THE OLD CONFEDERATES
 AND THE CRESCENT CITY
BY WILL T. STEPHAN.

that city three years ago. No other city can so attract the soldier of the Confederacy as New Orleans. It is es- sentialiy Southern. Its traditions as French as 1t is. harmonizes with the traditions of the old South. The Con- federate soldier knows that New Or leans is of the South and that for the men who wore the grey she has always. the outstretched hand and the open door,
 Its location Is ideal for the asseTb- ling of Southern crowd for 1t Is al most midway between the western South and the eastern South. Tn the cloudy gloomy days which followed the bloody war thousands and thousands of confederate veterans moved to Texas from Louisiana, from Mississippi, from Alabama. from Georgia from Florida from every Southern State. In New Orleans they and their old comrades from the old home State can meet mid- way and clasp hands. The western veteran and his eastern kin can meet in the hispitable city and tell eachother of family affairs. No other city of the South enjoys New Orleans's splendid location. No other Southern city can well entertain them and the atten- dant crowds.
 The annual Confederate reunion has now assumed such proportions that only few Southern cities can hold and en- l tertain It. Birmingham has bravely offered herself as hostess and urged her willingness, but 1t will be a great task for city the size of Birmingham. Consider the visitors who were guests of the Crescent City to the number of i05,000. If the crowd should be as large in Birmingham as 1t was in New Orleans, the Magic City would have two visitors for every one of her own citi- zens.
 Richmond. the host of the next year. has set herself to do a great task. Her sympathy and her hospitality for the Confederate soldier is not to be doubt ed. and it may be within the power of Richmond to house and care for the great crowd which will next year as- semble. and if so. the task will be roy ally accomplished. The efforts of the old Southern Capital will be measured only by the full limit of her ability.
 But the Confederate Reunion Is the greatest annual event held in the South There is no other occasion or event to compare with it. There Is no other event which matches it in inter- est and there Is no other occasion which assemblies such crowd.
 And 1t grows bigger each years ex- cept that in the future, as Time hur- ries on, there will be fewer and fewer of the veteran wearers of the gray to meet and clasp hands with their old comrades.
 Age is demanding it's debt.

 Mobile. May 1.
 James Tierney, pipeman of Hose Company No. 3, Mobile Fire Depart ment was electrocuted thi safternoon at 2:50 o'clock in the burning residence of James H. GIennon, 955 Palmetto street. Assistant Chief George My ricks, Captain John Marquis of No. q. William Burns, Felix Revere and Thomas Lewis pipeman, also suffered shocks, and Captain James Reef was badly injured in the head from falling piece of timber.
 The call was sent in from Box AT, at 2.40. The department responded, but on arrival the entire roof was in flames. Tierney and Marquis, with nozzles, went into the garrett and were fight ing the fire. Suddenly Marquis was seen to fall. When an effort was made to rescue him, he exclaimed Catch the other man." A rush was made to the burning attic, by William Burns and in endeavoring to rescue his fellow fireman he was severaIy shocked. Fi- naIly he succeeded in getting Marquis from his position. Tierney was caught between two wires and Chief Thomas Price took him across his shoulder to carry him from the burning building. Tierney was gasping when lowered but when his chief bore him to the free air he was dead.
 James Tlerney was Z8 years Of age, native of Mobile, and had been in the fire department for twelve years.
 He was one of the best men in the service" said Chief Price in broken tones when speaking of the dead fire man.
 Mfr. Tierney is survived by his aged mother, wife and one child, two broth CTS, one of whom, Walter Tierney is in the fi=e department and two sisters.
 The residence was almost total loss.

New Orleans entertained 1O5.0O0 visi- tors If the visitors who went to New Orleans were gathered permanently to- gether in anyany one place they would form a city larger than Atlanta, or if we take census figures, A city much larger than Mobile and Birmingham, It was the biggest reunion ever held in the South. Perhaps no other reunion will be so large until another Is held at New Orleans.
 In the attendance of veterans the high water mark has been reached If may be doubted, however, if there were so many Confederate veterans in New Orleans as there were three vears ago, although the crowd of visitors was undenIably large. But in tba main they were younger men and wome en drawn to the Crescent City by the interest and excitement. as well as hv the pictursequeness of the quaint Frencb City on the Mississippi. the Paris Of tha Western Continent.
