SORROW OF THE VETERANS

REYNOLDS, GA, Sept. 1O.-Gen.
John b. Gordon, commander-in-cmei
of the United Confederate Veterans,
today issued the following order;
ITO the United Confederate Voter
ans: The commanding general, with
q sorrow which no words can ex-
press. announces the death of Miss
Winnie Davis, the idolized 'Dauhgter
of the Confederacy.' The boundless
enthusiasm which was evoked by her
every appearance at our reunions in
Dictated the depth Of affection and the
unftigned admiration which all Con-
federates felt for her.
at is not too much to say that the
ovations with which she was every
where greeted by the ex-soldiers of
the Southern armies were such as
have rarely been accorded any wo-
man. Their grief at her untimely
death will be as profound and poig-
nant as their love for her while liv.
ing was universal and sincere and
their most affectionate sympathles
are with the griefstricken mother.
"The commanding general directs
that the department and division
commanders select delegations and
escorts of honor, as they may deem
proper, to represent the United Con-
federate Veterans, and to accompany
the remains to their final resting
place.
by order of J. B. GoRDoN,
General Commanding.

Tribute BY George Cary EgglestOn.

New York, Sept. l9-In a letter
to the New York World, George
Carry Eggleston, the anthor, says:
">>Yinnie' Davis is dead. May l
claim the privilege of laying a wreath
of perhaps superhuous words upon
her bier?
81 knew her personally. l honored
her and admired her, and most Loyalty
loved her, as everybody did who had
the privilege of knowing her.
"She was an ideal American wo-
man-largely learned, greatly &C
complished and wonderfully gifted.
But it was not all this that made the
children gather about her knees their
mothers take her to their bosoms and
their fathers bow in reverence before
her exalted womanhood. 1t was
something greater than learning and
immeasurably better than any culture.
"By all Southerners she was idol
lied as THE Daughter of the Con
federacy.' BY all generous minds OF
whatever section she was loved and
bonored as perfect type of that
nobIest work of God-tbe American
woman"

THE BADGE OF CRUELTY.

Isit not possible to persuade the wo
men of Boston-the city we are prouC
to consider a centre of refinement
treason and intelligence-to take 4
decided stand in the matter Of the
slaughter of birds. and protect them
by refusing to wear them? We are
fostering a grievouS wrong ont Of
pure thoughtlessness. A bit of rib
bon, or bunch offlowers, or any Of
the endless variety ofmaterials used
! by the milliner, would answer every
purpose of decoration, without in
volving the sacrifice of bright and
beautiful lives. But women do not
know what they are doing when they
buy and wear birds and feathers, or
they never would do it. How should
people brought up in cities know any
thing of the sacred lives Of birds?
What woman, whose head is bristling
with their feathers, knows for instance
the hymn Of the song sparrows, the
sweet iargon of the blackbirds, the
fairy futing of the oriole, the lonely,
lovely wooing call of the sandpiper,
the cheerful challenge of the chickade,
the wild, clear whistle Of the curlew,
the twittering of the swallows as they
90 careening in wide curves through
summer air, filling earth and heaven
with tones ofpure gladness, each bird
marvel of grace, beauty and joy!

lures for delight andsolace, and we

whom are like dear friends to me

ofmost birds is lesson to men and
women. But how few people have
had the privilege of watching that
sweet life, of knowing how precious
and sacred it is, how the little beings
guard their nests with almost human
wisdom, and cherish their young with
faithful, careful, self-sacificing love. II
women only knew these things, there
not one in the length and breadth

OBITUARY..

