A detail of the several companies of
the 9Th Regiment, Vt. Vols, were do
ing guard duty in the town of Gret-
ma, opposite the upper port of New
Orleans. At that place lived Madame
Hatch, whose husband was colonel
in the rebel army. After coming off
duty after guard-mounting one fine
morning in October, 1862, my ap-
petite craved the taste of oranges,
and knowing that Madame Hatch had
an abundance, | strolled up to her
mansion, onto the veranda and
raped. The madame answered my
call, Iasked if she would give me few
oranges. Her response was, " Yes,
certainly" and she dispatched a
colored servant for the delicious fruit.
After [ had filled my haversack and
thanked her she said :-"Come when
you want more and you shall have
them"
Invent to quarters and divided with
the boys and went every other morn
ing for more. Finally | took an
empty cartridge box, my haversack
and pockets not being sufficient to
hold what | wanted, and setting my
cartridge box on the veranda,
raped at the door as usual. AT her
appearance she quickly saw the box.
"Why," she SAID, "have you come
for the rest of my silyer?' l said, Il
don't know what you mean"
"Why,' she said, that's the same
box that Gen. Butler sent Major
Strong with to take my silver spoons
away in" She then gave me the de-
tails, which are as follows General
Butler issued general order that
every man and woman who had ar
rived at the age of years must come
to his headquarters and take the
oath of ALLEGIANCE to the United
States. She told me she did not and
would not, for she was a rebel clear
through and through. Besides, her
husband was a colonel in a rebel
regiment. She did not 60, ten days
later Gen. Butler sent her a special
order to come and take the oath.
Shereported at his headquarters and
told him she would not if he killed
her and conse qu4ntly he sent Major
Strong, staff officer, to tell her that
Gen. Butler had sent him to con-
fiscate her sllverware Major Strong
had to hunt it up alone and found n
good quantity and spread it out on
her dining table. After looking over
the silver plate he simply took all the
spoons and left.
Madame Hatch said she was educat-
ed in the north and knew the northan
Yankees. She took pride in showing
me her fat poultry, lambs, calves, etc.
pd said that Col. Hatch got some
them every week regardless of Gen.
utler She was very courteous to
be and all the boys, and she was
indy treated by us.

The one-term rule in public office

According to the official reports,
the Canadians cannot entertain a
high opinion of the spirits distilled in
that country. The consumption of
spirits in Canada decreased from
.742 gallons per capita in 1894 to
.666 in 1895 At the same time the
production of spirits increased from
1.60S. 344 gallons in 1891 to 2,605,-
1877 gallons in 1895. This undoubt-
edly means that the increase has
come to this country and gone down
American throats. 1t is certainly no
loss to Canada, and probably gain
to America.

