Where Steamer Grounded.

AS lnd1cateO Dy the HrSt ulSpdlCh' the Alameda grounded near the Seward dock, which is on Resurrec- tion Bay at the south end of Broad way, principal street at Seward. The depth of water at the Seward dock, even at low tide, is sufficient to float any steamer and it is believed in Juneau that the Alameda must have gone astern, in getting away from the dock and stuck on the sandy bottom of the harbor just west of the dock. Going out from the dock. in an easterly direction, the water is also deep unless heavy southwestern was blowing and the Alameda not being under full speed ahead might have grounded on the north eide of the dock near the trestle, but also on a sandy beach.
 First reports indicated that the Alameda might have grounded at Gaines Head, nine miles down Res. urrection Bay from Seward, but the latest report shows that the steamer grounded near the Seward wharf.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 24.- This city, where the first reunion of the United Confederate Veterans As sociation was held on July 4, 1890. again will receive the veterans in an- nual encampment tomorrow, and not withstanding recurrence of the yearly predictions that "This will be the last gathering of the Confederate army" the campaign for the 1922 re- union is already under way. Savan- nah, Ga, whose city council has ap- propriated $120OO for the purpose of entertaining the old soldiers. was the first to enter the field for the honor
 Although time has dealt kindly with the Confederate veteran, each reunion has made it apparent that his vitality is surrendering and ef- 1 forts are being made in many cities and towns to send as many of them to this years reunion as possible. Atlanta. Ga has undertaken the task of raising a fund of $5,O00 with which so defray the reunion expenses Of every dependent veteran in the At lanta district. Many other communi ties have adopted similar methods to swell the ranks when the gray army parades the streets of Chattanooga this month

 1 While the veterans parade each year gives a pathetic touch to the gathering, the brighter side of the reunions invariably predolninatcs The social events always are sz out. standing feature Commanders of departments, divisions. brigades and camps appoint sponsors and maids of honor and bring them all to the encampments. The veteran always is the patriarch of the assemblage and the honored guest of all occa sions. Dancing the Virginia reel is one of his delights, and many still are able to go through the steps oi the more modern dances. Frequently the younger set takes a back seat to permit the old soldiers and their wives to dance the polka, the two step or the round" waltz.

ON WITH THE FIGHT.

To talk of calling of the Dempsey. Carpentier fight is an insult to the sporting fraternity. Never in the his. tory of the ring has there been such bright prospects for good clean fight. It is stated on good authority that a warm friendship exists between the two contestants for worlds hon. ors, and the friends of both parties know their man as gentleman. Much can be learned about the manly art by discussion of the merits of the two men and a good clean conversation among men is assured, when they dix cuss the approaching contest.
 In this fight there has been no ra- cial feeling for there are fully 50 per cent. of the people who wish that Carpenter wins by knockout. Even the followers of Dempsey say that if he is defeated, they hope it is Car pentier who does 1t.

 Throughout tho year Saturday Is a hard day for clerks and other em- ployes of stores. as well as for the merchants themselves. The latter. however. have the satisfaction on tnoso busy days. of seeing the receipts como in rapidly.
 It would inconvenience practically every man or woman who works to close the stores on Saturday. It would mean great hardship to many merchants. It Is out of the question.
 But merchants believe. and aiii who have any though Of the other follow" believe that employees in stores should have at least ono half holiSay in tho hot summer in addition to all of Sum day.
 So when one finds a store closed Wednesday afternoon tho feeling should no Dc one of irritation that one Is inconvcnienced. but there should como a sense of satisfaction that the merchants of the city have taken thought for those ia their em- pioy oven though 1t may mean a slight financial loss to them.

 A Cleveland manufacturer is sell Ing a certain machine for s109: it costs him SIS to make it. The other day he got a letter from a firm in Germany offering to duplicate the machine and deliver it to Cleveland for s21.
