The event is one which, for reasons
of weight, the world will not willing
let pass unnoticed. It is we'll that It
is so. The .life.of Mrs. Jefferson Davis
can not fail to awaken memories that
are sacred and to revive hopes that
are inspiriting. To her 1t was given
to be one Of the honorably conspicu-
GUS figures in a period that Americans
everywhere now contemplate with a
sense ofsreverent pride. In the titanic
struggle OF more than twO:score years
ago, American womanhood, as well as
American manhood, was put to the
supreme test. Throughout this vide
country OF ours, the women as well as
the men, were then required to ssde-
fend the right as God gave them to
know the right" and It, Is but the
simple truth to state that, in an hour
that tried their souls, American wo-
men of the Southern States, as we'll
as American women Of the Northern
States, failed not.

complains; she did not cover before
misunderstanding. She acted as the
strong always act. She worked and
prayed, and waited. She put in the
front Of her consciousness the deter.
lnination to cherish the traditions OF
her race and her breeding. If, in mo.
ments Of success, her example had
been stimulating to her people, in the
hour of disaster, 1t was little less than
ennobling. In her modest home at
Beauvotr," and elsewhere, she lived
life that won the respect, the admi-
ration and the love OF all high minded
men and of all high-minded women.
Suffering was hers, and sorrow was
hers also. In the changes and chances
Of life, the gales OF necessity blew pitt
lessly against her.; yet through 1t all
shone the inextinguishable light Of
character Rloritied by grief.

Dear Sir: st costs as much to put
on poor paint as good "a common
saying and true-it costs much more to
put-on poor paint; more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes or
paint and sand or paint and lime or
paint and benZine or paint and water;
these are the usual cheats; there are
others.
1t takes more gallons of panhandle
cheat than of honest paint; and the
cost of the labor of painting is so much
gallon-0ne gallon costs as much as
another, for labor.
This is the way to reckon your costs
for this year; but how about next
year?
Paint Devoe & Reynolds, and next
year costs nothing; year after next
the same the same for several years
Paint anything else, and your costs
recur according TO what you paint
with. Some of the mixtures wear one
Year; some TWO: some three.
1t costs twice, three times, four
times, five times, as much to paint
with a cheat as with Devoe q Ray
nolds.
Yours truly,

the world one would take to be the
hero of the marvellous adventures that
he recounts in his various books, writes
u raconteur in the Philadelphia Press.
He was under-s sized, was of most
gentle disposition and spoke in soft
voice.
When Du Chaillu was last In Phila-
delphia a little paragraph appeared
about him in local newspaper. 1t was
written by young man whose adj
miration for the feats of the explorer
was boundless and for whom Du
Chaillu was head and shoulders above
any hero of the time. The paragraph
was only a short one, but the writer
had thrown good deal of his admira-
ton into it.
The next day the writer was sitting
in the office alone when a little, timid
looking man tip-toed in and said in a
meek voice:
May 1 see the editor?"
What do you want to see him
about?" asked the writer OF that par

sHAw,s LATEST SUCCESS.

{Cedar Rapids Republican,
Secretary Shaw's refunding scheme
has worked out beyond the most san
guine expectation, and is acknowledge
ed. even by those politically opposed to
him, to be the most successful re-
funding scheme in recent history. Prev
ious TO the inauguration of this plan.
there was outstanding considerable
amount of and per cent bonds. The
scheme was to exchange these bonds
for bonds bearing only per cent in
terest. The secretary did not imag-
inc in the beginning that the refund
ing operations would aggregate over
O,G00, 900 all told. but up to IL o'clock
on Monday, 8 and per cent bonds up to
the amount of S64. 100000 had been re-
funded and converted into 2 per cent
which will run to 1890. The secretary
now believes that the total transactions
will aggregate S100,000,000.
The effect OF this is, of course, APP
enormous sum in interest charges
parent. The government will save ar
And since the market prices of the
various denominations of the bonds are
so nearly together, very little cash Is
passing in conducting the transactions.
1t is Salu tlal up u udle lHs poiiusSo
paid amount to less than s2,OG0,OOO.
But there is still another good result
that comes from this transaction.
These newer and lower priced bonds
will certainly be used by the banks as
a basis for currency which will insure
an expansion of circulation by the
banks sufficient to meet the emergency
that always comes at crop moving time.
This latter fact is really the crown
ing achievement of the transaction.
When congress adjourned in March
without passing the Aldrich bill for the
relief of the money market, fnanciers
took very grave view of the situation.
1t seemed as though nothing In the
way of relief was in sight, and that
a stringency in the money market must
inevitably develop by fall. Secretary
Shaw Immediately went to work to see
what he could do to help out. and the
result of his efforts has been the sue
cessful development of plan which
at once reduces the interest charges by
millions and provides basis for adj
ditional circulation sufficient to.prevent
q Stringency.
