STORY OF A HEROINE.

IT CONCLUSIVELY PROVES THAT MOLL PITCHER WAS NO MYTH. A

Interesting: DeWli About the Life and Death of the Titian Haired Woman Who Served a Gnu In the I tattle of Monmouth.

tlon.l

HE war in which the United States has engaged in the name of humanityis rapidly developing heroes, and

doubtless will bring to the front heroines of which Mollio Pitcher of the Revolutionary array was a type. The hdroiue of the battle of Monmonth who served the cannon after her hnsband was stricken down at the post of duty has received brief mention in history, and even now writers are declaring that she was a myth or locating her domicile in various states. It is with a view to furnishing evidence as to her identity and her early life that this article is written. The main facts are furnished by "Commodore" Porter of Carlisle, Pa., distant relative of the heroine who was named "Mollie Pitcher" by the Pennsylvania soldiers because she carried water in a pitcher for them on the hot and dusty battlefield. "Mollie," or "Moll," was Mary Hays, wife of Sergeant John Hays, an artillery officer in Colonel Irvine's command, who had been a barber at Carlisle before the war, but wont to tho front with the "Associations, as tho colonial militia of Pennsylvania was called.

Before her marriage she was Mary Ludwig, daughter of John George Ludwig, who came to Pennsylvania from tho Palatinate. She was born Oct 18, 1744, and took service in tho house of Genoral William Irvine at Carlisle, Pa. She married John Hays July 24, 17C9.

When the Revolutionary war broke out, hor husband enlisted in Proctor's First Pennsylvania artillery, which was later attached to tho Seventh Pennsylvania liue, commanded by Colonol Irvine —and a part of the famous riflemen of General Wayne—which did such terrible execution against Moncton's grenadiers and "the heavenly pretty redooats" at Princeton and Monmouth.

With a spirit born of the frontier, whore the wives and youths guarded their homes agaiitst the Indian savages whilp the husbands and older sons were fighting for freedom in their homespun suits, Mary Hays accompanied her husbaud to the battlefield and shared its fatigue and perils.

The buttle of Monmouth was fought Juno 38, 1778, and the stubborn valor and heroic) conduct of tho Pennsylvania line had an important bearing upon the success of the patriot arm a Lossing says that it was one of the hottest days of tho year, and the battlo opened at 6 a. m., continuing until night.

In the patriotic verses of tho Revolutionary period this heroine's action at Monmouth is thus set forth:

JdoHle Pitcher, who stood by her pun, And rammed the charges home, sir, And thus on Monmonth'A bloody field

A nergwuit did bocomo, sir. How Mollie looked as a gunner bold has been portrayed by those ever swift to use patriotism to advertise their business. There is no an then tits picture of hor to bo found. A Revolutionary contemporary curtly says, "She was stout mid red and a coarse and uncouth looking female."

Doubtless upon that arid day the am axon an patriot, sunburned and begrimed with the smoke of battle, did not compare favorably with the Tory belles of Philadelphia who praised "the heavenly pretty rodcoats" with whom they daucod and played in Major Andre's "Misehianzn" while the patriot army was starving and freezing at Valley Forgo. Others who still remembered her years ago said that she was a buxom lass, with rosy, pluxup cheeks and reddish hair which later in life was mixed with gray Hor eyes were mild blue, and one became blind by accident. In old age her form became bent According to the oldest inhabitants, she wore a short skirt of blue with white stripes, and her head was covered by a broad white cap with white flaring ruffles* 8he also wore & sun bonnet, and her woolen stockings were of her own knitting. Heavy, serviceable shoes covered her feet This description relates to her as a very old ^oman, for she died Jan. S3, 1833, over 66 years ago* at the advanced age of 88. "Uncouth" and "ooarse" she may have been. but when she rushed to the side of her fallen husband with her Titian red hair streaming over her strong shoulders and her bine eyes flashing as die served the gun she must have been the central figure of a picture of strength and heroism that any painter would have delighted to immortalise on canya& To this figure enchantment is lent lay her glorious head of hair, the hair which made Helen an Aphrodite and caused Titian to place upon his heroines a crown of gold.

