ALEXANDER HUNTER, A BRIL-
LIANT SOUTHERN WRITER.

Some time ago, we presented to our
readers selection from an article
entitled, "The Women of Moseley's
Confederacy." This most interesting
story was written for "The Confed-
crate Veteran" by Alexander Hun
ter, Southern author, whose prin-
cipal work was "Johnny Reb and Billy
Yank "a splendid book dealing with
the men and the events of the great
Civil War.
OF this work the Chicago Inter-
Ocean says:
"This attitude Of mind on the part
Of the author promises some good
reading. Some facts about the au-
thor should also be Of interest. From
two or three modest paragraphs in
preliminary chapter devoted to a
description of the war madness that
possessed Alexandria, that historic
old Virginia city just across from
Washington, and from a foot note
extract from 'Lockwood's Historic
Homes Of Washington, we learn that
the author is one Of the old Virginia
family of Hunters. At the breaking
out of the war the Hunters lived on
a splendid estate Of $50 acres on the
Potomac between Washington and
Alexandria. This estate had been the
family seat Of the Alexanders and
Hunters for nearly three centuries.
The founder of the American family
was John ", son of the Earl of
Sterling, who arrived in Virginia in
1869 and held all the land from
Georgetown to Hunting Creek by let
ters patent. He died in 1877 and
left to his son John the land between
Four Mile Run and Hunting Creek,
so that the historic home became the

COURTESY AFTER MARRIAGE.

"Maud Muller" writing in the
Chicago Journal, says:
GA great many people seem to
think that the marriage ceremony alb
solves them from all courtesies and
attentions to the person whom they
have wed.
"After that they are always IN
negligee, both as to manner and
clothes: when they are at home.
"This is fatal mistake. Because
a woman is married is no excuse for
her going untidily about the house
and telling her husband home truths
that hurt his vanity. Because wo-
man is his wife, gives man no right
TO saw things to her he would not dare
to say to other women who possessed
a big, able-bodied brother.
"Good manners are the preserve
tives of peace and concord, and are
warranted to keep happiness in any
climate.
"The problem Of how to be happy
through married life is really no prob.
lem at all. No mystery should ever
have been made of it.
cit is merely fair dealing, in fair
partnership-giving the other party
the same privileges and perquisitcs
you assume for yourself and allow
ing the person you love as much corr
sideration and civility as you would
show stranger"

home Of the Alexanders. Descendant
after descendant inherited the estate
until it, together with Arlington, fell
into the hands of Girard Alexander
Girard sold Arlington to George
Washington, who bought it for his
stepson, John Parke Custis.
"The author says Of the family
home which he lost by confscation:
" L doubt whether in the whole
Southland there existed finer coun-
try seat, the house was built solidly,
as if to defy time itself, with ita
beautiful trees, fine orchards, its ter
raced lawns, graveled walks, leading
to the river quarter Of mile away;
the spacious barns, the stables with
fine horses (for which my father, a
retired naval officer, had a special
fondness), the servants quarters,
where dwelt the old family retainers
and their offspring, some fifty or
more. :. ..
+" In the national capital my faith

rooms and spacious grounds, corner

sides dozen or so smaller houses
and many lots.
"t Mr.. Lincoln sent him word that
he would not be called upon to draw
his sword against his native state,
and asked him to let his name re-
main On the retired list, pledging him
that all Of his property would be
strictly guarded. My father refused
the presidents courteous request,
and, infected by the rabid contagion
that swept through the South, lost
all reason, and he left all his great
business interests to go to the dogs,
without on precaution whereby he
might protect his rights. F"

