Women Who Enlisted.
The New York Sun recently con
tained a lengthy article about wom
an who enlisted and fought through
the civil war. What will give the
article additional interest, says the
i Northumberland Press, is the fact
that one of the heroic women, whose
adventures in battle are described
was a young lady of Danville whose
remarkable exploit is well remem
bered by the older residents.
The methods of physical exami
nation employed during the present
war in the selection of volunteers
preclude the possibility of a woman
getting into the service. Physical
examination during the Civil war
did not amount to much more than
the recruiting officer's eye measure
ment. If the applicant approxima
ted five feet in height, and was not
obviously blind, lame, halt or deaf
and dumb, instant admission to the
ranks was given. The wonder,
therefore, does not seem so great
that a considerable number of wom
en actually soldiered as men during
the Civil war.
Following is the Sun's account of
the Danville woman :
A young woman named Mary
Owens of Danville, Montour county,
Pa., enlisted in order to be with her
husband. The girl's father was
violently opposed to her marriage.
The couple were married secretly,
and the young wife donned the
United States uniform, enlisted un
der the name of John Evans in the
same company with her husband,
endured all the hardships of the
camp and the dangers of the field,
saw her husband fall dead by her
side, and returned home wounded.
Her sex was not discovered while
she was in the service. She was in
J* service for eighteen months,
took part in three battles and was
wounded twice, both times •in her
arms. She dressed her wounds
herself in order to reserve the secret
of her sex. She was a Welsh girl,
and pretty and clever.
Those persons who are inclined
to doubt nearly everything found in
the large metropolitan newspapers
will be surprised to learn that the
above story is strictly true. Mrs.
Frederick Owens, who resides on
Hemlock street, Danville, is an
aunt of the female warrior, Mary
Owens.
Mrs. Owens, who is a pretty
widow, well up in years, was seen
at her home on Monday. The good
old lady was very much affected
while the extract from the New
York Sun was being read. ,
" Well, it is true, " she said at
its conclusion. Mary was a "wild
girl," according to the information
gathered from the aunt, and one
was left in doubt whether love of
adventure had not as much to do
with Mary's going to war as a de
sire to be with her husband. It was
her delight to masquerade among
her friends in male costume, where
she often passed unrecognized. This
was long before she went to war.
After the war she married a sec
ond time and became the mother of
four children. Her husband, how
ever, ill-treated her and this togeth
er with the hardships she endured
during her enlistment, seemed to
have the effect of shortening her
life. At the age of thirty-five she
died, having removed with her hus
band to some town in Ohio, the
name of which Mrs. Owens could
not recall.
STBAY PARAGRAPHS
—The demand for Cuban flags is
on the decline.
—lt may be true that the world
goes around, but you uever see it
all by standing in one place.
—There will be some kicking
going on if the government spills
any war "tax" on the bicycle path.
—William Jennings Bryan seems
to enjoy soldier life. He became
accustomed to roughing it during
the last campaign.
—That people would rather stand
in the shade than sit in the sun is
evidenced by the lonely appearance
of the seats around the Market
Square fountain during the day.
—Why, in a republic, should an
officer in the army receive any
higher pay than that of the private
soldier? There is a very decided
difference at present, and it is an
idea borrowed from the old mon
archies.
The Madrid government don't
exactly like Mac's peace terms, but
acceptance will save a heap of
trouble. Give them a little time to
recover.
—Oregon is a great wheat pro
ducing state, and Oregon recently
gave the goldbugs a vote of confi
dence, but that was before the price
of wheat dropped 50 per cent. How
do the Oregon wheat raisers like
the situation now? Perhaps no
better than the Oregon silver miners
and the Southern cotton growers.
—lf you should see a fellow man
with trouble's flag unfurled,
And looking like he didn't have a
friend in all the world,
You're sure to know that he is one,
although he does not say,
Who feels and knows that he is
but a
tool
of
big
boss
Quay.
—A youpg British soldier was
conducting a party from the United
States over the citadel at Quebec.
One member of the party was a
small maid of nine, and to her the
young soldier devoted most of his
attention. She was a saucy child,
full of enthusiasm, and blessed
with the earnest, aggressive patriot
ism of extreme youth.
" Here," said the soldier, as they
stood before two worn, brass can
non, " are two guns we took from
your people at the battle of Bunker
Hill," and he smiled in triumph.
Nonplussed for a moment, the
child was still; then she looked up.
" Come home, with me," she said
softly, " and I'll show you a whole
country we took away from your
people about the same time."

MORE TROOPS NEEDED
MANY NOW IN EASTERN CAMPS MAY
HAVE ACHANCE TO GO.
