Army and Navy Reunions.

1t has heretofore occurred at G. A
r. National Encampments survivors
Of the same regiment, battery or boat,
who are in attendance and who have
not met since the war, are unable to
find each other by reason of having
no designated place or time to rally,
and comrades Lying. thousands of
miles apart learn too late of the
others attendance at the same en-
campment. To avoid such conditions
at the coming Encampment in August,
there will be reunion of every regi,
ment, boat and battery that served
on the Union side, and the time and
place Of such meeting will be an
nounced in advance to every veteran
who sends name, regiment, battery or
boat and postofliee address to c. X.
Pier, Secretary, Milwaukee, Wis.
Officers OF regimental or other re-
union societies should give early no
tice of meeting, and if sent to above
address, same will be published in the
official kncampment Bulletin and
reach every soldier and seaman's
notice.

Cotton.

Though known from prehistoric
times, the use of cotton for cloth did
not become general until after the
first successful American cultivation
of the fiber in 1890. in 1871 the
worlds yield was 49o,000,000 pounds,
and that of the United States 1000
600 pounds. Since then the
American development of the industry
has been stnpendous, the pres ent pre- :
duction Of the United States being
six times as great as that of the whole
world century ago, and its home
consumption being equal to the worlds
product so Yeas ago. 1t has been
calculated that, with the appliances of
1890, the manufacture of the worlds
cotton in 1926 would have occupied
about 100000 people while it re-
quired '300.0o0,00o persons at the
present time.

Pension Decision Overruled.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 24-Assistant
Secretary Bussey has overruled the action Of
the commissioner Of pensions in the case of
Sarah A. Corson, widow of Joshua Corson,
of the Twenty-fourth New Jersey volun-
teers, whose claim for a pension was rejected
on the ground that the origin of hernia, the
death cause, was not accepted as due to the
wound for which he was pensioned, and was
not shown to be due to the service. This
was the Judgment of the medical referee,
which antagonized that of other competent
medical testimony, and Mr.. Bussey says that
in this case the other testimony is entitled
to the greater weight.

tinuance of thirty days. The court was de-
sirous of getting the congressional commit

CINCINNATI, o., Dec. 21.-Williams Means,
president, and John r. Decamp, vice presi
dent, of the defunct Metropolitan National
bank, of Cincinnati were acquitted yester-
day morning by the jury in the United States
court, Judge Sage, with Judge Hammond,
from Memphis, on the bench. They were
accused of falsifying a statement to the
comptroller with intent to deceive the other
officers of the bank. Means is a wealthy
iron merchant, and was some years ago
mayor of Cincinnati. There are still two in
dictments standing against him, but they
will most likely be cancelled
