BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS.
The stage decoration committee for
the u. D. c. Convention, of which Mrs,
John Mccullough was chairman, have
been showcrcd with compliments on the
artistic and beautiful decoration and
arrangement Of the state. Everything
inspiring-nothing gaudy, to offend the
taste. Blossoms typical Of the flora OF
the South were conspicuous, magnollas
and iessamines and everywhere the
beloved dag7-thc blue cross with its
stars in a red field. How the sight Of it
stirred the heart
The pictures of Lee and Jackson were
kindly furnished by Mrs. T. II. Morris.
The other members of the committee
were Mrs. James Ross, Mrs. Dan Hern-

fresh flowers sent every day to Mr..
Begbie, our obliging florist.

Declined the Invitation.

A somewhat striking story dealing
with the now obsolete conventional
suicide. harakiri, or happy dispatch"
once common In Japan, was once told
by the Fre4ch Admiral Gourdon.
When he was u young man he had a
comrade who, having assisted in the
organizing of the japanese navy. was
subsequently raised TO tn, ,ank of adj
miral in that force. He took the part
OF the tycoon against the mikado IN
he revolutionary war and, having
been captured, was tried by court mar
tial and sentenced to death. which in
those days implied harakiri. When,
however, the fatal sword was pre-
scented to him he fatty refused to kill
himself and declared that If he was
to die somebody else must kill him
Threats and entreaties alike proved
unavniling. He resolutely refused. The
whole Of Japan was scandalized at
such immoral behavior, which, how
ever, saved his life. The japanese
penal code had never contemplated
such a contingency as man inhuman
enough to refuse the harakiri, and In
the end he was banished from the
country and returned to France.
