", officers of the George E. Dixon Camp, Sons of Veterans. and other guests, some from distant States, all alike esteeming 1t high privilege to be present.
 Mrs. Jones is a typical Daughter of the Confederacy. an enthusiastic. earnest, un- tiring worker and she had made of her home a house beautiful in honor of the beloved President of the Confederacy.
 With generous hospitality all the living rooms were thrown wide open and were aglow with life and light and color.
 The great homely back porch broadly open to the exhilarating salt breezes of the Gulf. had been converted into an au- nitorium, lighted by many shaded lan> terms and fragrant with Summer blos- sons. Bunting in profusion had been used everywhere, and proudly Haunted its folds of red and white and the battle flags so sadly furled years agone. once again fared in the sea breezes At one end of tho Iong porch was a bower of beauty fringed with snowy magnolia blossoms and banked with waving palms and masses of geraniums and rich red roses; here was enshrined a handsome portrait of Jefferson Davis, wreathed rev. erently around with the gray of the Southern moss and there were clustered many valuable and cherished mementoes of Mir. Davis and of the Lost Cause. per sonal to Colonel and Mrs. Jones, and to the late distinguished Bishop wilmer.
 Tn a few graceful words Mrs. Jones well cor11ed her guests, expressing the wish that this, the initial celebration by the Mobile, Chapter, would inaugurate the comfnetnomtion hereafter of the Srd of June and the 18th of January.
 Then solemnly and reverently she an- nounced: Jefferson Davis, born June 3rd 1898; died Dec 9th, 1899" And introduced Mrs. E. Semmes Colston, President of the Mobile Chapter. as the orator of the evening" Mrs. Coston made an address appreciative of the life and services of the great chieftain, and was warmly ap- plauded. Then followed the reading of letter, from MT. Davis to the late hon ored Bishop Wilmer, which was full of expressions of esteem for the good Bishop and testified alike to the worth of receiver and writer of the letter
 Dainty refreshments of ices and cakes were served in a style befitting their col ors, the ''red and white" and while these were being enjoyed an interchange of war memories and war stories was freely i'm dulged in and delighted alike narrators and listeners, and the evening closed with the hallowed strains of Dixie and it's homely words, as sang in concert by the women and men of 1865 and of 1903, thrilled the hearts of the parting guests.

yuNG Lu OF CHINA DEAD.
Chief Adviser of the empress Dowaaer
and Emperor.

Pekin, April 14.-Yung Lu, the con-
troller of finances and first grand sec
rotary, Is dead. He has been suffering
for some time past from dropsy, and
was known to be critically i'll. A month
ago he asked permission to retire from
officer but the dowager empress urged
him to take rest instead, as the en-
peror needed his services.
Yung LUIS death removes the great
est power in the government of China,
except the dowager empress, and many
consider that the dowager empress
was under his dominion.
His death was largely due to his re-
tusal to consult any foreign physician
until almost in extremes, when he
called in the doctor of the Japanese le-
cation.
Yung Lu was a Manchu, and at the
time of the beginning of the Boxer out
break was viceroy of the province NJ
Pc Chi Ii and generalissimo Of the
Chinese army. He was then said to De
the most powerful man in China his
influence being even greater than that
of Ii Hung Chang. Since the death OF
the latter, Yung Lu has more than
once been represented as debating the
policy of the dowager empress and EN-.
peror.
The rapid rise of Yung Lu from a
small military commander to be vice
roy of Pc Chi Ii, and later to be one
of the highest counsellors of the dowa-
ger empress, is said to have been un-
precedepted. He obtained his post OF
generalissimo as reward for crushing
the reform party in China
Yung Lu was said to be the real au-
thor of the antiforeign outbreak in
Pekin and Tien Tsin, and he command
ed the first disciplined troops which
opposed the allies. mis- latter fact
was recalled by foreigners when In
1901 he was awarded the two eyed
peacock feather ''for protecting for
eigners against the Boxers.