Gen. Merrlnm Notified That Gen. Merritt
Has Asked for a Large Increase In Hl#
Command—Fourth Manila Kxpedltlon
Arrives Safely at Honolulu.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 3.—Although
the war department officials will not
admit that they have any information
of reinforcing further General Mer
rltt's forces at Cavlte, there is canon
to believe that some of the troops now
In eastern camps who desire to see
active service will soon find the oppor
tunity unless the government shall
change its present plan, with respect
to the Philippines.
It Is believed to be necessary even If
our claim Is limited to the claims stat
ed In the conditions submitted to Bpaln,
namely, to the military occupation and
government of the territory on the
Bhnres of the bay of Manila to furnish
to General Msrritt a larger force than
he has now at his command.
It Is realized that 20,000 soldiers oan
scarcely be expected to maintain United
States possessions and protect the in
habitants over a territory of this ex
tent. for It must be remembered that
the bay of Manila Is twenty-five miles
deep from the entrance at Corridor Is
land to the city of Manila at Its head.
It will also be necessary to possess
protection extending some distance
back to the bay In order to make sure
of the preservation of the water works.
Of course a considerable force would
not be necessary If the Insurgents un
der Agulnaldo could be taught to real
ize their Interests lie In the permitting
of United States possession of the ter
ritory.
But the natives would not keep the
rich loot to be had In Manila without
an adequate force to protect the place.
Then with the growing heat and damp
ness it Is to be expected that illness
will develop among the troops: not|to
the extent that It appeared at Santiago,
but sufficient to require some of the
men to be invalided home and their
places to be taken by fresh troops from
the United States. At present the
large majority of General Merritt's
force Is composed of troops drawn
from the Pacific coast or far western
states.
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 3.—ln reply
to a dispatch received from General
Merritt, now at Cavlte, General Merri
am yesterday cabled that since the de
parture of the governor general of the
Philippines five transports with 4,897
men had sailed from this port.
Scarcely had the message been sent
before General Merrlam received word
from the war department that Gener
al Merritt had asked to have his com
mand increased from 20,000 to 50,000
troops In order to be able to meet any
emergency which may arise on account
of the hostile attitude of Agulnaldo and
the insurgent forces.
Fourth Kxpeclitlnn at Honolulu.
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 2.—The
steamer Doric, which arrived last eve
ning, brought news of the arrival at
Honolulu of the fourth Manila expedi
tion. The Doric left Honolulu last
Monday. The transports arrived there
the day before with all on board well
and on Monday the boys in blue were
ashore and were given a royal recep
tion and a grand feast.
The fourth exoedltion left here July
15 and reached Honolulu without mis
hap to either of the vessels. Great
preparations are being made at the is
lands for a grand celebration on the
arrival of the annexation commission
ers and the raising of the Stars and
Stripes.
The recruits of the First Colorado,
Second Oregon and First Nebraska, by
order of Brigadier General King, have
been added to the command of Lieu
tenant Colonel Barnett, making, with
the recruits of the Tenth Pennsylva
nia, a force of 1,0000 men. This action
was taken in order to mobilize the
scattered Camp Merritt forces.
CHANGES AT THE NAVY YARD.
Large Contracts to Be Awarded Shortly
by Secretary Long.
Washington, Aug. 3.—Contracts Tor
nearly $760,000 worth of work at the
New York navy yard will be awarded
by Secretary Long during the next few
weeks. The principal Job Is the repair
of timber dock No. 2, which Is In need
of a new entrance and extensive alter
ations. The dock has been In use but
a few years, and is already in bad con
dition. This work will not be under
taken until the new timber dock is com
pleted. The contractor's time on that
structure expires in about two weeks,
and the experts believe there will be
no delay in the delivery of the dock to
the government.
The other contracts are for two new
storage houses to cost $70,000; the ex
tension of the railway system, $25,000,
and for a crane, SIOO,OOO. It has not
been derided whether a travelling crane
or a floating crane will be built. The
engineers favor the latter.
Again Tom Iteed.
Portland, Me., Aug. 3.—The Repub
licans of the First district of Maine
held their convention here yesterday.
After preliminary business the name
of Mr. Reed was presented to the con
vention by Hon. J. W. Symonds of
Portland. The nomination was secon
ded by Hon. H. 11. Burbank of Saco,
and Mr. Reed's name waß accepted by
acclamation amid much enthusiasm.
Later, Mr. Reed appeared on the floor
of the hall. He was greeted with deaf
ening applause, which prevailed until
he began to speak. Then some one
shouted: "Take the platform!"
"No," said Mr. Reed. "Let me have
my way once," and the convention
broke into laughter.
