She was edu cated at a boarding school In Philadel phia and by private teachers at home. Her marriage to Jefferson Davis, then resident of Warren County, Mlsa. took place February 25, 1845. She wae Mr. Davla' second wife, his first having been Miss Sarah Knox Taylor, daughter of Zachary Taylor. Jefferson Davis was elected to con grese In November of the same year, but realgned the following June to go to the Mexican war, from which be returned severely wounded. The coQ- ple spent the most of their time Washington from .1847 to 1881, during which time Mr. Davie served two terme as United States senator and one as secretary of war. During the four years Mr. Davla was president of the Confederacy, Mrs. Davis lived In Richmond. Parted By War’* Fortunes. The anxious mistress for four long years of the chief home In a be leaguered capital, the fall of Richmond parted her from her husband, whom she was to meet again In her wander ings through the Southern forests, only to be parted from him after a few days, he to be sent to prison and she to shift for herself and her children as beet she could, ngreebly to the llml lations set upon her every movement by the conquering troops. 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 moved to Beauvoir Station, Miss., which place Mrs. Davis continued ever afterward to call her home. < Wae Huiband’e Amanuensis. Mrs. Davis acted as her husband'* amanuensis when he wrote his "Decline and Fall of the Confederate Govern ment." After her husband.'* death, which occurred In 1889, Mrs. Davis wrote numerous criticisms and articles for newspapers and magaxlnes. She continued for eome years Beauvoir, but falling health and the remoteness of the place from medical specialists forced her finally to give up the old home, living Mr a ehort time In Atlanta, Ga, but subsequently mov ing to New York city. Mr*. Davie, for reasons of health, lived In the North most of the time af ter the death of her husband.

Jefferson Davis, Jr., who died several years ago, greatly resembled hie father. HI* death was followed by that of Mies Winnie Davla. Name of Davla Survives. A bushel basket would hardly hold the telegram* of condolence received by Mrs. Davla 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 but a handful are left: from old eoldlera who followed the Btara anil 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 personal Influence of Jefferson Davis and hi* wife. The name of Jefferson Davla survives In hla grandson, the eon of Mrs. Hayes, of Colorado Springs. In order that the name of her father might be perpet uated tn her family. Mrs. Hayes se cured legislative sanction to the change of her eon's name from Jeffersoix Davla Kaye* to Jefferson Davis.

For sentimental reasons Mrs. Davla refused 180,000 for her beautiful Beau voir home from a Northern syndicate, and for sentimental reasons sold It Mr $10,000, with tha understanding that It be used for a home for the old Con federate veterans Mrs. Davla was consulted, and not withstanding the fact that 845,000 worth of buildings are on the prop erty, she consented to sell It for 110,000, on the proviso that the eatate should be considered aa a memorial of her late husband and, retained forever In hla memory. In an Interview last year Mrs. Davis said: "All of my historical papers have been given to the Historical Society tn New Orleans, so that the memolra of Mr. Duvls which I have written are there." ROOSEVELT ORDERS TO NAME GUILTY Threatens to Discharge All Who Fail to Make Confession. El Reno, Okla., Oct. 17.—It became known today that E. A. Oarllngton, Inspector general of the United States, read an order from President Rooae velt several days ago to the battalion of the Twenty.fifth regiment Infantry (colored), stating that the battalion must tell the names of the men In the recent Brownsville, Texas, disturbances or be dishonorably discharged.

One of the moat Curious contest ever before the public was conducts by many thousand persons under the offer of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., of Battle Creek, Mich., for prises of 31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks to those making the moat words out of the tetters Y-I-O-Orape-Nuts. The contest was started In Febru ary, 1808. and U was arranged to have the prises awarded on April 30, 1808: When the public announcement ap peared many persona began to form the words from thtae letters, sometimes the whole family being occupied even- Ingu, a combination of amusement and education. After a while the lists began to coma In to the Postum office and before long the volume grew until It required wag on a to carry the mall. Many of the contestants were thoughtless enough to send their Beta with Insufficient poatage and for a period It 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 wa* very carefully corrected except those which fell below 8,000, for It soon became clear that nothing be low that could win. Rome of the lists required the work of a young lady for a solid week on each Individual list. The work wa* done very carefully nnd accurately, but the company had no Idea, at the time the offer was made, that the people would respond so gen erally anil they were compelled to fill ever)- available space In the offices with these young lady examiners, and not withstanding they worked steadily. It wae Impossible to complete the exami nation until September 29. over six months after the prlxea should have been awarded. This delay caused a great many In quiries and naturally created some dis satisfaction. It hns been thought best tq make this report tn practically all of the newspapers In the United States and many of the magaxlnes In order tn make clear to the people the condi tions of the contest. Many Bats contained enormous num ber* of word*, which, under the rules, had to be eliminated. "Pegger" would count, “Peggers" would not. Home lists contained over 60,000 word*, the great majority of which were cut out. The largest llsta were checked over two, and In some cases, three times to In sure accuracy. The 8100 gold prise was won by L. D. Reese, 1237 Fifteenth street, Den ver, Colo., with 8841 correct word*. The highest $10 gold prise went to S. K. Fraser, Lincoln, P., with 8821 correct words. complete list of the 331 winners with their home addresses will be sent to any conteatant enquiring on a postal card. Be sure and give name and address clearly. Thle contest has cost the company many thousand dollars, and probably haa 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 from 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. ■There's a reason."

