Silver Star to Mark the Place Where He Wa Made Presi dent of the Confederacy. Montgomery, Ala., May 21. The spot on the balcony of tbe State Capitol on which Jefferson Davis stood when inaugurated, thirtysix years ago, as President of the Con federacy of Southern States was marked this afternoon by the So ciety of Daughters of the Con federacy, who placed ; a 12-inch silver star there. A procession consisting of a large body of vet erans, the State military, State executive officers, the city, offi cers, and officers of the society marched to the capitol at six o'clock to the music of bands. Gen. J. W. Sanford, of Montgom ery, an intimate friend of Mr. Davis, and who stood near him at his inauguration, presided, and showed the spot on which Mr. Davis stood. Gen. Sanford said the Southern people had nothing to apologize for in their action and paid a tribute to Mr. Davis, and said: 'If we were-rebels, then to rebel is right. If Jefferson Davis was a traitor, then treason is the higher virtue." Miss Mattia Henry Tompkins, of Montgomery, delivered the star to Gov. Johnson, who re ceived it for the State in a speech extolling Mr. Davis and the Con federate cause. When the star was set it was covered with piles of roses.

San Francisco May, 21. The Salvation Army and the Citizens' Committee 'axe working hard to solve the problem of finding work for the . unemployed " of this city. It looks now as though several hundred persons "would be set tled in a colony at Salinas and raise sugar v beets for Claus Spreckels's big beet-sugar facto ry. The scheme is to get Gov- j eminent land and the use of other j farming land and settle colonies of unemployed, furnishing them with tools and food till they can raise a crop. Claus Spreckels offered to-day to take all the sugar beets raised in the Salinas Valley at $4 a ton. He cited the c&se of a couple of Danes in the Salinas region, who last year netted $7,000 from a crop of beets They got fifteen tons of beets from each acre. - At the same time a man on the next ranch raised only six tons of beets to the acre. The differ ence, was, due to the activity and industry of the Danes. The two pieces of land were entirely the same in character. Shreckels said the market for beets could not be overstocked. Helen of Troy, Ninon De FEnclos- Beatrice Cenci and Mary Stuart Had It. " C . Since time immemorial ' red hair has ben the object of ill humor.. d jokes just why no one seems to know, unless it be that Tudas Iscariot was thus endowed. And yet, despite the popular prejudice against auburn locks, there are few things more beau tiful than a woman with such hair. J ';. - Red-headed , women have played prominent parts in the world's history and have caused many a kingdom to tremble and even fall.' Helen of Troy was redf headed, and she certainly caused trouble enough for one woman. Catherine I, of Russia, Joan of Arc. Elizabeth of Eng land, Mary Stuart, Anne of Aus tria, Ex-Empress Eugenie, Ninon de I'Enclos, Lucretia Bor gia and Beatrice Cenci had red hair and all are famous. Nevertheless, it is a curious fact that in all ages there has been aversion to hair of this hue. Red bas always been con sidered the color of war and bloodshed, -and the cruelest gods of savage races have always been adorned with red topknots. The ancient Egyptians were violently opposed to red hair, and once a year burned a maiden of this description in the hope of exterminating or lessening what they considered a curse. In Spain red hair is abhorred on the ground that it is J udas hair." Among some savage races red hair is held in great esteem, especially among some of the Alaskan tribes. In New Zealand a redsheaded woman is considered as on the right road to paradise. Students of red hairology say that a woman thus adorned is more cruel, brighter, more decep tive and more ambitious than a woman having other color hair. Whatever truth there may be in this, it is a fact that red-haired women have a strange f ascinaa tion for most men, and red-head ed old maids are almost unknown.

