Is HER MONUMENT.
BRAVE CAPTAIN MOLLIE PITCH
ER'S WELL.
memento of the Heroine of the Battle
of m Is Still in Use and
May BE Seen from Passing Trains
Her Heroism.
(Freehold. n. J.. Letter.l

Few Americans, perhaps, have no
ticed as they were whirled across the
battlefield of Monmouth in a railroad
express train the two upright posts
along the tracks near Freehold mark
ing the well of Captain Mollie Pitcher,
the heroine Of the battle of Monmouth,
who long since was buried in the old
cemetery at Carlisle, Pa. The well is
situated very close to the tracks and
car be seen from the rear of the train.
1t is one Of the points Of interest on
this historic battlefield and is in sight
OF the old Tennent Church, which was
used as an hospital during the fight
and In which the blood-stained seats,
where the British soldiers were car
ried from the conflict to die, can still
be seen. 1t may be surprising, but it
10 nevertheless true, that this famous
old well is still in use. The farm Of
William Augustus Thompson. which
Is nearby, gets its entire supply OIL wa
ter from this well, water pipes being
laid from the farm to the we'll. The
water Is said to be as clear and spark
ling as spring water Inc very cool.
Captain Mollie Pitcher was the
heroine of the battle of Monmouth,
which was fought on the morning of
Sunday, June 20, 177S. Tradition says
its was in this conquest that General
Lees action in making a retreat caused
Washington to utter the only pro-
family he ever spoke during his life.
During the fierce fight Mollie Pitcher,
an Irish woman and the wife of a
member Of one of the New Jersey ar
tillery companies, with her bucket of
cool water drawn from this we'll,
quenched the thirst of the heated Yam
kee soldiers.
Captain Mollie was Of masculine
build and dressed in a mongrel suit
with the %petticoats of her own sex and
an artilleryman's coat, cooked hat and
feathers. She was a sturdy camp
follower, only % years of age, and in
devotion to her husband, who was a
cannonier, she illustrated the charac-

band is here, perhaps dying, and :
nurse him and his comrades who
fell with him."
Miss Dix, however, was inexorable
and refused to allow Mrs. Ewing to add
her name to he roll of army nurses.
b left Miss Dix with a heavy heart
n again sought DR.. Quick, her old
physician at home, and through him
she met DR.. George Rex, the surgeon
III charge OF the Baltimore hospitals.
n told her story to him, and after
listening to her he said that such de-
votion should not be thwarted, and on
october 3, 1852, Mrs. Ewing, then less
tnan ~ years of age, signed the roll
Oh nurses and entered on her duties.
She made an excellent nurse, and many
a battle-scarred veteran will never for
get how kindly she ministered to him
as he lay wounded and suffering in
the general hospital.
When her husband saw his wife and
baby enter the ward where he lay he
was amazed and thought he was dream
Ing. He chided her for leaving home
and begged and coaxed her to return,
but in vain, for she told him that she
felt she was doing her duty to her God,
her country and to her fellow-man, and
that nothing but death could deter her
from doing her duty.

No More Rice at Weddings.

One of the new and attractive fea-
lures of the wedding a la mode is the
absence of the traditional rice which
made itself very unpopular and noto-
rious the last few years by bringing
disaster on wedding parties In the way
of iniamed eyes, ETC., causing law
suits and other unpleasantnesses.
Even the sanctity of tradition has not
been able to withstand the ruthless
hand of the iconoclast. At some of the
recent ceremonies rose leaves have
taken the place of the grain. Little
baskets filled with these fragrant har-
bingers of good luck have been hand
ed the wedding party, and the united
ones have gone away under a shower
of bloom and perfume. Tradition is all
very well, but modern methods are
sometimes better. One loses. perhaps,
the SAVIOR of the practical joke, the
pe%rfunctory smiles of hotel clerks,
watchful for retained particles, but the
custom has certainly gained in grace
what it has lost in humor, and after
all. the rice throwing never had any
thing but the force of habit toerecom-
mend it: it was neither a beautiful nor
a digniied custom. Let us hope the
rose leaves have come to stay.-The
Criterion.

