And so the end has come at last to
Our Gallant Gordon" Several
years ago, at the close of his lecture
at the Tampa Bay Hotel Casino, we
had a private talk in the rotunda of
the hotel. Gen. Gordon was seated in
a big rocker and l sat on the arm of
the chair with my left arm around his
neck, while he held my right hand IN
his Our relations in the past had al
ways been of the tenderest kind. and
of the most intimate character. AS he
sat there physically exhausted, with
his hand trembling in mine, and tears
in our eyes, l said: General, you are
killing yourself" With a pleasant
smile he replied: Herbert, I shall die
in a good cause" That was the all
pervading principle of action in the
life of John Brown Gordon-soldier,
statesman and orator. He was will
ing to die for the Confederacy, be-
cause he believed it to be "a good
cause" He was just as willing to
! die for a reunited country and to
bring the people of the North and
South into a closer union of hearts
and union of hands, because he be-
lieved it was "a good cause" And so
he went, and evangel of peace and
good will, from Maine to California,
winning the hearts and the confidence.
and respect of his old foes who wore
the blue in the Civil War. No Con-
federate general-not even Gen. Rob
ert E. Lee-could have accomplished
what Gordon did on the lecture plat
form to reunite the North and the
South. Many times, after the close of
his lecture, a Grand Army post enter
tanned him at a private banquet. Ev-
erywhere he went, East or West, or
North, the hearts and homes of the
people were opened to him. But, as
/ said to him at Tampa, he was kill
ing" himself in this noble missionary
work. And at last the end came; he
died in "a good cause" but at home
in the bosom of his loved family. 1
have known illustrious men, from
Daniel Webster down, but have
never known so magnetic a man as
Gen. Gordon; a man so suited to any
position, in war or in peace; one so
very cordial and i6veable and yet so
brave and so commanding. We shall
never look upon his like again. He was
not great financier, nor did he leave
his family even a small fortune as the
result of his arduous lifelong labors;
but he has left them a good name-il-
lustrious in war and in peace-that is
far better than Rockefeller's millions.
Georgia never had a nobler son, and
she never mourned one dead as she
has mourned the loss of John Brown
Gordon, who has gone to
Join the choir invisible
OF those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their pres
ence-live
In pulses stirred to generosity,
In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn
For miserable aims that end in self,
In thought sublime that pierce the
night like stars,
And with their mild persistence urge
mans search
To nobler issues"

was the first born of her gracious and
universally beloved mother, whose grief
no human tongue can properly depict.
God alone can bind up her sorely
bruised and stricken heart. The fact
that Baby Ruth" came to the White
House from New York, an infant, re-
minds me of another infant born in
the White House, now Mrs. Mary
Emily DOnelSon Wilcox, of Washing
ton, D. c. Her mother was a niece
of President Andrew Jackson, and her
father, Maj Andrew Jackson Donel-
son, was the Presidents secretary.
Baby Donelson was christened with
high honors in the famous East Room,
members of both Houses of Congress
and of the diplomatic corps being pres
ent. Jackson and Van Buren, served
as godfathers, while Miss Cora Living
Ston, of New York, acted as godmother.
No date is given of this christening,
but it is said that Baby Donelson was
born soon after GS29) Gen. Jackson
occupied the White House. But the
statement that Lieut.. Robert E. Lee,
U. S. A., and wife were at the cristen-
ing settles one point. 1t could not have
occurred earlier than June 30, 1881, at
which time Lieut.. Lee and Mary
Randolph Curtis were married. Twen-
ty years after the christening, the Rev.
DIR. Gallaher was again called into
service to marry Miss Donelson to
Congressman John A Wilcox, who had
been lieutenant colonel of the Second
Mississippi Infantry in the Mexican
War. The wedding. like the christen-
ing, was a very swell affair, Webster,
Scott, Cass, Fillmore, Douglass, Buchan-

Cyclone CuriOs.

The farmers of Bureau county, Illt-
nois, are engaged in collecting cyclone
curious They gather them from their
own fields.
The first violent blast was at Men
dota, where a wide swath was cut
through the town, blowing down
houses, pulling up trees by the roots
or breaking the trunks as if they had
been pipestems, and killing five people.
Later another disturbance of the
elements blew down a circus tent and
killed one of the pioneer scouts who
had followed Fremont across the
country in his historic expedition.
The articles that have been picked
I'D in the fields form a curious collec-
ton. One farmer has a wedding skirt
that belonged to a woman in the
south end of the county. Another has
the limb of tree that was broken off
a tall oak ten miles distant. Another
man has half door frame and a lot
of new lumber, the owner OF which
cannot be located inside the county.
Another man picked up bundle of

move as much as possible. In the Art
ley house the staircase is there. but
is enclosed skillfully in ornamental
woodwork that greatly relieves its
prominence.
To the right on entering is a small.
private library its corners set with
curved plate glass. To the left is the
parlor, and leading on back at the end
of the hall is the large double dining
room, extending the full crosswise
length of the house. Back of this is
the kitchen, separated from the main
house by a narrow hallway designed
by its draught to arrest fumes from
cooking.
On the second floor are five large
sleeping rooms, bath equipped with the
best fixtures, and above this the at
tic, which also has sleeping rooms.
The house is lighted with gas and
electricity, and heated with hot air.
Instead of wainscoting, the interior

that is admired by visitors. The front
IS graced by large columns, as shown
in the picture, and with piazzas above,

in the parlor, show the results this
class of work is capable of producing.
There is not a folding door in the
house, the separations being made by
drapery. Handsome mantels with mir
rors, ornament the rooms.
Mr.. Artley designed the house, and
the satisfactory results he has obtain
ed, and the compliments of admiring
visitors, indicates that the character
of architecture he has introduced may
become popular.
Since locating in Savannah Mr.. Art
ley has become one of it's most pro-
gressive citizens, and is doing much
towards the upbuilding of the city. He
has just bought the property at the
southwest corner of Thirty-second and
Barnard streets, and will in the early
spring build large apartment houses
there.
