RED SHIRT WITH A HISTORY
Garment Was Worn During Civil War
by Edward Smith of Los An

An old red calico shirt that was
worn in the Civil war by Major Ed

exhibition in the window of the Pho
neer drug store The shirt has his
tory, and it has been carefully pre-
served by DR.. Smith, says the San
Angelo Weekly Standard.
Major Smith was wearing it when,
as superintendent of Confederate
transportation on Red river, in 1869,
he was captured by the federals at
Fort De Rusey, La, with garrison
of $50 Confederate soldiers. He had
it with him in federal prisons in Ba

since then my mind has been much occupied with
this subject, and l have thought all along, that
the time for acting it might probably come.
/ think the time has come now. l wish it
better time. ] wish that were in a better con-
dtion. The action of the army against the reb-
els has not been quite what l should have best
liked.
When the rebel army at Frederick, I de-
termined it should be driven out of
Maryland, to issue a proclamation of emancipa-
ton, such 1 thought most likely to be useful.
I said nothing to any one. but l made the prom
ise to myself and (hesitating a litte) to my Max
eT. The rebel army is driven out, and l
going to fulfil that promise.
Il have got you together to hear what l have
written down. l do not wish your advice about
the main matter. for that I have determined for
myself. This l say without intending anything
but respect for any one of you. But ! already
know the views of each this question. They
have been heretofore expressed and l have con-
sidered them thoroughly and carefully ]
can. What l have written is that which my re-
Elections have determined me to say. If there is
anything in the expressions l use, or in any
minor matter. which any of you thinks had
best be changed, l shall be glad to receive the
suggestions
"One other observation l will make. I know
very well that many others might, in this matter
in others, do better than l can; and if l was
satisfied that the public confidence
fully possessed by any of them than by me,
and knew or any CONSTITUTIONAL way IN winch ne
could be put in my place, he should have it,
would gladly yield it to him. But, though l be-
Meve that l have not so much the confidence of
the people l had some time since. | do not
know that. all things considered. any other per
son has more; and however this may be, there
is way in which can have any other man put
where I am. l am here; l must do the best can,
and bear the responsibility Of taking the course
which | feel I ought to take"
The president then proceeded to read his
Emancipation Proclamation, making remarks on
the several parts he went on, and showing
that he had fully considered the whole subject,
in all the lights under which it had been present
ed to him. After he had closed. Governor Sew
ard said:
THE general question having been decided
nothing can be said farther about that. Would
1t not. however, make the proclamation more
clear and decided to leave out all reference to

ONE SWEET BREATH OF HOME
Pretty Incident in Porto Rico After
Protocol Was Signed-GirI Plays
star Spansed Banner"

The American commissioners of
evacuation had been in Porto Rico's
capital perhaps two weeks 1t was
lonely at the hotel. There were, be-
sides the commissioners and their
STAINS, dozen or fifteen other Amer.
leans about the place, mostly CORE
spondents and merchants, who were
following closely in the wake of the
army and navy for business reasons
They all hobnobbed together In n
hrotherly sort of way, but the Ian
guage all about them was Spanish
which none understood except Ad-
miral Schley. The proprietor of the
hotel was Spaniard, the cooking
was essentially Spanish. the one bath
room was also essentially Spanish.
being very dirty, and altogether, de-
spite the courtesy of the Spaniards
and the natives, it was not very
pleasant. Everyone was longong for
home.
One evening after a particularly
bad dinner the Americans h,td gath
cred in the interior court of the hotel
to talk over matters. Admiral Schley
was naturally the center of the group.
Next him sat General Gordon, while
the generals son, d lieutenant in the
army, and Lieutenants Sears and
Wells and Ensign McCauley, of the
Admiral's staff were close by. While
they were talking there entered
dark-haired. dark-skinned girl who
looked to be no more than Is years of
age. She must have been older, for
later it developed that she was
wife. With her was her husband
who on this occasion was mistaken
for her father, The girl strolled nom
chalantly to the piano and her hus-
band took chair by her side. Run
ming her fingers lightly over the keys
she played some Spanish air. For
moment then she stopped and a rip
pie of polite applause ran around the
room
The girl turned half way on her
stool, smiled pleasantly, and again
touched the keys with her fingers. And
what thrill went through every
American in the room as the notes
of THE Star Spangled Banner" sound
ed forth! Here was breath of
home, coming Unexpectedly, to some
of the men who had helped to make
this home place of which to be
proud. With a common impulse they
rose to their feet and stood in silence
until the hymn was ended. The lit
tie girl faced around again, smiling at
the applause which, greeted her deli
cate compliment
1--WE thank you" said the admiral
in his sweetest way, and everyone
bowed
The Spaniards had heard the song
and they peered from their rooms and
peeked into the court rrom the hotel
office, not sourly, but in wonder at
this defiance to their flag But no
one said word in opposition, no
doubt accepting the situation as part
of the transformation then in process
Not for many day had that song
been played in San Juan. because
even to hum ii on the street would
have served as a signal FOR the mob
to rise. But this Porto Rican girl
had broken the ice and thereafter
there was always the solace of Amer.

