DEPICTS WOMAN AS HEROINE
Newspaper Of 1855 Gives Story Of Mrs.
Martin. Who was on Saratoga
Battlefield.

In view Of the fact that some re-
cent research that has been given
magazine and newspaper publicity has
tended to show that all the fighters Of
the American revolutionary war were
not as patriotic or as brave as history
has set them down, a clipping in the
possession Of c. L. Miller. a Princeton
citizen, is of interest Just now in that
1t not only shows conclusively that
there were some" brave and intrepid
men In the American ranks, but 1t
brings out what Is rare In history,
the recital of woman's valor on the
Held OF battle in that momentous pc
Rod. II also deals Maj Gen. Horatio
Gates. American officer. hot shot on
the bravery" displayed by him at the
battle Of Saratoga.
The clipping is from an original
copy Of the Troy IN. " Wing Of No

since its words come from the lips Of
one who saw and participated in the
noted conflict at Saratoga. He says:
Mrs. Margaret Martin, who is stop

in this city. is IS years Of age. She
is one Of the few remarkable women
Of the revolution who took part in
the memorable occurrences Of the
struggle for American independence.
Her husband, Gilbert Martin, was a
surgeon in the army Of the American
general. Gates. and was engaged In
he battle at Saratoga.
Mrs. Martin. then a very young
woman. was on the field during both
struggles constituting this battle. and
terminating the defeat Of the splen-
lid army which Burgoyne had trans
ported with such immense labor and
expense from Canada. confidently an
ticipating that he would be able with
it to divide the army of the patriots
and secure Sir Henry Clinton in his
possession of the southern line of de-
lenses.
Mrs. Martin represents the strug-
gle as most terrific. She says that
toward evening. when Burgoyne. mad
dened by the consciousness that all
his splendid schemes were about to be
defeated. directed his whole reserve
and cavalry force upon the feeble
army Of the patriots, the contestants
stood within half musket range Of each
other and poured in their deadly vol
legs. while whole files ON either side
fell in their tracks. and still neither
gave one inch.
Toward evening Or. Martin was
wounded in the shoulder. and while

Pitch Springs In Greece.

On the island of zante. Greece, there
are to b found what are locally call
ed pitch springs. They are at the
southern end of the island in a broad
swampy basin. shut in ON three sides
by mountains and open on the fourth
side to the sea. They are really
springs of crude petroleum which &C.
cording to analysis IL of very high
degree Of purity.
The petroleum issues from the earth
in water basins. oozing up through
the mud In drops which break and
spread upon the surface of the water.
The Cow Is very slow In the several
springs, not amounting to more than
few gallons q day. The springs
we're mentioned by q Greek historian
some four centuries before Christ.
They seem to have been considered
merely as a curiosity until about fifty
years ago.
