A CONFEDERATE MUSEUM
Old Jefferson Davis Mansion Used
for the Purpose.
Purchased by the Ladies' of the Confst-
crate Memorial and Literary Society
A Room Allotted to Each State
of the Confederacy.

The old Jefferson Davis mansion at
Richmond, Va, formerly known as
'The White House of the Confedera-
tion." has been converted into mu-
scum of confederate relics. At noon
on the sixth anniversary of Davis death,
the ladies of the Confederate Memorial
and Literary society took possession of
it and held their first meeting there.
There were no public exercises. The
ladies simply inspected the premises
and approved Of suggestion to have
the formal opening with big recep-
ton early in January. To this recep-
ton will be invited Mrs. Davis, Miss
Winnie Davis and distinguished x-con-
federates.
A large sum of money has been ex-
pended in improving the structure, and
1t has been made fireproof. The plan of
the house has not been changed in any
respect. 1t is just as it was in the days
of the war and later, when used as the
headquarters for military district No.
1. A room will be allotted to each state
that belonged to the confederacy, and
they will be expected to contribute to
it. It was also expected that the mu-
scum to which Charles Broadway. Rouss
has contributed 100000 will be COM
bined, though that matter will be set
tied by the committee of the Grand
Camp of Confederate Veterans appoint
ed at Houston last spring. The society
has collected an immense store Of con-
federate relics for the museum. Mrs.
Joseph Bryan is president. "The White
House" is one of the Oldest and hand
soonest residences in the city. 1t was
built by Judge peterborough. The
mantels, which were imported from
Europe, are of Carrara marble carved
in Carytides, supporting shells filled
with flowers. It is three-story house
with basement. A square porch with
tall pillars fronts on Clay street, and in
the rear, which opens into large gar
denim which are many handsome old
trees, among them an English walnut
is a portico which runs the length of the
house. The Portico is unusually wide,
and is supported by large round col
umns reaching to the top of the second
story. 1t was from the top of this
porch that little Joe Davis, the presi-
dents eldest son, fell and was killed
in the first year of the war. The win
dows of the two parlors and the large
dining-room open upon this portico.
The rear windows of the dining-room
open upon another porch, the steps
from which lead into the kitchen yard.
This house was bought by the city
from Lewis d. Crenshaw for $4,000,
and was offered to Mr.. Davis as gift.
Mr.. Davis declined to accept it as gift,
but consented to make it his residence
during his lifetime. After it was given
up by the military commander the city
used it as schoolhouse until it was do.
mated for the museum. It contains
large collection of relics.

United States Battleships.
A Washington special to the New
York Sun says: Instructions have been
issued to the commandants of the New
York and Norfolk navy yards to pre-
pare the vessels of the North Atlantic
fleet at once for sea and to have them
ready to sail on the 18th inst. Admiral
bunce has been ordered to start with
six vessels Of the squadron for the
West Indies on that date, and put the
ships through an extended series of
evolutions and maneuvers, according
to the plan prepared by Admiral Meade
last winter, but which failed of exc
cution on account Of the constant with
drawals for service abroad and in home
waters. 1t was the departments ac-
ton that angered the admiral and led
to his interview which finally resulted
in his retirement from active service.
Admiral Bunce is now about to begin
the most extended and elaborate pro-
gramlne Of feet evolution ever attempt
cd by the new navy, and has been as
sured that none of the vessels of his
fleet will be withdrawn or his plans in
terfered with, except in case of urgent
necessity for additional ships in the
Mediterranean. Secretary Herbert
said the other evening that the admiral
would receive orders to cruise from one
end of the West Indies to the other and
to keep his ships almost constantly at

CHILDREN OF SATAN.

Refusal of Scotch Photographer to
'Take" Opera SingerA
An English operate company whose
members recently returned to London
after tour in Scotland had curious
experience in one of the inland towns
where performance was given. 1t
was one of those places where, among
certain classes, the animus against the
aters is almost as great as the consump-
ton of whisky. AS 1t was the last halt
III the tour the members of the troupe
agreed to have themselves photo
graphed and accordingly went to the
local photographer and explained their
intention. "verra weel," replied the
Scotchman. II sail be vera gled to
talk yer portrets, for We seem douce
and respectable set O. leddies and gen
tlemen." "And as we are artists" sug-
gested the principal tenor, land there
are lots of us, perhaps you would see
no objection to making some reduction
from your usual prices?" "Ertists, are
ye?" said the photographer. Il dinna
ken what that may be, but what dae We
due, may speer" "Oh," answered the
tenor, who fortunately understood the
Scotch language, I'VE are singers" "ln

ulator. "Oh, no." replied the other, I'VE
are the opera company who are per-
forming at the theater."
The scotchman took a step back
ward, raised his arms into the air and
cried: "Awa' wi'ye; ava WI We! Ye
are the deevil's BARNS, We are,and wad
ma photograph ye for naething-1 mean
for onything ye would offer memo,
not for a. the money We taxi in week
for playin' Satan's antics on the brods.
Ertists We ca yersels! Ye are children
of the deevil, We are!" And he ordered
them out and shut the door against
them. This is the reason why no au-

will be handed down to posterity, for
next day the tour ended and the menu

DARE TO STAND ALONE.

The pulse OF the world is becoming so weak
Well never have anything new
While every Ole waits for his neighbor to
speak,
Or to see what his neighbor will do.
And paths that we tread are so beaten and
Erooved,
That little for progress is done;
The mind Of the millions too often has
proved
The biased opinion of one.
Then down with the rule that retards and
enslaves,
And the wrong that is reckoned right;
For fashions and customs have often been
Where the soul has been buried from
Where lives full of promise to chaos are
hurled,
And talents are laid on the shelf;
But the man who is fitted to think for the
world
Is the man who can think for himself.
Then dare to be honestly Just what you are.
And dare to be voted a crank;
For anything, surely, is better by far
Thnn being an impotent blank.
And join in some noble unpopular cause,
And let your opinion be known;
For some, who are seeking the world Is vain
applause,
Will gain 1t by losing their own.

Running water purifies itself every
ten miles, even if it be foul with all
the denominations a great city like
Chicago pours into its sewers. Mo-
ton is everywhere essential to life
and health. Natures command to
every organism in her whole realm is
to ''move on" When she is disobey-
ed the punishment she iufiicts is
death. Politicians haven't yet learn
en- this lesson but they will be forced

You were present at the most sol

at him. Her lips, quivering us with
some hidden emotion, strove to smile.

curious TO know, it is yes shall ac-
cept him."
Perhaps it was only fancy or the
Pickering of the gas lights, but it
seemed as though sudden spasm
crossed his face, born of disappoint-
ment or of pain.
"You care for him, Of course 2"
An uncomfortable impulse moved the
woman to dash aside the barrier of con-
vcntionality and give expression TO
what she felt. She raised her eyes to
his. They met, and the anguish in
them touched him to the heart. She
shook her head merely, then turned
her face away.
'Then tell me why you are going to
marry him."
Because he is rich, and my fathers
property is heavily mortgaged. / may
us well tell you the reason; everybody
will know"
"You intend to sacrifice yourself for
your family's sake?"
Sacrifice! What an ugly way of put
ting it! am going to make mar
riage of convenience Other women
IRE doing the same thing every day."
There was silence, save for the SUBJ
dued sound of distant music.
They were alone.
In the dim light of the conservatory
the man was blind to all but the white-
clad form against the mass of foliage.
The heavy perfume of the exotics
seemed to rise and stihc him; the wom-
ans beauty intoxicated his senses; the
consciousness OF her presence thrilled
his very soul.
