Confederate Reunion.

The reunion OF Confederate veterans
which meets in Memphis in the closing
days of May promises to be the most
successful gathering In the history of
the Confederate organization. The
railroads entering Memphis are alive
to the situation and have promised to
do everything possible looking toward
the comfort and pleasure of the old
soldiers and their friends. Every
courtesy will be extended the local
committees in meeting incoming trains
so that the thousands OF strangers
may be taken in hand and assigned to
their quarters. A special rate Of one
cent mile has been recommended by
the general passenger agents of all
lines interested and 1t is certain that
the joint passenger association will
authorize the rate
Fifty thousand dollars will be raised
by the citizens of Memphis so that all
visitors may be assured of a good time.
All Of the subscriptions so far have
been voluntary and one of the most
notable was that of Robert Il. Church,
representative negro citizen. who
contributed check for 81 900. Church
was born slave in Mississippi, and
after the war removed to Memphis,
where he has since lived. He is good
business man and citizen and numbers
among his friends many OF the repre-
sentative business men and fnanciers
of the city.

though not a large one, in the treas
ury, and there is no lack Of activity IN
the more important trading circles.
Senior Sagasta, one Of the notable
figures in the political history Of the
day, has a tremendous task before
him. he stands for Spanish Liberal
ism, and there is no one in the country
that is 80 we'll versed In its peculiar
conditions. Worn by long service to
his country, absolutely faithful to 1t
In every sense, Of unimpeachable IN
tegrity, sagasta has earned the title
Of the Grand Old Man of Spanish
Liberalism, and it is deserved recog-
milton.
Sagasta's cabinet includes General
WeyIer, as Minister Of War; Senor
Moret, as Minister Of the Interior; the
Duke of Almodovar del Rio, as Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, and the
Duke of veragua, as Minister Of the
Navy. The first and last named gen.
hemen are Eot known in the United
States, but it can hardly We said that
they are regarded with favor.
The American people remember
Weyler through his Cuban administra-
lion, the story of which, all things con-
sidered, does not improve with the
telling. The Duke Of Almodovar del
Rio is said to be somewhat in SYM
lathy with the British; Senor Moret
ts perhaps the best known of all the
cabinet, and has an excellent record.
General Weyler's Influence was In
evidence in connection with the mar
riage Of the Princess of Asturias, the
Queens eldest child. The Princess's
choice-Don Carlos de Bourbon-is the
second son of the Count Caserta, who,
Is q pronounced Carlist. The Queen
Regent approved OF the match because
it was based entirely on mutual esteem
and love, but Ssnor Sagasta strongly
opposed the marriage, even refusing
to be in office when it took place. Gen.
eral Weyler's friendship for tie young
man meant so much, however, that
notwithstanding Sagasta's disapproval,
which was warmly seconded by both
Liberals and Republicans, the mar
riage was consummated. Don Carlos
now Prince of the Asturias by the
royal decree-studied in the Artillery
School at Segovia, and served in Cuba
under Weyler.-Harper's Weekly.

is now extinct, and. judging from .ts
picture, doubtless some Of my readers
will not be sorry. The dodo was about
the size of the swan. and had means
neither Of defense nor flight. It lived
in the small islands east Of MadagaS
car. Mauritius. Reunion. ETC.. and was
found there by European explorers
early in the sixteenth century. The
coming of Europeans. however. proved
the downfall of the strange bird, and
the last one OF them disappeared about
the year 1920.
II WAS an exceedingly clumsy bird
with short. thick legs. ponderous
bill anu with useless little wings. II
was covered with down instead OF
feathers. and it's general appearance
was anything but prepossessing. Sew
eral specimens were carried to Eu
rope by the explorers. but the dode
was destined to a brief existence wheD

hundred or mort were sent to another
school building, $40 Gale Palacio,
where several American teachers were
placed in charge, and the work
progressed. AS. under Spanish rule,
only antiquated methods Of questions
and answers had been pursued, the
object Of the normal school was not
so much to impart knowledge Of the
subjects in hand as it was to introduce
new methods, and to show native
teachers, who are, without exception,
overanxious to prepare themselves for
the work of educating their people,
how to make the best use Of materials
at hand, and thus encourage them to
further research and preparation. The
students that attended the school were
representatives Of the highest intelli-
gence throughout the archipelago.
Hardly an island or province occupied
by American forces but was repre-
sented.
AS an example Of the interest taken
by those In charge in extending the
benefits of free public schools to the
natives, none is more worthy of emu
lation than the action Of Captain j.
P. O'Neill, commanding officer at San
Felipe, Zambales Province, Island of
Luzon, who, when he found that the
twenty odd teachers from his district
could not reach Manila to attend the
normal school on account of lack Of
funds. generously donated the sum
necessary himself.
Thirty-three classes in English,
Geography, Arithmetic, Physiology,
Manual Training. Art, Nature Study,
kindergarten, and Music were organ
iZcd, and successfully conducted
throughout the entire term. The main
object Of m5st Of the studies was to
faniliarize the native teachers, through
observation Of work principally, with
the various forms and methods
which will be introduced later on in
all the schools.
The most marked interest was taken
IN the work as is shown by the high
average daily attendance.

report Of the school: Number matricu-

received by Surgeon-General Wyman
from members of the medical staff
scattered all over the Island Of Cuba
show that it Is practically free from
yellow fever. This is probably the
first time this statement could be made
for centuries. The reason that yellow

The General and the water-wheel.

One day the Confederate army was
hurried off upon forced march to in
tercept Grant. At the close Of the Gay
the soldiers were without raions, and
Colonel Russell seized q four-mill,
which was run by little stream emp
tying into the Tennessee River. The
mill ground away for al hour or two,
and then the water In the creek was
exhausted. At this juncture General
Wheeler arrived upon the scene.
whats the trouble?" said Wheeler.
mo water" said Colonel Russell.
General Wheeler danced around in
his nervous fashion. Colonel" he
said, why don't you establish line
of men with buckets, as they do ut a
fire, and have them pass water up
from the stream below and throw 1t
upon the wheel!"
Colonel Russell did not laugh. He
drew himself up, saluted his superior
in military fashion, and sneezed. If a
monograph had caught the sneeze
there would have been evidence that
the Colonel swore.-Washington Post.
