VETS At MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Loving Tribute to Memory Of Fallen
Comrades Form Solemn Feature
Of Wednesdays Proceedings.

A solemn memorial service by those
who still live for their comrades who
fell in the cause Of the Confederacy
was held at Wednesdays meeting OF
the United Confederate Veterans at
Dallas, Texas.
The service was not only In honor OF
the soldiers who gave their lives for
the Confederacy, but Of the late Miss
Winnie Davis, the daughter Of the
Confederacy.'
AT noon all business was stopped
short, and the great auditorium hush
ed. Chaplain General William Jones
arose and prayed while the old veter'
ans sat with barred heads. The ven
erable chaplain thanked the Almighty
for the leader that had been given the
Confederacy; he gave thanks for "the
noble women of our southland who
were ministering angels In the dark
days of war" and for the comrades
who had died glorIously.
"Varina Anne Davis" more favora'
bly, known as Winnie, the daughter
y; the Confederacy," the crowned
queen of our atfection-was my per,
eonal friend whom I so admired, hon
ured and loved" the chaplain said,
that it is really difficult for me to
speak of her except in terms that
might to others seem extravagant."
In glowing words the speaker refer
red to Jefferson Davis, "who adorned
every subject that he touched" to Al
bert Sydney Johnston, who "fell in
the hour Of victory at Shiioh;' to Rob
ert E. Lee, "the peerless soldier and
stanch gentleman; to Beauregard
Kirby Smith, "the heroically daring
Hood, "Stonewall" Jackson 1.-The
tGuDderbolt of war"
The chaplain ascribed virtues which
had well earned the affection and re
spect of all men. He paid a glowing
tribute to J. E. B. Stuart, Nathan Bed
ford Forrest, the wizard OF the sad
die" Sterling Price, whom his men
affectionately called Old Pap" to
Dick Taylor and Wade Hampton
"whose recent death has carried grief
to many homes and many hearts,

THIS LOOKS LIKE A DEPOT.
President Spencer Said to Favor
Plans For MuchIy Discussed Union
Station at Atlanta.

The Atlanta Journal OF Monday even.
ing contained the following:
It is understood from authoritative
sources that the Southern Railway
Company will accept the depot PROPOSE
ton from the state Of Georgia, and
that it will agree to the erection Of q
union station according to the plans
prepared by Bradford L. Gilbert for
the building of new station on the
present site.
While the Southern railway people
have made no official announcement OF
their decision, and while they will
probably cot do so until q meeting o1
the railroad men and the depot COM
mission, it is understood that Prest-
dent Samuel Spencer approves OF the
plans drawn by Architect Gilbert
Mr.. Gilbert showed the plans TO
President Spencer one day last week,
and according to letter received from
Mr.. Gilbert by Gov. Gambler Monday
morning, President Spencer expressed.
great surprise that the situation had
been solved, and intimated rather
strongly that he favored the plans. He
would not express an opinion. however,
and will not do so until a meeting Is
called by Governor Gambler.
The plans which Mr.. Gilbert had
with him here two weeks ago were
unfinished, and he will not complete
them until he has received suggestions
fro mall the railroad men concerned.
President j. w. Thomas, Of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis rail-.
road and General Manager T. K Scott,
of the Georgia Railroad Company,
have both seen the plans and approved
them. This fact has been made known
to Mr.. Spencer, and 1t is an assured
fact that when the Southern accepts
the Central of Georgia will dc the
same thing, these two roads being the
only ones to object to the proposition
as it originally stood. The Atlanta and
West Point will agree if the others do.
and the Seaboard Air Line officials an.
nounced months ago that they would
abide by any decision reached by the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
railroad.
This means that new depot will be
built in Atlanta on the present site. A
meeting Of the depot commission VIII
be called in a few days and at that
time the plans will be exhibited. II.
however, tho railroad men find It I'M
possible to attend such meeting, Ar
chitect Gilbert will visit each Official
personally and show the plans and re-
ceive their suggestions.
It is believed now that the whole
matter will be cleared up within Q
months time, and that work will be-
gin on the new station by July or Au-
gust. Although the appropriation for
the new station is not available until
July /, 1903, it is the general opinion
that contractors would accept the COM
tract to erect the station with the ap-
propriation payable when available.
The depot question has been hang
ing in the balance for several years..
and it will be a source Of delight to
people ali over the state to know that
it will be brought to an end by the
erection of magnificent new station:
on the property Of the state which sta
ton will be the property Of the state
and from which the state will collect =
big rental annually.

