HARRISBURG, Pa, May 15.-From
Altoona to Harrisburg the trip was
devoid of special incident. The ride
through the picturesque Juniata val

of fatigue upon any face. 1t was 1915
when the train rolled into the station,
and it remained for fifteen minutes.

here and boarded the train for New
York, whence his family sails for
Europe tomorrow. Before leaving he
took occasion to personally compli-
ment George w. Bird, of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, upon his admirable
management of the trip.
Adjutant General McClelland had
stationed a battery near the state ar
senal overlooking the railroad track,
and when the train was in sight can
non began booming presidential
salute of twenty-one guns. This was
the signal to the great crowd gathered
in the Pennsylvania railroad station,
which numbered now several thousand
people, and all pressed forward so that
it was with much difficulty that the
track could be cleared for the incoming
train. Great cries went up, and before
the train came to standstil men,
women and children pressed around it

NASHVILLE, Tenn. AJ&v lG, 1871.
Ata recent meeting of the Southern
Press association at Memphis, a COM
mitles Of rhrs- was appointed to CO.
operate with Gen. Jno. r. Gordon,
commandments of the Confederate
Veterans Association. in raising fund
for erecting monument to the me'n-
DRY of Jefferson Davis. This step Was
taken in furtherance of a scheme set
on foot shortly after the death OF
Davis and which wa, intended to Sc
cure co operation of Southern news
papers. For this end some money has
already been raised, but efforts in this
direction have heretofore been desul-
tory and lacking in system.
The committee have therefore,
thought it was best that some action
| should be taken to the en- that a gen
| eral and simultaneous movement be
inaugurated. They have therefore,
prepared the following address:
To People of the South: 1t has been
| the custom of all times and of all PEG
pie to honor the memory of their Illus
trious dead by the building of monu-
ments which shall be perpetual re-
hinder of their virtues and achieve
ments. Southern soil is rich with the
blood and ashes of southern heroes and
patriots whose memory will be price
less heritage and an inspiring example
forever,
MAmong all the noble dead there q
| none whose name appears with create
power to the affectiouate remem-
brance of.the Southern people than
that of Jefferson Davis. His splendid
valor upon the field of battle, his
brilliant abilities in the arena of
craftsmanship, his heroic fortitude
under persecution, unparalleled In Its
atrocity and bitterness, his patient,
proud endurance of columny and de
traction make him a figure which will
stand for all time in the group of the
great men of our history. The cause
for which he fought has gone down
and we have buried it forever. But
there is no sentiment of honor or OF
patriotism which requires us to bury
the memory of those whose lives were
entwined with and whose blood was
shed for it.
The southern people will have be-
come lost to every sense of honor
able manhood and womanhood when
they forget him who for their sake
wore shackles upon his wasted limbs.
We owe it to ourselves and to our chill.
dren to build a monument to his
memory.
We therefore appeal to the people OF
| the South, confident of the nature OIL
their response. We have appointed
the 18th day of June, 1891, as a
day upon which the people of every
town and county in the southern
states should meet and take
proper steps to forward the
enterprise by voluntary contribution
or other methods which they may
deem best. Let those who feel a pa
triot's interest in this movement every
where begin at once to organize a
movement in their respective commu
mites and secure large and enthusiast
tic meetings on the day appointed and

'Keep 1t Out of the Paper"

'Keep it out of the paper' is the cry
which the local newspaper publisher daily
hears. To oblige often costs considerable
though the party who makes the request
thinks the granting scarcely worth saying
''thank your for. A newspaper is pecul-
lar article in the public's eye. The news
gatherer is stormed at because he gets hold
of one item, and is abused because he does
not get another. Young men. and often
young women, as well as older, perform
acts which become legitimate items for
publication and then rush TO the newspaper
offices to beg the editors not to notice their
escapades. The next day they condemn
the same paper for not having published
another party doing the same thing they
were guilty of, forgetting apparently, their
late visit to the printing Office. The SUP
scribers expect to read the news, and there
is always wonder when, for charitys sake,
an item on the street and in everybody's
mouth is not found in the next issue of the
paper

TENNESSEE COAL AND IRON SALE.

