WOULD RELIEVE A
OF HEALTH OF CARE
OF HUMAN GERM
INCUBATOR.
HE WAS ONCE INSANE
BUT HE WOULD WE'D JUST THE
SAME If MARY ISN'T MORE
THAN 10 YEARS OLDER.

New York, July 26.-Smitten with
love for Typhoid Mary and in SYM
patty for her in her detention on
North Brother Island, a Michigan
farmer offers to marry Mary Mallon
and to relieve the board of health of
caring for her.
In a letter to DR.. Darlington from
Lansing, Mich, the sutton for Mary's
hand writes:
Il noticed you are credited with
sentencing a Miss Mary Mallon' to
North Brother Island for an indefin-
tie time because she is apparently the
cause of many typhoid fever cases.
MY father was a farmer. Just one
family lives within a mile of this
farm. My father gave this farm to me
l am not married and probably never
will be. | worked on a farm all my
life, but am working as a carpenter at
present. / am now % years old.
"If Miss Mallon is not more than
ten years older and you will get her
into Michigan and see that the au-
thorities of Michigan are not wise
that She IS here, and she will agree
to become my wife, l will agree to
become her husband.
'One thing she should be made
aware of before the tie is bound, and
that is that | have (the have is I'M
derscored three times) been insane,
but it was more than three years ago,
and | was pronounced cured then"
Typhoid Mary was sent to the Riv-
erside hospital in March, 1907, be-
cause ii was thought that she is a re-
pository Of typhoid fever germs. On
July 16 Supreme Court Judge Erlang-
er decided that she must remain there
because her release would be a dan
ger to the community.

SERVICE IN
KANSAS FOR MAIL
ONE MOTOR CAR SUPPLIES MORE
TERRITORY THAN THREE
HACKS AND ELEVEN
TEAMS.

Syracuse, Kan, July 26.-Two trial
trips with Uncle Sans mail, which
will mean much to the people OF
Southwest Kansas and Southeast Col
orado in the way of better mail ser
vice. have been made.
Each successive trip. a total length
of 1876 miles. was made between the
hours of Z a. m. and 6 p. m.
On each trip, eight postoftices, in
Guiding two county seats We're served
with mail, an average stop OF 10 min
utes to each postOfiice. A stop OF 40
minutes was made for dinner. Be
sides these 40 short stops We're made
at free delivery boxes distributing and
receiving mail for more than $50
ranches and claim holders.
These round trips, heretofore requir-
ing an outlay of three hacks, a stock
of II teams of horses and three driv-
eTs on the road all day, were made
possible with an additional % miles)
in one day with one driver by the use
of the new international high-wheeled
automobile and the excellent pike
road through the sand hills south of
Syracuse.
The route Travelled passes through
South and West Hamilton, through
Stanton and Morton counties. Kansas,
and Baca county, Colorado, by way Of
Johnson City, Kan, Richfeld, Kan,
and Romantic, Colo.
People Of Syracuse and southwest
counties will not be slow to see the
advantage of the larger territory serv-
ed and time saved by the automobile
stage line, aud will demand of Uncle
Sam a service equivalent to the one
maintained on the trial trips as it will
be at least three years before the pros
pective railroads will reach the rich
territory southwest of and physically
tributary to Syracuse.

Earned Congressional Medal.

Editor National Tribune: About mid
night of June 2S, 1862, our Colonel, II.
NJ. Plaisted, of the 11th Me-, which was
stationed near the railroad bridge on
the Chickahominy, received orders from
Gen. Mcclellan to destroy the founda-
ton of the bridge utterly, so that it
could not be repaired in any reasonable
time. The pioneers of the 18th Me-,
under Serg't Dunbar, were assigned
that hazardous task. to be supported by
several companies of the regiment. We
fully appreciated the danger, for our
work had to be done in the light of the
already burning bridge, with the rebel
pickets on the opposite bank, But the
safety of our comrades, who were NOV
ing past on their retreat to the James
River, within rife shot, depended upon
it, For about 100 feet, the breadth of
the channel, we removed every portion
of the bridge by cutting the posts and
stringers. In order to thorolyi destroy
the bridge several of us volunteered to
cross the stream and cut some posts in
the face of the rebel pickets- on the 9TH
er bank. Ny chum and tent-mate, AL
bert Howard (whom I helped bury that
Fall on the historic field of Yorktown, 4,
and myself were members of that squad
The names of the others have passed

