WINNIE DAVIS DEAD.
Passed Away at y Narragansett Pie
Hotel.

Passed Away at . Narragansett Pier
Hotel.
Narragansett Pier, r. l., Sept. &c.
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter OF Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, died at noon today at
hotel here. to which place she came
as guest in the early part OF the
piers social season. She had been i'll
for several weesk.
Mrs Davis had watched unremit-
tingly at her daughters bedside, and
she is now bowed with sorrow. The
physicians of Mrs. Davis reports she is
holding up with great calmness in her
affection, and no fears are at present
entertained Of her health yielding to the
strain.
Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter
of the Confederacy, was born in the
Confederate executive mansion, at
Richmond, Va, in 1868. She was ed
ucated principally at home, owing to
the troubles surrounding her father and
the publicity which attended all move
ments OF the Davis family. Miss Davis
attained her maturity at Beauvoir,
Miss. Here she assisted her mother
In various ways and took her place in
the many social functions OF the place.
She was her fathers constant compan-
ion. She assisted him in all his work,
and much of the information which
was required by Mr.. Davis in his writ:
ings was secured for him by his daugh-
ter. Her strong character was marked
from youth. She was engaged to Mr..
Wilkeson, Of Syracuse. N. Y, but
shortly after her fathers death the en-.
gagement was broken off. While nc
public explanation of rupture was
given, it is we'll known that it was fol-
the purpose of maintaining her father e
name. She received the name
Daughter of the Confederacy" in
1885. when her father made his famous
trip through the South. Mr.. Davis
being unable to appear, Miss Winnie
was brought before the thousands at
the different points along the route,
and introduced as the Daughter OF
the Confederacy.

TO SECURE DISCHARGES.

Applications Must Reach War Depart
ment Through Proper Channels.
Washington, Sept. 2l.-The follow
ing statement is given out at the war
department:
1.-THE war department is just at
present undergoing an experience
which illustrates the alacrity with
which the average American citizen
hastens to his senator or representative
in congress for aid in emergencies
1.-THE cessation of hostilities and the
improbability of their renewal, with
the dullness of camp life, has appar-
emily created feeling Of restlessness
among the men of the volunteers army,
who, in the majority of cases, have
given up positions of larger compensa-
ton, and many of whom are imploring
their political representatives to obtain
their discharges. and the latter, in
turn, are flooding the war department
with requests for prompt and immedi.
ate action. To such an abuse Of priv:
lege has this grown that the war depart
ment has been obliged to call atten;
tion to that paragraph of the army reg
ulations which requires that all COM
munictions from subordintes to super
iors must pass through military chan
nels, ard decline as a rule to entertain
applications for discharges of enlisted
men unless they come to it in the prop
er manner.
ga soldier who is DESTROYS OF secur'
ing his discharge, and has good and
sufficient reasons upon which to base
it. will save himself a great amount
of time and trouble If he will set forth
the reasons for his discharge in letter
addressed to the acknowledgement OF the
army and hand it to the captain OF has
ompany, who, in turn, is required ia
pass it along through brigade, division
and corps headquarters, with their re-
commentator. Unless this is done, the
department will send the paper back ia
the company commander for his recon.
mendation, and that takes time, which
may be saved by following the proper
rule.
"The department has also promul'
gated another ruling in this connec-
ton, which is to the effect that pub.
lie policy will not permit at this time
the consideration of applications for
discharges of men serving in the Phil.
ippines, Honolulu. Cuba and Porto
Rico. The reasons for this are obvi.
GUS. Aside from the question of trans
portation involved, and the necessity
of supplying the places of men who
are to be discharged with others from
the States, it is to be remembered that
the war is not over, and that much de.
ponds upon the results and delibera.
tions of the peace commissioners, who
have sailed for Paris"

Conductivity Of Lightning Rods.

Some interesting experiments bearing
on the conductivity OF lightning con-
ductors have been made by Professor
Koch, as reported In Industries and
Iron. He formed chain several yards
long with links of iron oxide, and
placed it in circuit with the accumu-
lator cells and a galvanometer, the
chain being In room $50 yards from
the galvanometer. When spark was
discharged In the vicinity Of the chain,
the deviation of the galvanometer
showed that the resistance Of the circuit
was reduced to one-thousandth Of its
normal value, and In q second expert
ment the resistance fell to one ten
thousandth OF the normal. From these
experiments Professor Koch finds an
explanation why lightning conductors
with poor conduotivity are nevertheless
effective in thunderstorms. The oscil-
ations produced provoke an enormous
reduction of resistance at the proper in
slant to facilitate the flow Of the cur
rent through the conductor.

