GONE TO her REWARD.
COlOred Woman Who Died in
Washington, Left a Rec
= ord For HerOiSm,

Old Sophia Holmes. the most interest
ing colored woman of her day, has left
little story woven around her mem
ory which will long live, and a record
OF which her race may well be proud.
She died in Washington on October II,
where she had won her mark of dis
tinction as the first colored woman to
be given a life position under the United
States government, which was awarded
by a special act of congress during Lin
coins 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 1853, in sweeping up
after closing hours she found a chest
of bank notes, which had been care
lessly overlooked by the employees and
left out Of the vault Not knowing what
to do and fearing to call the watchman,
of whose honesty she was not sure, she
continued to sweep back and forth until
II was dark, then she dragged the chest
as noiselessly as possible to a place
beneath a table and lay upon the top
rs sentinel.
REWARDED FOR HER HONESTY.
II was past midnight when General
Spinner, then treasurer. made his night
ly round. He had long made 1t habit
to sleep In the building and make a per-
sonal survey Of the department at mid
night.
The negress listened, and realizing
whom 1t was, called out to him and
made her discovery known. Noted for
his profanity. General Spinner Is said
to have made good use of his powers
upon this occasion, and expressed his
wrath in a fiery volume. The frighten-
ed woman, at his command, followed
trembling to a room above, where at
that unusual hour a committee meeting
was called. She was absolved from
all blame and allowed to return to her
home, which she did rejoicing.
Congress acted upon her deed of
bravery and valor. and subsequently
appointed her to a life position In the
division Of issues department, to carry
packages Of money from one employee
to another, at the highest salary paid
to the laborers In the government em-
ploy, which 10 800 Z month.
This position she retained until her
death. always carrying hsrsslf with
dignity which won the ssspset Of AL her
superior olncert. !.

Ineersoll on the Philippine War.

~ have one sentiment for the
soldiers, cheers for the living and
tears for the dead. If it were meet
to weep over the sacred dust of the
brave who died to render our flag
stainless, and keep it in the sky, it
is now in order to food the graves
of the boys who are falling in the
Philippine Islands. For they are
not fighting to add to the lustre of
Old Glory or to save the Union,
but as mere machines at the behest
of the administration, which for the
time being, is the government of
the United States. War with Spain,
for which the volunteers took up
arms, has long since ended. Con-
gress has not declared war against
the Filipinos nor voted money to
carry on foreign war of conquest.
Then why this thunder of guns, the
flying thundcrbolts of hell, and these
new-made graves as numbcrless as
the stars? 1t is war, not in the
name of liberty, but against it. Our
arms are not adding glory to the flag,
but instead are staining that starry
emblem of freedom with the blood
and tears of a people fighting for
the right of self government. The
soldier is not to blame, therefore,
when he falls in such a war, his bier
should be draped in the deepest
mourning and drenched with the
tears of his fellow-countrymen. y
Col. R. G.. Ingersoll.
