THE DATE SET.
Next Grand Army Encamp-
mont Meets at Louisville
on Sept. II.
IMMENSE CROWD EXPECTED.
COmmander-in-Chief LaWle,
Greatly Pleased With the
Outlook,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 20.-The ex-
ecutlve council OF the G. A. R. at its
meeting decided that the goth encamp.
ment OF the G.. A. R. would be held
here during the week beginning Sept.
8. The exact date has not been fixed,
but the encampment will probably be-
gin about the 11th. This will be de-
cided later.
The review of the Chattanooga bat
tlefelds occurs Sept. 9, and many who
come to the encampment will wish to
go there also. For this reason it was
decided to give the date Of the encamp-
ment so that the two trips could be
taken together.
Commander Lawler We'll Pleased.
Commander-in-C Chief Lawler was
seen by representative of the Associ-
ated Press at the Gait House and ap-
peared much pleased with his reception
here.
"What do you think of the prospects
for the encampment here?'' he was
asked.
ION there is no doubt that it will be
successful. A Kentuckian's word is as
good as his bond, and when he prom
ises to do thing he is going to do it
or die. Louisville has invited the
Grand Army here and know she will
give it most cordial reception.
''The eyes, not only Of the Grand
Army, but Of the entire North and
South, are on the city. It is the first
encampment held south of Mason and
Dixon's line and will do much toward
bridging Over Any Feeling
yet remaining between the two sides.
1t will be historical event. When the
men who 80 years ago came down bent
on death and destruction now come
back to be entertained by their old
enemies no one can say North and
South are not again one people,"
"What do you think the attendance
here will be?''
1.-The encampment will be far the
largest ever held, think. Outside of
the people of your own state there will
be fully 1000 visitors here"
In the evening the visitors were ten
dered a reception at Music hall.

Would it not be just as we'll for the

How to Defend PekinG.

If the Chinese only had an able gen.
eral, although they could not get back
what they have already lost, they might
still save much Of what is left-at least
they might have done SO until very
lately.
For one thing, they might, at very
little trouble and expense. if they were
ready for it, prevent the Japanese from
getting within five miles of Picking.
Suppose they had cabled to the United
States for few shiploads Of Yankee
barbed wire fencing. 1t would at once
have revived our dropping iron and steel
industry and have saved the capital of
the Celestial Kingdom. When the wire
was landed on Chinese soil, they should
have shipped it by cars, or, if they did
not have enough Of them, by army
wagons to Picking. An army wagon can
haul mile of the wire. There is moth
ing on the earth so formidable by way
of defense as bristling barbed wire. It
makes one feel clawed to pieces to think
of it.
Wooden posts do not cost much. A
dozen lines Of the barbed fencing might
have been strung around Picking, one
within the other. If necessary, the
whole outfit could have been charged
with electricity. There is nothing known
to man that could have taken Picking
with such lines Of defense Even if the
wires were cut down, they would still
lie along the ground and entangle the
feet of the Jap invader and down him
and destroy him. There are possibilities
for defense in barbed wire that it is
we'll worth the while Of military tacti-
clans to investigate.

tion of 100 pounds each to the Irish Par
liamentary fund, is causing a sensation in
all political parties. Baron Tweedmouth

forwarded TO the fund The unionists
are making much of the fact that none of
the money which is said to be pouring
into the Irish Golfers is going to the

upon these contributions, says that a
double fleet will be felt from this sub
sidy, it will keep the McCarthyites in
good temper, and the evicted tenants will
become more exasperated than ever
The Globe also says that if Mr. Gladstone
and Baron Tweedmouth have taken this
action without consulting the premier, or
Sir William Harcourt il savors of
springing mine upon them.

right man, went up and attempted to
take the negro prisoner. AS soon as the
words Of arrest were spoken the negro
presented huge pistol to the officers
breast, as IL TO fire, but Sweat was
too quick for him. He had anticipated
trouble and had held his pistol concealed
behind him ready for use, and as quick
as a fash the negroes heart was pierced
with bullet therefrom. The negro
reeled, fell and Immediately died.
Sweat fearing trouble from the enraged
negroes at the place who, it seemed,
were bent on revenge; came at once, gave
himself up to the deputy sheriff, stating
