The Savannah Union 'Station Company • to be thf name of the new company rhich is to build and control Savannah j? tew union depot. It is to be a railway jompany. with a charter issued by the Bectoetary of the State in accordance with file terms of the net regulating such char ters, and it is to have a capital stock of 800,000. Notice of the intention to apply for n iharter Appears in the Morning News to lay, and in accordance with the terms ef the law, it will have to be published Mice a week for four weeks. When this las been done, application will be made © the Secretary of the State for a charter Ipon the granting of which steps will be mmediately taken for the construction of Ihe dej>ot. The advertisement which appears In the Vlomirg News is the result of a confer nce between the attorneys of the three railway corporations interested in the de tot. The attorneys present were Messrs. IV. W. Mackall and J. R. Anderson, rep resenting the Seaboard, W. S. Chisholm ind W. L. C lay. representing the Plant System, and Mr. Fairfax Harrison of (Yaehingcon, representing the Southern. The association of the three eorpora flons mentioned for Ihe purpose of bulbi ng a union depot, was agreed upon long since, but there were some legal formal ities to be attended to. and details to be arranged. These matters were disposed &f by the conference and Messrs. Mackall ind Anderson were instructed to go ahead fcith the advertisement. The petitioners for incorporation are Messrs. Cecil Gabbett, W. W. Mackall. I Randolph Anderson, W. B. Chisholm, William L. Clay, \V. B. Denham. J. Moultrie Lee, W. V. Davis. C. L. Heller nd T. '9. Tutwiier. all of Savannah, and :heir petition states that they *k*sire to form a railroad corporation, pursuant to :he provisions of the act of the general issembly of Georgia, approved Dec. 20, .892. and the amendments thereof. The petition states that the railroad will De located entirely within the limits of Chatham county, and that Its length, as nearly as can be estimated, will be about fright miles, consisting of two branches, which will run from the vjnion station, to be built and operated by the company in the western portion of Savannah, one branch running In a westerly direction for a distance of some three or four miles to n connection with the crossing or present junction of the point of the Georgia and Alabama. Florida Central and Peninsular. Central of Georgia and Charleston and Savannah Railways, and the other running in a general somberly Bnd southeasterly direction for a distance Df about four miles to a connection with Ihe tracks of the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway at or near Southover Junction. The principal office of the corporation Is to be in Savannah. Incorporation is desired for a term of 100 years. The pe tition states that the petitioners “do In tend in good faith, to go forward, with out delay, to secure subscriptions to the capital stock, construct, equip, maintain and operate said railroad.” As It will require a month in which to advertise the petition afier which applica tion must be made to the Secretary of State, It will require some five or six wefks to comply with all the formalities required by law before the charter can be obra’ned. This is only a matter of time, however, and as an earnest of the in tentions of the incorporators to lose no time than is n it is stated that the rails for the eight miles of track mentioned in the petition have already been ordered and will probably be op hand by the time the charter is granted. “Just as soon as the charter has been granted we will go right ahead with the vrork. There will boas litt e de ay as pos sible.” said Mr. J. Randolph And. rson yesterday. The new union depot is another one of the things coming to Savannah since the Bf-aboard consolidation, and for which it Is largely indebted to the tact, judgment and business ability of Mr. W. W. Mack a 1 and his desire to advance the interests of the city. AFTER HOSPITAL BHLODGS. ,1 Vn r Department Mould Not Give Them Ip to Marine Hospital Ser vice. Mr. C. Lester Little is in Washington negot ating with the quart rmaster's de partment in behalf of the Isaac Jos ph Iron Company for the acceptance of its bid for the government hospital buildings here. Mayor Myers has notified Quarter master General Ludinglon that the city wiil be unable to do anything in the mat ter. and It is probable that the bid of the Jos ph Company will be accepted. The quartermaster's department might have washed its hands of the government buildings some months ago had it been Inclined. The treasury department un dertook to s cure possession of the build ings for the Marine Hospital Service, and thought it hsd accomplish and this object. This was evidenced by the appointment ©f Dr. W. F. Brunner. Savannah's health officer, as custodian of ihe buildings. The .war departm nt, however, declined to sur render possession of the buildings with out adequate compensation and the treas ury department was unwilling to go to any expense to secure ihe buildings. It was Dr. Brunner’s Intention, had the buildings been delivered over to the •treasury department, to r tain a part here for the use of the Marine Hospital Ser vice and to remove ? lhe others to Camp Perry for use at the government quaran tine station there. He was blocked in this effort, however, by the refusal of the war department to surrender the buildings. KNEW NOT LIFE’S SORROWS. Little Son of Dr. and Mr*. l>nnlrl Died After n Brief Illness.

