In both the federal and confederate
armies during the la.e war for the
union, the parade to be headed by the
principal surviving generals and other
officers. The men to march side by side
through the streets of the principal cit,
les North and South. Such demon
stration on the day sacred to our ma
tional patriotic memories would typify
the complete union and reconciliation
OF the two great sections of the country,
and a determination to stand together,
side by side, in all future contests for
the glory and independence of the re-
public. This movement should have
the cordial support and endorsement OF
all interested in the future welfare Of
our country. The men who took part
in the war, who suffered from wounds,
exposure, and the want of every COM
fort which makes life endurable, for
principle, and who have now forsworn
all antagonism, will be the first to step
forward and take part in this public de-
monstration of renewed allegiance to
the flag, that symbol of American citi-
AShohip ou fdHu Scd. ~ COllplSlS Iulo
expression of patriotic feeling, there
should be included in the parade the
soldiers and sailors of the regular army
and navy, members Of the patriotic So
cieties, the Sons of the American Revo-
luton and the veterans of the Mexican
war. We believe that this movement
would be grateful to the shade of the
lamented Lincoln, in whose breast the
sublime virtues of mercy, charity and
love were united with a patriotism
equally lofty and unsullied. The great
exposition at Atlanta of the industries
Of the Cotton States has met with
hearty and gratifying response from all
sections, and has proved how great is
the development and prosperity OF the
South. The immense assembiage OF
people from all over the country at At
lanta has created new sympathies and
established new relationships which
cannot fail to be productive of immense
good. 1t is an inauguration of new
era, which cannot be better supplement-
ed than by such a national demonstra-
ton as the union of the two great arm
les of veterans in national holiday
celebration.

FOR WOMEN ONLY.

The theater bodice grows more elabo-
rate.
Green roses are much seen in big
black velvet hats.
Seal and monogram fans are a fad
among very young women. They are
made by decorating plain white or
light colored fan with the monograms
and seals used by different friends.
The newest fancy laces for trimming
dainty evening toilets and separate
waists for silk and satin, for the win
ter, vie in delicacy and dainty beauty
with the costly hand-wrought designs.
In mending tear in delicate fabrics.
IL ones hair is of the right color, it is
much better to use it in the place of
thread. 1t will make stitches that are
almost invisible and the darn will
scarcely show at ALL
Revers of many of the new waists are
not only bound with braid, but almost
entirely covered with a braided design,
while basques are deliberately braided
and sleeves receive their share of this
trimming. Black and narrow gold
braids are wrought together in effective
design, and silver braid is also used in
combination with black to good advan-
tage. while braided designs showing
two different colors are one Of the nov
elites of the season not to be ignored.
A Partisan fancy in the way of fin
ish to the neck of gown was of black
and white striped ribbon, made first in
to draped collar with large bow in
the back. Then on the other side of
the front were sewed little rutfies of the
ribbon edged with lace-that is to say,
cut your ribbon, such as the collar is
made of, in half, sew on narrow Val
enciennes around the two points, frill 1t
and sew 1t inside your collar 80 that
the two points in front will come a little
back of the chin on each side and stand
up on either side Of the face.

And the voice of shouting thousands

Two soft eyes were turned upon him

Two white arms were flung about him

And voice of thrilling music to his
mutely uttered plea
said, eff only you are, with me, what is
all the rest to me?"
All night long the peoples leader sat
in silence and alone,
Dull of eye, with brain unthinking, for
his heart was turned to stone;
While the hour2 passed all unheeded

ADARK CRIME UNEARTHED.
AN UNFAITHFUL WIFE POISONS
HER HUSBAND.
Then Marries her Paramour Who Had
Also Poisoned his Wife--Both
are in Caldwell Jail

