called Duchess in society. and custom
sanctions that she may also sign herself
by that title. The Duchess, by thus
marrying commnner. would not be sum-
moned to attend any court ceremonies or
coronations. Shr would still retain her
position in society, but loses her former
social priority in court circles. The fu-
neral of the Duke of Wellington furnished
a precedent in this respect, when it was
decreed that all the ladies of rank III the

A HUGE PILE.

Eighty million dollars in bills
were shipped to Atlanta recently,
the mammoth packages Of money
filed five large dry goods boxes
and making in all more than . drav
load. None Of the bills are cur
rent, however, IS they represent
''nothing in Gods earth now and
naught in the waters below it,"
They are Confederate bills.
The huge pile Of genuine Con-
federate money was shipped there
from Richmond, Va, the former
capital Of the Confederscy, and is
now the property Of Mr.. Charles d.
Barker, of that city. The money
is of every denomination issued by
the departed nation, and in the
big collection are bills Of the rarest
type. There are bills issued du-
ring every year Of the war. Thou
sands Of them are very valuable as
relics, but the great number Of
them Mr.. Barker has on hand will
make them so common as to bring
but little on the market.
This $50, 900, 600 of Confederate
money has been all along supposed
to have been destroyed. This is
undoubtedly the largest lot Of Con-
federate money in the world.

THE UNITED STATES ARE
NOT SINGULAR.

There was . time in the history
OF these United States when there
was . great deal Of heated discus
sion Is to whether they were singu-
lar or plural. To . great many
critical minded gentlemen it SEEM
ed that the whole question whether
We are . nation or . mere confed-
Grafton Of states hung on tie de-
cision Of that point, and being A.
dent advocates Of the national the
DRY they were very strenuous in in
sisting on the singular form. In
their eyes il was . little less than
reasonable to use the collective
noun with the plural form Of the
verb, to say the United States ''are''
instead Of the United States els"
As the point was not deemed by
anyone else worth quarreling over,
those who based their claims OF
nationality on the assertion Of sim
gularlitS had it all their own way
but the question has now been de-
cided by an authority and agains,
the singularists. In . case recent
" argued before the supreme court
Of the United States, Justice Field
referred with emphasis and ap-
prevail to the fact that the United
States in the constitution are spoken
Of in the plural, citing the third
section Of article s, where it VA
declared that treason against the
United States shall consist in levy.
ing war against "them" or in I'd.
herring to "their" enemies, etc.
He cites also - . still later author.

in the thirteenth amendment, thai
neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude, except as . punishment
for crime, shall exist in the United
States, or in any place subject t.

must be- years old, or over. The
start will Be made on July Is.
The COWS are to Be MIXED and
butter churned from their milk
while they are on the road. Each
person entering . COW for the race
will receive . two-wheeled cart,
which the COW IL to draw; . COW
harness, . churn. with raw food
and cooking utensils. Drivers win
consume milk and butter on the
way, but the COW must be driven
twelve hours each day, with one
hour for stops. The COW first ~.
irving at the Worlds Fair With

arriving within q week after the

It appears from the 0lacial records
that in the war Of independence, the
Americans mustered in from first to
last. no less than $4,000 men.
The British had to bring their
troops and supplies across the
ocean in sailing vessels, and to do
their campaigning over . sparsely
settled country under very great
difficulties. The Americans could
get supplies from foreign countries,
and they received great assistance
from France, IN their struggle.
Comparing the American colonists
With thst Of the Confederates, the
struggle Of the latter must BY far
sppear most desperate and heroic.
The Coufederates had their ports
blockaded and the difficulties they
encountered in getting arms, am
munition and supplies 70 carry on
the war for four years, may be inn
agined. The Confederates at no
time had more than 250, 900 men in
the field and their total muster
from fret to last did not exceed
6OO, 900. With these forces they
confronted armies drawn by . mus
ter Of not lees than two and . half
millions Of men, lavishly supplied
with al that an army has need Of