John Bulcken, clerk at the Cotton Ex ! change, was arrested night before last j on a warrant sworn out in the court of Magistrate Kline, charging him with em bezzlement to the amount of SSOO. The money appropriated belonged to Concord Lodge of Odd Fellow’s, of which Bulckcn was both secretary and a trustee. Be sides this amount, there Is said to be still another sum of over S7)O. which he secured from the lodge, giving his due bill as a voucher. It has been known to the. officers of the lodge since the early part of the month that the books showed a shortage, for which the secretary was responsible, but it was not until the Auditing Com mittee had gone over the accounts care fully that the size of the sum appropri ated began to appear. The difficulty of the work of getting a true statement of the condition of the finances of the lodge was furrher enhanced by the very bad shape in which the books were found, so that, although tho members of the com mittee had been at work on them for about three weeks, it was not until Thursday night that they finally got the matter straightened out. Then when they found out the amount of the defalcation a warrant was taken oue and Bulcken was arrested. Although he knew that the investiga tion was being made, and that his short age was sure to be found out, Bulcken made no effort to escape from the dis grace that he knew* aw’nited him. Tt is said that the money appropriated was lost in playing the cotton market and the horse races. I< is said, also, that the sums taken from the Odd Fellows Is nor the only money that has been lost In this way, but that amounts secured from other sources have likewise been spent. Bulcken has been for twelve years a clerk in the Cotton Exchange, where he has an excellent record for faithfulness and efficiency. The news of his difficul ties. when made known to the members of the Exchange yesterday, excited only smypathy and the wish mat he would he able to arrange matters without the ne cessity of the case being taken in to the cou rt ?. The prisoner was in charge of an offi cer of Magistrate Kline’s court from the time of his arrest until 6 o’clock yester day, up to which time he had failed to secure bond. nrnir.n from christ church. Fan oral of tlie Late Gnzaxvay Hartridge This Afternoon. The funeral of tho late Gazaway Hart ridge will toke place from Christ Church at 5 o’clock this afternoon. The remains will reach the city over the Plant System at 9 o’clock this morning end will be taken from the station to the residence of Mr. Walter C. Hart ridge, on Jones street, east, until removed to the church. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Robb White. The body of Mr. Hartridge will be. laid to rest next to that of his wife, in the family lot in Laurel Grove Cemetery. The pallbearers will be Messrs. W. G. Charlton, P. A. Stovall. M. A. O’Byrne. A. H. MacDonell, Frank Wel don, I. D. La Roche, Thomas Sc reven and Albert Wylly. Renewed expressions of sympathy and condolence, were received yesterday by the relatives of Mr. Hartridge living in Savannah. Almost his last act was de voted to an effort to save his relatives the grief of knowing that he was ill in New York, away from their care and attend- Although he. has been ill for some time, he constantly insisted that no one here should he advised of the fact, and almost the first Indication his relatives had of the danger that impended was a tele gram announcing his death. HEARTLAND TEACHERS HERE. Will Leave for Baltimore ly Steam er Tlilm Afternoon. A delegation of forty-six Maryland school teachers, headed by Prof. McCann, assistant superintendent of public edu cation of Baltimore, arrived in the city last night from Charleston where they have been attending the sessions of the National Educational Association. The Maryland delegates report that though the attendance upon the conven tion was much IkLw the average. Charleston’s facilities were badly taxed to accommodate them. The Marylanders were quartered at the hotel at Isle of Palms, wht re they were badly crowded and where the service was not at all what thy would have liked. The. surf bathing was fine, however. The Maryland delegation will take in the city to-day in a leisurely Maryland way, and at 4 o’clock this afternoon they will take ihe steamship Itasca for Balti more. They came down by steamer and thty propose to go back that way. Living on the /oast they understand the advant age of steamer travel over rail during the heated term. Other parties from th a convention ar? expected in to-day, and it is likely that there will be quite a crowd of teachers here to-morrow. Messrs. John M. and William C. Dulany of the Dulany Publishing Company of Bal timore are with the Maryland delegation. COURT OFFICERS HAVE GONE. Most of tlie A**nriat2on Hare Left for Interior Home*.