The Georgian correspondent la oble to state without qualification that Poatmaater General Cortelyou will be transferred to the treasury. Perhaps George Von L.

PROFESSOR Hill HEADS SHORTHAND DEPARTMENT BAGWELL DUSINESS COLLEG Unprecedented Growth of Business Makes It Necessary To Enlarge Faculty at Popular Institution. Professor C. O. HIM. of Indlannpolls, Ind., ha* Just arrived In the city to take charge of the shorthand depart ment of Bagwell's Business College and School of Shorthand. Professor Hill hns had a wide ex perience as a literary and commercial teacher, having taught In some of the leading business colleges of the United States. He Is an expert accountant, penman, shorthand writer nnd teacher. He ts n graduate of the Trt-Statc Nor ma! College. In,liana, and the n >ted Bliss Business College, of Columbus. Ohio, from which school Jte holds the degree of bachelor of commercial science. Mr. Hill was for some time principal of the shorthand department of the Bliss Business College, which Is the leadlnr commercial school of the North, and Is admitted to be the most ex pensively equipped business coilego In the United States. During the past two years he has had charge of the short hand department of the Central Busi ness College, Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. HIM Is master of the art of In structing to a remarkable degree. .He Is able to arouse the keenest Interest and enthusiasm In hie pupils. He get* reaulta, and gets them quickly. Chertier vs. Graham. Mr. Hill taught Pitman shorthand for a number of years. Later he stud ied Chartler shorthand under the au thor at tho time It was Introduced In the Bliss College. In speaking of the relative merits of Chartler and Pitman shorthand, Mr. HIM rays: Both the Bllas and the Central Bus iness Colleges subjected the Chartler system to a thorough teat befbre adopt ing It and discarding the Pitman sys tem. The results obtained with the Chartler system In these Institutions have 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 Chartler 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 leas time, owing to Its great simplicity, but It has been found to possess much greater speed power than any of the old system*. Many Char tler students who have taken the sys tem In the last two years are now do ing very successful court Reporting. •i consider that Mr. Chartler has rendered a great service to the com mercial world and especially to those who with to prepare for the profession of shorthand. Only the Bsst Worth While. Bagwell's Business College Is to be congratulated upon securing the ser vices of Mr, HIM. This addition to the faculty Is only another evidence of the enterprise of the president of the school and of his determination to place at the service of his patrons the very best talent and equipment that can be secured. It will be remembered that only a few weeks agd. Mr. B. J. Fer guson. for the past two years professor of business science at the North Geor gia Agricultural College, was employed to take charge of the business depart ment of this Institution. PROFESSOR C. O. HILL, Formerly of Central Business Col lege, Indianapolis, Ind., who it now head of Shorthand Department Bagwell’s Business College. I The bane of business colleges In the South has been cheap and Incompetent teachers. The motto of Bagwell's Bus iness College Is: "ONLY THE BEST 18 WORTH WHILE." Although the school has been In op eration only a few month*. It ha* en rolled something more than one hun dred ,pupils, a number of (thorn have completed their courses In from six to eight weeks, and arc now holding re sponsible and lucrative positions. The school will furnish the names and addresses of these students to any one who may be Interested. The remarkable growth of this school la due to the fact that It does not de pend for its success upon extravagant claims and ability tn advertise, but upon the Intrinsic worth and merit of the work It Is able to do. The object of the school Is to give a business training that fits for business In the shortest possible time and at the least expense. All who wish to take a business course are cordially Invited to visit the school nnd learn what It can do for them. • 198 Peachtree street, Atlanta, Ga. REFUSED A GOLD PIECE; SUIT BROUGHT FOR $3,000 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 genus 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, terms the casus belli, has become almost com mon. But a batch on a new subject was filed Wednesday. Three men, Robert and J. M. Burge and Ed B. Tlckell, brought suit for 81,000 each because, they say, the conductor refused to ac cept a 85 gold piece when they wished to pay their fare. In their claims for vindictive damages they allege that It happened something like this: 1 The three boarded a car at the cor ner of Boulevard and, Decatur streets. bound for the center of the city, »n September 22. Tho smallest money In the crowd was a flve-dollar gold piece. In the pocket of Robert Burge. This he offered In payment of the fare for the three, hut 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 15,040 from the 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 hint and came after him with n drawn pistol, threatening to "shoot his heart out." He 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 nnd Forsyth streets. He asks for damages on account of the pnln from the conductor's blow and the scare caused by the pistol. ■portal to Tbe Columbus. Oa., OcL 17.—Rev. W. L.
