as we'll as for the literature OF the TWO
countries. After taking finishing course
in Paris, Miss Davis returned TO her Ia
theirs residence at Beauvoir, Miss, where
she became his amanuensls ana
chosen companion. Soon after her re-
turn to her native country Miss DAVIS
made her debut in society as queen OF
the Mardi Gras carnival, in New orleans,
and from that time forth up to the time
of her decease was prominent IN South
ern society.
1t was while she was on second visit
To Paris that Miss Davis received the sad
tidings of her fathers death, which oc-
Cured December G. 1891, and the news so
shocked her that her life for time was
despaired of On her recovery she re-
turned to this country and settled with
her mother in New York, where she en-
tered upon a literary career. For the past
ten or fifteen years mother and daughter
have passed their time between New York
and the South.
Miss Davis was prolific writer, ana
was the contributor of many articles or
considerable merit to various periodicals.
She has also written several novels,
among which may be mentioned The
Yelled Doctor THE Knight of the Nine
teenth Century and ION Summer Seas, "
which had very large circulation. At
the time of her death she was engaged
on another novel which she intended TO
be her opus magnum.
The last appearance. of the Daughter
of the Confederacy'' in public was July
o. when she attended the parade of for
mer Confederates at Atlanta, Ga, on the
occasion of their annual reunion. Her
tall and stately figure and impressive
personality will be sadly missed by these
anthus;astjc admirers of herself and her
father, their former revered chief.
While no definite arrangements have
been yet made for her funeral, 1t is un-
derstood that her remains will be depos-
tied beside her father. The bereaved
mother is overwhelmed by kilograms Of
coincidence and sympathy from all parts
of this country and from friends abroad.

Passes Away ut Narragansett

Almost coincident and close upon the
happy terminal of the Hispano-American
contest comes the sad news of the death
of Miss Winnie Davis, or, to give her full
name Varina Anne Jefferson Davis, the
Daughter of the Confederacy," as she
was aptly and happily nicknamed by
Gen. Gordon on the occasion when Presi-
dent Davis made his last triumphal tour
through the Southern States, in 1866
Since then Miss Davis has been the
ideal of the Confederate veterans, who
have always greeted her with enthusi-
asm whenever, as often was the case she
attended their reunions.
Miss Davis died at the Rockingham Ho
tel, Narrangansett Pier, R. l., at noon on
Sunday of malarial gastritis She had
been i'll for several weeks but fatal re-
suit OF her ailment was not feared until
relapse occurred on SATURDAY. night
Her mother, who had been with her from
the beginning of her illness, was with her
at the last.
Miss Davis was born in Richmond, Va.
in June. 1864. Her mother, Annie Haskell.
was the second wife of Jefferson Davis.
Miss Davis passed the first year
of her life at Fort Monroe, sharing
the Imprisonment of her father. Soon af
ter his release, Mr.. Davis took his family
to Liverpool, England. where the young
girl received the rudiments of her educa-
ton. At five years Of age she was taken
back to the South and the family settled
for time in Memphis, Tenn. The cli-
mate of the South, however, did not
agree with the delicate child, and she
was sent to a boarding school at Carls-
ruhe, Germany, where she acquired a
good knowledge of German and French,