in getting away. Though many persons
IN this section believe that Purvis should

owing to The activity u Portland buyers,
said q railroad man who has peculiarly
good opportunities Of knoWln8 tne ia-L@.
yesterday. I'm my opinion there = only
one reason for this condition 81 ahalFs, ant
that Il the Portland men offer better ln-
ducements 70 the farmer. remember that
last season buyers from the Sound went IN
20 Eastern Washington and had un!Oaae1
<r. them a lot Of wheat that stood IN the
rains while the Portland men were *
tren.ely careful and picked the wheat they
bought. In consequence a Shipment OF
wheat from Tacoma proved almost worth
less. while the grain 70 leave Portland was
ali frat Glars. The experience Of las year
has had its effect upon the way wheat Is
bang handled now, and the result Is bad FOX
the Sound.
Another factor in the transportation Of
wheat will appear when the Astoria rail-
road IS completed. fer then the bulk Of
Washington wheat viii be carried BY the
o. X. & " through Portland and On 70
the sea, and the Seattle people Bill not be
able to help themselves"
Seattle wheat men admit that they have
been done up this year, but they are
inclined 70 think they have been 'Jobbed"
out OF their trade By an ingenious system
OF rebates inaugurated by the O. X. q y.
Company. IN the middle OF OCTOBER the -
r. e. y. warehouses at Garfield contained
Be-. go bushels Of wheat. while the North
ern Pacific warehouses contained bat 5000
bushels. The same condition Of affairs was
noticeable az other points At Pullman, for
instance, the O. Il. a y. had 40. 0e0 bush
els, which overtaxed both warehouses. and
was piled in great stacks out Of doors.
while the Northern Pacific had only J0010
bushels with not one warehouse filled and
one Of them containing but 90 bushels.
Early in the season the warehousemen
al Naitzburg were making the usual charge
% - cents per ton storage. bat IN q short
time the men on the Washington a. Column
ba River railroad found that grain was
coming In. bat vas going entirely 10 the
.. II. q y. The storage charge was then
reduced 10 ? cents per ton. but sin the
.. r. Il y. secured all the grain. The ware
honsemen naturally enough started an IN
vestigation, and farmers on being question
Cd, admitted that they were getting free
storage on the .. X. & y.
fnasmuch the storage charge OF 80
cents per ton amounts 10 IL cents per bush
ei and the handling profits are from
cent 20 ~ cents. Il is easy TO see that the
inducement was sufficient 20 capture the
grain crop. a great deal Of grain Is handled
on margin of l cent per bushel.
After the season Il closed, and the rail-
road has handled all the wheat Il Is
stated that the rebates are paid. and from
that source alone last year a Portland firm
received from the o. II. & y. Company
$50.
Wheat men here do not hesitate to saw
that they will not be victimized next year.

ANARCHIST MEMORIAL DAY.
Herr Most Praises Herr Altgeld-
Flowers tor The Martyrs.


Milwaukee. Nov u.-Milwaukee hall was
packed last night with a crowd which had
gathered to revere the memory of the chi
cago anarchists who met death on the gall
lows in Chicago in 1887. Portraits of Spies,
Parsons. Fischer, Engel and Lingg, heavily
draped with crepe occupied prominent
places on the stand. 1ntertwined among the
American and German colors was the red
flag Johann Most, of New York, was the
orator of the day. Most lacked none of
his old time virulence, and made hot
speech, mainly on the lines that are IA
mil:ar to readers of his utterances. The
speakers denunciation of the priests and
clergy of Chicago was delivered in scath-
ing terms and vehement gestures that
brought forth salvos of appreciation.
Most lauded Gov. Altgeld. saying: He
is not an anarchist, he is not a socialist.
but he is man of honor from the crown
of his head to the soles of his feet" Mrs.
Lucy Parsons was warmly greeted by the
friends OF her dead husband. She spoke
in about the same vein that she has used
in. her past addresses.
Chicago, Nov. 11.-Regardless of the or
ders of the president and trustees of Wald-
helm cemetery, a large crowd attended
the annual celebration at the graves of
Parsons, Spies and their comrades a Wald-
heim yesterday. Sixteen floral pieces, two
of which could hardly be crowded inside
the baggage car of the train, were laid ur<
on the graves 1t had been the original in
tention TO hold a demonstration at tha
graves. the same as in years gone by, but
at the last moment word was received from
the cemetery trustees that speech-making
would not be permitted, SO this part of the
programme was dispensed with.
Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE memorial exer-
cises held by the friends of the an
archists executed in Chicago eight years
ago was held tonight. with Mrs. Lucy
Parsons and Herr Most as speakers
large detail of police was on hand TO see
that no sedtious utterances were made
by either OF the speakers. and the meet
ing had been warned In advance that no
display of the red flag would be toler.
ated Most made a speech along his
usual lines. but said nothing that the po-
lice could find Objectionable.
Mrs. Parsons. on the other hand, in
dulged in strong talk and denounce in
bitter terms Judge Gary. who presided
at the trial at which her husband was
condemned. She became so savage in
her remarks that Inspector Shea was
compelled 10 stop her. After the inter-
ruption Mrs. Parsons resumed her talk
in a milder strain, and the meeting closed
peacefully.
