Towards the close hls speech was interrupted by a heavy shower of rain which commenced to fall but the crowd sat in the drenching rain and listened with marked attention to his eloquent words which caused tears to trickle down the cheeks of many of the old veterans and others who were present
 After Mir Rlackwelrs address Miss Re- becca Leadingham delivered a neat little talk and presented each of the old Con- federate soldiers present with a pretty cross of honor made of bronze in behalf of the Daughters of the Confederacy.

 Fully four acres of ground are covered by massive scenic effects to represent the ancient city of PompeIi and its treacher- ous Vesuvius. One of the most thrill ing and tragic episodes in Ruman his. tory is depicted in Pains marvellous spec tacle, and nearly three hundred people are seer in it's stirring scenes.
