field and then to melt away; and the
most brilliant military leaders of the
century were raised up to lead the
thousands of brave soldiers who won
imperishable glory by their valor. If
in this builing can be gathered a COM
prehensive collection of the relics of
that period, it will be indeed the Cap
itol of the South. In order to accom-
plish its object the building must be of
imposing architecture, a handsome
structure that will do credit to the
brave men and lovely women it is to
commemorate. We believe that suff-
cient funds can be secured to provide
for such a structure as will be a cred
it not only to Richmond as city but
to the Southern people. There the
aged veteran may go and renew his
memories of that memorable conflict
in which he had part. There the
women who bore the trials of war
with such fortitude and never wavered
in their devotion to the cause, can be
hOnored with a memorial that will re-
call their priceless sacrifices. There
will be tablets and memorial windows
and many relic to recall to memory
the heroic deed and to inspire their liv-
ing comrades and descendants. The
Battle Abbey is likely to become in
truth a shrine of the South.

OLD 'MIZZERY" Is ROTTEN

Almost a Crime to Walk Streets Out

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 13.-The
eighty new laws which have just be-
come effective in this state would in
dictate a drifting back to the days of
Puritanism.
One measure provides that even
the nude in art must go.
Another makes it an offense pun
ishable by fine or Jail sentence, for
any newspaper or periodical to pub
lish scandalous items, even though
they be a matter of record in court.
Revolvers, "knucks," dirks and all
deadly weapons are practically driven
from the state.
A dealer may not even exhibit these
weapons in his show window, and if
any one other than an officer be found
with one in his possession, cts the

may be imbibed on any train within
the borders of the state.

segregated hereafter in the state re-

THERE WILL BE DELAY
IN WORK ON CENTRAL
Property Will Be improved
Eventually.

Naturally the death of E. H. Harri-
man has led to speculation as to the
future of the Central of Georgia Rail-
way. OF course there is no anticipa-
ton of any change in the near future
of its present status, but the question
as to what will be done in the direc-
ton of improvement, has provoked no
little discussion ..ss.---,-
z AS the result Of Mr.. Tarriman's visit
to Georgia last January and of other
indications, it has been the belief that
he contemplated large expenditures
for the improvement of the property
in the future.
In fact $4,000, 900 has been fire.
gently mentioned as the sum which
Mr.. Hartman proposed to spend on
the improvement of the Central, as
soon as conditions should justify the
work
A preliminary survey, with these
improvements in view has been COM
pleted and the plans are in Mr.. Har-
riman's New York Office. 1t is said
they eliminate many heavy grades, cut
out numerous long curves, and TO
doubletr ack those portions of the
system which have to stand the heav-
lest traffic.
The general belief seems to be that
the Hartman policies will be carried
out by his successors, just as he con-
templated, and yet improvements of
the Central of Georgia, at least az any
early date, seems a minor affair when
considered in connection with the gil
gantic interests Hartman represented.
But that $10,0OO,0O0 will be put into
such improvements at clip, is gen
orally doubted, Notwithstanding the
fact that it might have been done had
Mr. Hartman remained alive five
years longer.

. A SHRINE OF THE SOUTH.
Baltimore Sum-

From all parts of the South the
tunes of the Confederacy turn toward
Richmond as the faithful turn toward
Mecca 1t was the capital of the
'storm-cradled nation" it was the chief
point of attack of the Union armies
and the place most jealousy de-
Tended by the forces of the Confeder-
ate Government, the center of the Of
fetal and military life and, in peculiar
sense, was the heart of the South"
So that Richmond is by general con-
sent to be the city in which will be
built the Battle Abbey of the South.
According to recent dispatches to The
Sun, the site has been selected and
the plans for the erection of the struc-
tuFe are already far advanced. This
was the favorite project of the late
Charles B. Rouse, and though he sat
in blindness, his prophetic eye saw
that in the future such a structure
would arise to provide a place for the
preservation of the priceless relics of
the most stirring period in American
history Many another old Confeder-
ate has wished for building in which
should be gathered the memorials, the
arms, portraits, uniforms and battle
flags of the heroes who wore the gray.
The Valentine Museum has been for
years probably the most interesting
place in Richmond to visitors, and the
Abbey will be a much larger and even
more interesting museum.
From 1861 to 1865 the South made
history. Into those four years were
crowded the events of an epoch, for a
nation was born and lived and ran its
course, great armies were created, to
win victory on many hard-fonght
