CONFEDERATE DEAD.
Interesting Letter Concerning History
 of Those Buried fin Ohio,

Greenwood. Miss, Sept 1l.-Capt. D. T. Mitchell is in receipt of the follow ing interesting letter concerning the history of the Confederate dead buried in Ohio:
 My Dear sir-1 am now preparing a history of the Confederate dead that are buried in Ohio. and more particu- larly of Camp Chase and Johnson's Is Der of regiment and company, and also q plot of the cemetery so that any one can locate the position in the ceme- tery where their dear ones lie. In the book will be related many incidents that occurred at those places during the time of the war, and will also refer to the occurrences since that time and also the connection that I have had W, wi'n th thSse places up to the unveiling over the many letters. newspaper clip pings, etc. that I have for subjects and matter for this history, I would like for you to write me an article re- garding your experience while a pris- oner at Camp Chase. with an account of the escape of Samuel G. Grasty and your connection herewith. also any other incidents which you think would be of interest that relate to the sub ject matter of my history. Such an article would be of mucM value tA me In making the book interesting and think will be greatly appreciated by all who are readers of it. The book will contain many illustrations, showing the prisons as they were when you and your comrades were confined in them. and also the various cemeteries as they were at the times of the several me moral occasions that have been held there; and especially on the day of the unvetlfng of The Monumental Arch'' when I gave 1t over to the Daughters of the Confederacy. And now quite re gently there has come to light a pack age of over 200 old letters which have been buried in a pile of old rubbish that were written over forty years ago by the prisoners In Camp Chase They were entrusted to Mrs. c. NJ. Clark, who Is referred to in some of the let ters, as from Hamilton. O., Richmond Va. and Memphis. Tenn. We Infer rom the letters that she volunteered to get them through the lines to the Southern homes. but for some reason did not succeed. and now after over torty years these same letters ara round In what we suppose Is the oriq inal package as 1t was taken iron, her for most of the letters had never heen opened. Some of these letters aye ,,erw pathetic, I assure you. and am going to have some of them Autographed and published In full. The balance [ ex- pect to refer to by giving the writers party to whom written and a few am having copied in full as the ink was too faint to be Autograph and in this way any who are still living and tnc IeiI''' anu TelatlVeS Of those who are dead can see them. I would like to find that Mrs. Clark One of the let ters refers to her as having two broth CTS by the name of Moons living at Memphis. Tenn. I hope that VOL will honor my request. l want to get the book in the printers hands as soon as possible as I presume it will contain some 300 or 400 pages. Trusting that you will pardon this long letter, am yours truly,
 William H. Knauss.

NO HONOR IN VICTORY
CRIPPLED MONTGOMERY TEAM
 WAS DEFEATED EASILY.
The Little Rock Team Won the Doubleheader on Ladies' Day,
 the Scores Being 5 to and

With Ike Durret and Gladys Moles- worth. the two surest swatters of the Pretzels disabled. with a utility catch on the third sack, with a twirIer in centre and an Alabama Tennessee glory was gained by Miaue Films tailenders in the double header yes- terday by scores of 5-2 and 11-1. The second game of the double header lasted only five innings. It see those five innings. Tim Murnane has written many books on how to play baseball. He should interview | almost the entire Pretzel outfit that performed in the two contests of yes- terday afternoon and write several volumes on how not to play baseball The book would be of immense value to young players.
 It was ladies' day. Ladies throng- ed the grand stand. encouraged by re- cent Pretzel victories. but the players were not good to the fair sex and mighty little baseball did they see. In the first game Roy Hale was op- posed to Bolin on the firing line. Hale pitched fair ball, but costly errors by Busch and Delehanty did business to Montgomerys chances of winning.
 In the game wil~ie Clark injured a. finger and was unable to throw to bases throughout the next contest. He worked hard and gamely, however, un- Ill., iihe tue Tcsl ol pdSept III IONeTS. ne became disgusted with the antics of MT. Brandt who essayed to twirl.
 Brandt should be given one more chance and if he can duplicate the misery of the ball he pitched. he should be placed in a museum for Cy Young, Joe McGinnity. Jack Chesbro and Christy Matthewson to laugh at. He filled the bass repeatedl, with walks and then forced men in by soak ing batters in the spinal column with inshoots. When he did put one over. 1t was driven to the tall uncut. E Little Rock made II runs Tn i've innings. They could have made twice the number but when they saw the cinch, they had compassion and quit making scores
 Montgomery's run was resultant of a bunt beat. out by Busch and thrown badly by Granville and a long drive for two bags by Brandt.

