Col. John T. McGraw, the bride, figure OF
pale loveliness in the snowiest of mouseline-

Mr.. Rouss's Munutcent Offer.

Special dispatch 10 Baltimore Sun.
New YORK, Nov IA few days ago
committee from Charlottesville, Va. called
on Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss and asked
him to make a contribution to the fund which
is being raised to rebuild the University OF
Virginia. The gentlemen reminded Mr.
Rouss that he was a Virginian and ought to
help them. Mr. Rouss replied that he was
only Virginian by adoption, that he loved
the whole South and was always willing to
do ANYTHING he could to help the Southern
people. He declared that he had more than
tender spot in his heart TO- the State OF
Virginia and that he would like to see her
historical old university rebuilt. He could
give nothing but money to the gentlemen
Hi, private interests were such that they de
manded his entire time and attention.
While he was willing to aid them with his
money, he would like to see them help
themselves.
Mr. Rouss promised that if the people OF
Charlottesville would raise $4,000 for a
separate building to be used as library he
would give them a certified check for like
amount
81 offered the Confederate Veterans $780,
600 toward a Confederate memorial under
similar Conditions" said Mr.. Rouss to day
TO the Suns correspondent. Il am sure
they will raise that sum aud some hundreds
of thousands more. have the same conf
deuce in the people who are working to re
store one of the greatest educational insti'
buttons in this country"
The Sun says editorislly in reference tC
Mr.. Rouss's offer "Mr Charles Broadway

has made many munifcent gifts but none
more credtabe to his head and heart than
the one lust announced of S2j, 900 toward the
erection of a library building at the Uniyer
sity of Virginia provided similar amount
is secured by the people Of Charlottesville
Mr.. Rouss says he believes in helping those
who show a disposition to help themselves
aud he has confidence that the required sun
for a handsome library building will be Sc
cured by the plan he proposes. Mr. Rous'
went to New York after the war almost pen
