Nashville, Tenn, June 15.-At
Centennial Park today the corner

of the Masonic fraternity. State
Grand Master James L. Sloan presid-
ed. The orator Of the day vas Hon.
Henry Watterson of Louisville, KY
Mr.. Watterson said in part:
W build this monument. to valor.
We build it to pr0bity. We build it
30 glorious tribute to - men who
fell by our side. We lid it to the
spirit of the dead C~ontederacy. We
need not assert-we gre four years
proof-that we foCgHt for liberty.
Millions of US loved the Union. Mil
lions of us ietested slavery. Millions
OF us denied the doctrine Of seces-
sion. There is no smell of treason on
our garments, no faint of corruption
in u blood. Grant was the first
peacemaker. Lee give himself as
hostage for the rest of us. Two Con-
federate generals wear Ine Dlue
again, and the gray worships at its
shrines, even as we worship it. this
day; yea, with the encouragement
and sympathy of every true soldier
of the north.
Happy issue, happy we who have
lived to see it. Let us not wiring our
hearts by recalling the past-the
drums and tramplings Of the legions,
nor the faces Of the dead-but let us
rather feel that they died not in vain.
Let us rejoice hat out of the wreck,
the south saved her racehood and her
manhood. Finally. let us resolve that
if another day OF travail should over
take the reunited Union, the north
shall find in the south a shield and
a buckler alike against the organized
corruption of mammon and the mill
-tant insanity Of agrarianism, AID a
second 'irrepressible conflict forbid
ding the threatened collision between
capital and labor; forbfdding It in thu
name of the constitution, which as
sures uniformity OF laws; in the name
of the government. which. whilst en-
forcing those laws, will mete out eN
act justice and compel equality o
opportunity"

OLD DOMINION COST OF MINING
The Boston News Bureau says:

The Boston News Bureau says:
 'It has been costing the Old Do- minion from 8 to $6 per ton to mine its product, and at times the cost has been as high as ss per ton.
 ''Dr. L. D. Ricketts. of the Phelps Dodge forces, who is now in charge of the property, writes east in connec- ton with a reduction in the cost of mining:
 ''As the mine stands today it is too big and too expensive to maintain and operate to permit of a low cost of mining with low tonnage, but when We can decrease the grade of our ore, attempt no sorting on the surface and mine 15,O00 to 10000 tons per month, you can look for a tremendous de- crease in the cost.
 "'We will never however, be able to reach any record cost for mining and I think that if we can reduce the cost to a total of s3.50 per ton for mining we will be doing exceedingly we'll"

FARNHAM MAKES DAMAGING
ADMISSIONS BEFORE SLOSs

The suit of former Public Admins
traitor John Farnham to oust from Of
flee M. j. Hynes, his successor, was
given a hearing by Judge Sloss yester-
day. The evidence given by Farnham
the first Witness examined, showed
that he had been just as neglectful as
Hynes and had not been even as
prompt as the latter in filing his bond.
He said that he did not file his GER
tifcate of election until January 9
1902, and that he did not file his bond
until fourteen days later. He also tes-
titled that he simply brought his oath
of office to the office of the County
Clerk and had it marked filed and
