Lent = Fortune to Je6. Davtas
From the New York world.l
A Mississippi correspondent of the
World enables us to-day to lay before
our readers an interesting account of
the life and character of the lady who
has thus shown her practical devotion
to the "Lost Cause " in way which
must compel the admiration even of
those who least sympathize with the
feelings and opinions to which it gives
expression.
Mrs. Sarah A. Dorsey, who died in
New Orleans on the 4th inst, was one
OF the most notable women of the South.
The New Orleans papers in their notices
OF her death have scarcely done full
justice to her, and have failed to note
some OF the most Interesting points in
her history.
Mrs. Dorsey was . Miss Ellis, of a
well known wealthy family Of Natchez,
Miss, where she was born in February,
1899. She was niece of Mrs. Gather
inc Ann Warfield (nee Warel. the novel;
ist, author of . The Household of Bon.
verie,' Is Beauseincourt, - and other ro-
mances OF strange, wild, weird origin
atty and power. Mrs. Warfield's frst
publications were two volumes of poems
(184S and 1844), by herself and her sis
ter, Mrs. Eleanor Percy Lee, who ap-
peared before the public as " 1.-TWO Sis.
tiers of the West" Mrs. Lee died soon
afterwards, and Mrs. War6eld's subse-
quent literary career was confined ex.
clnsively to prose fiction. She died in
1877. leaving her niece. Mra Dorsav ",

Mr.. Cyrus W. Field, OF the New York elevated
railroad, told reporter lately that nothing
under heaven could tempt him to have ANYTHING
to do with MIR. samuel j. Tnden either socially
or In business, and, though declining to give
information as TO the specific nature OF the
grievance, finally limited that 1t was because
Ttlden had unloaded stock In the elevated road
to vast extent While he (Field) was out OF the
country, and In violation of the agreement under
which Tilden got the stock. Tilden now denies
that there was any agreement of the
kind. He sold the stock, as he had the right
TO do, because he regarded the management
OF the road with distrust, and because prom
Ee that person named by him should be made
director had not been kept. Incidentally In
making his explanation he throws some light
upon the elevated railroad business In New
York. He says the common sense Of these
elevated railroads is In nutshell. They cost
ir construction ten times-perhaps twenty
l.: es-as much as an ordinary locomotive rail-
fcs-d. They do their work at rates not more
than half, sometimes not more than quarter.
OF those charged by ordinary locomotive rail-
roads. The elevated railroads are possible as
Ier lucrative existenees only In the densest
city population. Perhaps they would not have
proved very profitable anywhere except for the
heavy fall in iron and other costs OF con5trnc
uon. These works were peculiar want OF the
CITY II New Yord caused By its geographical
COL. euration. They Will do much to develop
Its cpulatlon and prosperity.
AS Mr.. Tilden made an odd million OF dollars
oy unloading his stock just at the time when
MI Field was on the Atlantic On his way to
Europe the pensive public win be apt to think
the latter may have more OF a grievance than
Mr.. T1lden Is disposed to admit.

Who Are Thew

Editor Star:-WhO are the paving contractors
who so fDsOlently defy public opinion by main
tanning the asphalt boiling nuisances?
SUFFERER.
1t Is understood that the boiling concern on b
and 18th streets northwest, Is the property of
W. j. Dawes & Co., the Grahamite Trinidad AS
phaltum Company. That On and 11th streets
northwest, Is owned by Crawford, Hoffman &
FDbert, operators in asphalt and btumlnous
concrete pavements. The establishment on
North Capitol street Is run by Messr5 Baldwin,
Barber and Langdon, paving contractors. The
latter comaany are removing their works,
either In Difference to public opinion or to
legal pressure. The two other nuisanceS are
still In full blast. That OF Dawes Co. is said
to be the most offensive on account OF the crude
nature OF the material used but 1t Is not quite so
centrally located as the establishment of Gran
ford, Hoffman & Co., and the nauseating fumes
DO not sicken so many people. The latter COM
pany have promised to move after the expiration
OF their present contract In September; but as
they made the same promise last year and
broke II, the public Will MT feel the most entire
confidence In the present assurance. Dawes &
Co., 1t is said, claim to have secured some sort
OF ownership OF the ground they infest, and
declare purpose to hold the fort, whether the
public like 1t or not. There Is good legal au-
thority, however, Tor saying that those who
are annoyed or sickened by these offensive
works nave ready remedy In the courts by
swearing out warrant or getting an injunc-
ton, and In case the offending contractors do
not speedily change their base voluntarily no
doubt little legal suasion will be applied to
them to quicken their movements.