1t Is Opposed by Some of the Stockholders
and Strongly Endorsed by Others.
Special TO the Gazette.
NEW YORK, April 1s-The election of Of
fcerS of the Tennessee coal and iron COM
pany developed the fact that negotiations
for the sale of part of the property of
that company to an English syndicate for
81, 800, 600 have been under way for some
time and that the proposition is vigorously
opposed by the stockholders representing
two-tifths of the capital stock. This oppo-
sition has taken the form of a protest
signed by the opposing stockholders, repre-
stockholders, which is to be presented at
the meeting of the stockholders at Tracey,
Tenn, on May7.
The active part in formulating the pro-
test and getting signatures thereto has been
taken apparently by Thomas Barrett, a
large stockholder of Memphis. Ex-senator
Thomas c. Platt is president of the Ten
nessee coal and iron company. In reply to
questions by 4 reporter of The GAZETTE
this morning, Mr.. Platt said that the whole
matter was tempest in teapot. The di-
rectors of the company, however, had au-
thorlZed him some time ago to give an op-
ton on some of the outlying property in
Tennessee to an English syndicate for
S5OOOOO. He believed the sale, if consum-
mated, would be for the benefit of the com
pany; 1t would strengthen it financially.
The price named was a good one, and, per-
sonally, he favored the proposed sale. The
question, however, would be left to the
stockholders to settle. 1t might be that
the proposal would fall through on account
OF the local sentiment there was against it.
but nevertheless he believed a majority of
the stockholders favored it.

Superintendent Dupc.n.sy iavs

General Superintendent Duncan of the
Union Pacific, who has just returned from
a trip over the Fort Worth line, is very
jubilant over the crop prospects in the
Southwest. He believes this will prove a
very prosperous year for the railroads.
While in Texas he was informed that the
acreage of wheat in the Panhandle was
fully 300 per cent greater than last year
The acreage of all crops has been increased
all over the state, and the crop prospects
all through the Southwest are very bright
Mr.. Duncan believes if the hopes of the
farmers are realized there will be a great
era of prosperity, and of course the rail-
roads will come in for their share of the
benefits. MIR Duncan says the country
along the Fort Worth line is developing
very rapidly Denver News.

NAUGHTY UNCLE JERE.
His Interference with the Quarantine Lines
Makes Trouble.

Up at Washington there is benevolent
appearing old gentleman with q ford
face and snowy beard who bosses the de-
partment OF agriculture. Uncle Jere's
home Is in St. Louis and he is of course
thoroughly familiar with cattle, agricul-
tural and livestock interests. But it is
safe to say that Uncle Jere has no friends
among Texas cattlemen. The reason
Tor this IS Mr.. Rusk'S actions. The gov
errors of several Western states and ter
rltorles have after months of patient effort
succeeded in establishing satisfactory
quarantine lines. Then along comes Uncle
Jere who assumes the governors know
nothing about it. They have never lived
in St. Louis and raised cattle, and how
should they know. He coolly establishes
his Quarantine line 200 miles further
north and the result is he has
played the very deuce with
cattle shipments from Texas to the North
and placed the cattlemen between the devil
and the deep sea. The lines established by
the governors was on the lines heretofore
used andthere has been no disease. This
arrangement was satisfactory to all con-
cerned until Uncle Jere complexities matters
by establishing another quarantine line for
the govesnment. This is embarrassing to
the cattlemen, and especially to the rail
roads. Contracts have been made with
the roads TO move many thousand head to
certain points, but now that the lines have
been changed troubles have arisen. The
Denver Is already waiting to haul cattle
out, and this delay is proving decidedly
YeXatlous, especially as the cars are needed
and demanded by other lines. Cattle ship
ments from Texas alone are affected, no
trouble being experienced with New Mex
leo and Arizona
