Commander Porter Tells of the
Lancaster Veterans at the
Reunion.

Mr.. EDIToR:-April 9th, 1865
will never be forgotten as the day
on which Lee Surrendered. Nav
9th, 1899 will long live in the
memory of those who attended
the L. G. V. ut Charleston.
Shortly after 10 o clock. the train
arrived at Lancaster. One by
one they kept coming until Ian
caster county had a very good re-
presentation
Just before leaving the depot,
the Dixie Camp was formed in
line and beautiful banner was
presented in a few appropriate
words by Hon w & Hough, in
behalf of its donor, Miss Clara
Barrett, who is sponsor for Camp
Dixie. The banner was then
placed in the hands of veteran S
+ Usher. All then boarded the
train and our journey began.
WheD we reached Kershaw we
were Joined by Commander Jas
V Welsh of Kershaw Camp, Col
Hough, Capt Hamel and others.
After reaching Charleston the
survivors were formed in line with
instructions to await orders. Soon
Capt Welsh, Col Hough and Com
mander Porter returned with or
ders to go in camp.
The line Of march was formed.
Something over two miles distance
to 60. To my surprise the old
veterans could keep the step as
we'll as in days gone by.
Quarters reached each man was
gwen a nice cot, blanket, fresh
water and clean towels.
Next morning we rose early
and marched to a place fitted up
as a hotel; it seated twelve hun
dred. There we were we'll fed
and well treated. This hotel was
in charge of Capt White, a kind
hearted, noble veteran. Break.
fast over, the line of march was
again begun-going to headquar-
ters for the purpose of getting
badges. On account of the i'm
mense crowd, the work was neces-
sarily slow.
The grand parade was begun at
three o'clock. The veterans of
each state were formed in divi-
sions, each county to itself. Ian.
casters place in the grand march
was our right resting ON Marion's
left.
The Marion Camp carried
beautiful banner, showing the
picture Of fox, indicating the
cunning of Gen Marion for whom
the county was named.
AS the veterans began TO pass
in review, with the sponsors in
carriages, the cheering began.
A certain beautiful banner bear
ing the inscription:

She certainly was well dressed, but her figure was not shown to the best advantage. It was a great pity, but she really wasn't to blame. She had not heard that Nicholson was making ladies suits to oTdsr. He does, though, and they fit beautifully. Nicholson employs a ladies' tailor and will hereafter make ladies' tailoring an important part of his business. At this time of the year duck and crash suits are the things. Half the wsar- ing is in the making. All ladies Know that If Nicholson makes your suit it will look better, fit better and wear longer than under any other circum- stances.

CARE or COLONIES
PrOpo-e ed Establishment Of an Ex-
 ecufiVe Department.

Washington, June BOA cabinet off
 cer was asked by reporter today
 about story which has be5n general
 ly published that it is the intention of the administration to recommend to congress the establishments of a new department to be known as the department of colonies and commerce. He said:
 That is something which has not been discussed in the cabinet to any great extent. and ro hing like q decis- ion las been reached. Perhaps the president has studied it and nay have more definite plans, but the cabinet as whole, I think. cannot be said to have considered anything of the kind =
 When asksd for his own views On the subject the cabinet officer replied: ''It is too deep a problem in the sci ence of governmeEt for me to work out. This is something for congress to deal With and decide. and whether the president would make a recommenGa- ton in regard to it I cannot tell. Ger tatn1y the genius of the best 1egisla- tive minds will be taxed in evolving plan for dealing Wi,h the affairs Of the Hawaiian Islands and Porto Rico. to say nothing of the Philippines ard Cuba. In dealing with these matters a plan will have to be agreed upon that w:-l work efficiently and also be consistent with our governmental theory and practice. It is a big quas- tiOn- Just at present almost every thing is under control of the war de partment, but when things get upon a civil l5asis all the customs revenues and the other governmentaI machinery will come under the other depart nlents.'
 \ proposal has been made that new commi.fees be formed in congress for dealing with colonial affai1s. Tire cab inet officer seemed to think that con gressioLal arrangements in this re- gard would ultimately have to go much deeper than the mere esta ablish- ment of committees, desirable as that might be as a preliminary step.
 The uggestion that the president has decided on department of colonies is almost equivalent, it is said. to taking the position that Porto Rico, Hawaii and other possessions shall be regard ed as in the sight of colonies. The president is too wise to commit him self to any such plan. He will more likely wait, 1t is believed, for congress to solve the problems as to these pos sessi0Es and make recommendations as to d new department.

\ PRECIOUS RELIC.

Tie waist belt worn by Napoleon I. on the day of his coronation at Notre Dame is in the pOssesison of q French family living in Paris, and counted among their greatest treasures. This belt is so small that it :S sUspecced the emperor must have had a bad quar- ter of an hour when he wore it. or was Gaally the slender little creature his tory paints him a that age. The relic is composed of crimson velvet. and is starred with chiseled gold eagles. A leIther case ill which it has been con fined has kept the belt ir perfect pre- seEvat,on. This French family cannot be persuaded to relinquish this sou venir to any of the NupoleOnic collec- ti0ns and until now the secret of it's abita tiOr, has been unknown, though it was well understood such a belt had been worn by Napoleon, and that it dis appeared after the coronation. How some girls would like to get hold of that belt to wear with their tail0r-cut shirt waists,-BosFon Herald.

BRITISH WELCOME TO DEWEY
 AT CEYLON.

The Iusty cheers from the threats of English tars and soldiers that greeted Admiral Dewey and the Olympia at CeyICn were not only tributes of ad- miratiOn to q great naval commander but were vOciferOus reminders of that Anglo-Saxon unity of purpose and des- tiny that is bound to be an important factor in shaping the progress of civil izatiOn.

 Over a hundred years ago the rebel li0us subjects of the government that now rules CeyIOn sienllized their dis pleasure with the tyrannical course of King George by dumping d large quantity of tea into Boston harbor On this occasion her majesty's subjects in CeyIOn testified to the complete re- s1Jration of comity and good will by pIt9.ertlng AdmoraI Dewey and his crew with q thousand pounds of tea and silver casket. As a partial re comperee for the tea we were obliged to throw overheard in Bosom harbor because We did not like the stamp dut- ies imposed thereon. the gift to Dewey and his crew will be gratefully regard ed by the American people. It will also be taken as q token of comity and friendship, the good effects of which are destined to outlast the silver casket and tlia chest of tea.
