CONFEDERATES
HOLD REUNION
Chattanooga Making Elaborate
Preparations
Something of the Arrangements to
Care for the Confederate Veterans—
Big Attendance Expected.
Chattanooga, Tenn., April I.—This
city is preparing to entertain the
largest crowd that has attended a re
union of the Confederate veterans and
Sons of Veterans since the organiza
tion of the association It is a matter
of history that the first steps toward
organizing the southern survivors of
the Civil war were taken in Chatta
nooga. The New Orleans meeting, at
which the organization was effected,
by the election of Gen. John B. Gor
don commander-in-chief, resulted, in
large measure, from agitation started
here by Capt. J. F. Shipp, and others,
for an association of Confederates.
The New Orleans meeting elected Gen.
John B. Gordon to head the organiza
tion and he called the first reunion of
the association for Chattanooga July
3, 4 and 5, 1890. Under all of the cir
cumstances the people of Chattanooga
feel that it is their duty to exert every
effort to make the coming reunion a
brilliant success. It is certainly their
pleasure to do so.
The date of the reunion is May 27-
29 inclusive. Only two months re
main in which the work of the organi
zation may be done, but it is well un
der way. The various * committees
have been appointed, and are at work
in their respective spheres. Informa
tion gathered from all sections of the
south indicates that fully 150,000 peo
ple will be here.
The passenger departments of all
the railroads having lines entering
Chattanooga, report that already
there is much interest in the coming
reunion. Inquiries are received every
day about rates, hotel accommodations
and the progress of the work incident
to the entertainment of the veterans
and the thousands of visitors that will
be here. The head of the passenger
department of one of the largest rail
way systems in the south, has served
notice on the people of Chattanooga
that a record breaking crowd may be
expected.
The Confederate veterans met here
in their first reunion in 1890, twenty
three years ago. Chattanooga at that
time was but poorly prepared to care
for the visitors. Hotel accommoda
tions were inferior, local transporta
tion facilities poor and the people were
suffering financially from a collapsed
boom. However, that reunion was
voted a success.
The Chattanooga of today was built
since 1890. It is now a city of 100,000
with the best of hotel accommodations
and first-class local transportation fa
cilities. It has twenty-six hotels, one
of them a modern, twelve-story build
ing costing a million dollars. The
boarding house accommodations are
all that are to be found in a modern
city of 100,000 population. The ho
tels, boarding houses and private
famiies will furnish entertainment
for 150,000 visitors. The restaurant
service is first class and adequate to
any demand.
The Confederate veterans will be
camped at Jackson park, a delightful
resort almost within the business dis
tricts of the city. This camp has been
named “Camp Stewart,” in honor of
the late Gen. A. P. Stewart, the much
beloved and noted southern chieftain,
who won fame on the greatest*battle
fields of the Civil war and spent his
declining years in Chattanooga as a
member of the Chickamauga National
Park commission. The motion to
name the camp for him was put by
Mayor T. C. Thompson, and was
unanimously adopted.
Chattanooga is putting great energy
into the preparation for the reunion,
and every indication is that it will be
one of the most delightful meetings
the veterans have ever enjoyed.
The environments of Chattanooga
are ideal for a reunion of the Confed
erate veterans. The battlefields are
the chief points of interest, of course,
but they are not all by any means.
Chattanooga is a modern city of 100,-
000 population, with a greater number
of manufacturing plants than any city
in the southern states, turning out
more than seven hundred different
products that go practically all over
the world. It has a number of sky
scrapers, and other modern buildings.
The climate is ideal. The mountain
scenery is not excelled in any other sec
tion of the south. Some years ago
Prince Henry, of Prussia, spent a day
In Chattapooga and made a trip to, the
top of historic Lookout mountain.
After viewing the panorama from that
eminence, he • exclaimed: “There is
nothing finer in all Europe.” Every
tourist who has travelled in European
countries passes the same eulogy on
these mountains. The Confederate
veterans, however, know what .they
are. Thousands of them fought over
this field, and it will be a pleasure to
them to revisit the scenes of the car
nage through which they passed in
1863. •
For the purpose of entertaining the
reunion on a broad scale, Chattanooga
is raising from $50,000 to $75,000.
This fund is practically in hand, and
the various committees are rapidly
closing up all contracts and rushing
the preparations to conclusion.
The Southeastern Passenger asso
ciation has granted a rate of one cent
a mile each way for the reunion—the
lowest rate that is ever allowed for
any causa.

THE THING THAT HAD
ONCE BEEN A MAN
(By Edna K. VVooiey.)
The other day my car was block
aded and for some fifteen minutes ii
stood before the entrance to a down
town alley. It wasn’t a clean-looking
alley and it divided two saloons.
Out of the side door of one saloon a
man’s form tumbled into the alley. It
tell to the ground and lay there in the
cold slush, motionless. Presently a
boy spied the man, Investigated, and
then notified a nearby policeman.
A few men, with a couple of police
men, quickly gathered about the pros
trate form. One of the officers left to
call the patrol wagon. The man
wasn’t dead—just dead drunk.
Some of the men and boys in the
group snickered as they turned away
to go about their business. One of
them contemptuously stirred tn«
“drunk” with his foot. A besotted fel
low emerged from the same side door,
stumbled over the form and cursed.
