GERMAN VETERANS IN CHICAGO.
Great Parade Of Men Who Fought in
Gerniany's Wars.

A Chicago dispatch says that 100 900
German-Amercan citizens participated yes
terday in the celebration incident to the
opening of the fourteenth annual conven-
ton of the krieger Bund and the twenty
fifth annual reunion in America of the
Deutscher krieger Verein. The former in
cludes veterans of the German army and
the latter veterans of the Franco Prussian
war. The day SignaliZed the opening of
the conventions, and the paying of tributes
by Germ anAnericans to the men who
made possible the present greatness of the
German empire.
The pageant was large and imposing
The cordial relations between the German
Americans and their fellow countrymen
We're made manifest in the enthusiastic
cheering that greeted On every hand the
two young women who represented Column
bia and Germania, and in the singing by
multitude at SharpshooterS Park of Ger
man and American national anthems.
The day began with the arrival of trains
bearing delegations from all parts Of the
country. AS each train slowed up at the
stations, committees stepped forward to
welcome the visitors. 1t was not a formal
reception of strangers, but a reunion of old
friends. Many of the arrivals were recog
niZed by members of the committees as
former meSSmateS on the battlefield, and
the welcome extended a hearty one.
Among the visitors were vereinS from st.
Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland. Elgin. MIL
waukee, Dubuque and many other cities.
Tomorrow the business sessions of the con-
venton begin.

BOYHOOD OF DREYFUS.
A Playmate of ahe Captain Tells Of His
school Days.


A special to the Philadelphia Times
from Pittsburg says:
Louis Perrot Pittsburg florist. is prob
ably more interested in the progress of the
izen. His interest arises from the fact that
he was a playmate of Dreyfus in the town
of Mulhouse, Alsace. He, of course. hopes
for the acauittal of his former comrade in
boyish sports. OF Dreyfus he says:
He was very popular. His father was a
dry goods merchant, rich and prominent in
the town. Capt. Dreyfus and l attended
the same school. Then the studies were all
in French. After the war between France
and Germany both French and German

While we were in school as boys we
played such games az. school boys usually
do, and 1t was only during play that I saw
anything of Dreyfus. While the war was
in progress We all wore the red white and

The laws preventing the shipment of game

ket and the eventual determination of the
birds. 1t is fis:dly enforced, and numerous
arrests and confscations were made last
season. 1t is. of course, an unwritten law
of the shooting world that a sportsman
takes his game home, and many are the
schemes contrived for eluding the Wig
lance of the constable. who may or may
not be the first man seen at the station;
and while every shooter does carry his
birds home, he takes his own risk in so
doing.

TO PREVENT SMALLPOX.
AltO0na's Board of Health Adopts
Stringent Preventing Measures.

Stringent Preventive Measures.
Alarmed by the persistent spread of
smallpox in Altoona. Pa, the board of
health has decided to kill all cats and dogs
found in infested houses, to prevent the
ret animals distributing the germs in the
neighborhood. Since the edict has gone
forth the health officers have opened a war
on stray animals such as the city never
saw before. One officer made a record of
thirty dogs in one day last week.
The carcaSSes are carefully gathered up
and burned after the animals are slain.
The board of health considers there is
grave danger of an epidemic of smallpox
during the winter months. There are now
thirteen cases in the city, the largest num-
Der at any one time since the outbreak.

NEGRO WAS ALMOST KILLED.
He Was Trying to Create Trouble.
VaIdOsta CuriOsities.


valdosta, Ga. Nov. ia negro named
Richard Bryant who has a very bad rep
utation among other negroes, attended a
church festival night before last a few
miles west of here, and was an unwel-
come visitor. Efforts were made to get
rid of him, but he refused to be Shaken
off," and a fight ensued. A Winchester
rife was brought into the melee. and three
shots were fired at Bryant, neither of them
taking effect
The man with the rifle then rushed upon
him with the butt end of the rife and gave
him a blow over the head, which brought
him to the floor Bryant lay unconscious
for several hours. and was lamented as
dead but finally aroused, and was brought
here for attention. The blow on his head
cut a cash six inches long and an inch
or so deep, and was enough to have killed
an OK.
negro from Boston came here yester-
day with a freak chicken. He had two
of them, and, instead of feathers, they
wore a coat of fur exactly like that of
rabbit. The negro stated that he had a
pet rabbit in the yard with his chickens,
and he supposes the freak was due to the
association between the fowls and the
hare. They were certainly great curiosi-
ties in their line.
There has been lively rivalry here for
two or three days among buyers of sea
island cotton and the local market has
advanced considerably on that account.
The price ran up from a quarter to three
quarters of a cent yesterday and the day
before, though there was no increase in
the port quotations. The market here has
ruled high all of the present season.
Mr. ]. ]. Sorrell of Colquitt county

COTTON LETTERS,

New York Nov. 15.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co say of cotton: Our European advices

Elemental bureau report issued yesterday,
and, although Liverpool advance on short
covering the trade did not consider the
response a good one. Large outside or
ders, however, were present at the open
ing, and absorbed all the cotton offered
by the buyers of Monday. AS these or
deTs were filled the market gradually
dragged, with one short squirt to the
close, which was weak on profit-taking.
These two reports of the agricultural de-
partment have done an immense amount
of injury, and they are unexpIainable If
the statistician had information leading
him to think the crop might be less than
5000 900, he should have so stated in the
monthly report. BY publishing two re-
ports the department has injured, first
the planter, then the spinner and then
the merchant; thereby throwing added
discredit upon the publica tons of the de-
partment."

however, things were at a standstiil and

were no afternoon sales, and the closing
