WELCOME TO wHITELAw REID.
New Ambassador Honor Guest at Pill.
grims' Banquet at London.

Whitelaw Reid. the American ambassa-
dor, who has been officially received by
King Edward and the members of the cab
met and entertained socially by royalty and
the leaders of English society. made his
first public appearance as ambassador in
London last night at dinner given in his
honor by the Pilgrims Society of London.
The gathering included many of England S
most famous men. with sprinkling of
American residents OF London, all of whom
gave the heartiest welcome to the American
representative.
The large banquet hall at Claridge's was
crowded, and presented a brilliant scene.
The hall was plainly but daintily decked
with the entwined American and British
flags, huge bells of American Beauty roses
and clusters of other flowers, while the
numerous round tables at which the COM
pany dined were decorated with red and
pink roses and green climbers.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts presided. and
among the several hundred guests were
many prominent people.
Lord Romerts, in proposing toast to
King Edward and President Roosevelt, said:
THE first toast this vast program Is
one which cannot but appeal to everyone
in this room. 1t is that of King Edward
and President Roosevelt. 1 though that on
occasion such as this. when we pilgrims
of this country assembled to do honor to a
brother pilgrim in the person of the emin-
try to represent America at the court OF st.
James. that it would be appropriate to
bracket the names of the rulers of the re-
spectve countries, not only because they
are our rulers, bat because in their persons
we have two of the greatest peacemakers
of the present time.
II ask you all to drink to the health, long
life and prosperity OF the king and OF that
distinguished American gentleman, Presi-
dent Roosevelt"
Lord Roberts reference to President
Roosevelts efforts to end the war was re-
ceived with cheers.
To Premier Balfour fell the task of pro-
posing the toast of the evening. Mr.. Bal
four said that the sentiments with which
they regarded the American ambassador
were different from those meted out to the
representative of any other power. The
American ambassador represented. not an
alien power, but power or whose great
ness Great Britain was proud. and whose
progress Great Britain had watched with
interest. Each succeeding year made the
two great heirs of Anglo-SaNon c1Vlnzation
feel how much they had in common.
Whitelaw Reds predecessors had lndl-
Gated that it was the wish of America to
be little entanSled in the politics of the Old
world, but Premier BalfOur said he doubted
whether that doctrine, in its extreme purity,
would be much longer maintained, as IL
was not reasonable to think that some great
planet could be suddenly introduced in the
solar system and remain there without haV-
ing an effect on the other planets win
which it associated. This, the premier said
was seen in President Rcosevelts efforts
toward peace.

vinegar, together with a short crowbar. were the implements with which. after half an hours hard work I removed the prison bars and then Araminta slid gracefully down the ladder. She car ried a rather bulky bundle in her hands, which she said contained her clothes. Not a sound had been heard in the house and the escape was to prosaic that 1t was robbed of half its romance.
 But she was safe out of the clutches of the ogre, at any rate, and at the corner of the street which led to the station she pressed my hand in grat- itude and left me as the train footed in the distance.
 went back to my room thrilling with the delicious excitement of the occurrence. The next morning I was aroused by a terrible hullabaloo next door and I chuckled to myself.
 The old ogre has found that his prisoner is missing I grinned to my self. Then heard the sound of the old mans voice in a violent altercation with my landlord.
 T tell you," he shouted, somebody from this house has assisted in this dar- ing robbery! All my silverware stolen by this thieving maid of mine and her pal! watched her pretty closely, for she was a new girl, but somebody from your house has helped her get away with the plunder. I'll have the law on him. If find out who he is. that's what I'll do!'
 The old man stormed around like wild man, but for reasons of my own I said nothing of my part in the trans action. I soon convinced myself that the old fellow spoke the truth and that Araminta. whose real name was Mulli- gan, instead of Montmorency. had mere- ly played upon my credulity. I sup- pose Susan, who had overheard my story of my dream had repeated it to the Mulligan girl during a servants gossip.
 Somehow "Araminta" didn't sound nearly so sweet after that and the chug-chug of the car wheels seemed to say. on the way to the office:
 She fooled youI She fooled you! She fooled you!"
 But say. "Aramirta" sounded awful ly sweet the way the girl in the dream said iti

