Confederate Home,

The managers of the Confederate home
are obliged to use the utmost economy, as
the funds are short. They found it abso-
lutely necessary that they should dispense
with a matron, ard they now employ no
one, except a cook. Miss Minnie Gray
has been the matron for some months
and has performed her delicate and labo-
rious duties faithfully and efficiently.
The work of the management and look
ing after the Home, from the first of this
month, has been confded to the inmates,
certain ones among them being charged
with different responsibilities. The exc
cutive committee and the board of direc-
tors will, of necessity, be required to give
it their close personal attention, and II
comes hard on them as they serve with
out pay, and give much of their time in
seeing to the general and special conduct
of the Home. 1t is conducted at less ex-
pense than any other known charitable in
stitution, and the board of directors anc
executive committee deserve the gratitude
of the people. There are now thirty de,
crepit and MANNED ex-Confederates in thu
Home.

Saunders, Reilly, G. Brown and s. Kreisle

had to be repeated. A recitation by Mr.
1. Melasky, piano solo by Miss G. Brown

The zouaves' Matinee.

The following is the presentation adj
dress delivered by Miss Sallie Mather, the
daughter of the company, in presenting
the flag to the StoddaTd zouaves on the
afternoon of May 2:
StoddaTd Zouaves, Officers and Soldiers-Accept
from me, on behalf of your admirers, this emblem
of on countrys glory. May you always honor and
revere IT, and tender your lives protect and de-
fend it. Young in years, yet the patriotic Srdor
that 8nlmates ycu gives assurance that should our
country need defenders, you will be found at the
front, doing your duty az Americans.
In committing this flag to your keeping, l do SO
with full confidence that it is entrusted to safe
hands, and the sincere wish that the blighting and
desolating hand of war may never again be laid
upon our fair land but if strife should arise, may
its stars prove euerdon of victory ard cheer you
on to deeds of valoT and herOism, unsmirched by
any act that might tarnish your names as gentle
men, soldiers and patriots
The very pretty and becoming uni
forms of the Stoddard Zouaves were made
by Miss Cannie Thompson, who deserves
unstinted praise for her work of taste and
usefulness. DR.. Stoddard, on behalf of
the company, tenders his thanks TO Mrs.
Gilbert and the young ladies and gentle
men who so kindly volunteered and rem
dered their valuable services on the occas-
sion of the Zouave matine.

Dangerously Injured.

The little boy of Thos. Fl. Wheeless
wandered from home yesterday morning,
and while standing on the street, about a
block from home, was run over by an ice
wagon, iptiicting severe and dangerous
injuries on the head. Doctors Matthews,
Cummings, Graves and Wooten arrived as
quickly as possible. The little boys
skull was fractured a little above and be-
hind the ear. The doctors took out
several pieces of the fractured skull, also
portion of the brain. At last accounts
the child was resting easy. Mr.. Wheeless,
who was at Giddings on legal business,
was telephoned to, and returned on the
Central train last evening.
Mrs. Malone, mother of Mrs. Wheeless
also came up on last evenings train.
Naturally there would seem to be but lit
tie hope of the child's recovery, espec-
tally on account of the danger of milan
nation, but the parents will certainly have
the prayers of hosts of friends in their
behalf. The driver of the wagon will
probably be arrested as soon as he is
identified.

recently on the question whether the

affirmative proved The strongest. The

literary part of the programme consisting
of a debate and recitations.

Hotel Accommodations.

1t will be impossible for pre-
prietors of hotels, boarding houses,
etc., TO give to their guests as
go ID accommodations during the week of
the drill and dedication as on ordinary
occasions, hence, there is no excuse for
them charging increased rates, and they
certainly should not do so.

He Describes His Visit to Countries Across
the Water.
CHICAGO, September 19.-In conversation
with reporter about his trip abroad, Judge
Gresham said: "During my absence I Wis.
tied England, France, Belgium, Germany,
Switzerland and the north of Italy. liked
the Germans better than the other people
fell in with. found them to be sincere,
hospitable, good hearted people, entirely free
from pretence. They were easy to get
acquainted with, and inspired one with con-
fdence." Concerning France, he said:
'1t is manifest to any casual observer
that there is great irritability on the part of
the French people toward Germany. The
young emperor seems to take pleasure in
announcing that he is willing to fight, but
the Germans are cool, and William Second
is surrounded by conservative influences.
Germany does not want war and will not
fight unless France forces the issue. The
war spirit pervades all classes in France,
the higher as we'll as the lower. / talked
with great many Frenchmen who declared
their country would be great deal better
off with a stronger government. They have
no confidence in the republic, and desire the
restoration of the empire. Boulauger COM
mands no respect from the sensible men of
France, for he is vain and frothy without
much ability, but he appears to have the
majority with him." The judge declined to
talk of England and free trade. He was a
quiet visitor in London and saw only some
lawyers and judges.
