MANY a grand old man and weather
beaten narine has commanded the
ns abs atasEsz as 4hsh9Gggiszi!ls tGg and
during its long and successful 'es.os-
ence, and none of them in their day
and generation ever dreamed that the
time would coma when a woman
would walk the roof of o steamer IN
the same line, monarch of all she
surveyed"
But the time did come, and it. came
Yesterday. The H. K. Bedford ar
rived from Gin cinnati last evening IN
the service of the company, under
charter, and returned again, and 1t
was novel sight to see woman on
the roof in command OF the boat.
She was Mrs. Mary B. Green, who,
with her husband, Capt. Gordon Green
owns the steamers Bedford and Ar
rand-she in command of one and ne
in command of the other, and both ex-
perienced boatsmen, commanders and
pilots.
Mrs. Green is regularly licensed
master and pilot and her experience
fine Judgment and business ability
place her among the successful people
of the marine fraternity. Mrs. Cap
tain Green met with e cordial recep-
tion here upon the occasion OF her
first visit and trip in the Mail Line
service, and Commodore Laidley cer-
tainly appreciates her services and
abilities or she had not pulled the
biggest string on a steamboat in his
famous line.-Louisville Courier

"Charley" ceased rowing, SO as to keep
the line clear of the bow. About
eighty cod, running from three to
twelve pounds, were gathered on this
trawl, and on the second trawl nearly
one hundred and twenty-five were
taken.
One OF the dories had beaten us back
to the Kitty NJ, although the catch
did not run more than one hundred,
and as we drew alongside this dory
put out again with a new crew and two
of the newly baited travis. "Joe" and
"Charley" threw the fish on deck with
scoops, and then each fish was picked
over and examined. The lively ones
were tossed into the we'll in the centre

the keg was detached and slowed

Taking up the trawl and standing
in the bow this time, "Joe" began to
draw in the line and "Charley" rowed
slowly ahead, according to instruc, ,,

coiled it deftly. so it could be handled
easily and without snarling. Some

Two New Women.

Two of the very latest types OF the
new woman were discovered by q
Pittsburs Dispatch reporter in the
woods back Of Wallis station, on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, last week.
These two women-or rather girls, as
the Oldest does not appear to be over
twenty years of age-have broken in
on the occupation immortalized by
Abraham Lincoln. They split rails
and make pit posts and caps for the
Spring Hill Coal Company, whose
works are between Wilmerding and
Wallis.
Annie and Mary Wilson are the
names of these two new women. They
are sisters. When the reporter made
their acquaintance they were swing
ing an eight-foot cross-cut saw through
an oak tree with apparently as much
ease as some women run typewriter.
They do all the work of telling the
trees, saving them into proper lengths,
and finally with their axes splitting
them into pit posts. They are assist
ed to some extent by their younger
brother. :,
They came from Indiana, where 1t
is common thing for women to work
in the timber. '"rhe work is not hard
when you get used to it," one said,
"and then we can make more split
ting rails and making pit posts IN one
day than we could in week working
in kitchen. What's the difference,
so long as the work is honest no"
one earns living?
although T work hard every day
rain or shine, never get sick. I was
never sick in my life. The people
around here all talk about us, but We
don't care for that. We are earning
good living and don't owe any ones
cent"
BY this time the tree was sawe'
through and ready to split into posts
One Of the girls set an iron wedge int
one end of the log and with a iarg
maui weighing about twenty pound
drove it in, splitting the log from en-
to end The operation was repeate
until the log was split into sizes 10
posts. Then the axes were brough
into play and the posts trimmed u
and shaped.
