site selected by the Confederates, ana
sen, about GOO yards west Of north Of
the stockade.
So closely had the uncoffined and
emaciated remains been buried that
each grave occupied but little over u
inches in width, consequently. the
small tablets, provided by the govern
ment, measuring 10 inches in width,
nearly touched each other. To-day
those tablets are replaced by neat mar
BILE headstones. On these small mar
BILE slabs is chiseled the. name, rank,
regiment, company and date of death.
Of that number there were 12,461 and
on 451 other and shorter slabs is only
the word-"Unknown." These are
scattered through the long rows of
headstones and are easily detected by
their height and tell a pathetic story,
their fate unknown and their last rest
ing place a mystery. Like sentinels
on guard, the long rows Of white head
stones CLEAN in the sunshine with
beautiful shrubbery and majestic trees
for a background and on Memorial day
starry banners float from each, the

TRAIN DISPATCHER AND ANGEL.

Ill health alone terminated the forty
year usefulness Of Miss Rebecca Brac-
ken, 60, Michigan Central train dis
patcher, perhaps the only woman in
the world who occupied such trying
and responsible position. And her
death, which occurred recently, has
removed from Niles, Mich, the juno
ton Of four divisions, woman who
was admired for her ability and re-
spected as an "angel Of the railroad
men," Her success was due to her
eternal vigilance, and her popularity
to tact and the warm-hearted interest
she displayed in the welfare Of every
employe with whom she came into
contact. It was no wonder, then, that
when a few months ago she was re-
tired on pension, the conductors and
officials gave her a diamond ring and
other testimonials Of their regard.

started railroad work." said Miss
Bracken, in discussing it some months
before her demise. Il think it must
have been in 1868. A girl friend came
to our house to get me to accompany
her in walk to the depot. A soldier
train was going through Niles that
day and the girl had soldier friend

as Andersonville National cemetery.
One hundred and twenty thousand feet
Of lumber was used in making those
wooden headboards. The cemetery
proper is located one-quarter Of mile
oorth Of the prison grounds and con-
tains twenty-five acres, and the drive
way leading from the railway station
to this cemetery is divided by main
avenues running through the center
and subdivided into blocks and sec
tons.
Walks were laid out, ground clear

berry and flowers planted, drain-tiles
laid, the graves and entire ground sod
ded with grass and enclosed with a
brick wall, now ivy-grown, and COM
modious residence built for the super
intendent Of the cemetery. The dead
were found buried in '"enches on a

Iowa will erect a monument during

The wells or deep holes dug by the
prisoners in their effort to find shelter
from the scorching sun and in hopes
of finding pure water, still remain. In
the erection Of the fagstaffs the blue
outlines of the Union uniform, row
Of brass buttons and some bones were

holes are now surrounded by trees
that have sprung up since the war and
whose friendly limbs reach out like
sheltering arms, the thick foliage hid

ture would heal over all wounds.
The most interesting feature of this
stockade is Providence spring, so ap-
propriately named by the heroes of
Andersonville. When the furnishing
soldiers had reached a critical moment
when they could no longer endure,

northwest portion Of the stockade,
thus making in all 80 2-1O acres, which

Of the forts and earthworks surround

public road leading to the railway sta
ton. There is the Main fort, or "Star
Fort" the Confederate forts and bat
teries, powder magazines in "Star