Lenoir, n. c., Jan. 7.--(Special) I'm
the quiet valley of Johns River, few
miles below Blowing Rock, noted for
its good people and happy homes, a
crime has been unearthed that has
shocked the nerves of the community.
Fog Green, an humble, hard-worl1-
ing farmer, with his wife and four
children, lived in their humble home,
happy and contented. During the alb
sence of Green, who made various trips
to Blowing Rock and other places to
sell his products, Albert G. Franklin
invaded that home and by his artifices
gained the affections of Green's wife.
On March 31st, Green returned home
about noon, and after dinner went to
plowing in his field near the house.
Mrs. Green, with n show of great af-
fection, carried n glass of cider to her
husband while he was at work, which
he darnk at her solicitation. In few
minutes the poison took effect and he
made an attempt to get to the house,
but fell on ascending the steps of his
home. Ills wife and children assisted
him to bed, where, in great agony, he
died during the night. A neighbor
was called in just before his death.
and witnessed the awful condition of
the sufferer.
The day after the funeral, Franklin
moved TO the house, which caused con-
siderable suspicion in the neighbor-
hood that Green had been foully dealt
with. % ally this suspicion, six
weeks after Green's death, they were
married.
There were SO many suspicious cir
cumstances in connection with the af-
fair that the solicitor of the district
ordered an examination of the body
by the coroner, assisted by DR.. A. Il.
Houck. This was done in June, the
stomach and 1ntestines taken out
and sealed in the presence of the
coroner and jury. The analysis was
made by an expert in Richmond, who
IL ind enough arsenic in the stomach
to Kill at least two or three men.
rranklin was placed in Jail under
the charge of Illicit distilling, found
guilty, and would have been sent to
hloany by Judge Dick, If he had not
been informed of the more serious
charge. He was imprisoned in the
county Jail under sentence of the
Federal Court, and released last week.
Immediately the sheriff informed
him of his arrest for the murder of
Green, as the result of the chemical
examination was known only by "a
few persons. Franklin was again
placed in jan, and the sheriff immedi-
ately arrested the wife and brought
he~ to Jail. 1t is now rumored that
Franklin's previous wife suffered
and died in similar manner only a
few months before.

ENGLAND MAKING PREPARATIONS
A FlYirg Squadron has Been Formed
for any Emergency.

London, Jan. THE Times this
morning makes the following an
nouncement: Orders have been sent
to Portsmouth, Davenport and Chat
ham for immediate commissioning of
six ships to form IL flying squadron,
the object of which is obviously to
have a squadron ready for any emer-
gency. 1t will be composed Of two
first-class battleships, two first-class
and two second-class cruisers. Prob
ably the Royal Oakland and the Re-
yenge will be chosen.
THE possibility of the commission
ing of such u squadron at "A moments
notice shows that our resources are
better than supposed and is proof that
our naval organization has greatly
improved of late years.
at has also been decided to dis
patch a naval force to Delagoa Bay,
but it is unknown whether it will be
composed of vessels from the Cape or
from the East Indies"
In an editorial the Times hopes that
the Meditiernean feet will be with
drawn from Salonica and ordered else
where and prepared for emergencies.
The Times congratulates the coun-
try upon the foregoing news, and with
reference to a reiteration by its Ber-
lin correspondence of the statement
that Germany had intended to land
marines at Lorenzo Marques for the
invasion of the Transvaal and had
only abandoned the intention on hear
ing of DR.. Jameson's defeat, the

SHORT SESSION OF THE HOUSE
The New Code of Rules VIII be Dis
cussed To-Day.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Another brief
session of the House was held to-day
at which the only important business
transacted was the admission of the
new member from the new State of
Utah, Mr. Allen, and the adoption of
resolutions calling upon the Attorney
General for information concerning
the enforcement of the antitrust law
and for recommend of new legis-
lation on the subject, and on the Sec
retary of the Treasury for statistics
concerning the seal fisheries of the
Bering Sea.
Tomorrow it is expected the House
will take up the discussion of the new
code of rules as the committee expects
TO be able 10 make report by that
time. A resolution was adopted to
pay Anna Waterman, the widow of
John T. Waterman, of Georgia, who
was clerk to Speaker Crisp in the last
Congress, sum equal to six months
salary.
A report made by Mr.. Aldrich( Rep.
of Illinois) chairman of the Committee
on Accounts, recommending the ap-
pointment and release of sundry
minor officials of the House, evoked
warm discussion in which Mr.. John
son, of Indiana, and Mr.. Walker, OF
Massachusetts, both Republicans, at
tackled the alleged combination
which had controlled the appointments
of House officers.
The recommendation of the Com
mittee on Accounts were approved
and at 1915 the House adjourned till
tomorrow.