TfTE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1900. NEGROES’ DIG FCR TREASURE. HUNDREDS EXCITED BY DREAMS OF It I RIED GOLD. # They Go in Parties of Three TVltli Shovel* and Sounding Rod*—Police Came on Another Party nt Work in n Lot In the Southwestern Parf of the lt> This Morning lhe Leader’* Story of an Old Woman’s Appearance in a Dream Telling Him of Hidden Trensnre. A large part of Savannah’s colored pop ulation he become seemingly deeply im j pressed with ihe idea that there is hid | den wealth in this vicinity, and for the last three nights parties have been out with spades, shovels and sounding reds I searching for the treasure. In yesterday’s j Morning News was an account of one par | ty that went looking for a cache tiome j where on the Thunderbolt road and their arrest by Patrolman T. C. Murphy be cause of their peculiar actions and refused to explain their business. Last night, or this morning, another party of three was turning up the soil in a vacant lot on Cuyler street, near New Houston. This party, like that of ihe previous night, also consisted of three, a mystic number that is supposed to have a peculiar potency in searches of this kind. The outfit for doing the work was com plete and consisted of a spade, a shovel for the digging, and a magnetic needle and a sounding rod for ascertaining where, to dig. The faith that “these persons had in the probabilities of success is instanced by the fact that the magnetic needle alone of the outfit is worth S3O. The leader of the party last night ex plained how the search was started. Some nights ago, while asleep, an old and wizened woman appeared to him and told him of the buried money, stating that she herself had placed it in its hiding place, and that she wanted him to have It. In order that ho might secure posses sion of it she gave him most explicit di rections which were so clearly engraved on his memory that upon akawening he was enabled to draw a map of the local ity described and afterward to identify the plot of ground at New' Houston and Cuyler streets. He has the more faith, he said, in he revelation because once before he had had a similar vision, and upon following out the directions then given him. he hid found SBOO, which is now Invested in a house and lot. The unusual hours at which the search is carried on, he said, is not, as might naturally be supposed by the uninitiated, on account of any desire of secrecy, but because it is one of tho conditions of a successful hunt that no work shall he commenced before midnight; neither must j it be continued until daylight. Another i peculiarity of the search for this Nibe lungen-like gold is that if the hunters speak while at work, the quest will be unsuccessful, for that night, at least. This accounts probably for the reticence of the negroes that were arrested the night before, as they had to be locked up for eeveral hours before they would consent to explain their business. PLENTY OF FRUIT IN MARKET. Cantaloupe*, Pearlies and Water melon* nt Almost Any Price. The rains that have prevailed In. this vicinity for the last several days have to some extent damaged the fruit, but not to such an extent as appreciably to affect the. market supply. Among the fruits the greatest damage has