JEFF DAVIS FAMILY DEFENDED
Finances Prevent Mrs. Davis from Re
siding in the South.

The recent attack of the Birming-
ham Age on Mrs. Jefferson Davis and
Miss Winnie Davis. given in these dis
patches, has, as was predicted, stirred
up the southern papers. The Rich
mond Dispatch, which apparently
speaks by authority, comes to the de-
tense of the Davis family as follows:
We are sorry to see The Birming-
ham Age Herald INDUCING in criticism
of Mrs. Davis and Miss Winnie be-
cause of their residence in the north
and infrequent visits to the south.
The occasion for contemporary iron
ical outburst upon this subject was the
announcement that Mrs. Davis and
daughter would soon visit the Nash
Vile eXpOsition-an announcement
that The Age-Herald throws doubt
upon by suggesting that Mrs. and Miss
Davis find it convenient to accept
very few such invitations from the
south. Mrs. and Miss Davis have
never intended to make their homes
in the north. Business affairs carried
| them there in the first place, and
! business interests have kept adding to
their incomes by literary work, and
this work they think they can do
there more advantageously than in
the south.
A further discussion of the matter
would require us to go into details of
the family's finances, which should
be sacred to the members thereof, and
into which the public has no right
TO inquire. Suffice it to say that none
tary reasons, together with considera-
lions as OF Mrs. Davis health, have
thus far kept the mother and daugh-
ter in the north We risk little in de-
claring our belief that if Mrs. Davis
were a woman of sufficient fortune she
would establish her residence in some
southern city and keep her doors ever
open to all who served in the confeder-
ate army and to all others who respect
the memory oil her husband A brave
soul was he, but not drawer or more
self-sacrif1cing or more devoted to the
south than she who is just at this
moment the subject of so much COM
ment because of the Birmingham
publication. Some Of these comments
show malice; many others show ig-
norance of the facts of the case. But
Mrs. Davis must bear them all in
silence or else rush into print to make
an exhibit of her income and expenses
and to discuss her household affairs
generally. That she has been forced
into this position is most lamentable.
and that the article in question should
have been penned by southern
lady and published in southern pa
per excites social wonder and great
grief.
AS to Mrs. Davis infrequent visits
to the south, we have to say that she
is no longer a young woman, nor has
she been very strong of late, and the
fatigue of travel, therefore, taxes her
very heavily
The Dispatch's defense may be |
taken to represent southern sentiment

WORK ON A QUEENS CARPET

The beautiful carpet presented n
queen Victoria by her women admir-
ers in Great Britain in commemora-
tlon OF her diamond jubilee was made
ny Twelve women, who tied 1862, 400
stitches in it. The idea of the gift
originated with Princess Mary Ado
Ialde, duchess Of Teck, who took the
greatest interest in every detail of the
making. The design is symbolical OF
the strength, dominion and unity of
the queens vast empire. The ground
of the carpet is of the richest crimson
on which is found lighter shades of
the same color. In the center is the
garter of royal blue and gold SIR
rounding the monogram "V. r. l.,
and these encfrcled by the crown,
from which flow two ribbons. bearing
the dates 1837-1897. The four corners
represent, respectively, India by the
tiger, Australia by the kangaroo, Can
ada by the beaver and south Africa by
the elephant. Each animal is SUD-
ported by a chaplet of oak. symbol OF
the mutual strength of Great Britain
and her colonies, and each surmounted
by the crown Of imperial supremacy.
connecting these corners and entWined
by broad ribbon of blue are the
rose, shamrock, thistle and lotus on
ground Of ivory color, the whole
framed in with band of oak leaves
in gold on ruby.
The size is Is feet inches by 16
feet inches. The yarn employed was
the best English grown, and the pile
is nearly an inch thick. This magnif-
icent carpet was the combined gift OF
the duke and duchess of Teck, their
family and some sixty counties, repre-
sented by women secretaries of the
British Silk association, promoters of
British industry. The carpet was
placed in the coronation rooms at
palace and is only used
on great state occasions.

PLUMBER il.
Treasure-Hunting in Arizona for
Booty-Buried by Stage Robbers.


BootyBuried by STOCKHOLDERS.
The finding of a revolver marked
blood for blood has revived an old
story of buried treasure at Phoenix,
AriZ., and number of men are dig
sing in the vicinity Of the place where
the weapon was found. In June, 1876
five men held up stage coach on
the Black cayon road, near Arastia
Hill. One passenger was killed and
the booty consisted of a big roll of
new 500 greenbacks and a bar of
gold worth S32, 900 A year or so later
it was reported in Phoenix, and indeed
throughout the exteme Southwest
shat the product of the stage robbery
had been buried at Phoenix. Two of
the robbers made partial confessions
when mortally wounded, but their ex-
plantations were cut off by death. 1t
seems that the robbers had feared to
make use of the greenbacks because
those notes were rare in that part of
the country and would arouse Suspi-
cion. They therefore buried the bills
and cut the gold bar in two with an
axe and buried half together with the
pistol of the murdered passenger,
which was peculiar one, bearing the
words Blood for Blood" The whole
was incloced in an iron coffee pot.
Almost every year since the story of
the treasure became known one or
more searchers have appeaed ct Phoe-
nix, each claiming to have a tip re-
ceived at some bad mans" deathbed
or in some equally sensational way
Some years ago a priest from Magda.
lena Sonora, who had been given the
location by man who died of a
wound received in a fight, spent a long
time in searching for it without sue
cess. 1t is probable that the treasure
if ever buried at all, has been removed
by some searcher who thought it well
to conceal his success.

BOYS LEARN TO COOK.
Novel Departure in the Cincinnati
High School.

One of the features in education
that has been tried in this city is a
cooking class for boys, which was
started at Hughes High school yester-
day. Seven young gentlemen out of
an enrolment OF ten were present and
were initiated by Miss Hull. the
teacher. into the first mysteries of
that science, which their 81. ters have
hitherto claimed as their exclusive
preNogative. Judging from! the en-
thusiasm with which the boys went
at the work and the skill which they
displayed under the careful guidance
Of Miss Hull, the young disciples of
Epicurus will soon be competent to do
the family cooking, and thus dispense
with the oVerbearing Bridgets and
Honorahs who have held sway in the

ENSIGN STONES FIANCEE.
Miss Marie Condo Sails for Europe I'm
der an Assumed Name.

NEW YORK, June 9.-It is announced
that the family of Miss Marie Condo. whose
betrothal to Ensign Stone, U. S. N, has
caused so much public comment because
of the opposition of her father to the union,
have taken the young woman to Europe,
and that Miss Condo sailed yesterday on
the North German Lloyd steamship Havel
under an assumed name. Her family favor
this method of departure because they
hoped she would be able thus to avoid the
publicity which would be inevitable if she
sailed under her own name.
The friends of Ensign Stone are rallying
to his support, and are beginning TO tell
his side of the remarkable romance in real
life" as it has been called. This, however,
is hardly necessary now, as he has been
acquitted by the court-martial that tried
his case. According TO his friends state
ments Mr.. Stone before his betrothal to
Miss Condo was an accepted friend of the
family and a welcome caller at their home
1t was not until he had asked Mr.. Condo
for Miss Marie's hand that he was regarded
with GOODNESS. When he announced his
engagement he was told that he could not
see his fiancee unless in the presence of
some member Of her family. He accepted
this provision and called repeatedly. Sud