B CONKEY COMPANY, Publishers, Wl Dearborn Btr A HOT FIGHT WITH BANDITS. Millionaire Callahan Alive He Saw His Partner Butchered By Mexican Outlaws. St Louis, May 21. Mr. Ed ward Callahan, owner of the Bar ranca silver mine, yielding 100 tons of $20 ore per day, and a millionaire, is at the Terminal Hotel. He is en route to New York, , where he expects to have the best: treatment for injuries he received in a fight with bandits. It was widely reported at the time that he had been killed. On April 29 Mr . Callahan and his partner, James E. Kaline, were held up near Amcca, Mexico, by Mexican bandits while on their way to their mine with the weekly pay roll . After receiving twelve knife wounds, Mr. Callahan fell across the wagon seat, weak from the loss of blood. Lying there, helpless, he witnessed a terrible sight. "The team had travelled per- haps 100 yards after we were at tacked," said Mr, Callahan, "and about twenty feet back, lying in the middle of the road, I saw Jim. He was on his face, but I could see he was not dead, although the blood was pouring from a wound in his back and dyeing the dust about him. As I lay there, helpless, I saw his hand steal back to his gun, and a sudden hope sprang up within me. But the Mexicans, too, had seen the move, and it cost poor Jim his life. "With a yell, one of the fel- ows sprang on him and wrenched his gun from his belt. I had raised my head to see, and point ing the six:-shooter, he fired every chamber at me, but without effect, although I dropped down again. 'Ihen, raising his dirk. which was at least eighteen inches ong, he plunged it into poor Jim's body repeatedly, nearly every blow, as examination afterward showed, going through him . Then he raised his dirk once more, and shouting to his companions the bull-fighter's 'finr plunged the dirk into the body between the shoulders with all his might. Then they came toward me. "1 thought they were going to finish me in the same way, and I sprang op as they approached. One of tbem shot at me, but did not : hit me, and three sprang on the wagon. J seized one and threw him oft bodily, then jumped myself. I backed up against the edge of the road and faced them, and they did not come nearer, but contented themselyes with throw- ; stones at me. One struck me on the head, while another broke my nose. I fell, and the last I remember was one of them say ing: 'Let's finish him.' "The others replied that 1 would not live . anyway, and, jumping into the wagon, they drove off, taking the, silver with them. "Whenl recovered conscious ness I was at the house of Dr. Selosia. He bandaged me up and sent me to Guadalajara. There I was again doctored, and last week was out of bed. Now I'm going to New York to get fixed up as well as the best surgical aid can doit." Mr, Callahan left Philadelphia eight years ago and went to Mex ico . He prospected for a while and met Kaline, who had formerly lived in Ottawa, la. They formed a partnership, and in 1893 struck the lode which made them rich, ten miles from Ameca, State of Jalisca. - Don't Tobacco Spitjand Smoke Tour Life AW7l - Ifvouvant to quit tobacco using easily and forever, be made well.strong magnetic, luu of new me ana Tigor, take No-To-Bac. the wonder worker that makes weak men strong.

The Council of the East Caro lina Diocese re-assembled in St, Stephen's Episcopal church in this city at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and after the reading of the minutes of the morning session by the secretary Rev. F. U. Skinner,the Bishop announced the report of the trustees of St. Mary's School, Raleigh, as the special order for that hour. The report was read by Dr. Strange, and shewed the school to be in a thriving condition. Dr. Strange reported that the Diocese of North Carolina had bargained for the property ofSt. Mary's School for which they had promised to pay $50,000, and that the board of trustees had been incorporated under tho laws of the State. There are to be sixteen trustees in all; eight from the Diocese of North Carolina, four from the Diocese of East Carolina, and four from the missionary jurisdiction of Asheville. A payment of $10, 000 must be made on the school property in the near future, and it was proposed by members of the Council to devote the$3,000 which they now have on hand for educational purposes toward this payment. This move met with right much opposition, and a lengthy discussion ensued. The matter was finally made a special order for 10:30 o'clock this morn ing, when it will be disposed of. Rev. Stewart McQueen, the clerical trustee from this Diocese of the University of the South, made his annual report, which showed the University to be in a prosperous condition. It opened this year with a larger number of students than for many years. The University is situated at Se wanee, Tenn., and most of the Southern Dioceses are banded to gether for its support, which ex plains why there is a trustee from this Diocese. The Council adjourned to meet at 9;30 this morning. WOMAN S AITXILIAIIY.

Take No Medicine Unless You Are Sick, Munyon decries dosing and doping. Why should the glorious springtime be the signal for a deluge . Of Thvsic. and t.he rrnlil associated with the excessive drinking of rum and whiskey disguised as bit . ters? Medicine should only be given I to the sick, and should always be ad ministered with gentleness and dis cretion. Medicine should be to Nature only a delicate rebuke of error and a kind encouragement of the physical forces for good. The hard work of re covery is done by Nature itself. C The human body is more delicate than tha finest mechanism, more sensitive than the tenderest plant. To shatter the liver with mercury, to madden the nerves with morphine and chloral, and to . flay and burn the stomach with every poison black-listed with skull and cross-bones, is torture more demonic than the Inquisition.
