Henry came and stared at the plat

ed here this morning under the
most suspicious conditions. The
fact that, owing to an oversight,
the dates selected for the reunion
conflicts with the date selected for
the observance of Memorial Day
in the southern states, may have
caused some Confederate veterans
to remain away from tie reunion,
but their dropping out has caused
ne noticeable diminution of the
crowds which have come to this
city for the reunion. The city is
crowded with visitors from all
parts OF the United States, particu-
larly, of course, the southern
states. All public buildings and
many business houses ard private
residences are handsomely decorat
ed and Confederate flags are seen
side by side with the Stars and
