Mr. Lamar Williams, who was qualified to fl'.l even the place of a Gov ernor when .a speech was to be made. His friend, Mr. Sam G.

With these of varied gifts and with such good listeners ns Mr. Chris Wilder, Mr. James Gantt and others, Including the -writer, we were fixed for a good time—so pleasantly situated that before we were aware of ll bedtime a ad arrived. With varied experience of sleep through the night on account of some strong decoction which Brother Postell had brewed, we awoke the next morning clipping over the hills of Carolina with the evidence of progress on every hand In the build ing up of towns and factories on all aides until In some of these States, especially North Carolina. It Is said that she consumes more cotton than *he raises. The last part of our run Into Richmond was slow on account of the train having run over and killed a flagman—mysterious ‘because we met no train in the vicinity. About 5 o’clock g>. m. wo ran Into Richmond’ and walked to our lodging place at Mrs. Nightingale's.

After that I was early to bed. knowing if I hnd the start In getting to sleep first I was all right: they might then fight in out among themselves. The next morning was spent, at division headquarters, which was near our lodging place. Here we registered, looking out for friends while ? waiting the arrival of the reunion and he delegate badges. We met Mr. JLenvls Andrews, son of Mr. L. F. W. . .Andrews, editor of the old Georgia •Citizen, a citizen of Richmond; Capt. R. e. Park, State treasurer: Mr. Bugg, pn old member of the City Light Guards of Columbus, one of the four companies that composed the battalion. He was accompanied by his daughter and others. It was afternoon before the badges arrived nnd I lost the first morning of the convention. We went out to the unveiling of the statue to .1. E. B. Stuart in the afternoon. I could not get within hearing distance of the speaker. The crowd was large nnd the afternoon hot. After a long wait the ceremonies were completed amid much enthusiasm. The next Passing through the churchyard, we saw many old tombstones and evi dences that even marble -will give way to the elements in time. Taking a car. we were dropped at Chimborago Heights. and passing around the old hospital ground in the soil of which thousands of arms and legs were deposited. The whole plot is about sixty acres and is now a beautiful park. As we made the clr- •"iiit of :t -.‘.•e came to the heights that overlook the James river. Here the eye can take a sweep of many miles on the horizon line of fifty or seventy- five degrees. From here we passed into the Hollywood’cemetery. Not far from the entrance is the famous four sided pyramid of unhewn stone with out mortar, in memory of the 12.000 Confederate dead burled here. It is ninety feet high and about twenty-five feet on the base. We saw the tomb of President James Madison. The grave of Miss Winnie Davis is here, and many illustrious dead have their last resting place in this consecrated ground. While passing through this place one of those ridiculously ridicu lous things happened which went to Demonstrate that even a bishop could be knocked oft tits balance. It did not concern our party. We. or at least the most of us, were spectators. Ask the bishop about it privately. Two of the party here becoming broken down, we parted and the five of us took passage for the Soldiers’ Home. A long ride brought us here on the op posite side of the city. The buildings and park are extensive. There was a large lot of veteran artillery parked on the grounds and a fine musemum of antiques, war relics, etc., among them tlie horse of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, the skin stuffed and mounted, with the original battle saddle and bridle. We happened here -when the supper bell rang. There was some dissatisfaction among them, but I think from what I saw that they are in the mfiiri com fortable and well cared for. Our party broke up on the return car. wliere we separated to our home, and Mr. Mur ray given many thanks for his kind ness In chaperoning our party, under whose care we had spent so pleasant an afternoon. I found at the exposition a few days after a souvenir whicji I sent to him. and today, the 17th, I have received notice from him of its reception, with many thanks. Monday was the large day of the reunion on which was to be the un veiling of the statue to Jefferson Da vis. and the marching day. The march ing day is a great day with the veter ans. When the marching day Is left out of the program then the reunion stops sure. The number of veterans was large and when added to the local and visiting military it made a good- mornlng we were carlv out to the co\- sized army strung out for some d\- Tenlion. which is he’d In the building , tnnee.