which DIR. w. j. Leyds, the Secretary

nize any claim of suzerainty over the

Transvaal, had secret fund at his

nization Company with the intention
of introducing 5000 German military

FEELING AGAINST THE EMPEROR
London, Jan. Popular feeling in
favor of DR.. jameson is running very
high in London.
The Times for example says: ''The
march will remain a glorious tradi-
tion for the Anglo-Saxon races
The feeling here against Emperor
William and Germany on account of
the formers dispatch of congratula-
ton TO President Kruger apparently
ignoring the British suzerainty over
the. Transyaal republic, continues
among all classes of people and the
war sentiment against Germany rises
as time passes. Lady Warwick has
written a letter to the Times on the
subject 1t is understood that the

Emperor William is a member Of
several exclusive English clubs, includ-
ing the Royal Yacht Squadron, and in
some of them the demand for his ex-
puIsion is already very loud
Letters have also been published in
the newspapers, demanding that he
resign his Colonelcy in the Royal
Dragons There is no truth in the
story that the British government is
hurriedly drafting troops in India to
go to Capetown. In the first place
there is no necessity, for all the troops
that might be needed could be drafted

colonies instead Of so distant a coun-
try as India.

The Globe then states that the war
Office sent a special military messen-
ger this afternoon to the colonial Office
and that it is rumored important or
ders are impending.
A dispatch received here from the
military camp at Aldershot says that
the general belief, almost backed by
proof, prevails there that the authori-
ties are considering the mobilizing of
the armed reserves and part of the
militia. The men employed in the
ordnance stores are all very busy.
London, Jan. 7.-Sir Hercules Robin
son has telegraphed TO the colonial
Office under date of Pretoria, January
18th, as follows: "The reform commit
tee has resolved to relinquish their
arms to comply with the demands of
the Transvaal government. The
Johannsburgers have placed them
selves unreservedly in my hands, con-
fident that | will see justice done"

such move. But it proves that Ger
man interference was not the result
OF sudden indignation at DR.. Jamcson's
action but had been meditated and dis
eussed and presumably concerted with
the Beers.
Emperor Williams Indignation must
be regarded in the light of diplomats
histrionics. 1t is a tradition of Ger
man policy to prepare a coup secretly
and then to give it an air of coming
about by an unfortunate accident.
There is grave reason TO suspect that

traordinary obstinacy. in refusing

that the finance committee will be able to

the consideration of the measure would

though a report should be secured as
promptly as is hoped by the friends of the

The committee on appropriations will
claim II good share of the time that the
senate will be in session. The urgent dc
ficiency appropriation bill has already
been reported, and the military academy
and pension bills will be put in early in
the week 1t is altogether probable that
all will be disposed of before the week
closes. The Cuban and Monroe doctrine
resolutions are also on the calendar, and
may be taken up at any time.
The important feature of the week 5
proceedings in the house will be in con-
nection with the resolution to censure
Ambassador Bayard and the senate free
coinage substitute for the house bond bill.
The resolution censuring Mr., Bayard will
probably precipitate an exciting contest
on the floor but will doubtless be adopted
when it reaches a vote.
When the free coinage substitute for the
house bond bill is returned to the house
an effort may be made by the silver men
to concur in the substitute. Such an at
tempt would of course, be defeated, as
the majority against silver in the lower
branch of congress is overwhelming, but

that some of the members at each end OF
