.lFlFlElRSON DAVIS
BY A. G. MUTE

College, Kentucky, later merged
into Kentucky University.
At the age Of sixteen he entex
ed West Point Military Acadeps
graduating there and enterin &c
tive service with the rank of lieu
tenant. AS student he was among
the bril- lntest and most intelligent;
as q companion he was among the
bravest and handsomest.
Be it known to his eternal glory
that in the midst of times when the
drinking of intQSicants was as lit
tie thought of dS is the drinking of
water now, Jefferson Davis was
never known to have been under
the influence of liquor. He was
too we'll nurtured in the essentials
of manhood to have manifested
any tendency towards vice or i'm
morality. Who will deny that
these moral qualities attained in
early life and never once lost
formed the foundation of a per-
sonality which has been heralded
all over the christian civilization
as the hero of honor who never
dared to say anything that was
false nor feared to say anything
that was true and,
Whatever record leaped to light,
His name could not be shamed"
Davis represented the Norman
type-tall, sinewy, fair hair, gray
eyes, high forehead, straight nose,
thin compressed lips and pointed
chin.
The trials of public life have
never revealed a purer and a more
beautiful christian character. He
was a diligent student of Gods
word, man of prayer and be-
lever in the efficacy of prayer.
Most humbly feeling the need of
the cleansing blood of Jesus and
of the Holy Spirit, he united
with the Episcopal Church of
Richmond shortly after his inaug-
uration.
His first experience in active
military service was in the Black
Hawk war in 1882 when he en-
deared himself not only to his
superior officers but to the Indians
as we'll. His next and most promi-
nent military activity was during
the Mexican war.
1t was when he was in the House
of Representatives that the State
of Mississippi appointed him colo
mel of its regiment mustered for
the Mexican War and the COM
mand was promptly accepted upon
one condition, that his men should
be armed with percussion rifles,
(those now famous Mississippi
rifies) in place of the old flint lock,
and though it was decidedly op-
posed innovation, he obtained his
request.
He was present at the capture
and capituIation of Monterey.
He was also present at the battle
of Buena Vista.
General Taylor in his report
said ''the Mississippi ritlemen un-
der Colonel Davis were highly con-
spicuous for their gallantry and
steadiness and sustained through
out the engagement the reputa-
tion of veteran troops" Not the
Spartan martyrs Of Thermopylae,
not the sacred battalion of Epami-
nondas, not the tenth legion of
Julius Caesar, nor the old guard of
ever evinced more for
titude than these young volunteers
in crisis when death seemed inev-

Napoleon never had marshal

did Col. Davis" said Gen. Taylor.

DETERMINING STAIUS
 OF TRAINlN6 SCHOOL
The Supervisors Consider the Legality
 of Apportionine Money to lt.

There was a hearing before the board Of supervisors yesterday to de- terInine the status Of the Tempe Nor mai training school for the purpose of ascertaining whether the Tempe school district is entitled to draw money from the school fund for the pupils of the training school. The matter was brought before the board by q set of resolutions adopted recently by the trustees of six districts, including Phoenix, Mesa and osborn, protesting against the apportionment of money for the pupils Of the training school on dhe ground that the training school was part of the Normal and should therefore be supported by the territory and not by the county
 For more than ten years the training school has derived support from the county funds and perhaps no objection would have been raised now but for the amendment of the school law by the last legislature permitting pupils to go from one district to another, the district to which they attached them selves being permitted to draw money for them.
 It was contended by the Normal of
 
 ficials and rhe trustees of the Tempe district that the pupils of the training school belong to that district and that half of the salaries of the teachers em- ployed in the school are paid out of the district funds. It was contended fur ther that the arrangement was advan- ageous both Eo the pupils of the school and to the Normal school, giv- ing practice 10 the pupils of the latter in preparation for their work as teach CTS. It was further pointed out that the county lost nothing by the arrange ment since of the training school were abolished or its relations with the Nor maj severed, the pupils would still draw money from the county and the salaries of the teachers would have to be paid entirely out Of the county funds, while half the salaries as well as the supplies for the school are now paid out of the territorial fund.
 District Attorney Bullard was pres ent at the hearing and questioned tho Normal officials and the Tempe trus- tees. At the close he gave an offhand opinion that the training school could not be regarded as half normal and half district but before arriving at definite conclusion he said that he would confer with Attorney General Clark