We were among conclude the reunion exercises would be at the Auditorium, but that is an other building in the same quarter. Georgia bad the picked place in the convention hall, being directly at the speaker's stand, so that everything said ly the lines to me have fallen in pleas ant places, for I became'one of the family for nearly a week, and I am in debted to them for many other kind favors. Going out to the Exposition the first morning with the son, Orrie Jr. who has employment out there with the R. C. Strehlow & Co., a large con tracting firm, as its stenographer and paymaster. This firm had already fin ished the two main Government build ings, A and B—Fisheries and Museum —State Exhibit building. Mines and Metallurgy. Pure Food building, Marine exhibit. Palace of Commerce, Aero nautic. Power. Fuel and Alcohol and New Jersey State buildings, and, to their credit, finished them all up, and where the Government is concerned, they have gotten the exhibit installed, I usually arise in the morning at home time, and walk out into the city our location being. 212 Westover ave nue, in the new part of the city. On one of these mornings I went out to locate the old camp at the fair ground I found the place occupied by the Standard Oil Works' and the car barn of a city street railroad and the tracks of the Norfolk and Western Railroad running through it. At this place wg built quarters some time in the fail .and passing the winter here, doing guard duty in Norfolk. Some of the old trees are still standing on the road way to Sewell's Point, which roadway has been adopted as a street. The fare from the house to the Ex position by the short route is 10 cents which route we took the first morning. The other, by Ocean View, is 15 cents being longer. Both go to the principal entrance. On entering the gate Lee’s Parade is before you. a large plat of ground, sufficient to maneuver a brig ade. The stand for review or speetar tor or speaking on the further side facing you. the buildings disposed on either side and your front to the water. We pass on through to the first tier of buildings near the water, where we entered one of the Government build ings. where Mr. Orrie had his office. I passed on through to the exhibit, which proved to be the Military and Naval' exhibits. Tho first thing that struck me was the wealth of white and yellow bunting in festoons that hid the unsightly ceiling and brought beauty Out of it to the clusters of flags on the posL giving it a finishing touch. The .Government buildings were all so decorated. Among the model of guns I measured one which 1 found to be 50 feet -long: diameter at the butt, 48 inches; bore, 13 inches; cost, $53,000; weight of pro jectile. 1.100 pounds; smokeless pow der, 245 pounds: cost of each dis charge, $60; range at 17 degrees. 1% miles; muzzle capacity, 2,000 feet per- ond. This model -has a section cut through its entire length showing the grooves In rifling the bore and an ex act reproduction of one-half of the charge, all of wood, so well done that it would take an expert to tell it was not metal. In another Government building the postoftice department was always patronized. The collection of articles from the dead letter depart ment' was wonderful—anything from a pin to a hand spike. It was astonish ing to see how many cases it took to hold these articles. X was standing looking in one of these cases when I heard Macon. Ga.. called. I tprned and saw a man reading the following instruction: "Postoffiee Department, Washington, Dec. 28. 1901.—Hon. J. U Bristow, Fourt Assistant Postmaster-General: This reference covers some' locks and pieces of mail which were raked up out of the ashes of the postal car burned at Macon, Ga., on the 5th inst. It is probably the only use which can be made of the pieces is to place them in the department museum.” The mass had melted together and weighed about two pounds. The mov ing pictures in this department is a never-ending source of pleasure to vis itors of all sizes. In this building are the following departments: Agricul ture, Postoffiee, iBureau of Education. Weather Bureau. Bureau of Indian Af- I Picket having some hundreds of feet fairs. Department of Interior, Patent °I land which has gone into the Office. Treasury, Pension and Library (. water, all of which is verified ‘by what of Congress. Do not fail to give this 1 have ^een and what I know, building a careful inspection.