Headquarters A. P. Hill Camp, c. V.
 Petersburg. Va, Sept. 2S, 1905. The Grand Camp of Confederate Vet erans of Virginia will hold its next an nual meeting in the city of Petersburg on the 18th, 26th and 27th of October. 1905. For the entertainment of the Grand Camp and visiting veterans A. P. Hill Camp of Confederate Veterans of this city have determined to have on Thursday, the 26th of October. sham battle by the Virginia State troops on the field of the Battle of the Crater; for which purpose an invitation ments and other organizations of these troops. The undersigned, a special committee of A. P. Hill Camp. are ar- ranging with the officer who will be in command of the troops to have the sham battle conform as nearly as prac- ticable to that part of the famous bat tie of the 30th of July, 1864 in which the Confederate earthworks north of the Crater were recaptured by Ma hone's brigade with some other com mands. The charge of 800 or more young infantry, at double quick, with the rebel yell" and arms at a trail, from the very place at which and over the very ground over which Mahone's men made their charge on the morn lHB OL lHc Ddllle, tHG tary not firing a gun until reaching the crest of the hill, but being fired at by the enemy stationed there and along the rim of the Crater as they double quick up the 200 yards of hill- slope, will present a stirring and strik- ing spectacle alone we'll worth seeing, but one not less notable than will be the sight of the line of surviving par ticipants who, a short time before the military make their charge, will be formed in line of battle as on the morning of the 30th of July, 1884, will have a short address from Colonel William H. Stewart, their commander and then kneel in prayer.
 The committee cordially invite all surviving ex-Confederate soldiers who participated in the battle, whether in infantry or artillery commands, to be present on Thursday, the 26th of Oc- tober, 1905, to witness these exercises on the battlefield of the Crater, and being unable to reach these comrades, widely scattered as they are, the com mittee respectfully ask the newspapers of Virginia, North and South Carolina. Georgia, Alabama Mississippi and oth- CT States. particularly Southern States, to aid them in swing circulation in their columns to Ais announcement.

jWhen Quarantines are Raised Railroad Omcinls VIII be Relieved-Gos-

Railroad schedules during the sum mer months have been irregular on ac- count of the yellow fever in New or leans and other points. but from pres. ent indications the regular service VIII be resumed in short while.
 Out of Montgomery. the only day train running through to New Orleans is train No. s. the local train. leaving early each morning. This train runs through to New Orleans, the crews being relayed at Grand Bay. as it does the local work between Mobile and New Orleans. Train No. 1, leaving Montgomery at 11:15 a. m. stops at Mo- bile, the mail and through passengers being held there until the arrival or train No. 3. which leaves Montgomery at e:30 ?. m. This train does double work, as in addition to its own run. which is always heavy. 1t takes the mail, baggage and passengers Of train No. i into New Orleans.
 It is very probable that within the next week of two this train will again be run through to New Orleans as usu- al, and that in short time the sched- ules on all the roads will be regular.

RADICAL STEPS
Taken by the New York CentraI-N0
 Loans to Other Roads.

The New York Central system and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad manage ment have taken radical action to pro- tect shippers and have placed an em- bargo on their cars and are refusing to send them to foreign roads for ship ments of freight.
 In fact, this action is being enforced rigidly in the East, where the scarcity of cars is being felt more keenly than in any other part of the country. The Pennsylvania, the New York Central and the Baltimore and Ohio have here tofore, been willing to send their cars to points of shipping on other roads These roads have an abundance of cars to take care of their own shipping and have determined to do this raUher than allow foreign lines to cater to the shippers with rolling stock of their respective lines.
 A high traffic official of the PennsyI- vania is authority for the statement that the steady growth of traffic this fall will make 1t necessary to adopt every possible means in order that the immense tonnage may be handled with as little delay and congestion as pos Gible.

Gould,. Western Pacific.

A dispatch to The San Francisco Ex- aminer from Los Angeles says: George Gould Is already building his line from San Francisco to Los Angeles, which will form a portion of his Western Pa- cihc system.
 Where his efforts are to be seen is in the construction of the Bakersfield and Ventura Railroad, now being built from Oxnard. in the direction of thIs city. The line is supposed to be for an electric road, but is being con structed with heavy steel, of standard gauge, so that it can easily be operat- ed as a steam road It was rumored that Henry T. oxnard was behind this enterprise, but this has been officially denied. From an authoritative source. the statement comes that the road is part of George GouId's plan to prac- tically duplicate the Southern Pacida System in California.
