fire from small boys and bonfire in the

first to catch fire, and burned rapidly,
three horses being rescued with difficulty.
The flames then jumped to the Roberts
barn, and also to the residence of AttoF-

CONFEDERATES' LAST DAY
REUNION CLOSED WITH HOSoRs
TO JEFFERSON DAVIS.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 3.-The last
exercises connected with the tenth annual
reunion of the United Confederate Veter-
ans occurred today, when the ninety-sec-
ond anniversary of the birth of Jefferson
Davis was observed at Union hall with
services in memory of Mr.. Davis Winnie
Davis, the Daughter of the Confeder-
acy," and the Confederate dead. Five
thousand persons attended the exercises.
Mrs. Hayes, the daughter of Jefferson
Davis, and her daughter, Miss Varina
Hayes, were on the platform. Gen Ste
phen d. Lee presided. The first speaker
was Gen. Clement A. Evans, of Georgia.
''The Southern people celebrate Jefferson
Davis birthday" said Gen. Evans, be
cause he was the first, the last, the pres
ent and the everlasting president of that
invisible republic known as the Confede-
rate States of America. Davis is still
counseling the Southern people to the
truth of all things that constitute the
best elements of human liberty
Ex-United States Senator Regan, of
Texas, the surviving member of the Con-
federate cabinet, said that probably not in
the worlds history had the same amount
of honor been shown to a man who had
represented an unsuccessful cause as had
been shown to jefferson Davis. Judge
Reagan said that, to show Jefferson Da-
Wis spirit of sacrifice, he would tell how
Mr.. Davis refused to put men to guard
his home and his plantation in Mississip-
pi when his personal property was in
danger of being carried away. He also
told of the time when the members of
Mr.. Davis cabinet, who had been wreck
ed financially, were casting up their af-
fairs, and Mr.. Davis expressed his grati-
ication that no member of his cabinet
had made money during the war.
Gen. Stephen D. Lee referred to Jeffer-
son Davis las a Prometheus chained to a
rock"
THE clumsy cruelty of putting irons on
Mr.. Davis thrilled the South, and she has
not yet recovered from the SHOCK" said
Gen Lee.

BEEN SAID OF INDIA
SEEN IN STRICKEN DISTRICTS
Scenes Described as Shocking and

BOMBAY, June S.-Louis KIopsch, of
New York, publisher of the Christian
Herald, who arrived here May IA and
started at once on tour Of the famine
stricken districts, has returned after
travelling through the most soreiy strick-
en- portions of the Bombay presidency,
including Gujerat and Barolda. He makes
the following statement regarding his OBJ
servations:
Everywhere 1 met the most shocking
and revolving scenes. The famine camps
have been swept by cholera and small
pox. Fugitives, scattering in all direc-
tions and stricken in fight, were found
dying In the fields and roadside bitches.
The numbers at one road station were
increasing at the rate of 10000 per day.
At Godhera there were 5000 deaths from
cholera within five days, and at Darhad
800 in the same period. The hospital
death rate at Godhera and Dorhad was
so per cent.
"The condition of the stricken simply
beggars description. Everywhere water
was impregnated with an intolerable
stencil of corpses. At Ahmedabad the
death rate in the poorhouse was 10 per
cent. Every day 1 saw new patients
placed face to face with corpses. In
every fourth cot there was a corpse.
THE thermometer read 115 In the
shade. Millions of flies hovered over the
uncleaased and distressed patients.
II visited the smallpox and cholera
wards at Visgarama. All patients were
lying on the ground, there being no
cots. Otherwise their condition was fair
II can fully verify the reports that
Vultures, dogs and jackals are devouring
the dead. Dogs have been seen running
about with children's limbs in their
jaws.
THE government is doing its best, but
the native officials are hopelessiy and
heartlessly inefficient. Between the fam