Exhibits were be- 1 enough ice tea. Here we parted, hav ing fast installed in the following in S spent a most pleasant and profita- would forbid me telling of all I saw. Suffice it to say, it impressed me ns a great exposition. The proximity of so fine a body of water as Hampton Roads, furnishing a place for naval dis play alone added additional interest to all former expositions. I had more sat isfaction in my visit to this than to either the Columbian or the -St. Louis, although this was in an unfinished condition. I spent some time in trying to locate our old camp on these grounds, but on account of the great changes in forty-six years I could not. Fina'.lv I went to the Virginia building to find some old resident who probably could assist me. Interviewing several, among them the Governor’s wife, I found a gentleman who referred me to Col. Sam Hodges and told me where I could find him. After some search. I found the colonel, who thought he could assist me. Recollecting a gen tleman who was connected with the sanitary department who was reared near here, and he was now on jhe ground, and kindly proffered to go with me to the office of Dr. Rupert Blue, of the United States Public and Marine Hospital Service, who was In command of this department, and Capt. Consolvo. the gentleman wo were hunting, was under him. After Col. Hodges stated the case to the doctor he kindly con sented to let me have the services of Capt. Consolvo and directed me to where he probably could be found. The doctor, on learning that I was a mem ber of the Second Georgia battalion, reached over on his desk and picked up a grape shot about one and a -half inches in diameter and said: “Here i something that will interest you. This was fired at you fellows from the Mon- ticello in that first attack on Sewell's Point forty-six years ago.” I have that shot in my possession. After walking up to the west of the ground I found Capt. Consolvo I suddenly thought 1 had no written order from the doctor, but remembering the shot, stated my case and produced the shot, which was more effective than a originally pre sented forty-six years ago. Capt. Con solvo proved to be a genial gentleman and a member of the Forty-first Vir ginia regiment, which camped near us and within a half mHe of whore we were standing. It being too late in the day. we appointed 9 a. -m. at the ml in entrance next, morning as the place of meeting. IVe were both .on time, when we took up the outside of the hedge inclosing the ground until we came to the wagon gate near the southwest corner of t-he ground and showed me about 200 yards south from the gate when our old ■ camp was it fac'111 west the blind ditches marking the roadway which passes in to the gate which led to the Doyle farm -house and the part of the other road which is cut off by a corner of the Exposition ground leading to IJomphrey House, where we mounted giferd. We after ward went some half a mile farther west and nearer the water to the re mains of the old earthwork?, where the battery was located which was engaged in the Merrimac-Monitor fight and in which a gun had burst, which providentially' did no damage. Returning to the corner of the Ex position grounds, we entered Pine Beach (an institution of the Cony Is land v-ort, with a reputation unsavory, according to the captain, and appear ances warranted the assertion). He pointed out the place where the Pom- phrey House stood, locating it by an old apple tree and some locust trees, it being now a part of Pine Beach, which place is occupied by the ground on 'this southwest corner outside of the Ex position grounds and facing the water. From this Pomphrey place I bad got ten cuttings of a fig tree which I had sent home, which were growing up to a few years ago in several places, when an unusually severe winter killed them out. Continuing our way around the outside of the grounds and on the beach to Commercial pier, the captain pointed out about where the battery commanded by Capt. Colquitt,headed off the gunboat Monticello on May 19th. The place is nearly 100 yards into the water, the continual beating of the waves making inroads to the land after the lapse of so many year?. Being al ready inside, we came to the front of the Inside Inn. and at its west end the captain pointed out an old tree which on the dividing line between tbe Doyle and Pomphrey places and in front around this on the beach is where the Second Georgia battalion stood nations were irregular. The close was steady, net unchanged to 2 points lower, the market having lost an early gain dur ing the late trading. Sales were esti mated at 300,000 bales. The opening was firm at an advance of "all points and shortly afterward the active months showed a net eain of about llal2 points on higher cables than ex pected. reoorts of a very high temperature in the Southwest and bullish private con dition reports.

The Saturday bank statement was a clear exhibit of the narrow margin to which the available resources of the banks have fallen. The redemption of the ma tured 4 per cents was due today, but the effect was not felt in the money market. The news of a failure of a banking house In Baltimore, although not deemed im portant. was not a help to stocks. The renewed strength in commodity nrices cave some point to reports of cron damage.

Louis Warren, pastor of tho Tabernacle Baptist Church, of Chi cago. who is at present in the city visiting his parents, while sitting on was the I the veranda of his father’s home Sun day night enjoying the evening with his pipe and an old friend, was inter rupted while in the midst of his talk by a young couple who desired to bo united in the holy bonds of matri mony. Accordingly the pipes were laid aside and the young minister and his friends put on their coats and proceeded with the ceremony. After the knot had been safely tied, Mr. Warren stated to the happy young couple who cast a glamor of light around them, “it is a custom in the West and East where I have been working for the minister to sa lute the bride with a kiss. Now I do not know whether it is a custom here or not, but if it does not break any ostablished vogue of you people. I would like to inaugurate the custom here and now." The groom, who was In love with all I the world, being taken off his guard by 1 the mock seriousness of the young ' minister, said: “Well, I feel so thank ful for whnt you have done for us that I am not going to raise any ob jections." The laugh was then on the minis ter. but he got out of it by saying: “I shall not insist on this, as tho blush ing bride might not take so kindly tn the custom,” and thus it was turned off. CHICAGO.