been done to watermelons, cantaloupes ‘ and peaches. The rain, where the ground has become so soaked as to refuse to absorb more water, not only destroys the sweetness of the melon that is ripe or nearly so. but also rots the melon that is allowed to remain in it for any length of time. The locally grown peaches are also affected somewhat by the wet weath er that has recently prevailed and have, through the over-absorption of water, be come less sweet than they should be, and usually are. The supply of all fruits and vegetables nevertheless, is plentiful and prices are remarkably low considering the quality. Excellent large cantaloupes, “Baltimore Firsts,” sell as low’ as 25 cents a dozen, while the smaller varieties, such as “Rocky Fords,” and others, sell as low as 10 and 15 cents. Watermelons of the very best size and quality, averaging between fifteen and eighteen pounds, sell for 20 cents, while others of the same size, though not of fancy varieties sell at 12% cents. From this price they range downward as low as 5 cents. Both the watermelon and the cantaloupe seasons are now’ at their bight and from the outlook they will last much logger than usual. One of the lo cal growers expects his supply of canta loupes to last for at least six weeks yet, and of watermelons, probably as long. Teaches are almost a drug on the mar ket. The very best size and qualßy are selling at 5 cents a quart, and even then a reduction is often made when bought in quantities. Figs and grapes are both in the mar ket. but not as yet in any quantity. The grapes are quite cheap, but the figs are rather high-priced yet for the average buyer. The outlook for pears, which usually appear in the market during August, Is nc4 good, as the blight that has affected the local crop for the last few years has again appeared, and will not only affect the quality of the fruit, but also the quantity of the crop. SOUTHERN RACING ( IIU 1 IT. Haring: A**ociation Orgnnizeil Ycm terday at Wnyeros*. The Southern Interstate Racing Associa tion was organized yesterday nt Waycross. Savannah horsemeq will be interested in the movement in connection with the ef fort to revive the Savannah Jockey Club and to secure winter race meetings here. The Waycross Association may aid in ♦he reorganization of tho club. The offi cers of the Waycross association are W. M. Toomcr, president, and W. W. Sharpe, secretary. At the organization meeting Valdosta, Waycross, Brunswick and At lanta were represented. Savananh and Jacksonville are expected to become mem bers. The association has $16,500 In purses so fair in Bight. It Is proposed to open the circuit Oci. 22 at Atlanta, closing Dec. 2 at Brunswick. Dates* to be tfjled are from Nov. 30 to Nov. 27. with four days racing each at Savannah and Jacksonville, leaving nine days for shifts and rests. The reorganization of the Savannah Jockey Club may now be pushed. The matter is in the hands of a subcommittee of the General Committee appointed at the De Soto meeting in May. Gen. Gor don is chairman of the General Commit tee and his illness has delayed the com mit tee in perfecting its plans. The mat ter will probably be taken up at once and an effort made to Include Savannah in the proposed racing circuit. Pimple* nml Freckle* on Face.

