Jcllcrson Davis Enjoyed
Considerable Estate.
For
omo years past consider-
: able curiosity, nt altnetiier u '
I the unpai'donf-ble sort, lius ex
isted as to the worldly possess
ions of Mrs. JefTerson Davis, and
the income she enjoyed during
her life.
The widow of the Confeder
acy's President openly acknowl
edged that she was continually
pressed for money and that she
had to supplement her means by
her pen. Indeed this was given
as one of the reasons for her
living in the North.
It should be understood, how-
ever, that the signiticance of the : manuscripts, documents and let
word poverty varies, according ; ters, which possessed great sen-
to the station in which one moves,
and in Mrs. DaVls' case it should
not be understood that she was
by any means what the middle
classes would call poor. In truth,
sne was 10 tne Jast wnat some
people might call "well to do."
It is conservatively estimated
by one who believes he knows,
that Mrs. Davis left an estate
worth at least $40,000, and prob
ably more. Some years ago, when
the price of cotton was low, her
plantation on the Mississippi is
said to have yielded her an an
nual income ranging between
$3,500 and $4,000, and it is safe
to assume that in more recent
times it brought considerably
more-
Then too, Mrs. Davis had pow
erful friends in the newspaper
profession of the North and she
must have procured good prices
for her articles. Certainly they
were worth handsome figure's,
for her pen touched nothing but
to fcdorn it.
On the other hand, apropos of
the distinguished widow's so
called poverty, it should be borne
in mind that her station in life

Her amrtments in New York
wcr! alwiij-s luxurious and artis-
lie. Eighteen or twenty years
f.go she had a suite of rooms at
the old New York hotel, whicl
has since been pulled down, and
from there she moved to the
Marlborough. Thence she went
to the Gerard, and about a month
or so ago she established herself
at the Majestic. It was there
that she died.
In addition to the tangible es
tate of Mrs. Davis, which, it is
presumed, consists largely of re-
alty, she had a fine collection of
timental value ' in the eyes of
historians arid rplirv hunters
Naturally, all the papers of her
husband fell to her at his death,
and these of course are daily
enhancing in value. It will take
a vast deal of time and care to
assort and arrange them, espeC
ially,if they are published, and
it is supposed that this work will
be done by a literary executor
or some person named by the
family

only surviving child of President
and Mrs. Davis, is comfortably

A notable contribution Is the
first instalment of Thomas W.
Lawson's story, "Friday the
loth," a dramatically interesting '
i romance of Wall Street and its
ramifications. It has
been the
general expectation that Mr.
Lawaon could tell an intensely
interesting story, but few have
guessed his command of a vivid
and finished narrative style as
applied to the purpose of fiction.
"The Terrible Story of the
Congo, "by Robert E Hark, is a
bitter arraignment of King
Leopold and a full exposure of
the most unjustifiable conditions
existent in the civilized world
today.

as fine a piece of fiotion-work as

dainty tale that marvelously

A remarkable feature of the
Christmas Everybody's is the
