- The resolution introduced in the
house Of representative by Gen.
Wheeler for the presentation by the
president of medal to Helen
Gould, is unique in its way. Con-
gress has never thus far rendered
any such honor to any woman.
The nearest precedent for this case
is that of Capt. Molly, who figures
in some of the chronicles as "Moll
Pitcher" She rendered gallant
service as soldier in the revolution,
firing the last shot from her hus-
bands cannon at Fort Clinton, in
October, 1877, just before its cap
ture by the British, after her hus-
band and every other man had
evacuated the fort. She took her
husbands place at his cannon after
he was killed at Monmouth, on
June 2S, 1883, and fought through
out the battle. For her services
Washington made her sergeant,
but the honor accorded her did not
stop there. On Washington's re-
commentator the continental con
gress put her on the list of half pay
officers, and her compensation was
continued through her life.-Les-

Two genuine Germans are mem.
bers of the house of representatives
Both were born in Germany, both
fought in the Fatherland's wars
both speak Germanized English
both stand up for the rights of the
man that wants to drink beer, and
both are members of the committee
on temperance.
When the bill to give the state
power to bring injunction suits
against repeated violations Of .
statute came up, both saw in the
bill surreptitious plan to wipe ou
the saloon, and worked faithfully
against it. The principal differenc,
between Henry Schaal, of Laportt
county, and Frederick Schrader, O
Ripley, is that the former was elect
ed by the democrats and the latte
by the republicans. Ind. Sun.
