
promptly returned verdicts OF acquittal.
and the accused liquor men went free. In
one or two of the cases of conviction, the
victims were among the most respectable
liquor dealers in the county, men who
conduct orderly places frequented by the
best class of citizens. On the occasions
which gave rise to their prosecution, they
were, from any common sense point of
view. catering to the needs of the travel
ling public.
Here Is the outrage Of the whole pro-
ceeding. Here is the evil of these hys-
~terscai. amateur outbursts of persecution.
The whole proceeding is a gross niscar-
risge Of justice. Those low ~dive-keepers
who really do harm in the community
were never scathed by it. They took
the chances and were not interfered
with, because there was not enough ad-
vertising to be got out of a raid on a
cheap saloon. But a number of better
class men who earnestly strive to run
their business so as to dc no harm are
subjected to the disgrace Of an Indictment
and b expense and inconvenience of de-
Tending themselves. One or two OF
them, besides. are capricioaisly convicted
There Is no good reason Why they should
be. The evidence is no stronger against
them han others but the jury happens
to be a trihe narrower.
Such prosecutions as these do much
harm. They lessen the respect for law
and they create a feeling Of revolt agains
government as a sort OF rapricious tyran
NY. They are harmful not only becaus'
they injure individuals, but because the,
impair the moral tone Of the whole com
munity. They should be frowned Of
and discouraged in every way by goo
citizens.

morning while lying in the Cob dock
in Brooklyn navy yard waiting repairs.
One of her sea cocks blew out causing
a rush of water into the ships hold.
The Texas settled considerably in the
water and listed little TO the starhoard.
The accident was due TO the breaking
of the yoke which holds in place the
bonnet Of the main injeotive valve, situs
ated in the engine room. AS this ins
ective valve, or pipe, runs directly
through the ship to the bottom the water
had direct passage into the body Of the
ship.
The ship lies.on the mud where she
sank few minutes after the water
began filing her engine rooms. All the
water has been pumped cut Of her. and
the work of putting in yoke on the
broken valve will be an easy matter.
Washington, November 9.-This after
noon Secretary Herbert ordered a court
Of inquiry to investigate the sinking Of
the Texas, and fix the responsibility for
the accident. The court will meet at the