Patterson-, a white man. was tried before Judge Norwood in the City Court yesterday on a charge of cheating and swindling. Patterson was prosecuted at the instance of Rimes Bros. & Cos., a firm of local merchants who charged him with obtaining groceries on credit from them, by means of false representations as to the wealth and mercantile rating of his wife, for whom he claimed to act. It was alleged 1n the information filed in the case of Patterson that he had by art fuie means and deceitful practices obtain ed from the prosecutors goods of the value of $24. knowing that his representations were false and with the Intent to defraud. The defendant was prosecuted by Judge H. D. D. Twiggs and defended by Mr. W. P. La Roc he. The case consumed nearly or quite two hours in its trial, witnesses being exam ined at length, both *is to what represen tations had actually been made by Pat terson and as to the truth of these repre sentations and the intent with which they had been made. Judge Twiggs did not succeed in convincing the court that Patterson was guilty of the offense charged and Judge Norwood pronounced the defendant not guilty and directed Ins discharge. Nellie Wright, or “Scotch Nell,” as she is known in police and criminal court cir cles, w.as before Judge Norwood on a charge of vagrancy. The woman Is an unfonunate of the unfortunates, whose insatiable craving for mean whisky keeps her fully half the time behind The evidence of her character and lack of all visible means of support was clear, and Judge Norwood directed that she be sent to the county farm and there kept at light labor for the term of twelve months. John Harris was convicted of selling pol icy lottery tickets, a charge that he stren uously denied, imputing it to the ill will of the prosecutor, and was sentenced to pay a fine of SIOO and costs or serve twelve months on the county chain gang. He’.le Butler was found guilty or the lar ceny of vaiious articles, of the aggregate value of $22. from the house of Ida Sharp. Ju Ige Norwood sent her to the gang for a year. <’barley West was given a term of twelve months on the gang for stealing a bicycle from Mr. C. S. Byck. John Fields, found guilty of the larceny of a watch from Daniel Small, received a like sentence, while Charley Washington, sr.own by the evidence against him to a confirmed vagrant, was provided w r ith a visible means of support and st. ady oe cupa’ion, for twelve months, on the chain gang. INJURY TO THE SIDEWALKS. Driver* of Vehicles Punished for Driving Aero** Them. The property owners in the southern section of the city have experienced much annoyance from the practice indulged in by drivers of heavy vehicles of driving over the sidewalks the city has recently require! the owners of property to place in position. In the southern section there are many vacant lots and the drivers have found it more expeditious and convenient to go across these, rather than around by way of the streets. With a heavy load this practice has resulted in considerable in jury to the sidewalks and resulting ex pense for repairs to ihe property ow’ners. The offense was so often and so flagrantly repeated that the property owners deter mined to put a stop to it. and to this end enlisted the 00-operaion and assist ance of the superintendent of police and the Recorder. There have been several arrests made for this violation of the city ordinances and the offenders have been fined or oth erwise punished upon being arraigned in the Police Court before Recorder Hart ridge. The policy of arresting the offend ers will be continued, and it is hoped that the objectionable practice will soon en tirely abandoned. The property owners also object $o the habit pursued by some of the'r neighbors of driving cows over the sidewalks. This is also prohiwted by ordinance and the property owners say that they will place the owners of ihe cattle upon the infor mation docket unlfss a change of itinera ry from pasture to stable is Inaugurated CREDITORS RECEIVE HALF. Shoe nml Dry Good* Company Set tled for Fifty Per Cent. The composition of 60 cents on the dol lar offered the creditors of the Savannah Shoe and Dry Good Company by the cor poration has been approved by Judge Speer, the orders filed here and the dis tribution of the money, on the proposed basis, begun. By the order of the court approving the composition, the title to the effects of the bankrupt the hanfis of the trustee, re vesis in it, and the proceedings in bank ruptcy are dismissed. The books and other property of the corporation now in the hands of Receiver Haines will revert ♦ o the Savannah Shoe and Dry Goods Company by force of the order of Judge Speer approving the composition and di recting the manner of the distribution of the fund. Mr. Emile Newman, w’ho has represent ed the company in its litigation with Its creditors, feels a sense of relief now that it has been ended. It is doubtless true that the acceptance of the offered com position works for the benefit of both the company and its creditors. UNTIL /GO LFI ACS* II ETC RN. The Weekly Handicap Tournament* Have Been Suspended. There will be no handicap tournament at the links of the Savannah Golf Club this afternoon, nor again during the sum mer. until a sufficient number of golfers return to the city to permit entries suffi cient to make the contests more than mildly interesting. So many of the golfers have sought the “fair greens” of other golfing centers that the Savannah links are comparative ly deserted, and the club does not feel itself warranted in offering the handsome* medal that is contested for on each of these occasions, when the entries are bo few. It has been decided, therefore, to postpone other tournaments In the series until later in the season, when, It 1s be lieved. there will be a larger number of the club's members In the city, a larger number of entries, and hence, larger amount of Interest and excitement.

