Will Follow His Own Judgment in All
Matters.

Matters.
Gen. John B. Gordon commander-in-chef
of the United Confederate Veterans, has
prepared reply to a resolution recently
adopted by a camp of Confederate Vet
Grams at New Orleans condemning the blue
and gray reunion at Atlanta recommend
ing that no more similar reunions be held,
and protesting against Gen. Gordon accept
ing invitation to the G. A. R. reunion
at Chicago The reply is as follows:
HARDWOOD, Ga, August 20, 1900.
To the Confederate Association of the
Army Of the Tennessee.
Comrades: A resolution recently adopted
by your association, at the instance of
Gen. Chaleron, criticising several acts, or
supposed acts, OF mine, entirely escaped my
attention at the time of its appearance in
the public press and I have just seen 1t
for the first time. 1 understand this action
of your association to mean formal and
public notice that you disapprove Of my
participation in the blue and gray meeting
which recently occurred in Atlanta; and
also that 1T means a formal and public pro-
test by your association against my ac-
ceptance of an invitation extended to me
by the Grand Army of the Republic and
by the executive committee of the citizens
of Chicago.
The object of this reply to your resolu-
ton which you tailed to send me is not to
call in question the right of your associa-
ton to criticise any official act of mine
which does not meet your approval. / do
wish. however, to state kindly, but frank
ly and plainly, that my own conscience and
my own conception of duty must be my
guide in the future, as in the past
AS to the courteous and cordial invita-
ton of both the G. A. r. and of the execu-
tive committee of Chicago citizens I have
to state that l greatly appreciated the COM
pliment paid me by that invitation and the
spirit which prompted it. Circumstances
however. rendered it impossible for me to
accept and I SO notified the officers and
committee nearly two months ago. But, in
must be the judge now and hereafter of the
propriety of accepting invitations from any
section of the country or any class of my
fellow countrymen.
In order that there may be no possible
misunderstanding of my position on these
and all kindred matters, l repeat my sole
guide must be my convictions of duty
as to this whole country and to the south
ern people whose glorious record in all the
past whose traditions, dignity and honor
/ have endeavored to defend and uphold t
all times in all sections and under all con-
dit!ons
In conclusion let it be definitely under
stood that so long as Providence permits
me to speak labor / shall continue the
efforts which 1 have made for thirty years
in the interest of sectional harmony and
unity Whatever / can do will aSSuredly
be done for the truth of hisory, for justice
to the south and to all sections. for foster
ing our cherished memories, for the oblit-
Grafton of all sectional bitterness and for
the settlement of all sectional contro-
versies basis consistent with the honor
and the manhood and the self-respect of
all. J. B. GORDON.

COMFORT IN HOT WEATHER.
Physicians Way of Taking Bath b
Which He Keeps Cool.

Which He Keeps Cool.
From the New York News.
For the benefit of such persons as greatly
desire to keep coo.-and this category In
cludes probably an overwhelming majority
of the adult populaton-a well-known
physician, who is himself man of extern
sive adiDosity and therefore a subject to
suffering from high temperatures, has
formulated a simple plan which is within
the reach of any person having access TO a
ba thtub.
This is method / have been trying on
myself with great success for three years,
he says. 1T begins in the bathtub and
ends in the bathtub. There's nothing else
to 1t except a towel. A great many persons
advocate tepid bal tbs in hot weather on the
ground that a coN bath produces a reac-
ton that heats one UP rapidly afterward.
Well, I've got nothing to say against a
tepid-bath treatment. For a person who
has weak heart or who is not constitu-
tiOnally sound, it's an excellent thing, but
for robust man the cold bath is better
when taken in the right way.
THE popular shower bath is a fallacy so
far as helping one to keep cool is con-
cerned, for five minutes after you are dry
your skin is in glow. The thing to do is
to fill your bathtub up with cold water,
get into it and lie perfectly still for sew
eral minutes. To begin with three or four
minutes will be as long you will want
to stay Later you will find yourself re-
naming for eight or ten minutes
when you thoroughly chilled
through and your skin is cool all over it Is
time to get out. Now comes the important
part Most people think they must scrub
themselves furiously dry with a crash towel
That is all wrong. 1t simply sets up action
of the pores. and there you are perspirIng
again. The proper way is to press the
drops that adhere and do the rest by fan
ming yourself with the towel. Then get
into your clothes in a leisurely manner.
and you will find that for three four
hours thereafter you will be cool and COM
Portable. though all creation around you is
melting its collar.
Take a bath like this just before break
fast, and, If you possibly can. another in
the middle of the afternoon, when the tenn
Derature is highest. and you will find the
miseries of city life in the heated spell SO
mitigateo that you will forget all about
them. first tried this two years ago,
when that terrific hot spell hit the city
early in August. and. though had to be in
the city throughout the heat, / got through
It well and almost comfortably. But 1t
must be remembered that this treatment
isn't for invalids people with weak
lungs or hearts. I don't want to be re-
sponsible for deaths by heart disease and
pneumonia. The safe thing to do is to ask
your family physician whether you are
hardy enough to stand such a course be-
fore you begin"

He Likes to whistle.
o the Editor Of The Eye1ing Star:

1t has been great source of amusement
to me to read the objections to the might
marauder' who IS supposed to rend the
air throughout the night by whistiing.
Now, l am a whistler, and have always
been in that category, at least for the past
twenty-five years. and L fully intend to
keep 1t up. for what is more consoling to a
young man, especially when he is broke
and has no car fare. than to walk home
whistling the airs OF his youth, which. of
course, bars "ragtime"
Now, IL l had the least idea as to where
j. III. NJ. lives. l promise him that /
would furnish him one of the grandest con-
certs hee has ever listened to each and
every night. In his letter he says that the
natives of Iceland do not tolerate
Whistlng. Now, the best thing for y.
ii. M. to do is to HE himself to these
cold icy shores. and venture to say, that
1t Is on account of the cold that these peo-
pie do not whistle rather than the fact
that It is against their religion for who
ever heard OF Washington's best night
warblers lifting up their musical notes dur
Ing the blizzard of 1899? WHISTLER.
