CONFEDERATE VETS WIN 4 DRILL.

They Beat che Famous Chickasaw Guards
and Challenge the North to . Contest.
The other day 80 ext onfederates-men
who fought during the civil war a third
OF . century ago-drilled against that
corps Of the Chickasaw guards which 1e
years ago was declared by General Sher-
man to be the best drilled body of men
he had ever known in this country or in
Europe. The contest was given for the
benefit of the Forrest monument fund.
Nothing like il had ever occurred in the
south before. Such q group Of specta-
tors, 30 thoroughly representative of the
south as 1t was and the south ms it is. has
never been seen In Memphis. An ex-Fed-
eral brigadier, an ex-C Confederate briga-
der and an x-Confederate colonel were
the judges.
OF course the thought had not been
seriously entertained by any one that
the exc onfederates-they who had stood
in the hornets nest" and the "bloody
angles" OF the fearful days so long past
could do more than make q more or
less graceful parade. They were men
advanced In years. A third of q century
makes somewhat of a difference in ones
hearing, in his vision, in the elasticity
and responsiveness of his sinews. These
men for nearly 30 years had been lean
ing yer desks, welding tools, engaging
in the affairs of commercial or profess
sional life. IL was not to be supposed
that they could suddenly lay down their
pens, their books and their tools, and
DOMINIC their old habiliments make any
thing like . serious contest against the
crack corps of the Chickasaw guards.
1t Ia said that among the 80 there were
only three under 90 years of age, and it
wal apparent that in the ranks were men
old enough to be grandfathers. Yet, to
the amazement Of the spectators, these
men knew how to drill by Hardee's tao
tics. They had not lost their ability to
keep step or to follow their file leaders.
They knew how to load and fire in ca
dence. They knew how to obey CON-
mands given rapidly, either for the man
ual of arms or for evolution. They could
wheel like a gate. They could double
quick. In other words, these staid and
sober citizens demonstrated that they
had not forgotten the soldiership that
once they knew. The veterans were
awarded the prize.
And now an idea occurs growing out
of the splendid performance of the ex-
Confederates. Let them challenge an
equal number of ex-Federals of the north
to drill against them upon Memphis
ground. Il would be an event In which
the whole country would be interested
and would tend to cement the friendship
Of the sections. The Memphis ''old boys"
need not fear competition. They DEM
onstrated their ability to cope with any
ex-Federal 8 of like years. We are SURE
that Memphis exc onfederates would be
glad to pay all the expenses of the guests.
What q great time it would be!-Mem-
phis Appeal-Avalanche.

Mon Of Science Puzzled by the Deposit ON
the Shore Of the North Pacific.

Mem Of Science Puzzled by the Deposit ON
the Shore Of the North Pacific.
The beeswax found in large quanti-
ties on Nehalem beach has from time
to time for years past attracted the at
tention of the curious and enlisted the
inquiry of scientists. The generally ac-
cepted theory that in some prehistoric
era a vessel, wax laden, went ashore ut
that place is frequently disturbed by
some less probable surmise for a time,
and after exciting some speculation and
comment drops out of sight. The latest
Of these comes from Mr. Odlum, who,
in connection with the department Of
archaeology Of o British Columbia col.
lege, is collecting data FROM which he
proposes to show that the Indians Of TIE
Pacific coast are descendants of certain
Asiatic races. He desires to know
whether the wax found at Nehalem is
actual beeswax or mineral wax, hoping
to forge a missing link in his chain of
evidence by means of information upon
that point.
1t has been SHOWN by careful scientific
analysis that the wax is of mineral ORR
gin, but it may be said in this connec-
ton that the substance is to all appear
ance genuine beeswax; that this appear
II C is corroborated by the faint, sub
tie odor Of beeswax, which fingers
around the storm beleaguered specimens
that have been from time to time
brought up from the beach, and that no
one from tasting it could tell that the
piece sampled was not identical with
that surreptitiously bitten from the yell
low, thread marked ball which was a
part of the furnishing of his mothers
workbasket in his boyhood- More than
this, the wing of a bee has been found
imbedded in the wax, furnishing ire
futable evidence Of the true nature Of the
substance.
The Pacific coast Indians may be de-
scendants OF an ancient Asiatic race,
but 1t Is not likely that airy more con-
elusive proof of this will eyer be devel-
oped by the most painstaking research
than that which this little brown bees
wing furnishes of the fact that the Ne.
halem beeswax is beeswax. HUv it came
there will probably never DO known def
initely until the secrets of the unremem-
bered ages are rescued from the tomb
OF time and incorporated In the written
history Of the days that were. but now
are not Practical people are not look
ing for IN occurrenceo Of this kind; hence
they are prepared TO accept the evidence
OF their senses In regard to the nature
OF this mysterious deposit in the sands
of the seashore and TO abandon attempts
that are more than likely 70 prove fu-
tile 70 discover how and when the bees
wax, Enthusiastically nodded and curious
y stamped, voyaged thither and was
thrown upon the beach-Portland Ore

those little gambling machines which
have been fixtures in nearly every cigar
store and liquor shop in the city for the
last two or three years.
The original scheme was that q man
by putting nickel In a slot would start
an indicator spinning around q dial. The
point at which it stopped would enable
him 10 receive one, two, three or more
cigars, but most often the indicator
would stop at q blank, which was set at
frequent points on the dial.
The existence of the blank, it seems,
made 1t a gambling device within the
meaning Of the law, and the machine
was ordered out of existence by the POI
lice. Now, however, it appears again,
and there are no blanks on the machine,
which announces on a placard promi-
nently placed:
