A WOMAN OF GREAT CHARM.

willard French, well known maya
Zine writer, in penning an article re-.
ferring to LaSalle Corbell Pickett, the
gifted southern lady who is to appear
here on our Chautauqua, says of her:
Mrs. Pickett is tall and exquisitely
graceful, a woman of perfect taste, in
nerent sunshine, an exponent Of ideal
southern refinement. She has beauti-
ful waving, iron gray hair, swept back
from a broad forehead, heavy eye
brows over large hazel eyes that spar
kle and flash and laugh.
Can it be possible that she is the
widow Of the great Confederate gen.
eral, George E. Pickett, who led his
brave ten thousand in that awful
charge at Gettysburg? Equally, can it
De possible that she is the mother of
Major George E. Pickett, one of the
best officers in the United States army ?
one cannot help feeling that it is i'm
possible. The calendar has kept its
tabs on time, but Mrs. Pickett has been
too busy with other things to indorse
the receipt
1t Is true that she had at the start
every possible advantage over time, for
she was just what they called her,
the Baby Bride of the Confederacy,' -
when she married the great general in
the darkest hours of the conflict, fol-
lowing the charge at Gettysburg. Full
OF brilliant conversation, quick wit.
scfntillatng sunshine and good will for
all creation, she is so undemonstrative
and gentle that one must watch to real
lie that she is as much an effective
leader today as her husband was half
a century ago"

FAREWELL OF PICKETT AND
HIS STAFF.

LaSalle Corbell Pickett in telling Of
the close of the war between the states
and the parting of her husband, Gen
era1 George E. Pickett of the Confed-
eracy. and his staff says:
HE gave his staff farewell break
fast at our home. They did not once
refer to the past, but each wore a blue
strip, tied like sash, around his waist.
It was the old headquarters flag, which
they had saved from the surrender and
torn into strips that each might keep
one in sad memory. After breakfast
he went to the door and from a white
rosebush which his mother had plant
ed cut bud for each. He put one in
my hair and pinned one to the coat of
each of his officers. Then for the first
time the tears came, and the men who
had been closer than brothers for four
fearful years clasped hands In silence
and parted"

OF the original 16 grievances. all
but three had been amicablv settled be-
fore Mr.. Hanger s appointment as me

which involved the right of appeal. was
settled by the substitution of a new
rule. This provides that clerks may al.
peal their grievances, except in com
potency cases, to the general superin-
tendent who shall appoint committee
to which he may be a member, to hold
"a hearing and make final disposition of
the matter. The rule is similar to the
one now in force between the company
and its engineers and fircmen.
The other cases, technically known as
" the Harrington case and ''House
No. 81 of Boston, were settled by con
cessions. The agreement, drafted bv

1t is good news to read that the clerks
of the New Haven railroad system and
the managers of the great corporation
have come to an agreement without re

positive and constructive factor in the
regeneration of business confidence. The
clerks have performed public service
in settling their problem amicably.

SAW MRS. GRANT FIRE CANNON

The first time LaSalle Corbell Pickett
saw General and Mrs. Z. S. Grant was
through a tieldglass, and Mrs. Grant
was firing n cannon at the Confeder-
ates. Mrs. Pickett was visiting the
Confederate camp while the two
armies were facing each other and
was on horse near General Pickett's
headquarters. Mrs. Grant was visit
ing the Federal camp and was given
the honor of firing the first shots in
testing some new cannon. While Mrs.
Pickett sat in her saddle watching an
officer, who had just spoken to her and
was riding away, was instantly killed
by one of the cannon shots.