The Friction Which Hu So Fre quently Mnnifented Itself During the I-mml Three or Four Year. Hn. at I.a.t Resulted in the Division of the profession Into Two IMs tlnet Soeleties —The Trouble Hc ean With the St. James Dispensary and Has Been Continuous Since. Rule a. to Consultation May Have to Be Changed. The Georgia Medical Society and the Savannah Medical Society, ore now two entirely separate and distinct institutions. Theoretically they have been so all the time, but as a matter of fact the mem bers of the Savannah Medical Society were all members of the Georgia Medical So ciety, and abided by Its rules so that, prac tically, there was only one medical so ciety. Such is no longer the case. The mem. hers of the Savannah Medical Society have all resigned from the Georgia Med ical Society, and their resignations have been accepted. The two societies ure now distinct and separate and, it must be con fessed, with not the most friendly feelings in the world toward each other. The sep aration came as a result of the bickering which has been going on in the ranks of the doctors for the last several years, beginning with the establishment of the St. James' Dispensary and the St. Japies' Clinical Society, three or four years ago. The members of the latter society felt that they were not getting the clinical advantages enjoyed by the physicians as. soeiated witli the hospitals, and sought in this manner to obtain such advantages, while at the same time conferring inci dental benefits upon the poorer portion of the population. The St. James Dispensary had a check er, and career from the start. The public did not appreciate the advantages offered and the hospital doctors ridiculed it, and as serted that its professions of benevolence were entirely overshadowed by the aims of its members for clinical practice. Some of the most en*husiastic members of the dispensary and the Clinical Society fell away and were received with opn arms by tho hospital people, accomplish ng their object, as they claimed, of securing posi tion on the hospital staffs The St. James Dispensary was aban doned, but the spirit of dissension re mained. The bitt-rness engendered by the movement only smoldered for a little while to break out again with increased heat. There were some heated sessions of the Georgia Medical Society, one or two of which were reported in the Morning News almost in detail, very much to the surprise of the physicians. The Savannah Medical Society' was organized and these who had remained true to the St. James Dispensary, with others of the younger physicians, became members. There was constant friction between the opposing factions with occasional charge of unpro fessional conduct. The fight before the City Council several months ago to have that body demand the privilege, a s a large contributor to the support of the hospitals for the purpose of securing admission or appointment to the hospital staffs of some of the physicians who had been unable to secure this privi lege, increased the bitterness between the opposing factions. The fight degenerated into personalities which were freely aired before Council and in the newspapers. The hospital managements sided 1 with the “ins” and although the Council seem ed favorably disposed to the “outs,” the fight accomplished nothing. It was pro posed to cut off the hospital appropria (ions unless Council was granted the right to name physicians on the hospital staffs, but this step was not taken and a partial oompromie was arranged between Council and the hospitals by which the appropria tions were continued for six months and the Mayor and the health officer were made members of the hospital hoards. The fight was switched for a time to Council and the hospitals, but the Court cilmen, who were very hot at one time in behalf of the younger physicians, seem to have lost interest in the matter, and the question was practically dropped there some time ago. In the meantime the fight in the ranks of the physicians kept up, and there tvas con siderable unpleasantness at some of the meetings of the Georgia Medical Society, charges being made against members of the Savannah Medical Society of unpro fessional conduct, which were hotly de bated and afterwards tabled. The fact that these charges were simply tabled and not withdrawn, and that the parties, who brought them were not required to substantiate their statements, seems to have been the straw' which broke the camel’s back, and finally resulted in the total separation. Contrary to expectation the divorce was accomplished very quietly and w ith no sen sational features. The resignation of the members of the Savannah Medical Society were simply accepted without discussion et the last meeting of the Georgia Society. The results whidh are likely to follow such a separation and the existence of two rival medical societies have been quietly can vassed among the physicians, hut they have been little disposed to discuss the matter with newspapers. Members of the Savannah Medical Society, when asked about the mntter, have simply said that in the