GEN. NORMAN ANNOUNCES
DEATH OF CONFEDERATE.

New Orleans, April n.-By direction OF
Gen. ]. B. Gordon, commanding United
Confederate Veterans, Ad1utant General
Moorman has issued a general order on
the death of General Hampton, saying In
part:
Overwhelmed with grief the general
commanding announces to his comrades
and countrymen that the great spirit OF
the chivalrous Lieutenant General WADE
Hampton today took its fight to join the
hosts of his comrades encamped upon
the other shore.
Truly can 1t be said of him that the
blood of heroes coursed in his veins, as
he was the third bearing the name Of
Wade Hampton, his grandfather having
fought under Marion and Sumter and
was major general In the revolutionary
war; and by his illustrious career he
has previously sustained the high charac-
ter of his heroic sires, as he was one OF
our greatest soldiers, statesman with
out blemish, a peerless citizen and pure
man.
1.-THE general comm anding directs that
all possible honors be paid to his MEM
ory by the United Confederate Veterans.

Many Demonstrations Occur.

Demonstrations and encounters also
occurred at Liege, Client and elsewhere,
the most serious being at Houdeng-
Goegncs in the coal district. During the
collision between the police and the
strikers at that place the latter used
brickbats and firearms. The police fired
upon the rioters, killing a coal miner
and young girl. Fifteen prisoners were
wounded including two policemen. Noun
tain infantry finally dispersed the mob.
The civil government is again under
arms tonight and all the police posts
have been doubled.
The Belgian government has decided to
proclaim martial law on Monday, unless
order is previously restored.

Columbia, S. c., April 11.-Gen. Wade

ing been unconscious for several days.
The general had just passed his S4th

Violent Scenes During Sitting Of Cham
Der of DeputIes-Liberals and
SoclaIs End Discussion
With General Scrap.

Brussels, April 1.-THE sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies today was charac-
terized by violent scenes. The premier,
Count DeNaeyer, referring to the deplor-
able events Of yesterday, said:
THE appeal of the Socialists TO the
population proves that it is their avowed
plan to continue the struggle, even after
Parliament has pronounced on the re-
vision bill. Their aim is the dethronemenr
of power and the triumph Of revolution.
The government is resolved that the de-
bate on the revision bill shall occur In
spite of the assertion of the Moniteur So
cialiste to the contrary"
At this point in the premier's speech
violent alterations which nearly lead to
blows, arose between the deputies of the
opposing parties. Liberals and socialists
engaged in sharp discussion concerning
the agreement concluded between them
for the defense of universal suffrage and
M. Demblen, socialist, shouted: I'VE
are betrayed"
At the close of the sitting socialist depu-
ties shouting Jesuit thief" stormed the
Presidents tribune. Ushers were then
summoned to preserve order and vio-
lent scene ensued In which blows were
freely exchanged.
Tried to Restore Quiet.
After the chamber closed members OF
the left party and socialists proceeded to
the Maizon du Peuple with the intention
of persuading the people to cease their
demonstration until next week. The mai
zon was surrounded by the civil guard,
but a meeting was permitted to be held
inside. M. Van Dervelder and other
speakers at the meeting advocated that
the people remain calm and have recourse
to a general strike next week If the gov
eminent used force. AS the persons who
attended the meeting were dispensing.
and in spite of the precaution Of permit
ting only few of them to leave at one
time, conflicts with the police occurred.
Mounted gendarmes cleared the streets
and many of the demonstrators fired
their reviewers. During the evening there
were many outbreaks in the city. The
police charged the rioters and about 70
persons were wounded. Many others were
arrested All those arrested were armed
with revolvers.

CRIMINALS FORM VENDETTA
Texas Aroused Over the Action of the
 Law Breakers.

