to the point of cri;ninality The South
which mas done so much in the max
ing of or history. would be satisfied
If that history were truthfully written.
Atthis juncture Miss Winnie Davis,
with her escort numbering many ladies
appeared on the platform The entbus.
iasm of the convention as the dele
gates caught sight of the Daughter of
the Confederacy was beyond all
bounds. It was not a succession of
cheers, but one continuous roar. Such
Il scene has not been witnessed in the
South in many years.
Miss Davis. dressed in dark brown
costume. with a Confederate badge on
her breast and bunch of flowers in
her belt, advanced to the side of Gen
eral Gordon near the edge of the plat
form. and made bow after bow to the
enthusiastic crowd, which seemed in:
toxicated by her smile. Complete or
der could never be restored after her
advent, and it was not until General
Gordon had said, after reasonable
intermission, that lie would clear the
hall unless the convention came to or
der, that General Lee could proceed.
General Lee Zen finished reading
his report, which recommends begin
ming at the bottom to stimulate public
sentiment in favor of histories which
are just to the South, by teaching them
in the universities. 1t recommends
tons of previous reports, and urges
that in the future that each camp have
prepared a correct list of the enroll
ment from each county, the number
killed and in what battle; it asks each
State organization to urge upon its re,
spectiye Legislature tomake an appro-
priation for carrying into effect these
recommendations; endorses the Con-
federate Veteran publication; censures
the Encyclopaedia Britannica for mis-
representing the South; strongly en-
dorses DR.. j. L. NJ. Curry and his his
tory, The Constitution and Reunited
Union" and asked that he be invited
to address the veterans at the next re-
union on the subject of slavery and
and secession. It asks that the com
mittee be enlarged to one member
from each State. The report was ad,
opted and ordered published.
When Gen. Lee finished, the veter,
ans where invited to pass in review
before Miss Winnie Davis, after ad-
journment, which was then taken from
to o'clock. The crush and confu.
sion was so great that there was actual
danger or fatalities. Miss Davis ad-
vanced to the front of the platform
and smilingly raising her hands, said
she knew she could rely upon the
members, as men and Texans to fol
low the rules and make the review as
easy as possible" adding, "Now, won't
you," with an appealing smile. This
was partly effective. but not wholly
so, and for nearly two hours she was
buried among the mass of veteran who
scrambled over the reporters tables
and upon the platform. 1t would be
impossible to describe the enthusiasm
and confusion of the scene.
AT 5 o'clock this afternoon the spon
sors and their maids of honor held 6

glishman, was sent to jail today for
assault and battery on his young wife.
Macarthur came from Brooklyn re-
Gently and established a monthly pc
riodical called the Florida Magazine"
He seemed to have plenty of money
and was quite popular until stories
that he treated his young wife lnhu-
manly got abroad. Last night Mrs.
Macarthur ran out in night clothes,
screaming that her husband was try
ing to kill her. Neighbors took her
in and today had her husband arrest
ed. Testimony in court showed that
Macarthur had treated his wife with
shocking cruelty. Mrs. MacAr-
thur testified that her husband
had beat her several times and
knocked her on the head. She also
said that it was frequent occurrence
for him to come to the city ahd before
leaving lock up all the food in the
house and be gone all day leaving her
without anything to eat. Mrs: Mac
Arthur is small in stature and very
slender. She was very much distress
ed during the time she was giving her
testimony and at times would burst
in tears. She is only nineteen years
of age and was formerly Miss Louise
Hunt. her family residing at 3, 2S7 Pa
cific street. Brooklyn. Macarthur it
is said receives a handsome allowance
from wealthy relatives in England. 1t
is believed he is demented.

lilc SdIlUUedu Lilly iill-
\ friend was telling me of an exquis-
ite thing aboat Seattle, then OF Wash
ington territory, now Of Washington
state. The people Of Seattle had raised
a generous sum of money for the
Johnstown sufferers from the flood.
4 few days after Seattle was destroy
ed by fire. I saw it While the whole
city was living in tents. In a pub
lie meeting some che proposed that
the money raised for Johnstown be
used for the relief of their own city,
and the cry was No.No. No Send the
money to Johnstown, and by acclama-
ton the money was SO sent. Nothing
more beautiful or sublime than that
Under the wing of fire thatsmote Seat
tie the sympathetic hand, the helping
hand, the mighty hand Of Christian
relief for people thousands of miles
away. Why, there are a hundred
thousand men and women whose one
business is to help others. Helping
hands, inspiring hands, lifting hands.
emancipating hands saving hands.
Sure enough, those people had wings
OF consolation, but the likeness Of
the hands OF a man was under the
wings" There was much sense in that
which the robust boatman said when
three were in boat oil the coast in. a
sudden storm that threatened to sink
the boat. and one suggested that they
all kneel down in the boat to pray, and
the robust man took hold of the oar
and began to pull, saying Let You,

other oar, and let the weak one who
cannot pull give himself up to

The arbitration bill introduced in
the federal house by Mr.. Erdman, of
New Jersey, does not provide FOR
compulsory arbitration, but it gives
employees an opportunity to be heard,
when receivers are in control OF
roads, upon the question of reduc-
ton of wages and the condition OF
their employment, should changes
be sought by the receivers. 1t is in
tended chiefly to apply to disputes
between interstate railroad com
pauies and their employees. and,
while it will not make strikes impos'
sible. it is generally thought that ii
will prove an effective balance wheel.
Acknowledgement Olney drew the
bill. and it was amended in accord
ance with suggestions by the leader:
of the various labor unions of the

WILLIAM MCCONoCHIE is suffering
with his biennial distemper. and it is
said TO be in Il more aggravated form
than ever. One of his ante-election
civil-service-reform pledges is to re-
move every present official coming
under the appointing power with the
exception of two policemen. In Nc
Conochle's case this may mean much
or little; it indicates, however, that
he thirsts for more glory. McCono-
chic is becoming as chronic an office
seeker as Gest. Other republicans
