CONFEDERATE REUNION
PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTH FLOCK
ING INTO BIRMINGHAM.
All Indications Point to One of the Great
est Gatherings'of the Kind Ever Wit
nessed-Thosc Expected.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April 2S.-The
big reunion is on. People are coming III
from the four quarters OF the southern
States. The city is already packed Win
visitors and still they come.
They who actually fought, their sympa-
thizers. wives and children are here. and
still the crowd comes. The street fakir
and the pickpocket. sure signs OF great
crowd, are already here. The streets this
evening in the business part OF the city
were so crowded that one could hardly
make their way along. The business men
have nearly all thrown out streamers or
Confederate and national colors Pictures
Of great southern generals. dead ana
living, hang from the windows OF the
business buildings and private residences.
The air is full OF hustle and bustle' ana
everything has gala appearance.
EFFECT OF THE RATE WAR.
The low rate on all roads which mas
been made give assurance OF mcreaseu
attendance, and the rate war IL is general
" conceded, will result in the bringing
Of thousands who would otherwise not
have come. Not only has this rate war
begun, but IL is not at an end, Tor IL
has been rumored that still lower rates
will be made Some weeks ago, the
Queen and Crescent made rate or 81
for the round trip from New orleans 10
Birmingham and return, in order that
the Texas delegation might be inceaseu.
1t was thought that the trans-Mlssls-
sppi department would make proper
tional rate from Texas points. To down
the Queen and Crescent, the LoulsVlhe
and Nashville announced rate from New
Orleans to Birmingham and return for
S. This set people to hustlng about
making preparations TO take advantage
of the cut. But this was not all. To-day
the Queen and Crescent went the old
reliable one better, and made the round
trip 50, and II is understood that the
Texas lines cooperating with the Queen
and Crescent have made proportionate
rates.
soNE OF THE CRLEBRlT1Es PRESENT.
Distinguished personages from all over
the southern States have already ar
rived upon the scene of the greatest re-
union on earth. 1t is now certainty

Better Times Ahead.

Chauncey Depew: "The year 1898
stands unique in its gloom, its disap-
pointment snd its failure to giveip any
one Of its months even a spasmodic
promise of more hopeful and happy
conditions.
.There has been no general bank
ruptcy of mills, factories, furnaces or
miner. The markets are becoming
empty and need replenishing. The
floors Of the mills are swept clean of
stock. As soon as it is decided in 1894
what will be the policy Of the govern
ment On the tariff there win be an inn
mediate and universal resumption Of
business, especially if the country is
not compelled to adjust its business to
radical changes in the tariff.
"The enormous accumulation Of un-
employed capital viii seek some avenue
for Investment and return, and that
will give corresponding employment.
Renewed business will furnish increas-
ing traffic to the railways. both passen-
ger and freight, and will improve their
earnings.
''The year 1894 will certainly be an
enormous improvement on 1893. be-
cause this country cannot be kept
standing still nor the pace Of its pro-
gress long diminished"

Eighteen Hundred Mi,lions.

From the New York Herald.l
"Goodby, 1893, and better times next
year." is the universal sentiment in
trade, manufacturing and financial
circles.
The depression in business, shrink
age in values and general poverty that
have followed the panic are without
precedent. The panic of 1873, which
was the reaction from the imitation Of
the war period. sinks into insignif-
canoe in comparison with the record Of
the year which closes to-day.
Liabilities of commercial, banking
and railroad concerns that failed dur
ing the twelve months aggregate nearly
81, 800, 600 900. These stupendous fig
ures are unparalleled. The phenomena
of this remarkable panic, occurring in
q time of profound peace, and with
good harvests and an unprecedented
abundance of all the raw material Of
wealth and in the absence Of any physi-
cal disaster or destruction of property,
will remain subject for the curious
study of political economists for many
generations to come.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, January ITO
say that Knoxville society is sore
doesn't half express it and it all comes
from the fact that a charity ball of gi-
gantic proportions, which was to be
given tomorrow night, has been called
off. Winter had brought its destitu-
tion and the people with the well-flled
socks kept them tied up with log
chains. The idea was conceived to
give grand charity ball, and promi-
nent members Of the Cumberland Club
took the matter in charge.
No sooner had their intention been
announced than one clergyman, Rev.
Frank Richardson, Of the Broad street
Methodist Episcopal church, opened
up his batteries. Money was needed,
but he was dead against a ball. 10
handled the project without gloves.
In bis view, dancing, if not an unpar-
donabls sin, was a species Of revelry,
and as such was closed with sin, the
com mission Of which consigned the
fellow convicted of it to the gallows or
penitentiary. The managers OF tho
ball answered his roasts this morning
in card, in which they agreed to call
off the ball in these tsrms: That the.
minister deposit 81, 900 in the bank by
II o'clock, the managers to do the same.
In every section Of the city this morn
ing ministerial coat tails could be seen
as their possessors hustled among their
parishioners securing donations. By
tho appointed hour the pot had been
raised, and while the ball managers
who had made the bluff were knocked
out, they recovered sufficiently to cover

dated, however, for next week grand
ball will be given, not for charity's
sake, but to take spite out on the min
listers who have knocked this one out.
Pretty little debutantes will smile their
sweetest on the ballroom floor, the
sight of which is as repulsive to some
az schooner Of whiskey to the Keeley
graduate.

The Weakest Spot.

liver. If that doesn't do its work of
purifying the blood, more troubles
come from it than you can remember.

ing else can. It rouses it up to healthy,
natural action. By thoroughly purify
ing the blood, it reaches, builds up,
and invigorates every part of the sys-
