Rfederate executive mansion att Richmond,

at home, owing to the trouble, surround
Ing her father and the publicity which 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 com

and much of the information which was re-

secured for him, by his daughter. Her
strong character was marked from youth.
She was engaged to Mr. Wilkerson, of
Syracuse, N. Y, but shortly after her
fathers death, the engagement was broken
off. While no public explanation of the
rrupture was given, it is we'll known that
1t was for the purpose Of maintaining her
fathers name. She received the name
.'Daughter of the .Confederacy'' in 1886,

to appear, Miss Winnie was brought be-

along the route and introduced as the

that her removal from the .hotelwould
be possible in few days, as the hotel
had closed for the season, leaving the
patient and attendants practically
alone. in the house. Saturday night,
however, relapse in Miss Davis con-
