Queen of American ssttlsRslds.

Mrs. Lucinda Dogan, ninety years
old and known in Virginia as the
queen of the battlefelds," is still llv-
ing. Her home In Groveton oyerlooks
the first Bull Run fight which took
place July q, 1861. The house Is in
the center Of the field on which was
fought the second Bull Run battle,
Aug. 20 and 30. 1862. After both bat
ties Mrs. D0gan with her children
went out among the wounded and ad-
ministered to their wants so far as she
was able. When the long trenches for
the dead were dug she assisted In the
burials The wounded were so numer-
Gus that the medical STATS Of both ar
mics used all their bandages. Mrs.
DOgan gave up her bed sheets and
towels to the surgeons and assisted
them In preparing the bandages. An
hour before the second battle Stone
wall Jackson sent one Of his staff to
tell Mrs. DOgan that there was going
to be a fight near her place" and ad-
vised her to get away. Before she
could start the first guns were fired.
A sick woman whom Mrs. Dogan had
been nursing in house near her own
was killed by shell soon after the
battle began. Before the last fight a
forest stood around the little town.
When the battle ceased the trees had
been shot down, and nothing but their
stumps remained. Mrs. .NDogan's mind
is still unclouded, and she tells the sto-
ries Of both battles in an interesting

peIaware,s Circular Boundary

The northern boundary line of Della
ware is circular because the charter
given to Penn states that Pennsylvania
was to be bounded on the east b.
the Delaware river from twelve miles
distant north of Newcastle town until
the three and fortieth degree of north
latitude" and that the southern bound
airy was TO be "a circle drawn at
twelve miles distant from the town of
Newcastle northward and westward
until the fOrtieth degree of north lati-
tude and then by straight line west
ward" This makes a circular bound
airy for northern Delaware unavoid-
able, and the facts above set forth ex-
plain geographical curiosity that has
puzzled many students.
