4 GEORGIA BARBECUE
Closed Reunion of Blue and Gray al
Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, July 2O.-A genuine
Georgia barbecue this afternoon closed
the reunion in this city of the Blue and
Gray.
Gen. John B. Gordon, commander-in-
chief OF the Union Confederate Veterans,
disobeying his physicians orders. was
present, with the other distinguished
guests and sat side by side with Gen. AL
bert d. Shaw commander-in-chief of
the Grand Army OF the Republic. The
invited guests made speeches, but the
second on the programme. that of Gen.
Shaw, did not please Gen Gordon and
for time reconciliation was forgotten
Gen. Shaw S speech was for the most
part conciiiatory in tone and was well
received, yet his reference to the man
ner IN which all memories OF the great
struggle should be blotted out in the
families Of the nth, was not received
with the favor hoped for
In his speech he uttered these words
and they went deep into Gen. Gordon S
heart:
what I am anxious to see is the dis
appearance OF all unworthy reminders OF
the terrible conflict, and the culture Of
present unity and righteousness over all
The Union. The keeping alive of section
al teachings as TO the Justice and rights
Of the cause of the South in the hearts
of the children is all out OF order, IN
wise, unjust and utterly opposed to the
bond by which the great Chieftain Lee
sOlemnIy bound the cause of the South
IN his final surrender
At the close of Gen. Shaw's speech,
Gen. Gordon came forward. He had
spoken before and his appearance again
caused considerable surprise.
# Gen (10rdQn said ha cQuId not faaeh
his chill 1ren that he fought for what was
wrong. He entered battle for what he
believed was right, and "only the Judg-
ment day and God Himself will ever de-
eide who was right
LET US cherish the memories, ,; con
tinued Gen. Gordon, 'sand history viii
record and heaven judge, that both sides
were right in fighting for what they be-
lievsd was right. Let us settle on
basis Of that immaculate truth that both
sides were lighting for the constitution
of their forefathers."
Gen. Shaw responded gracefully to the
generals exceptions. "Our children
should be taught, said Gen. Shaw, 1.-THE
true glory and sublimity OF our one coun-
try; their fathers will teach them this.
Let them be so alike, the children of the
North and cf the South that no difference
will be percepUble.
The incident closed with three cheers
for the blue and the gray.
The speakers OF today were Gen. Albert
u. Shaw, Gen. John b. Gordon, Gov
James A. Mount of Indiana, Hon. w. G.
Z. Breckenridge. Gen. J. G. Brecken.
ridge, inspector general, u. S. A. Gen.

THE RAFT WAS WRECKED
And Jimmie O'Donncll Was Drowned
In Back Bay.

Jimmie O'Donnell and Johnny Dulaney
nal way in Back bay yesterday afternoon
about 3 o'clock. The water was not so
very deep where they started with the raft
but they pushed 1t out toward the sluice-
way at the foot Of Fox street through
which % terrible current was running
and where the water was very deep.
When the frail raft struck the cure Mt 1t
went to pieces and both boys were thrown
into the water. Some say that young
O'Donnen could not swim but that his
companion Dulaney was good swlmmes
tor boy. At any rate Dulaney struck
into an eddy which carried him away
from the sluiceway and enabled him to
reach the shore in safety O'Donnen was
carried out by the sluiceway and disap-
peared.
Young Duianey gave the alarm and
some men who happened to be near tried
to find the O'Donnen boy but no trace of
him was discovered
About O'Clock last night when the
tide had fallen and left the flats I'M
covered the body OF the boy was found
long distance from where he had fallen
from the raft Both the Dulaney boy
and young O'DonneII were stripped for
bathing when the raft went to pieces and
when the body of the o DonnelI boy was
found the position of the legs led the dis
coverers to believe that the boy was
seized with a eramp when he struck the
cold water in the slu1eeway and this had
prevented him from saving himself.
The o Donne1 boy was about IA years
Of age. His father is Michael O'Donnell
who lives on Greenleaf street and the
boys mother, hard working woman,
was almost prostrated by the news OF her
son S death. Besides his parents O'Don-
nell leaves three sisters. About two years
ago the grandfather of the O'DonnelI boy
was drowned not far from the spot where
the boy lost MS life.
Coron er Littlefield was called when the
boys body was found but he deemed an
inquest unnecessary.

