short but stirring address. Several
addresses were delivered by pronu-
nent veterans and sons of veterans
Ex-Governor Dan Jones evoked much
applause during his address, in the
course of which he said; Never
again let ii be said that the Confed-
crate soldiers fought for cause
which they believed to be right, but
say they fought for a cause which
they knew to be right"

Tuesday morning the convention
proper met at the Auditorium, where
Gen. George W. Gordon, commander
in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, presided.
While the crowds were assembling,
Southern airs were played by the
band and sung by the large chorus
of school children. With the old
gavel, used in many previous reun-
ions, made from the wood of a bush
to which General Green of the Cont

horse before one of the battles of the
Revolutionary war, General Smith

In concluding his address. Prof
Jordan said Soon the curtain will
fall to hide the receding form of the
last Confederate soldier, and the
great American tragedy will have no
living actor to prove the story of the
great conflict To the sons and

gradually but surely committing the
history. the honor, the valor and the
righteousness OF our cause; and in

| biz you welcome to Arkansas. We
are delighted to honor you, not only
for the bravery you exhibited on 4
hundred battlefields, but for the no
less splendid courage you manifest
ed in the hour Of disaster and de
cuss the various, causes that led you
TO organize the Confederate govern
ment. Your case has been stated
With unansWerable logic by Missis-
sippis great statesman, Jefferson
Davis. Nor need | stop to go over

les won. Suffice it TO say that, al
though greatly outnumbered, you
maintained your cause through four
long and weary years. Generations
Yet unborn will be thrilled with the
recital of your heroic deeds and your
devotion to liberty Will stand forever
as an inspiration TO mankind. When
the future historian shall write the
name of those who won immortality
in that great struggle. our beloved
state Will contribute its share to the
list of honors. History will keep
alive the names of the generals and
commanding officers. But what or
the private soldier, humble and UNI
known to fame, who went forth TO
battle that his country might be free?
Upon every Southern state there
rests the imperative obligation to
procure the name of every one OF its
Confederate soldiers and preserve
the sacred roll in its archives forever.
In the course of nature, these reun-
ions must soon end. Before many
more years come and go, the last
Confederate soldier will have crossed
over the river to rest under the
shade of the trees. Let us hope that
in the better land there VIII be
another reunion. where all true and
brave Confederate soldiers Will meet
to dwell in neyer-ending peace"

Or. Hartzoe Wakes Eloquent.

One of the features of the reunion
was the eloquent welcoming address
by Dr. Henry Simms Hartzog of Lit
tie Rock on behalf OF the Sons or
Confederate Veterans. DR.. Hartzog
was in splendid voice and never in
finer mood or more attuned to an
occasion. lie said he had been i'll
clined to consider the old soldiers as
venerable and staid old men, but since
seeing them so buoyant and spright
". he had about decided that the
classification should be readjusted
and the terms venerable" etc. APP
piled to the sons. Speaking OF these
reunions as a matter of sentiment,
Or. Hartzog said that sentiment is
the greatest thing in the world. The
love Of mother is sentiment said
he. and the love of that grand old
flag of Stars and Bars is also senti-
ment. Yet what could be more en-
nobling? That flag went down in
defeat, but, thank God, 1t never went
down in dishonor, and admiration for

Two British scientists Church and

stone buildings under the influence of city

state that no less than 5oo,000 tons Of this
gaseous acid is discharged into Lendon's
atmosphere every year, mainly as one OF
the combustion products of illuminating
gas. agf
Under the action of carbon particles in

this acid condenses, and, uniting with the
