Crosses Of Honor.

One OF the greatest pleasures Che
Daughters OF Confederacy have is in
the bsstowal of "Crosses of Honor
on the old Veterans. The idea is
one of recent conception, and TO Mrs.
Mary Ann Cobb Erwin, Of Athens,
Ga, is due the inspired thought, and
the design was by Mrs. s. e. Cab
bett, of Atlanta.
Il is an appropriately designed
iron cross of st. John and bears the
Confederate battle flag surrounded
by O. laurel wreath, with the inscrip
tion: Southern Gross Of Honor
On the reverse side is the Confeder
ate motto, "Deo Vindici. 1861 1885,"
and "From u. D. O. to u u ""
More than twenty thousand Con
federate soldiers now proudly wear
this simple decoration, and many old
veterans lest wish is that it may be
placed on the stilled heart after TIE
great battle Of life is over and he
crosses over the river of death to join
the innumerable hosts who have fin.
ished the fight.
On one occasion at q Veterans re-
union wealthy woman tried to buy
one as souvenir. A battle SCARED
soldier said to her: "ATadam, this lit
tie cross represents the bloodshed of
the Southern army, and million
dollars would not buy one"
These crosses are given free to
every man who honorably served the
South during the war. No veteran
shall, under any circumstances, re.
ceive but one, and if that one is lost
he can never get another. They can
have their names engraved on the
PIN bar of the cross, and if any one
is not able to do this tho Daughters
will bear the expense of it.

CHINESE DOCTOR EN- ROUTE.
Mar Charged With Conspiracy to Kill
viceroy Now at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Cal. April E.-Dr.
Sun Vat Sen, a famous leader of the
Hing Chung Wooy, a Chinese progress
sive society, has arrived here en- route
to New York. He expects to sail thence
for China by way of the Suez canal to
take further steps toward the liberia
ton of his countrymen from the Tar
tar yoke. Sun Vat Sen came into great
notoriety in 1896 as a result OF being
kidnapped by the Chinese legation
on a charge of conspiracy to kill the
viceroy Of Canton. The methods of
the legation brought down the wrath
of the British government and a per
emptory demand of Lord Salisbury for
Sun Yat Sens release secured his free
dom, after a confinement of ten or
twelve days.
DR.. Sun va used to practice medi-
cine in Hong Kong. He is a graduate
of Harvard.
