END OF REUNION.
LASTDAyS PROCEEDINGS
OF GREAT VETERANS
REUNION.
GEN. GORDON AND OTHER
OFFICERS REFLECTED.

Charleston, May 12 With a epir-
tied and at times stormy session, the
ninth annual reunion of the United
Confederate veterans was today
brought,to a close. Gen. John B.
Gordon, commander in chief, and all
the old officers were re elected.
Louisville, KY. was chosen as the
next place of meeting. and the ques-
ton of Federal care of Confederate
graves was disposed of by the adop
tion of a sub resolution which de.
clines the presidents suggestion, ex.
cept as to those graves located in the
north, and reserving to the women Of
the south theduty of caring for those
in the seeding States and Maryland.
The adoption of this resolution and
the report that accompanied it pre-
cipitated debate which verged upon
the sensational, and at times much
confusion and disorder prevailed.
The resolution adopted in place of
the one offered by Gen 8. D. Lee
is in full as follows:
"Your committee to whom was re-
fer:ed the resolution introduced by
Gen. S D Lee beg to report the fol
lowing substitute, with recommen
dations of the committee ths: the
same be adopted:
"The United Confederate veterans
in reunion assembled, desire to place
upon record their sincere appreci
alton of the utterances of the presi-
dent of the United States in Atlanta
in December last, concerning the as
sumption of the care of the graves OF
our Confederate dead by the national
government
eve appreciate every kindly senti-
ment expressed, and We shall vel
come any Legislation which shall re.
suit in the care of the graves of our
comrades in the northern States by
our government.
"ln regard to our dead whose re
mains are resting in the states which
were represented in the Confederacy,
and Maryland, the care of their hoal
resting places is sacred trust, dear
to the hearts of southern women, and
we believe chat We can safely let it
there remain"
Several very vigorous speeches
were made in opposition to the whole
principle involved in the matter, but
the final vote upon the resolution was
practically unanimous, and the an
nouncement of it's passage was
cheered
Another incident was the mention
of the southern lyncbiDg question by
Dr.. j L NJ Curry, one of the sur
viving members of the Confederate
congress, who, while denouncing mob
law, defended the south, and declared
her people should see to it that the
record of her future should be as un-
stained as that of her past.

We and They.

The great philosopher, John huskin'
said: s,
eve of the so-called educated
c,asses who take it upon us to be the
better and upper part of the world
cannot understand our relations to the
rest better than we may where actual
life NAV be seen in front of the Shakes
nearian image from the stalls or a
tbeater. l never stand up to rest my
self and look around the house with
ont renewal of wonder how the crowd
in the pit and the shilling gallery allow
us to keep our places. Think OF IT,;
those fellows behind there have housea
and fed us; their wives have washed
our clothes and kept us tidy; they nave
bought us the best places, brought us
through the cold to them, ana there
thew sit behind us, patiently, seeing
and hearing what they may. There
thew mack themselves, squeezed ana
distant behind our chairs. We. their
elect toys and pet puppets, oiled and
vanished and incensed lounge in front
placidly, or, for the greater part, wear
ily and sickly contemplative."

Tho Later Jefferson.

The appeilation of our later Jefer-
son" fits VIM. ]. Bryan perfectly, says
the Mississippi Valley Democrat. He
possesses many OF the most marked
characteristics Of the first and great
est commoner. Like Jefferson, his faith
in the wisdom and justice Of the plain
people amounts almost to an infatua-
ton. He sets up that great mass OF
humanity" as Jefferson expressed it,
and remembers that it was created in
the image of it's Maker-that 1t is the
temple wherein dwelleth the spirit OF
eternal life. The people may go wrong
sometimes, on the spur of the moment
or under the pressure of great excite
ment, but in the end they will do what
is right, because the spirit of justice,
as we'll as the spirit of life, dominates
and inspires them.

When F. D. Underwood left Mime
apolis to come to Baltimore to take
the position of general manager of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad he
brought straw hat and linen duster
expecting to bask in the balmy south
ern breezes that blow up Chesapeake
Bay sometimes. Within ten days after
he took charge two hundred miles Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were
blocked with snow and Baltimore had
a worse blizzard than any one in the
northwest ever experienced. 1t cost
the road about sixty thousand dollars
a day for four days to get the tracks
in condition to resume traffic, but the
officials are very proud Of the fact
that they beat all competitors in get
ting trains through from Pittsburg and
other western points to Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York. All Of
the through trains that were delayed
by the storm were fortunately tied up
at large towns, so that none of the
passengers suffered from hunger or
cold.

Respectfully, Buck F. Taylor.
Winter weather causes catarrh.
Everybody knows this. But everybody
does not stop to think that winter
weather delays the cure of catarrh. 1t
takes longer to cure a case of catarrh
in the winter generally, than in the
warm season. Spring is here. Now is
the time favorable to the treatment OF
old and especially stubborn cases Of
catarrh.

The war taxes were drafted to eaten
the poorer classes. The burden rests
in the proportion of 80 per cent on the
poor and 10 per cent on the rich. These
are not our figures, but those of eX-

the entire cost Of the war with Spain

A young woman was recently asked
by young man to become his wife.
He was bright fellow and was accept
ed in general society because of the
wealth and official position of his
father, but his habits were known to
be bad. There were no evasions in
her answer you tell me-" she said,
"that possess qualities that you must
have in the woman who is your wife.
/ cannot say that have them-but
can speak of habits that do not have,
and that could not accept ina hus-
band who did have them. l do not
smoke. I never swear. I do not in
dulge in wine. I am not in debt. Not
a moment of my nights Is spent with
questionable associates, and my days
are not given to idleness or to walk
ing the streets with silly, unthinking
girls. Most women avoid the indul-
gences l have mentioned, and do not
welcome them in men who ask to be-
come their husbands. AS you have
them, or most Of them, am not will
ing to become your wife. l am sure
nothing but wretchedness could fol-
low from such a union" The answer
was sharp and decisive. 1t is pity
all girls under the same circumstances
are not as frank and sensible.
