Confederate flags and American
Beauty roses put the outside drearincss
to rout and warmed the hearts of the
old soldiers with their glowing color
and their appeal to patriotic ardor.
The rich tones Of flags and flowers
were matched by the hues of draperies
and wall hangings, by the sparkle OF
chandelier pendants, by the subdued
illumination of softly-shnded lamps
and the sparkle of bright eyes.
The spaciousness of the rooms and
their sweeping vistas, the comfort and
the cordial cheer of the interior seemed
most alluring to tho eyes of Confeder-

THOMAS F. RYAN HAS
QUIT WALL STREET

Back to Nelson
County.
is STILL IN THE sEABoARD

Especial to The Times-DispatchI
NEW YORK, June 1.-The World to-
morrow will say: Thomas f. Ryan has
ended his days of activity In Wall
Street His departure for Eurona on
FRIDAY signalized his breaking away
from the personal management Of the
gigantic corporations with which he
has been associated for the last ,twen-
ty-five years. The news of Mr.. Ryan's
retirement was confirmed to-day in
Wall Street by men who know him in
timately and who have closely watched
his movements in the stock market dur
ing the last year.
There is a Wall Street tradition that
Mr.. Ryan's ambition. after he had be-
come an important factor in the hnan-
c1al world, was to accumulate $780,
100000. This he has accomplished. Mr..
Ryan, according to Inside" information
in Wall Street. will now enjoy re-
tired life on his magnificent estate in
Nelson county. Va. That he may direct
his energies towards becoming United
States Senator from Virginia is con-
sidered strong possibility. He has
long held that ambition.
Substantiation of the rumor that he
had got rid of his extensive holdings
in the Consolidated Gas Company was
given by Mr. Ryan himself before he
sailed on Friday. Mr. Ryan was large
ly instrumental in bringing about the
consolidation OF the gas and electric
light companies Of the city several
years ago. AT one time he was the
principal stockholder in the ConsolI-
dated.
AS he stood on the deck of the Cell
tic last Friday MIR. Ryan said: II do
not own q dollars worth of gas"
ia, Ouiotly Sold Stock
That meant only one thing, that ne
had quietly sold out all his stock. 1t
verified what Wall Street has suspect
ed, From source, the reliability Of
which is unquestioned. the World
learned yesterday that Mr.. Ryan had
quietly sold out all his stock hold
ings in the great corporations, includ-
ing numerous railroads outside the
city and the American Tobacco Com
pany.
The only interests which Mr., Ryan
has not either sold or transferred are
those in the larger trust companies and
banks. These are the Morton Trust
Company. the Metropolitan Trust Com
panY, the National Bank of Commerce
and the Union Exchange Bank.
Mr.. Ryan holds the controlling inter
est in the Equitable. Life Assurance
Society, He obtained this control a,

tion. His equitable stock is held ii

They, and No Provision Made
for Them in Parade-Pickett
Camp Hall Was Locked,
Though They Were
Invitaa There.

Considerable concern was occa stoned
among the officials in charge of the re-
union on account of the report of an
action taken by A. T. Hill Camp. c. ",
OF Petersburg, Va. in which the
Petersburg veterans allege that they
were not treated with proper courtesy
by the reunion officials and by one OF
the veteran camps of Richmond The
action marks the first complaint that
has yet come In as to the attentions
paid to the visitors last Thursday, and
1t is matter of deep regret that any
such misunderstanding has occurred
The significant action which was
taken by "A. p. Hill Camp OF Peters
burg, at it's meeting last night, reads
as follows:
General Orders No. 4t3.
For reasons deemed sufficient by
the commanding officer. and such
as touch the dignity and sclf-rc-
spcct OF the command, the camp
will not participate I'm the parade
In Richmond on the Sd instant.
BY order of Lieutennnt-Com-
mnnder Homer Atkinson.

