That Confederate. Flag
THE INCIDENT AT THE aRADY-MONUMENT
UNvEILING-MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

THE INCIDENT AT THE GRADY-MONUMENI
UNvEILING-MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
As was present at the unveiiing of the
Grady monument in Atlanta and witnessed
the ''flag incident" about which 80 much
has been said, feel inclined to write you a
brief statement about it.
When I went to take my place 10 the
column of Confederate veterans / noticed
that the color-bearer had his coIors furled
and draped. I nquired of him why he did
not unfurl them, and was told that it had
been suggested that this might not be agree.
able to all the guests of the occasion. in-
sisted that no regard should be paid to such
a sentiment; that the Confederate flag was
a mere souUenv; that there was no more
impropriety in displaying it than in wearing
our badges, and that the ''FultOn County
Confederate Veteran Association" ought
by all means, to take the same position that
"Lee Camp" of Richmond, took at the
unveiling of the Pickett monument-viz.,
that they "would not march in any column
without their Confederate flag, and that
any who we're unwilling to march with
them could simply stay out of the parade. !"
The matter was referred to the marshal
of that division, and it was decided to un-
furl the flag. It was not "tattered bat
tls-f,g," but a small Coufedersss flag.
There vas none other in the column, and
saw none in the decorations on the streets
Indeed, there was on the OCCASION very
plentiful display of United States flags and
flags
FABRICATIoNs.
The reports in the New York Mail and
Erpress were fabricatious, and the fuss that
has been made about it simply "much ado
about nothing"
General Palmer has simply exhibited
himself, and it is difficult to tell which have
been most conspicuous-his partisan malig-
nifty or his long ears.
The discussion in the papers has recalled
an incident which have never seen in print,
ard which is too good to lose.
At the reunion of the Omitted Coufede-
rate Veterans in Chattanooga on the 4.h
Of July, 1899, there was conspicuous alb.
sence of the Confederate flag in the process
sion aud in the decorations. But at the
Read House Mrs. Read had the Confederate
colOrs very prominent in all of the decora-
tions. Some of the camp, folio wers and
"bomb proofs" we're very indignant, and
went to General Wilder, who had been a
gallant Federal soldier, with loud com.
plants that ''that rebel rag" should be
faun'sd in their faces
General Wilder quietly replied: swell;
reckon the Confederate flag is pu. there for
educational as we'll as for other purposes"
''What do you mean BY that, General"
they asked.
"Why, in order that some of you fellows
Who were never near enough to the front
during the war to see Confederate flag
may now have an opportunity of learning
what sort of looking thing it was"
This palpable hit silenced them, and 1t
ought to silence the noisest OF these ''bloody.

For the SPECTATOR.
% NEvERMORE WITH ROSEs!"

Irvine my random tresses
With wreaths OF budding rose.
And watch beside my window
Where west, the sunset CLOVIS;
I count so fast the moments
my heart-beats count for thee)
And sad, walt thy coming,
Who comes not unto me!
In waves the softer cleaning
Ofevening fills the sky.
And night-time's spangled garments
Ofblack and gold trail by;
Her veil of flmy darkness
She filings across the sea.
While still keep the trysting
Love holds alone for thee!
My hair is limp and heavy
With midnight's dewy pearls,
And torn, the wreath Is lying
That bound Its crimpling curls;
But though the leaves have faded
Their clinging perfumes stay
AS love crushed low by waiting
viii yet Its hopes betray!
Mine eyes grow dim with watching
And hot tears blear their sight.
Unkind art thou and cruel.
To stay away tonight;
All! nevermore with roses
I'll bind my hair for thee.
Nor wait again the coming
Thou didst not keep for me!

throwing its ear piercing whistles into the
night, now Stacking speed, now off again
at it's fastest. Then it calmed it's flight,
whistled several times, and stopped alto
gether.
Ivan appeared at the door to take orders.
Countess Marie looked for the last time at
her strange companion. Then in voice
brusque and trembling, sai6 to her servant:
''1vap, you will return to the count
have no further need Of your services"
Amazed, the man opened his enormous
eyes. He stammered-
"But-but"-
She continued
mo, you need not come. have chang
ed my mind, wish you to stay in Russia.
Here, here is money for the journey. Give
me your cap and MANTLE"
The old servant, bewildered, tooK of his
cap and mantle, with unquestioning obedi-
ence, accustomed to the sudden whims an6
strange cspricss of his mistress. He walk
ed away with tears in his eyes.
The train started again, racing to tho
frontier.
Then the Countess Marie! said to her
companions:
"These things are for you. Monaieur;
you are Ivan, my servant. make but one
condition; it is that you:will never speak to
me; that you will say no word to thank me
on any pretext whatever"
The stranger bowed without word.
Soon fresh malt was made, and the Off
Gals in uniform entered the train. The
countess handed them the papers, and
pointing to the man seated in the far end
Of the carriage:
"My servant, Ivan; here is pass port"
The train started again.
During the whole OF the night they re-
manned tete-a-tete, dumb both.
In the morning, on stopping at a German
station, the stranger alighted. Then, stand
ing by the door he said:
'.Pardon me, madame, that l break my
promise, but have deprived you of your
servant. 1t is only fair that I should re-
place him. Is there anything that you re-
quire2'
She replied coldly:
"Go and send my maid"
He went. Then disappeared. When-
ever she alighted at refreshment room
she saw him watching her from distance.
In due course they arrived at Mentone.

The Rev. Dr. Charles Fl. Parkhurst has

in Presbyterisnism. He is stanch cham

something of hereto himself.
He is not stickler for close adherence to
theological dogmas. His sermon yesterday

A HORRIBLE FIND.

The Dead Body of a Pennsylvania Logger,
Partly Eaten by Wild Beasts, Discov-
cred the Mountain Side Near Al
toona, Pa.
ALTOONA. Pa. Feb. 19.-Yestcrday
morning Thomas stiles, wood-chop-
pei, made horrible discovery on the
mountain side along the kettle" road,
rs ar Altoona, the victim being George
Collier, a well-knoNn citizen of this
place. Some time ago Collier fell upon
an axe and cut severe cash across his
right arm. The wound resulted in lock-
jaw. but the case was being success
fully treated at the Altoona Hospital.
Later. however, his mind became af
fet ted, and he wandered away from that
institution.
Collier was emplo, ed at the time of
thu, accident on q logging contract, and
wien he left the hospital he returned
to his Ia Dor. For the past three months
he had been missed and nothing was
known concerning his wherea bouts I'M
til yesterday. The body was identified
as that of Collier rom papers found
upon his person. The sight was sick
eping in the extreme, his face, neck,
hauds and other po'tions of his body
having been eaten way by wild beasts.
He came to his dea;~ by freezing.
