"Lasses."
is TRUE TO CREED

Frederick, Md, April PA friend
Of Barbara Fritchia whose heroic ac-
ton during the Civil War has been
perpetuated in verse, ana a woman
who has taken an active part in two
wars, Mrs. Addie James, of sos North
Market street, this city, has the honor
of being the oldest Salvation Army
''lassie' in Maryland, if not in the en-
tire country. Though she is in her
saith year, Mrs. James is active and
loyal in her support Of the one church
she has known.
Mrs. James was a young woman
when she came here two years before
the Civil War broke out. She imme-
diately became popular in society and
made many friends. During the four
years of bloody turmoil which followed
the outbreak of tie Civil War, she was
unceasing in caring for the soldiers,
blue,clad and gray CARRIED, who con-
tinually streamed through this city.
She was witness of the battle
fought within the limits of old Fred
erick; she heard the boom of the
great guns on the historic Gettysburg
field and she often saw the figure OF
the gallant Stonewal Jackson. She
was always among the first to mfn>
lister to the wounded of the great
struggle OF half a century ago and
when the war with Germany broke
out, although too old to nurse Amer
icas boys she made scores of them
happy with the clothing she knitted
and sent to them.
Then. almost SO years ago. there
came to Frederick little band OF Sal
yation Army Workers. 1t was not long
before Mrs. James. seeing the great
work done by the members of this band,
became one of their most ardent men,
bers. For number Of years she took
an active part in their services and
true to the spirit Of the organization,
has been a loyal member ever since.
There hangs on her wall now the pic
ture of the first commander OF the
Army in America.
For almost 90 years the Salvation
Army was unable to maintain a corps
of workers in this city, but Mrs. James,
the true Salvationist, held to her first
convictions. When asked Of what
church censuses she was Salvation
list" Through the period Of 20 years
she remained true to the Army stand
ard Of militant Righteousness although
she attended various churches.
Through these years other organiza-
tons have come and gone here and
have tried to do the same work on
smaller scale. But the spirit Of the
Salvation Army has lived in the heart
and conduct Of Mrs. James.
With the same indomitable zeal this
true Salvationist did her bit in the
great war just ended Although her
age prevented her from taking an ac-
tive part in caring for the brave khaki
clad boys who fell on the field OF bat
Tie, her heart was with them as her
fingers deftly welded the needles
socks and other articles to shield the
which she used to make sweaters,
soldiers against the biting winds.
Whole days. from early In the morning
until the sun had long disappeared.
did she spend in knitting these neces-
sary articles for the young fighters.

Leaves Money for Building.
The small village of Wilder, Yer
mont has II scattered population, many
of these being employees of the local
plpe: mill.
After a survey of the social needs
of the community the owner OF the
mill left money. before his death. for
the erection of Il building which would
meet the following needs: A library
for tie use Of the people of the village
and surrounding country, club house
with recreation facilities for the young
men of the town, and a meeting place
fur public assemblies and OrganiZa-
TONS
or the $4,000 donated, S17,775 was
used for construction and furnishings
which included $500 volumes for the
library, and athletic equipment and
bowling alleys. The interest on the
remainder of the money is used to
help maintain the enterprise.
In order that those using the build
ing should feel financial responsibility
therein and in order more effectual-
ly to govern the enterprise COM
munity association was formed the
members of which, upon payment or
the annual maintenance dues of four
dollars. enjoy in fun the privileges OF
the athletic and recreatiOnal depart
mentS.
That the use of the building is NOT
confined to those who pay dues Is
thnf
ment committee Is composed of two
Deonle from the association and four
from outside.
While the building Is used for social
and civic purposes without charge the
auditorium cannot be rented. If an
organization has an entertainment for
the good of the community which 1T
desires to give, tickets are sold and
sufficient proceeds taken to pay the
nominal expenses.
Games for the Young.
AS one enters and, aside from the
much used auditorium and stage, views
the commodious and well furnished
library and reading rooms. in use BY
people of both sexes, one might con
clude that here centered the most I'm
portant function Of the building. AS
one descends to the basement and hears
the rolIicking laughter of the young
people at billiards, bowling, games ana
athletics one might not be so sure.
Continuity of control was provided
by the donor by the appointment by
him of seven trustees who form con
tinuous corporation, in that when there
is vacancy the other members ap-

THE LEAvENwORTH ECHO
CITY COUNCIL.

There was a large gathering out 10
the meeting of the City Council Tues
day evening as it was understood that
there would be petition against the
erection of a morgue on Lots and :
of Block s. town of Leavenworth. and
that there would be Il counter petit
ton. The matter was threshed out
by the council and both petitions
tabled. The first was against the es-
Establishment of the morgue on the lots
given above and the second petition
asked that the council pay no atten-
ton to the first. BY the tablng of
both petitions the matter was left in
the same status as prior to the meet
ing. No application for privilege to
erect the morgue had been filed with
the council. therefore the matter was
not properly before tho council for
decision. It was suggested however
that an ordinance be passed prohibit
ing the erection or installation of
morgue within one hundred feet of a
residence, but this was also dropped.
The matter of allowing a cottage
to be erected on Commercial street on
the location of some old commercial
buildings was also gone over it being
decided that the council could not
grant permit for cottage or other
building than a So-called fre-proof
building. within the fire limits.
The matter of the outlet of the
storm sewer on Commercial avenue
was discussed. It seems that this
sewer was put in prior to the estab-
lishment Of the Great Northern Lum-
ber Company's railroad along the
north side of the mill pond and that
when the road was graded the outlet
of the sewer was cut through and
had never been changed or extended
under the track. and now it is ncces-
sary to have this change made The
matter was left to tho committee on
streets and alleys with power to act.
and unless the lumber company can
be convinced that it Is their duty to
make the change the city will do it.
The special committee formerly APP
pointed reported on the matter Of
opening an alley way across 10th
street near the location of the old
Congregations church 1t was est-
| mated that to make a paSsable way
across this street (Which Is not open
at this poin0 would cost some three
hundred dollars and. after accepting
the report of the committee, the mat
ter was dropped.
Permission was granted f. A
Constable to make minor changes and
Improvements about the Glaeser
property.
