Timothy March. $3.85. Clover March, 18.75. riolton csk vo Washington, March 19 Five years ago Miss Mary McCann, then a girl of 14 yt ara, waded out Into the water at the risk of her life unci saved nine children imperiled by the burning picnic boat Gen. Slocum near New York.

Yesterday, blushing and abashed in the pnsence of greatness, she tremblingly accepted a silver life saving medal on behalf of congress presented by Joseph (J. Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives. The aged speaker, in the presence of innocence and bravery, forgot the storm and stress that four years have beat over his shoulders, forgot the bitterness that has recently attended his career, forgot the fight that men are making even yet to crib the implacable will the "iron duke' for the instant swept all else aside and in a burst of sentiment took the young woman's face between his hands and kissed her. Speaker's Eyes Grow Moist. "It is said there is but a hair's breadth between insanity and heroism." he said.

"How fortunate it was that on that day you were on the side of heroism," and he gazed at the heroine while moisture gathered in his eyes. Mr. Cannon concluded, however, that when put to the test most of the human family are likely to prove themselves heroes or heroines. Despite the words of those who clothe themselves in hypocrisy and tell the people things are going to havoc, the speaker said, America and the world are all right. The event took place In the speaker's rooms at the capitol.

Representative Goulden of N'ew York, in whose district -Miss McCann lives, explained, in introducing Mr. Cannon, that for four years search had been made to find the girl to confer this honor upon her. Concluding his speech on the subject, Mr. Cannon said: "And now permit me to present to you an expression of appreciation of your heroism, and may your tribe Saved Nine, Went After Tenth. Miss McCann when the Slocum was burned was recovering frrtm scarlet fever on North Brothers island.

After she had rescued the nine children from the doomed steamer she started back for the tenth, but her strength failed her and she herself was in danger for a time. She is one of nine persons who received medals from congress for bravery in connection with the ill fated ship. All but Miss McCann are men. The young woman is about to be graduated as a nurse from a training school in this city. A number of women from the institution accompanied her.

A group photograph of Miss McCann, the speaker, and others was taken at the conclusion of the ceremonies.
