"YnSoer," a story dealing with fisher life
on little island off the CardiganShire
coast. was written for the national Els
teddfod of 1894. and won the prize offered
for the best tale descriptive of Welsh life
and character. Three years later came
her first novel, "a Welsh Singer" of

up to the present time.
Some of Allen Raine's critics have taken
her to task because her books, they say,
are too idealistic. Her defense is that
she Is fully aware that there are dark
stains on the morals of Wales, as on those

The parole of the surrendered troops
took place April II. The number of
men and officers so paroled was 2S.356,
but the effective strength Of Lees army
was not SO great as this. Many of the
men were incapacitated for military
service, and many were without arms.
The horses were without forage. ammu-
milton was scarce and the men had not
known full army ration for weeks
One of the first acts Of Grant was to
order the issue of $4,000 rations for
Lees hungry veterans. Tho Union
strength at the beginning Of .he cam
palgn westward from Richmond was
10000. The losses were 1876, SO that
Grants strength at Appomattox was
about 10000 men.
No one of the present inhabitants OF
AppomattoX lived there in 1865. The
Star man could not learn the name Of
the present owner of the Mclean house
and ground. but was told by a gray
beard Of the hamlet that the place was
owned by a rich woman somewhere
up north A large tract of the sur
render ground is owned by Mai. George
c. Armes Of Washington.
George Peers, who for fifty yaars was
clerk of the court of Appomattox
county, and who is now eighty years
old. lives at New Appomattox His
memory is clear, and his recital of the
incidents of the surrender is very true
to the historic narrative.

day there were enhancing variations in
chiabrscuro. bringing out other moods of
the Monument. Returning, the car swept
around the road encircling the White Lot.
Monument might be viewed in its COM
position with groups of trees or seen
through their network Of branches not
yet filled up with foliage. Occasionally
a charming vista presented its own Pc
culiar combination. with the towering shaft
showing through the center.
The Washingtonian spoke of another
series of interesting phases Of the Monu-
ment.- This was concerned with its eff
fects of composition when seen In rela-
ton to some Of the buildings. statues and
grounds. From the east end of the steps
of the south approach of the Treasury
building one of these compositions, In
conjunction with the Sherman statue. was
pointed out Another combination was
discovered within the White House
grounds. where the Monument is seen
through the trees over either ter
race. An interesting view was secured
from the center-east entrance to the War
and Navy building. There was a view of
Ahe top looking over the White House
from the northern side of Jackson Square.
The manner In which the Monument
centers in looking south on President"
street, produced another effect of COM
position. The glimpse of 1t just past
the corner of the Treasury as seen from
18th and G streets was still a diffe rent
combination.
The several views from Capitol Hill of
fered some variety. Here the Monument
was to be seen more in its relation to
its general surroundings. but 1t was also
a point of vantage to see from time to
time certain varying moods.
A remarkably effective view was
brought out by standing a little within
the middle entrance to the terraces. Seen
through the vista of the arched doorway,
the view takes in the broad lawns of the
Capitol grounds. the statue of Marshall
beyond. the Botanic Gardens and then
straight down the Mall toward the Monu-
nent, which forms :he LIS of the COM
position.

After the conference Lee and Marshall
left the Mclean house. Grant and his
staff were the last to leave. AS soon as
news of the surrender was known one or
more Union batteries began firing salutes.