CARTER Il. BISHOP.
.tdjutant.
From reports secured from Peters
burg last night it see1aa that in the
meeting of the camp three reasons
were alleged as reasons for the ac-
ton taken: First. that a. p. Hill Camp
was not met at the depot; second, that
they were neglected and shown no
attention while here, either by the re-
union officials or by the Richmond
camps OF veterans. and third. on ac-
count of certain personal sights. which
members of the camp say they would
be willing to waive if, the other mat
ters were adjusted.
The announcement of this action
occasioned considerable concern to the
officials here, who have been untiring
through months past in their courteous
treatment of the visitors.
''COld Reception"
1t Is understood that the pergonal rea-
sens alleged In the action are that A. p.

RESULT OF SUNDAY LAW

The quiet which prevails upon our
streets on Sundays now is quite
noticeable. The Sunday selling is
not anywhere in evidence. We
have always felt that there would be
little, if any, opposition to the en-
forcement of the law against Sunday
selling. The merchants and clerks
are only too glad to have one day in
the week to spend at home with
their families. We venture the as
sertion that there will be no falling
off in the aggregate weekly sales on
account of the enforcement of the
law. If man is in a business that
will not succeed when earnestly and
honestly worked for six days every
week he had better get out of it and
get into something else.

CHILDREN AND TREES.

The President of the United States
believes in children and in trees.
Said he: "A people without child
rem would face q hopeless future; a
country without trees is almost as
hopeless. This was said in his
"Arbor day" speech to the school
children of the United States recent
ly. While this is an overstatement
OF fact, its yet a graphic way of
emphasizing the value of trees.
The enormous waste of our trees
which is almost everywhere appar-
ent is II cause for serious reflection.
A friend of ours recently made a
trip. to Oklahoma with view to
settling there. He drew back after
personal investigation on the grounds
that itlwas "A country without trees
and without traditions.
This makes pretty sad condition
of affairs to our mind. We like the
traditions and we like the trees
Let us encourage our children to be
interested in the preservation of al
trees

there is most deplorable state of

Broad river, and on the Union coun-

are said to be going on at a great
rate. We are glad our city officers
and sheriff are showing such inter
'est in suppressing these conditions

the proper officers will pay their res

and unrightcous the magic was
worked. Mammon is a sorry god at
best. He may dress up in garments
most kingly in appearance but under
meath is the sordid heart of the
devil. The time is coming when
manhood will be put above the dol
lar and when money will cease to
set the standard in the affairs of
men.
However, if a man finds himself
in possession of millions of money
we feel that the desire to freely give
it to worthy causes is the best evi-
dence that the owner is seeking the
paths or repentance. If the money
was honestly made, the owner in
giving bountifully to worthy causes
is pursuing the only course he could
pursue if he would avoid being en-
closed in the chains of mammon
worship.
Freely yc have received, freely
give" will apply to them in this
lower sphere of human life as did
these same words apply to the fol-
lowers of the Nazarcnc in higher
sphere of life. Honestly, we believe
about the only hope there is for the
rich to be saved from the slaverxs,f
wealth is for them to give, andXp
give freely. ,,

TAINTED MONEY.

In a recent speech delivered in
Washington Hon. William Jennings
Bryan paid his respects to : tainted
money"
Among other things he said:
One of our men has reached a
point Where he sometimes finds it
difficult ITO find people to take his
money. And that l regard. as the
best evidence of the growth of a
moral sentiment in this country. It
means something when a great
church -pauses, hesitates, refuses to
accept the money until it knows how
il was made. l believe the time
will come when churches and col
leges will. refuse to go into partner
ship in the spending Of money i'm
morally made. The Influence of
that public opinion will be power
fuf factor in the restoring of right
eousness. These great institutions
should say to man You did not
make your money honestly; we will
not share hesodlum with you.
:, Whatever else may be said of
Williams Jennings Bryan, he is
honest and he is consistent. His
ideals in public and private life are
very high and he does not hesitate
to defend those ideals.
We are not sure but that he is
right in the matter of tainted
money" TO refuse to accept it is,
to say the least, the strongest pro-
test that can be made against the
methods that were employed in its
accumulation. That these vast ac-
cumulationS of wealth were dishon-
estly made is most easily believed.
