features Of the reunion today were
the addresses delivered in tho con-
vention hall by Generals Hampton
and Wheeler. The formers speech
was entirely impromptu, the occasion
for it being the presentation by him,
in behalf Of the ladies of Charleston,
Of a handsome Confederate battle
flag to the U. G. Y.
GcneralWhreler spoke by appoint
mont. His address was to havo been
delivered at the session yesterday,
but was postponed till today. Its
delivery required over an hour, and
it was largely historical. There
were few references to current events.
aud such as were made were not very
striking.
TO each Of these spc,kcrs a roy al
W lcomo was accorded. Hampton
wus chcercd to the echo and tho del.

cnraing the Confederate dead. They
simply affirm the couvcnion's rccog-

lennited. They wara referred TO Il
committees and now it looks very
mu.h as if they were going to cause
trouble. a good many Delegates cp-

however, that there are essential differ

Indication thar in the principles involved
1t cannot be said that tho American
delegates go to the conference with any
strong expectations that their own scheme
~orsecuring the adjustment of disputes by
arbitration, or, indeed, any project Of the
kind, will secure the adhesion ofthe entire
conference, or even a majority OF the
delegates. But they nre content to plant
the seed and make a beginning, which 1t is
hoped by the President and Secretary Hay
will nave substantial results in the end.
The American delegates go committed to
this arbitration project much more strong
ly than to anything else likely to figure be-
fore the conference. Regarding disarma-
ment, their instructions are to tell the con-
ference that the present armament of the
United States, and any within the posi-
billties OF the future, are SO far below the
present minimum ornaments with which
any of the great powers Of Europe are like
ly to be content that there is really no rea-
son why the United States should be called
into the agreement.
Other points upon which the delegates
have been instructed are the exemption

An he wanted a girl wild a fortune.
Mamie was gray-cycd an, Mamie was tall,
Fair was the face hid in-undber her shawl,
Troth an he liked her the best o them all
But she'd not n traneen to her fortune.
He began to look out for a likclier match,
So he married a girl that was counted q
catch,
An as ugly as need be, the dark little
patch
But that was a thriae, he tould her.
She brought him her good-lookin' gould to
admire,
She brought him her good-looktng cows to
his byre.
But fur from good-lookln' she sat by his
fire
And paid him that 'thrino" he tould her.
He met pretty Nan when q month had gone
by,
And he thought like a fool to get round her
he'd try;
Wild a smile on her lip an a spark in her
eye
She said, "How is the woman that owns

Och, never be tellin' the life that he's ledl

rrades.unions Promote Temperance.

Employees have special interests, apart
from the desire to retain their places and
earn good wages, which make for temper
nnce, says Henry W. Farnam, In the Allan
tic. The development OF labor organiza-
tons. and the increase in their power
and responsibilities, has given them a
strong incentive to watch the habits Of
their members. A great change has taken
place in their practice in this respect. In
The early part OF the century drinking was
Incorporated in the rules and regulations
of some of tho societies as a regular insti-
tuition: the place OF meeting was commonly
in q public house; the rations Of grog
were a privilege, the withdrawal OF which
might involve n strike. But the unions
can no longer afford to subject their mem.
bers to this temptation. Tn magnitude
of their financial operations necessitates
the election Of temperatemen to the higher
offices, while the development of an elab-
crate system of insurance benefits gives
each member u direct interest In the So
briefly of his fellows. No member of a
union likes to see his contributions, labori-
Ously saved from small earnings, squan-
dered in tue support of Il drinking fellow
member.
The importance Of conciliating public
opinion during strikes furnishes another
powerful motive for maintaining temper
anee in the unions. The result Is thas al
ready many bylaws and rules of our larger
unions contain special clauses intoxicating
moderation. In some cases no steps are to
be taken TO reinstate a man discharged on
account Of drunkenness; in other cases a
man is excluded from the union who en-
cages in the liquor trafie; in still others
men are fined who attend meetings in an
intoxicated condition, while in very many
eases any person who loses his work, falls
sick, or meets with an accident on account
Of the use OF liquor is excluded from the
benefits which he would otherwise enjoy.
The Importance of this interest is recog-
nized by many trade-union leaders, such
as John Burns, who himself is 4 teetotaler.
Samuel Gompers, and others. Mr.. Com
pers, tho President of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor. in Il letter to the writer.

President expressed himself very sti ongly
IN his last message to Congress, and the
delegates go charged to give practical ef-
feet to these views. AS to the Red Cross
extension, both the United States and Spain
during the recent war Voluntarily agreed
to apply the Red Cross rules at sea.

lates to the amelioration Of the .horrors
Of war, and with this, too, the American

SANG ROCK OF AGES" FOR HOURS
In the Meantime a Rescue Party Was Dig
cling For the Singer,

Eihg u II FlhiNs
There comes from London the account Of
n remarkable. rescue Of a man Mt Bright
iingsea from the bottom Of a we'll. Samuel
Webb was at work in a well forty feet
deep, when the sides caved in. The earth
did not bury him, but SO closed the we'll
above him that he was in dire peril.
A force Of rescuers began work immedi-
ately. TO dig in the we'll meant to throw
down the earth upon Webb and kill him
instantly. Therefore the rescue party dug
4 shaft beside the well and then a cross
cut, supporting the roof with beams 50
that a second cave could not endanger
Webb and the men at work.
When the rescue party began work Webb
began to sing Crock of Ages, . n he con-
tinued to repeat this hymn for seven
hours, the length of time the men were at
work digging the shalt and making the
cross-cut.
His voice was very faint when he vas
lifted from his cramped position at the
bottom OF the well, and he was seriously
hurt by the rocks and earth that fell upon
him.
