:. Southern History at Johns Hopkins.

Among the new lines of work to be I'M
dertaken at the Johns Hopkins University
next year, DR.. J. F. Jameson, associate in
history, proposes to make special efforts to
encourage the advanced students of that
department to work in the field of Southern
history in the broadcast sense-the history
OF the Southern colonies and States, the po-
litical history of the South, the history of
Southern institutions, the history Of the
Southern Confederacy. It is felt that more
work ought to be done in this attractive
field by the historical scholars of the Uni
ted States than has yet been. done; that the
advanced students of an institution in one
of the border States have exceptional OPP
portunities for doing it well, and that gath
cred together, as its students are from all
parts of the country, all such work is help
| toward the spread of broader and juster
| views Of history. In order both to slim u
late such work and to provide materials fol-
| it, DR.. Jameson proposes to make, in the Ii
brary of the historical department., collec-
ton of books upon the subject, to occupy
separate alcove, of Southern history,
and biography, or perhaps: to have a
separate room. An effort is. being mad e
to create fund of 81, 900 with which to es.
tablish such collection. Former historic
al students of the university have subscrib'
ed 800 to start with, and several wealthy
gentlemen of the city have promised con-
tributions. 1t is expected that after begin
ming has been made, and as the work of the
the university in this field advances and be.
comes more widely known contributions OF
books, manuscripts, pamphlets, newspapers
and materials Of all sorts will flow in, and
the Johns Hopkins University will become,
as it should be, great centre of work in
Southern history.-BaH. Sun, May 9Sth.

HOW SHE SAVED FORT CLENDENIN HUN
DRIED YEARS AGO.
Mr.. J. P. Hale in writing "reminiscences
of Charleston's first settlement. to the
Star says:
About 17S9-90, when. Fort Clendenin
[where Charleston W. Va. now standsl was
threatened by Indians and the ammunition
grew low, Ann Baily, or Mad Aun, as she
was called, from her eccentric habits and
brave and daring deeds as messenger, scout
and spy, rode alone, on her black pony
which she called Liverpool, +" through the
wilderness to Fort Union (now Lewisburg1
and returned safely and in time, with
supply of powder and lead.
Ann adopted a comfortable and conve
nient style of dress, since copied By DR.. Mary
Walker. She wore breeches, short petit
coats, a masculine coat and hat, rode a-strad
die, drank whiskey, chewed tobacco, swort
like trooper, and withal was "an hones
woman," loyal, brave and gentle, true
friend, and an excellent nurse.
In after years, when the KaDawha Valley
became settled, she came and went where
she listed, was welcome everywhere. ant
was often loaded with gifts from admirin&
friends. She carried her rifle and hunting
knife, and was capital shot.
She was English born, and never out
grew her cockney dialect. Ann lived to
great age, far beyond 100, and was buriet
near Gallipolis, Ohio.
