THE VETERAN IN GRAY
Address General Alexander
at West Point.
The Centennial Anniversary Exercises of This
Famous Military Institution. Speech by
General Scho6eId.
lBy the ASSOCIATED press.l

West Point, N. Y, June 9.-The centen-
NAL anniversary exercises of the estab-
lishment of the United States Military
Academy began today and will continue
until Thursday when the present first
class cadets, fifty-four members, will be
graduted. Lieutenant General Nelson
A. Miles arrived today and was honored
with a salute. In the afternoon the
graduates assembled in Thayer Hall,
where General John NJ. Schofield of the
class of 1S43. President of the Associa-
tion of Graduates. delivered an address.
Among the addresses made was one By
General E. Porter Alexander, class of 81
(Confederate) on ':The Confederate Vet
eran," and he prefaced his address with
these lines:
Once more the light of Jackson's sword
Far flashes through the gloom
There Hampton rides and there once
more
The toss of Stuart's plume.
Oh. life goes back thro' years today
And we are men once more;
And that old hill is Arlington,
And there, the alien shore.
And over ycnder on the heights,
The hostile campfires CULVER
And suddenly. twixt us and them
Flows by Potomac River.
After reciting the verses the general
continued:
"The Confederate veteran; with those
words does not there not arise in every
mind the thought of a meteoric army
which over forty years ago sprang into
eXistencea as it would seem out of space
and nothingness, and after a career CT
four years unsurpassed for brilliant
lighting and lavish outpour of blood, van
ished from earth as utterly as if it had
been a phantom OF imagination. :"
Whose vision is now so dull that he
does not recognize the blessing it is to
himself and to his children to live in
an undivided country, who would today
relegate his own State to the position it
would hold in the world were it declared
a sovereign, as are the States of Central
an dSouth America? The right
to seeede, the stake for which we fought
so desperately, were it now offered us as
gift, we would reject, it would be sui
cide.'

Colt holding to the fire escape and An
derson, tightly held by Colt with one
hand, reaching out toward the window,
so that the men one by one as they
crawled through were able to take one
step on a ledge, and make a short leap
TO the platform of the fire escape, down
which they made their way to the ground.
Twenty-Five men made their escape in
this manner.
The fire originated in the basement of
the building and spread rapidly to the
upper stories through the elevator shaft.
AS the cry of fire rang through the
building, patients sprang from their beds,
and before they could be prevented sew
eral had jumped from the windows to
the pavement.
A BLIND MANS MAD LEAP.
Alderman Kent was in room on the
fifth floor with his attendant, A. w.
Wattels. The Alderman. who had been
totally blind for many years. was in a
straight Jacket, and his hands were
manacled to belt that passed around
his waist. When the alarm of fire was
sounded Wattes ran to investigate. He
found the elevator shaft mass of flames
and ran back to help the alderman, who
blind and unable to do anything with
his hands. was almost mad with fear,
and was shouting like an insane person.
He had CROPPED his way to the door, and
by the time his attendant had reached
him, had fallen to the floor overcome
with smoke. Whattels seized him and
tried to drag him down the hall to a
place of safety, but Kent had become so
crazed that it was almost impossible to
do anything with him. Wattels was fin
ally compelled to run for his life, as the
flames were already scorching his cloth
ing. He ran to a window on the south
side of the building, across which were
iron bars. Wattels managed to tear two
of these from their fastenings. and with
two other men who had followed him.
climbed out on the sill.
A ladder was run up as high as posi-
BILE and the two men with Wattels were
taken down. He became crazed with ex-
element and not waiting for the return
Of the firemen, sprang for a net which
some men were holding on the sidewalk
beneath. He fell partly in it and partly
on the sidewalk, sustaining injuries,
which will probably cause his death in a
short time.
Kent, who was left lying on the floor
of his room, evidently died of suffocation.
Seven inmates of the sanitarium are
missing.

WOOL COMING IN.
Wagons Loaded With the Spring
Clips Now Arriving.
GOOD PRICES PAID.

Five hundred thousand pounds
would be an exceedingly low estimate
on the amount of wool brought to AL
buquerque from the surrounding coun-
try the past fortnight. The tempting
price paid by the local wool buyers is
the leading reason for the extraordin-
ary rush on the market. The fancy
prices paid by the Albuquerque mer-
chants are too high for the visiting
buyers. The Boston buyers have laid
clear down and very little of the pro-
duct has gone to out side buyers.
Home spectators are getting it all.
Wool that brought 8 and 10 cents
on the market last spring and fall, is
now bringing 101s and IL cents.
The Miera wool, 10000 pounds,
which was brought in last week
brought as high as liz cents.
Wool from the various Gross-Black-
well ranches is coming in in fair
amounts.
Several wagons from Atrisco came
in this morning.
r. F. Heller, the Cabezon sheep
grower and merchant is here today
with about 10000 pounds, and the clip
was purchased by local buyer at top
figures. Mr. Heller says the Cabezon
neighborhood has been blessed the
past week or ten days with some ex-
ceedingly fine rains.
