To-day is the forty-first anniversary OF
the Battle of Sharpsburg, which was

TENDER, 1852 1t was one of the most
desperate battles of the war, both armies
displaying heroic courage. General Lees

Clellan (who commanded the Union army
stated in his Official report that he had
S7,164 men.
Although so greatly outnumbered the
Confederates successfully resisted the re-
peated assaults of the Union troops. and
remained in possession of their lines all
next day awaiting a renewal Of the battle.
In this battle North Carolina lost many

them two of her generals, General George

Next to having pearl necklace herself,
a woman gets the most joy out of her

When a woman is not jealous about a
man she loves 1t is because he is sick
abed, where he can't see anybody
What makes a woman specially happy
is to do something for loves sake that
she would be ashamed TO do for duty's.
You can tell a girl who isn't engaged
by the way she pretends to be and a

FRANCIS WAS MADE
WELCOME IN PARIS.
President of the Exposition Was
rendered a. BANQUET.

Paris, March "A remarkable DEM
onstration of Franco-American cor
diality occurred at the banquet given
at II o'clock this morning in the Ho-
tel Continental to President Francis of
the st. Louis Exposition. 1t was I'M
der the presidency of Minister of Com
merce Trouillet, and was attended by
500 of the foremost officials, including
personal representative of President
Loubet.
The corridors leading to the banquet
han were lined on either side by long
lines of Republican Guards in brilliant
uniforms, with FURNISHED helmets and
flowing red plumes. On the upper land
ing was stationed the famous band of
the One Hundred and Fourth Regi-
ment of Infantry, which played the
'Marsellase" as the distinguished Off
Gals assembled. When President
Francis appeared he was enthusiastic
cally greeted, and the band played
the Star Spangled Banner" during a
prolonged demonstration.
The decorations of the hall were sig
nificant of Franco American fraternity,
the central piece being a sunburst of
tri-colors and stars and stripes. On
the artistic menu card was an engraV-
ing typifying American energy, and the
card was embellished and entwined
with the flags of France and the
United States.
After an elaborate meal. speeches of
welcome We're made by Nj. Ancelot.
president of the French Foreign Ex-
position Committee and the Minister
of Commerce. NJ. Ancelot closed his
remarks with presenting to Mr.. Fran
els a superb miniature painting repre-
sentative of French art.
The Minister of Commerce. in be-
half of President Loubet and the min
istry, presented MIR. Francis with a
magnificent Sevres vase and to Mrs.
Francis he presented an exquisite fan
of ivory, lace and silk.
Mr.. Francis made a feeling response,
saying he recognized that his recep-
ton was chiefly a tribute to the cor
diality of French sentiment toward
the sister republic. He closed with a
speech in French, which evoked great
applause.
The banquet was ended with the
playing of the Star Spangled Ban
ner," and amid a scene of much en-
thusiasm Mr.. Francis hurried away to
catch the train for Berlin.
