OFFICIAL ROUTES
ARE SELECTED FOR
GOING TO REUNION

Local veterans who contemplate at
tending the reunion next June will
be interested in the general order
relative to the great gathering at the
national capital generally. One of
the features which stand out promi-
nently in the order, and which has
been pointed out is the fact that the
selection of a city for holding the
next Florida reunion has not yet been
selected, and it is possible that the
claims of this city will be urged.
The announcement of the major
general is as follows:
General Order No. 8.
The general commander takes
pleasure in saying that as the Sea-
board and Atlantic Coast Line rail-
ways have both been so exceedingly
obliging and generous to the old Con-
federate soldiers that both roads are
designated as official routes for our
reunion, which is to be held in the
city of Washington on Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday, June 5, 6 and Z.
AS the Seaboard passes through his
old home in South Carolina, the gen.
eral commander and some members
of the staff will go on the Seaboard
special, but others are at liberty to
select whichever route that best suits
their convenience.
AS no city in Florida has yet been
selected for holding the next state re-
union, a meeting will be called in
Washington for that purpose.
This matter is now brought to the
-
that the invitation of no city may be
overlooked.
The general commander has engag-
ed rooms at the Cochran hotel, and
it will therefore be the headquarters
for the Florida division while in
Washington. 1t is reputed to be an
excellent hotel, well located and rates
reasonable.
All veterans contemplating attend
ing the reunion in Washington are
advised to secure accommodations al
once, as rooms are supposed to be in
demand.
We are glad that it can at last be
proclaimed that the valor of the Con
federate soldier is received in all sec.
lions of the country as part of the
HdIlOu heritage, ana everywhere &C
knowledged that it adds lustre to it:
/ record.
With rancor and hate all buried. we
can now recount the thrilling scenes
that "tried mems souls" within the
very gates of the nations capita
| without recourse to bitter memories
| AS time recedes, the thinner grow,
our ranks, the more illustrious appea
our deeds of valor and the more read
lily they invite and compel, not onl!
recognition, but admiration.
We meet at the capital at critica
period in the nations history, and i
is on that account believed that on,
reunion will be the most memorabl,
in its history, and it is hoped that i
will be largely attended.
i By order,

A fine new American flag was on
Monday flung to the breezes over the
historical Blaine mansion on State
street, Augusta, now the headquarters
Of the Maine Committee Of Public
Safety of 100 members, which has per-
fected it's organization with John Z.
Bunker of Bar Harbor as executive
secretary and George E. Macomber of
Augusta as treasurer.
Charles S. Brown of Bath, the State
superintendent of public buildings, has
done splendid work in getting the old
mansion ready for occupancy so much
sooner than was expected, his work
along that line being a piece of war
emergency engineering that has sell
dom been eqUalled. Mr. Bunker has
done equally good work in equipping
an office force which will be added to
by experienced stenographers and
typewriters as the work goes on. Mr..
Bunker's experience as secretary of
State makes him particularly fitted for
carrying out the work of the Commit
tee of Public Safety which is likely to
become more and more strenuous as
time goes on.
The following committees have
already been organized with these
chairmen, arrangements having been
perfected at the meeting of the eXecu-
tive committee last Saturday after

With the old open fire places in op-

mansion as the headquarters of the
new committee of public safety has
entered upon a stage Of its career of
which the late owner would certainly
highly approve were he living.

number being 90 and Mr.. Bunker and

Once more that long, winding stretch
of mountain road lay empty under the
moonlight. Up the long slope. where
three months before he had ridden to
find himself confronted with the ad-
venture of his life, John Strangewey
logged homeward in his high dogcart.
The mare, seeming her stable, broke
into a quick trot as they topped the
long rise. Suddenly she felt hand
tighten upon her reins. She looked
inuuiringly around, and then stood pa
tiently awaiting her masters bidding.
It seemed to John as if he had passed
from the partial abstraction of the last
few hours into absolute end entire for-
getfulness Of the present. He could
see the motorcar drawn up by the side
of the road, could hear the fretful
voice of the maid, and the soft, pleas
ant words of greeting from the woman
who had seemed from the first as If
she were very far removed indeed
from any Of the small annoyanceS Of
their accident.

the recollection was a torture to him.

scend from the car, felt the touch of
her hand on his arm, saw the fash

LAST OF THE CARlB INDIANS
Not More Than One Hundred of Race
Which Columbus Found in West
indies Are Still Alive.

The Carib Indian was the first repre-
sentative of Lo, the poor red man, to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he is assured a
monument as long as geography shall
last, and he needs it, because as a liv-
ing race he has practically disap-
peared.
How many thousands of Caribs
dwelt in the West Indies in 1892 Is
largely q matter of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand Of the conqueror, who worked
them as slaves and shot them when
they made war. Today it is doubtful
whether there are 100 pure-blooded
Caribs alive. Practically all of them
live on the British isle of Dominica, on
a reservation set apart for them called
Salybia.
The reservation is very difficult Of
access, for there is no sheltered har-
Dor or landing place. The only method
of approach is by one of the coasting
steamers which circle the island.
When the steamer gets opposite Sa-
Lydia with anyone who wants to land
aboard, she stops and whistles. If the
weather is good and the water smooth
enough, canoe puts out and takes the
passenger ashore. If the weather is
too rough the passenger must needs
content himself to 60 on around the
island and try again on the next round.