them. l think we are er1titled'ito the

going to try for it, and ask any and all
of my comrades who were IN that
swamp that night to write me at

Editor National Tribune: Having

Mississippi Battery, and while in Win

'63, and early part of '64,. was ordered
out to engage the Federal troops with
our battery in the early part of ga
at a place called Buzzard Roost, or
Mill Creek Gap, or Rocky Face Ridge
(it being known by these different
names). Having seen the Federal
troops advancing around the mountain
side in front and to the right Of our
position. l reported the fact to Gen.
Joseph e Johnston, who was standing
talking to my Colonel, Samuel c. Will
liams, of Knoxville, Tenn. Gen. John
ston ordered Col Williams to open fire
on them with two pieces of my battery
as soon as possible, which was done.
Having stampeded and driven them
back, we went over to see the effects
of our fire and found some thirty killed
and a calf also. We followed them a
short distance and asked the citizens
what they (the enemy had to say
why they were retreating so fast? We
were told that they said Hell had
broke loose in Georgia." / thing that
this is where the expression originated.
This incident occurred some time be-
tween the 9Th and 10th of May, 1864.

to either Logan's or McCook's Corps

like to ask thru your paper if any COM
rade was present at Gordon's Mills
when Quartermaster Capron, of the
First Brigade, Second Division, Fif-
teenth Corps, ordered the team to pull
in at a plantation and load up with
forage. 1t was on the return march of
army from Knoxville. think
it was the latter part of December,
1863. There was a family of two young
ladies and an old couple. They were
very ind .gnant at our freshness in help
ing ourselves to corn and wheat and
one hog which We shot. The old lady
got on it as the girls do when they ride
horseback, and we had to lift her off.
/ would like to hear from those girls,
and / would like to see them and have
a pleasant chat. ! am 6S years old, and
they must be near that. They were
very angry, and threatened us with very
severe punishment if we would wait un-
IL our army passed by and their men
folks came out of the heavy timber
which was near the house. We had
other business to see to, and could not

Remembers the High wall.

Editor National Tribune: In your
issue of May 20 j read an article from
Comrade Charles W. Reynolds, Co A,
18th ILL.,, that brought to my mind
fresh memories of prison life in Cahaba,
Ala. l remember the rise in the Ala
bama River in March, '65. Some of
our young people would dispute that
statement, and / am glad Comrade Rev
nolds yet lives to testify to the truth
of that fact. l remained in the pen
until the water was all gone; was with
the last squad TO leave; only remained
one night in Selma; then went on to
parole camp at Vicksburg. Il wonder
If the comrade remembers the drum
mers of the 18th Mich riding the rail
at parole camp near Vicksburg. The
comrade also wants to know What the
New Hampshire veterans think of the
stand Sulloway took in regard Ito wild
ows' pensions and the pris6nersi,sI don't
know what the New Hanipshire COM
rades think, but for myself, I9think it
is shame on any man. Invaded that
water with Comrade Reynoltis. Married
my second wife in 1898. She fis now
SO years old; just her and I alone.
Under the existing law Al nv death
she would be entirely dapendent on
friends and relatives for sfff,nortl and I
consider her in that case i,Ist as much
a soldiers widow as my first wife
would have been: 1 hope Congress will
take the right view in the matter, and
do. justice to the old soldier and his
widow. d. Hall. Corporal. .6iCo. b,