Editor Strong Thinks Misses Gould
and Morrill, Are Safe.
No Word From Shan ST
Missionaries.
Mr.. Strong Says Missionaries
Didn't Cause Trouble.

Boston, July 20.-Rey e. i. Strong,
d. D., editor OF the Missionary Herald OF
She American Board says:
''We have reason to believe that Rev.
Mr.. Pitkin, Miss Mary Morrill, and Miss
Annie Gould are under the protection Of
the Yamen at Pao Ting Fu, North
China, and some confidence is felt that
they win be safe there until the storm
has passed. No word has been received
from our missionaries in Shan 81 since
Pekin was beleagured, but the last let
ters that came through gave no indica-
tion of any trouble in that province. If
trouble should arrive it would seem that
our brethren might go northward
through Mongolia to a place Of safety.
s'Let no Christian for a moment enter
tain the thought that the church Of
Christ is 50 withdraw from mission work
in China because Of the revolution with
in that empire. That would be pusilli-
animous indeed. Such thought, we are
persuaded, would not be entertained for
a moment by any one of our missionaries
in China. The soldiers of the King of
Kings should be as brave as the soldiers
of any earthly ruler, and they are not to
be deferred IN their loyal service by tenn
Eorary defeats OF the death of comrades.
sit has been frequently said That
the recent troubles in China have entire
~ arisen because OF the missionaries and
that TO their presence and Intervention in
Chinese affairs is due all the existing
Implications. This is far from true.
The Chinese are suspicious OF everything
to which they are unaccustomed. What
ever is strange (and whatever is foreign
is strange to them) is feared and repealed.
1t is not the western religion alone or
chiefly, but western civilization that
awakens their wrath.

UNCLE WILLIAM RUNS ADIUCK.

South Paris, July 20.-The inhabitants
OF this place were thrown into wild
state of excitement Friday morning when
Mr.. VIM. Morse, one Of the oldest resi-
cents of the town, appeared on the hotel
steps of the Andrews house with revol-
yer IN his hand and discharged it freely.
Fortunately the shots did not hit any
one. 1t seems rather remarkable as there
were many persons ON the street, and
not far distant at the time. After dis
charging the weapon he rushed away
down the mill road evidently making
for the WOO Is. 1t is believed that he has
gone crazy and intends to commit sui
eide.
Nothing has bsen seen of him up to the
time Of this dispatch. Sheriff Tucker
has been notified and he with posse Of
armed2 officers is now in search of the
demented man.

Portland and Boston Freight Trains In
a Head On Collision.

Newmarket, N. H., July 20.-Two
freight trains on the Boston & Maine
railroad came together in a head on col
lision early this morning about two miles
from this place.
The engines were telescoped, IA cars
were thrown from the track and several
of them were wrecked and one Of the
engineers was considerably bruised. All
the other train hands escaped by jump
ing. The track was blocked for several
hours.
One of the trains was from Boston and
they were making the regular throu gh
night trips. They usually pass at Ben
nett road about two miles from New
market. At point just this side of the
usual passage place and just beyond what
is known as Diamond bridge, where the
railroad crosses Lamphrey river the en-
q ines came together. Each train was go
ing at a fair rate Of speed, although all
the cars of both trains were heavily
loaded
The momentum of each train was so
great that the engines as they crashed in
to each other were crushed and telescoped
I. At the point where the collision oc-
CURED the track runs along an embank-
ment about 20 feet high. The shook of
the collision threw the cars from the
track and piled them up along the rails
and down over the embankment some OF
them being spit apart and heaped into
of Bplintered wood and disor-
dered merchandise
\ The trainmen saw that collision could
not be avoided and jumped. All escaped
save one Of the engineers. This man who
was taken to the Boston hospital before
his name could be learned here, it is un-
derstood, was considerably bruised, but
it was the opinion among the railroad
men here that his injuries were critical. !.