Consider Well Before Acting.

Because an acquaintance of yours
has set of plate teeth that are giving
good satisfaction is not always guar
antee that you can meet with the same
results when your teeth are all extract
ed, for there are great per cent of
mouths that will not tolerate plate Of
any kind, and the only way you can de-
termine this fact Is by trial." says
DR.. Thomas H. White, at the north
east corner OF Morrison and Fourth
streets. when your natural teeth
have been all taken out the plate is the
only recourse, and il you are unfortu-
nate enough to have mouth that will
not retain q plate. misery the rest of
your life will be the ultimate result.
Therefore it is Of vital importance to
keep your natural teeth AS long as pos
sible. It is not always necessary to
have your teeth extracted because they
are decayed even to the gum margin.
or because they pain you and you can
not use them In such condition. for %
per cent of such teeth can be restored
to good, healthy and serviceable con-
dition. The progress Of dental science
has made it easy for an up-to-date dem
fist to reproduce the lost parts Of those
organs. making them thoroughly reli-
able in every sense.
when there are but few teeth or
old roots remaining in the mouth do
not have them extracted because some
dentist that is not in possession of the
late methods of crown and bridge work
advises extraction and plate. Try to
find some one wearing bridge work. and
reason for yourself. You will not re-
gret your investigation, and will, ! feel
sure, always remember this suggestion. :"

"American Inhumanitv,"

Madrid, Sept. 2l.-There is much
indignation here at the fact that there
were 1913 deaths during the voyage
among the 1000 Spanish soldiers who
have just arrived in Spain on board the
Spanish transport San lgnacio Ralelero,
from Santiago de Cuba. The Spanish
attribute this heavy rate to the "inhu-
manity of the Americans in obliging
the sick Spaniards to EN- bark and make
room in the hospitals for Americans. -

Captain Allyn Capron Dead.


Washington, Sept. 20.-Captain AL
Ign Capron, First artillery, died at the
his home near Fort Myer, Va, today.
When General Skaters corps went
to Santiago Capron accompanied it,
and his battery did notably fine work
in the battle Of Santiago. During the
first days fighting before the city, Cap.
tain Capron's son. Captain Allyn K.
Capron, of the rough riders, was killed.
The death Of the son preyed upon the
fathers mind, but he never swelved for
an instant from his duty during the
terrible days that followed. The seeds
of disease were sown in his system dur
ing the Cuban campaign, and he re-
turned to his home at Fort MyeI, near
this city, only to be stricken with ty-
phold fever.

The Archbishop's views.

Manila, Sept. 20.-In an interview
with press representative, Bishop
Dosal, of the Philippine islands, said:
II earnestly hope the islands will
not remain Spanish, because the rebels
are now so strong that such a course
would inevitably cause appalling
bloodshed. The reconquest Of the ma.
tives is impossible until after years Of
the most cruel warfare.''

There has been of late, the world
over, little shading Of the early
claims as to wheat supplies. The
latest is the reduction by the Washing
ton authorities in their estimate Of the
1898 crop-585. 000,0 900 bushels. in
stead of the COZ, 600. 900 bushels in Au-
gust. This years is no longer "the
biggest crop on record" high-sound-
ing phrase which so often plays such
havoc with prices and stands SO we'll in
lieu Of all arguments. There was a
bigger crop in 1891. The official drop
ping of the figures under the even 6O0.-
900, 900 bushels figure will count for
something. A round total like that is
more appalling for some reason, in a
discussion than the more precise one,
which may be only little under it.
Perhaps the government figures are not
high enough, and likely as not the acre.
age has been underestimated. but that
makes no particular difference. If that
is true this year, it has also been true
in other seasons and need not upset the
satisfaction over the fact that this
years American wheat crop is not "a
record breaker" Private statisticiana
have been reducing their early wheat
estimates, which is also confrmatory
Of the claim that there has been a
shading of crop figures" all around.
It has not been going on alone on this
continent. Europe is now disputing as
to whether Russia has good or bad
yield, having dropped the early claim
as to vast one. France alone has
about fulfilled its early promises. In
reference to supplies from every source,
the trade is now talking conservatively
rather than in the extravagant terms
of June and July. Argentine ship
ments have stopped absolutely. after
contributing a total Of less than as
600, 900 bushels. Russia is shipping a
third as much each week as year ago.
and, according to Liverpool is cancel
ing early September contracts. These
look like bull statements and will nat
urally suggest all those other signifi-
can't facts which are of the other sort
and which ought to be presented If any
fair argument were to be attempted.