Mr.. John H. Dellinger, was born
Oct. II, 1925, and departed this life
mt his home near Jerome, Va, Sept
eniber II, 1898, aged ~ years, II
months and 81 days. Mr.. d. was
born in this county, baptized in his
infancy and in 1866 confirmed in the
Evan. Lutheran Church by the Rev.
Socrates lIenkcl. lie was a wool
carder by trade, having served under
Edward Crawford in the old wooden
factory near Mt. Jackson, Va.
On Oct. 3, 1850 he married Sarah
Ann Oyerholtz and shortly after
wards moved to Rockingham Co.
where he labored at his trade near
Plains Mill, for 10 years, cardmg, full
ing and dying cloth, for the general
public, and especially for the benefit OF
the Brave Heroes Of the South, the
Confederate Soldiers during the late
hot contest for honor, truth and jus
tice. But in Oct, 1872, he again
moved to Shenandoah Co., locating
near Jerome, Va, where he has since
resided and has always taken deep
and active interest in church work,
having solicited sufficient funds (belug
the largest contributor mmsclf) to
purchase a library and organized
the first Sunday School at ST. Pauls
church which was ever held in this
community.
He was the father Of ten children,
seven sons and three daughters, all
being present at the funeral with the
exception of one son who resides III
I'm. In his death the church has lost
an efficient Iaborer. As a friend, he
was changeless; as citizen, correct;
as parent, aiiectionate; as christian,
exemplary, which was verified by the
large crowd gathered at the church
to pay last respects to his memory
Rev. p. c. Wike, his pastor, othc'
atcd.
Death has robbed us of our father,
Whom we loved and cherished dear
1t was father, yes dear father,
Can we help but she'd teal!
Yes we miss him. oh we miss HIM,
When We see his vacant chair,
And how sad the room without him.
For there i no father there.
Fathers work on earth is ended,
Faithfully the cross he bore;
Now his loving souls assembled,
oyer to fair Canaan's shore.
lie had children ten in number,
That are left tomOurn for him;
And in our aching hearts we know,
We have no father now.

FATHER IN Ho LLYwooD.
Ri, hmond, Va, Sep. l9.-The
news Of the death of Miss Winnie
Davis, the slaughter of the Conted-
erscy," has been received here with
most profound sorrow.
Richmond, the city Of her birth
and the capital of the Confederate
States, has naturally always consider
ed that Miss Winnie belonged, if pos
sible, more to her than to any other
section of the South.
Today the Confederate flag is float
inc at hali.mast over Lee Camp HALL
A meeting of the Confederate Mem
orial Literary Society has been called
for tomorrow, when suitable action
regarding the death ofMlss Davis will
be taken. Many kilograms from the
Confederate organizations here and
also from many of those prominent III
Confederate circles were sent today
to Mrs. Davis, expressing sympathy
with her in her affection.
1t was arranged in part today that
the funeral will take place here on FRI
day at an hour yet to be determined
Mrs. Davis has asked Gen. Archer
Anderson and the vestry OF st. PauPs
Church, where the services will be
held, to take charge. The Jefferson
Davis Monument Association will
participate in the ceremonies and the
Confederate soldiers of Richmond
have been formally invited to take
part
So far as selected the honorary pail
bearers are. B. II. Harrison, Clarence
Gray, A. A. Maginnis, Gen. Archie
Anderson, William o. Shelton and J
Tayler Ellison.
The funeral party will leave MAJ
rsgansett Pier Thursday morning in
special car attached to the colonial
express, arriving at Richmond early
Friday morning.
1t is practically settled that Mis-
Davis remains will he buried in TIN
beautiful burial plot in Hollywood
Cemetery, over looking the Jane
river, where the remains other father
ex-President Davis, lie. This was sc
lected by Mrs Davis and her daugh
ter themselves and was the gift o
Richmond.
On Wednesday afternoon the re
mans of Miss Winnie will be remoy
el to the parlors of the Rockingham
Hotel, where they may be viewed b

REPORTED HAZING AT V. NJ. |.


Information was received in Rich
mond yesterday to the effect that
hazing is being practiced at the Vir-
ginia Military Institute this session
in a verse form than in years, pro
baby than ever before. The fa,her
of a new student was summoned there
By letter from his son, stating that
he had suffered terribly at the hands
of the hazers. The young man is
said to have borne on his body the
marks ola fogging given him, in
which bayOnet scabbard was the
instrument used, and he claims he
was made to eat soap and drink the
contents Of the slop basin in the room.
The father learned the name of one
of the hazers, and made demand that
the affair be investigated. Gen.
Ship, the superintendent, promised
him that court of inquiry should
probe the matter. The number Of
cadets at the institute this year is
far greater than ever before in its
history.