ual interest.
In the evening they repaired to the
exposition, where reception was held
at the auditorium.

TO GEORGIA WOMEN
Generous Donal.SnS are Made by
Educational Conference.
NEARLY TWENTY THOUSAND
Scholarships Provided in State Nor
NAL School and Contribution to
Winnie Davis Memorial.
A Stirring Scene.

The Southern Educational Confer
ence came to a close at Athens, Ca,
Saturday.
Four thousand FIVE hundred dollars,
one-half of the balance necessary to
complete the Winnie Davis memorial
hall; $500 to provide fifty three-year
scholarships of $50 each year at the
Georgia State Normal school, to dupli-
cate the forty-six scholarships provid-
ed by the women of Georgia; an offer
to duplicate for a period of three years
all new scholarships of $50 each that
the women of Georgia may provide be-
fore January 1, 1903, to number not
exceeding fifty, were the contributions
of the day of the general education
board to the women of Georgia.
Men cheered and wept and women
laughed and cried in the fullness of Joy
when they comprehended all that the
announcement meant. Ex-Governor
w. j. Northen, who was on the plat
form when the announcement was
made in the conference, sprang to his
feet and asked the women of Georgia
in the great audience to stand up, and
then, when they had done so, asked
the whole audience to stand up,> not as
people Of one state or many states, but
as people of one country.
The official offer is as follows:
"The general education board will
subscribe to the Georgia State Normal
school at Athens for period of three
years fifty scholarships of $50 each to
meet the forty-six scholarships now
provided by the women Of Georgia
$1,000 year for three years, $500 in
all. In addition to the above general
education board will duplicate for
period of three years new scholarships
Of $50 each that may be provided by
he<women Of Georgia before January
4, 1903, up to a number not exceeding
fifty.
Understanding that the women Of
Georgia have raised $4,000 toward a
fund of $4,000 for the erection Of the
Winnie Davis memorial hall, the gen.
eral education board will subscribe
one-half the balance, or $4,000; pro-
vided the remaining balance is sub
scribed before January l. 1908.
Signed, William fl. Baldwin, Jr.,
chairman; George Foster Peabody.
treasurer; Wallace Butterick, secre-
tary and executive officer; J. L. NJ.
Curry, Frederick T. Gales, Daniel G.
Gilman, Morris K. Jesup. Robert G.
Ogden, Walter H. Page, Albert Shaw.
If the conditions specified In this an
nouncement are complied with to the
full extent of the offer, as no doubt
they will be, the total amount of this
contribution of the general education
board will be S19,500.
It was several minutes before the
conference was sufficiently composed
to resume business.

CUBAN ARMY PENSIONS.

Sum Needed Amounts to Millions and
Staggers the President-EIect.
A special from Havana says: Gener-
ais Rabbi, Lor, Salcedo and Capote
have tried to obtain from President
elect Palma an assurance that the Gu
ban army would be paid. Replying,
Senor Palma said he was disposed to
favor the army, but more soldiers
would be needed than Cuba now
has. He never suspected, he said,
that the list of those to be paid con-
tanned 10000 names, and the estimate
of the amount due the soldiers, $780,
100000, frightened him.
"The payment CT this enormous sum
would annihilate u.s." said the presi-
dent. 81 would have to lease Cuba to
raise this amount"