Austin. Texas, March 22.-For the past few weeks there has been an epidemic of burglaries and lawlessness at Lyt- ten Springs this county, and last night 1t developed that the law-breakers have organized into a sort of vendetta, Re- ports from Lytten Springs at midnight were to the effect that there has been trouble between the lawless element and the citizens.
 The outlaws are said to have assembled shortly after dark last night and began their manuevers by shooting into the Palmer House, which seems to be their central point of attack. The citizens turned out in pursuit with blood hounds. The bloodhounds were killed by the out laws and at 1 o'clock this morning 1t is reported the outlaws are surrounded at Shoulders Tank. They are said to be entrenched behind dam. there bidding defiance to the posse
 Two of the posse have been injured and it is thought the outlaws have suf- fered some as quite d number of shots have been exchanged. At o'clock this morning a posse of officers left this city for the scene of action. and it is thought with the coming of daylight the outlaws will be captured.

Then pour in, gent lv and gradually, just enough water to float the tiny leaves. Add more as need ed. until the tub Is full, by which time you will be unable to see the surface of the water at all. Add more every three or four days, keeping the tub always full In about six weeks the flowers should appear plentifully. and only the frost should banish them from the tub. A tank may be made Tn place of the tubs if liked. but the tubs do well for be- ginning. and the lilies will thrive in them just as we'll as in the tank.

 All Of these varieties bloom freely; the iie or a water lily is only three days long, but the dying blossoms are SC quickly replaced by others that their loss IS seldom apparent. The tubs containing the roots may be carried into d cool eel lar bodily and there kept covered lightly rom the first frost until the spring opens, or they may be covered with blanks and protected by straw or manure until the next season. During the summer they need little attention save to see that the tubs are kept filled with water and the roots are never disturbed.
 The lotus plants-of which the common Egyptian variety Is the hardest and the pest bloomer-are also members of the nymphaea or water lily family and may be successfully cultivated in tubs in the back yard. But these gigantic, odorous blossoms are different from the water lilies proper, and should be separately considered.

Tablets. the new catarrh cure, has met with such success that today it can be found in every drug store throughout the United States and Canada.
 To be sure a large amount of advertis- ing was necessary in the first instance to bring the remedy to the attention of the public. but everyone familiar with the subject knows that advertising alone never made any article Permanently suc- cessful. It must have in addition abso- lute, undeniable merit. and this the new catarrh cure certainly possesses in A marked degree.
 Physicians who formerly depended upon inhalers. sprays and local washes or oint- ments. now use Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as one of the most prominent stated, these tablets contain in pleasant. convenient form all the really efficient catarrh reme- dies, such as red gum, blood root and similar antiseptics.
 They contin no cocaine nor opiate. and are given to little children with entire safety and benefit.
 Dr. J. J. Reitiger, of Covington. Ky. says: "I suffered from catarrh in my head and throat every fall, with stoppage of the nose and irritation in the throat affecting my voice and often extending to the stomach, causing catarrh of the stomach. I bought a fifty cent package of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at my drug gist's, carried them in my pocket and used them faithfully, and the way in which they cleared my head and throat was certainly remarkable. I had no ca tarrh last winter and spring and consider myself entirely free from any catarrhal trouble"
 Mrs. Jerome Ellison, of Wheeling, w. Va. writes: q suffered from catarrh nearly my whole life and last winter my two children also suffered from catarrhal colds and sore throat so much they were out of school a large portion of the win ter. My brother who was cured of ca tarrhal deafness by using Stuarts Ca tarrh Tablets urged me to try them so much that I did so and am truly thank 1uI for what they have done for myself and my children. I always keep box of inc tablets in the house and at the first annearance of a cold or sore throat we min it in the bud and catarrh Is no longer a household afflction with us"

Water Lilies for Back Yards.

Montgomery flower lovers need not seek the country in order to enjoy the beauty of water lilies if they prefer to delight Tn them at home. Water lilies may be cul- tivated quite successfully in an ordinary back yard. given sufficient sunshine-eight or nine hours of it every day-and proper trea tment. There are two ways of secur- ing these lovely blossoms, by seed and py means of roots The seed should be start ed just as early in the spring as possible. The roots need not be secured from the seedsman or the pond until about the lst of April. If correctly transplanted they will keep on growing just as though noth- ing had happened.
 The seeds should be first started by packing a common bowl or basin half full of finely sifted soil, packed down hrmly: l: scatter the seed evenly on top of this soii and cover with half an inch of fine sand Fill the bowl with water. pouring It gent Y. and keep in a warm place-near the xitchen stove will do nicely unless gas Is
