The last week has been marked by a
few theater parties, one large musicale
luncheon given by Mrs Douglas Welpton
in honor of her sister, Mrs. Griffin of Chi
cago; lunoheons and dinner parties given
in honor Of Captain and Mrs. Wildman,
who have recently returned from their
wedding journey; Mrs. C. d Grain of
Springfield o., and Mrs. Frederick Hill
of St. Louis. Mrs Arthur Brandeis gave
bridge party Thursday afternoon for a
number OF the visiting women. Aside from
these affairs, bridge has reigned supreme,
1t being almost a daily occurrence for
small parties Of four and eight to meet
informally and devote many hours Of the
day to their favorite pastime. It is won

not taken too seriously, But there are
many players who consider the misplay OF
a card a positive tragedy and lose no time

is that all pleasure is gone for the un-
fortunate offender, who feels rather thar

partner is freely distributing.

appropriated two hundred thousand dollars and
appointed a commissioner whose duty it is to
locate these forgotten graves, mark them by
appropriate headstones, and that the ground
is cared for and remains sacred soil This duty
undertaken by the Government largely as
a result of the efforts of the Charles Broad
way Rouss Camp, No. 11o1 United Confederate
Veterans, of Washington, D. c. This camp, by the
unceasing expenditure of time and money, and by
the untirng efforts of its commander Dr. Samuel E.
Lewis, was the first to take up the matter and by
this agitation of the question the present happy
suit was brought about.
The question is to be considered in two aspects:
first, why so many Confederates died and were
buried in the North and second the history of the
movement toward redeeming the graves from
oblivion
During the between the States there was no
official exchange till 1862, when agreement
known the Cartel of Exchange entered into
by the conflicting parties This contract held good
for about year, and during that period the Union
and Confederate men were returned to their
lands. But the end of that time the Union officials
refused act longer under this agreement, till at
last the situation became strained degree that

ITO consider the second aspect of the question,
l. which is the present movement by the United
States Government mark and for the graves of
the Confederate soldiers in the North it is necessary
to quote from President Mckiney's famous speech
at Atlanta on December IA, 1898. In it he saws:
And while when these graves were made we differed
widely about the future of this Government these differ

49, Perhaps may be permitted special pride
in it, because it seems to be carrying on the
work of reconciliation which my father began at
Appomattox in terms to Lees army, and which he
still further advanced when President he refused
his sanction to great series of paintings to
memorate the victories of the To be sure,
his modesty played part in his decision, for he

most of the canvases; but stronger motive

Still lived it would have been of the great
satisfaction to him that the Government had

Caring for the graves of the old soldiers is tribute
to sentiment, and will make its strongest appeal to
the women of both sides 1t will help, | hope, to
unite closely the South and the North but it
will touch women's hearts deepest. And this is as
it should be; for it is to women-to women of the
South-that the beginnings of the movement may
be- traced.
At the head of this page is stanza from the poem
that everybody knows, The Blue and the Gray;
but few probably know what the occasion of the
poem 1t afforded by the action of the
of little Southern town,-Columbus. Misss-
sppi,-who going out to decorate the graves of
the dead soldiers strewed flowers alike the graves
of the Confederates and the Federas. This was in
1867, and the spread through the papers, till it
reached poet Francis Miles Finch, who stirred
to write the lines which are read everywhere.
A Long Time Coming
TT seems fitting that the Government should
follow the example set by these generous women of
the South. This has been long coming 1t is more
than forty years since the smoke of the last conflict
cleared away from the fatefu field of Appomattox,
and men who were then beardless boys
white haired grandsires with a third generation
about their knees And for these forty years it
would seem if the thirty thousand Confederate
soldiers who died in Northern prisons and hospitals
were almost forgotten.
The Union dead had been cared for in national
cemeteries at a cost of several millions, Soldiers
Homes sheltered the helpless while over three thou
sand millions have been expended in pensions. In

CLEANING up AT0WN.

If our city fathers fell over
one another endorsing the sug-
gestion of The News that Lancas-
ter, following the example OF
Anderson, have a "cleaning ND
week." we have failed to hear of
it. Il will be recalled that the idea
of designating certain week for
cleaning up purposes originated
with the civic league of Ander-
son, and upon lis recon-
mendation was acted upon by
city council. The Anderson Mail
has the following to say as to
the general interest that has
been aroused in The Anderson
plan and as to the the exper-
fence of Denver, Colorado, along
the same line:
Anderson's "cleaniDg up week"
has attracted a great deal of at
tention throughout the state i,
and there have been many favor
able comments In the newspa-
pers and from private citizens
and otherwise. Many of the news
papers Of other towns are urging
that Anderson's example be
generally followed, and that a
week be set apart in every town
for cleaning up.

ago and Mayor Speer issued a
proclamation on the subject, in
the course of which he said:
