She was Mr. Davis' second wife, hla first having been Mias Sarah Knox Taylor, daughter of Zachary Taylor. Jefferson Davis was elected to con gress In November of the same year, but resigned the following June to go to the Mexican war, from which he returned severely wounded. The cou ple spent the moat of their time In Washington from 1847 to 1**1, during which time Mr. Davis served two terms aa United States senator and one as secretary of war.

During the first year of Mr. Davis' Imprisonment his wife was not per mitted to be with him, but was per mitted to remain with him during the second year at Fortress Monroe. When this period of trouble was over the couple went to England, where they remained several years. Return ing to this country, they took up their residence at Memphis, where they con tinued to live until 1878, when they re- rfloved to Beauvoir Station, Miss., which place Mrs. Davis continued ever afterward to call her home.

Mrs. Davis wrote numerous crltlcltma and articles for newapapera anil magaslnes. She continued for some years at Beauvoir, but falling health and the remntenoss of the place from medical specialists forced her finally to give up the old home, living for a short time In Atlanta, Ga. but subsequently mov ing to New York city. Mrs. Davis, for reasons of health, lived In the North most of the time af ter the deatn of her husband. Her winters were passed In New York and her summers In New Englnnd or In western New York state, but she per mitted- no one to assume that her heart was not still In the Southland, although many of her strongest per sonal friendships were with Ni ROOSEVELT ORDERS TO NAME GUILTV Threatens to Discharge All wfio Fail to Make 1 Confession.

A bushel basket would hardly hold the telegrams of condolence received by Mrs. Dnvls Immediately after the death of Mias Winnie Davla, aa the "Daugh ter of the Confederacy," had become known to the public. These came from Confederate statesmen, ripe In years, of whom hut a handful nre left; from old soldiers who followed the Stare and Bara on many a bloody field; from the sons and even grandsons of Confeder ate veterans; from surviving represen tatives of the old aristocratic element of Southern society; from school chil dren. and quite n number of these mes sages were sent by old-time colored folk, once In slavery, but having lively and pleasant memories of the kindly ftersonnl Influence of Jefferson Davla and hla wife. The name of Jefferson Davis survives In his grandson, the eon of Mrs. Hayes, of Colorado Springs. In order that the nsme of her father might be perpet uated In her family. Mrs. Hayes se cured legislative sanction to the change of her son's nsme from Jefferson Davie Haves to Jefferson Davis. This was done with the consent of the son, and In accordance with the wish, generally expressed, by members of the Davie family and others who were greatly at tached to the late leader of the Con federacy. Wouldn’t Sell to Syndicate. For sentimental reasons Mrs. Davis refused 190,non for her beautiful Beau voir home from a Northern syndicate, and for sentimental reasons sold It for *10,0(10, with the understanding that it be used for a home for the old Con federate veterans. Mrs. Davis was consulted, and not withstanding the fact that *46,000 worth of buildings an* on the prop erty, she consented to sell It for $10,000, on the proviso that the estate should be considered ee a memorial of her late husband nnd retained forever In his memory. In an Interview last year Mrs. Davis said: "All of tny historical papers have been given to the Historical Society In New Orleans, so that the memoirs of Mr. Davis which 1 have written are there." Onp of the mbst curious contests ever before the public was conducted by many thousand persons under ‘the offer of the Postum Cereal Co.. Ltd., of Battle Creek, Mich., for prizes of 31 boxes of gold and *01) greenbacks to those making the most words out of the lettere Y-l-O-Orape-Nute. The contest was started In Febru ary, ISO*, and It was arranged to have the prizes awarded on April SO, loot. When the public announcement ap peared many persona began to form the words from these letters, sometimes the whole family being occupied even Ings, a combination of amusement and education. After a white the lists began to como In to the Postum office and before long the volume grew until It required wag ons to rarry the mall. Many of the contestants were thoughtless enough to send their lists with Insufficient postage and for a period U cost the company from twenty-five to fifty-eight and sixty dollars a day to pay the un paid postage. Young ladles, generally those who had graduated from the high school, were employed to examine these Hats and count the correct words. Web ster’s Dictionary was the standard and each list was very carefully corrected except those which fell below 8,001), for It soon became clear that nothing be low that could win. Some of the Data required the work of a young lady for a solid week on each Individual Hat. The work was done very carefully/and accurately, but the company hail no Idea, at the time the offer wna made, that ihe people would respond so gen erally and they were compelled to fill every available spare In. the offices with these yopng lady examiners, nnd not withstanding they worked steadily, It was Impossible to complete the exami nation until September 29, over six months nfter the prizes should have been awarded. This delay caused a great -many In quiries and naturally created some dis satisfaction. It lias been thought beat to make this report In practically all of the newspapers In the United States and many of the magazines In order to make clear to the people the condi tions of the contest. Many lists contained enormous num bers of words, which, under the rules, had to be eliminated. "Ppgger" would count, "Peggers" would not. Some lists contained over 50,090 words, the great majority of which were cut out. The est • lists were cheeked over two. In some eases, three times to In sure accuracy. The *100 gold prize was won by L D. Reese, 1227 Fifteenth street, Den ver, t.'olo w with *941 correct words. The highest *10 gold prize went to 8. K. Frazer, Lincoln, P., with 9921 correct words. A complete list of the 231 winners with their home addresses will be sent to any contestant enquiring on a postal ard. Be sure and give name and address clearly. This contest has cost the company many thousand dollars, .and probably has not been a profitable advertise ment, nevertheless perhaps some who had never before tried Grape Nuts food have been Interested In the contest, and from trial of the food have been shown Its wonderful rebuilding powers. It teaches In a practical manner that scientifically gathered food elements can be selected front the field grains, which nature will use for rebuilding the nerve centers and brain in a way that Is unmistakable to users of Grape- Nuts.

Later he stud ied Chartier shorthand under the au thor at the time It was Introduced In the Bliss College. In speaking of the relative merits of Chartier and Pitman shorthnnd, Mr. Hill says: 'Both the Bliss and the Central Bus iness Colleges subjected the Chartier system to a thorough test before adopt ing It and discarding the Pitman sys tem. The results obtained with the Chartier system In these Institutions hsve fully demonstrated Its great ad vantages over the old and more com plicated systems of shorthand. While teaching the Pitman system the aver- ,age time required to turn out a com petent stenographer was about six months, with the Chartier system the great majority of pupils are able to' hold responsible -positions In less than three months, while a large percent be come competent stenographers In six to eight weeks. “Not only can the system be learned In much less time, owing to Its great simplicity, but it has been found to possess much greater speed power than any of the old systems. Many Char tier students who have taken the sys tem In the last two years, are now do ing very successful court reporting: •I consider that Mr. Chartier has idered a great service to the com mercial world and especially to those who wish to prepare for the profession of shorthand.” Only the Best Worth While.

Lyon, of Wlldncod, Fla., has filed a null for *10,000 damages In the an terior court against the city for In- , urlee alleged to have been received by frilling over an embankment on Rrond street, where some street work as being donfe Every phase of ejectment from street cars seems of late to have be come the fact behind a suit against the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany. The genua In which the refusal of the conductor to accept a transfer, of which the time limit had expired, though the complainant claims to have caught the first car possible, forms the casus belli, has become almost com mon. But a batch on a new subject wns filed Wednesday. Three men, Robert and J. M. Burge nnd Ed B. Ticket!, brought suit for *1,000 each because, they say, the conductor refused to ac. cept a *5 gold piece when they wlehed to pay their fare. In their claims for vindictive damages they allege that It happened something* like this: • The three .boarded a car at the cor ner of Boulevard and Decatur streets. bound for the 'center of the city, on September 22. The emnllest money In the crowij was a flve-dollar gold plere. In the pocket of Robert purge. Thl» he offered In payment of the fare for the three, but the conductor abused them and put them off the car because they had no smaller piece of money. Also a little different from other transfer squabbles Is the case of W. A. Hunter, who'wants 15,000 from tha same source because, he says, the con ductor on an Orme street car refused to accept a transfer from the Forrest avenue car. and. besides putting him off the- car, struck him nnd came after him with a drawn pistol, threatening to "shoot hla heart out.” Ho says the conductor claimed that the transfer was presented at the wrong place, whereas In reality he had got on the car at the regular place for the trans fer, at Peachtree and Forsyth streets. . He aeke for damages on account of the pain from the conductor’s bio* and the scare caused by the pistol.