Well has Apuleius said In The Meta jaorphosis, "How exquisitely charming Is hair of beautiful hue and rich luster when it flashes back the rays of the ton or shines with milder radiance and varies its lowly aspect with every1 eh— ~r light, now emitting bright-

Near the entrance to the United States Indian school at Carlisle, formerly nsed as United States barracks, still stands the old stone guardhouse whose walls are over four feet thick, the product of those Hessian prisoners taken by Washington at Trenton that frosty December morning in 1776. At this post 8ergeant Mollie lived for many years after the Revolution, cooking and washing for the soldiers at the barracks. Afterward she kept a small shop, oi store, in the southeastern part of Carlisle near the house in which Major Andre and Lieutenant Despard were confined after their capture at Lake Cham plain in 1776. Her last "years were passed in a stone house, corner of Bedford and North streets.

At her death she was a meinher of the Lutheran church and had the respect oi all. That her patriotic services were then known and recognized is proved by the press of that day. The Carlisle Herald of Thursday, Jan. 25, 1832, had this death notice: "Died, on Sunday last, Mrs. Mary McCauley (better known by the name of Molly McCauley), aged 90 years. "The history of this woman is some what remarkable. Her first husband' name was Hays, who was a soldier in the war of the Revolution. It appears she continued with him while in the army and acted so much the part of heroine as to attract the notice of the officers. Some estimate may be formed of tho value of the service rendered by her when the fact is stated that she drew a pension from the government during the latter years of her life."

The American Volunteer had this no tice: "Died.—On Sunday last in this bor ough, at an advanced ago, Mrs. Mary McCauley. She lived during the days of the Revolution, shared its hardships and witnessed many a scene of blood and carnage. To the sick and wounded she was an efficient aid, for which and being the widow of an American hero she received during the latter years of her life an annuity from the government. For upward of 40 years she re sided in this bor#ugh, and was during that time recognized as an honest, obliging and industrious woman."

By the laws of Pennsylvania for 1822 a special act granted her a gratuity of $40 and the same amount semiannually thereafter during her lifo in recognition of her services during the Revolution. Commenting upon this aot, The Chronicle of Philadelphia said: "It appeared satisfactorily that this heroine had braved the hardships of the camp and the dangers of the field with her husband, who was a soldier in the Revolution, and the bill in her favor was passed without a dissenting voice."

The monument to the heroine's memory was unveiled July 4, 1876, and was erected by the citizens of Carlisle. The leador in this enterprise was Peter Spohr, who had known "Mollie Pitcher" and was present at her funeral and knew the spot where she was buried, although the grave had been unmarked. Ho remembered the spot as the south eastern corner of the lot of John Noble, who died in 1804. Tho inscription on

Gladstone'* Intensity.

Early in life Mr. Gladstone seems to have heeded the advice of the Hebrew preacher, "Whatsoeverthy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." Ax illustration of tho gifted boy's intensity is told by an English writer in the acoount given by Dean Stanley of his first meeting Gladstone. The old bishop of Norwich, having been pleased with some of his son's performances, said that as a reward he would take him to visit William Gladstone, the most extraordinary schoolboy who had ever been seen.

They went to the house where b« was, and Arthur Stanley was sent out into the garden to make acquaintance with the prodigy, who was said to be sitting in a summer house at the aid of a walk. He went and found Gladstone reading a book. As Stanley entered Gladstone looked up and said, with groat vehemence "Little boy, little boy, have you read Gray?"

Stanley, much startled, faltered oat that he had not read Gray, to which Gladstone*, with increased intensity ol manner, replied. "Than you must read Grayl

The same writer give* another illustration^ Gladstone's doing with all hi* might whatever occupied his mind: "Breakfasted with Mr. Gladstone.

SHE SIGHS FOR CUBA.

MRS. CALIXTO GARCIA HAS BEEN LONG IN EXILE.

The Wife of the Heroic Cuban Leader Has Suffered With the Patriot Army and In Spanish Dnngeoni—A Life Filled

With Adventure.

[Copyright. 1838, by American Press Association.] No woman in the Cuban colony in New York is better known or more popular than Mrs. Calixto Garcia, the wife of that dauntless Cuban general whose name has been so prominently mentioned of late in connection with the landing of the American troops at Baiquiri.