ers were hung, site of Captain Writes

which were donated for this purpose
by that city and gratuitously carried
to their destination at Andersonyille
by all railroads on their route, the site
Of the deadhouse, Stockade creek, q
branch of Sweetwater, the flag staff
and the wells and tunnels dug by the
prisoners, and the famous Providence
spring.
A short distance to the west of "Star
Fort" still stands large hickory tree
which was used as a post Of observa-
ton to watch the prisoners within the
stockade. Nothing has been destroyed
As those enfeebled soldiers left it so it
stands to-day. OF the stockade itself
nothing now remains but the stumps
underground from which the lines may
be easily traced. They are mostly
pitch-pine which will last for many
years. The entire property is now en-
closed with a wire fence with conven-
lent gates.
The dark and murky creek bed of
the COS, whose shallow waters in those
days were contaminated with the re-
fuse Of the two camps of soldiers and
the stables, has been cleared of under
brush and now sparkles and dances in
the sunlight, clear, pure and undefiled.
On Memorial day, 1898, a beautiful
flag staff 115 feet high was erected
within the stockade in front of the
caretakers house. The staff came
from the Old Soldiers colony at Fitz-
gerald. Ga, and is the gift of W. r. G..
No. 2, and members of the G. A r. of
that city. From its peak floats a flag,
the gift of the Prisoners of War Asso-
citation of Connecticut
The W. r. G. No. 9 of Kansas, and
No. 172 of Massachusetts,, donated the
graceful arch at the main entrance on
the west boundary Of the grounds and
at the beginning of the 100 feet right
of-way leading to the railway station,
which bears the inscription anderson
vile Prison Park-in memory of the
unknown dead at Andersonville."
One hundred feet north of the north
line of the old stockade. the W. r. c.
has built a substantial nine-room house
which is occupied by the caretaker
and his family and is commodious
enough for the entertainment Of such
guests as may require accommodations.
Grand Army comrades and such old
Federal soldiers who are unable to

ings by the caretaker, temporarily and
without charge. Illinois furnished the

OLD ANDERSONVILLE PRISON.
Fanous Pen Is Now One of the Beauty
Spots Of the South.


The name Andersonville has become
historic because of the famous prison
where from $4,000 to $4,000 Federal
soldiers, who had been captured by
the Confederate army, were confined
from 1864 to 1865.
The story of Andersonville has be-
come a familiar one in every house
hold, writes Meta c. Hall in Will
Transport (Pa.) Grit. The part which
the prisoners at Andersonyille played
in demonstrating the superior patriot
ism of the American soldier is IN
rivaled. There is nothing in the worlds
history that surpasses it. In the
midst Of suffering indescribable they
refused the comfort and safety tempt
lngly proffered them by the enemy
and remained true to their colors even
unto the DEATH Time, the great heal
er, is rapidly celebrating the harsh
ness and bitterness connected with it.
Future generations will learn from its
softened and mellowed memories the
great lessons of patriotism.

was but one house at the railroad sta
ton known as Andersonville and to-
day there is but little more. The at
traction for the great crowds often
numbering twenty to thirty thousand,
that make their annual pilgrimage to
this their mecca, is not that little sta
ton on the Central Of Georgia rail-
way, nor the red hills of Georgia and
fragrant piney woods, although they
furnish a pleasing landscape. but the
national cemetery and the prison pen
or stockade of war times, the latter
remaining almost the same as when
abandoned by the soldiery.

Story Of ''Dean's" Kindness.

At the DreXel In titute one recen!
afternoon a group Of people recalled a
very charming incident in which the
recently deceased actor, Joe Jefferson
acted a kindly part a few years ago,
says the Philadelphia Record.
President McAlisttr had introduced
Mr.. jefferson, who had made his adj
dress to the students, and was about
to leave, when the doctor told him how
delighted Il certain hrt student would
be if she could meet him. This girl
was brought every day in her roller
chair. and had been a shut-in up to
that time.
The veteran actor was delighted.
SO was the girl.
He talked. and talked we'll, and she
listened
In the course of the conversation he
learned that not only had she never
seen him act, but that she never had
been to a theater, ahd didn't think it
possible to go.
That was enough for Joe Jefferson.
It was arranged in less time than it
takes to tell it to have ner brought to
the stage door ten minutes before the
raising of the curtain that evening.
When she was brought to that door,
around which clings so much mystery.
she was met by Rip" himself in his
quaint makeup, just as he has been
received thousands Of times by ap-
plauding audiences.
Throughout the performance the girl
in her roller chair remained a charmed
listener at one side of the stage.
