OFFERED A GRAVE IN HOLLYWOOD
Pickett Camp Tenders Spot for
Major Piclsett's Resting-Piace.

AT the meeting Of Pickett Camp of
Confederate Veterans last night resolu-
tons regarding the death Of Major Charles
Pickett formerly assistant adjutant-gen-
eral Of Pickett's Division, were adopted
and the camp offered TO the family OF the
dead veteran a restng-place for him near
his brother IN the camps section at HOl-
lywood. The resolutions were as follows:
IL Is with profound regret that this
camp has been informed OF the death OF
their comraGc. Major Charles Pickett.
Major Pickett was the assistant adjutant-
general Of Picketts Division, a brave SOL
der. and a good and true man.
Resolved, That we extend TO his family
our heartfelt sympathy and that we offer
10 them a resting-place for his remains
near his brother, General George d.
Pickett.
rades c. r. Loehr. =. i. Stratton. S. U.
Grimsley and =. l.. Winston.
Colonel X. +. Morris read a notice Of
the death Of Judge Samuel Wyclim Mel
ton who was assistant ad1utant-general
on the staff of General c. w. Smith. Fol-
lowing the reading of the notice Colonel
Morris took occasion TO make some very
severe structures upon the administration
of the Confederate Government, and in
very plain terms attacked President JEFF
ferson Davis.
Captain j. Il. Sullivan gave some de-
scription of the First battle Of Manassas,
and then COmrade Robert Mortimer maze
a very earnest plea for peace, asking That
all bygones be regarded as bygones, and
paying a high tribute to the character
of Mr.. Davis.
CAPTAIN j. Y. Sullivan, in a very spirited
speech. defended Mr.. Davis. and while
he did not endorse everything in the
character Of Mr.. Davis, he said he thought
he was a good man and great one, and
that TO him was due in large measure the
splendid stand which the Confederacy
made against the Federal Government.
"When the war began" said Captain Sui
liVan. I'VE had no army, we had no navy,
we had no government. But we got them
all. and we made a stand such as the world
never saw" Captain Sullivan spoke OF
how the South, which was not a nation,
the world said had stood against the
great United States for four years. Spain
could not withstand a very small portion
Of the countrys strength for four months.
Comrades Northen and Gibbs each call
ed the attention of the camp 10 the tact
that General Joe Wheeler, an eX-Confede-
rate, had saved the day at Santiago, and
Admiral Schley. Marylander had been
the chief actor on the American side in
the destruction OF the Spanish fleet.
Colonel Morris dsclaimed all intention
of arousng bitterness by the discussion
OF matters Of the dead and gone past, and
the discussion was dropped and the camp
adjourned

ORGANIZE INTO A CHURCH.
Persons who Went Out from Grove
Avenue Form Such N Body.

Some Of the persons who recently WITH
drew from Grove-Avenue Baptist church
held a meeting at Monroe Hall, opposite
Monroe Park Sunday afternoon and Or
ganized themselves into a Baptist church.
Rev. DR.. Hiden preached for those VINO
had gathered at the hall previous to the
business meeting.
The action taken by those present was
unanimous, though not all those who
withdrew from Grove-AVenue joined the
new church. 1t was decided TO ask the
Baptist ministers Of the city and through
them the Baptist people. TO recognize
them as church and give them moral
support. The large majority OF the mem
bers Of the new church are ladies'. Very
few people thought a church would be
organized by those who severed their
connection with Grove-Avenue. one
gentleman who was Of the number said
yesterday he did not join the new
church because he thought the organi-
cation Of a church and all that II i'm
piled too serious a matter to be under
taken hastily. The expenses Of church.
he remarked, are great He thought the
burden Of expense would fall very heavi-
lv upon those who Sunday bound them
selves together as a church.
There has been some tax or the olu
All-Saints church being bought.
The usual Sunday-school was held at
Monroe Hall Sunday morning, and there
were about ninety persons present.

ment's shortcomings were ridculed and
condemned. and the virtues OF the present
administration extolled served 10 keep
the audience fully amused and interested.
The affirmative had the sympathies of
the audience almost from the start, and
