Gen. Gordon says the claims Of Gen.
A. P. Hills daughter and others to sue
coed Miss Winnie Davis to tho title Of
daughter Of the confederacy' are alb
surd, for the title became extinct with
the death Of Miss Davis. just as the
title Of president of the confederacy
became extinct upon the death of her
father. AS Gen. Gordon invented the
title and conferred it, he ought to know.
Furthermore, he has a daughter Of his

rather to the credit Of Chairman Goet-