MEN OF AFFAIRS
Need Proper Food to supply the Brain.

Need Proper Food to supply the Brain.
The Medical Sentinel comments on
the restless brain worker of our large
cities and refers to the fact that he thinks
he knows as much about the needs of this
brain, when he is tired and shows brain
flag, as a trained practitioner.
He is inclined to spur up the tired or
gans by some stimulant or perhaps quiet
its complaints with the narcotic Of
tobacco, and this plan goes on until sud
denly he collapses, for brain flag is a
sure sign that the elements that compose
the brain are being more rapidly used
uD than are replaced blythe food.
There is really choice Of but two
pathways for an active brain worker-a
man of affairs-when he shows symp-
toms Of breaking down Either he must
quit work or he must have food that viii
replace the structure of brain ana nerve
oenters as rapidly as they are used up
each day.
Chemical analysis of the particles
thrown out through the pores of the body
shows that after continued brain work, a
large portion of excreta contains phos-
phate of potash. 1t is known that when
this element is furnished by the food in
proper quantities, the system unites it
with albumen and from that compound
makes the gray matter that fills the nerve
eenters and the brain
This is an especial feature Of the food
known as Grape Nuts, a delicious, ready
cooked and predigested breakfast food.
A definite and we'll understood gain in
brain power and physical strength will
SGT In after Grape Nuts have been used
eight or ten days, and sustained and con
tinued brain work can be carried on If
reliance is placed upon this food in con-
nection with the ordinary food Of the
day.
Grape-Nuts Food IS sold at all first-class
groceries.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.


THE GEM.
The best play Portland has seen in a
long time is "a Stranger IN a Strange
Land - This is the result OF a new
metropolitan success cleverly presented
by a company that has been admirably
strengthened by number of strong
players. Another large audience howled
with delight at last nights performance,
and many New Workers. who have seen
the metropolitan production in their en-
thusiasm favorably compare it with the
original. Myrtle May, Carrie Clarke
Ward, Richard Bennett, William Hunt
and Barton Drew enter into the spirit OF
the comedy with the other leading MEM
bers Of the company that fairly raises
an enthusiasm seldom seen in the cosy
little theatre. George Osbourne has re-
peated his New York success, and con-
tinues to win @5dmiration of the many
lovers Of artistic acting at each perform
ance. During the New York run OF this
piece about two hundred Indians sat n
front at performance, and they would
not believe Mr.. Osbourne any other
than one of their tribe until they had
positive proof by calling on him IN his
dressing room. Theatre goers that ap-
preciate good work should take advant-
age of a new play cleverly presented.
McCULLUM'S THEATRE.
The public continue to crowd MoCul-
lum's theatre to its capacity at every per-
Torrance Of the beautiful Irish play '"The
English Rose. The last two chances
TO see this excellent production will be
offered this afternoon and evening. Next

win offer magnificent presentation Of
the famous mi litary spectacle ''Shenan-
doah, written by Bronson Howard,

Shenandoah" is a play founded on act

tains among its climaxes the most realis-
tic battle scene ever introduced on the

We're it not that local amusement low
ers knew that the attractions at Riverton
never vary in their general excellence,
there would be deep regret that the last
performances of q orman's Imperial Min
strels would be given this afternoon and
evening. The public have enjoyed the
entertainments given by this talented
and welI-equipped organization this week
and the attendance has broken all previ-
Gus records at Riverton for week, hav-
ing no special holidays. There is not
one mediocre act on the entire pro-
gramme. Every member of the company
is an artist in his especial lines and the
singing is an especial feature. The
pleasure of a visit to ISiverton this week
has been enhanced by the brilliant play
ing of the Matus Royal Hungarian or
chestra, and their concerts at the Casino
at O'Clock and at 8 have pleased many
large dinner parties this week and nu-
nerous summer tourists.
