them could rise, not as disembodied
spirits, but in the sentient flesh and
blood which they wore when they went
hence, they would rejoice as we do that
the hopes of both have been at last full
filled, and that the confederacy, sWal-
lowed up by the union, lives again IN
American manhood and brotherhood
such as were contemplated by the max
ers of the republic.
s"To those of us who were the COM
rades and contemporaries OF the dead
that are buried here, who survived the
ordeal of battle and who live to bless
the day, there is nothing either strange
or unnatural in this, because we nave
seen it coming for a long time; we nave
seen it coming in the kinship OF ties
even as close as those of common
country; in the robust intercourse of
the forum and the market-place; in the
sacred interchanges Of the domestic al
fections but, above all, in the prattIe
of children who cannot distinguish be-
tween the grandfather who wore the
blue and the grandfather who wore the
gray.
cit is required of no man-whichever
flag he served under-that he make any
remuneration shameful to himself, and
therefore dishonoring to these grand
children, and each may safely leave to
history the casting of the balance be-
tween antagonistic schools OF thought
and opposing camps in action, where
the essentials of fidelity and courage
were so amply met. Nor is 1t the part
of wisdom to regret tale that is tod.
The issues that evoked the strife OF
sections are dead issues. The conflict,
which was thought to be irrecOncilable
and was certainly inevitable, ended
more than thirty years ago. 1t was
fought to it's bloody conclusion by fear
less and honest men. To some the re-
suit was logical-tO others it was dis
appointing-to all it was final. AS no
man disputes it, let no man deplore it.
Let us the rather believe that it was
needful to make us nation. Let US
the rather look upon it as into a mir
ror, seeing not the desOlation of tue
| past, but the radiance of the future;
and in the heroes of the new north and
the new south who contested in gener-
Gus rivalry up the ire-swept steep OF
Ell Caney, and side by side re-embla2-
oned the national character in the wa
| tiers about CorregidOr island and under
| the walls of Cavite, let us behold host
ages for the old north and the old
south blent together in a union that
knows neither point Of the compass
and has flung its geography into The
sea.
Great as were the issues we have
put behind us forever, yet greater is
sues still rise dimly upon the view.
Who shall fathom them? Who shall
forecast them? l seek not to lift the
vail ON what may lie beyond. It is

May BIZ INTERNATIONAL war
Which Side Will United States
Take in Great Struggle?
A SAD DAY FOR THIS COUNTRY
Prediction That We VIII Get
Out of the Screpe.
A Startling Statement Made in an Address
delivered In Chicago Sunday Evening by
DIR. Il. Benjamin Andrews, Who Formerly
Was President of Brown UniversIty.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 1s.-"If Great
Britain is ultimately successful in
South Africa the Powers of the world
will unite to resist her advance. A
coalition will be formed against British
domination; and wher this war of the
nations comes, which side will the
United States take? We must take
one side or the other. That will be a
sad day for our nation. Yet say we
have never gotten into scrape that
we did not get out of, and, as
prophetic American, / tell you we
never shall.''
.'The foregoing statement was made
by DR.. E. Beniarlin Andrews, formerly
president of Brown University and now
Superintendent of the Chicago public
schools, in his address, on THE War
in South Africa, at the Bethel African
Methodist Episcopal Church last even
ing. Ihe occasion was the mems Sun
day forum meeting, and DIR. Andrews
startled his hearers by the declaration
that the international war was in
evitable, and would follow the success
of Great Britain in the Boer War. He
annnunced that, from the moment
Kruger's followers surrendered, Eng
land necessai lily would come in conflict
with other Powers in carrying out her
plans of colonization. He declared that
clashes would follow the attempt to
build the Cape to Cairo railroad, and
that the contemplated effort of Great
Britain to build o railroad from the
Suez Canal to bombay, which would
give that nation direct means of
throwing munitions of war into the
lands about the headwaters OF the
Eurhrates, would be resisted.

Oliver Dean Commits Suicide by Taking
Rough on Rats.

Oliver Dean Commits Suicide by Taking
Rough on Rats.
Oliver Dean, aged about 30 years,
attempted to commit suicide on Satur-
day night, at his residence, No. 3Os
Monroe street, by taking Rough on
Rats, and died Sunday at the Homno-
rathic Hospital. His wife died about
a year ago and he had been brooding
over family troubles and was melan-
choly. He went deliberately about the
work of self-destruction and after he
had drank a solution of the poison
calmly informed his mother of what he
had done.
Mrs. Dean lost no time in summon
ing DR.. j. Harvey Spruance and just
as the latter entered the house Dean
attempted to swallow another dose,
but was prevented from doing SO by
the physician. The latter wanted to
administer an emetic, but Dean would
not take it. evidently being determined
to end bis life as quickly as possible.
The police were notified and Officers
Harry Hawke and John A. Conner
had Dean sent to the police station.
DIR. Spruance accompanied him and at
the stationhouse used the stomach
pump with good effect. Before the
pump could be used, however, it was
necessary for the police to subdue
Dean by force. After he had been
pumped out he was sent to the
homeopathic Hospital, by direction
of Police Surgeon Harris. Death oc-
Cured about O'Clock Sunday morn
ing.
1t is said that Dean had his spine
injured when he was about l6 years OF
age and his actions on several occasions
since that time were such as to oc-
casion alarm. @

David Klund, a mptorman OF the
Eighth street line of the City Rail
way. had an experience Monday morning
that he will remember for some time.
His car was speeding east on Eighth
street, while q dense fog was hanging
over the city, when he saw woman
bareheaded and barefooted standing
between The railway tracks and gesticu.
lating wildly. In order to prevent the
car from running over her it was neces-
sary to gather all possible power to
stop the car. The brakes we're ap-
piled, and the car stopped within a
few feet of where she stood. She then
entered the car and lay down. The
car men elected her and presently q
man, hatless and coatless, ran down
the street and secured the woman and
took her home.

TO Prevent serious Fire.

TO Prevent a serious Fire.
Frank Sidney, who keeps the store
at Fieldsboio, ON the old State road
below Odessa, can thank his lucky
stars that cat, which ho adopted
scms months ago, Was possessed of
more than usual feline intelligence.
Last Friday night Sidney was
awakened by tho cat walking across
his bed, and moving most mournfully,
to find that the store vas on fire.
The smoke filled his bed room, which
was directly overhead, and he was
barely able tc find his way to win
dow and fire off his revolver as an
alarm to the neighbors The after
responded quickly and after a half
hours hard work succeeded in putting
out the flames, but not before the
entire stock was ruined by smoke and
water. Tho loss was amply covered by
insurance. There is no doubt but that
the warning of the cat prevented a
much more serious fire, and probably
saved The life of Mr.. Sidney.