cusion to which you have arrived clearly and
distinctly. This it your right, and, under
your oath of office, your duty to do The procla-

course l would myself prefer. But I am ready
to take it just it is written and to stand by 1t
with all my heart I think, however, the sugges-
lions of Governor Seward very judicious, and
shall be glad to have them adopted"
The president then asked us severally
opinions to the modification proposed, saying
that he did not much about the phrases he
had used Every one favored the modification,
and it was adopted. Governor Seward then pro
posed that, in the passage relating to colonial
ton language should be introduced to
show that the colonization proposed to be
only with the consent of the colonists and the
consent of the states in which colonies might be
attempted This, too, was agreed to, and no
other modification proposed.
Gideon Welles, secretary of the navy, also re
corded in his diary the events of that day He
too, alluded to the solemn covenant Lincoln had
made to free the slaves in the event Of victory
The victory had come and Lincoln had made up

taking up the proclamation, the president sta I'd
that the question finally decided, the act and
the consequences were his, but that he felt it
due to us to make us acquainted with the f}ct

CUPID'S ESPECIAL DAY
is THAT OF GOOD ST.
VALENTINE.

~ USTOM, more potent than any
other authority known to man,
~ has decreed that on st. Valen-
tines day those of opposite sex
shall exchange missives and epistlesr
either comic or sentimental, in which
the fofbles of the receiver or the love
of the sender are set forth in prose,
in verse and in emblematic picture.
Now there is no custom without a
reason. but the reason for this can
not be found in the life of the good
saint who is made to indorse this Gus
tom with his name
He wrote no love song,
mo one rises to accuse him of cast
ing sleeps eyes on any Roman
maiden. He was a bishop or pope of
Rome who stood steadfast to the
faith during the Claudian persecu-
tons, and for that faith was cast into
jail, where he cured his keepers

Nor was there anything comic or
sentimental in the fate of st. Valen-
tine when the miracle was made
known to the authorities. They first
beat him with clubs and then be-
headed him. What was left of him is
preserved in the Church of ST.

About this time of the year-Febru-
ary-the birds choose their mates, and
probably thence came the custom OF
the young men and maidens choosing
valentines for special loving friends

Francis Douce 0S0D, discussing
the same subject, says: 1T was Gus
tomary to put the names of young
women into a box, from which they
were drawn by the men as chance dl-
rected and the Christian clergy, find
ing it difficult or impossible to ex-
tirpate, the pagan practice, gave it at
least a religious aspect by substitute
ing the names of particular saints for
those of the women"

In the latter part of the sixteenth
century" according to Rev Albain
Butler) "the church, in the person of
st. Francis de Sales, once more
stepped in to sanctify the rites of St.
Valentines day. ST. Francis severely
forbade the custom of valentines or
giving boys in writing the name of
girls to be admired and attended on
by them, and to abolish it he changed
it into giving billets with the names
of certain saints for them to honor
and initiate in particular manner"
But in the end the boys and the
girls triumphed over the saint. Nay,
the girls triumphed also over the
boys, wrestling from them their ex-
elusive privilege of choosing mates.
Othelia sings:
Good morrow. tits st Valentines day,
All in the morn betfme,
And l a maid at your window
To be your Valentine.
Last year an frate old maid who
had been the recipient Of a comic
valentine which had stung her to the
quick repaired to the factory, where
it was made, with a rawhide and a
limb of the law. She demanded the
name of the person who had sent her
the Objectionable missive. In vain
she was assured that the factory was
the last place in the world to learn
the name of the sender When told
that the factory sold comics by the
hundred gross to jobbers who, in turn,
sold to wholesalers. and then supplied
the retailer dealer who vended to in
dividual customers, she swore round

Many clever young people in society

entines they send TO favored ones. In
come instances a part of the decora-
ton consists of jewels, diamonds,
pearls or other gems, and the in
trinsic value of the bauble is thus en-
HANGED.
Valentine parties are still in popu-
lar favor, and those who have not
the ability to write love-sonnets or
design sentimental valentines fire.
ouently go to artist friends. and even
to professional artists, and have pri
vate valentines made. At these par
ties each person exchanges vaien-
tines. French imported valentines run
as high as $500 and $500, according
to the richness of the lace and other
trimmings, but these expensive mis-
sives are rarely kept in stock.
