 As the widow walked upon the stage she was greeted with thunders of ap- plause from the audience which filled the theatre to suffocation. She won the audience at once by her gracious appearance and courteous acknowl- edEement of their applause.
 Story of Famous Charge.
 Mrs. Pickett launched at once into the story of that famous charge which Is recognized as the most brilliant that any body of men ever participated in. She took the listeners to the little white village of Gettysburg, over. Sem mary Ridge. along the bank of Rocky Creek, past Devils Cave, and over all of the valleys that were bathed with the blood of virginia's sons on that fateful July day.
 -~ As descriptive narrative the one delivered by Mrs. Pickett last night has seldom been equa1led. The final scene of the almost complete annihilation of the 5000 brave Virginians is painted with such vividness that old soldiers, veterans of hundred battles, sat with tense faces and nervously working fin- gers.
 ' l Mrs. Pickett was given an ovation be- fore she left the stage, and later when she appeared at the reception at the City Hall, she was surrounded by those who wanted to shake her hand and ex-

L. Campbell. of Florence, and asked him to come to the stage and address the meeting.
 Commander Campbell was greeted with lusty cheering, and when he opened his remarks by expressing his appreciation of the honor bestowed upon him. there was no sound in the auditorium other than that of his voice. Throughout the brief address made by Mir. Campbell. Be was given the most courteous attention.
 He said he was particularly grateful that he had been called on to express himself before body of men whom all the world has known as brave sol diers, courteous gentlemen and as great in peace as in war.
 He referred particulariy to the good fellowship displayed when the United States became involved with spain when sons of FederalH and Confeder- ates alike responded to the call, and none more quickly than the sons or the Sunny South. ssa
 Mir. Campbell said he hoped this would notsbe the last time that t4ere, will be an affiliation Of those who dtf- fered; many years ago and opposed each other in war.

Fighting the Billboard Nuisance.

A concerted movement for the abol-
ton of indecent billboard advertising
is in progress in Cincinnati, where the
Protestant clergy in their sermons, the
Roman Catholic Federation of Socie-
ties, the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation and the Municipal Art league
are working in harmony for that end.
says Lesle's Weekly. The Dayton's
Bluff Commercial club Of st. Paul,
MINI, has instituted similar move
ment and these two are examples OF
the agitation throughout the country
against the offense to decency and the
affront to the eyes Of the community
Of which the billboard nuisance max
ers are guilty. We bar obscenlties
from the mails, and we arrest and fine
peddlers for selling merchandise In the
streets without a license, bat posters
that corrupt the minds of thousands,
and others. morally innocuous, but ar
tistically hideous, and representing ad-
vertising privileges worth hundreds of
thousands OF dollars, are suffered with
out taxation or any other restraint.
How long will the American public
endure 1t? Let the newspapers and
magazines and other legitimate instru-
mentalltes for advertising purposes
make united and winning crusade
against the billboard and street car
advertising nuisances.
