WOMAN WAS A SOLDIER
Tablet to Honor Barbara Ann
DuraVan, Who Died In
Prison.

Captured by union soldiers as con-
federate spy and imprisoned in Alton
during the civil war, it was not known
until death that b. A. Duravan was a
woman, that she was Barbara Ann
Duravan, and that she had come from
Tennessee. On one OF the tablets of
the big shaft now being ereded in
memory of the 1900 confederate SOL
diers in the confederate cemetery in
Alton, the st. Louis Republic says,
will appear the name of the only wom-
an buried in the cemetery.
An old citizen of Alton recalled the
story, the discovery that the prisoner
was a woman creating much excite
ment at the time.
With a big batch of soldiers brought
in to be incarcerated In the prison
was a frail little creature who gave
the name of b. A. Duravan. Duravan
had been where the bullets had been
flying thick and fast, had been in the
long marches with Lees army, had
slept out in the open when only the
snow that fell served as cover to
keep the little soldier warm.
Comrs les had warm spot in their
hearts for Duravan. The little sol.
der was strong in the belief of the
southern cause. eager to bring about
the defeat of the unionists.
One morning Duravan was found
dead in the prison cell and then II
was learned for the first time that the
pale little soldier was a woman.
Two days ago the story of the
brave woman who had donned mans
clothes to go to war was revived and
her name will be especially emblaz
oned on the bronze tablet that will
mark the resting place of the sol
diers.

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through it's use were we'll described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in it's
behalf were fully proven. First Of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
or per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White. was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place. without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part CT the route was most con.
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

amount of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car In
other respects made a most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum OF COM
fort. The only adjustments or TO
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring a damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not In
flicted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score"
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in couple OF
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that 1t ia
not believed that any purchasers will

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead OF
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed oyer other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, If such had
existed Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
flicted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

WIFE NEED NOT Use
NAME OF HUSBAND

TOPEKA. Kas., May 11.-Atty.
Gen. F. ID. Jackson has given 1t as
his official opinion that married
woman does not have to take the
name of her husband unless she
wishes, that a husband can take
the name of his wife IL he sees fit,
or that both can change names
without resorting to the courts.
The opinion was given in a case
where a woman who was a notary
public married. She desired to
know If she could still serve as
notary public under the commits
sion granted her in her maiden
name. The attorney general held
that she could, but remarked that,
since she has now married, she
should drop the notary public
business and attend to her house
hold duties. The opinion follows:
"There is no statute on the sub
ject in this state of which 1 am
aware. If this matter rests upon
custom and the man has the right
to change his name if he wishes to
do so, / see not reason why the
husband could not be known by
one name and the wife by another.
'"This would probably bring on
their heads the criticism of So
ciety, but / do not know of any
rule of law that would be violated
by such conduct.

Springfield, and babe" Howell,

startled society circles of the city
by hurrying to the home of anoth-

married. Rev. Mr.. Wilder had just
preached his usual Sunday even
ing sermon. His young bride had
appeared in black-face vaudeville
in local theaters few weeks be-
fore.
Two months later Mrs. Wilder
suddenly left her husband and was
guarded In her home by her par
ents. She was not allowed to re-
ceive visitors or to talk to anyone.
Within another month, Rev. Mr..
Wilder resigned his pastorate and
accepted the charge at Daytona.
One year later the wife filed suit
for divorce in the Springfield
courts, alleging gross neglect of
duty.
Months passed and the suit was
not tried. Wilder filed suit in the
Florida courts, asking that the
marriage be annulled for the rea-
son that 1t was never consummat-
ed. He claimed that at the time
of the wedding his wife's parents
were greatly opposed to the union
and that he made secret agree

should live together for three
months as husband and wife. De
fore the three months had elapsed

grounds he hopes to- secure his
