H. ' Cameron, the portraits of Presi dent Jackson, Pope and Johnson, two of Reynolds' portraits and a famous portrait of Theodosla Burr by an un known artist. The portrait of Theodosla Burr, daughter of Aaron Burr, the saddest and most romantic character in Ameri can history, has a history too remark able to pass over without some men tion. Theodosla Burr (Mrs. Alston, wife of Governor Alston -of North Carolina) set sail from Georgetown, N. C.v to meet her father, Aaron Burr, In New brk upon his arrival from Europe. The ship she sailed in' was lost at sea, and nothing was ever known of the fate of this beautiful woman until re cently, when the picture which now forms .part of the history exhibit at the exposition was found in the posses sion, of an pld woman whose remark able story proves without a doubt that Theodosla came to her death at the hands of pirates. The portrait was found 'in the shanty of a very old wom an at Nags Head, N. C, who told the story of how a piratical crew lured ships on to the shallows by false lights, benefiting by the resulting wrecks. The painting four! in her possession was given her by one of the pirates as his share .of the -booty taken from a ship that was without a doubt the one on which Theodosla Burr set sail never to be heard of again. The collection of sliver services pre-, sented by some of the most noted fam ilies of the state also adds greatly to the value of the collection. The ex hibit in Its entirety Is one of the hand somest and best chosen which have been installed at the exposition and must be seen to be appreciated. and the, watchman. North Carolina Negro Exhibit.
