‘‘Headquarters United Confeder
ate Veterans, Adjutant-General’s
Office, New Orleans, La., April o,
1900. —My Dear Comrades: The
delay in answering your letters,
communications, and attending to
your requests and orders has been
occasioned by my absence at Louis
ville for nearly a week.
‘‘l went there at the invitation
of the reunion comm tteeto inspect
their work and advise with them.
1 found them a splendid body of
Confederate veterans, patriotic to
the core, enthusiastic and pains
taking, even to the smallest details,
and thoroughly imbued with the
idea that they intend to make this
tenth reunion the greatest of all.
They are leaving nothing undone
to make your visit to Lousville
pleasant, agreeable, comfortable
and noteworthy, and they are de
termined that when you leave there
that you shall carry to your homes
nothing but good impressions and
happy memories of your visit to
the “Falls City.”
“The reunion hall, which they
have built specially as your meet
ing place, is very large, commo
dious and beautiful, and will seat
fully 10,000.
“Those who are unable to pay
while there will be taken care of
gratis by the committee; those who
are able to pay can secure board at
many of the hotels and at plenty of
private houses, at from $1 per day
up.
“Kailroad rates have been re
duced, but we hope for a still fur
ther reduction. A fine band will
be placed at each division head
quarters to remain subject to the
orders of the division commander
in the parade and during the entire
time of the reunion.
“As has been customery at all
of our reunions the parade will
consist only of the Veterans, the
Sponsors, Sons of Veterans,
Daughters of the Confederacy, dis
tinguished Confederate guests,mil
itary escorts accompanying veter
ans and the reunion officials.
“The department and division
headquarters are all close to the re
union hall and within a radius of
three blocks of each other.
“Make your arrarngement to go
and take your families, and every
one you can, and you will receive
a regular Kentucky welcome and
will be the recipients of that bound
less hospitality which the golden
hearted people of Louisville know
so well how to dispense.”

N- C. & ST. L. ABSORPTION.
Louisville and Nashville Proposes
to Make a Deal.
New York, April 12. —Official
announcement is made of the plan
for the absorption of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis by the
Louisville and Nashyille. The
latter has for several years controll
ed the road through the ownership
of its $10,000,000 of stock. It is
now proposed to exchange the out
standing shares of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis for
Louisville and Nashville stock at
the ratio of two shares of the form
er for one of the latter. August
Belmont, chairman ot the Louisville
and Nashville.has issued a circular
informing shareholders of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis road that an examination
made of the condition and affairs
of the latter company shows that
for many years dividends have
been paid out of funds which should
have been properly devoted to the
maintenance and extension of the
property; that additional expendi
ture will be necessary, which can
only be met by suspension of divi
dends for a period of at least five
years. As the Louisville and Nash
ville. he says, has a large interest
in the stock of the Chattanooga
railway it has decided to propose
to the shareholders to offer them
one share of stock of the Louisville
and Nashville for two shares of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis, provided such stock shall
be delivered to the Louisville and
Nashville railroad on or before
July 2.

STARTLINGLY PITIABLE-
In Many Districts of Puerto Rtco
There is No Physicians.
San Juan, P. R., April 12. —The
startling fact was recently made
public that in many districts ol
Puerto Rico where the population
reaches thousands, there is no res
ident physician. For instance,
Wayuya, a town of 1,500 must de
pend upon the simplest remedies
in case of illness, as there is no
physician within call. At Utuado
the death rate is eight per cent, an
nually and this town is a day’s
ride from Ponce through the moun
tains. It appears that physicians
have been sent to these districts
but they refuse to remain, largely
because no town is able to support
one. Asa result of this condition
of things the order providing a
physician for every 500 people is
now very difficult of enforcement,
because the towns reply that there
is no fund to pay for such service.
The island is one vast poor house,
and there are opportunities for
charity at every step.
Were SIO,OOO to be expended
immediately for medicine and med
ical aid, it would possibly save the
lives of 3.000 people. At one
time the government considered
the feasibility of assigning a phy
sician to each town at an aggregate
cost of SBO,OOO per year, but the
funds for such ou;lay are not avail
able.
IT WILL CUT
NOFIdE.
So Thinks Chairman Jones Regard
ing Dewey’s Candidacy.
BRYAN WILL BE NOMINATED.
And That By Acclamation. Deway s
Candidacy Is Backed Up
by Much Money,
(From our Regular Correspondent )
Washington, April 13, 1900.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee, who
has just returned from New York,
ridicules the story that the anti-
Bryan democrats who are behind
Dewey’s candidacy, would get a
Dewey delegation sent from New
York to Kansas City convention.
He says that Dewey’s candidacy
will cut no figure at all in connect
ion with the democratic nomination
for president; that Col. Bryan will
be nominated by acclamation. And
his opinion is shared by practical
ly all the democrats in both branch
es of congress. It is said, although
your correspondent does not vouch
for it, that Dewey’s backers have a
lot of money to use in buying the
support of country democratic pa
pers, in order to try to make it ap
pear that there is a strong demo
cratic sentiment in favor of his
nomination. There isone drawback
to this scheme that will kill it. The
country democratic editors, al
though mostly poor men, are not
for sale. In fact, the country edi
tors of this country have a record
for incorruptibility that any class
of men mignt well be proud of.
They are constantly imposed upon,
and give more for nothing than any
set of men on earth; but they very
rarely sell themselves.
The democrats of the house made
a good fight against the Porto Rico
bill but as they could not prevent
republicans swallowing their pnb
licly announced convictions they
lacked a few votes and could not
defeat it. The abomination has
been signed by Mr. McKinley and
the responsibility of the republican
party for it is now complete,
The action ot the senate commit
tee on elections in deciding by a
utianimotls vote that Senator Clark,
of Montana, was not entitled to the
seat he holds, is considered more of
a condemnation of Montana politi
cal methods than of Mr. C'ark per
son dly. Senator Pettus spoke
the thought of many of his
colleagues when he said: “I
have more respect for Mr. Clark
than I have for those who have
been hounding him. I do not think
the use of SIOO,OOO or more in elect
ing Mr. Clark was warranted, but
at the same time I have no doubt
that Mr. Daly will spend at least
$125,000 in prosecuting the case.
I want to say, also, that I do not
believe Mr. Clark was personally
cognizant of the manner in whmh
the money was used.” Mr. Clark
says he intends to get vindicated,
but that is all he will say at this
time. There is little or no doubt
that the senate will endorse the
report of the committee, if Mr.
Clark's resignation does not make
a vote unnecessary. Had the re
port been to expel Mr. Clark a two
third vote would have been requir
ed to adopt it, but as it simply de
clares him not entitled to a seat a
majority vote will adopt it. There
is a possibility that Mr.
Clark may forestall action by
resigning and seeking a re-elec
tion.
Representative Catchings, of
Miss., is one of the democrats who
think that the ticket may be B ryan
and Dewey. Speaking of that
probability he said: “I feel sure
that Dewey would take the vice
presidential nomination, and think
that is what he is working for. He
certainly must appreciate the fact
that he cannot get the nomination
for president from Bryan, whose
selection is absolutely assured. At
present no one is named for second
place who would command as
many votes as Dewey, and, in fact,
no one is suggested whose name is
universally accepted. Bryan and
Dewey can defeat Mr. McKinley
without any question.”

