She Was on the Battlefield With Her Country's Army~--Placed Herself at Head of Red Cross Society. Signora Zelaya, wife of the president of Nicaragua, heads the list of heroic women of the year. She placed lierself at the head of the Red Cross society in the recent battles between her country and its foes, being on the field and where death and suffering stalked. The story was not given to the world by any en- terprising war correspondent; but by a mining engineer, James Deitrick, who witnessed some of her deeds. The Sen- ora, a woman of refinement, used to case and luxury, rode two hundred miles on muleback to reach the scene of mili- tary operation. After many obstacles and hardships she ministered to_ the wounded and dying of both armies. It was a temonstration of the heroic in womanhood seldom equalled. No won- der they call her the Florence Nightin- gale of Central America. However, while conceding the laudable courage of notable women, from Joan of Arc to the present day, there has always comié the thought that the excitement of the fray might have influenced or sus- tained them. The reading world has been reminded that Ida Lewis is still the keeper of the Lime Island light- house, Rhode Island; that she attends to her duties as faithfully as when she first assumed them as her father's successor, half a century ago. . Think of that! Fifty years as a lighthouse keeper, with thousands of human lives depending upon her faithfulness every day. She is one of the most heroic figures of. the age. She has lived a remarkable life in that lighthouse in the harbor of New- port Her--work has not been done under the inspiration of the clash of battle, with neighing steed, the rattle and roar of guns, and the god of war lend- ing inspiration; but she worked alone, where the only steeds were the great 'white horses' that rolled from old ocean; sweeping all before them remorselessly ; where the only command to charge was the pitiful cry of the drowning sailor, and the only cannonading was 'the min ute gun at sea' This woman is the greatest woman life-saver of the age She has personally and unaided saved eighteen lives, as shown by the official record, and this always at the risk of her own life, Ida Lewis is a wonderful woman, and that she is still Humbly keeping the lights burning, after hity years of such service, is the most won- derful thing about it. There can be no doubt as to woman's courage. in the face of danger. No man knows this better than the physician in active practice. Woman is not by nature a coward, either physically or morally. For instance, Lady Baker, the English woman, with her husband, did much to put down the African' slave trade. Ab solutely a stranger to the thought of personal danger, she would walk alone to the camp and into the tent of the most ruthless slave dealer and liberate and lead away his miserable captives. She was an explorer as well as ~hu- manitarian, and feared nothing in her ch for knowledge about the Dark Continent. Then Mrs. Marion Mulhall was an explorer. She faced death a score of times in the wild country be tween the Andes and the Amazon. She dared to go any place where thefe was information to gain. She was a [little bit of a woman, too, so frail that one would almost expect a strong breeze to blow her off the earth Take another class of noble women for a due meed of credit, and recall the charitable work of Mother Mary Teresa, who, clad in the habit of a nun, was made a member of the Legion of Honor of France a few years ago. The scene was in a little French town. The troops were drawn up, and the picture was brilliant, for French uniforms run to bright In striking contrast to these the flashing sabres and the gold lace, was the sombre garb of the shrink- ing form of the delicate woman in the habit of Charity. She took her place before the governor-general, head bowed, and presenting nothing so much as the colors picture of a child awa g punishment for » infantile misdec With sword drawn, and almost severe in attitude, the commanding officer shid: "Mather Mary Teresa, when you were twenty years of age you received. a wound from a cannon ball while assist ing one of the wounded on the field at Balaklava.

In forty days the hungry were fed, the sick healed, and the naked clothed. into the city, marked ever with the scar- let symbol she wore, money poured into her treasury faster than she could spend it, and scores of brave nurses and heroic assistants gathered about her. White hands that had never known labor bound the scarlet badge on their arms, and the proudest' ladies of Ger- many, under the sign of the crimson cross, went down to the help and succor of the city which their troops had con quered. Indeed, so abundant were the offerings of clothing that a message was sent to the Empress, "You. are making paupers of Strasburg with your generosity; send me material - rather than clothing, that I may hire them made up here, and thus create an in- dustry for the people" The material was sent, and twice each week hundreds of women went to her door with bas- kets to raceive work, for which they were abundantly paid. Forty thousand of the Hotel de Ville lit the city with lurid light. The streets were reeking with blood, and the air was heavy with the groans of the dying. Suddenly there appeared the same vision of mercy that came to the need of Strasburg Pale, dust-covered, travel-worn, and well nigh exhausted, for she had walked seven miles into the city; 90,000 horses having been eaten by the people, none were left for transportation. The Ger man troops outside the city detained her with no questions when thev caught the gleam of the scarlet cross. Cordons of French soldiers guarding the streets lowered their bayonets as she touched the glowing symbol, and the sullen, frenzied mob made way for her to pass I'he mayor had been reinstated in hi office but a few hours, the dust of months lay thick on books and papers, his assistants were hurrying to and fro and writing frantically I'he mayor was anxious, weary, heart-sick.

The mayor's house 'was instantly at her dis posal, but she argued, "It is too grand for my work; give me some humble place where the poor will not be afraid to come to me." "Madam, eight months ago I left my home, as I supposed, to be burned--to-day, through the grace of God, it stands intact. Is it too good for God's noor? Make it your head quarters--they will go to you any where." The hungry were fed, the naked clothed, the poor taught self- helpfulness, and then the woman of the red cross vanished When the Mississippi overflowed its banks in 1884, and people were withrnt homes, food, money, or seed for the next season's planting; suddenly out of the turbulent waters a steamer laden to her guards with provender, sustenance and comfort for man and beast, came to the rescue. Whence she came, how provisioned, by whom suppliéd, no one knew ; only a woman stood at the bow; cl with a cross "of crimson on her sleeve, and 'at the mast a banner floated--a shield of white crossed with scarlet When the floods abated and the were all supplied, the strange craft vanished and her colors were hauled down in an unknown port High up in the Balkan mountains the soldiers of Bulgaria were freezing and dying for want of supplies.
