[CONFEDERATE Wm GRAVES Hpident Mckinlev Writes to governors as to Their Location. Hfikbinta. r )f*r. 31. —F’resident McKinley, ■pt appear*, has begun preparations for a Bnractical application of the sentiments ex- Br- in his now famous address before HKhe Georgia legislature during his recent Hprieit to Atlanta. A request Is said to have been sent to ■ the governors 0 { the various states asking Hkhem to inform the war records office of location of the various cemeteries in wtjteh Confederate soldiers are buried. Tbt* is the first step in the development of # t»be Idea of placing the Confederate graves P tinder the care of the national govern r menu A communication seeking to ascertain IL the location of the Confederate cemeteries !in Georgia has been received by Assistant [ Adjutant Obear. The request comes from I General Marcus J. Wright, agent of the’ wa» eeords office. | The request has not yet been placed in the hands of Governor Candler, but when [ presented to him it will be acted upon I at an early date and the department will ■be given information concerning the grave of every Confederate soldier who is l \buried in Georgia. A* From the communication which was re- by Colonel Obear it appears that a Hktmilar request has been sent to the gov- of eacb state. MwVb ti President McKinley spoke before Georgia legislature two weeks ago re • the making of the care of the of the Confederate* a national HBharge the sentiment was applauded to the | echo and this applause followed him Mthroughout his tour of the south. Not Konly in* the south was his expression ap- Mb roved, but from every section of the Hpquntry came words of commendation for Bathe president's fraternizing words. i The order which was received by the Hrassistant adjutant general comes as evi ■ dence of the fact that the president was Kearnest in his utterances and that the day grwhen he national government will care for ■ Confederate graves is not far distant, r ,It appears that the .president, as soon as I he returned to the national capital from I; his triumphal tour of the south, began I preparations for a practical application of I the sentiments so happily expressed. It I seems that the order sent to Georgia has E been sent to all the southern states, and as I a ic-sult, the department will soon be fa ll miliar with the location of every Confed f erat cemetery in the country. Governor Candler, when asked about the order stated that it had not been handed I him by the assistant adjutant general and he had no knowledge of the fact that it had been received. “'lt Is mv intention," said Governor Candler, "to issue a circular letter in the course of the next few days to the ordin aries of the various counties requesting them to send to this office information concerning the men who left the various counties to enter the Confederate army and the location of the gravee of those who are buried in the different counties, f im doing this as a result of a resolution passed by the legislature directing that such information be obtained 'by the de partment. If such a letter as mentioned has come from Washington I will probably see it in the morning." The information Governor Candler will receive from the ordinaries of the differ ent counties is identical with that which is said ,/ be desired at Washington, and when it has been received a duplicate of it will, in all .probability, be forwarded to the war records office.!’ j A FRIGHTFUL ROUNDER.

TRIBUTES TO ROMERO The Government Formally Recognizes the Virtues of the Diplomatist By Associated Press. Washington. Dec. 31. —.Speaking of the death of Matias Romero, the Mexican am bassador. Secretary of State Hay said: “His residence here for forty years, with brief intervals of absence, forms the longest continuous kngth of service ever attained by a. foreign diplomat in this country, and his elevation and dignity of character, his uniform courtesy to all with \v>om he was brought in contact, his sin cerity and straightforwardness endeared lv m to everybody. He leaves a place hard to till in the official life of the capital. Few diplomats have ever accomplished so much good la strengthening the relations of friendship and good neighbors between the country that he represented and the country in which he was so lon* an hon ored guest." The secretary sent the following tele gram to Ambassador Powell Clayton: “Express to the president and govern ment of Mexico the deep sorrow and sin cere condolence of the president and gov ernment of the United States by reason pf the death of the honored representative of the sister republic. Long known to us and esteemed in the highest degree for his sterling qualities and personal endow ments, Senor Romero's death at this time when higher honor and enlarged usefulness had been deservedly conferred upon him. is especially lamented. The president and cabinet will attend the funeral.” AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN WORK SHOPS. There are many machine shops, both in England and on the continent .that will supply complete plants of machinery and manufacture within their own walls boil ers. engines, shaftings, hangers, pulleys, small tools and all sorts of machines, both large and small. While this state of af fairs may be explained historically, it can not be defended as an economic pticiple, in the light of modern practice. The very opposite policy is followed by most,Amer ican makers of machinery. Many concerns devote themselves entirely to one line of machinery, and have no hesitation what ever in refusing orders for anything which they have not made a special study. A natural segregation has occurred in all the arts and sciences and the American idea of specializing in the manufacture of machine tools is but a practical applica tion of this principle. European nations must follow the same lines if they hope to compete.—H. F. L. Orcutt. in the En gineering Magazine for January. ,’f>9 Ramblers, *lO.

The gift by Queen Victoria of SSO and her pofrait. which her Majesty seat ;o a Mrs. Keveth, of St. Breward. Cornwall, in appreciation of the services of Mrs. Ke veth's seven sons in the army, has had the effect of bringing to light several other eases of large families who have upheld the flag of old England, says the New York Herald. Whether these cases have been discovered with a view of sharing the. queenly reward or merely to show that there “were others,” does not seem to be •clear, but the fact is that there have been not a few families in which a large num ber of sons have fought in the same regi ment. The Battye brothers are believed to have been the most numerous of any one family of fighters. There were ten of these men, and they were all in the army at one time. Battles took off four, but the others went on fighting, and made good records without meeting disaster. One of them achieved signal distinction, being appointed Military Knight at Windsor. This was Colonel Montague Battye, and bis installation took place not long ago. Eight sons were given by Mrs. Margaret Clark. ,who died at Plymouth in 1817. Seven of these sons entered the naval ser vice of John Bull, the remaining son don ning the uniforrp of a soldier. The navy boys bad harder “going" than the one who fought on land, for in an engagement commanded on one side by Admiral Kep ipel five of the sons were killed in one day.

As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much larger in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know that your make is the best? If both articles are brought prominently before the public bqth are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment upon them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy, The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon They may occasionally take up with some fash ionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable.
