the war for Mrs. Robertson's father by
a then well-known cabinet maker, who +
doubtless stin remembered by many Of
the older citizens. 1t was on this table
that Mr.. Davis attached his last official
signature as President Of the Con-
federacy, being the appointment Of Capt.
NJ. II. Clark as acting Secretary of the
Treasury. and placing him in charge Of
the specie of the Confederate government
then in Washington. Capt. Clark was
for many years after the war prominent
resident of Gainesville. Tenn.
In order that there might be no doubt
of the correctness of her remembrance
and impressions, Mrs. Robertson wrote 20
the principal actors in the scenes de-
scribed and obtained their confirmation
Of her account She now has letters I'm her
possession from President Davis, Col
william Preston Johnston. Burton ". Har-
rison, Capt. Clark and others confirming
her statement Of these events
Knowing the value which would be at
tached 10 these relics in years to come,
Mrs. Robertson managed to preserve many
souvenirs connected with this last meet
ing of the Confederate government. The
inkstand used by President Davis at the
meeting and brought with him from the
capitol at Richmond was presented TO her
by Mr.. Davis. 1t Is now in the Confeder-
ate Museum at Richmond. Many hours
were spent by President Davis and his Of
hcers on the night before their departure
from Washington in destroying state pa
pers and official correspondence, which
might otherwise have fallen into the hands
of the enemy TO the injury Of prominent
friends and supporters Of the Confederate
government Mrs. Robertson begged her
husband and the officers with whom some
of the papers were left to let her have
these papers, knowing their value 10 fu-
ture generations. She succeeded In obtain
ing a great many, though the bulk OF the
official papers was destroyed.
In the destruction of her residence at
Washington by fire some years ago Mrs.
Robertson had the misfortune 20 lose
large part Of her collection OF papers aud
relies. A large part of those which she
retained now form part Of Savannah's
contribution to the Confederate Museum
at Richmond. She still possesses q num-

Into a ward of the whtewashed walls,
Where the dead and dying lay,
Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls.
Somebody's darling was borne one day.
Somebody's darling so young and so brave
Wearing yet on his pale. sweet face,
Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave,
The lingering light Of his boyhood grace
Matted and damp are the curls Of gold
kissing the snow OF that fair young
brow.
Pase are the lips of delicate mod
Somebody's darling Is dying now.
Back from his beautiful blue-veined brow
Brush an the wandering waves OF gold;
Cross his hands on his bosom now.
Somebody's darling is stif and cold.
Kiss him once for somebody's sake
Murmur a prayer soft and low:
One bright curl from its fair mates take-a
They were somebody's pride you know.
Somebody's hand had rested there:
Was il a mothers, soft and white?
And have the lips Of a sister fair
Been baptized In Inc waves Of light?
God knows best He was somebody's love.
Somebody's heart enshrined him there;
Somebody waited his name above
Night and noon, on he wings OF prayer.

A CURE FOR AL.

To DR.. Hathaway no case is hopeless.
His method of treatment cures.
There are no failures.
1t is as accurate as the laws of nature.
In fact 1t is simply an adaptation of the
laws of nature-of the laws of health.
His system is his own.
He discovered it; he has perfected it,
and he,applies it.
The medicines he uses are all prepared
under his personal direction in his own
laboratory from his own formulas.
Every case is treated individually ac-
cordng to its need.

TO ALL VISITORS. :

There are many people in Savannah This

A CASE OF RAPE.
ARaVishsr Az NamPa, By The Aid Of Citizens
Escapes From Jail.

Sheriff Campbell went up to Nampa
this week after a man by the name of
Schaefer who was arrested for rape
committed on l4-year-old cOlorsd girl
at that place.
A week ago Monday or Tuesday
night young man aged about % years
named Schaefer, employed by MCGEE
of Nampa committed rape on 14-year
old colUred girl, and warrant was
sworn out by the girls mother and the
brute was placed In jail awaiting q
preliminary examination. Friday
night the man escaped, he having been
aided by parties on the outside, who 1t
is said, slipped into the jail coupling
pin and a cold Chissl. The sentiment
OF the town is about equally divided
over whether the man should be
punished or not. The girl was forclbIy
violated, her clothing being al tors
and covered with blood.

ed to take the skin from it. It worked
like charm and stuck like a poros

the whole matter is that the negro

science is suffering some back-sets

actly disprove the phrenologist, but, If
they do nothing else, they throw a
doubt on his theory and deprive It
from being considered as q general
principle by showing there are excep-

patience and get no bear meat. But
up at Rathdrum the bears come right
down into the town to see the sights,
hire room at the best hotel, take in
the town by electric light and ride the
trolley cars. Two bears up there came
down, and instead Of being n ct at the
gates by the brass band and a con-
course of citizens, and the keys of the
city given them by the mayor after a
brief speech, and allowed the freedom
of the streets, as would be done in any
city, they were met at the outskirts by
men armed with every variety of
shooting device, and all the dogs in the
village and country roundabout, who
went out to give them hot reception.
There was a lively tussle, and the bears
got away, completely disg listed with
the treatment they had received. And
