Sergeant O'Flaherty of the Sixteenth
infantry, who was shot through the
body at San Juan hill, is enthusiastic
in his support of General Wheeler's
resolution TO bestow a medal upon Miss
Helen Gould in recognition of her pa
triotism, kindness and liberality to the
sick and wounded of the war. Among
other things in her favor, the sergeant
says, in letter published in. the Wash
ington Post: by a stroke of her pen,
Miss Gould filled the hospitals at Tar
rytown, Nyack, and her own country
house, Woody Crest with the helpless
heroes of San Juan, Ell Caney and the
southern camps. Regulars and volun-
teers were all alike to her. She did not
stop there. She daily visited her pa
TENTS, sent deHcacies from her farm,
grapes from her vineyard, and flowers
from her Conservatives. She was con-
tinually on the 60 from morning until
night. She would inquire of each par
ticular soldier if there was anything
she could get for him. She did not let
her secretary write to the war depart
ment requesting sick furloughs for the
men, but found time to do this work
herself. Her autograph letters, on file
in the army building in New York, will
bear out this statement. She went TO
New York and engaged numerous en-
tertainers, lecturers, singers, actors and
musicians, and would send carriages to
Tarrytown and other places to bring
the convalescents out to her country
home where they were always royalty
entertained, Miss Gould and other Ia

In the meantime the officers, assisted

A large derrick had been burnt through

Women Who Owned Newspapers During

To the women of the revolutionary
period is due as much credit as to
the men who spilled their blood for
the success of the revolution. OF the
thirty-seven newspapers printed in
the American colonies at the time sew
eral were owned and managed by
women. In nearly every case they adj
Yocated the colonial cause, and their
editorials did much to arouse the spir-

Clementine Reid was publishing pa
per in Virginia called the Virginia
Gazette" favoring the colonial cause
and greatly offending the royalists;
two years later Mrs. H. Boyle started
a paper under the same name, advocat-
ing the cause of the crown. Both were
published at Williamsburg and both
were short lived. In 1878 Elizabeth
Timothy started a paper in Charles
ton, S. G. After the revolution Ann
Timothy became it's editor and was
appointed state printer, which position
she held for seventeen years, About
the same time Mary Crouch started a
paper in Charleston, in vigorous oppo-
sition to the stamp act. She after
ward moved it to Salem, Mass, and
continued it's publication for many
years. The first newspaper published
in Rhode Island was owned and edited
by Mrs. Anna Franklin, and establish

wrote the items and set the type, and
their servants worked the printing

ness Mrs. Franklin was appointed
printer to the colony, supplying
pamphlets to the colonial officers.

THE STREET CARS RIVAL.
bicycle Has Certainly Hurt the Railway
Business.

BUSINESS
The annual report of the state
bureau of railways Of Pennsylvania,
which has just been completed, con-
tains several very interesting facts,
among others the statement that the
stock capitalization of street railways
per mile of road is greater than the
average cost of steam railways and
their equipments in the United States.
This is stated to be due in a large
measure to the over-capitalization of
several companies combining, whereby
the amount of stock issued in the con-
solidated company is invariably great
er than the combined capital of the
several companies. Another unlock
ed for fact is brought to light by the
statistics Of the past year, and that
ia that the combined receipts of all the
street railway companies in the state
has largely decreased from that OF
past years. On this point Maj. Brown,
chief of the bureau, says: "In all prob
ability the use of the bicycle by bust

street, Harrisburg, during the month
of October last, are quoted. The OBJ

in the morning to in the evening.
During that time 6,07S persons passed

can only be conjectured.

The universal article OF diet in THAI
country, depended upon and indispens-
able, is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit. either in the
camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot be
used-it must be baking powder; and
the powder manufactured by the pro-
eesses of the Royal Baking Powder
Company. miners and prospectors have
learned, is the only one which will
stand in that peculiar climate OF cold
and dampRess and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the YHken country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
litter to take one of the cheap brands
Of baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens It for use, after all his labor
in packing it over the long and difficult
route, he will find a solid caked mass
or lot of spoiled powder, with no
strength and useless. Such mistake
might lead to the most serious results.
Alaska is no place in which to expert
ment in food, or try to economic with
your stomach. For use in such a
climate, and under the trying and
fatiguing conditions Of life and labor
In that country, everything must be
the best and most useful, and above
all It is imperative that all food sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail
ties 1t is absurd to convey\over such
difficYlt and expensive routes an arti-
Gle that will deteriorate in transit, or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost great part of its
value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
"the father of Alaska" after an expert
ence of years upon the trail, in the
camp, and in the use of every kind OF
supply, says: eve find in Alaska that
the importance of proper kind OF
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with a can Of bad
baking powder is almost helpless in
Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and
have been obliged TO settle down to Hse
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further at first, but above
all things, it is the only powder that
will endure the severe climatic changes
Of the arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the
United States government in its relief
expeditions, and Peary, the famous
arctic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most highly concentrated and eff
cient of leavening agents. Hence it is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit
1t can be had of any of the trading
companies in Alaska, but should the
miner procure rs supplies before leav,
ing, he should resist every attempt Of
the outfitter to palm off upon him any
of the other brands of baking pow
der, for they will spoil and prove the
cause Of great disappointment ant
trouble.
