TWO OF FAIR SEX
SOLDIERS IN
WARS
Pension Office Reveals That
Women Proved Heroines on
Battle Lines.

Records at the Pension Bureau re-
vealed yesterday the story Of two
women who fought side by side with
American troops, and served in uni
form three years without their
identity having become known.
The heroines were Deborah Can
nett. Of Massachusetts,, who fought
in the Revolution, and albert" D.
j. Cashier. whose real name was
Rodgers. Her Christian name was
not revealed. They are the only
women who received pensions from
the Government for having partici-
pated In actual warfare with the ma.
TONS troops.
Deborah served in Massachusetts,
regiment commanded by Col. Henry
jackson. She enlisted in April, 1881,
and served until November, 1888.
During the fighting at Tarrytown
she was badly wounded, and was
serving at the time when Lord Corn
wallis was captured. In a bill
passed by Congress in 1898. grant
ing her q special pension, she was
described az Deborah Gannett, q
soldier Of the Revolution" The bill
was passed for the benefit Of her
heirs.
The other women soldier, who was
born in Ireland, where she lived with
q twin brother, was q member Of
Company q, Ninety-fifth Illinois In
fantry, enlisting in August, 1862,
and serving until August. 1866.
Her identity did not become known
until one day, years later, when she
was struck by an automobile, and
the surgical treatment she received
for fracture OF her leg revealed
her sex.

guess is as good as another's,
in attempting to fix the commercial
value of the collection, they say,
the latter Is believed by them to
approximate $40. 900 900.
Contrary to general belief. the
collection is not confined to Ameri-
can coins and medals. Rare coins
and medals issued by practically all
nations of the world, some of them

CELEBRATE At

HOUSE
Fourteenth Anniversary Of In
stitution Which Brings
Joy to Children.

While the Friendship House as
ISOLATION Is celebrating its four
teenth anniversary under that name
this month, it has been in existence
since 1901, having developed di-
rectly from the Rochefort House,
swlEfch was established in that year.
h, The organization is primarily a
FN0clal settlement and day home for
the Southeast section of Washing
ton. The work is conducted in one
Of the Oldest houses in. the city, To-
Gated at 326 Virginia avenue south
east. This residence has histori-
cal value, as 1t was there that Gen
eral Lafayette was entertained upon
the occasion Of his last visit to the
National Capital.
@ Doing Big Work.
The settlement is doing a much
larger work than would appear pos
sible from the small quarters which
it now occupies. The rooms are set
aside for definite purposes. Two
bright, sunny rooms on the first
floor have been set aside for gen.
eral meeting purposes. It is in these
that friendly welcome is given to
ell the people of the neighborhood,
young and old, rich and poor.
An outstanding feature Is a meet

Work And Aims.

the work Of Friendship House hal
been:
To maintain day home.
To conduct social and educationa,

To plan summer outings and

To provide quarters for a public

Its aims are:
To study the needs Of the neigh

to make known and to meet these
needs.
To cooperate with all Of the social

Private Coinage.
Among the interesting specimens
are the gold coins struck off by
private interests during the gold
rush period of the forties and the
following two decades. In fact pri-
waite coinage Of gold started as
early as 1880, when Templeton
Reid, an assayest, operated mint
in Lumpkins county, Ga, near the
gold mines then being worked in
that vicinity.
The most valuable Of the private
mintage, however, includes the
coins struck off during the early
development of the gold mines OF
Colorado and California. So ex-
tensively was private coinage

Collection Is Unique.
Internationally the collection is not
only one of the most interesting in
the possession OF the Government,
but is Of unique value as refIecting
the influence OF the fine arts on
American coinage, the story Of
foreign commerce in the early days
Of the Republic, and the history Of
the varying financial conditions
through which the country has
passed.
Since the closing Of the. minis to
the public, following the hold-up in
Denver in which the mint figured
as a background for one Of the most
daring robberiers in criminal his

in the Philadelphia mint has been
Inaccessible even to student bodies.

VIRGINIA TRACK
TEAM BOOKS
SYRACUSE

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Dec. 21.-
Syracuse University's one-mile re-
lay team, intercollegiate champions,
will meet the speedsters of the
University OF Virginia, title holders
from south Of the Mason and
Dixon line, in the 174th Regiment
Armory at Buffalo on February IS,
it was announced today by Coach
Tom Keane of the Orange track
forces.
In the initial meeting with the
Nirginians one year ago the Or
ange won by the barest margin.
Coach Keane regards Bohannon,
the Southerners' anchor man, as
about the fastest 44O-yard ace on
the intercollegiate tracks.
The Orange two-mile team looks
good. but the one-miIe outfit must
gather speed before it can come
up to the great combination of
last year. the Syracuse mentor
saws.
Three OF last winters first five
uuarter-milers are running again
this year-Capt. Willis Stone,
Ralph Chesley and Chef Bowman
but Chesley is being groomed for
the Olympic sprint events. Then
there is Ike Cook. the -limbed
young sophomore quarter and half
mile star, whose running shows
more promise probably than that
Of any other speedster on the
Hin.
But in spite Of the beclouded
outlook that came with the loss by
graduation of Woodring and Monte
from the Orange mile team. SYRIA.
cuse would go into the Virginia
dual race an even favorite if it
were to be run tomorrow.
First Of these other events for
Syracuse wilI~ come the Millrose
and the Boston A. A. games. AS
usual Syracuse will take in both
meets. probably running both re-
lay teams and some individual per
formers at the New York games
and at the Hub. The Milrose A. A.
carnival occupies two days. Jan
uary 90 and 80; the Boston A. A.
meet is scheduled for February 8;
the Syracuse delegation viii hop
directly over to Boston from New
York