WILL VISIT BOSTON.
The Archbishop of Canterbury to be at
 Episcopal Convention.

Boston Correspondence of Louisville
 Courier Journal.
 Naturally the most interesting figure among the guests of the Episcopal con- vention. to be held here in October, is that of the archbishop of Canterbury. Boston has entertained guests of every conceivable claim to high consideration, from royalty to science. literature. dis covery or invention. but an archbishop of Canterbury is unique figure, for whom there is no exact precedent.
 The question of the hospitality to be offered to his grace Is practically set tied He will be the personal guest of Bishop Lawrence and will occupy the bishops Commonwealth Avenue residence. while the bishop and his family remain In their Cambridge home. As for the prestige due his rank. which in England Is first of all after royalty. that is a question easily writ by wellbred people.
 Personally. Dr. Randall Thomas Davidson. the Most Reverend the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury. Primate of all Finland and Metropolitan" is said 10 be one of the most unassuming of gentlemen. On his public appearance In England he must, perforce, assume the pomp and power of his stately of flee. An archbishop of Canterbury is attended by four chaplains and two trains bearers who wear either violet or scarlet according to the bishops own costume. If in his convocation robes of scarlet his attendants appear in the same color. Dr. Davidson is the ninety-fifth archbishop of Canter- bury, and 1t is he who Is the initial one to visit the United States. He creates precedent which will doubt less be followed hereafter His grace is not considered as especially a bril- liant man. but he has qualities which are greater than brilliancy He has remarkable boise: he has a gift for organization which fairly amounts to genius. He Is in thorough and com plete sympathy with the best and most practicable methods of education. tenn perance and all that makes for social advancement. Although he has always been churchman of the most ritualis- tic type, he is never a believer in form for the mere forms sake. The ritual is to him & mode of expression. a docorous and fitting symbolic worship calculated to express and to impress devotional thought and feeling.
 The archbishop is a very valuable member of the House of Lords. in which he has. ex-oficio, a seat: not only because he is an intelligent and sagacious statesman, but especially be- cause of his intimacy in the royal family he is particularly calculated to act as mediator between the throne and the parliamentary policies. His visit in Boston will be matter of keen interest, and the convention is drawing homeward many Bostonians who would otherwise remain away until much later in the autumn.

or no rain. Grounds in good shape"
But it all availed nothing. Neither
the bravery of those who went, or
those who stayed and hoped that they
could. The baseball field was a swim
ming pool after the shower at 3
o'clock got in it's work. Manager
Alberts tore a few planks off the
bleachers and with these as life pre-
servers he rescued the three bases
which were floating around out in
center field. Alberts is too bow-legged
to swim and the rest of the baseball
players feared for his life. He came
back safely, however, with his three
sacks of wet sawdust-
President Shiveley was on hand in
a new lavender cOlored spring suit,
which was a beauty. Umpire Frank
lin, who isn't bigger than a minute,
got hit by u drop of rain and was
almost drowned. After a consultation
between the two il was decided to
call off the game.
BY that time the whole territory
around there was flooded. Mayor
Bergundthal. who is a big man, got
one of the wire ropes which are used
to enclose the field. He took one end
of this and waded through the water
towards the gates. Players, kids
and others took a good hold on the
rope, and in this way perhaps many
drownings were avoided. A few
lodged in the cedar trees and stayed
over for tOday'S game.