Cat Routed by Il Bird,

From a garden window in Twicken-
ham, "Observant" saw the following
incident, and writes to tell the tale:
"A nest of blackbirds had flown this
morning, and one of the young birds
had decided to explore under some
shrubs growing in my garden. A
neighbours cat sprang after the bird,
and would have caught 1t, but at the
same moment the mother bird flew
down from a high tree growing just
outside the garden, and, with extended
wings and uttering a remarkably loud
cry, lowered around the cats head,
dashing itself again and again with
open beak against the cat. By this I'M
expected attack the would-be destroy
er seemed entirely baked in his move
ments, and both birds few up into the
tree and clatted loudly and excitedly
for about ten minutes. | never could
have imagined a small bird capable OF
such marvellous instinct and courage.
| felt quite excited at witnessing such
a scene, and shall never forget it,

ELIZABETH WINDLE EWING.
(Phoenixville. Pa. Letter.)

'ihASs L a. ~
Mrs. Elizabeth Windle Ewing, presl-
dent OF the National Association OF
Army Nurses and a resident of this
place, was one of the conspicuous per-
sons at the Grand Army encampment.
Mrs. Ewing was born in the historic
village of Valley Forge, about fifty
eight years ago, and grew to woman
hood among the valley hills where
Washington and his half-starved army
lay encamped hat memorable winter
of II and rs. When a child she heard
the stories of the sufferings of the pa
triot army, and she knew every foot
Of the ground, every nook and corner
OF the historic region, and no doubt her
environment had much to do with
shaping her future life. She married
baby was three days old her husband,
Emanuel Ewing, a member of an old
Chester county family, kissed her good
bye, shouldered his musket and went
to the front with Captain John R. Dob
sons company.

and mother, but her husband was as
loyal as she and felt that he must do
his duty as a soldier. 1t was a beauti-
full June day when he left his little
home and the baby that he had scarce
ly seen, and the young wife watched
him from her bedroom window until
she could see him no more, and then
she buried her face in her hands and
wept. The days wore on and autumn
came, and with 1t some of the hard
fought and bloody battles of the war.
She heard from him almost weekly I'M
til the following spring of so, when
the missives of love ceased to reach the
little home in Phoenixville, where Mrs.
Ewing resided with her parents.
The young wife's solicitude for her
husband began to tell on her happiness
and health, and at last, early in July,
her cup of sorrow was filled to over
flowing when she received word from
Captain Dobson that her husband had
been badly wounded at the battle Of
Malvern Hill, June 80, taken prisoner

MURDER TO CONCEAL ROBBERY

Coroner Marsh of Rockford, ILL.,, has
received a letter from Jonas Carlson,
foreman of the ballasting crew near
Galena, which confirms the theory that
Robert Martin and George Woodward,
two negroes, were robbed and then
thrown from an east-bound freight
train, receiving injuries from which
they died. Both men were paid off in
full by Carlson on the previous Sat-
urday, Woodward also drawing the
wages due his brother, who had been
taken i'll and returned south. Then
they started for their home at Boliver,
Tenn. They had been working since
last April and each had quite a sum
coming. No money was found or
either of the men when picked up
along the track, but the CHASTITY
wounds about their heads indicated
that they had been slugged and then
thrown from a train. The coroner's
jury expects to bring out important
evidence.

Police Judge Taylor of Washington,
D. c., recently fined Leader Haley, Of
H-ey's band, for laughing at Leader
Santelman, of the Marine band, at the
concert on the Capitol plaza. Haley
and Santelman had trouble because the
musicians from the two bands some
times played together in outside en-
gagements. After the concert the pc"
lice offered to release Haley, but he
would not have it. He had been in
suited by arrest and he demanded JUS
tice. So he was taken to a police sta
ton, where he deposited collateral to
the mount OF SIS and secured his re-
lease. Next morning Judge Taylor
said the affair was like trouble In a
church choir, but at the same time he
thought Haley had disturbed the con-
cert by his laughter, and he, therefore,
imposed a fine of $40.

