DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY.
An Interesting Meeting Yesterday
Winnie Davis Monument Assured.

There was a meeting of the Daughters
Of the Confederacy yesterday afternoon
at 1880 o'clock at Lee Camp Hall. The
attendance was unusually large. A letter
was read from two large Philadelphia
firms, who said hat several girls (daugh-
tiers Of the Confederacy) had been en-
ployed by them on the recommendation
Of Mrs. Holsey, president of the Philadel-
phia Chapter. The request was made
that all belonging TO the Daughters who
buy from these firms sign their names as
Daughters of the Confederacy, Richmond
Chapter.
The treasurer's report, which was most
gratifying. was read. and the sum Of SO
was voted to the Van Buren, Chapter,
Daughters of the COnfederacy, of Ar
kansas. for the monument over the Con-
federate dead at that place.
The report of the Winnie Davis monu-
ment fund was read by the treasurer,
Miss Matte Harris, who made the graft
flying statement hat the fund has reach
ed $l,Ol5.25. Mrs. Alfred Gray, chairman
Of the Monument Committee, stated that
the committee had selected a design
which met with the approval Of Mrs.
Davis. who showed her satisfaction by
writing to Mrs. Gray as follows:
"When / found II possible for this
statue to be erected over Winnie's grave
! had a feeling nearer akin TO happiness
! than l had ever known since her death.
This design is made by Zolney, and is
tho figure Of a sitting angel in Italian
marble. 1t is very beautiful. This would
have cost about 5000, but Mr.. Zolney's
friendship for the Davis family made
him put it within the reach Of the fund
at the very low figure Of $3.50. The Ken
n.-.. Ill nanfVfIrrfa a INN and
the difference will be made up by the New
York Chapter and friends of Mrs. Davis.
The committee hopes to have this monu-
ment ready To be unveiled at the meet
ing of the United Daughters OF the Con-

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known TO be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing 10 the
taste and acceptable to the system. II
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get It's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
rememberthe full name of the Company
