Features of the Celebration.
On the birthday of George Washington
New Orleans Wednesday paid
tribute to the only President of the
Confederacy by unveiling a monument
to Jefferson Davis in the Parkway,
recently honored with his name.
The ceremony began at 2 o'cIock
with a parade of Confederate veterans,
national guards and Confederate
societies. A beautiful and picturesque
feature of the unveiling
was the formation of a living Con**

The honor of drawing the cords
which bared the shaft to the view of
the thousands wiio had gathered ior
the ceremony was given to Mrs. J. F.
Spearing, treasurer of the Jefferson
Davis Monument association which is
responsible for the tribute to the
Confederate leader.
The monument is of granite with
a bronze statue of Jefferson Davis
and represents one of the best efforts
of Edward Virginius Valentine,
it stands at the corner of Hagan avenue
and Canal street. The principal
address was delivered by C.on. Dennett
H. Young, of Louisville, who
said:
In addition to the popular subscriptions
collected in New Orleans, a
small surplus of the general Southern
fund raised for the Jefferson
Davis monument in Richmond which
was unveiled in 1907, was turned
over to the local monument association.
The statue is of heroic size, the
President of the Confederacy being
represented in a standing posture as
though he were addressing an audience.
The pedestal is made of selected
South Carolina granite and
measures 13 feet 9 inches square at
the base and has a height of 14 feet
2 inches. The statue cast of bronze
stands eight feet 8 inches high.
The large base under the die shows
the seal of the Confederacy made of
bronze, surrounded by a laureai
wreath. Directly underneath are two
elaborately carved palm branches

strength and peace and the upper
end of the die shows a row of 13
stars, the number of state represented
in the Confederacy.
"Jefferson Davis, misjudged in
life, and disfranchised until death, is
finding his true place in history," declared
Gen. Young. "As the voice
of reason speaks to the public heart
there are discovered many sad events
in the career of Jefferson Davis
which the nation regrets. The cruelties
inflicted upon him at Fortress
Monroe, the indignities heaped upon
him when his emaciated limbs were
manacled by force, the hardships visited
upon him in his long confinement,
all well thinking American citizens
would blot out if they could.
The impartial judgment of mankind
will fix the wrong of these things
where it belongs.
"These words were not spoken to
awaken a single question of prejudice
of ill will; they are only given
utterance to emphasize the duties of
the South to the memory of Mr.
Davis. In every Southern state there
cliniil/1 lin fit'of) nil a mnniimunl Iiic
memory. Mr. Davis suffered as no
other Confederate. His life was pure
and his career upright. His integrity
beyond suspicion and his patriotism
immeasurable. He became the
leader of his people over his personal
protest of unworthiness. He
assumed a task at which any human
being might hesitate. No responsibility
more stupendous was ever laid
on human heart; no burden so great
ever placed upon human shoulders.
Moved only by a sense of duty, mistakes
were inevitable.
"Twenty-two years have passed
since he died and the limelight of ins
history has only brightened every
spot in his pure, unsullied life. He
stood suffering, humiliation and imprisonment
for the South and he
bore in his heart and soul the deepest
anguish for his people. Now that
lie is gone and moil may review the
past and weigh and judge his life,
his conduct and his motive, slowly
but surely and irresis'ibly Jefferson
Davis is coming into his own. As he
stood for the South, the South will
stand for him and all that his life
and suffering Implied, and the South
will see that he shall he understood
and appreciated and that no shadow
shall darken his fame and that no
misrepresentation shall dim the
splendor of his character.
Happy Reunion.

WITH THE FUNNY MAN
Her Patriotic Protest.
The force of natural and instinctive
pride In one's country has been endlessly
expressed In literatures of all
times and climes, but raiely more dramatically
than in the following little
incident:

it has been the fashion of less
talented outsiders to underrate him.
One of the most indefatigable of uiese
detractors was the German compos* x
Bargiel, a man of an instinctively joa>
ous nature.
One day one of his pupils, a Norwegian
girl, brought for her lesson
concerto of Grieg's. Bargiei to ok it
from her with a smile of most superior
disdain.
"But I told you to bring your music,
and Grieg is no music," he said, scornfully.
"What! Grieg no music!" was the
indignant reply. "Adieu, Herr Professor!"
and she swept out of the studio
never to return.

Insuring His Honesty.
A shrewd old Vermont farmer came
into a lawyer's office the other day and
proceeded to relate the circumstances
In a matter about which he thought it
would be profitable to "go to law."
"You think I hev a good case?" he
finally asked.
"Very good, Indeed!" the lawyer assured
him. " You should certainly
bring suit."
"What would your fee he fer the
whole thing?" the old farmer said.
"Kilty dollars," was the prompt re
spouse.
The client pulled out an old wallet,
extracted a roll of bills and counted
out $50.
"Now," he said, "you hev got all you
would get out of this case anyhow; so
s'pose you tell me honestly just what
you think my chances of winnin' a
suit are?"

