Southern Pines does wonder

who come here for re lief from

is true that many who come
here for a winters sojourn

lady who came to Snuthern

her friends hardly knew her.
This lady spent the summer
and autumn, and also the
early part of winter in a
Northern city. Her cough
returned, her step became
less elastic. and weakness and
loss of flesh followed. She
had been confined to her room
for several weeks and, grow
ing no better, wished herself
back in Southern Pines. Her
physician discouraged her,
He said that she was not able
to take the journey, and that
if she undertook it he would
not be responsible for the
consequences. Regardless of
the doctors advice, she order
ed a carriage, left her sick
room. and took the midnight
train for the South, She
came unattended, arriving
here in unfavora bic weather,
and much wearied after her
long journey.
This was less than a month |
ago. After a few days rest,
the lady began steadily to
gain, and can now take quite
long walks about town. Fan
ned by the piney breezes, her
face is again assuming a
healthy color, and there is
every prospect of her regain
ing her former health and

season arranging for a return
to the North, but expects to
spend the summer under
Southern skies. w.

Beth" Van Lew,
the Spy%%%%%
Famous Woman Recently Passed Away

A strange and picturesque career
was brought to a close by the recent
death in Richmond. Va, of Miss Eliza
beth Van Lew. Before the outbreak
OF the civil war Miss Van Lew held
undisputed sovereignty as the belle OF
Richmond. Her father was wealthy
and surrounded her with all the adj
vantages and luxuries that money
could procure. The stately mansion
which he built and in which his daugh-
ter reigned, remains to this day as
one OF the show places" Of Richmond.
1t stands on Church Hill and directly
opposite the ancient st. Johns Church,
where Patrick Henry made his memo
rable speech. Miss Van Lew never
married and 1t is believed that a love
affair embittered her life, but this be-
lief is founded merely on gossip.
When the war commenced she es-
poused the northern cause in oppo-
sition to the course followed by all
her friends in the days Of her social
supremacy. Her relatives have at
tributed this action to the sentiments
with which she became imbued while
receiving her education in Philadel-
phia. At any rate the Van Lew man.
sion, "the mystery house on the hill,
became the headquarters Of the opera
tions OF the federal secret service in
Richmond. 1t was known to many
southern leaders that Miss Van Lew
was furnishing important information
to the Union commanders, but so clev-
erly did she cover all traces OF her op-
erations that actual proof against her
could not be obtained. II is said that
her field of investigation embraced al
the plans and actions of the Confed-
eracy and its agents, both civil and
military, and the valuable knowledge
which she thereby obtained she com
municated to General Grant.

I'll Luck on Sunday.

For centuries Friday has been re-
garded as the most unlucky day In the
week, but the tendency now Is to re-
gard Sunday as the most unfortunate
day. According to modern statisti-
clan. who has just published an inter-
esting pamphlet on the subject, Sun
day Is certainly more unlucky than
Friday, so far al rulers and other
prominent personages are concerned.
The king OF Italy, he points out, was
killed on Sunday. and 1t was on Sun
day that two previous attempts against
his life were made-namely, on SUM-
day, March II, 1878, and on Sunday,
March 25, 1898. Other cases cited by
him are those of the Due de Berry, who
was stabbed to death on Sunday, Feb.
10, 1920; OF Czar Alexander H.. who
was killed by bomb on Sunday, March
13, 1881; of President Carnot, who was
assassinated by Caserio. on Sunday,
June "a, 1894, and OF NJ. Canovas, who
was killed on Sunday in 1897.

Probably Cambridge is the only place
In the world where one would be like
ly to find butter sold by lineal meas
ure; but here, In accordance with the
old custom, 1t is literally sold by the
yard. For generations 1t has Leen the
practice of Cambridgeshire dairy folk
to roll their butter into lengths, each
length measuring yard and weighing
a pound. Deity wrapped in strips OF
clean white cloth, the cylindrical rolls
are packed into long and narrow bas-
kets made for the purpose and thus
conveyed to market. The butter wom-
en-, who in white linen aprons and
sleeves, preside over the stalls in the
scales for dispensing their wares; con-
slant practice and an experienced eye
enable them with single stroke Of
the knife to divide a yard OF butter
into halves or quarters with almost
mathematical exactness. The uniyer-
sity people are the chief buyers OF this
curiously shaped article. In addition
to being famed for It's purity and

which Miss Van Lew rendered to the
north was in connection with the aid
which she gave to the federal officers
who escaped from Libby Prison. Not
only did she shelter in her house those
who were not recaptured by the Con-
federates, but in many cases 1t was
through her instrumentality that the
success of her plans for escape became
a possibility She was constantly In
communication with Libby Prison, and
sometimes found 1t necessary to hide
escaped prisoners for long time be-
fore 1t was possible for them to get out
OF the city. She was a prime mover
in the plot which resulted In the es-
cape OF Colonel Streight, the noted
raider, who had been captured with
1900 men by Forrest. Colonel
Streights escape was accomplished by
means of a tunnel constructed by the
prisoners.
When General Grant learned of the
evacuation of Richmond he immediate
ly sent his aid-de-camp to see that his
spy was properly cared for, and when
she expressed a determination to con-
tinue to live in Richmond one OF his
first acts upon becoming president was
to appoint her postmistress OF the
town, a position to which he reap
pointed her at the opening OF his sec
ond term. During the Hayes admin
istration she was deposed and, after
a long struggle, finally secured po-
sition In a department in Washington.
The duties there were not pleasing to
her and she finally resigned and re-
turned to her old home.
In personal appearance Miss Van
Lew was considerably under medium
height, with gray curly hair and a
thin, nervous face full of lines. Tc
the day OF her death, however, her
eyes remained singularly keen and
penetrating. 1t was impossible to con
verse with her and not appreciate that
she was a woman of unusual educa-

So much time and thought are be-
slowed on the question of how and
with what shall we cloths the living
that the impression OF fashions for
the dead never comes into our heads.
says the New York Herald. Yet there
are many women earning their daily
bread In New York by catering to the
fashions for those who have passed
into the bourne where II is commonly
supposed there are no dressmakers and
no mllilners. All the casket companies
down In Great Jones street employ
women for no other purpose than to
study the tastes of people In the mat
ter OF shrouds. and these women will
tell you that grave clothes fashions
are just az fckle as the fashions OF
street clothes or party clothes, or In
fact, any other specially designed

styles are followed closely. II large
sleeves are In fashion In the clothes OF

few shrouds made that did not have
a long dip in the back. There Is only
one radical difference nowadays be-
tween the up-to-date shroud and the
up-to-date gown, and that is that the
former always opens in the back. To
get rid OF old fashioned shrouds Ia as
difficult a problem among manufactur-
ers and dealers as II is for the mer-
chant to dispose Of out-of-date cloth

pathy with their views. all contributed
to render him species OF "enfant
terrible" to his government.
II Is these circumstances. coupled
with the fact that his alleged death
took place precisely at the moment
when Russia found herself on the
verge of war with Germany. for
which she was in no sense prepared.
that has given rise to the so wide
spread belief that his demise was fic-
titlous; that he merely vanished from
the scene; prompted by motives OF
patriotism and expediency, and that
he remains to this day In the land OF
