The Confederate Reunion.
Daily Item

1 UdllV ltem
The reunion of the Confederate
veterans has come and gone and
twenty thousands "rebs'' gre to-
day speeding to their homes with
their minds filled with the most
delightful recollections of recent
experiences. In Atlanta, as in
every Southern city, there was a
perfect plethora of hospitality.
The old fighters were honored
with the unremitting attention of
the citizens of the place, and the
Atlanta ladies We'd with each other
in their effort to provide social en-
tertainment for the grey and griz-
zled veterans. 1t was a glorious
time, and the reunion of 1898 will
be remembered as long as the
hearts of its favored participants
continue to beat.
1t was unfortunate that the &C
commodations at Atlanta should
have been 80 limited, but this was
unavoidable. The influx of twen-
ty thousand strangers was more
than the citizens of the place were
prepared for and many of the We
terans had to submit to inconve-
niences during their stay. The
Atlantans were so constant in
their attentions, however, 80 soil
citous of the welfare and comfort
of their guests, that the veterans
had not the heart to complain. 1t
is to be hoped though, that the
city of Charleston, which has Sc
cured the next encampment, will
profit by the lesson taught at At
lanta.
The old vets suffered SO bitterly,
and withal so uncomplainingly in
the long ago that they are entitled
to comfort now. The rising gen.
GRAFTON, the sons and grandsons of
those hardy and valiant men, owe
it to themselves to see that their |
grey hairs 60 down in happiness
to the grave. They have played
their part in life's great tragedy;
they must have rest and comfort
and contentment now.

Sacred Rights Lost.

A Natchitoches paper does not
take a very hopeful view of the
new jury system. Listen to the
complaint:
The recent jury term of the dis
trict court held here discloses
some of the encroachments of that
wretched farce-the constitutional
convention-the most sacred rights
of the people.
The grand jury has been cut
down from 16 members to IL, and
it has been stripped of the great
bulk of the power, which has been
transferred to the district attor-
ney. Here in Natchitoches where
1T never before sat less than two
weeks sometimes four, it finished
up last week in less than one. 80
much of its former work was done
by the district attorney.
The petit jury had little to do
the first week of court-a iury of
i've being used in few cases, but
none In most-and this week il
was discharged on Monday morn

 ation.

About sixty members were present and the meeting was called to order by the president, pr. Frank w. Wright.

 The dinner was served at p. m.
 Dr. Frank w Wright of this city read a paper on Diagnosis of Some Common Eruptive Fevers'
 Dr. Whiton representing the Hart ford County Medical society and Dr. Curtiss of the Litchfield County society were introduced to the society.
 Dr, M. Mailhouse presented resolu- tions tending to the yearly election of fellows to the state society that were not accepted by the meeting. Dr. Mall house contended that the present sys- tenn of election from the house was not conducive to the best interests of the society, as it allowed politics to take too important part in the management of the society. Dr. Mailhouse wanted the election of fellows to be on a bas S of age, the five fellows to be chosen with regard to priority of admission to the society, running down the list. This system, pr. Mailhouse argued, would give each member a chance' to go to the state meeting, and would be fairer than that now in vogue The resolu- tion was opposed by Dr. Lindsley, Dr. White, Dr. Osborn, pr. Eliot, and was defeated on tke final vote.
 Dr. Mailhouses resolution to put ar end to the custom of presenting retir- ing presidents with an engraved iac- knowledgment of their services was carried by rising vote

MEETING OF ENGINEERS CLUB.
Store Open Evenings.

Paul J. Schlicht of New York Will
 Speak on "A New Process of Combus-
 tion."
 Paul J. Schlicht of New York will deliver lecture before the Engineers club of Yale university this evening in room 37, North Sheffield hall, at p. m. The subject of the lecture will be "A New Process of Combustion
 Mir. Schlicht has discovered that by causing the air for combustion to flow through chimney or flue in direct con- tact with the products of combustion, and in the opposite direction thereto, a much more economical conversion of the heat unit of the fuel can be secured. This is reversal of the old process, and MT. Schlicht has devised novel and ingenious means of carrying out this new process.
 This is the beginning of the third year of the club. An interesting series of papers and lectures is in prospect for the present winter. The club welcomes to it's meeting the resident engineers of the city and all others interested in en- glneering. It also desires it's active CO., operation with view of increasing the variety and usefulness of it's meetings.

 Commissioners.
 Boston, Oct. 27.-The railroad com .missioners to-day handed down deci- sion on the fatal collision at Whitten- den Junction, on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, which occurred on September 6. They find that the engineer of the first or Mans field train was principally responsible for the accident in not following the signals.
 All persons on the rear train from Whittenden Junction are exonerated. The tower man is blamed because he did not obey instructions to allow the Mansfield train to go on ahead of the Whittenden train. but his responsibility is slight.

WHAT Is A CHRISTIAN &?

"Christ did not come TO cramp any one =
manhood: He camo TO broaden It," writes
the Rev. John Watson, ID. d., (''Ian Mac

In the January Ladies Home Journal HE
did not come TO destroy our manhood; He
came 10 fulfil il. A thoroughgoing Christian
is man with "a stronger reason, kinder heart,
flrmer viii and richer imagination than his
feiow-one who has attained to his height in
Christ. A bigot, or prig, or weakling is
n balf-developed Christian, one not yet ar
rived at full age.
"whst ought a Christian TO read7 Ever
book which feeds the intellect. Where ought
he to gop Every place where the moral
atmosphere is pure and bracing. What ought
he TO do9 Everything that will make char.
acter. Religion is not negative, giving up
this or that but positive, getting and a
possessing II man will be content with
nothing but the best thought, best work, best
friends, best environment, he need not
trouble about: avoiding the worst. The good
drives out the bad. There are two ways Of
lighting "a dark room; one is to attack the
darkness with candles; the other is to open
the shutters and let in the light. When light
comes darkness goes. There are two ways Of
forming character one is TO conquer Jour
sins, the other is TO cultivate the opposite
virtues. The latter plan is best because IL is
surest-the virtue replaces the sin.
Christianity is not drill; 1t il life, FULL
free, radiant and rejoicing. What Young
man should do is not to vex himself about his
imperfection, but 20 fix his mind on tho
bright image OF Perfection; not to weary his
soul with rules, but To live with Christ a.
one liveth with friend. There is way
to complete manhood, and that is, fellowship
with Jesns Christ.
