q member of one of the nrst families OF
that State. He therefore cast his lotSwith
the Southern Confederacy, and, though all
of his kinsmen and friends in his native
keystone State sadly lamented his defec-
ton, they could not help but appreciate
and respect his motives.
Mr. A. M. Dahlgren studied law for some
years under Jefferson Davis the President
of the Confederate States, and the intimacy
between the two families was of no ordi-
nary nature. 1t was Mrs. Dorsey, the Sis
ter of Mr. Dahlgren, a lady of great literary
attainments and brilliant mind who pre-
sented Mr.. Davis with the beautiful estate
known as Beauvoir, fronting the Gulf or
Mexico, on which ne passed tne last uays
of his life and where he penned his story
of the great conflict between the states IN
which he had himself been such a prom
inent actor. At Beauvoir Mortimer Dahl
gren passed a good many years, and his
acquaintance with ex-President DAVIS ana
his family was such that a Post reporter
ventured to ask him his opinion of the
recent criticisms that have been passed on
Mrs. Davis and her daughter, Miss Winnie,
in regard for their seeming preference Tor
a residence in New York and New England
rather than for dwelling among their old
time friends in the South.
IT am aware" said Mr.. Dahlgren, that
mucn criticism mas Dee0 ulTecltu at MIS-.
Davis and Miss Davis on this account, and
once in New York I frankly told Mrs. Davis
of the extent of this feeling in the South
Her explanation to me was full, and no
doubt sincere. She said that Beauvoir was
isolated and that often it was not easy
to procure the comforts and conveniences
of life in that comparatively remote place
Even proper domestic help was difficult to
obtain at all times. Then, again. Beauvoir
was a. Mecca for sightseers and curiosity
mongers. many of whom, even when shown
the hospitality of the place, could not for
bear to sheer.
but over and beyond this the chief rea-
son for her continued residence in the
North, Mrs. Davis said, was the advice
of her physician. Her health imperatively
demanded that she should have residence
by the seaside. and as this was imprac-
tfcable anywhere else in the South except
at Beauvoir. she was in a way forced to
stay i'm Northern cities. where all climatic
conditions were favorable
The Davises have not been at Beauvoir
in five or six years. The old place is looked
after by an aged white couple. and con-
tains many beautiful pictures and valuable
books and papers that were the property OF
the one-tiTne idol of the South. The house
itself was built of solid timbers, and will
last for many years.

Quarantine Agninst Kentucky.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Secretary Will
son is informed that the Illinois Board of
Live Stock Commissioners probably will
quarantine all cattle shipped to that State
from Kentucky. There have been num-
Der of outbreaks of Texas fever in Illinois
recently, caused by cattle shipped in vio-
lation of the federal and state regulations
from Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee. 1t is
asserted that infected cattle are now being
driven across the quarantine line, shipped
to Louisville and rebflled to points in llli-
nois. The latter State has already quaran-
tined against Arkansas and Tennessee. The
federal law is not very specific in regard
to this disease 1t provides that the dis
ease shall not be considered contagious or
infectious as to cattle being transported by
rail to market for slaughter, when they are
unloaded only to be led and watered In
lots on the way. The officials of the De-
partment of Agriculture think further leg
islation is necessary to define the powers
OF the department, and they nope tnat the
losses sustained in these and through these
local quarantines will lead TO demand Tor
adequate control by the general govern
ment The authority of the department III
regard to export cattle is clear, ana ample
precautions are being taken TO prevent the
infection of these animals.

This is one of the reasons why the Pyra-

is needed and where it will do the most

to know that the gang of Osgood robbers

Tuesday at the preliminary trial at Versail-
les the whole gang of sympathizers of the
thieves went to Versailles and openly made
their threats that they would have re-
venge on Sheriff Busching and all who had
assisted in the capture and arrest of the
thieves. Two of them abused Pete Hos
tutler, who trapped the gang. and he
promptly Knocked them down. The thieves
could not give bail and all five were again
put in Jail. Various arrests have been made
in past years for robberies but the thieves
We're always able to go into court and

left at home for that purpose. The re-
spectacle people of Osgood were afraid to
testify against the gang and they gave
notice to the people outside that the gang
was planning vengeance for the arrest of
the robbers. The notorious Rittenhouse
said that Osgood would go to Versailles
and "clean out the town" The farmers
feared the prisoners would be rescued by
their Osgood friends and determined to

portunity to raid the Jail. 1t is generally
believed that had the thieves and their
friends not made their threats of revenge

gang of thieves are now known it is thought
they will disband and go elsewhere and
thus leave Osgood respectable town.

The Meade Pension Case.



The Pension Office rejected an application
for pension filed by the widow of the late
Rear Admiral K, W. Meade. a petition tor
a rehearing of the case has been filed by a
brother Of The late admiral, and the case is
assuming an aspect interesting to navy peo-
pie and the general public we'll. 1t has
heretofore been the practice of the Pension
Office to place liberal construction on the
laws when widows of distinguished officers
of the army or the navy applied for a PEN
sion, but in this instance the policy has been
exactly the reverse. 1t is shown that ply
sicians and surgeons We're in frequent at
tendance upon Admiral Meade and had him
under treatment for disabilities received
during the war, but the examiners held that
inasniuch as he was able to maintain his po-
sition ON the active list of the navy up to the
age of retirement his widow was not en-
titled to a pension When the case is re.
oTyened, if it should be, proof will be offered
that the admiral might have retired many
years ago on account of general debility
caused by injuries received during the wal
of the rebellion, if he had so desired, and
that the government will be committing a
mean act if ii should refuse to give his wild
ow modest pension Admiral Meade was
one of the most distinguished officers In
the navy.
