Two HerOines of the War.

Miss Margaret Livingston Chanler and Miss Anna Bouigny will probably receive gold medals in recognition of their work for ill and wounded soldiers in Puerto Rico. The war department has recommended that this be done, and a special act of congress will probably do it.
 The young women landed from trans pert on July 31, and al once began caring for the i'll in Ponce, in connection with the Spanish Red Cross. Entire charge of the nursing was soon in their hands. Miss Chanler hired house for use as a hospital. It was too small, and she hired a larger one, to which sne afterward added another.
 Misses Chanler and Bouigny remained until September T. caring for officers and men, with no assistance except that of un- trained soldiers and Puerto Rican servants. Trained nurses arrived on September ', and the hospitals were turned over to them, Miss Chanler providing means for continu- ing the rental and running expenses

that an answer is presented by the bluster of half-bred bully, enriched by the verbal indecencies that are only heard in the slums the public knowledge of the com missary general is made complete It is evident that he is without the slightest conception of either personal decencies or official sef-respect.
 One of the most depressing aspects of such disclosure is its incidental light on the environment A year ago we would have taken it for granted that if any wit ness before an Investigating body had made such display of verbal filth he would have been promptly abated with chloride of lime or whatever other disnfectant was most available. A year ago we would have ex- pected any army officer making such a public display of himself as a blackguard to be cashiered for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman That the board of inquiry permitted the language to go un- rebuked removes any remnants of public respect for that body. We may be sure that if a witness on the other side had made any such departure into the vocabulary of filth he would have been promptly SUD- pressed.
 Still no one will now say that the inves- tigation is without results. The evidence which Eagan has furnished in his own per- son, of the character of the man at the head of the most important administrative department of the army. is a great deal more than the public asked for.

A Colored Mamma" of the
 Old Reuime Passes Away

Henrietta Bacon (better known as Aunt RittaD died Sunday night at Il o'clock at the residence of Mir. and Mrs. John w. Sib- ley on the South Highlands. She was up- wards of 100 years of age, and succumbed to an attack of grippe after an illness of two weeks.
 She has been in Mrs. Sibley's family for four generations, having served her grandmothers waiting maid in her young ladyhood. She was a genuine type of the ante bellum southern negro, whose loyalty and devotion to her mistress was beautiful and unwavering. When the slaves were emancipated she refused to leave her mis- tress, and unon her death her allegiance was transferred to the daughter CMrs Sib- ley), and has remained with her constant ly to the present time. The family has cared for her as tenderly as one of their own blood, and mourn her departure with keen regret, realizing that her type is fast disappearing. One of the sweetest incl dents of her old age was the sitting for picture last year with little Hettie Sib,ey the great granddaughter of her first mis- tress, thus linking together the dawn and close of the century. Her remains will be carried back to Georgia this morning and laid to rest in the family burying ground. As Is the case with most of her class she was deeply religious, and died happy in her faith.
 A simple service was held over her re- mains yesterday afternoon Up to the time of her death she was still energetic and took an active part in the household duties.
 
 There will be meeting of the Birming- ham Free Kindergarten association this af- ternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the Commercial club. The meeting Is an important one.

EAGAN's sELF-EoMPosuRE

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Among the many remarkable exposures that have been evoked during the past few months the exposure which Commissary General Eagan made of himself and in- cidentally it seems of the war inquiry board, in his appearance before that body yesterday, is the most amazing.
 The Dispatch feels that it almost owes an apology to its readers for allowing such a draft upon the verbiage of the military cloaca to appear in it's columns. If any private person should so disgrace himself it would be unclean journalism to print his language. But this person is a military of fcer. His deluge from the sewers is in- fiicted with regard to official business, and 1t was poured out before a board sitting under the authority of the president. It is necessary for the public to know what man. ner of men and what theories of public conduct prevail in the war department, and no more crushing evidence on that point could be afforded than the outburst of bi- lingsgate which is the commissary generals contribution to the public knowledge.
 General Miles, as was his duty, made cer- tain charges, supporting them with the re- ports of his chief surgeon, Major Daly, and a large number of his subordinate com mandng officers. It was not only Commits sary General Eagans privilege, but it was his duty, to present evidence, if he had it, showing the other testimony to be incorrect or the conclusions from 1t to be erroneous. But when he discloses himself as imagining

 The Augusta Chronicle says: Dr. and Mrs. w. H. Harrison complimented Miss Broad max, of Birmingham, and MT. Harrison, of Glasgow Scotland with a delightful after noon reception Friday. Their beautiful home on the hill was exquisitely decorated in palms, ferns, vines and flowers. Green was the prevailing color scheme. Especially effective was the dining room with the lovely floral adornments. The white satin damask covering the table upon which the bon bons were served was crossed with wide green satin ribbons, and filled with vases of ferns and silver candelabra. For three or four hours there was con- stant stream of guests, and the scene was made doubly brilliant with the uniforms of the officers and the dainty reception gowns of the women. Miss Broadnax wore white organdie with black lace insertion in bow knots.

Qn Memoriam.)

Qn Memoriam) An angel came to earth one day, With white wings folded close and furled As tho to stay his upward flight And softly sped with quiet tread Through earth's fair garden, rich in bloom. Like incense flung From censors swung By hands unseen. the perfumed flood From every hidden heart of gold That rose to meet and gladly greet Those straying feet with welcome sweet. And as he strayed The angel stayed His steps beside a tender bud, With snowy petals caught and eurled Within it's velvet calyx hold. It's day of blooming scarce begun Beneath the kisses of the sun, By balmy breezes blithely famed With rev'rent air, And tender care, The angel stretched a gentle hand And plucked and bore from earthly sight, Untouched by blot or blurr of blfghf Unmarred by death or dull decay. Our blossom beautiful and bright. By right divine! Dids't Thou not give Thy Child for mine?

For the Informal Day at Home.

For informal days at home some dry sweet is often offered with the thin wafer that is handed around with the cup of tea. These sweets may be the Japanese rice ca andies, variously favored, candied ginger or some other East Indian confection that i; both dry and sweet, and with a sufficient flavor to be appetizing with the wafers. Except in the case of receptions or formal at-home days, the afternoon refreshments offered are light and simple.

 Having sojournod in Birmingham, Ala, for several months, I have become quite familiar with the busy and buoyant life of the cIty. I had heard, of course, much of the resources of the Birmingham district before I reached the 'Pittsburg of the South.' and was prepared to see something Of a marvel in the way of industrial prog ress; but what I have observed has sur passed all my expectations. Birmingham is indeed, a wonderful example of what brains and pluck, combined with mineral wealth. can accomplish. An absorbing topic this winter has been Greater Birmingham the annexation of a number of outlying small cities.
 '-rhe Alabama legislature, now in session. will pass a Greater Birmingham bill, and then Birmingham will have a poulation of not less than 6O,00O. But the city is growing now at faster rate than ever. This year of our Lord, 1899, is to be the best year in the history of the place. The government census of 1900 will give it a population of close upon 70 O00."
 Nobody Was Injured
 Cape Town, January 16.-Telegrams from Johannesburg are censored, but so far as ascertainable, nobody was seriously injured in the disturbance between the Burghers and Afrikanders and the British residents there who held public meeting to ventilate the grievances of the Uitlanders and which resulted in free fight. Efforts are being made to trace tie instigators of the affray. Two Englishmen were arrested, but they have been since discharged from custody.
