A girl who didn't get to the war
lived in Baltimore. She fell in love
with a soldier of the Seventh Maine
regiment, while the regiment was en-
camped near that city. She visited
the camp so often that the colonel
finally told the soldier that if he
wished to marry her he could do SO.
He willingly jumped at the chance,
and after the ceremony by the chap
lain the young couple went to house
keeping in tent set apart for them
But that didn't last long. Under pre-
text that the soldier was going aboard
a vessel. she was sent back to the city.
Just before the regiment was ready to
move the wife appeared at camp in
full regulation uniform and vowed she
was going to the front with hubby
She diGH't go. but was sent to Wash
ington, and the regiment went away
without her.

Speaking of the memorial to Jeffer-
SON Davis which it is designed to erect
in Richmond, Va, the Richmond Dis
patch says: THE arch is not to be q
triumphal arch, but a memorial arch.
Mrs. Davis has withdrawn all objec-
lions to the design Since she has
been satisfied in the matter it is to be
hoped the people of the south will now
come together as one man and erect
this long-deferred monument II not
done now it may never be done at all.
The arch is to be erected in Monroe
park, which was a Confederate camp

Dragging Flowers

Ever since the days of that floral

been pursued further by inquiring peu

The town of Essen, in which his

In 1888 Mr.. Krupp, in accordance
with the wishes of his late father, set
aside one million marks ($238, 000) as
a permanent fund, the earnings of
which were to be used for the benefit
of the workingmen. in 1887 Alfred
Krupp created similar fund of $780,

be devoted to the general betterment
of conditions in the city of Essen An

hospital service is on an advanced

two special hospitals for epidemic
cases. Between one and two thou

Finally, the most important from
the standpoint of the workmen, is the
system of insurance funds, by which
all the workingmen are insured
against accidents, sickness and inval-

borne himself admirably.
He has been earnest, dignifed, sin
cere, entirely devoted to the interests
of the veterans and the Grand Army
of the Republic, and unsparing of his
time and abilities in promoting their
interests. He has made the best i'm

consciousness of duty well and ac-
cepuably done. he inherited from pre-
ceding administrations very trouble
some question in regard to the Com

this with the greatest firmness, tact
and understanding. All other ques-
lions he met with equal success, and
there is nothing but praise for all that

Frederick Alfred Krupp, the great
gunmaker, died in Essen, Germany,
Nov. %.
He was AZ years old and his death
was unexpected. His physicians say
he succumbed to apoplexy, superin-
duced by the attacks made upon him
by the German socialist organ Vor-
waert, which had preferred against
him the gravest charges of immoral
ity. For some days there were rumors
that he had committed suicide, but
this is strongly denied.
The physicians who were in attend
ance upon Herr Krupp have drawn up
statement, which for the present is
kept secret, but it is understood that
it declares he died of apoplexy.
1t appears that after Herr Krupp
regained consciousness, after his first
stroke of apoplexy, he insisted on dis
cussing with his solicitor, Herr Korn,
the prosecutions of the newspapers for
publishing accusations against him,
and that thereupon the second stroke
followed.
Emperor William attended the fu-
neral, which took place from the little
old house where his father lived poor
1y while striving to cast the first steel
gun.
The will of the deceased gunmaker,
according to- semi-authoritative
statement, provides that the works
shall not be turned into a joint stock
company under twenty-five years.
Meantime the revenues of the whole
property will go to the widow, and
after her death to the eldest daughter.
The value of the estate, estimated by
bankers who were connected with
Herr Krupp, is $75,OOO,O0O. This does
not include securities owned by the
deceased outside his manufacturing
plants, which may possibly amount to
as much more.
The suicide theory has not yet quiet
ed. The Cologne Gazette says:
Whether he died of shock due to ex-
element and enlightenment over the
attacks made upon him or whether,
adjudging himself guilty, he took his
own life, are questions which, how
ever, answered by the accusation it
self, must halt at his death"
Frederick Alfred Krupp's name is
famous wherever steel and steelmak-
ing are known. The greatest pur-
veyor of the tools of war, he was at
the same time, by the very immensely
| of his operations, one of the greatest
/ promoters of peace.
Among radicals and democrats Herr
Krupp was known as the man who
would not accept title. Among phil
anthropists he was known as the
friend of wholesome conditions of life
for the masses and as the friend of CO.
operation. Among inCustrials he wes
known as the greatest employer of
labor in the world.
Frederick Alfred Krupp was Al years
old. 1t is now fifteen years since he
succeeded his father, the great Krupp,
in the control of the great establish
ment at Essen. On his pay rolls
there were more than $4,000 men, en-
