BLACK HEROINE NEAR DEATH.
Harriet Tubman Once Famous as "Un-
derground Railway" Conductor.


New York. June 20.--One of the
most interesting characters Of ante
bellum days and prominent figure
considering her abilities. during the
war and succeeding days, is eking
out her existence i'm the Harriet Tub
man home, i'm Albany. She Is nearly
100 years old, III and penniless, and
the trustees of the home are asking FOR
funds to pay for a nurse for her.
The woman is Harriet Tubman
founder of the home, who ran away
from slavery and later succeeded In
assisting more than 800 slaves to lib
erty through the underground rail-
road" She was counted the most ia
nous conductor" of this road during
the days of its greatest activity. She
was also guide i'm the Union army.
She was a friend of Garrison, Phil
lips, John Brown, Gerrit Smith, Sew
ard and Lincoln. And yet To the cas-
ual observer she is only an aged
wrinkled negress, with all the super
stitions and other qualities character
istic of her kind
OF pure negro blood. Harriet Tubman
was born on plantation i'm Dorches-
ter county, Maryland. When she was
still a young woman her master died,
and word went round that the slaves
were to be "sold south" the thing
most dreaded by the negroes of the
upper tier of slave states.
She escaped, obtained employment,
saved her earnings, and finally, with
the aid of Quaker abolitionists, she put
her underground railway i'm operation.
Growing bolder, she went among the
slaves of the south. and ii was not
long before the price for her capture
dead or alive had reached $4,000. But
she was never taken. although she
made 19 trips into the very heart of
the country, where the reward for her
capture was raised.
Recently congress recognized her
services with small pension. A few
years ago she was introduced To a
woman's suffrage audience in Roches-
ter by Susan Il. Anthony as the con
ductor of the underground"
