 TO SAVE THE NORTH.
Exciting Career of Pauline Cushman, Actress and Spy-Lies Buried in San Fran cisco Cemetery

city of graceful and beautiful women. From her parents she inherited the charms of face and figure, the ardent, impulsive, emotional temperament, the brilliancy of intellect, and the fascfna- ton of manner, which particularly fitted her for the role she was destined to play in the drama of the preserva- tiOn of our Union.
 An early removal to Grand Rapids, Michigan, gave Pauline the advantage of childhood and youth spent amid surroundings which developed the lat ent force of her character, and so strengthened her physically that the delicate Southern-born girl soon rivaled her Northern mates in vigorous health.
 Carefully educated, and environed by the somewhat irksome though entirely loving watchfulness characteristic of high class Southern households, the elf-like child grew into a eirlhood so beautiful that she became the envy of her girl friends and an anxiety to those who love her best. She early showed an impatience of control and an independence of spirit which marked her strong individuality, and when she arrived at the age of IS a girlish re- bellion occurred against domestic rules and regulations.
 Quite against the wishes of her right full guardians, who shrank from the idea of a public career for their idol ized daughter Miss Cushman insisted upon entering the theatrical profession for which she felt herself particularly fitted. Being fortunate enough to find manager who recognized and appre- ciated her undoubted talent, she was soon advanced to the front rank of vaudeville actresses, depending upon her Southern birth to gain her the ini- tial good will of her audiences, made many trips alone the Southern circuit of that day, and established herself as public on the lower side of what was afterward known as Mason and Dix on's line.
 When war was declared Miss Cush- man was playing a successful engage ment through the Middle and Western States, but went South the next year playing in those cities which had not as yet ranged themselves openly and boldly on the side of the Confederacy. Having always, for professional req sons, made boast of her Southern birth, the charming actress was sup posed to be at heart an adherent of the
 Stars and Bars, and in every town where she appeared she attracted around her a circle of Southern sympa- thizers who delighted in showing her all possible attention in public and private. and doing everything in their power to prove their admiration of her and her supposed sentiments
 In March, 1863, came the turning point in Pauline Cushman's life. Here tofore she had been only an ordinarily successful actress, earning good salary and living in careless ease. courted, fattered and envied as those who are young, beautiful and fortunate always are. She had never experienced a hardship nor known a real trouble: her ways had all been ways of pleas antness, and she had lived like a but

 After the departure of the first fleet the next vessels to leave this port were the Bennington and Mohican. These are both in all probability now at Hon. olulu. Then followed the Monterey and the collier Brutus. These went first to San Diego and left there few days before the second fleet of transports passed out of Golden Gate.
 The four vessels that left here on |last Wednesday, the 18th, were the China, Colon, Zealandia and Senator. Among them they carried about 400O men.
 These vessels will proceed at the rate of about ten knots an hour. As it is POO miles from here to Honolulu, the troop ships should reach there about June 23. It may be that the trans ports will catch up with the Monterey before reaching Honolulu, in which case all will proceed together.
 At Honolulu coal will be taken aboard

THE Civil War bequeathed to us
 a list of nearly 400 women who,
 during those four years of inter
 necine strife, served the Federal
 Government either as soldiers or as scouts or spies. In the records of the War Department in Washington there are preserved the dry bones of many romances that sprang from woman's love of her country love of some one of its brave defenders, or love of rov- ing and adventure, and an overmaster- ing desire to be a part of the stirring events of the time instead of mere looker-on.
 Many a woman fought bravely under the Union flag, and only returned to the ways of peace when the war was over. or when a wound sent her to the hospital and betrayed her secret. And doubtless where so many are on rec ord there must have been some who were fortunate enough to carry out their deception without detection, so that the names handed down to us probably by no means represent the entire feminine fighting force of the Northern army.
 The spirit that could impel woman to leave her usual place in the world and her ordinary avocations for the hard fare of a soldier, the rough life of the camp, and the horrors and dan gers of the battlefield, was brave one, no matter what the underlying motive may have been. But 1t was braver spirit still that led not a few feminine patriots to take up branch of service in which all the perils of war are incurred without the hope of gain ing any of Its glory-a service which is as necessary to the army as 1t is hazardous to the individual perform ing 1t.
 Of the small band of women who were of material assistance in the 'se- cret" branch of governmental work there were none more faithful, more efficient, and more worthy of the grate- full remembrance of her countrymen than one who sleeps, undisturbed by the war alarms of the present, in the Grand Army plat of the City Cemetery in San Francisco.
 Pauline Cushman" this heroine liked to be called, even in the later days when another name was hers by right; for it was as Pauline Cushman that she won popularity in her youth, and af- terward distinguished herself by her devotion to her country in its hour of need. And best of all did she like to be addressed by her rlght1ul tltle or major, since she earned her commits sion-signed by the martyred Lincoln himself-by deeds of daring which gained her at the time not only the ad- miration of the army of the Cumber- land, to which she was attached, but of the entire country as we'll

