Gen. Gordon commanded the right wing of Lees army and is in position, bet- ter than any living man, to tell of the incidents of those gloomy days for Southland. It was his division which was hurled with the fury of a cyclone upon the right flank of Gen. Meade's army at Gettysburg and won for the Confederate army the first day's fight.

The Gathering will Consider the Finan- cial Question.—There Will be 600 Delegates.—Chairman and sec- retary Instructed to Issue the Call. MR. MAFFITT’S EXPLANATION. St. Louis, Mo, July 15.—By a vote of 12 to 2, the democratic state central committee, in session to-day at the Southern hotel, decided to call a state silver convention. The convention will he held at Pertle Springs. The date fixed was Aug. 6, 1895. J. B. Thomas of the third, and A. C. Steuver of the tenth dis trict, were the only ones voting against the proposed conyention. Chairman Maffitt cast his own vote and two proxies which he held for a convention. Ou June 1 the commit- tee met and voted 10 to 5 against holding a convention to consider the financial question and this change| has been brought about by the friends of silver who have been agi- tating the question ever since. Ou the assembling of the commit- man read articles in certain newspa ' 600 delegates. The chairman and secretary were instructed to prepare and issue the official call. The com- mittee then adjourned. The Christian Endeavorers. The Christian Endeavor movement | originated at Portland, Me., in 1881, | and at the end of the first year a | Convention was held there with 200 | delegates. In the course of the sec- | ond year, the membership was doub- | led, and the next annual Convention, ;at the same place, was composed of | 400 delegates. There were 600 dele- | gates in the Convention of 1884 at | Lowell, and 800 in that of 1885 at | Ocean Park. At Saratoga in 1886, | there were 1200, and at the same place a year later 2000. In 1888 at Chicago were 5000; in 1889 at Phil adelphia there were 7000; in 1890 at \ at Minneaplis there were 14,000 in 1892 at New York there were 30,000; in 1893 at Montreal there were 20,- | 000; in 1894 at Cleveland there were 40,000; and this year at Boston there were 50,000, representing an aggre gate membership of over 2,500,000. any other kind of organizations. $50,000.00 BENNETT-WHEELER MER.

I met Mr. Farris at the Laciede hotel that afternoon and informed him that the chairman would not consider any communication he might have. I told Mr. Farris I would re convene , the committee at the request of a majority of the members. I explain- ed to him that I would require a majority because a majority of the committee had already voted against holding the convention. Further- more as a concession and in a spirit of fairness I said I would convene the committee as soon as a majority of the counties had been heard from. Ithen told Mr. Farris that on Saturday I would issue a circular to the chairmen of the county commit- tees to facilitate the work of secur- ing their desires on this point. I was taken sick, however, and was not able to issue the circular until | Tuesday. During that interval I; was uuder continual fire, even though it was known that I was sick. Then the work of filling out the cir- culars began and in a short time the chairman of the state committee re- | ceived replies from the chairmen of | a majority of the county committees | asking that the committee be re- convened. Without delay, and conceding sev- | eral points, the chairman immediate- | ly wired the secretary to re-convene , the committee. The chairman had not these replies in his possession an hour when he wired instructions to the secretary. This is why I call- ed the convention.” The vote was then taken on an) adjournment until 3 o'clock. Upon’ reconvening at 3 p. m., S. B. Cook moved that Tuesday, August 6, be fixed as the time for holding the convention. It was carried unani- mously and the committee then went into executive session.

Their success is largely due, no doubt, to this policy of put ting aside solemnity and showing that religion need not be divested of jall attractiveness in order to be | effective. They adapt their plans to actual conditions, and accomplish sound and wholesome results by practical means. instead of standing off at a distance and lamenting the wickedness of the werld, they march upon it with banners and music, and find enjoyment in the werk of thwarting its schemes and diminish- ing it’s opportunities. They are sol- diers of a gladsome sort, and fortune is on their side, beside they do not croak and groan. There is still another and more —— It is Known By Its Cures It is not what we say, but what i Hood's Sarsaparilla does, that tells the story of its merit.
