Great Day for Veterans. .

In some respects the most striking
feature of Peace Jubilee Week Mt the
Exposition, at Omaha, will be the
friendly meeting of the Blue and the
Gray on "North and South Handshal-
ing Day." October 18th, and on army
and Navy Day" and Veteran Soldiers
Day. October 13th, Great efforts have
been made to secure large attendance
Of federal and confederate veterans for
this occasion, and there is no doubt
that the gathering will be one of the
most memora BILE of it's kind in the his
tory of the country. The Grand Army
of the Republic through it's command
er-in-chief, the Women's Relief Corps,
through it's national president, and the
Daughters of the Confederacy, through
their national president, have been in
vited to be present and the invitations
have been given very WIDE publicity.
A number of prominent speakers have
accepted invitations to deliver address
es at camp fires to be held morning
and evening of the two days named.
1t will be fitting accompaniment to
the celebration over the close of the
war of 1898 that the men who bore the
brunt of the fight in the early sixties
shall stand upon the same platform
and address the participants in that
great struggle.

The oldest newspaper in the world
is the Tsing-Pao, or Pekiug News,
founded in the year no A. d. Until
quite recently it was supposed that
the Kin-Pan, Chinese journal pub

was the oldesr newspaper in the world.
In a very able work recently published,

N fore she reaches her destination-i1

to make herself comfortable and tc
thoroughly enjoy her little rub ur

n, But although she rests secure in a
delightful feeling of safety, it has
never occurred to the general woman
that making her to travel in safety"
is business all in itself.
She may have heard, for example,

Railroad is the only route in the Unit

mean anything to her until you ex-
plain that by this system every foot
over which she travels is carefully and
increasingly watched and signalled day
and night, and that collision is prac-
ticalfy impossible, because train can
not enter given DOCK or SecClOn uR-
til the train ahead has passed out, and
that even if there should be another
train following on the same track the
engineer knows all about it through
the electric telegraph. which is part
OF the system, thus making assurance
doubly sure.
If the lone woman happens to be
going to New York City she need have
no dread of landing alone in the con.
fusion of big. strange place if she
travels by the New York Central. All
she has to do is to speak to one of the
red-capped attendants-frees service
who will carry her bag, answer her
questions and show her to cab, car OF

is the only railroad depot in all New
York City.