ONE reason Mrs. Pinkham's treatment helps women so
promptly is that they have confidence in her. q
Through some of the many thousands of Mrs. Pink
ham’s friends an ailing woman will be led to write to Mrs.
Pinkham at her home in Lynn,
Mass., and will tell her symptoms.
The reply, made without charge of
any kind, will bear such evidence
of knowledge of the trouble that
belief in her advice at once inspires
hope.
This of itself is a great help.
Then the knowledge that women only see the letters asking
for advice and women only assist Mrs. Pinkham in replying
makes it easy to be explicit about the little things that define
the disease.
Mrs. Eliza Thomas, of 634 Pine St., Easton, Pa., writes:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham —I doctored with two of the best
about four years I was a great sufferer from female troubles. I
had backache all of the time, no appetite, painsin stomach, faint
ing spells, was weak and my system was completely run down.
I also had falling of womb so bad that I could scarcely walk

Compound and one box of Lozengers, can say I am cured. ”
things which are sometimes irrev
eient. For instance, when Repre
sentative Steele, of Ind., who had
boasted of being a farmer, said, in
answer to a question by Represen
tative Richardson, of Tenn., that he
raised “corn and wheat, cattle and
hogs,” Mr. Talbert thew the house
into laughter by adding: “The
gentlemen will also raise hell in
Indiana.”
Senator-elect Blackburn sizes up
the political outlook thusly: “In
my congressional experience of 25
years I have never known a con
gress in the control of either party
that made as many political blun
ders. If we can’t wipe out the re
publicans in November on the
blunders made thus far by fifty
sixth congress we ought to go out
of business. They have made up
the issues of imperialism, militar
i tn and trusts exactly to our lik
ing Indeed, if they had deliber
a ely started in to make a good job
of it for us they could not have
done better. Having these facts
i 1 mind I feel certain that the re
publican managers will hasten the
c ose of the session, and welcome
t le day w'hen they can breath easy
so far as congress is concern
ed. For this reason Ido not be
lieye any effort will be made to
force the ship subsidy bill through,
The republicans are not looking

RAILWAY TELEGRAPHERS QUIT.
Nearly All the Men on the Southern
Railway Strike.
Chattanooga Times.
The threatened strike by the
Railway Telegraphers in the em
ploy of the Southern system began
yesterday morning at 11 o’clock.
A little before that hour W. V.
Powell, president of the Order of
Railway Telegraphers, sent from
Atlanta, Ga., the following mes
sage out over the lines:
To All Telegraphers Employed on
the Southern Railway:
Turn your board red and quit
wo k at 11 o’clock today (Thurs
day). Perform no service of any
kind. Stand firm, and victory is
ours.
In an instant the words had
flashed oVer the entire Southern
system, and in less time than it
takes to tell it one of the most
widespread and far-reaching strikes
that ever occurred on any railway
system in the south had begun se
riously and in earnest. Promptly
at 11 o’clock the orders went into
effect. Telegraphers all along the
line shut down instantly and tele
graphic service on the five great
divisions of the Southern railway
ceased immediately.
INTENSE INTEREST IN THIS CITY.
As each of these five divisions
passes through Chattanooga, in
tense interest was naturally felt in
this citj\ As swiftly as possible
dispatches were sent out on the
main line—the Knoxville division
—the Alabama Great Southern,the
Memphis and Charleston, the Geor
gia and the Central Alabama di
vision to ascertain how effective
and widespread the strike had be
come. It was evident in a few
hours that the orders of President
Powell had been generally obeyed.
As the afternoon passed away fresh
evidence came to prove that the
telegrapeers had acted promptly
and unitedly in cairying out the
strike.
In this city every railway tele
grapher walked out of his office at
11 o’clock, leaving numerous mes
sages to be sent “hanging on the
hook.” Asa result all railway
business had to be handled by mail
or through the Western Union or
the post offices. Of the seven
telegraphers employed by the Sou
thern railway in this city only one
was a member of the Order of Rail
way Telegraphers, but all went
out.
