WAS A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
Mrs. RooscveIt's Reception mt the
st. John "a Notable Social Event.

-
Charleston, S. c.. April s.-Mrs.
Roosevelt's reception at the st. John
Hotel tonight was the most brilliant
affair in the recent social history of
this city The st. John, or the old
Mills House." as it is still called by
Charlestonians OF the old regime, was
in ante bellum days the scene of many
notable gatherings of the ultra-ex-
elusive society people, but for many
years the ballroom has been deserted.
The hosiery has been brought to its
former standard with the advent of
the exposition, and the first lady in
the land was tonight the cynosure of
all eyes at the most notable reception
in this city in forty years. Indeed,
this was the first Presidents wife to
whom a reception has ever been ten
dered here. President and Mrs. Cleve-
land visited Charleston on Feb. 2S, 1888,
but Mrs. Cleveland was only here for
a few hours. Presidents Washington,
Monroe and Polk were unattended by
their wives when they visited the city.
Tonight the ballroom was exqui-
sitely decorated for the occasion and
was in keeping with the splendid tot
lettes of the 500 brilliantly gowned
women who came to do honor to the
Presidents charming wife. Mrs.
Roosevelt and the ladies of her party
occupied dais near the southern end
of the room and received the guests,
who were introduced by Mrs. Andrew.
Simonds, Jr, of this city. The recep-
ton began at O'Clock and lasted UNI
til after midnight.

CAPT. C. E. FLANDERS DEAD.
Veteran of Three Wars Passes Away
at Brunswick.


Brunswick, Ga, April S.-Captain
Chas f. Flanders. a veteran of three
wars and one of the most highly es-
teemed citizens in this section, died
at his home in this city at an early
hour this morning.
Captain Flanders military exper-
fence has been notable in many ways
and doing three bloody contests in the
last sixty years he has been closely
in touch with its fiercest ravages. He
first saw military life in the famous
Mexican war and during that period
held many positions of trust in the
army service of his country, and, up to
his death, was receiving pensions for
gallant service in that conflict. During
that war he served as a private in
the Floyd Rifles, of Macon, Ga. Later,
when the war cry was sounded again
and the Union was called upon to de-
fend itself against the Indians, he res
ponded promptly and saw service dur
ing that famous carnage.
He removed to Brunswick from Ma
con in the early sixties and few years
later, when strife between the states
was announced, and the Civil War
resulted, for the third time he took
up arms and marched away to Vir-
ginia as second lieutenant in the
Brunswick Rifiemen. In this war, he
was signally honored by the Confed-
eracy. and at one time was detached
from his regular command by Col.
John Screven for the purpose of as
sisting in the construction of the Con-
federate navy. His work in this line
was done at Savannah and other
points on the Carolina river, and for
this distinguished service he was brew
oted TO the rank of captain by Presi-
dent Davis upon the recommendation
of Col. Screven.
When the bloody conflict ended and
Appomattox saw the fate of the Con-
federacy Capt. Flanders returned to
Brunswick. rejoined his old command,
the Brunswick Rihemen, and was made
quartermaster of the command. When
old years came upon him and the work
was too active for him, the company
made him its father" and from that
day to the present he has held that
very loving position in the hearts OF
his youthful comrades, and life-size
picture of the gallant old warrior Is
now one of the valuable emblems dec
Grating the armory of the Rifiemen.
Capt Flanders, during his long life
in Brunswick, has held many positions
of trust and honor. He was
a consistent member of the
Episcopal Church, and besides a
devoted wife, leaves six children to
mourn his loss. Tonight a detach-
ment from the Brunswick Rifilemen
has been detailed as an honorary guard
and are in charge of the remains.
The funeral will occur at O'Clock
tomorrow at st. Marks Episcopal
Church with full military honors, and
the remains will be laid to rest in that
hallowed spot. where thousands of old
soldiers are sleeping their last sleep.
In connection with Capt. Flanders
death it. may he of interest to say that
the entire city is bowed in deepest
mourning. aud the funeral tomorrow
promises to be the most imposing cor
tege in Brunswick's history.
