Grant and Lee, Rosecrans and Bragg, of
Thomas and Longstreet, OF Wilson and
Forest and Wheeler. Unless all present
signs Of fast growing jealousy of repub-
licau progress on the part of foreign
powers fail and fade, there are veterans
who will take part in it, and be rendered
invincible by the stirring memories OF
this great military decd which their
fathers performed under the stars and
stripes or the battle banner of the south
land.
At the conclusion of General Boyn-
toms address, Hon. Clay Evans, United
States commissioner of pensions, was in
troduced. Mr.. Evans spoke at some
length. He said that the government
at the breaking out of the war made two
distinct contracts with the people, First,
that every dollar advanced for carrying
forward the war for the Unon should
be paid back in the good, hard gold of the
republic. The second engagement was
that the national government would
care for the destitute survivors of it's
armies of the war and for the widows Of
those who fell in battle. Both Of these
promises. he said, the government is now
carrying out faithfully He urged all
to stand for the honor of the republic, to
preserve the great heritage OF freedom
and liberty handed down by Washing
ton, transferred by Abraham Lincoln,
and SO splcndidly exemplitied by that
ruler Of 10000, 900 people, who is greater
than any monarch Of Europe, William
Nc cKinley.
Following Mr.. Evans, Col. Thos J..
Stewart, acknowledgement to Governor
Hastings, and General James w. Latta
of Pittsburg made short addresses.
General John p. Goblin proposed that
instead of speech he would ask the
vast audience to sing America" which
was done with a vim, closing the cere-
monies.
Tonight the veterans enjoyed camp
fire at the city auditorium prepared by
the local G.. A. r. and Confederate vet
Grams. The blue and gray mingled
freely and ate out Of the same haver-
sack. drank from the same canteen, and
told yarns until q late hour.
Eight regimentnl and battery monu-
ments were dedicated by the Pennsyl-
vania veterans during the day.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-On motion
Of Assistant Attorney General Anderson

No representative, OF Durrant was in

One crunch of those Jaws or blow from

nothing; likewise, in dense cover they can
be approached within sprlnging distance
from any side.

A woman worn and wearied by the
