MRS. ELIZABETH BACON CUSTER, WIDOW OF THE HERO

made of conch shell which belonged
TO Gen. Washington and presented by one
Of the Washingtons to Gen. Custer during
the civil war, the first Confederate flag

ed later In the strife.
There are a few details about these
articles. which / have just placed in
the glass case assigned to Gen. Gus
ter" said Mrs. Custer. which the his
torians of the civil war have not
chronicled. The table on which the
terms of the surrender Of Gen. Lee to
Gen. Grant was written was sent to me
directly after the negotiations In the
ended. Therefore. there can be no mis-
take as to its identity.
There has been the usual contro-
versy about this table. and historians
have disagreed. But I have q copy Of
the letter written by Gen. Sheridan
presenting me with this treasure. dated
April 10. 1865. Afterward In paper
read in 1888 before the Illinois Com
mandery of the Loyal Legion. Gen.
Sheridan describes the table. little.

the handicapped table on which Gen.
Lee signed from the controversy. Gen.
dams letter to me and his later de-
scription of his gift After giving an
amusing description of the rush for
relics which followed the exit of prin
cipal actors in this momentous ma
t.onal drama, Gen. Porter says: 'Sheri-
dan paid the proprietor $50 In gold for
the table on which Gen. Grant wrote
the terms of the surrender. for the
purpose of presenting 1t to Mrs. Gus
ter. and handed 1t over to her dashing

Insufficiently Described.

A WOMAN had lost hangbag After
Odyssean wanderings from one Of
fical to another, she was ushered into
the janitors office.
'I was told" she began, that a bag
found upstairs was turned in to you. Is
1t here?'
Il amt saytn' 1t Is" said he. AN 7
amt sayin' 1t amt. What kind Of bag
did you loser
Since the handbag had been only one
of million black bags sold in all de-
partment stores for a dollar and pos
sessed no special marks of Identification,
the woman waived a description OF is
exterior and plunged straightway into
an enumeration of its contents. There
We're handbook, purse containing the
losers name and address and money. a
sample of silk, keys and a bunch of en-
velopes.
He put her through a catechism that
compelled repeated descriptions of the
lost treasures and at the end he said:
IT can't see my way clear to let you
have that bag. I can't see as you've es-
tablished your right to it."
In desperation the woman appealed to
the superintendent of the building The
janitor stood stolidly by. Said the SUPER
intendent:

though there are long cases filled with
articles worn by other heroes, few women
of their families have taken the pride and
personal superintendent of their display
that Mrs. Custer has shown. She spent
nearly forth ght here arranging her re-
cent additions to the many articles which
she had already presented. She has la
bored indefatigably to establish the right
eousness Of her claim to the famous table
of AppomattoX, and for all who regard
history as scientific demonstration she
has made her point. With the table she
gives the letter of Gen. Sheridan-a let
ter which she says was a treasure which
Gen. Custer priced above rubies. His de-
votion to Sheridan is we'll known and has
been amply demonstrated by history. The
letter in which Little Phil gave the table
to the bride of his beloved officer, Gen.
Custer, was kept by him always in an old
worn wallet, until 1t was yellow. heavily
creased and so faded as to be almost
obliterated. Mrs. Custer said that she
always knew when her husband thought
we'll of a person and wished to show the
deepest mark of his friendship. He reach
ed into his pocket and drew out the Sheri-
dan letter.
Though SO young and graceful for her
years, almost defying the ravages of
time, Mrs. Custer has never been photo
graphed since her bereavement. The last
his brother Tom. In this she resembles
Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, another woman
living hopefully and cheerfully to join the
better part of her life gone before. Mrs.
Jackson's photograph was found next to
her husbands heart after his death and
that and copies Of 1t are the only ones in
existence.

and the other south. Among my hus-
bands classmates in 81 was j. b. Wash
ington, the grandson of one of Washing
tons brothers, and the two were chosen
comrades and when young Washington
as a lieutenant in the Confederate army
was captured. my husband obtained leave
to have him his guest until the ex-
change of prisoners was made. When
my husband was campaigning near the
old Washington home in the Shenandoah
valley an old negro came to him with
Mrs Washington's compliments and the
request to visit her home. She enter
tanned my husband we'll, though it was
obviously effort and for the sake of
her son. In parting she gave him a but
ton which had adorned a coat belonging
to Gen. Washington and we had 1t
mounted in gold and 1t was long in use as
q brooch.
But fearing to lose 1t. I have now
placed 1t among the other Custer relics.
The flag tells it's own story. 1t was cap
tured shortly after the war began and
bears the Virginia motto. Sic Semper
Tyrannis.' The sword was the trophy
of Maj. Drew on my husbands staff and
was presented because 1t was Of such
great size and required such strength that
he said no other arm could WELD it. This
sword Is of the famous Toledo steel and
bears the motto cut into the blade in
Spanish, Do not draw me without cause.
Do not sheathe me without honor
Mrs Custer is a charming, graceful wom
an, so young in appearance, so bright and
sunny In temperament. that 1t seems I'm
possible to associate her with sorrow. A
native of Monroe, Mich. she married
George Armstrong Custer when she was
less than twenty She shared all the prf-
vations of life on the plains and her life
is as thrilling as tale Of romance. She
lost her husband twelve years after their
marriage. in 1864 She wrote history of.
his life, and for this alone she would de-
serve well of all future American his
torians. not to mention the benefit to the
present generation in seeing this dashing,
heroic figure at close range. Through .ars

eight miles from the boundary line Of
the District of Columbia, where he en-
camped after defeating and driving off
the enemy.
We moved at daylight July IL, Nc
Causland on the Georgetown pike. while
the infantry, preceded by Imboden's cav
airy under Col. Smith, turned to the left
at Rockville, so as to reach the 7th
street pike, which runs by Silver Spring
into Washington. Jackson's cavalry
moved on the left flank
The previous day had been very warm
and the roads were exceedingly dusty,
as there had been no rain for several
weeks. The heat during the night had
been very oppressive. and but little
rest had been obtained. This day was
an exceedingly hot one, and there was
no air stirring. While marching the
men were enveloped in a suffocating
cloud of dust, and many of them fell
from exhaustion. Our progress was
therefore very much impeded, but 1
pushed on as rapidly as possible, hoping
to get into the Notifications around
Washington before they could be manned
Smith drove a small body of cav
before him into the works on the 7th
street pike. and dismounted his men and
deployed them as skirnishers. I rode
ahead of the infantry, and arrived in
sight of Fort Stevens on this road a short
time after noon, when I discovered that
the works were but feebly manned.
Rodes, whose division was in front. was
ely ordered to bring II into line
as rapidly as possible, throw out skir-
mishers and move into the works IL he
could. My whole column was then NOV
ing by flank, which was the only prac-
ticable mode of marching on the road we
were on, and before Rodes division could
be brought up We saw a cloud of dust in
the rear of the works toward Washington,
and soon a column Of the enemy filed
into them on the right and left and
were thrown out in front.
while an artillery fire was opened on US
from a number of batteries. This de-
feated our hopes OF getting possession Of
the works by surprise, and 1t became
necessary to reconnoiter.
Rodes' skirmishers were thrown to the
front. driving those Of the enemy to the
cover Of the works. and we proceeded to
examine the Notifications in order to as
certain II 1t was practicable to carry them