majority of the, cities of the coun try there is more than one medical so ciety, the large cities having quite a num ber, and that there is no reason why the same state of affairs should not exist here. They find the methods pursued in their own society and its associations more to their liking than those of the older so ciety, they say, and as they have failed to receive the advantages which they had a right to expect from membership in the older society they saw no reason why they should continue their membership there. The one poini which remains 10 be set tled and the only one in which the public generally is likely to be interested from a medical standpoint is that of consultation. The Georgia Medical Society has a rule that no member of the society can consult with any physician who is not a member of the society, who has been in the city longer than six months, if this rule re mains It would aftply against the mem bers of the Savannih Medical Society, all of whom have been residents of the city longer than six months and who are no longer members of the Georgia Society. With the bitterness which exists between the members of the opposing societies It is not likely that consultations be tween them will be frequent. At the same time It is not unlikely that eases will occur where a patient, or the members of his family, will desire the attending physician to call In another phy sician who dues not happen 10 be a mem ber of the same society. It will be rather awkward for the attending physician to declare that he canrot consult with the physician desired because he does not happen to boa member of the same so ciety. This contingency has been iaken un der consideiation, however, and It is like ly I hat the rule will be changed. In point of numbers the Georgia Med ical Society has considerably the advant age of Its young, r rival. The Georgia has a membership of 50 or 60. while the Sa vannah has a smaller membership, all of Hum younger men of the profession. Dr. St. J. B. Graham is president of the Sa varmnh Society and Dr. T.

Commander-in-Chief Hindman pays a high tribute to the valor and devotion of the Confederate soldier in war and to his energy and determination and brave fac ing of changed and new conditions in peace. He alludes with pride to the gal lant response of the old heroes of the South and their Sons to the nation's call to arms, sounded at the outbreak of the Spanish-Amerkbn war, as demonstrating to the fullest extent that the Stars and Stripes have no more devoted defenders than those who once fought against the flag and their descendants. Continuing, he says: What supported these men, I ask you, under Ihe great burdens laid upon them? I can hear you answer as it comes swift ly on: "The consciousness of having done their duty." Are we their sons? And shall we not do our duty to their names by rearing monuments in their memories, and establishing in history the plain truth of their proud achievements and imper ishable renown? Is it not our obligation and our duty to erecA a suitable memorial to the immortal women of the South, to aid in maintaing and establish soldiers? homes, and to urge all reasonable legis lation in the Southern states for these ends and for granting pensions to needy and disabled veterans of the brave arms' so fast fading away? I speak for you, my comrades, when I say to the o'd heroes: "We could not escape these re sponsibilities if we would. We would no* escape them if we could. You knew how to meet cold steel and leaden hail, and you knew how to die. In every station where you have been placed you have sustained yourselves with conspicuous honor. You have endowed us with the proud heritage of your soldier names, and the debt which we owe you is so full of tenderness and iove that we shall en deavor to pay it over and over again. You have nobly done your part, and are en titled to call on the Corporal of the Guard for relief. We will grasp you by the hands and take you to our hearts.” At first the South was naturally bitter against the Union, and this bitterness seemed to increase as the years passed on, until finally it reached its highest point and then began to soften. Gradual ly the friendly hand of the victor was grasped, the great soul of the martyred Lincoln was understood, and the chival rous action of the North’s great com mander was appreciated for his brave stand with the government in facor of our leaders and for bis magnanimous conditions in dealing with the knightly Lee. The reconciliation is now complete. The old heroes now often hold reunions together, and together they bank with flowers the graves of their dead. “Under the roses the blue, Under the lilies the gray." Commander-in-Chief Hindman has as sumed charge of the United Sons of Con federate Veterans with spirit and energy. Under his administration it is to be hoped thet the progress already made will be continued, and that many monuments to the valor of the Confederate soldier and the loyal devotion of Southern woman wiil be raised by the efforts of their sons. 7 MINUTE CARS TILL 11 O’CLOCK.
