SUNDAY
AGAIN PASSES WITH NO DRUNKs
IN THE CITY LOOKUP; POLICE
COURT VERY QUIET.

Anything new over Sunday?" was
the question put to the authorities of
the police department of Mt. Vernon
Monday morning. The answer was
mot even a plain drunk"
No offenders graced the cells of the
city Jail, everyone staying at home
or being entirely too good to attract
the attention of the members of the
police force.
This is the second Sunday in sue
cession in the police department that
no offenders have been placed in the
city jail. Everyone is being good,
thereby lessening the amount OF the
distasteful business OF the mayor and
chief of police. However, this is not
to be regretted

in the promotion which comes as
fitting recognition OF his signal abiI-

Grace Presbyterian church at St
Louis, which has honored the Rev.
Clemmer by calling him as its pastor,
is one of the newest and finest in that
city, having been built only few
years ago. II is constructed entirely
of stone and occupies n spacious and
commanding corner only few blocks
from what was recently the Worlds
fair site. 1t is also but short dis
tance from Cabanney avenue, one OF
the noted residential streets of st.
Louis. In appearance it Is Gothic
and its beauty is further enhanced by
private hedge which entirely sur
rounds its grounds. The yearbook
of the church shows its organization
to be institution in character with
gymnasium, an athletic association,
Camp Fire Girls. etc. 1t has a mem
bership roll of over 500 and a Sunday
school almost as large with teaching
personnel of 80. Rev. Clemmer will
have two assistants in his new work,
backed by twelve elders, nine deacons
and thirteen trustees,

coincidence that the same week pas

Presbyterian church OF Des Moines,

than they had ever paid before If he

Clemmer felt, however, that st. Louis

that his salary is TO be S3,5O0 il he

Rev Clemmer came to Mt. Vernon
in October. 1910. and the following
March was unfortunate enough to
lose by death his wife and helpmate
upon whom he depended so much for
advice and encouragement. This loss
subsequently proved q serious handi-
cap for him. but in spite of ii he has
given the Presbyterian church in this

The Surrender of Lee at App0mattax "Reminiscences of Surgeon of Mahones Division on
 That Memorable Event.

l this The answer was General Lef has surrendered to General Grant. l was shocked beyond expression. Tho
 men of our regiment called to me from the line to come to them at once to tell them what had occurred hurried to them and told them the news. No word can express the sd7ne that followed: they had not thought of surrender, but they stood in line. After while they were allowed e stack arms, but were ordered to re- Tnain near the line. A like scene oc- cured in Fields division across the road. We camped taere until We started home. We were not allowed to wander about. There were no other troops in sight except mounted federal vdettes all around us. about a mile away. They all kept in per feet order. 4 federal battery did be gin to fire ha1f-minute guns, but after a few minutes these stopped Now ard then 9 squad of federals went by US, but always on duty with no stop As they passed us they saluted us re- spectfully and wondered at the very small number of our men, no evidenGs Of disposition to crow over us.
 Altogether, we remained in this "tull-pen" four days. the federals in- 'dulged in no boasts, no firing of guns. no cheers that we heard. Never in all history was a captured army treated with So much respect. We were half starved so faint and weary We were gwen one days short rations while there, the fedcrals stating that they themselves had very little food
 Those "reminiscences that l wish to lay stress upon are the manner in which the federals received the sur render of our arms and their expres- sions of admiration. l ,:ill now tell of how our (Mahone's) division surrend : cred. ] suppose all the rest of our troops were treated in the same man.

 On the 10th inst. we were marched
 a mile or more, then came is sight o i the United States army, which we
 then saw for the first time at this place. Tn front of US was field wi:c two ridges or hills running parallel about one~half of a mile apart. A i cross ridge connected them, making three sides of a parallelogram. with 1 the end next 10 us open. On the three sides of this were standing large federal army; many thousands, al! armed and in serried ranks, with arms "at shoulders" flags flying, Of ficers in their places. It was grand sight! No cheering, no orders audible to us, perfect silence.
 We entered the open end of this parallelogram halfway between the two lines. Oh. the heart -breaking ordeal for us! Every offider aler-, arms to right shoulder shift" flags flying. Oh! the poor fellows! I can not keep from shedding tears now, fortynine years after. Ragged, dirty, unkempt, many barefooted, many coatless, some hatless, eyes swollen. oH. oC HuHSly dIQ so weary!
 Released Peniless.
 Yet as they entered this place. where they were to be disarmed and turned loose moneyless, to find their way back to their homes in the vari. ous Southern states, where mothers. wives and children were so poor, 50 helpless, where houses had been burned and farm animals had died or been carried off, these poor fellows dropped their route step and fell into parade step, drew back their shoulders raised their dropping heads and looked at the brave array of blue on both sides and in front of them. Oh how proud of them was I--were all of us, for we were all well-nigt alike in clothing and other essentials.
 When General Malone had pro- gressed so far that the rear of his dlvlslon was within the parallelogra.n, he halted his men and faced them uo the left. ordered them r eIlose up, then ordered them to stack arms.