A little girl and her mother were
walking down the street, when they
came to a place where straw had been
spread over the pavement to deaden
the noise, because of the Illness of a
woman living in that square. "Oh,
look, mamma," cried tne little girl.
"What's all that hay doing out in the
street?"
"That's because Mrs. E. has a
tiny baby, which God just sent her,"
said her mother, gently, and arier a
moment's pause the little girl said
slowly.
"Gwacious, she must have been
packed well!"?Philadelphia Times.
Just in Time.
A German shoemaker left the gas
turned on in his shop one night, and
upon arriving in the morning struck a
match to light it. There was a terrific
expolsion, and the shoemaker was
blown out through the door almost to
the middle of the street.
A passer-by rushed to his assistance,
and, after helping him to arise, inquired
if he was injured.
The little German gazea at 11 is place

quite briskly, and said:

EVKN NEW YOKKKIIS "RUBHEIl."
Girl in "H*rem" Skirt Almost
Cause of Hiot.
Brooklyn Bridge broke its record
as a scene of dare deviltry Friday.
A suicide or professional juniper nev
er thrilled the throng of bridge
proinenaders more than did the appearance
of a dashing young blonde
011 the great bridge late in the afternoon.
She was attired in the new
"harem" skirt?the first of the millions
of New York women publicity
to venture the new affectation of
men's clothes, which has stirred continental
cities to riot. It nearly came
to that on the brid-e Friday.
Pedestrian traffic was blocked by
the crowds which collected in her
wake and followed her hold lead
right into newspaper row. PostofRce
square and down Broadway, finally
vanishing into the underground station
of the Hudson Tubes. ?
The boldest of newspaper reporters
fell down 011 the story, all balking
at the suggestion that some one inquire
the heroine's name. There
were few who even observed the detail
that she was a blonde, that her
eyes were blue and that she wore
a black fur coat. The focus of attention
was on the split skirt, a little
below the knees disclosing black
bloomer-like contrivances tightly
gathered up about the ankles.

ordered them into the car from the
rear platform. Special Agent J. N.

of the negroes during the fight. The
other negro jumped from the train
and made his escape. Conductor

street, Tell while ascending his stairway

his neck was broken, instant death
resulting from his fatal mishap. The
coroner held an inquest into his
death, which was found to h ive happened
according to the facts stated.
Mr. Drew was about forty-seven
years of age, and a widower. He lived
with his mother, and was by trade
a boilermaker. It is thought that he
was seized with apoplexy, and so lost
his balance as he was ascending a
stairway leading from the first to the
second floor of his residence. *

Talked to Them Straight.
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, gave
he Republicans in the Senate some
straight talk when the subsidy steal (
was under discussion in that body. <
In a forcible, biting speech against 1
he measure he advised the Senate 1
o adjourn and go home. "This con- (
?ress has been repudiated by the
\merican people, said Senator ?
Dwen, In a clear ringing voice, "and s
fet it continues in session in an t
effort to put through discredited
egislation like the ship subsidy hill, i
Phe people repudiated the party in e
)o\ver because of its advocacy of ship a
subsidy and other subsidies, and its f
subservience to the special interest." a
Phis speech grated on the sensibil- t
ties of such eminent trust advocates k
sii<1 defenders as Vice-President o
Iherman, Senators Lorimer, Depew, <1
Udrich, Lodge and others of that
lk, but they could not say a word in f
eply, as they knew Senator Owen d
vas telling the truth, and if they de- t
lied it, he would prove it by reading n
ho returns of the last election, when S

GOT BEST OF HIM
GIKL BRAVES PISTOL, WORSTS
A FRENZIED MAN.
(Jot in the Home and Tried to Shoot
Four Children, But Was Prevented
by Brave Damsel.
In a struggle with a frenzied man
during which a girl braved a magazine
pistol and was beaten about the
lace until she was all but unconscious,
she finally worsted her opponent
and by a remarkable display of
courage probably saved the lives of
four children.
The unequal fight occurred in the
parlor of the home of George Eichner,
on East Illinois street, in Chicago,
and Miss Emma Eichner, 18
years old, was the heroine. It began
the instant Robert Braun. who was
nursing fancied wrongs against Eichner,
knocked at the door early in
the evening and asked to be admitted.
"No, you'd better 01110 around tomorrow,"
said the girl.
"I'm here now and I'm here to
stay," exclaimed Braun, pulling the
magazine pistol from his pocket and
forcing his way into the hallway. I
Miss Eichner seized his arms and
with all her strength tried to push ,
the intruder back. Together they
struggled until reaching the parlor J
door Braun noticed the four children, j
Then he leveled the pistol at the
children, who huddled under a Dav- '
enport in a corner, and was about to
fire. But the girl released her grip
011 his other arm and with both
hands forced the muzzle of the weapon
toward the ceiling as Braun began
firing.
Finally the gun clogged and while
he was exam inning it Miss Eichner J
leaped upon Braun, pushed him out
of the front door and closed and
locked it.
MUST CUT RATES.
1 m porta n Order Issued About
Freight Charges.
Defendant Railways Must Establish
and Maintain Rates From Charleston
Not Exceeding Baltimore's.
In a decision handed down Thursday
at Washington by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the freight
rates on vegetables from the Charleston,
S. C., district to Buffalo, New
York and Pittsburg, Pa., are found
to be unreasonable to the extent that
they exceed the combination of rates
to Baltimore, Md. The decision was
reached in the case of the National
League of Commission Merchants of
the United States against the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad and other
carriers.
The defendant lines are ordered
to establish before April 15 and
maintain in force for at least two
years, rates on vegetables from Charleston
to Buffalo and Pittsburg which
shall not exceed the combination
rates on Baltimore, and it is ordered
tiiat the rates 011 vegetables from the
below named points to Buffalo and
Pittsburg shall not exceed the following
differentials in cases per 100
pounds over contemporaneous rates
from Charleston to the same points, j
From Meggotts, Wadmalaw river j
and Young's Island, S. C. on potatoes'
2 cenbs; cabbage, 2.5 cents, and on
vegetables not otherwise specified, Sj
cents; from St. Andrews, S. C., Pii |
potatoes, 2 cents; on cabbages, 2.5
"eats, and on vegetables not otherwise
specified, -1 cents. Those rates!
will, no doubt, be applied to points
in this countv where vegetables are
i
?rown for market. Our folks should
have the same rates that other truck
growers enjoy.
