TO RETIRE PIERRo
 LOTT, THE AUTHOR

Paris, Dec 4-Pierro Loti, the celebrated author, whose real name Is well known to be viaud. and who has made his whole career in the French navy. being stationed first as Lieuten- ant and then as captain in foreign or colonial ports, where his talent of observation furnished him with material for his striking novels. Is about to be placed on the retired list. owing to his age.
 This may come as surprise to many of his admirers. who. no doubt, have continued all these years to picture him to themselves as the same youth full officer who drew these graphic pen- pictures of his Oriental experiences But though his mind remained ever young and active, he could not keep back the hand of time, and he Is now approaching the age of sixty. He was born at Rockefort on January IA. 1850, of an old Protestant family. and be- gan his naval career as a midshipman on the Borda In 1867. He served a long time as an enseigns de vaisseau, which rank he obtained in 1873. and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1881. He felt very happy in his comparatively obscure colonial and foreign posts, where he keenly obser- we'd the customs of the natives and gathered the material Tor his storles' which were mostly a mere collection of notes written in his cabin on board ship. A great part of his years of service was spent in the South Sea Islands in Japan. and on a guardship at Constantinople, where he was in command of the Jawelot. and latterly of the Vautour. In 1891 he was elected a member of the French Academy The decree placing him on the retired list was signed by M. Fall Heres a few days ago.

MOBBED THE QUEEN.
TOwnspeOpIe of Windsor Curious to See
 Royalty.

London, Dec. 4.-The people of Wind sor are annoyed at an incident which happened a few days since. Queen Alexandra, according to her custom, walked out of the side gates of the Castle known as the stable entrance for brief walk in High street Queen Maud. of Norway, Princess Victoria, and a Iady-in- waiting were with her.
 They went to Messrs. Barber's wnO hold the royal warrant for antiques and curios. and while the Queen was in the shop making purchases her pres ence in the town became known and curious crowds flocked into the narrow street and peered through the win dows at the royal ladies.
 There were nearly three hundred people in the street outside the shop. and the queen was unable to leave.
 Such thing is unheard of in Wind sor where the Queen usually walks with the freedom of a private citizen.
 Finally one of the managers of the shop brought the police. who pressed the gaping sight-seers back to the op- posite pavement.
 This mobbing of her Majesty con- siderably shortened her stay In the town. and the party returned almost Immediately by way of the stable en- trance

arrested attention. It is felt that this rumor has more substance behind 1t than the others. and several newspa- pers in this country are already dis cussing the appointment almost as if 1t were an accomplished fact.
 With the exception of a rather vlo- lent outburst by The Natal Mercury, which 'of all possible selections can not conceive a worse." and which says that the post demands the nerve and diplomatic genius of the best man the Imperial Government can engage" comment Is guarded and not unfavor- able.
 The Transvaal Leader suggests that Mir. Gladstone's experience of the "suffragettes' should qualify him to handle the Asiatic passive resisters. and believes that he would favor q cautious individuafism in economic policy and would not be guilty of so- cial ostentation. The star says that if the choice Is to be limited to the present cabinet, South Africa might go further and fare worse. 1t seems to be agreed that the most unfortunate feature of MT. Gladstone's appoint ment would not be connected with his own personality but would lie in his name, which. however distinguish ed, Is associated with the bitterest controversy in South African history.
 In important and successful ex- pertinent in proportional representa- tion has just been concluded in the annual town council elections at Jo- hannesburg and Pretoria. In Pretoria the votes. which numbered under B.. 900, were counted the same evening and revealed a relativly heavy poll and a general understanding of the business of voting. In Johannesburg. where upwards Of 12.000 votes were cast. the counting was a long affair. The percentage of spoiit votes was heavier than in Pretoria. but the bulk of these were not attributable to the mysteries of the new system. There was no hitch whatever in either place in the business of counting and distrib- uting the votes. It Is significant that

Decayed Families.

The Anthenoeum.
 We have known Morleys who were entirely ignorant of the race from which they came. Sometimes 1t is far otherwise. The family of Conyers Is a remarkable example. It ended in the last baronet, Sir Thomas, who died in. 1S10 without male issue. He would have passed away in the par ish workhouse of Chesterle street had not Robert Surtees of Mainsforth, the historian of the County Palatine of Durham, the other generous neighbors intervened. To the last he showed that he was well aware of the dignity of the house he represented, and for some time declined to receive assis- tance from his friends. Another re- markable case is that of Grenville. This family was noteworthy in the wars of the Caroline period, yet as time passed sank so low that two of It's members were at one time receiv- ing parish relief, and one of them evidently by some mistake which it Is difficult to account for. was twice pricked for high sheriff at the very time he was a pauper.

How Can We Best Honor our Most
 Beloved Alabama Daughter Of


 The Confederncyg
 To the Ala. Div. U. D. C., and Auxili-
 aries:
 One of the bravest battles ever fought in the terrible struggle of the sixties was one in the heart and life of an Alabama woman, Mrs. Virginia Clay Clopton. In the excitement and carnage of war men are upheld and buoyed on to victory by the enthusi- asm and support of their leaders. and comrades. but in the fearful and agonizing experience of our heroine. during the arrest and Imprisonment of her husband Hon. Clement c. Clay at Fortress Monroe, she was sustain ed and strengthened alone by her sublime faith in God. and belief in the innocence of the noble prisoner. Hers was not "a soul to shirk It's task" when the moment of trial came. but fighting night and day alike. amidst foes without and fear within, she arose at last triumphant and has lived to see the righteousness of her cause completely vindicated. The story of her efforts in behalf of her husband in his captivity are told in Garretts Prison life of Jefferson Davis in Vol. II of Hon. Thos M. Owen's Histori- z cal Records and in her remarkable Memoirs.
 One writer speaking of her heroism said "her devotion in this crisis was morally grand"
 Certain it is she measured up to the full height of her glorious woman hood. and was an example of true, Spartan courage.
 She demanded justice and freedom to the lonely sufferer who was dying by degrees in the damp and narrow prison cell And her pleadings were not in vain.
 In her own eloquent words she writes after a whole years futile attempt to make a case against him. employing bribery to the amount of thousands of dollars, perjury of the deepest dye, and all manner of cor ruption and rottenness in high places this brave, innocent, self-surrendered prisoner, entitled to a trial by jury of his countrymen, though enemies. which trial. though importuned was persistentiy denied. was, at last through the ceaseless efforts of his wife, allowed to pass the iron bars of his cell"
 All of Alabama rejoices that this wonderful woman lives today as a benediction, and inspiration to her youth and 1t has been suggested that as a loving testimony to her radiant personality, brilliant intellect. sweet 2 womanhood. and splendd courage and loyalty the Daughters of the Confed- ercy of Alabama and children of the Confederacy unite in a perpetual tri- bute of honor to her.
 What would be more worth while and a greater honor than scholar ship called the Virginia Clay Clopton for the education of worthy young girls, descendants of our noble army of martyrs" in Alabama?
 The Scholarship Committe for this season with J. N. Thompson, Tus- cumbia chairman Is assisting in the education of a worthy young man al Auburn. This scholarship has been for two years at the university. The Rob F. Lee Memorial Scholarship under taken by the children under the lead ership of Mrs. Pickens has raised $1.250.O0 and established permanent Scholarship al Auburn.
