had brought to an end the peril between hostile sections and settled firmly the foundations upon which rests today the Srea test of governments. The emancipa- ton of this country from the power of Great Britain was settled forever when Cornwalls surrendered at Yorktown; and so, too, said Secretary Herbert, the verdict of our civil war has been accepted as absolutely final. l" The perpetuity of the union was settled forever when Lee offered and Grant refused the sword at Appomattox. .as e- zs4-..#ss
 Secretary Herbert in tine course of his remarks proceeded to show that the north was not separated from the south through the ambitious designs of any great chieftain, but that the struggle was to determine underlying principles of government that had not been settled in the convention that framed our constitu- tion. In the struggle that follwed both sides were desperately in earnest, be- cause both sides believed themselvs'to be in the right There was nothing, he said, to do but fight 1t out, and 1t was fought out honestly, squarely and brayely on both sides The south could not have been induced to sacrifice itself as it did except upon the belief that 1t was fight ing for the rights bequeathed by its an- cestors.
 On the other hand the north could never have been induced to fight as 1t did had it been waging war of con quest The people were inspired with the conviction that they were fighting to maintain in its integrity the constitution of the fathers, which, as they understood 1t. ordained a perpetual union. The war decided the question of slavery, which had come into dispute, and it was dis posed of for all time.
 Secretary Herbert in dra wing lesson of the times, said that political fury and sectional hate had destroyed mutual res pect, the necessary foundatio of fra ternal feeling, but all this had changed.
 In conclusion MT. Herbert said: Dur ing the thirty years that have elapsed since Grant refused to take the sword of Lee at Appomattox. as we have looked back at the past that admiration and res pect have continued to increase and as we have looked around at the present we have come to confide in and rely upon each other Here we are today, all met as brothers to do honor to the valiant hosts that fought at Missionary ridge and Chickamauga.
 Furthermore, you who have worn the blue in the days that tried mems souls are not truer today to the flag under which you fought than are the men who fought in gray at Chickamauga and Mis- sionary ridge If the government that ordained the dedication of this national park is yours, so also is 1t their govern ment Its privileges are theirs and US premises are to them and their children. They take pride in its power and its pres tige among the nations of the earth, and this loyalty to the union of the Confed- crates who once fought so bitterly against it, is the crowning glory of the heroes in blue to whom monuments are to be dedicated tomorrow.

THIRD ::!., EDITION.
DEVILS AUCTION" TONIGHT

O'Brien's tonight will present Charles H. Yale's Newest Devils Auction" So much has been done for the piece in the way of novelties that even those who have never failed to witness its annual tour would hardly recognize it in its new dress, so great are the substitutfons and additions. MT. Yale personally declares that this season he is presenting the very finest production ever given under his management, and in this claim he Is sub stantiated by the review of the Philadel- phia Press which says: .Gilmores au- ditorium opened last night before d house that in size made late corners regret their tardiness. The opening attraction was a magnificent production of Charles II. Yales Newest Devils Auction" and the manner in which It was received showed that 1t had lost none of its popularity with the lovers of spectacle. That MT. Yale has certainly outdone himself In thds years presentation of novelty by a master hand, Is shown in the scenery, music, costumes, pallets. specialties and the various adjuncts which go to make up a piece of this description. The scenery Is handsome and particularly ef- fective, the palace of the emperor and the brilliant transformation scene called "The- Flight of Time" being especially deserving of the highest praise. The dancing of Mademoiselles De Beasi Bar toletti and Amore draw forth unstinted praise and numerous encoreS. The bal lets are decidedly elaborate and lavish ly costumed, and of those presented, "The National Foll Dance" "The Queens and Fairies of the Ballet" and ''On the Rial to" will certainly become as popular as "On the Bowery." The speciality fea- tures- are decidedly new and very enter taining, the work of Les Freres Lorella being very Imaginable, the singing of Miss Kitty Wolf being also feature, while the midget dancers fairly captured the house, as also did the Donazettas in their fine act whose marvellous feats of gym nastic revolutions are phenomenal. The Trials of the Trolley fairly beggar de- scription and must be seen to be appre- ciated.
 The dramatic cast is above the average and serves to introduce Miss Mildred Holden, Anna Moore, Kitty Wolf, Maud King and Mamie DeVere, Chris Bruno, Al w. Decker, William Ruge, William Lorella and others"
 Taken all in all, MT. Yale's production this season Is far ahead of all previous representations, and no doubt the opera house will be well crowded.
 MT Harry Hardy, manager of James B. Mackie's Grimes Cellar Door" com pany, was in the city yesterday arrang- ing for the performance which takes place at OBren's next Tuesday night.

