STRANGE BED-FELLOWS.
frrederickshure Starr

Like the Dispatch. the Star has been
an admirer OF Governor OFerrall, at
tributing to him sterling manhood, born
of a rough encounter with the world at
an early period in his career, and con-
quering an adverse fate by his own
strength of character. 1t Is hard TO
think OF him as kissing the hand that
has 80 often smote him, for those with
whom he has allied himself have hereto
fore been among the most active of his
opponents. There has never been a
more forcible verifcaton OF the old adage
that politics makes strange bed-fel-
lows"

SOL HAAS GIVEN SILVER.
A Handsome Testimonial to a Pop
uIar Railroad omciaI.

Washington. Feb. 22-Sol Haas. former
ly assistant to the president of the South
ern railway, and for a quarter of a CEN
tury in charge of the traffic of the old
Richmond and Danvile railroad, was
greatly surprised tonight when a COM
mittee. representing a large number OF
his old associates and employees, called
at his residence in this city and present.
ed him a large oaken chest of mas
sive silver, comprising tea and coffee sets,
and a complete table service, as a testi-
monial OF their lasting affection.
The party consisted of Capt. w. II.
Green, general superintendent; J. NJ. CUP,
traffic manager; w. A. Turk, general pas
senger agent; r. ID. Carpenter, general
eastern agent; +. b. Price, agent at Phila-
delphia; l.. s. Brown, general agent, and
S. II. Hardwick, assistant general pas
senger agent.
Mr.. Hardwick made beautiful presen-
tation address, filed with loyalty and
affection and Mr.. Haas responded, hap
PLY attributing any success he had en-
1oyed to the efficient support he had al
ways received from his co-workers and
friends. Probably no man has ever held
the affection of his men more closely than
Sol Haas.

MUSEUM or THE cONFEDERAoY.
The Institution Opened With ApprO-
nrInfc Exercises.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 22-One OF the fea-
lures Of the observance here OF Washing
tons birthday was the formal opening OF
the museum Of the Confederate Memorial
Literary Society in the Davis mansion,
the white house OF the confederacy, which
was donated to the society by the city OF
Richmond. The ceremonies were simple.
but impressive. consisting of prayer by
Rev. Dr. Moses ID. Hoge. and an address
by Gen. Bradley 4. Johnson of Baltimore,
who was introduced by Gov. O'Ferrall.
Among other things Gen. Johnson said:
clusion that the cause of the cOnfederacy
was right. Every lover OF liberty, cOnsti-
tutional liberty accorded by Jaw, all over
the world begins to understand that the
war was not war waged by the south in
defense OF slavery, but was a war TO pro-
ancestors. >"
Speaking next of the devotion of vir-
ginians and Virginia women TO the confed-
crate cause, he said: "lt IS this constant
and Justice and chivalry of the confed-
crate cause which constitutes the sue
cess and illuminates the triumph we COM
memorate to-day, Evil dies, good lives,
will realize that the failure OF the con-
fedenacy was "a great misfortune to hu-
manity, and will be tho source Of unnum-
bered woes to liberty"
Tonight there was a reception at the
museum and II was largely attended.
This afternoon the Richmond Light In
fantry Blues paraded In honor OF the day.
AT the Fairmount Graded School the Ju-
niOr Order OF United American Mechanics
received a flag with imposing ceremonies
and Rev. DIR. L4andrum made an address,
The day was also appropriately observed
at the Lee camp soldiers home.

Knapp, he retired about his usual hour
and nothing more was seen of him until
he was found.
Several letters addressed to business as.
soclates and one to his wife, at her home
IN Phlladelphia, were found in his room.
Michael d. Harter was one of the promi-
nent democrats in the Fifty-third con-
gress, his position upon the money dues-
ton giving him a national reputation. He

senting Sherman's home district, and he
stood high in commercial circles. He was
born at Canton, O., in 1876. and married
Miss Brown of Massillon. Later he be

ENGLAND's MONETARY STAND.
A Discrepancy in BaIfOur's Recent
Statement Pointed Out.

Berlin, Feb. 22.-In the Reichstag to-day
Freiherr Marschan Won Bieberstein, min
lister of foreign affairs, said, in reply to
an Interpolation by Count Won Mirbach,
that the statement made in the British
House of Commons on Thursday by Mr..
Balfour, first lord of the treasury that
it was not true that Germany had ap-
preached Great Britain with view to the
conclusion of a monetary agreement be-
tween the two countries, did not agree with
Lord Salisburys answer to the commun-
ication of Count Won Hatzfeldt, the Ger
man ambassador to Great Britain, made
on Feb 3. He then read the communica-
tion.
At the conclusion of the reading Count
Won Kardiff, the bi-metallist champion,
emphasized the fact that the commune
cation was worded directly contrary to
the resolution adopted by the Reichstag
last year, and was thus worded in order
to anticipate England's declining to take
part in an international congress.
