REQUEST EMBARRASSING.
Some Trouble About dwelling of Two
Davis Monuments.

Atlanta, Ca, November "a special to
the Constitution from Richmond, Va, says:
"The request of Mrs. Jefferson Davis that
the monument erected by her and her
daughter, Mrs. Hayes, to President Jeffer-
son Davis and jefferson Davis, Jr., be un-
yelled on Thursday next at the same time
that the Winnie Davis monument is UNI
yelled has caused a good deal Of embarrass-
ment to those in charge of the arrangement
for the latter event. It now appears likely
that the final details will not be arranged
until the arrival of Mrs. Davis on Tues
day next. The Winnie Davis monument
was erected by the United Daughters of
the Copfederaoy. While wishing to silow
proper honor to Mrs. Davis. THE Daughters
feel that the memorial to Miss Winnie. got
/. up by, public subscriptions, should not be
oxershadowed by the unveiling. of a private
memorial to her father. They hope it will
meet with Mrs. Davis approval to simply
have the monuments to her husband and
sen placed at the time of, the Winnie Davis
unveiling, and have suitable illusions made
to them by the orator.
Mrs. Davis has expressed the wish that
her Husbands monument shall be unveiled
by General Reagan, of Texas, the only one
OF the confederate cabinet now living. Gem
eral Reagan has been communicated with
but not heard from.

from the North of Ireland having its head
quarters at Armagh. has been mainly en-
ployed in garrison duty in Egypt during the
last few years, but sent up strong detaeGn-

1872. and draws from the shire a never
failing supply of recruits, Bristol being its
headquarters The old Twenty-eighth was

ply retrieved its laurels at Talavera and
Barrosa where 1t fought side by side with
the Irish Fusiliers, and at Waterloo The

seribed on its list of services.
In the Sikh war of 1910 the Gloucester
men. at the battle of Chillianwalla, under
Sir Colin Campbell's leadership, performed
brilliant exploits on a day of stern viccis-
STUDIES.

Otis Skinner

Few, If any, actors now before the public
have such a charming personality and are
as magnetic as Otis Skinner, who will play
in 1.-The Liars" by Henry Arthur Jones, at
OBrien's opera house Monday evening,
November 6, for one performance only.
1t is only by hard wor4l and constant ap-
plcation that Otis Skinner has arrived at
the enviable position he now holds in his
profession. He is most conscientious in all
his work and gives SO strict attention to
detail that his performances are truly
mosaics of dramatic art. The sale of seats
is already very large.
