Thursday, tho 9lti, was a notable day in Richmond, Va., though not participated in so largely as some like events. Tho United Daughters of the Confederacy, under " whose auspices tho monument to Miss "Winnio" Davis was erected, un veiled that statue along with one to her father, the illustrious head of the causo of which she was the daughter, and also one to Jefferson Davis, Jr. in Holly wood cemetery. The Daughters went to the comotery in carriages furnishod by the Confederate camps. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee headed the pro cession. Tho exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. James P Smith, D. D., tin man who being on Stonewall Jackson's staff placed himself between the wounded general and the fire of the enemy on that unfortunate occasion. Addresses were made by lion. B B Mumford Hon Jno H Reagan, Post Master General of the Con federacy, and Gen. Lee. Dr. II MJClarksonrocitedthe ode, "The Daughter of the Confederacy." The memorial to President Davis is a bronze statue, and that of Miss "Winnie" is a marble representation of the Angel of Grief, with one hand extending a wreath she is about to place on the grave. Tho rig uro is more than life size. The Daughters elected Mrs. Davis honorary president of the organization. They received an invitation to hold their next annual meeting in New York. (Jen. Lec Wouldn't Sell His Same. Soon after General Lee went to Lexington, Virginia, he was offered tho Presidency of an in surance company at a salary of ten thousand dollars. He was at that time receiving only throe thousand dollars as President of the Washington and Leo Uni versity. ' 'Wo do not want you to discharge any" duties, Gen eral," said the agent, "wo simply wish the use of your name; that will abundantly compensate us." "Exeuso mo, sir," was tho prompt and decided rejoiner; "I cannot consent to rcceivopay for service i I do not render." Nearly every mail brought him similar proport and just a short while before his death a large and wealthy corporation in New York City offered him fifty thousand dollars per annum to become its president. But he re fused all such offers and quiotly pursued his chosen path of duty. Ladies Homo Journal. Cow Causes a Fatal Wreck.

Admiral Powcy tvas married to Mrs. Mildred M Ilazen, Thurs day morning at 10 o'clock at the rectory of Father Mackiu as sisted by Rev. Joseph II Foley and Rev. Sidney Hurlbut, three priests of tho Catholic church. Father Mackin is the pastor of Mrs. Hazen and Rev. Foley is assistant pastor. A special dis pensation had to bo granted to the brido to marry the admiral, as ho is not a Catholic. The whole affair was very simple. Beside tho three priests the mother, Mrs. Washington McLean and sister, Mrs. Gen. Ludlow only Mr. Caldwoll, the Admiral's secretary witnessed the ceremony which took but five minutes including a most im pressive address by tho priest before the real ceremony. Breakfast was served at Mrs. McLeans and the bridal party went to New York. The whole affair seems to have boon a model of simplicity. CAT KILLS AS EAGLE. Then Suved Her Own Life hy Unlng Her Victim as a Parachute. A tiger cat belonging to Far mer Hazard, of Herrick, Sus quehanna county, Pa., was strol ling out toward the barn a few days ago, carrying in her teeth a piece of meat for her ycung. A bald pagle, which had been hovering over tho farm for a week, suddenly descended upon her and whirled her upward in a rapid vertical flight. Tho path of ascent, to tho eye of a spectator watching tli1 scene, was clearly indicated by loose feathers violently tossed from tho point of combat. In a brief time the struggling pair came to a standstill in the sky Tho eagle's wings had dropped now and thou, and he had given plain evidence of pain and terror, yet not once had his awful grip appeared to relax. At length a descent was begun, with a rapid ity which increased every mo ment, and the two animals struck tho ground at tho very point where they had at first encoun tered each other, but tho eagle was dead, and tho cat, as soon as she felt terra firm beneath her feet, shot awny for tho barn, still carrying the bit of meat. Investigation proved that the cat had cut the eagle's thro;. I and so lacerated its breast that its body was literally laid open. After the death in midair, however, tho cat had boon too clever to re lax her hold and thus fall to tho ground, but had let her enemy servo as a parachute to ease her descent. The cat is nono the worse for her aerial flight and battle. Se lected. Can It Ite Triiel A gent leman living a few miles north of Monroe lost his bear ings, so far as the reckoning of time is coucorned, last week and did a hard days plowing seeding wheat last Sunday, lie started his plow by daylight and quit tho field a little before dark in order that ho might shave and get ready for Sunday, as he thought it a desecration of the Sabbath to shavo. on that day. As he was shaving a neighbor came up and informed him that it was Sunday andnot Saturday. It was a hard matter to convince tho man who had lost a day from his reckoning that he was wrong as to the day of tho week. Monroo Enquirer. Chamberlain's Pain Balm Cures Other. Why Wot You?

