THE SAVING OF MOUNT VERNON (Continued from Page Two.) that I believed all the ladies felt as I did. "Unawares, I had at last touched the 'sore spot'?the obstacle no money could have removed. I now found that he believed the whole thing had been arranged between the assodla tlon and Virginia to put an indignity on him. I then told him if he would consent to overcome minor objections that I would prove to the country the position of the association by going before the next Legislature and ask ing it to make any change he required but he must let the association pay the money, and not feel his State or himself were lowered by the act. 'I held out my hand, he put his in mine; tie 11, with quivering lips, moist eyes, and a heart too full to speak, our compact v>as closed in silonco'." It was at this time that her suffer ings were so acute as to compel her to travel lying prone on an air bed. But still she kept to her work. - In 1857 the ??harter allowing the Ladles' Mount Vcrnon Association to take charge of Mount Vcrnon for till time was introduced in the Virginia Legis lature, in language that met Mr. Washington's wishes. In spite of Ann Cunningham's heroic work it was beaten, but in the early part of 1858 the bill granting the charter was pass ed and made a law. Here is what she wrote to a friend In description of the Immediate sequel of ihat legislation: "Bui the wear and tear of the last j struggle bad been too much for me, and on the day appointed by Mr. j Washington for the lawyers and the two vice regents to meet and witness I the signing of the papers in my room I awoke with a struggle for breath j ami passed from one convulsion to 'another for hours. The friends were) horrified for fear that I should die be fore all was Blgnod. "After the lawyers bad waited a long time and even offered to postpone and leave my system was clamed. One of their number was sent to see if 1 was of sound mind! All the papers were read in due form, and then a gentleman knelt beside my couch and held the papers for my .signature; my lifeless lingers could hold a pen but a few moments, could only make two or three letters at a time. Finally all was got through with and the papers with my fearful scrawl carried to the archives of the State. I was in a mental stupor for three weeks! Has not Mount Vcrnon been bought with a price?" I All the purchase money was paid in by February 22, 1859, and only two years intervened between that time and tho outbreak of the civil war. Formal possession of the homo and Its surrounding grounds was taken by the Ladies' Association, February 22, ISGO, but prior to that repairs had been be gun on the buildings. In fact. Miss Cunningham, having accomplished the purchase of the sacred spot, found her self confronted with the necessity of repairing the place and of restoring it to what it had been when Washing ton lived in it. For this additional funds had to be raised, fairs were given, money was collected, and in several instances the vice regents gave liberally of their own money. The repairs were hard ly under way when the war broke. Ai that time Miss Cunningham was on her inothor's plantation in South Carolina. Her first thought was for the preservation of Washington's home 1 and it was due to her intercession that all through the bitter struggle the ; men of the South ami the men of the North not only kept .Mount Vernon I inviolate, but often stacked their arms at its gales, ami entering the grounds together, stood in peace before this lather's last resting place. Through it all Hier.? were intervals of more than a year when she could no' even hear what was going oil a: the scone of what she had saved- she maintain ed her optimism and her determina tion to m ike Mount Vernon a lasting beauty for the nation, News hd 1)1 KI) SUDDENLY.