Mrs. Garcia is tall and of imposing presence, and, though still a handsome woman, her expressive face shows traces of her severe experiences as the wife of a soldier who has passed through a greater number of vioissitudes than ordinarily fall to the lot of such. Like most Cuban women, Mrs. Garcia is domestic in her tastes, devotes herself to her children and waits anxiously for the day, now seemingly near at hand, when Cuba shall be free and her husband restored to his home and family.

She married General Garcia when 17 years old, and when the war broke out in Cuba in 1868 she had three chil dren, the eldest being then 4 years. The Garcia family group at that time com-

MRS. CALIXTO OARCIAF5^

Any detailed biographical mention of this truly noble and devoted lady would be incomplete without some notice of at least the salient features in the life of her husband.

General Calixto Garcia was born in Holgnin, Cnba, in 1840, and is consequently now in his fifty-eighth year. He belonged to a wealthy and distinguished family and was educated in Cuba and abroad. He early identified himself with the cause of Cuban liberty and when the Ten Years' war broke out in 1868 made common cause with the revolutionists. "This involved much mqre to him tnan to the rank and file of the Cuban army, for he had to sacri floe his extensive plantations and other sources of his wealth.

In 1874, with a small band of insurgent troops, General Garcia was surprised by a large force of .Spaniards. The small band fought with the most determined valor but, surrounded on every side, General Garcia and a few wounded Cubans wsce all who were left alive. Foreseeing capture inevitable and resolved not to be taken alive, General Garcia drew a revolver, and placing the muzzle beneath his chin pulled the trigger. The ball passed through the roof of his mouth and made its exit through the forehead almost midway between the eyes. A large white soar still marks the spot. Desperate as was the general's condition, the Spanish surgeons saved his life He was afterward sent as a prisoner to Spain and for a long time was confined in a dungeon.

finally, through the efforts of his family, he was released on parole, one of the conditions being that he should never leave Madrid. When the present revolution broke out in Cuba, he communicated with the leaders in the movement and finally decided to leave Spain. He took passage disguised to New York in October, 1895, and for some time after arriving there lived with bis family at 23$ West Forty-fourth street

prised Mra Garcia's mother and sisters and an equal number of her husband's relatives. All these women, with the children, followed the Cuban army for two years and suffered terribly from heat and hunger, while there was ever present the danger of capture and its sequel of a Spanish dungeon. During this period they had no shelter but a rude hut in the woods, and their supply of food was so uncertain that they were often upon the point of starvation

All these risks were voluntarily assumed by Mrs. Garcia. She could have lived secure beyond the reach of danger, and her husband urged her to forsake the camp. She could not be persuaded to do this, as she was desirous of being near him and aiding him in every way possible. A prioe was finally placed upon General Garcia's head, and a reward was also offered for the capture of Mrs. Garcia, owing to the assistance she and her family were giving to the Cuban causo.

Mrs. Garcia in recalling her experiences recently said that a month was tho longest they ever remained in one place, and frequently they could only remain a day. Under such circumstances her son Justo was born in 1869 When 4 days old, the camp was surprised by Spanish guerrillas at night, and Mrs. Garcia and her children found temporary safety in flight. Shortly afterward they were captured and kept prisoners in Havana for two years. When released, she made her way to New York, where she has resided ever since. After leaving Cuba Mrs. Garcia did not see her husband until his escape from Spain, six years later. Her son .lusto isuow in a Spanish prison In Cnba, and another son, Carlos, is with, his father fighting to free Cuba.

TRAINS ARE DECREED.

A

Conspicuous Feature of Feminine Gowtts In Autumn Style*, [Special Correspondence.]

NEW YOKE, July 11.—There is a providence for the comic papers and those who write for them, and when one series of jokes begins to pall on public teste something else comes up. Jnst now the gowns are going to give them lots of things to say about sweeping the streets, and so forth, for almost every gown seen this coming fall will have a train of several inches, and this unusual length will also be carried to the front of the dress, so that it will be necessary to hold it .\|£ with one or both hands, leaving the back to trail. We all know that it is a foolish and an unhealthy thing, but we will do it nevertheless.

