OF boys who wore the blue" in
the stormy times of 81 to '65 are
descending upon Atlantic City, the oc

encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic. Eight different Organiza-

connection with the meeting of the q.

Ladies' Auxiliary of the Sons of Vet
Grams; the Daughters of Veterans: the
Sons of Veterans; the National AssOcia-

association. These various Organiza-

ment of the military life that repre-
scented the Union cause from 1854 to
1865
Encampment Big Event.
OF course the big event of the week
will be the Grand Army encampment
proper. 1t is the intention of the va
riOus associations and organizations to
have these annual meetings simuItane-

Grand Army men left to hold annual
encampments. That there will be many
the fact that there are 100000 mem
bers of the Grand Army still surviving,
and about $50, 900 survivors of the Civil
war The last soldier of the war OF
1912 was Hiram CrOnk, who died only
a few years ago. If any OF those who
fought in the Civil war live as long
as Hiram Cronk. the last survivor will
die in 1858. or practically a half cen

the Grand Army encampment parade
OF quarter of a century hence will be
small in comparison with that of today,
just as that of today is small in COM
parison with that of twenty-five years
ago.
Work of Reunion.
Many interesting questions will be
brought up at the forthcoming encamp-
ment- At various times in late years
there have been reunions of Civil war
veterans where the man who wore the
blue and he who wore the gray have
fraternized as brothers, each honest in
his conviction that his cause was Just
Not long ago ii was suggested that
during the present year there should
be held in Washington a reunion of all
the survivors of the northern and the
southern armies, betOkening the fact
that the issues that divided the two
sections during the Civil war are dead
and buried forever, and that those
who ranged themselves on either side
in that conflict are now equally Jealous
in maintaining the integrity of the
country and thanking God that the
Stars and Stripes float over Union
that shall endure forever. The propo-
sition, so far as the present year IS

years after the close of that great

Another issue that will occupy the
attention of the Grand Army encamp-

no better way than by placing one of
it's most sacred effigies in the capitol

To Decorate Graves.
An effort will be made to raise
more funds for the decoration Of the
graves of northern soldiers who lie
buried in national cemeteries in the
southern states Out of the 400 0CJ
soldiers who are buried in national
cemeteries, about a quarter Of million
are in cemeteries situated in states
that were out of the Union during the
Civil war The Grand Army posts in
those states are naturally very weak
To the credit of the south it may be
said that they have assisted in the dec
grafton of these graves, but there is
still much to be desired, and the Grand
Army seeks to supply the necessary
funds for what it considers to be ade-
Quate decoration.

WINNER.
Fitzsimmons in any way, but that he
realized all he had to lose if the fight
went against him, and he was trying
in those last few days to make up for
years Of easy living that had followed
his win over Sullivan and could not
entirely satisfy himself.
We were all up bright and early the
morning Of the eventful 18th. Corbett
seemed In high spirits. The whole
camp was in hustle. Scores Of news
paper men were flying around from
place to place and asking all sorts Of
questions. I ate a big breakfast and
half an hour later went out with Jim
for a stroll on the road. The fight was
to begin at noon. 1t was to be to a
finish. The moving picture machines
were all ready. The crowd was gather
ing. Sporting men from all over the
world assembled there in Carson
were gathering at the big new yellow
pine arena that Dan Stuart had built
especially for the occasion. Among the
spectators were to be John L. Sulli-
van, Tom Sharkey, Jack McAuliffe and
scores Of other famous fighters.
At the ringside sat twenty selected
Nevada gun fighters, placed there by
the sheriff because of threats from a
San Francisco bunch that the referee,
George Siler, would never live to get
out Of the ring if he gave decision
against Corbett.
I'll pass the preliminaries, although
every word spoken is still clear in my
mind, even how John L. Sullivan, fat
and round bellied. rolled through the
ropes and challenged the winner, say
ing at the end: 81 think l have one
good fight left in me yet. Pm yours
truly, always on the level. John l..
Sullivan" Bob Fitzsimmons, his red
face shining from the collar of his
blue bathrobe, strutted up and down
across the ring from us, stopping to
test the ropes with his hands or to
scrape his shoe on the resined can
vas, and all the time watching Corbett
with light blue eyes that squinted half
shut in the sunlight. Our champion
paid no attention to Fitz.
At last the waiting time was up.
The sun was at its height when the
bell changed sharply on the frosty air,
and I, with the other seconds, scram-
bled down from the platform and
crouched behind Corbett's corner, star
ing with straining eyes to see the first
blow struck. 1t was not long in COM
ing. Corbett, light on his feet, cir
cled around Fitzsimmons like hawk.
The Cornishman crouched panther-like
as If to spring when he saw an open
ing. After circling moment Corbett
flashed in and jabbed Fitzsimmons on
| the mouth. and the fight was on.
Fitz, clinching a second, turned to
where his wife sat in box and nod
ded to her encouragingly.

knowledge and ambition.

a democratic assembly" That the
whole thing was fraud was easily
apparent and but little attention has
been paid to it.
Now comes the democratic state
central committee with the announce
ment that democratic nominations will
be made at the primary election as
called for by the direct primary law.
An open race will be held and all who
wish to secure nominations will be
given equal opportunities"
Plainly this is the only course for
the minority party to take. The
democrats would be asses indeed to
duplicate the blunder Of certain re-
publicans in trying to ignore the pri>
mary law. The hope of democratic
success lies in a rigid observance of
the direct primary law and in the Sc
lection of strong, clean men as can
didates. Then in the event the repub-
licans. through the Vaccinations of
the assehblyites, fail to name the
right sort of men for office the peo-

was thus finally awarded, after seven
years of litigation, 100000.

IF SHE HAD KNOWN.

A clergyman, noticing the simple
appearance of the couple he had just
married, decided to give them a few
words of advice.
He explained to the young man his
duties as husband and then told the
young lady how she should conduct
herself, winding up with the old in
junction that she must look to her
husband for everything and. forsak-
ing father and mother, follow him
wherever he went.
The bride appeared very much
troubled at this and faltered out:

he goes?"

must follow him everywhere until