ter Of her countrywomen of the EN-
erald Isle. In the action, while her
husband was managing a field piece,
she constantly brought him water
from a spring nearby. A shot from
the enemy killed him at his post and
the officer of the day, having no one
competent to fill the place, ordered the
piece removed from the field.
Mollie saw her husband fall as she
came from the we'll with her bucket
of fresh water, and also heard the or
der Of the officer of the day for the
removal of the piece. She dropped the
bucket, seized the rammer and vowed
that she would fill the place of her
dead husband at the gun and avenge
his death.
She performed the duty with a skill
and courage which attracted the atten-
ton of all who saw her. On the fol-
lowing morning, while she was still
covered with dirt and blood, General
Greene presented her to General Wash
ington, who, admiring her bravery,
conferred upon her the commission OF
sergeant. BY his recommendation her
name was placed upon the list Of half
pay officer for life.
She left the army soon after the
battle of Monmouth and died near Fort
Montgomery, among the Hudson High
lands, soon after the close of the war.
She was buried at Carlisle, Pa, where
a handsome monument has been erect
ed over her grave by the patriotic citf-
zens in the town.
The widow of General Hamilton,
who died in 1854, stated she had often
seen Captain Mollie and described her
as a stout, red-haired, freckle-faced
young Irish woman, with a handsome
pair Of piercing eyes. Old residents
OF Fort Montgomery say she generally
dressed in the p%etticoats of her sex
with an artilleryman's coat over. She
was in Fort Clinton with her husband
when it was attacked in 1771. When
the Americans fed from the fort a;
the enemy scaled the ramparts, hel

dropped his match as he was about tt
touch off the gun and fled. Mollit
caught it up, touched off the piece ant
then scampered of. 1t was the las

Smallest Capital in EsrSpe.

Cettinje, the capital of the i%ndepend-
ent principally of Montenegro, con-
sists of two streets and a square. The
royal palace, which fronts directly Oh
the street, is not as large as many
farmhouses, and the royal church,
where Montenegrin princes are
crowned, seats only 100 people. The
rest of the houses in the capital are
mainly occupied by the members of the
diplomatic corps, almost all of the Eu-
ropean capitals being represented by
ministers who have nothing in the
world to do but pass the time as best
they may. In winter the capital of
Montenegro is even more desolate and
forlorn. Snow to the depth of four or
five feet often covers the streets and
keeps the royal and other residents
within doors.

public notice, and that in the most
thrilling episode of his varied life. He
was engaged for a sum of 81. 900 and
expenses to murder a beautiful Eng
fish girl in Baltimore. Donohue at
first considered the scheme merely a
coup of the state police to catch him,
but it appeared subsequently to be an
actual fact. Donohue gave himself
completely over to the diabolical
scheme, but all the while kept the po-
lice informed of every move that the
cOnspirators were making and thus
presumably saved the life of the girl.
There is some talk of removing John
Bulls remains from the pauper's grave

Torture of Lads in the Caucasus I'd
Force Confession.

Torture of Lads in the Caucasus to
Force Confession.
Chicago Tribune: A Berlin CORE
spondent sends an account of a case of
inhuman torture stated to have taken
place in a Belgian ironworks in the
Caucasus. A sum of money having
disappeared from the safe. suspicion
fell OF a number of boys engaged at the
works, and the directors, not consid-
ering it necessary to inform the police,
had the lads imprisoned for three days,
keeping them entirely without food to
make them confess. No confession be-
ing obtained they were stripped and
beaten with sticks. after which their
eyelids were raised and holes pricked
through them with needles. The
screaming victims were then dashed
against the wall, and, as they fell,
again beaten with sticks about the
chest and stomach till they became in
sensible. Their tormentOrs SOused
them with cold water till they regained
consciousness, and then began their
devilish work again. This time they
proceeded to extract some of their
teeth, and, as this was all of no avail,
to squeeze large stones into their
mouths, binding the lower jaw fast
with a piece of leather, and then ham
mering their foreheads with tn. butt
end of a revolver. Finally, the boys in
their agony lost all mastery over them
selves and acknowledged having stolen
the money. The police have now taken
the matter up.