Besides the trained street gowns we are asked to literally cover ourselves with lace and to that end new ideas in wide and all over laces are provided for deep flouncings. Whole waists,- tablier fronts and fichus and pelerines are offer-

ed, besides many other things too numerous to mention. This week the new things are all over guipure with the straggling design done in ruched ribbon in quarter and half inch widths. The ribbon forms the pattern and the lace fills the interstices, being mostly in web of different degrees of closeness, with little flowers of lace set wherever the ribbon design leaves space. For trimming of fine stuffs, dresses, capes and millinery there is a pretty lace, white with black silk run around the entire design. It is alight lace. A heavier one has an application of black chenille along the edges and outlining the design. This is generally made as an insertion and is laid along skirts as flounce trimming or to define the line of the tablier or tunic skirt. Guipure applique is a new white lace, and it has no regular edge, being simply the central pattern. It is to be sewed flat on anything it is intended to trim. It is exceedingly rich and elegant, though Sfnor than the heavy Irish and

points, which are now very closely imitated. These two last named laces are made into shaped flounces from 10 to 20 inches deep and some have a front breadth woten in with tho rest. Others again have side panels woven all on the piece. There are black and white, ivory, ecru and colored lacos, brown being quite anew idea.

The samples of thenew silks for early fall show many stripes and among them many magpie effects, mostly in taffetas. Tho failles, heavy grosgrains and corded silks will be worn for more formal occasions, but it is now thought that taffeta will be the favorite silk for all ordinary purposes. The taffetas are produced in black, other solid colors, glaoe, checks and stripes of various widths.

There are satins of several grades, principally the duchesse, and rhadames, also thick corded silks and others with raised figures for cloaks and mantles, and velvet is to have a prominence far surpassing that of last year. Velvet ribbons will be used to as great an extent as before for trimmings, but the narrow silk ribbons will be even more largely employed than ever as ruchings and frills. On one black taffeta skirt there were four frills of black satin ribbon just half an inch wide, and these were edged with a very full ruffle of white Valenciennes also half an inch wide. The effect of this was very novel and pretty.

There are many nice and really cheap woolens among the fall output. Cashmere is produced in many colors and weights and it always waa a handsome material. It makes up well and is durable and in well chosen colors is elegant All woolen goods now being made up have waists of the same as the skirt. There are some nice foulards with irregular dots and splashes of white or color. The tendency is for goods in solid color, though there are still many bayaderes and plaids and also figured and printed goods shown. The bayaderes require to be made by a past mistress in the dressmakers' art, otherwise they "had better never been born." There are some new woolen canvases partly opaque, and these made up over lining of another color are very handsome. Bat of all, the black and army and navy blue will be the favorites.

Basques and some waists are rapidly displacing the blouses and they do look neat and refreshing to eyes accustomed to the loose, shapeless things won so

Valuable Ware.

At the Saveton sale, in London, a few years ago, a service of old Sevres ware was sold for $5,000. The genuineness of this set was proved by certificates issued to the owners by the French government, writes F. Vizetelly in Godey's. But by far the most valuable service turned out at the Sevres pottery (in 1778) was made for the Czarina Catherine II of Russia and consisted of 745 pieces, which cost $65,630.

The Sevres ware, old or modern, is usually light in color and daintily decorated with flowers or figure subjects tastefully arranged. The porcelain itself, although of good texture, is inferior to that of the English potteries. Decorated pieces generally bear pictorial panels on white ground, surrounded by frames of gilt scrollwork. These, as well as the tableware, are quite in keeping with the national character. Although the Sevres works are still in operation, they are kept busy in copying ancient Chinese and Japanese models instead of increasing their reputation in the manufacture of the wares which made them famous.

It is said that something bordering on the miraculous has lately happened at Tiekton, a village in Yorkshire. A farmer bought what he thought wag a drinking trough for his cattle, which did very well for all his stock but one, and this was a cow that never would drink from it. This causing some inconvenience, tin farmer mentioned it, until the fact came to the ears of a local antiquary, who on examination pronounced tho supposed trough to bo a font, and further research showed that it had once stood in the village church. It has now been recovered and replaced. —English Country Newspaper.