Celebration of the Day Being Appropriately Observed by the Hebrews of
 the City.

With yesterday evenings twilight be- gan the Jewish new year, or as it is termed in Hebraic verbiage Rosh Hash onah. It is the 5656th anniversary of the founding of the world, as recorded in the old Mosaic laws.
 By Hebrews in all parts of the world the day is observed with songs of praise and rejoicing It is set apart as a holi- day and as such is appropriately cele- brated.
 The origin of the day, Rosh Hoshonah, was at the time of liberation of the children of Isreal from Egyptian bond age. Moses was commanded by Jehovah to so name the day and to observe it in a proper manner The command is found In Leviticus xxiii, 23: Speak unto the children of Isreal, saying that in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, me morial of blowing of trumpets holy convocation."
 The beautiful new moon shone in the western horizon for a short time, re- f1ecting upon the earth Its soft rays, seemingly rejoicing with liberated He brews in their observance of the day, hal lowed by the command of the great Je- hovah and handed down from time me- moiial, from generation to generation, In all ages and climes-
 At all three of the Jewish temples last night sacred services were held, followed by general wish of health and pros perity" for the new born year.
 Today additional services will be held and the labors and cares of life having been laid aside until the going down of the sun visits will be made and general rejoicing take the place of the usual routine.
 Ten days hence the most solemn of hol- idays, that of "Atonement," will be ob- served by Hebews the world over in fast ing and prayer

Pleasures at Home.

The notion seems to be fixed in the
minds of young people Reimbursement
is a luxury to be enjoyed beyond our
home, We are to pay for the opportu-
nifty Of sharing it at the theatre, opera,
museum, etc. But every wise parent
and every virtuous youth should en-
courage the idea that home is an am
pie field for nearly every form Of
wholesome recreation and amusement.
We may use it as a concert room, a
lyceum, recitation saloon, or whatever
else we may fancy; and the more the
members of a family unite in efforts
to improve and amuse each other, the
less will they need or be disposed to
seek recreation abroad, and the less
will the youth of the family be ex-
posed to evil influences. \ little tact
in parents, aided by the abundant and
cheap helps which may be found in the
form of books, pictures music, ETC.,
would furnish variety of useful and
entertaining exercises in the family,
in which all might participate, and
thus create an attachment which would
be yielded to. It is because home is
gloomy and dull, $hat young people
spend their evenings away from it,
and feel that they must do so if they
would avoid moping away existence:
And it is while they are in pursuit OF
enjoyment, out OF sight of parents.
that they form habits and friendships
which entail lasting injury.

Met a Horrible Death.

SPARTA, Ga., Oct. 9.-Little Frank,
the four year old boy of Mr.. Tom
Roberts, quiet, peaceable and indus
trious farmer, who lives about one
mile from town, met with a most hor-
rible and cruel death few days since.
The little fellow was sitting in a wagon
which was being prepared to haul cot
ton to the gin and his father had gone
to the lot nearby to get the mules when
two negro boys, brothers, aged respec-
lively II and 16 years, approached the
wagon with gourd, the handle of
which was open in the end and in
which was some diluted potash used
for washing clothes, and they presented
this death dealing draught TO the little
fellows lips with the statement that It
was sweentened water, and when he
opened his mouth they tilted the
gourd, pouring its contents like mol
ten lead down his throat The little
fellow screamed and his father ran to
him quickl Y and everything that could
be done for the little fellows relief was
done but to no avail, his stomach be-
ing literally burned out The parents
have the sympathy of the whole coun-
ty in this terrible atfiictiOn.

Here's a Nut to Crack.

