BARBARA FRIETCHIE INCIDENT
As It Is Told by Those Who Uphold
Whittier's Version.

From the Frederick News.
A niece had gone to see her aunt (Bar-
bara Frietchie) that morning and told
her that it was said 1.-The troops" would
pass through the town that day. Later
the same small maid ran in, in much ex-
element, and called out:
Aunt Frietchie, the troops are COM
ing!''
To the loyal old lady 1.-The troops
meant only one army, the northern. and
when she heard the sound of marching
feet. she rose. and taking a small silk
flag. which she had removed from its
staff and hidden in her Bible for safe
keeping, she stepped out upon the porch
and waved it at the passing men. In
riding up to the porch. said kindly:
Granny, you had better take your flag
in the house
Il won't do 1t. l won't do it,. said the
old lady, childishiy; and then. becoming
aware for the first time that it was the
| men in gray that were passing. she de-
family shook the flag at them.
The excitement in the ranks now in
creased, and threatening murmurs arose.
SO that another officer left the line and
said to her:
'old woman. put that flag away, or you
may get in trouble"
Il WON'T" she replied. and repeated her
action. Angry shouts arose from the
porch. sternly said:
If you don't stop that you'll have the
flag shot out of your hand"
The first officer. who had remained
throughout this scene. thereupon turned
to the last speaker and exclaimed, angrily:
IF you harm hair of her head. I'll
shoot you like q dog
And all day long that free flag toss'd,
Over the heads OF the rebel host.
Whittier's poem follows closely the
story as conveyed to the poet in letter
written to him in 1868 by Mrs. E. D. E.
N. Southworth, the we'll known novelist
giving version which was current at
the time and generally believed. But the
above, which Is here published for the
first time, Is the story told by Dame Bar
bara herself to the niece of her husband,
who attended her in her last illness, and
who, tired of the controversy, which has
waged ever since. has consented to its
publication, and adds that she is willing
to take an affidavit to it,
Following closely the Confederate army
came the Union troops, who gazed in
wonder at the venerable woman as she
stood at the window of her little home,
proudly waving the nag that had already
done such noble service. There was great
excitement in the ranks and Ii Is said
that scores left the line, and. crowding TO
her porch, asked her name and how old
she was. Gen. Reno riding UP. held a
conversation with her and asked her to
give him the flag. This she refused. but
presented to him a larger one. When.
two days afterward, Gen. Reno was killed
at the battle OF South Mountain the flag
was found on his person. and was sent
with his body TO his relatives In Massa-
chusetts who treasure II to this day. She
also gave Gen. Reno glass Of her own
homemade grape wine. and this wine ret,

When the train approached the station

MUST NOT LECTURE
BEFORE ANY SOCIETIES
Section in District Appropria.
ton Bill Causes Furry in
Departments.

The federal departments in Washington
today are sending kilograms to all their
agents and men in the field, warnins
dresses before any societies or any other
organizations. or incur travelling expenses
in such connection. as they have been In
the habit of doing.
The cause of this sudden activity Is a
small paragraph that the cabinet officers
have discovered in the District Of Column
bia appropriation bill, measure that Or
dinarily is Of no interest to them and to
which they pay little attention. The
paragraph prohibits employees Of the Dis
trict or federal government from con-
tracing expenses in connection with any
organization or society anywhere in the
United States.
Just how the paragraph found its way
into the bill is a mystery, but IT Is un-
derstood it was aimed specifically at ex-
penses that were incurred by some of
the District officials in connection with
a small society with which the District
had relations.
The practical effect Of the law is to
prevent the departments from sending
men to deliver lectures or addresses be-
fore societies.
Nearly all of the departments are
constantly In receipt OF requests from
societies to send government experts
to lecture before them. This is par
ticularly the case with the Department
of Agriculture and the Interior De-
partment.
Was Considered Legitimate.
1t has always been considered a 1e-
gitimate expense, and the Secretaries
have always sanctioned such expense.
on the ground that it was distributing
departmental information, which is
provided for in the organic act Great
ing most of the departments.
1t is reported that since the passage OF
the District bill the travelling expenses
Of some Of the field agents Of the Depart
ment of Justice have been held UP on &C
count Of the newly discovered paragraph
1t Is felt In the Department of Agricul-
ture that the new law will greatly handi-
cap the field agents in the dissemination
OF information.
It particularly affects the ONCE OF ex-
pertinent stations. the forest service and
the office of public roads. 1t is not even
known yet whether in the face Of the
law the department can send out the good
road trains and the crop demonstration
trains used In recent years, unless the
local societies interested pay all the ex-
penses OF the trips.
