Mrs. Kimball's Long Service

The Washington Post devotes
column sketch to Mrs. Helen l.. Nc
Lean Kimball, Vermont woman.
She is the widow of Capt. Z A.
Kimball, one Of the early editors of
The Age, who commanded the only
company recruited in Vermont for
the Mexican war Mrs Kimball is
clerk on the active list of the comp
troller of the currency, and on July
9Th celebrated her Goth birthday
The Post says in part:
Sound in body and mind, this
remarkable woman long has been the
wonder of the treasury department
and the object of the love and admi-
ration of hundreds of friends both in
and out of Office.
"Her capacity for work is quite as
good as that of many clerk of less
than half her years and her willing
ness and ability have made it impos-
sible for those in authority to con-
slider her as probable candidate for
the superannuated list. AS Mrs. Kim
ball received many friends Friday
who visited her at her desk at the
treasury, no one conversant with
the history of this remarkable
woman would have made even a
fairly accurate guess as to her age.
Floral tributes were SO many that she
could not carry them to her country
place where she spends her sum-
mers.
Grown men with families behind
them, whom Mrs. Kimball knew as
boys when she first entered the de-
partment, were among the visitors.
Mrs. Kimball entered the treas
ury department in November, 1868,
after the death of her husband, who
was killed at Suffolk. Va. In the
battle of Chapultepec he was the first
to reach the Mexican flag, but gen.
erously waited for his superior officer
to come and take it down. A portion
of the staff was given Captain Kim
ball and one of his widows treasures
is cane made from that stick. Cap
tain Kimball distinguished himself
for bravery in the Civil War by
leading the attack on one of the
masked batteries of the enemy. At
the time of his death Captain Kim
ball was on the eve of receiving pro-
motion to the rank of brigadier-
general.
The appointment of Mrs. Kimball
came to her without her previous
knowledge and she was the first
woman clerk in the government SER
vice, the few women employed up to
that time doing no clerical work. In
that day the library of the treasury
was quite an affair, and Senators
Morrill, and Edmunds of Vermont,
succeeded in having Mrs. Kimball
assigned as librarian. There she
remained until the management
changed. She inaugurated many
reforms and made the library
working adjunct of the department.
Among othor things she COM
piled digest of all laws Of congress
applicable to the treasury.
Nine years ago she toured the
Holy Land, and at the age of 86
made an extensive visit to Scotland,
England, and France There is no
indication Of age in her handwriting
and she is altogether a delightful
old woman spending her summers
at Rose Cottage" an ideal spot. and

The article appearing in the Peoples

His statement which read "Dr. Payne

write the following:
Edward s. evidently wrote from no

Although I have seen numerous ac-
counts in the EVENING STAR of dogs

ice rendered by the meteorological de-
partment of the City Hospital, very few
people seem to be aware Of this valu-
able acquisition to our city. Only
few days ago policeman shot dog
which had bitten child The dog was
believed to have been suffering from
rabies.
The proper thing for that officer to
do was to see that the carcass OF the
animal was removed to the bacterfo-
logical laboratory, where an examina-
ton OF the dog would enable the doc
tors to determine how to treat the boy
who had been bitten. The lad had his
wound cauterized shortly after the dog
had bitten him. Too much precaution
cannot be taken in a matter of this
sort
The object of this new laboratory Is
to relieve the people of all the worry
and uncertainty caused by an accident
of this kind. The people pay to have
these institutions, and the majority OF
us do not know that they exist. Tne