I have found the following interest,"
ing problem in an ole note book,
writes Sir Walter Besant. I have no
recollection at all of its origin. Per-
haps everybody knows it. Perhaps
everybody does not. Those who do
not will find it, I think, unless they
bring algebra to bear upon it, rather
a tough nut to crack. Here it is.
Once there were three riggers-their
wickedness is a negligeable quantity
it does not enter into the problem
who robbed an orchard, carried away
the apples in a sack, laid them up in a
barn for the night, and went to ped.
One of them woke up before dawn,
and, being distrustful O.: his friends,
thought he would make sure of his
share at once. He therefore went to
the barn, divided the apples into three
equal heaps-there was one over,
which he threw away-and carried off
his share. Another niger then woke
up with the same uneaslness and the
same resolution. He, too, divided the
apples into three heaps-there was one
over, which he threw away-took his
share and carried it off. And then The
third niger woke up with the same
emotions; he, too, divided the apples
into three portions-there was one
over, which he threw away-took his
share, and departed. In the morning
every one preserved silence oyer his
doings of the night; they divided the
apples which were left into three
heaps-one Was over, which they
threw away-aad so each took his
share. How many apples were there
in the sack2 There are many possible
answers whole series of numbers
but let us have the lowest number Of
apples possible. Senior wrang-
lers must be good enough not to an
swer this question. Moralists. if they
please, may narrate the subsequent his
tory of these three niggers, apart from
the problem of their apples.

cert halls where she could meet Hunt.
One night, at a ball, the marshall was
sitting outside the hall at an open
window During the wh.rl of a waltz
someone, in passing the marshal, put
bullet through him.
He was killed instantly. After the
funeral Bat Carr, another gambler,
became marshall. Nobody ever in
quired who killed Hunt, but every
person seemed to think the widow did
it, and when she killed Eunt she put
bad thing away.
Bat Carr was no man to hold the
marshalship. He was an easy going
fellow and relied too much on moral
suasion and not enough on Winches-
ters and sixshooters. He could not get
deputy to suit the occasion until one
day Texan named Harry Brown and
professional killer came to town.
Carr appointed Brown his deputy, but
soon Brown decided to run the town
himself, so he run Carr out of town,
and then Brown notified the city coun-
cilmen that he intended to act as mar
shall and run the town to suit himself.
By this time everybody had discover
ed the desperate character of the man
and were afraid of him. He made Ben
Wheeler his deputy, and together they
terrorized the Southwest. They held
up cattlemen on the streets and sys-
tematically robbed the gamblers. The
women of the town had to pay tribute
to the fun. Brown and Wheeler own
ed Caldwell. One day they rode away
toward Cherokee strip, after horse
thieves, they said. On the way they
were joined by two cowboys of the
old Jime Talbot gang, and the four
rode into Medicine Lodge the next
morning about 9 o'clock and dis
mounted in frontof the First National
Bank.

Course eofCottop.

New YORK, Oct. 10.-This was a
field day in the cotton market. Llv-
erpool showed decided weakness and
January after opening at 9.O7 and ad-
varcing to 9.12 began to weaken IN
sympathy with the decline abroad.
January declined to S.99 and then raj
lied to 9.O6. This was Just before
noon. When the bureau report was
announced, making the average con
dition of the crop 65.l as against ST
at this time last year, there was wild
rush to sell and it seemed hard to get
a bid. In a moment January was sell
ing at SIS. A little later it sold at
SIS This was the lowest Of the day.
There was absolutely no justification
in the bureau figures for this startling
break. The report.was the worst DC.
tober showing in recent years and
was about as bad as was expected.
But the market was loaded with long
cotton and it was honey-combed with
orders to sell if the bureau figures
were over IS. Many orders were also
to sell after the bureau announcement
whether prices were higher or lower,
and still more to sell in case Of de-
cline. The accumulation of these Or
ders precipitated mass OF cotton upon
the market in a moment and buyers
seeing the state of things held off so
as to get in as low as they could, but
when the selling orders had been exc
c,1ted a Quick recovery followed. jan
uary rallied fully 20 points from the
lowest, selling up to 9.05. Then those
who had bought at the bottom has
tened to take profits and the selling
caused another decline. January re-
acting to SIS. The close was barely
steady with January at $50 and S.97.
The feeling this afternoon as to the
course of prices is very much mixed.
Our own opinion is that cotton sooner
or later will bring higher prices than
any we have yet seen this season:
