DATE OF THE REUNION.

1t seems to US that nothing but harm
can come of agitating the question OF
changing the date for holding the Con-
federate reunion here.
After it was decided that the Richmond
date should be thrown back one month
to accommodate those veterans who
wished to go hence to the proposed re-
union OF the Blue and Gray in New
York, all of our preparations were made
with reference to the new date.
For instance, the cornerstone laying
of the Jefferson Davis monument will
be the grand feature of the reunion here.
Competitive designs for the architectural
work of the monument will. according TO
the official announcement. be received up
to May 10th. Ten days will probably be
needed by the committee to examine the
designs submitted. and make contract
with the successful bidder. and IL so
not until the LIST OF June can the work
of excavation at Monroe Park be begun.
Indeed, to begin 1t by June list will re-
quire great haste. Then the wall in
which the cornerstone is to be laid must
be built ETC., etc.
Unless our people wish to have the
cornerstone laying mere sham they
will have to content themselves with the
present date for the reunion-viz.. June
SOth, and July LIST and I'd. Besides. the
present date is that which is desired by
the veterans of the Transmississippi De-
partment. Furthermore, we shall have
all the "rush-work' that we want to get
the auditorium enlarged, and its de-
plorably defective acoustics corrected by
June Goth.
Still further. we venture to say that
not few OF the southern railroad COM
panies have already had a good deal Of
their poster and circular printing done
with reference to the June-July date.
So we think that change Of date ie
impracticable, and we fear that 1t might
lead to confusion.

Professor Joseph s. Ames. OF the
Johns Hopkins University. delivered In
Baltimore on Monday night lecture
on the subject of the famous X-rays
discovered by Professor Roentgen. OF
wurzburg, Germany. The Sun reports
as follows:
An Associated Press dispatch from New
York last night states that Nicola
Tesla, the distinguished electrical IN
vestigator, has contributed to the forth
coming No. Of the Electrical Review
G. communication giving the results OF
his experiments with the Roentgen rays.
Mr.. Tesla began his experiments WITHIN
an hour after Professor Roentgen
discovery was cabled to this country.
Two words used by Mr.. Teisa are
"radiography" and the companion-word
"radiograph," for the pictures obtaaneo
from using the process.
In connection with Mr.. Teisa's COM
munication the Electrical Review prints
two remarkable photographs. one OIL
these shows the right shoulder OF man
taken through his clothing, plate OF
class three-sixteenths of an inch thick
and two inches of wood. This radio
graph. which was made four feet from
the source of the X-rays, shows tne
ribs. shouIder-bones, and bones OF the
upper arm.
The other radiograph shows copper
wire bent to form the word 'Roentgen,
and was made eleven feet from the wood
on slide covering the sensitized plate.
Mr. Tesla has also secured photographs
showing the bony structure OF birds ana
rabbits. even to the hollows OF the
bones. A Photograph OF a rabbit aiter
an hours exposure shows not only every
detail of the skeleton, but also clear
outline of the abdominal cavity, location
of the lungs. and the fur.
In another instance an exposure OF
forty minutes gave a radiograph OF the
human skull, showing clearly not only
the outline, but the cavities OF the eye
chin. cheek, nasal bones, the lower
law. and connection with the upper one.
the flesh. and even the hair.
In the presence Of such discoveries the
boldest OF investigators may venture to
hope for success.

National politics are beginning to civine
attention with the war speeches OF Sena-
tors and Representatives Soon. fndeeo'
unless serious International compiica-
tion arises. the bcilicose gatherings OF
congressman will be side-tracked by news
papers for more interesting matter.
The senatorial situation in Kentucky
has become acute. and there Is race
between the Kentucky House ana sen-
ate to see which can unseat the more oppo-
sition members. Meanwhile the joint as
sembly is threatened by the popuiace OF
Frankfort.
All this makes very spicy reading. AND
then the political world has all at once
become very much interested In the 90

delegates to tho National Republican
Convention. and has made some headway
In New England and in the West. In

Reed, he sticks to his post OF duty at
Washington. and is a busy II not happy
man. His double-edged humor has iert
him. and he has become a serious man.
There Is no proof. however. that the peo-
pie look upon his presidential aspirations
seriously.
The Virginia Republicans. who are pref

man Lamb Is not on the side of McKin-

publicans.
Mckinley Is credited with having a
"barl' for use in connection with the
nominating convention, and is said to have
many more "barls'' in reserve-all pro-
vided by the manufacturers Of the
North-should he be nominated at st.
Louis. So the Ohio man seems to be far
ahead of all competitors for the Republi-
can nomination; but 1t is admitted that

And following close upon the heels Of
the National Republican Convention will
come the National Democratic Conven-

: ruEKAysAs PLATFORM.

It is telegraphed from Kansas to the
whole country that, owing to a vast DIFF
ference of opinion within the Republic
can party, no platform was made by
the late Republican State Convention
this body agreeing to accept the ma
tional platform when it is made. SO the
Kansas Republicans do not know what
they want on the money question until
they hear from the Republican bosses.
Yet, strange to say. they declared IN
favor of a protective tariff. They also
came out for Mckinley for President
of the United States. thinking that ne
would be supported by good many
Democrats. The Dispatch has often
and as long ago as when Mckinley ran
for Governor of Ohio-given him credit
for being "a most proper man" to be
Republican President, but has never even
so much as limited that 1t would sup
port him over the worst OF Democrats
(conceding that there are any bad Demo-
crats).

UIickory On. CO. Press and Carolinian)
Rev. James A. Weston has returned 70
Hickory from Kentucky. near Louisville,
where he went to see and met and talked
with the son OF Marshal Ney, OF France
who was Napoleon's "Brayest OF the
Brave" and who was Peter Stuart Ney'
the school-teacher Of South and North
Carolina, buried In Rowan county, N. c.
He found the old gentleman. who was IS
years old on the 18th of February. In per-
feet health. He came to North Carolina
in 1897 and met his father. who gave
him 5000 and sent him to Philadelphia,
Pa, and there he entered Jefferson Medi-
cal College and graduated In medicine.
He, however, went under an assumed
name, which Is a long one. He mas a
written history, which he has consigned
to Rev. Major Weston, who will not d.
vulge any Of the particulars about 1t.
They are not to be divulged until after
the death OF the old gentleman.
This makes the connecting Ink certain
and sure that Peter Stuart Ney was real
ly Marshal Ney! The old gentleman says
his father called, for few minutes. at

after he was supposed to have been shot.
The old gentleman himself seems to be
involved I'm some sort Of international
complication between the United States
and Mexico, and hence he will not even
now allow his identity to be known. He
was in the Mexican war; He had Major
Weston's book on Historic Doubts as TO
the Execution OF Marshal Ney" In his
library and had read It, He,received Rev.
Major Weston very cordially when he
learned who he was, and then subse-
quently talked with him freely, but not
over freely He held back much, and told
him he would learn it all from his manu-
script after he died. Rev. Mr.. Weston
says the old man Is the perfect image OF
the published pictures of Marshal
Ney, and he never had such piercing
glance from a mans eye in all his life
as he had from this man when he pre-
scented himself and his credentials. Mr..
Weston has just returned from Kentucky,
and talked with the editor of the Press
and Carolinan about the matter.
