MISS DOROTHY HAMMOND.
An English Actress Who Was Intro
dueed by Mr.. Mansfield.

Miss Dorothy Hammond, who has be-
gun her second stock company engage
ment in this city as leading woman to
Guy Standing, at the Belasco Theater,
was first introduced TO American audi
enees by the late Richard Mansfield a
few seasons ago. when he brought her
from England 10 create the principal
feminine role in his massive production Of
Julius Caesar"
So satisfactory TO the eXacting Mans
field was Miss Hammond's performance
that he did her the honor of being the
only actress he ever continued as his lead
ing woman for more than a single season,
and at the termination Ct the tragedian' S
tour she was Immediately secured by
Henry Miller to head the company which
supported him when he produced Man
Proposes" at the Hudson Theater IN New
York City.
Previous to coming to America, Miss
Hammond had won her way into the
front ranks of popular actresses in Lon
don, where she was so warmly received
that she played continuously at one the
alter for several seasons. During her
career in the British metropolis Miss
Hammond was conspicuous in some Of the

send Representatives 10 meeting.
It is said that the seventh annual con-
ventlon OF the National Association OF
Plano Dealers Of America, TO be held at
the Hotel Ast0r. New York City, June s,
Q, 10, 1908. will be a hot one. There Is a
growing disposition on the part Of a large
number of dealers to get rid of many of
the unbuslnesslike methods which have
prevailed in the piano trade.
A question that gives most annoyance
to the dealer is that of allowances for old
instruments. particularly old organs and
square pianos, which are offered in eX-
change toward new instruments. These
old relics OF bygone days are practically
worthless The furniture dealer would
laugh at the suggestion that he take an
old bedroom set in part payment toward
a new, and the clothing dealers have not
yet started the custom Of taking the old
winter clothes in part payment toward
a new spring suit Fond husbands would
hail the day when the milliners would
take the wives old hats and credit them
on the bill for the new ones. but they
have not done any mailing yet.
But this is not the only feature of the
piano trade which the Dealers Association
objects to- The dealer claims that he is
a humping post between the manufacturer
and the consumer. There are some things
from the manufacturing end that the
dealer does not like, and while the meet
ings of both the Manufacturers Associa-
ton and the Dealers are held on succeed
ing days, it IS likely that some pretty Wig
orous discussions Will be INDUCED in be
tween the two bodies. It is estimated that
there viii be from twelve to fifteen hum
bred dealers from all over the United
States at this convention. Both the rail-
road companies and the hotels have
granted special rates.

Detachment of 40 Men.

The detachment consisted Of 40 men
and twenty officers. It was known only
that the Confederate President was flee
ing south-his destination was a mystery.
About clock on the morning Of May 9
the detachment reached Abbevllle. where
the officer in charge was informed that a
small wagon train. with an ambulance. had
crossed the Ocmulgee River. at Browns
Ferry. a mile and half from Abbeville.
on the previous night The tattered. half
starved cavalrymen were later informed
by a colored man that a small party had
encamped about a mile and a half of the
Abbeville read. On the night Of May 10
the detachment was split into parties to
make a systematic search Of the neigh
boThoOd.
Riding quietly through the dark. the
party with Knobel and Rinke came upon
a camp OF three tents, several wagons.
and an ambulance The first tent was
guarded by a cOl0red man, who had fallen
asleep Rlnke and Knobel made him pris-
oner, and Knobel entered the tent With
leveled earbine. Here he found Davis. his
wife. and family. The several COnfeder-
ate officers who were sleeping in the other

offer resistance.
Davis surrendered quietly to the men OF
the detachment As he was being led
away, Mrs Davis advanced and threw a
shawl over his shoulders. which incident
later gave rise to the unjust story that
the Confederate President had attempted
to escape disguised as a woman.

When the other officers and men Of the
detachment hurried UP and Corp. Mum
ger asked Davis grufly if he was JefT
Davis" the Confederate President an
swered that that was not the proper way
in which to put the question. With level
ed carbine, the soldier repeated the query
in the same manner. and while Mrs.
Davis threw herself between the corporal
ana her husband the fallen leader bowed
his head slightly, and. seeming for the
first time to recognize the power of VIC
tory. acknowledged his identity. Mrs.
Davis later prepared such food as was in
the camp for the Union soldiers, after
which the march back to Macon with the
prisoners was begun
Congress presented to each of the four
teen members of the party a gold medal
on which was inscribed:
Fourth Michigan Cavalry. To one OF
fourteen who captured Jefferson Davis
May 10, 1855"
Mr.. Knobel is now the only one Of the
fourteen surviving to display the medal
The reward of $4,000 for the capture OF
Jefferson Davis was offered by the gov.
eminent following Lincoln's assassina-
ton, when it was rumored that the Con-
federate President had instigated the
murder. The rumor was almost immedi-
ately disproved, but the reward was di-
vided between the officers and men of the
Fourth Michigan. Mr.. Knobers share
was $685.

in conversation.
These three young girls were fault
