THE VETS AND pRYs.
They Have n Very Lively Debate in
Masonic Temple.

Masonic Temple.
The "Wots" and the "Drys' were out in
force last night at Masonic Temple in re-
sponse to q call for meeting by the Anti
Prohibitionists. Many prominent people
were present, and the discussion, pro-
hibition and anti-prohibition, was one Of
the most interesting yet experienced in
Washington. At times the confusion was
so great that 1t was impossible to tell
what was going on.
At the outset the Vets had the floor,
and the remarks of Mr.. Gallus Thoman
Of New York, who disputed the accuracy
of Colonel Switzlers statistics on the
liquor traffic; Hon. A. G. Caruth of Ken
lucky, and Hon. w. II. Grain of Texas,
took the anti-Drys by storm. Frequently
thespeakers were interrupted by questions
from the temperance element and in
most cases reply would be made that re-
suited in peal OF laughter at the expense
of the questioner. However, the temper
ance fellows were not discouraged.
Before the meeting adjourned the
VETS came to the conclusion that a hor-
nets nest had been disturbed, and, when
resolution was offered by Mr. @. ID.
Baldwin, asking that Congress be urged
to pass bill appointing q committee to
examine into the liquor traffic, the nose
from the opposition was SO great that the
chairman decided TO adjourn the meeting,
which was done. Before the adjourn
nent Mr.. Simon Wolf spoke in favor OF
the liquor traffic, but the crowd had so
thinned out that not more than twenty
people were IN the hall to hear him.

Ex-senator Jones of FLORIDA.

AT the meeting of the Detroit bar, held
Monday last, to take action on the death
of Chief Justice Waite, after several had
spoken, ex-senator Charles W. Jones of
Florida arose, and amid the most pro-
found silence spoke at some little length,
quence Of his manner as much as his
words, in view of the sensational reports
about the ex-senator being Off his mental
balance. His address is certain to attract
considerable attention. 1t was noticed
that his personal appearance was consid-
erably improved, and the shabby gentility
was almost forgotten. AS he proceeded
he made his hearers half inclined 10 be-
lieve the ex-Senator's declaration that
he was the victim of political con-
spiracy

Miss FcIlows's Husband.

The report that Miss Cora Fellows has
been married at Fort Bennett, OAK, has
been verified. But Miss Fellows's father
says that the man she married is named
Campbell, that he is farmer in Nebraska,
and is stationed at Fort Bennett, and that
he is not an Indian, although he con-
fesses to some red mems blood in his
veins. He is not the worthless vagabond
previously described, but man Of prop
erty and education. Regarding the name
"Chaska," which was formerly given him,
one who is versed in Indian usages says
that among the Sioux the first born son is
known as 'chaska." Campbell is
doubtless the first son Of o man who mar
ried an Indian woman.

Origin and Motive of the Senator's Con-

Origin and Motive of the Senator's Con-
fcderate Soldier Bill.
The bill introduced in the Senate about
n week ago by Senator Blair TO give ex-
Confederates the preference in the matter
of appointments to Government positions,
and which has caused considerable com
ment throughout the country, has n
little history behind it that is interesting.
Last evening The Critic reporter,
while strolling around the lobby Of the
National Hotel, met gentleman, who
said to the reporter: "Do you want a
piece Of news2 Well, get out your equip
ments and / will tell you something
about the Blair Confederate Soldier Bill.
To begin with, let me state that Senator
Blair has q large heart and an irrepressi-
BILE nature. Most any one can arouse his
sympathies. Now that l have described
his disposition / will proceed with my
story;
duction OF the peace-offering bill'
Senator Blair met an ex.Coniederate
Colonel at the corner of Sixth and Penn
sy1vania avenue. The ex-colonel was
minus leg and perambulated around on
pair of crutches that had seen better
days. His clothes were somewhat worn,
but had the, appearance Of being well
Va
was Just wee bit moth eaten, and, taking
the ex-Colonel all in all, he was gentle
man every inch of him, though some
what rusty. He had the easy grace of
Virgininn and voice that at once cap
tured his hearers.
Il am not positive but my impression
is the ex.Coloncl had met the Senator be-
fore. Well, on the day of which speak
the Senator and ex-Colonel stood on the
corner for some little time holding an an
imated conversation. 1 overheard part of
1t. The ex-Colonel was telling of his
trials and tribulations and OF his utter
failure to get an office. He lamentod the
TACT that under Republican administra-
tons the ex.Confederates Jared consider
ably better than they do now in the mat
ter OF obtaining appointments, and that
being manned as he was it made IL almost
impossible for him to earn livelihood. He
then expatiated on the sufferings of the
old Confederate veterans, and so worked
on the Senators feelings that II became
absolutely necessary for the Senator to
nse his handkerchief,
I'm TRUTH" continued the gentleman,

Senator proftered the Colonel some sub
stantial aid, but the aid was politely de.
clined with the remark that il the Sena-
tor would use his influence, perhaps he
1.-THE ColoneD might secure watohman's $
position in one of the Departments.
After the conversation ended, and the
Senator had wended his way home, it
was noticed by all who saw him that the
Senator was troubled. His heart had
been touched, and that night at midnight
he exclaimed, Eureka and the next day
he introduced his now famous peace Of
fering.' He had discovered a means to
aid the old veteran Confederates who are
debarred from appointment by the civil
service law. Senator Blair never saw any
one about his bill. II was the Colonel's
story that suggested it,p

Delaware colleges New President.

AT the annual meeting of the trustees
of the Delaware College, held at New
ark Tuesday, the retiring president of the
institution, j. II. Caldwell, criticised the
manner in which the trustees conducted
the college. There are two factions
among them. One favors classical edu-
intended for the latter course of studies
Mr.. Caldwell alleged, was diverted to the
former. DR.. Lewis Stump was elected
president of the college, without salary,
Mt his own request. Professor G. s. Con-
well of the Wilmington Conference
Academy, was selected successor to

Georgia's Local option Law.

Judge Pardee of the United States Cir

at Atlanta in case in which the consti-

prohibition law in Georgia was in ques-
ton. The court held that the law in its
the constitution of the United States. 1t
appears, however, that n clause in the
Georgia enactment permitted the sale of
wines made in the State from grapes
grown in the State, while wines made in
other States were not allowed to be sold
The court ruled that a State law should
not declare exceptions and prohibitions
to the disadvantage of products of an
other State, In order0 to make the law
stand, the Objectionable exceptions must

More Counterfeit Eives.

Large numbers of counterfeit five-dol-
lar silver notes were discovered in circu-
lation in Chicago last week. They are
well executed, and several banks were
imposed upon. The most obvious details
are these: The scroll work surrounding
the big V is badly done; the ruling OF the
stamped paper IS crude, ending abruptly,
instead Of running into the paper gently,
and the portrait lacks life-like express
sion. In the genuine bill key on the
seal has notch shaped like letter 4,
whereas in the counterfeit it is straight,
