On the occasion of the distribution
OF the fund OF $4,000 for the relief of
manned Confederate soldiers, which
was contributed by Mr.. w. B. Tate,
large number OF the old Confederate

ganized the association by electing o.
@. King as president, Geo. P. Voc,
first vice president, Geo. w. Folsom,
second vice president, and j. H. Nc
Clister secretary and treasurer. Judge
Rose declined reelection on account
of press OF business, believing that the
office would demand more of his time
than he could spare, and recommended
]. H. McClister for the place.
The objects OF the association are to
promote benevolence, bring about
social reunions, and 60 gather and dis
seminato facts that may bear upon the
history of the war of 1865.

| Its the desire of the promoters OIL
the organization to have q complete

time the members OF the association
t elected a new board OF directors t.

be sent there to take up the cattle, or
warrants may pe issued for the owners of

numerous complaints of this kind have
been received by the police about depreda-
tons being committed by cattle running at
large. At several suburban places gardens
have been destroyed and much damage has
resulted.
Many of the complaints come from the
country north of the city, and several per-
sons have been prosecuted in the Police
Court. One policeman, who became tired
of hearing complaints. look the owner of

heard and read much about the corruption

Yet after careful study, 1 have come to
the conclusion that English and American
city councils find their way to the same
hell. The English aldermen and council
Tors work in quieter way. 1 know a
mayor who turned his concern into a com
pany, so that he could get contracts for
municipal work in England. l know COM

simply represent themselves when con-
tracts involving large sums of money are
awarded by city councils
1t is the same in America, although it is
done more openly here. Yet they both

The Brick Model Battle Ship.

Acting Secretary McAdoo has written to
the governor of Illinois to inquire as to
the truth of the report that he has sold the
brick model Of the battle ship Illinois ex-
hibited at the worlds fair. Some of the
officials of the department are inclined to
believe that the governor exceeded his
powers it, as reported, he has sold the
model as old junk. They assert that it was
transferred to the state in order that it
might be used by the naval militia of Illi-
nos IS an armory or otherwise, and that
on the disarmament of that organiza ton
it should properly have reverted to the
government instead of being sold and the
proceeds turned into the state treasury.