 As the exact state of affairs at this point is now unknown the movements of the vessels cannot be definitely stat ed. It may be that there has been trouble there and that the first fleet had some fighting to do. In that case the second fleet may have to remain there for some time.

MIR. GARY'S RETIREMENT.
Senator Wellington Says He Was Not in Har-
 mony With the Administration.

Boston, Mass, April 21.-The Transcript publishes the following Washington spe- cial
 Throwing MT. Gary as I do," said Senator Wellington to your correspondent this morning, 1T feel safe in venturing the as- sertion that he resigned because he is ab- soutely out of harmony with the admin istration of the war policy"
 Senator Wellington, 1t will be recalled, was one of Mr. Gary's packers for cab- net honors. and probably stands close enough to him to make this opinion of some value. MT. Gary has been from the outset a strong peace man, Is in thorough accord with the business interests of his state (Maryland), which, as will be recalled in connection with the recent struggle in the senate, has been peace state from start to finish in the Cuban matter, and there have been practically no partisan divisions on this question. Mir. German, the Bryan democratic spokesman, Is an opportunist and tlme-server, and was shrewd enough to see that the people behind him wanted no war if they could prevent it. MT. Yelling ton, the republican machine senator, with a clever apprehension of the inns and outs of public sentiment of Maryland has been peace extremist all through this troubled season. To leave the Mckinley cabinet at this juncture required courage of a peculiar sort in the postmaster-g general for its meaning was bound to be promptly recog- nlzed by the people, and MT. Gary has re- lations with the nation at large, including the warrior element in the population, as well as with his own state. It was the most forcible form into which he could put his protest. and 1t will call down upon him great deal of ignorant and captlous criti- cism, which no diplomatic explanations as- signing ''prvate business 'or other like grounds For his retirement will be able to disspate.

RAILROAD NOTES.

It is going to be serious question within the next few weeks how the railroads will be able to handle all the troops that will assemble at Chickamauga Park. Already the Southern and the Alabama Great Southern are holding back their cars, ex- pecting at any minute to receive orders for transporting the national guard to Chickamauga, and they will not even alloy their cars to be used for excursion pur- poses. When the camp at that park Is broken up 1t will be severe test for the two or three roads leading south from Chattanooga to handle them. If. the troops are to be transported from Mobile or New Orleans, nearly all of them will pass through Birmingham, but if from Tampa Or from any of the Atlantic ports, then they will pass through Atlanta.
 The Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia Air Line, fast freight line operating out of the principal cities of the east via Norfolk to all southern territory, has given notice war risks on that line between New York and Norfolk This line delivers in Bir- mingham through the Alabama Great Southern.
 The following changes on the Southern have been unofficially announced to take place shortly: w. R. Beauprie, at present the superintendent of the road at Macon has resigned and A. Gordon Jones, now Superintendent of the Anniston division will take his place. MT. Ewin, trainmaster at Asheville, N. C., will relieve Mr. Jones.

  HARD LUCK THE CAUSE
Haer's Men Were Unable to Connect With the Sphere When Hits Meant Runs.
 Posner Pitched Great Game.
SOUTHERN LEAGUE STANDING
Special to The Age-Herald.

