REUNION OF MORGAN'S
 CAVALRY AT ESTILL SPRINGS

A reunion of the survivors of Gen. John B. Morgans celebrated Confederate cav airy held recently at Estill Springs, Ky, proved to be most enjoyable occasion for the old soldiers and the guests. These happy reunions have hitherto been held a { Parks Hill, an old Methodist camp meet ing ground or chautauqua
 The manager sof the springs, and all the guests, helped in entertaining and honoring the old veterans, maHy of whom were bent with age and quite feeble. The hotel was decorated with Confederate flags, as were the vehicles which brought them from the trains. They were given most cordial welcome, 125 attending. Prominent among them were Gen. Basil Duke, their gallant commaRder the Rev pr. Guerrant, chaplain, and Gen. Bennett NJ. Young.
 Mrs w. c. Sibley of Birmingham con tributed much to the pleasure of the old soldiers in singing, ITS Going Home to Dixie" and playing plantation melodies and dance tunes, which brought back the merry. old times of the cotillions and 'Vir- ginia Reels of long ago.
 A fancy dress ball was given them the last night of their stay at which the grand march was led by the veterans. followed by the guests in costumes of the different nations Mrs Sibey represented pixie Land as "Ole Miss, with Top sy" her colored maid. following. The af- fair was quite a success.

THE GREAT DEVELOPMENT
 OF MOVING PICTURES


and 10 cent show houses of every con ceivable type and fashion. Then came criticism and demand for reform, con straint or limitation, until necessity. occasioned by public sentiment de- veoped the National Board of Censor ship for the purpose of giving clean plays and instructive scenes.
 Disregarding the commercial side of the subject. whose financial value has reached almost beyond mental com putation and considering merely the benefits derived by the public at large, local conditions are typical of the ques- tion In general. Sarah Bernhardt, whose wonderful interpretation of Camille has heretofore been barred to all except the high priced theatregoers, may now be seen, in reproduction, by the masses at popular prices. Nat Goodwin. Blanche Walsh. Gabrielle Rejane and many others of equal prom thence are likewise to be seen in repro ductions of famous plays made by the different motion picture manufacturers. Daniel Frohman has organized '"rhe Famous Film company" the object be- ing to present only stars and plays of the first magnitude. Sarah Bernhardt in Queen Elizabeth" is to be their initial production. Another benefit of  the moving picture is that the charac- iers made famous by such authors as William hakespeare, Charles Dickens Owen Meredith and others are no longer inanimate book heroes and he roines, but real people moving and liy- ing through the incidents of the novel on the moving picture screen. In order to procure original scenery, the manu- facturers go to an enormous expense many companies having been sent to England, Ireland and even Egypt.
 Edueationally, the moving picture is giving the public the benefit of foreign travel, engineering feats, constructive works and daily life as 1t is really lived in all parts of the world. Even our public schools are installing ma chimes for instruction in history and geography, so that in the short space Of few years, has developed system of reproduction, that has become, with proper regulation and supervision, not a menance, but a benefit to the human

Looking back to the beginning of the few years that have elapsed since its creation one can but marvel at it's won derful development and progress. Next to the reproduction of the human voice it probably ranks one of the great est inventions of the age; considered from both commercial and educa- tional point of view.
