hibited.
The reporter was invited to allow cleo
tricity to pass through his body, which. by

of the students submitted to the expert
ment. 1t was explained that enough cleo
tricity passing through his body to
kill him were ii not for the restraining

dents, were also shown.

PRAISE FOR THE CAPITAL

Representative John W. Gaines In
censed Over Reports of an Episode
of Yesterday.

The short gray jacket worn by the SOL
diers of the confederacy during the early
days Of the civil war was in evidence on
the streets of Washington today, as many
of the grim old fighters of Lee, Jackson,
Hood and Forrest went about the city
sightseeing after their CHEEKY experience
at the former capital of the confederacy.
tall ex-Johnny reb., who was with
Pickett when he made his famous charge
up the slopes of Gettysburg was standing
on the platform on the dome of the Capt.
toll this forenoon gazing upon Washing
ton, spread out before him like map, and
lavishly praisng the beauties of the
tional city, when a lady asked him why
the confederates wore the little bob-tailed
Jackets which fit closely about the
waist, instead of the more comfortable
blouse or coat.
replied, you were almighty hard
up during the war, and the only cloth we
could get, except the homeSpun article,
was Brought by blockade from England.
The Yanks kept up pretty strict blockade
along our coasts and the gray cloth became
very precious commodity. 1t was. there
fore, decided to make the short jackets.
which became such a feature of the con-
fedcrate army. BY doing this our tailors
saved the quantity of cloth that would
have gone into the coat tails, and when
TINS is CONSIDERED IN connection with tne
manufacture of thousands of the gray
jackets, the amount of cloth saved be-
comes considerable. No, ma'am, the
Jackets were not as pretty as the blouses
and coats worn by you uns, but to us now
they are pretter than the gauZy, gold
lined costumes the angels are supposed to
wear, even though they be moth riddled
and faded after their experience in sun
shine and rain, in camp and on the field of
carnage"

Advance in Price of Beef Not I'm
usual for June

While there has been a general advance
of from to cents per pound in all
grades of beef in this city, the men claim
they are not responsible for the advance,
and that prices now prevailing in the
wholesale market are by no means abnor-
NAL for this season OF the year In a con-
versation with the representative of one of
the big western beef houses this morning
Star reporter was assured that prices
this year were but little if anything higher
than they were five years ago, and refer
ence to the records of the house sustained
the statement.
Beef today, it was stated, sold at from
S@ to cents per pound. June 6, 1891, it
sold at S1s to cents; 1892, at 10 to II
cents; 1903, Sl2 to 8 cents; 1904, 81 to 8
cents; 1908, SA cents, and 1906, 8 to SE
cents. 10 get these prices the meat had
to be bought by the hundred pounds.
The advance that has taken place in
price of beef, it was stated, is but the regu-
lar June advance, which occurs each year.
The winter corn-fed cattle gone and
the grass cattle has not come in, and this
has caused a shortage in the supply and
the consequent advance.
The Star reporter called attention to the
advance made by the retailer
we cannot control the price asked by
the retail man." he said. That's his bust
ness. All can say is that the advance in
prices is usual at this time of the year,
and that the advance of a cent and frac-
ton on the pound that has been made in
the past week is not at all excessive when
compared with former years
retail dealer this morning stated to a
star reporter that the cheaper grade of
peer had been advanced 1Oc. per hundred
pounds in the past twenty-four hours
Roasts have advanced rom 10c. and &c.
10 &c and 15c. per pound; choice steak
which sold last week at 1Sc. and 2Oc per
pound is now selling at 25c. to 3Oc. per
pound, and other cuts have advanced in
proportion.

to Capt. Hager, They won't let you gentle
men go in with your arms, or in marching
order. Just lay your arms down.
Order Obeyed.
Capt. Hager gave the order Immediately,
which was obeyed at once without the
slightest murmur that I heard from any
one, although it is stated they objected to
doing so.
II turned then and asked the three men
in question if one of them would watch
their arms while they visited the Capitol
and the eldest of the three promptly and
CURLY replied: They can furnish their
two policemen If they would guard the
arms, and they promptly said they would
and did. l turned again to the three men
In question and asked if the veterans could
which they had been marching under and
were still holding aloft, and the eldest of
the three men said: No sir. they can't take
in anything The color bearer promptly
party then went into the Capitol hur-
riedly looked through it, hurried back took
up their arms and flag and marched to the
street between the War and Navy building
arms. and in few minutes were given a
hearty handshake and welcome by the
President.
They came out and in a short while got
at 3:45 O'Clock. 1t was not their intention
at any time and not one of us ever thought
of taking their arms into the chambers
of the Capitol. 1t was their purpose, of
course, to stack them somewhere near the
Capitol building and go in, like other gem
tlemen have done, and the statement to the
contrary-that is, that they desired to go
in with their arms, or intended to do so. is
wholly unfounded and unjust.
Regarded as Prearranged.
at was evidently prearranged that they
should be stopped at the limits of the Capt.
toll grounds by these three men. One of
them said when 1 first addressed them that
he had a copy of the rules, and began to
read pencil memorandum On card, when
1 turned and said to Capt Hager to direct
his men to take off their arms. l cannot
believe. if there is such a law or rule, that
it was intended to apply, was done in
this case. These men had their military
permit. and 1t seems to me should have
been allowed to go up to the top of the hill
they intended, to stack their arms and
make their visit into the Capitol.
1.-The rule or law whatever it is, I never
heard of before. nor have l been able to
find member of Congress who has heard
of it. If it is in existence. it. was Intended
to apply while Congress is in session, be-
cause the Speaker of the House. it seems,
must join with the Vice President before
it can be susp pended and since have had
no Speaker of the House since the 18th of
March at II O'Clock. and won't have any
until the first Monday of December at II
o'clock, 1t would hence prevent the Pres
ident, the commander-in-chief CT the army
and navy. with even military belt around
him passing through the Capitol grounds
But | do not wish to argue the question,
my purpose being to show that the Confed-
crate Veterans submitted to the rule and
regulation without a murmur and never
for a moment thought of doing otherwise,
or of going into the chambers of the Cap
itol with their arms.

Touching Feature Of Visit.
A touching feature of the visit Of the men
In gray to Washington is the great respect
with which they treat a venerable colored
man who accompanied the party from Rich
mond, and who was a feature of the parade
there The name of the old black uncle"
is Whitlock Field, and he is bowed with
the weight of years. In the parade at
Richmond he was carried at the head of
the line on the arm of of the white
veterans owing to his afirmites. The aged
colored veteran of the south Is said to have
been on every battlefield on which the list
Tennessee Regiment fought in the civil war.
Whitlock was the body servant of Col.
Hume Field, the commander of the regi-
ment. He lives in Pulaski, Tenn, attends
every general confederate reunion, and pays
his own expenses.
The veterans of the 1st Tennessee who
were at the White House made much of
the old man. They wanted him to have a
special presentation to the President, but
Mr. Roosevelt had a luncheon engagement,
and the southern visitors passed along SO
rapidly that Whitlock didn't have a chance
to say anything to him.
Some of the battle flags carried by the
southernerS were reduced to ribbons and
fragments by the blasts of war through
which they were borne by their defenders
in the sixties. In many instances today
venerable Union veterans could be seen
plotting their former foes to the places of
interest in the city and gaily chatting over
the strenuous days of yore when they met
in deadly combat.
Representative Gaines Incensed.

We're about to enter the grounds at the

Of New Jersey avenue on 3 street one of

II asked him: Who won't"