Atlanta, April 23-Atlanta shut Birming- ham out today, and in consequence the fans are elated. Sheridan holds his job and the directors of the home team are all smiles Birmingham simply failed to connect with the ball. when connection meant a run. If they won the first game by luck, they surely lost today's game from the same cause. Posner pitched a great game striking out seven men, but in the second and third innings his support was ragged and Atlanta piled up five runs. In the fifth Montgomery knocked the ball out of the lot with one man on base. All of Atlanta's runs were made in three innings and so were all of Birminghams errors Bayers, who was injured recently was in the game today and seemed to inspire the home team to better work. Parvin pitched a fine game and was given phenomenal support at times. Much kicking was in dulged in against Umpire Mcfarland, who changed his decisions frequently He was unsatisfactory to both teams, although his actions had no effect on the result of the game.

FACTS ABOUT WHIsKEY.
Something of Interest to All Consumers. The Danger of Adulteration and
 How to Avoid 1t.

No subject has been more widely and more exhaustively discussed in the columns of newspapers and periodicals of all kinds, both in this country and abroad, than that of adulteration.
 The causes which led to the investigation and discussion of this matter were found in the widespread adulteration of liquor. This evil grew, to such proportions as to not only prove a menace to health but to be- come in fact, the foundation of many ail- ments which aff1ict manlJnd
 Plenty of whisky that leaves the dis 'illery pure is in a dangerous state of adulteratlon before it is handed out to the consumer. Every consumer of whisky, whether for refreshment or medicinal purposes, must make up his mind that whisky, like the little girl with curl" is "very, very good" or else "horrid."
 "uayner's seven-year-old Double Copper Distilled Rye" is the "very, very good" kind. To protect it from adulteration by middlemen and dealers and to save their profits, this absolutely pure whisky is sold direct from distiller to consumer. This method of selling positively prevents the tampering of a second or third party.
 A searching chemical analysis will prove that "Hayner's seven-year-od Double Copper Distilled Rye" is absolutely pure.
 The palpable saving in purchasing direct is shown in the offer of the Hayner Dis tilling company the manufacturers of this brand, who are located at 472 to AIS West Fifth street, Dayton, O.
 They are sending, express prepaid, four full quart bottles of this choice whisky for s320

GRAND GATHERING
Of Sunday Schools Takes Place at the Audito-
 rum This Afternoon.

The grand gathering of Sunday schools at the Auditorium this afternoon promises to be one of the most imposing sights ever witessed in Birmingham.
 The spacious Auditorium has been amply provided with chairs and benches, but it is doubtful wether the immense crowd can be accommodated. Applications for over 9,400 seats for Sunday schools alone have been filed with the committee
 The doors will be opened at 230 and the schools and public will begin to enter im- mediately and will be assigned to seats by usherS
 When the schools have all entered the services will begin. The order of service with hymns printed in full will be distrib- uted to each person.
 It is believed that the gathering will re- suit in much good in increasing interest in Sunday school work

EYE QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE. E Where American Ships Can Fill Their Coal
 Bunkers.

sf Washington, April 23.-The navy depart mentis prepared to take immediate advant- age of any action of congress in the di- rection of providing for coal depots, and has already outlined plans for establishing Such depots, and has ascertained the feasi- bility of stocking them at very short notice. The attitude of the British government upon the question of making coal contra band is awaited with keen interest.
 Operating from the south of Cuba, as our ships must necessarily do if anything like a complete blockade Is to be maintained, the problem of supplying them with coal is a question of the greatest importance. This may be done expensvey and uncertainty, owing to the danger of forage by the ene tny's ships, though the United States steamer colliers sent from the United States. It is highly desirable, however, in, an emergency that our ships may have an opportunity to draw upon some of the British coal supply in the West Indies. It Is believed, however, owing to the guarded manner in which MT. Baifour replied to the direct question to make coal contraband that Great Britain will adopt a middle course. She will probably refuse to al- low any of the warships of the combatants to take on a full supply of coal at any British coast. but on the other hand she may probably allow such ships arriving at her ports short of coal to take on a supply sufficient to take them to their next port, thus applying the common rule of neutrality.
 The decision of the British government that the Spanish cruiser Audaz, now under repairs at Queenstown, cannot be detained under the neutrality laws is not without some benefit to the United States, inasmuch As we now have the torpedo boat Somers, purchased from Germany, in dock at Fal- mouth, England, repairing damages sus- tafned in the passage over from Germany. Thel> was some fear that she would be subject to detention.
