The suggestion that reproduction
of Pckett's famous charge Al Gettys

battle at the Georgia State Fair has
elected from the Generals widow,
Mrs. Lasalle Corbell Pickett, a letter
of protest, which she sends to the
Washington Post. After speaking
of the great suspense and anguish
with which the people of both North
and South awaited the decision of
" those three most awful days in his.
tory" Mrs. Pickett says
To the whole nation that past is
sacred. The tears of the widows and
the orphans left by those terrible
days bave scslded their way through
the life of the country. To the spot
where Reynolds fell in the dawn of
the great battle the North turns with
sorrow and with love. BY the sacred
place where our noble Armistead 4,
with his hand on the enemy's gun,
went home to meet the warrior s
God, we of the South stand with rev
erent feet and souls filed with solemn
awe.
To those of us for whom the
wounds of Gettysburg yet bleed, the
suggestion of mimic representation
of that great struggle brings chill
Of horror. Those of us to whom the
life blood which nourishes the daisies

Will Tour the World.

Mr.. Alfred G.. Vanderbilt began
his tour of the world just before noon
on Tuesday last, when he left the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, at Newport,
Rhode Island, where be expects to
flush his trip fourteen weeks hence.
Young Vanderbilt's departure was
quiet, as all those interested in him
wished it should be.
There was a family gathering for
breakfast at the Breakers, then a
word or two of goodbye, and Mr.. AL
fred Vanderbilt, with Mr.. W. Fitz-
hugh Whitehouse, Jr., got into 8
light trap and drove to the yacht
club landing, where they boarded
Mr.. Elbrdge T. Gerry's yacht the
Electra. Mr.. Robert l.. Gerry soon
Joined them, with Mr.. Potter Pal
mer, Jr.. and on the swift yacht pu
out of the harbor at noon bound for
New York, where his companions
will see Mr.. Vanderbilt off.
Friends sent flowers down to the
Yacht for Mr.. Vanderbilt and Mr..
Whitehouse, but special efforts were
made to keep the start free from
anything that would tend to make it
seem more than departure upon an
ordinary run to London or Paris.
In New York, Mr.. Ernest Iselin,
Jr.. Columbia, '9S, son of Mr.. Adrian
Iselin, Jr., Mr.. William P. Burden,
son of Mr.. James A Burden. and Mr..
Douglass Cochran, Harvard. 80, who
was a classmate of Mr.. Burden, will
meet Mr.. Vanderbilt and unless the
party be changed before the train
starts, will accompany him on his
tour, which was planned by the
young men some time ago. and sane

rounding out their education.
Their friends say that the travellers
have some plans for hunting big
game in Africa and elsewhere, but
the older cottagers assert that any
such hazardous proceeding has been
forbidden by their parents.
They will travel by private car over
the Grand Central road to Montreal.
Thence, by the Canadian Pacific

Senator Elkin's Emphatic Words in
Secretary Alger's Behalf.

Secretary Alger," said Senator
Elkins, of West Virginia, who was
Secretary of War under the Harrison
administration, speaking to Wash
iugton Post reporter, " was Secretary
of War during the conduct of the
most successful war in the history of
the United States. 1t achieved the
greatest results in the shortest posi-
BILE space of time. It's quick and vic
torious conclusion, while he was at
the head of his department, is fact
that stands out most prominently and
cannot be disputed. Of course, there
we're mistakes. There are always
mistakes, but in this particular war
the mistakes were infnitesimal com.
pared with the great results that
we're accomplished.
Secretary Alger," continued the
Senator, speaking deliberately and
with emphasis, " has been compelled
to endure series of undeserved,
not to say brutal, assaults. He did
not deserve the harsh things which
were said of him, but he bore them
bravely, standing manfully under the
abuse which might otherwise have
been thrown at the President. Time
will viudicate him. There will be a
reaction in his favor.
say these things all the more
readily because Secretary Alger and
have not been in the same way of
thinking in our party. am no apol.
ogist for him. / do not want to be
drawn into any controversy, but l
hope | may never hesitate to do JUS
tice to any man."