CAX'T ACCOUNT FOR V II IMS The Newspaper Cannot Hope to Please Everylxaly. We knew a man once who stopped his paper, and ordered cut his ad., because we failed to noto the fact that ho had bought and improved a ten-acre tract. Mr. Jones regards it as a per sonal offense if his local paper happens to miss noting tho fact that he bus been out of town for a few days. Mr. Smith, on the ot her hand, is greatly offended because you havo tho imperti nence to mention his departure for a coast resort. Mrs. Brown is delighted to have her after noon tea written up, smiles sweetly aud orders 50 cents' worth of papers, if you give a list of the guests and a descrip tion of tho decorations. Mrs. Gray, however, regards any at tempt to find out about her soiree as meddlesome and insulting, and slams the door in tho face of your society reporter. Now it is tolerably plain, even to a layman, that no paper can bo conducted so as to please all such parties any. more than it can at Lhe same time satisfy its read ers who want full accounts of all the murders and scandals aud those who think everything of that sort should bo omitted, and most of tho space devoted to reports of sermons, AV. C. T. U. meetings, church socials and pro found editorial disquisitions on tho merits of theosophy or tho claims of the warring factions of tho Christian Scientists. There seems to bo only one course for the legitimate news paper to pursue, and that is to publish the news and publish it on time. If you wait for the con sent of all parties interested be fore publishing a good item, it will be musty before your read ers ever s- e it . Kvory well reg ulated newspaper o'lico needs a goo.'l man to Kill items, as well as a man to gather thorn; but in general anything that is actual news, that tho public is inter ested in and has a right to know about, should be published, no mailer if it does occasionally dis please people. If a newspaper is accurate and fair in its news n ports, it can alVord to laugh at i ho idiosyncrasies of human na ture, ami go on its way rejoicing that the people will read an en terprising paper, and that tho live business man will advertise in it.

Two Who Escaped From the Italelirh Pen IliiKired Again. A Washington dispatch of the 9th says: Chief Wilkie, of tho Secret Service, was this evening noti fied of tho arrest at Dalton, Ga., of Frank Morso and W L Good win, expert counterfeiters, who have been doing business all through tho south. With these men was taken their entire out fit, including a number of coun terfeit coins. Moarsoand Good win escaped last August from the Raleigh penitentiary, where they were serving terms of im prisonment for counterfeiting. Morso was arrested at Mobile Jauuary 13, 1898, together with David N. Pierce, and something over 2,500 in counterfeit $10 silver certificates was captured from him. Morso was convicted and sentenced Juno 30, 181)8, to a term of ten years in tho Ral eigh penitentiary and fined fcu.OOO. Guodwin was arrested at At lanta July 2, 1898, with ono F J Lewis, and a numbor of counter feit coins and contraband appa ratus wero captured. November il, 1897, Goodwin sat in tho court room throughout the trial of his partner, Lewis, but when his case was called at tho conclusion, of Lewis' trial, Goodwin had disappeared. His bond was declared forfeited and a bench warrant issued for him, upon which ho was shortly after ward arrested, and on June 15, fS'.tS. was sentenced to a term of three years in tho "Raleigh .peni t:a ry.

A weather prophet predicts that the coming winter will be a mild one for the following reasons: "The husks on the coru are thinner than usual, and this is taken as a sure indication of warm weather until late in the winter. Birds that go south with tho first approach of winter have begun repairing their ne.-ts built this spring, showing they will stay in this regioti until laie in the fall. The fur of the chip munk and squirrel, which is heavy just previous to a hard winter, is found to be thin." Tn addition to this, on our own account, we notice that persim mons are scarce, some trees hav ing no fruit at all. 'Coon grapes, however, are plentiful. The mast in the woods is not great, and Nature seems to have made light provision for the birds and boast. Ex. W ajs of the Dutch. The four Sundays of Novem ber are observed as fete days in Holland. They are known by tho curious names, Review, De cision, Pui'L'hase and Possession, and all refer to matrimonial af fairs. November in Holland be ing the month par excellence devoted to courtship and mar riages, probably because the ag ricultural occupations of the year are over, and possibly be canse the lords of creation, from quite remote antiquity, have recognized the pleasantness of having wives to cook and cater for them during the long Winter. On Review Sunday everybody goes to church, and after service there is a church parade in every village, when the youths and maidens gaze upon each other, but forbear to speak. On De cision Sunday each bachelor who is seeking a wife approaches the maiden of his choice with a cere monious bow, and from her manner of responding judges whether his advances are ac ceptable. Purchase Sunday, the consent otho-parents is sought if the suit has prospered during tho week. Not till Possession Sunday, however, do tho twain appear before the world as ac tual or prospective bride and groom. Selected. The Fragments There Yet.

