USTAPLAiM WOMAN AT THAT.
Yet Miss Anne Cunningham Save
Mount Vernon to the Nation.

Yet Miss Anne Cunningham Saved
Mount Vernon to the Nation.
The story of hoW Mount Vernon was
saved to the Nation by a woman was
entertainingly told to the Boston
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton by Miss Alice Longfellow recently.
Miss LongfelloW's story was about
Miss Anne Cunningham, q gentlewom-
an Of old Virginia, who, when passing
up the Potomac river one day in 1858
and hearing the steamer bell toll when
passing the grave of Washington, be-
came possessed with the desire to re-
store it. The place was then occupied
by a great-grand-nephew of the first
president, John Augustine Washing
ton. 1t was in a state Of decay, and
the generous hospitality of the owner,
who treated every passing stranger as
a guest, made the expenditure of money
for repairs utterly impossible. When
Miss Cunningham ventured to tell him
of her plans he was filed with horror
that women should do that which
should so emphasize the degeneracy
of men. But the determined woman
sent out urgent appeals. Her first call
was to the women of the south. and
on July u, 1854, the first meeting
was held. Edward Everett was one of
the first to offer his services, and as
a result of his lectures S6S000 was con-
tributed to the fund. Northern people
withdrew when they learned the prop
erty was to be turned over to Virginia,
but on March II, 1856, the Ladies'
Mount Vernon Association was formed.
A certain congressman had vowed
he would defeat the association, but at
critical time Mr.. Washington showed
his loyalty, and just at the time when
Miss Cunningham was ready to die
from over-anXiety and discouragement
definite conclusion was reached. Al
ter that she lay in stupor for three
weeks. In addition to the actual price
OF the plantation, 100000 had to be
raised for repairs, and when matters
were progressing finely the Civil war
broke out and confusion was the re-
suit. Mount Vernon was neutral
ground throughout the bitter struggle.
When the strife was ended Miss Cum
ningham went there to live, received
the aid OF Sumner in getting an in
demnity from the government, and
went on with the noble work she had
undertaken.

In providing the dynamite bomb as
a cure for the ills of the world the an
archist has always exhibited marked
dislike for his own medicine. Last
Christmas eve a man who lived above
an anarchists club. in the neighbor
hood of Tottenham Court Road. was
returning home with a plum pudding
in basin. While searching for his
latch key he laid the pudding down
or the door step of the house and for
got to take it into the house with him.
An anarchist saw it there and gave
the alarm. The genral exodus was
hasty. In less than thirty seconds
every member of the club was out in
the street putting distance between
himself and the deadly instrument.
Then the owner came down stairs and
removed it. Plum puddings are known
to be subversive compounds, but their
possible uses by the London police
had not been considered before.
