The Confederate Veteran of Nashville
copies two verses of Maurice Thomp-
sons poem, High Tide at Gettysburg"
and expresses surprise that any South
erner could have penned such senti-
ments Doubt is expressed as to
Thompson's having been born in Geor-
gia and served in the Confederate
army. l am quite sure that Thomp
son once lived in North Georgia, at or
near Calhoun, and that he served in
North Carolina company of mounted
rangers during the Civil War on the
Confederate side. After the surrender,
however, he went to Indiana to live,
and died there a few years ago. His
burial as a Confederate soldier under
the escort of the G. A. r. created con-
siderable comment at the time. Thomp-
son was gifted and versatile writer,
in prose, poetry or fiction, doing al
ways good work; and it is true that in
some of his later poems his sentiments
were not such as the Confederate Vet
eran would heartily indorse. Several
months ago Landon Knight, in the Ma
tional Magazine of Boston, under the
title of "A Cradle of Great Americans"
claimed that Brookvile, Ind. was the
birthplace of a score of eminent men,
including Gems. Lew Wallace and
Burnside and Capt. Herndon, u. S. N,
Gen. F. a. Shoup and Maurice ThOmp-
son, G. S. a. One of the illustra-
tons, a plain, two-stOry house, is des-
ignated as the birthplace of Maurice
Thompson, poet, naturalist and novel
ist." Is there a Georgian who can tell
positively where he was born? Since
writing the above, l see that Mr.. VIII
II. Thompson, a brother of Maurice, has
been visiting the scenes of his child
hood and the old Thompson home near
Calhoun, Ga. l presume this settles
the question. AS to the Veterans criti-
cism, I think it is a little on the Bill
Arp" line. The war has been oyer
nearly forty years, and ThOmpson's
poem simply breathed a spirit of unity
and brotherly love. Sidney Herbet.

A Monkey with "A story.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Washington.-If monkeys were en-
dowed with the faculty of speech, as
Prof, Garner would believe, few per-
haps, could furnish a more curious
narrative than a little marmoset which
fight saw the light of day in one of the
bird and animal stores of the capital.
The Brazilian marmosets, a group OF
diminutive monkeys of several species,
exceedingly popular as pets throughout
the civilized world, make one of the
few genera of monkeys that OCCASION
ally have young in captivity, in fact,
they are perhaps the only South Amer
lean simians of which this is true, and
even with them births In captivity are
rare. 1t was, therefore, a great surprise,
about year ago, to the proprietor of
the store to find one morning added to
a newly purchased stock of animals
which included pair of the white-ear-
ed marmosets, three little monkeys that
had not been bargained for.
Two of them died. but he succeeded
i'll raising the third, which in a few
weeks time was healthy, husky
youngster, as lively as a cricket and as
clipper as a sparrow.
One day, some two months later, an
under secretary of the Brazilian lega-
ton visited the store with his wife, and
when the woman saw the amusing lit
funny, little black nose through the
meshes of the cage, she purchased tile
entire family outright.li /.
She entertained, 1t seems, a .senti-
mental regard for marmosets. sympa-
thizing with those of the little animals
which she saw in captivity, and wish
ing they were back in their native
Brazilian forests. According to her
view, it was a downright sin to take
these droll little monkeys away from
their native land and the sunny skies
into the cold bleak North, and wher-
ever she went. she purchased all the
marmosets she could find. that were
for sale, and took them back to their
native land, releasing them in the trop-
ical forests.
In this case she not only purchased
the marmoset family, baby and all, but,
two months later when she and her
husband returned to Brazil, she took
them with her and. as she afterward
wrote to the dealer, released them in
the jungles not far from her home.
Thus the little marmoset born In
Washington, II he were able to speak,
could boast of the curious fact that he
was the only marmoset in Brazil born
in the United States.

FOUGHT IN THE CHURCH.
Free Thinkers Caused Trouble
When the Priest Spoke.

Free Thinkers Caused Trouble
when the Priest Spoke.
Paris, May 1.-THE threatened anti
clerical manifestations in the Paris
churches did not come off to-day. The
only serious trouble occurred this aft
ernoon at Belleville. When a priest
entered the pulpit of church there.
shouting, Enough. Who authorized
you to speak?"
Members of the Society of Catholic
Youths who were present in strong
force, thereupon attacked the manifes-
tants with their fists and with canes.
The melee quickly became general;
chairs were thrown, and women began
shrieking. The police were called in,
separated the combatants and expelled
those who had started the manifesto
lions. Five persons were arrested and
several were injured. The arrival of
two funerals helped to restore order.
A church at Plaisance was the scene
of an attempted disturbance by Social
lists, but the presence of 5000 defenders
of the priests, mostly LaVillette butch
ers, who surrounded the altar and the
pulpit oVeraWed the Socialists, and no
trouble occurred.
AT Marseilles there was an anti-cler-
ical manifestation in which 5000 people
participated They marched through
the stretes, singing electromagnetic, ;"
and other revolutionary songs. The
crowd proceeded to the prefecture,
where 1t handed in set of resolutions,
congratulating the government on its
attitude toward the religious congrega-
tons, and demanding the separation of
church and state. The project prom
ised to transmit these resolutions to
the government.
The trouble was resumed this evening
at the Plaisance Church, where Jes-
uit priest had announced he would
preach. Some 600 ant-clericals assem-
hled around the church, in which there
had gathered about 400 Catholics, In
Guiding Max Regis and other proni-
nent men, who were there to defend
the clergy. The situation was such
that project of police Lepine was sent
for and hurried to the scene.
While a strong force of policemen
prevented the anti-clerica1s from enter
ing the church, M. Lepine induced the
women in the building to leave by a
side door. The men in the church left
in body by the main door, and pa
raded the streets in the neighborhood
shouting, Long live liberty"
Several minor rows ensued. During
one of these NJ. Lepine was struck on
the head with a bottle. He was not
severely hurt.

That Is the Charge Made Against
Mrs. Bedford.
London, May 17.-Mrs. Cunning s.
Bedford, who was arrested by detec-
tives from Scotland Yard at Queens
town yesterday upon the arrival of the
Cunard Line steamer Umbria, upon
which vessel she. her baby and maid
were saloon passengers, will be charged
in Bow Street Police Court tomorrow
with making a false declaration of
birth.
Mrs. Bedfords husband, who lived
in London, died recently in Paris, leav-
ing property estimated to value $780,
900 to his wife and child. Relatives
who are contesting the will allege that
Mrs. Bedford had no children, and that
she procured a child pretended it was
hers and deceived her husband for the
purpose of securing his entire prop
erty.
1t is alleged that on Dec. IS, 1902, Mrs
Bedford, representing herself as the in
fant's aunt, registered the birth of the
child Eugene, as having occurred in
London Dec. II. Two months later Mrs
Bedford is said to have gone to the
United States to claim the money.
Having failed in this, she was on her
way to Paris to prosecute further the
childs claim.
The prosecution asserts that no child
was born at the address given in Wo-
born Place, London, for three years
prior to the date given.
