A. GOOD PROFIT MADE.
Miss Clara Barton's Recent Sale of Red
Cross Property.


about $780, said Mr.. Chas. A. Baker,
treasurer of the Red Cross, speaking of the
sale by Miss Clara Barton of lots on kalo-
rama Heights, Miss Barton had a small
sum Of uneXpended balances from a num-
Der of the Red Cross campaigns. She was
offered these lots in kalorama Heights,
with the suggestion that they would make
a fine home for the Red Cross at some time
in the future. The price of the lots was
larger than the amount Of Red Cross
money she had. Miss Barton contributed
about third Of the price from her PERSONAL
funds. This she told me at the time
became treasurer of the organization ard
at that time / and other members of the
Ped Cross went out to look at the property
with her.
Miss Barton held the property in her
own name but the charter of the Red
Cross does not permit it to own any real
estate except for office purposes and she
circumstances. A number Of the people
prominent in the work Of the organiza-
ton were familiar with the facts from
the beginning.
ut was found not long ago that the
Connecticut avenue grade would throw
the lots SO far below the street level that
they would not be suitable for a home for
the organization. At this time, very for
tunately, the bridge contractors discovered
that there was lot of valuable rock under
the property, and they offered Miss Barton
$4,000 for it. to be paid as the build ng
material is used The price was a very
good one and a large advance on what Miss

MEMORY OF COLD HARBoR.
The Story Told by Capt. Pitcher Of
the Treasury Department.

Forty years ago today the battle of Cold
Harbor one of the bloodiest conflicts re-
corded during the civil war, was fought.
There is no formal anniversary of that con-
test but in the Treasury Department there
is venerable employe, Capt. D. L. Pitcher,
who never let's a year go by without re-
counting an incident of that day. when he
fought at the head of company of the Sth
New York Heavy Artillery. The Heavy
Sth'' lost in killed. wounded and missing as
a result of the battle of Cold Harbor 800
officers and men, and so thick were the bull
let's and intense the excitement that
many wounds were not discovered until the
smoke of battle had cleared away.
So it was with old Capt. Pitcher. When
the issues of the day had been decided the
captain noticed a burning sensation In his
side, and, taking off his coat he discovered
a slight flesh wound. While waiting to
have the wound dressed he bethought him
of his diary, which he always carried in the
inside of his coat. He reached for his coat,
took out the diary and found bullet i'm
bedded between it's leaves. He looked at
his coat, and found a hole made by the bull
let on its deathlike errand, and every Sd of
June old Capt. Pitcher takes out this diary
shows 1t to his friends, tells the story of
the battle of Cold Harbor, and how the
little book is responsible for his being here

plalnants Jackson pleaded not guilty.
Jackson was employed as a driver by the
compliments. A representative of the firm
stated that May p last he saw the de-
PENDANT deliver two kegs Of coal where 1t
had not been ordered. The defense ad-
mitted the theft Of the coal and made a
plea for leniency.
Judge Kimball stated that the case was
one In which clemency could not be con-
sistently exercised, in view Of the fact that
1t could be considered a double offense. In
that the theft of coal in such a manner is
calculated to damage the reputation Of the
complaining firm for honesty and entail a
loss to the parties for whom the fuel was
intended. He thereupon imposed fine OF
$50 with ninety days in Jail as the equiva-
lent.
