THE confederate SEAL.
Proposed Sale of Relic Brings State.
ment From Former Alexandria
Lady.

Mrs. Ada Penn Brookes, widow of
VIM. Penn Brooks, of Norfolk, was in
the city on Saturday and met num-
Der of her friends and acquaintance
of earlier years. Mrs. Brookes is
daughter of the late Walter L. Penn,
who in foregone days was superintend
ent of police of Alexandria, and
prominent politicians. During thecivil
war and reconstruction days which
followed the close of that conflict he
took prominent part in local politics.
He died in the latter part of March
1885. Previous to his death he had
filled a position in the internal reve-
nue. department.
Mrs. Brookes was married in 1860,
after which she removed with her
husband to Norfolk, where she has
since resided. She, like others who
were in that city during the outbreak
of the civil war, passed through try
ing experiences. She says that the
flag of the late Southern Confederacy
was about to be furled two young men
soldiers in the Confederate army
gave her an impression of the seal of
the Confederacy, and when she asked
them to give her the seal, they told
her that they had imperative orders
from the secretary of state, to cast
it into the middle of Chesapeake Bay.
They were then on their way to car
ry out orders which she has every
reason to believe they obeycd. The
soldiers told Mrs Brookes to keep the
impression which they gave her as
memento of the Confederate States.
1t was made on piece of note paper
which was manufactured in the south.
A few days ago Mrs. Brookes read
in the paper that what is alleged to
be the seal of the Confederacy is abb
out to be purchased for S27 900, which
brought to mind the incident describ-
ed above.
She had carefully preserved the i'm
preston of the seal and will present
it to r. z. Lee Camp of Confederate
| veterans, who will place it in their
museum.
There seems to be several claimants
to the original seal of the Confederacy
A negro, it will be remembered stat
ed recently that President Davis gave
him the seal as the President of the
Confederacy was preparing to leave
Richmond after the surrender OF Cen
eral Robert Z. Lee.