For somo. years the Samoan Islands have been a bone of con tention with Germany averse to policies on which England and the United States were harmo nious. At times the contention has been somewhat alarming for the mutual good will of these great powers. A treaty is about to be consutnated, which will make an equitable and satisfac tory division of islands needed ' each, so that each shall have exclusive dominion over its own. Guild Eiiouuh l'laii. The company operating a trolley car line between New Britain and Berlin Conn., lias put on a "jag'' car.

Leo attended the funeral services of tho late Gen. Guy V Henry, who was laid to rest at historic Arlington, after simple ceremonies at St. John'.-; church. The president and cabinet, and army and navy otlicers in large numbers were present at tho side of the grave when the last bugle call sounded and 'lie last salute was fired. I Oul a few years since, Gen. Henry was commandant at Fort Myer, just outside this city, and had a great, many personal friends here. There seems to be no doubt that the Slate Department is working quietly to secure for this country a port in China. Just where the United States will gain an "open door" is not stated. The department is loth to give out any statement, but practically admits that our chances fur success aro good. For some years, American capi tal has been interested in obtain ing mining, manufacturing, and railway grants in the "Flowery Kingdom." It is believed lhat the negotiations which the State Department is now carrying on are intended to insure, for both the present and future, free ac cess for American commerce to the interior of China. Admiral Crownshiold, chief of the li'ireau of Navigation, in his annual report, made public this week-, stirs up again the old Sampson slime. He arraigns Congress because of failure to properly reward the men of Sampson's Heel. The report claims tha! then" men wero not even voted a medal, something that fell to the lot of Uiomj taking part in it victory "of a morepro pitiousiiour.'' This is plainly a covert aMusion to the Battle of Manila. It. would seem that we have had about enough bicker ings on this subject. There are plenty of people in Washington, who think that Sampson ought to have a medal, but as to th material well, it would not be of the same as that voted to Dewey. Meanwhile, the Schley home fund is growing. Practical busi ness men have been interested in the project, and tho committee chtii'.s that the home is now as sured. Washington's army of tho un employed is planning an expe dition to gr:d) the Kimberly gold and diamond mines.

CALLED HOtlE. Mrs. F.Iizabctli Gihson Dies at the Ace ufH7 Three Sous and a Sister Sur vive Her The Last of Three Coiiffen i.il Landmark?. Mrs. Elizabeth Phifer G'bson, the venerable relict of Dr. Edwin R Gibson died today (Thursday) at 4:30 o'clock a. m. at the age of l'7 years and some months, having1 been born in April 112. S!:p was married in February 1K'5 and was bereaved of hi : husband after 37 years of matr; m i" . lifo. o was tho mother of si el dilren. Her only daughti i di I in infancy. Two sons c! r iijd ago preceded her to the grave, viz: William and George. Three sons now mourn tho broken tie of a mother's com forting presence, viz. James C Gibson, J Phifer Gibson and Robert E Gibson. Tho deceased has one living survivor of the parental home, a sister, Mrs. Bradshaw of No"1 York. Mrs. Gibson was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church from early lifo and was regular in her attendance on the service till enfeebled by age. Of late years and up to Sep'. 21st. 1808 there was a trio of aged landmarks in the town whose intellectual cuHure and congeniality of spirits drew them together and on occasions tin -won' 1 sip the comfort there was in getting together and rehearsing the memories of the past as such was seen iu tho light shining bright from the future through a strong and abiding faith. The people about them looked on in deased meditation and in creasing respect and veneration. On tho date above noted Esq. K-i W Allison broke the trio and en tered upon faith's fruition. On April 8, 1911 Mrs. Caroline Mc Donald entered tho door to eternity's mystic domains while Mrs. Gibson was bidden to stay amid earthly environments till now. Who will say that today these kindred spirits are not again basking in tho joys of a never ending union while thrilled with the infinite conception of a triune God. Daily of 9th.
