How THE WORK IS PROGRESSING.
Commercial Appeal of Tuesday,

OOmmerclal Appear OI tuesday,
Last nights meeting of the gen
eral executive committee of the re-
union was a business meeting from
the word 90.
w. J. Crawford, vice president,
was acting chairman and it was his
desire to have full and complete re
ports from all the heads of the com
mittees in order to determine what
has already been done.
The first report was made by a
B. Pickett, chairman of the finance
committee. He stated that $50, 900
had been placed to the credit of the
fund; that there were various sub
committees that will probably turn
in an additional $4,000, while the
guarantee fund of S25, 900 is assured
by the fact that the reunion build
ing will be permitted to stand for
four years.
On motion of Mayor Williams
the chairman of each of the commit
tees was empowered to arrange for
all the details of the events under
his charge. They are to furnish
ticke+1z 7shers, ticket sellers, door
keepers and all other necessary EN-
ployes.
Fred Orgil, of the railroad com
mittee, reported that all railroads
entering Memphis have given rates
from points south Of the Ohio river,
but that the same concessions have
not been made for points north.
Meetings have been held for the
purpose of arranging for handling
baggage.
Chairman Crawford suggested
that this was a most important COM
mittee and stated that every effort
should be made to run excursion
trains in and out of the city during
the days Of the reunion. He said
that the eleven roads entering Mem
phis could easily relieve the con-
gestion by this means.
w. A. Gage, of the hotels and
accommodations committee, report
ed splendid progress. The canvass
already made of the city reveals the
fact that 10000 persons can be Ia
ken care of by the persons who have
already responded. The assignment
of public buildings will give facili-
ties for the accommodation of 10, 900 |
more. There are a number Of per-
sons vet to be heard from. The
daily excursion trains will dispose
&C about 1000 visitors who will
e and go daily. Mr.. Gage con-
I etulates Messrs. Sloan and Davant
the information committee on the
plendid manner in which they are
allotting prospective visitors tempo
rary homes during their residence
here. About 10000 people have
already been assigned places. He
urged that prospective out-oftown
visitors should send in their names
to the information committee as
early as possible to give them ample
time to allot sleeping accommoda-
tions. Mr.. Gage says that the fur
niture companies were acting in
hearty accord with the committee
and that one dealer has promised to +
furnish at least 1000 cots TO those
who would require them.

edge Of the skirt by any convenient
method The lower edge then falls con-
siderably below the dress and under
skirts, and is provided with safety-pns
The latter are utilized to fasten the pro-
tector to the innermost skirt as high up
as is possible without stretching the ia
brio. 1t Will thus be seen that an in
closing pocket is formed to contain and
protect the skirts from all moisture. As
the tendency OF the device is to raise the
clothing from the ground it is not neces-
sary to hold the skirt up with the hand.
When the wearer reaches home the pro-
tector can be detached and hung up to
dry, after which the dust can be beaten
out III case of necessity, the device
might also be used TO some advantage
with ordinary skirts. Susie L. Sowden,
Of PIaintield. y. J.. is the inventor.

All true Americans, as all true patriots

happen because they are firmly resolved
that they will not be satisfied Till the best
