airy celebration. DR.. Herbert Nssh, OF
Norfolk, who had briet a:quainl nee
with Poe during the poets last visit to
Virginia, gave interesting "reminiscences
of him. Stereopticon views Of the uni
Versity as /, appeared during Poe's stay

included interior aud exterior views Of
Poe's room, q glimpse OF the ragged
mour tains, a portrait of Poe and por-

Cooke, who composed the board Of
visitors of that day.
An original poem entitled "Whose
Heartstrings Are Lutte" by D. R. Will
SOD, of William and Mary College,
treating Poe as the incarnation of
"Israfel," excited much praise. Prof.
WilIoughby Resde, OF the Episcopal
High School, read THE Raven" and
other selections from Poe. Appro'
prists selections we're rendered Oh the
Carnegie organ and several vocal solos
we're rendered.
Today The celebration took an intsr-

GENERAL LEE.

II will be remembered that this is the
one hundred and second anniversary of
the birth of Vlrginia's great statesman
aud soldier, Robert E. Lee. 1t 10
also the one hundredth anniversary
of the birth of tbas immortal poet, Ed.
gar AlIsn Poe. The Confederate Vet
Grams aud Sons of Veterans have
planned an elaborate programme for the
celebration Of the birthday OF that peer
less leader of the Oonfederscy-Robert
E. Lee. Both of these men occupy
eminent places In the admiration of the
people. They stand upon the Hottest
pedes' ais 10 the temple of fame. Their
ideas we're different, their spheres we're
d fferent-one being the acme among
his contemporaries in American litera-
ture; the other occupying the first place
in military achievement and statesman
ship, in the elevation Of moral character
and in all the attributes OF greatness,
aud, in fact, next to the illusIrious Wash
ington, the greatest man that America
has produced. Virginia has The proud
honor of claiming both of these immor-
tails. Although Poe was bern In BostoD,

name the ration atty of Lee. As Lowell
said Of Washington: "Virginis gave Us
this imperial man." II is probable that
the ceremonies tomorrow will more par

noWn OF General Lee, bat he was even

him to become 10 his achievements as a

And proudly and grandly, to all it is plain,
he has born with all honor, and never

So kingly in bearing, so knightly 10 grace,
So faultless in form, so mat ,hless in face;
He has left an example so free from flaw
Such devotion to duty the world never saw.
Can you see him just mounted, or standing

| Oh, men Of the Southland, he is still leading
