The late Senator Vance of North

1870, but his disabilities not having
been removable had been governor
OF North Carolina during the war
after waiting a year without admis-
sion, he had to send in his resignation.
On his way home, in respondent

ministers who learnedly discussed the
doctrine of election" Knowing his
Calvinistic faith they finally appealed
to him. "Well, gentlemen" said he.
my experience is that election will
not amount to much unless you first get
your disabilities removed. -" On one oc-
casion he was being driven across the
country by cOlOred driver. who talked
about the doctrine of election and free
grace. Finally the senator ventured
to ask what the driver thought of his
chance OF election to salvation. "Wel.

"BOStOn'S Remnant Of

THEY WANT LEMONADE.
Gen." Fitzgerald Stretched Out on

Morrison 8. Swift's Boston's remnant OF
Coxey's Army arrived here this noon, 10
strong, In command OF "Gen." Fitzgerald.
They spent last night In Providence on
account OF which will be found else
where.
The army on leaving Providence came
down Pawtucket avenue and arriving at
the horse car barn rested for half an
hour. The line of march was
then taken up to East avenue,
through Main street and Park Place to
Collyer park where the large America n
flag was furled and the men took posses
sion cf the benches while the general
stretched himself on the grhss.
In talking To newspaper men he said he
had less than half the men he had In
starting. Some had been expelled some
deserted and some found work.
He thought a committee ought to go
out and solicit materials with which to
make lemonade. Lemons can't be over
90 a box" he said.
or the many towns he had seen he llked
Pawtucket best.
He talked on In very entertaining and
intelligent manner for some time, telling
about his trip, arrest In Philadelphia, etc.
A local professional man recognized
among one OF the wealers a fellow who
was his classmate In his native town In
the Bay State and who also spent four
years at a Worcester college.
"Hello, Dave" said the local man /;
"what brings you here2"
"Well," said he, al was out OF work and
had nothing else to do"
The men left for Attleboro after receive
ing some refreshments.

The march will be direct TO Faneuil

General Fitzgerald, while not at
tempting to conceal disappointment at
the failure OF the Coxey movement. said
he believed that the Hub army's march
had done much COOL. Labor trou bles, he
said, had been discussed with much in
telligence by farmers he had met. and
the result Of the march had been to
awaken others to the necessity of solu-
tion of the labor problem.
The men, hs says, are In good spirits,
and are not sorry that they participated
In the crusade. They have had to endure
1eers from some. but these have been
overbaianced by the words of sympathy
from thinking people.
The mon are sadly in need Of better
garb and solid footwear, but hope for re-
habilitation when the Hub 10 reached.
