MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The Nashville American of yesterday says:
 s. A. Cunningham, editor of The Con- federate Veteran. returned yesterday from a trip to Texas. He reports that active preparations are already under way for the reunion of the United Con- federate Veterans, which is to be held ct Dallas the last week in April. The Confederate Hall is to be about as large as the one at Memphis. and one of the structures at the fair grounds Is to be remodeled for this purpose.
 While in New Orleans on his return Mir. Cunningham had a conference with Mrs. Jefferson Davis, who expressed sincere regret at not being able to ac- cept the hospitality of Nashville Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy. but said she would be obliged to look after ship ping or storing in other quarters furni- ture, etc., etc, which was long cared for by the late MT. McGinnis, who was an old friend of the family.
 In discussing the length of her stay fin the South. Mrs. Davis expressed her devotion to the Southern people in a manner to put at rest, If understood. criticisms or expressions of surprise by many people at her living in New York and spending the heated term farther North She referred to the zeal of the Southern women in the movement to build the Davis monument Then she spoke of the veneration of the Veterans to her husbands memory. and in reply to the

 Tn short" said MT. Bellanger. Fair hope is living example of the single tax idea
 Mir. Belanger is one of the members of the Fairhope Council. of which George Bancroft Is president. Ills associates on the Council are Frank Brown, C. A. Parker. William Call and Nathaniel Mer- shon.
 T believe" said Mir. Bellanger, in conclusion, that the Fairhope Company will have to extend its scope very soon, so popular has Its system proved. The company has already secured options on great deal of additional land, and its purchase is only a question of time."

 New Orleans Picayune.
 J. Bellinger. one of the members of the tax community. is in New Orleans on . business trip, and yesterday he talked most interestingly of the settlement to a representative of The Picayune, ern shore of Mobile bay and about fifteen miles from Mobile. It has a population of about 200 and every soul in the com munity Is contenteu. The town Is run ized at 5000. The idea which gave birth to 1t was not to make money. but to test the efficiency of Henry Georges single tax plan. The test has been a success in every way. There are no rich men in Fairhope. but there is none poverty stricken.
 The Fairhope Company owns 1,2oo acres. When 1t was organized and the land bought the joint stock company plan was adopted as the only method to secure the operation of the single tax theory. The company owns these 1.2o0 acres and leases its land to any applicant of sat isfactory personality. The rental charged Is based solely on the value of the ground leased, from the standpoint of site and productivity. The leases given are for ninety-nine years, so that the renters have a food hold on the land. and no
 "The Fairhope Company pays all taxes out of the rents. except the taxes on moneys and credits. This plan makes the land values bear all the burden of taxation. and realizes the ideal of that great thinker. Henry George. No matter how many improvements a renter puts on the land he leases. his rent is not raised Suppose you buy seat in the theatre. You pay a stipulated price for 1t, and the management does not charge you any more, whether YOU wear cloth- ing or jewelry valued at a million dollars or attend in the plainest attire. After you purchase the seat, 1t makes no diff ference whether you attend at all or not. in fact. Just so with land-the land Is worth no more with a house on it than >before the house was built, unless there are other causes for an advance in its value
 "Fairhope owns all its franchises. It owns the town wharf. which is the source of considerable revenue. It built this wharf without dollar. Instead of pay. ing for the material and labor in money, it issued certificates entitling the holders to the use of the wharf after its com. pletion in proportion to their contribu- tons. Every one of these certificates has been redeemed already, and the company has drilled a public we'll and bought a steamboat. which piles between Fairhope and Mobile on the same plan. As soon as the well Is paid for. the water will be free.
 There are in Fairhope four stores, a photographic gallery. a bakery, livery stable, a hotel, carpenters and mechanics and truck farmers. Truck farming is the principal vocation of the residents of the

A Church Built of One Tree

LIVerpo0I P0st.
 Think of an entire church being con- structed of the wood Of single treel Santa Clara, Cal. has such a house of worship. In 1853 the first Baptist service an oak tree. When the same Baptist society decided to build a church the site on which the tree stood was selected. This monster of the forest, which cast an acre of shade. was then cut down at a height of twenty-five feet and the tim Der was cut into lumber. The big stump was partially hollowed and allowed to stand as the church tower. A high stee- pie was erected on 1t, and the church was giant oak. When the church was com- pleted. l.20e feet of lumber remained un- used. The building is thirty feet wide by seventy feet deep. It Is a strong and handsome structure, and is one of the show places of Santa Clara.

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR,
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
 A dainty belt buckle for a seashore costume has a scroll of water lilies, with dolphin in the center. and is made in gold or oxidized silver.
 White suede gloves are popular. In the glace kid white is also the leading shade, and the four button length, with rounded corners at the wrist. is much in demand.
 The chain on which the fashionable women carries her metal pocketbook is now made of black jet. A few are of black metal. with tiny pieces of jet set in at intervals.
 Knit shoulder shawls. which can also form a head covering, are made in the umbrella cape effect. and have been ac- cepted as necessary part of every wo- mans summer outfit.
 An English fad that has just reached America Is that of wearing sandals. These come in several styles. and their use Is said to meet with the approval Of physicians and chiropodists.
 The demand for canoes has led to the manufacture of an imitation cameo brooch which can hardly be distinguish ed from the real. Some young women wear these brooches on the cufts of out side garments.
 A dainty novelty in neckwear is the leaf effect boa. It Is constructed of small pieces of silk or chiffon, cut in the form and size of flower petals, and has long streamers at the front, trimmed In the same manner.
 The complexion veil promises to usurp the place of the chiffon as the weather becomes milder. Black is the most in demand, and a few complexion veils of black and white are worn. Occasionally a touch of blue Is added. new and beautiful effect has been produced in black sash ribbon. It is of silk material with a solid effect border about two inches in width. The center is transparent gauge, and through 1t runs an undulating trailing vine design. A new finish for waists consists of a white lace collar, edged with finely pleated black chiffon, which is in turn bordered with a narrow chiffon pompa- dour ruching. It has the effect of a bertha and gives the desired width at the shoulders.
 Mitts made of Greek nets are em- broiderea with silk or jet or colored beads and even gold. silver or steel. At the wrist they are drawn in by narrow rib- bons Mitts, says "The Dry Goods Economist" are already in use for even- ing wear. and will be popular for street wear later in the season.

 "I have come to stay just as long as possibly can: shall stay until the hot weather drives me away. And, then she added with sincere and heartfelt expression: I would stay here Always if could; only wish that I could live here. But I cannot stand the least heat. It overpowers me completely. And SO when the warm days come must always so. God only knows how love my country, this dear old South land. endeared by so many hallowed memories and her eyes filled with tears as she added: These are my people, and love them as perhaps they will never know. Their devotion, their love, their reverence for the memories of my hus- band and daughter, touch my heart very deeply. I read. with interest none can tell. all the sweet and kind things that are said about them; I watch the beau tifui celebrations they hold and note how much they seek to honor the memory of my husband and teach their children to do 1t. too. I can never, never forget all the honors and homage that these dear, devoted people paid my husband and daughter in their lifetime; how the old veterans loved them .and what sym pathy and love were shown me in my great sorrows. Yes. love the South,
