(From General George II. Sharpe's
Decoration Day Address)

From General George H. Sharpe's
Decoration Day Address,
/ remember-and it was recalled to
me tonight in conversation, when the
name of General Grant came up in the
course of conversation-the wonderful
scene that transpired in that little
place in Virginia on the 9Th of April,
1865. 1t was late in the afternoon
when it became known that General
lice had sent for Grant to surrender 10
him.
! 1t was between and O'Clock when
We met in the little room in the house
where the surrender of Lees army
took place under an apple tree, where
Grant and Lee met and exchanged a
few words. The surrender took place
on the left hand room of that old
fashioned double house. The house had
large piazza which ran along the
/ full length of it. 1t was one of those
ordinary Virginia homes with a pas
sage way running through the center
Of it, In that little room where the
meeting took place sat two young men
one a great-grandson of Chief JUS
, tice Marshall of the supreme court re-
ducing to writing the terms of the sur
render on behalf of Robert e. Lee;
the other a man of dusky countenance
"a great nephew of that celebrated
chief, Red Jacket-acting under Gen
eral Grant. They two We're reducing
to writing the terms Of the surrender
of the army of Northern Virginia 10
the army of the Potomac. Gathered
around the room were several officers,
of whom j was one
At some distance apart sat two men;
one the most remarkable man of his
day and generation The larger and
older of the two was the most strik-
ing in his appearance His hair was
| white as the driven snow mere was
not a speck upon his coat; not a spot
upon those gauntlets be wore, which
were as bright and fair as lady's
glove. That was Robert +. Lee The
other was Ulysses S. Grant, whose ap-
Bearance contrasted strangely with
! that Of Lee; his boots were nearly
covered with mud; one button off his
coat--that is, the button-hole was not
where it should have been, it had
clearly gone astray, and he wore no
sword while Lee was faultlessly and
fully equipped. The conversation was
not rapid by any means. Everybody
felt the overpowering influence Of the
scene Everyone present felt they
were witnessing the proceedings be-
tween the two chief actors in one Of
the most remarkable transactions in
this nineteenth century. The words

1t Is the duty of every eXpectant
mother to prepare her system for the
coming of her little one; to avoid as
far as possible the suffering of such
occasions, and endeavor to pass
through the crisis with her health

prepares the system for natural and
safe motherhood. Mothers Friend
has been used and endorsed by thou
sands of mothers, and its use will
prove a comfort and benefit to any

PEKIN. Oct 14-Troops are being
rushed from the north TO Hankow,
and within a few days a decisive bait
tie may be fought. The rebel forces
have left their entrenchments around
WI Chang and are advancing to meet
the imperial troops. but whether or
not the latter will fight or desert their
colors Is doubtful
That the entire imperial army is
pormeated with sedition seems GER
tain.
There is still a curious mystery
surrounding the identity Of tho
revolutionary leaders. DR.. Sun Yat
Sen. whose name has been persisten.-
ly mentioned as the guiding spirit of
the movement, is now said to be IN
the United States. He was reported
yesterday In Shanghai. but this report
seems incorrect.
Fears OF an anti-foreign outbreak
have greatly lessened here
American troops from the Philip
pines are reported TO be on their way
here TO protect the legation and tho
other foreign powers are preparing to
land a force OF marines and sailors
at the first signal Of danger.
The present rebellion In China is
the elimination OF more than thre0
centuries OF agitation, during which
the Chinese have risen again end
again against their Manchu leaders.

peaceful sleep at 8 Is o'clock today
comparatively a very poor man in the
matter of money, but a multi-million-

His greatest ambition was to be
chief justice of the United States. He
served temporarily in that capacity
following the death of Chief Justice
Fuller, July 4, 1910, until President
Taft elevated Edward Douglass White.

the judiciary.
Though Harlans marvellous hardi-
hood forbade him from showing by the
slightest sign his disappointment, his
friends knew that from the day of the
announcement of Whites appointment,
the aged jurist started upon the de-
cline.
Then for the first time came signs
of weakening in the massive frame Of
the great Kentuckian. He held himself
we'll in hand, however throughout last
winter, and won his greatest fame
through his dissenting opinions in the
Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust cases,
in which he bitterly arraigned the re-
