June 1910. The streets are gaily de-
corat9d with Confederate flags and
bunting, alternating with the red, white
and blue-of The Nation. The deeora-
tions extend over into the residential
district, and many homes are gay with
colors.
The vanguard of the visitors is arriv-
ing hourly, and by morning trainloads
Of people will have come in. Mem
phians have entered into the spirit of
the reunion, and are this early show
ing evidences Of determination to
give the visitors a good time. For the
benefit of strangers who are looking
for people or places, they are wearing
badges on which is printed, 81 live

HONOR ANDREW JOHNSON

The old adage, "wonders will never
cease" was eXemplifiad on Monday
when more than ten thousand people
gathered at Greeneville, in East Ten
nesse, to do enthusiastic honor to the
memory of Andrew johnson, seven
teenth president of the United States.
Few public leaders have been more bit
terly denounced, both in state and ma
tional affairs, than this man who rose
from a tailor shop to be master of the
White House. Born of plain parent
age, bread to common trade, unedu-
Gated in the book sense of the word, he
yet became an orator of countrywide
reputation and an oracle in Tennessee
and Washington politics. The little
village of GreeneVille, which knew
that he had learned to write after he
was married, started him on his public
career by electing him alderman and
then mayor. Twice was he in the state
legislature. He was presidential elec.
tor when Buchanan ran; and for eight
years he was our representative in con.
gress. In 1858 he had made so many
enemies and opposition to him was sc
strong that the state was gerrymander
ed to defeat him; whereupon he an
nounced himself for governor, and was
twice elected to that high office, goinl
from that to the United States senate
When the Civil War came ON he ar
emphatic Unionist, and was appointed
war governor of the state by Lincolr
in 1862. The virilence of his antiseses

NOT TO CONTROL
SELECT'G CONSULS
KNOX MAKES STATEMENT
Senator Taylor Looking After Ap
plicants from Tenn-TrYing
for CensuS Places.

Washington, d. G., May 29.-Ten-
nsssee is to have her full quota of re-
presentatives in the consular service,
according to Secretary Philander G.
Knox The Secretary made this state
ment this week in the course of a con-
versation with Senator Taylor, who
called to discuss several applications
for consular places.
81 shall not allow political consider
ations to control in making selections
for consular places from Tennessee OIL
any other state said Secretary Knox,
81 want every state to have her quota,
and shall be guided by considerations
of the fitness of the applicant"
AS consular appointments are made
now only after rigid examination,
blame cannot attach to the State De
partment and the President if state
fails to get its quota. This result will
be due to one or two causes; the mum
ber of applicants was not equal to the
number to which the state was entitled
according to population, or those ap
plying failed to pass the examination
1t is likely that failure to get as many
appointments as she is entitled to vii
be found due to the failure of Tennes
see to send up sufficient number 0
young men to take the examination
The state has not as many members o
the civil service as she is entitled t
according to population, and the civi
Service Commission attributes the fac
to the primary fact that comparativel.
few applicants from Tennessee TAX
the prescribed examinations. Tn
same is true Of many Southern States
and the commission is trying to Undue
and Southern young men to apply 70
government places under the civil ser
vice.

victory, now in defeat, We hear again
the lone bugle calling them from their
tired sleep to take up again the grim
serial of battle. Wesee them tattered
and woundeded and hungry, respond
ing to the call of valor and duty. We
see them overwhelmed by numbers,
defeated and yet dauntless. And then,
most wonderful of ALL we fnd them
accepting final defeat like brave man
and true.
1t is our pleasant privilege to well
come the old soldiers TO Memphis, and
to assure them that they viii be proper
ly and tenderly cared for Memphis
is gay with flags and streamers that in
slight measure evince her pleasure at
having the followers Of the Lost Cause
with her again. The preparations for
the reception have all been made and
every precaution has been taken to see
that every veteran is cared for.
We believe we can safely say that
every citizen of Memphis will be for
three days at the service of the soldiers
and visitors. Business for three days
will be subordinated to hospitality.
Our courts will be closed, and every
dweller in the city will constitute him
self guide to the stranger within our
gates. This promises to be the most
memorable of all the Reunions; because
it will not be long before this annual
gathering of the gallant sons of the
South will be thing of the past. Mem
phis has done everything in herspoweI
by pageantry and parade to entertain
her guests, and she. welcomes them
with open and hOspitahle arms. This
week we will all recall the picture o.
the poet:
Above the bayonets mixed and crossed
Men saw gray, gigantic ghost
Receding through the battle cloud,
And heard across the tempest loud

IN COMMEMORATION
OF DECORATION DAY,
The Last Review.

This morning when the country re-
views its sleeping legions, memory in
stinctively turns to their last parade
on earth, the marching review. Be
fore Battle when action is evident,
it is the custom and rule of the armies,
as nearly as possible, before the expect
ed blow, hold parade, inspection and
review, ut which time all the troops
are expected to take part, and pass in
column before the General in COM
mand, and literally those VINO are
about to die, salute their chief.
The bayOnets flash, the sabers drop,
The line tramps solemnly by
With colors dropped, the men
Salute the men about to die;
With bronzed cheek and grim.
Moustache and visage stern as fate,
Out of this world those brave
Men march, and near the eternal gate,
The nodding plumes, the music's
Swell, fade from the eye and ear,
The glories of earth dissolves,
The end approaches near.
Their duty done, their watch well kept,
The last grim honors paid,
With sure and unrelenting step,
They pass within the shade.
Trailed are the sweeping banners,
Let wonderous music roll and wall,
With solemn rights and reverence
Our hearts the heros trail.
The defiant heros who have
Conquered fate and time,
1t is holy ground they tread
And the trembling field is sublime,
Make the plain a temple with
MeserOl's chant and mass,
In tone the great pocession,
AS from lIe to death they pass.
'Tis the nations blazing alter,
Let the fTeighted censor swing,
And the people bow in awe
Before the sacrifice they bring,
Never more that stately column,
In its scared strength shall form,
The ranks this evening broken
In to-morrows fire and storm;
Shall meet as in the heart of
Gods consuming breath,
When the dread avenging Angels
Reap the harvestfields of death.
No more aligned, breast to breast,
That undulating mass,
With equal step and rhythmic sway
Before its chief shall pass
Never more those long tried comrades
With supporting touch shall tread
Until they Join the close battallions
OF the dead
The last roll call is answered,
Her final tattoo blown,
The shrill revelle shall tomorrow
Summons many to land unknown,
Accoutered full, their armours tried,
Their houses in order laid,
Faithful they await the approaching
fate,
With hearts all undismayed.
With Heaven above and earth beneath
They lay them down to sleep,
That earth their bodies must soon take
Pray heaven heaven their souls to keel
For in the morning the warning
Shot shall come,
With the long tumultuous throbbing
OF the battle drum.

NEW ANAESHETIC FOUND

Washington, June GA discovery
which will bring great satisfaction to
the timid, who fear to be put in a con-
dition where they lose consciousness,
is reported in telegram to the state
department by the consul-general at
Bucharest, Roumania.
This is an anaesthetic,a combination
of strychnine and storraine, discovered
by a surgeon of Bucharest, and from
the application of which the patient
does not lose mental consciousness. 1t
is injected in the spine for operations
below the waist and in the neck for
operations above. Dr. Bannyryall, the
cousul-general reports, has taken some
of the anasthetic to London.

excruciating, and the result was almost in
