A BRAVE NEGRESS.
Worked as a Charwsman Under Pres
ident Lincoln.
lChicago Recordl

Old Sophia Holmes, the most inter
esting colored woman of her day, has
left a little story woven around her
memory which will live long, and
record of which her race may well be
proud.
She died in Washington on oct. II,
where she had won her mark of dis
tinCtiOn ds the first Colored woman to
be given life position under the Unit
ed States government, which was
awarded by a special act of congress
during LincOln's administration.
She was at that time employed as
char-wOman in the division of issues
department, a position to which she
was appointed by President Lincoln.
One evening in 1858 in sweeping up
after closing hours, she found d chest
of bank notes which had been care
Iessly overlooked by the employees and
left out of the vault. Not knowing
what to do, and fearing to call the
Waterman, of whose honesty she was
not sure, she continued to sweep back
and forth until it was dark, then she
dragged the chest. as nOiSeleSSIy as
possible. to a place beneath q table and
lay upon the top as sentinel.
Rewarded For Her Honesty.
1t was past midnight when General

d habit to sleep in the building and to

this occasion. and expressed his wrath
in fiery volume. The frightened wom-

Congress acted upon her deed Of
bravery and ValOr and subsequently
appointed her to a life position in the
packages of money from one employee
to another. at the highest salary paid
TO the laborers in the government en-
plOy. which is $50 a month.
This position she retained until her
death. always carrying herself with
dignity. which won the respect Of all
her superior officers

Sketch of Her Life.
Sophia Holmes was born in George
town. Va. and was married to Mel
ChiOr Holmes. whose freedom she puf-
chased with her own earnings. He
lost his life in the civil war.
Sophia Holmes was over 30 years Of
age. how much older she herself was
unable to tell. for as much as she was
associated with figures she had no
memory for dates.

Arm Cut Off.

Clarence Stifiler suffered the loss of
part of his right arm last Saturday
night. He was 'fooling around freight
train on the Santa I'e road, and stumbled,
falling IN such way that his arm lay
across the rail. The train was moving,
and his arm was cut off about three
inches below the elbow. After the ac-
cident, he was taken to DR.. SCOTS office,
and DR.. Milligan was called to assist.
The stump OF the arm vas bound to pre-
vent the loss of blood, and the young
man was taken home, where the wound
was dressed. DR.. Scott reports that
the young man is getting along nicely,
and seems indifferent to the loss of his
arm.
1t is reported that he was under the
influence of liquor; that Marshal Keeney
ha d started him home late in the after
