SHOW FRATERNAL SPIRIT Tells Naticnal Encampment of the Cordial Reception Tendered Him During His Recent Visits to South- ern Departments and Describes the Wonderful Growth and Development of That Section Since the War. Atlantic City, N. J.,, Sept. 23.—With a fine tribute to the soldiers of the Confederacy Commander-in-Chief Sam- uel R. Van Sant, former governor of Minnesota, formally opened the busi- ness session of the national encamp- ment of the Grand Army of the Re- public. The commander spoke ear- nestly as he expressed his gratifica- tion at the increasing fraternization of the “blue” and the “gray.” When he said that no braver troops were ever marshaled for conflict than the Southern soldiers and that the Union veterans now realize that no men ever made greater sacrifices for what they believed to be right than their former foes the commander was | applauded. At the beginning of the present | year, Commander-in-Chief Van Sant said, the Grand Army had 213,901 members in good standing, as com- pared with 220,600 at the beginning of 1909. The loss during the year was 6,781, of which 5,323 was by death. He urged further effort to obtain a more general observance of Memorial day, which, he said, should be de- voted solely to the purposes for which it was created. The work of all the army’s auxiliaries was commended and of the Sons of Veterans he said: “This can be made a still grander organization. It is constantly increas- ing in numbers and influence. The Sons of Veterans, with proper encour- agement, should soon be the largest patriotic body of men in the world.” Praises the Southern Soldiers. Commander Van Sant expressed himself as particularly gratified at the increasing fraternization of the “blue and the gray” and spoke of' the cordial reception extended him during his recent visits to the Southern de- partments., Said he: “Comrades, we were the victors and we can afford to be magnanimous to our old foes. It is easy for the victor to forgive, but when the vanquished absolves himself from all bitterness he has truly gained the most cher- ished trait of a noble character. We won—they lost. We returned to our homes with the shouts of victory ringing in our ears—our cause tri- umphant. “They were defeated, their cause lost and they returned to homes de- | stroyed, barns empty, money worth- less. slaves free and ruin all about them. Any but a brave people would have yielded to these adverse condi- tions—not so with them. “Bravely as they fought during the war they then fought the battles of life and the splendid growth and de- velopment of the South since the close of the war is the South’s grand- est and most enduring monument. “United as we now are our country is destined to make a new era of progress. We have by our united ef- forts advanced to the highest pinnacle of fame and became a mighty world power, with our influence everywhere potential Who does not rejoice that our Unicn is one and indivisible and will remain so forever?” OPTIONISTS CLAIM MAJORITY Say They Will Control Legislature. St. Paul, Sept. 23.—County option- ists are claiming a sweeping victory. At the anti-saloon headquarters it was said that the “drys” will have a ma- Minnesota jority in each branch of the legisla- | ture next year. They claim at least thirty-two senators and sixty-one rep- resentatives. Their maximum claim goes as high as thirty-eight senators and sixty-seven representatives. “We are absolutely sure,” said C. W. Start, “that we will be able to control each branch of the next legislature. A careful canvass of the returns has been made and we are sure of a work- ing majority.” ¥. W. Zollman, attorney for the Minnesota Brewers’ association, de- nies the claims of the county option- ists and says that the brewers will have enough men in the legislature to head off any county option bill that may be proposed. Bride Sixty Years Younger. New York, Sept. 23.—John S. Lyle of Tenafly, N. J.,, many times a mil- lionaire and close to his ninety-third birthday, was married to Miss Julia G.

Fanny, the sister of Charles Dickens, was one ot the first students entered | at the old Royal Academy of Music | when it opened its doors at Tenterden | street in 1823, and at that time the students lived at the academy, only going home for the week end. *“Every Sunday,” Dickens told Forster, *“I was | at the academy at 9 o'clock in the | morning to fetch her (Fanny), and we walked back there together at night.” } And the Sunday itselt the two spent— in the Marshalsea prison, where their | father and mother then resided. owing to Mr. Dickens having “failed to pro- pitiate his creditors.” While her fa- ther was still in prison Fanny won a prize at the academy. and the future | novelist, then engaged in pasting la- bels on blacking pots at 7 shillings 2 | week, was present to see her receive it.—Westminster Gazette. Losing His Senses. A mischievous boy, having got pos- session of his grandfather's spectacles, ‘ privately took out the glasses. ‘When the old gentleman put them on, tinding he could pot see, be exclaimed: *Mercy on me! I've lost my sight!" But. think- | ing the impediment to vision might be the dirtiness of the glasses, he took them off to wipe them. when, not feel- ing them, bhe, still more frightened, cried out: “Why. what's come now? I've lost my feeling too!”—Loundoun Jenny Lind and the Trill. wJenny, Lina after years of steady practice believed that the much covet- ed trill was for her an impossibility, She practiced hours u day. but was unable to accomplish rhe feat.