Richmond. Va. June 90. 1907.
Dear Chandler,-Yoursc OF the 9th
is to hand. I fully aUprcciatc and
reciprocate the kind 'ay in which
you write. and assure ySou. as I did
IN my former letter. that whilst I
do not remember the conversation
in my office in Richmond you say
we has do not for a moment
question either your veracity. or
that you gave your understanding
of the interview In your letter
which you wrote DR.. Grayatt after
you returned home.
There Is enough. however in the
quotation in your letter to mo from
this letter to DR.. Gravatt to show.
/ think. that at this interview In
my office ! did not then know or
have in mind the fact that the
person whose status was being
considered was still IAN officer
(though on the retired list) Of the
United States. and as such liable
to perform duty If called upon by
the governmnt. as I now under
stand is the case. 1t is this. and
not the mere receipt of salary,
which 1 think disqualines him.
It was this fact (first recently
called to my attention by Mr.. Geo.
+. ,Haw. I think.) which caused
me to express the opinion that DR..
Gravatt was Ineligible.
When ! saw in letter from
Alice that I was quoted as having
given an opinion contrary to this,
l wrote the letter saying it was
mistake. I did not then. as do
not now. remember my talk with
you; but I want to repeat that do
not for a moment mean to question
the statement that such talk
took place; but only to say that
any opinion I then expressed was
made when I did not know the
facts as I now understand them.
There Is. rest assured, nothing
in the matter which to my mind
should reflect on you, and certain
ly nothing to disturb the cordial
and extremely pleasant relations
which have for many years existed
between us.
Very sincerely yours,

Suggestion That 1t May Take Up

In Event Of Adverse Action by
Senate New Election Would

The contest for the Democratic

effect that should DR.. Gravatt defeat
Caroline, Is attracting widespread at
tention, and much speculation IS be-
iEs INDUCED in as to what might
happen should DR.. Gravatt be elected,
and then because of alleged constitu-
ticnal inhibitions applying to his case,
declared ineligible by the Senate, which
is by plain terms of the Constitution
made the sole judge of the election

Erronenus View.
One view expressed by newspaper
correspondent and quoted in Rich
mond afternoon paper Is wholly at
variance with even the remotest pos
sibillties of such a case 1t is to the
effect tina should DR.. Gravatt defeat
Senator Wickham for the nomination
and be elected over Republican to
the Senate and then be declared ineli-
gible to membership to the body the
defeated Republican would succeed to
the seat thus vacated
Nothing could be further from the
true status OF such a case Or.

one for the Senate at the general elec-
ZION, could not be a party to such II
proceeding, and could not make a con-
test except on the ground OF fraud at

eide that DR.. Gravatt was Ineligible

He spoke with Captain Titcomb but
once. That was during an interval be-
tween dances, when the captain, redhot
but smiling. came strolling toward him.
Hello, Bradr' he exclaimed. Got
here, didn't you? Then, glancing at
the young mans face, he added:
"Havin' a good time? Hope our stop
PIN to talk didn't make any diff'rence?'
The answer was noncommittal.
The subscription ball, extras and all,
came to an end at O'Clock. BY this
time Bradley was once more repentant
and humble When Gus came out of
the cloakroom he went to meet her,
resolved to abase himself and plead
for forgiveness.
"Gus." he stammered. "Gus-I-I-

But as Bradleys anger had cooled,
his fiancee's had arisen.
Thank YOU, she answered, and
every word was crusted with ice.

And Bradley, in his own chamber.
stared out of the window at the light
in Gus room and vowed that he would
not get down on his knees to that
young lady again; let her have her
New York gentleman If she wanted
him. Then he thought Of that other
dance and how happy he had been be-
cause she had given him the waltz that
Sagn asked for. And he went to bed

little more quiet than usual.
Bradley had little appetite. He
drank his coffee, and then, with an ex-
cuse that he was in a hurry, left the
table and, putting on his cap, went out
He was, to all appearances, in high
spirits when he reached the wharf. He
dreaded meeting Captain Titcomb and
Hammond, but he made up his mind
they shouldn't know it, So he chatted
with Barney and Peleg, laughed loud

as he stood at the Lizzie's wheel and

They worked at getting out the tar

hesitancy in his manner.
