The occasion for this patriotic display is the meeting of the national en- campment of the Sons of Veterans of the United States. The encampment begins to- day and lasts until Thursday. Fully 20,000 of the old veterans, their sons and visitors from every state in the Union are expected to flood the city. The meeting has been designated as the battlefield encampment, from the fact that there were more battles fought upon Tennessee so:] than any other state in the Union, and again from the fact that Knokville and east Tennessee was a disputed territory from the very start to the finish of the laie civil war. It is a region of furthermore interest from the fact that east Tennessee was the fun- nel through which all the confederate troops were transported fro! the south into the Virginias and the east, and also from the fact that Knoxville was a place of con- tention between the two great armies, be- ing captured and recaptured by the federals and -confederates al‘ke. It was upon thi soll where the Sons of Veterans are zo:ng to camp that the charge of Fort Sanders was made. This was one of the bloodiest battles of the war. Where Gen. Sanders Fell. Gen. Wm. P. Sanders, for whom the local camp Sons of Veterans is named, was mortally wounded while on duty one and a half miles west of Knoxville, on the afterrioon of November 18, 1863. The spot where he fell is marked by a tall cedar, which stands on a prominent eminence north of the Kingston pike, and near the residence of Chancellor Lindsay. From the field Gen, Sdnders was borne ‘o the Lamar House, now the White House, where he died the next day. His remains were ri moved to the headquarters of Gen. Burn- side in the Central House, and that night were buried in the Second Presbyterian Church yard. “The services were of the simplest yet most pathetic nature, and the body of the Christian soldier was laid to rest without any of the usual pomp accompanying the obsequies of an officer in the army. Admiral Farragut, who was the chief naval officer during’ the war, was born in Knox county, a few miles below, the city. A movement is now on foot to erect a monumeni to his.memory, and some of the old logs from the house in which he was born are still to be seen. The remains of Andy Johnson, the tailor President, lie buried, wrapped in an Ameri- can flag, at Greeneville, seventy-five miles east of Knoxville. There also stands a handsome monument erected to his mem- ory, and the old tailor shop, yet in an ex- cellent state of preservation. The people who are coming south are beginning to understand more of this sec- tion of the country. The people of the south today are not rebels, but are as loyal to the flag as the people of the north, and if a call were made today for volun- teers to ward off encroachments from for- eign powers the south would be the first to respond. They have flung the bloody flag aside, and with Gen. John B. Gordon are saying: “There is no longer north, south, east or west, but it is all one grand country—America.” Another reason the thousands are com- ing is that this is the first time the Sons of Veterans have held their national en- campment in the south, which ts an evi- dence that the lines of demarkation are fast crumbling away. The Preparations. The Sons of Veterans come to Knoxville to hold @heir ninth annual encampment at the fhvitation of the Ed. Maynard Post, G. A. R.; W. P. Sanders Camp, Sons of Veterans; mayor and aldermen, chamber of commerce, Young Men's Business League and prominent citizens. For more than three months encampment headquarters have been open and the vari- dus committees have been hard at work. The encampment has been well advertised, over 50,000 personal letters have been writ- ten, and over 200,000 circulars haye been issued. An entertainment fund. of $10,000 has been raised by popular subscription. Homes have been arranged for all who come, and the entertainment. will bespeak true southern hospitality. Twelve military bands have been engaged for the parade. A magnificent display of fireworks will be sent heavenward, many public and private receptions will be given and other things will add to the occasion. All the public buildings and places of busi- ness will b> gaily decorated with the na- tional colors, also many private residences, while Gay street, the leading thoroug fare of the city, is spanned by twelve arches, surmounted with vari-colored globes, which will be gorgeously illumi- nated, The Grand Parade. Tomorrow will occur the grand parade, which will be fully five miles long. Et will he participated in by the Sons of Veterans, G. A. R. pests, local militia, State Univer- sity cadets, 2,000 school boys, brass bands and local lodges and orders. Among the prominent men of national importance who will be in attendance are Commander-in-chief Bundy and staff of the Sons of Veterans, Commander-in-chief J.awler and staff of the G. A. R., and the following govertfoys of states, accompanied by their staffs. McKinley of Ohio, Morton of New York, Werts of New Jersey,Upham of Wisconsin, Woodbury of Vermont, Hastings of Penn- sylvania, Turney ‘of Tennessee and Evans o* South Carolina. Perhaps the most dis- tinguished party will be headed by Gov. Wm. McKinley of Ohio, who will be ac- companied by the famous Cleveland, Ohio, troops. The party will bring their own horses in five Bruton stock cars and will artive this evening in two speciai trains. Many other special trains are expected to arrive Sunday and space has been assigned to 100 sleepers in the railroad yards. Location vf Knoxville.

George Humley, an old colored man, was in the Police Court this morning, charged with assault. The complainant was a white woman by the name of Mary Lovett, and according to the story the occurrence tcok place near the corner of 4th and Pome- roy street last Saturday evening. The evi- dence showed that Sarah used to live tor years with a colored man and still hangs around an alley. where only colored people "Simon Brown, colored, testified that the man’s reputation was far better than the weman’s, gnd that when he saw Mary Sat- urday evening’ she was very drunk, as she usually is. Mr. John M. Langston defended Humley, who, he said, is his neighbor and friend, anda thoroughly respectable citizen. The case occupied the attention of the court for a considerable Jength of time. It tinaliy be- came necessary for Judge Kimball to call down Mr. Langston -for drawing out his examination of the witnesses. Humiey’s story of the occurrence did not tally with the claims made for him by kis lawyer, and after about forty minutes of nation and cross examinati Judge Kimbal! came to the conclusion that Hum- ley was guilty, and sent him to jell for three months, ——— An Invitation. A corrmittee, composed of Messrs. An- gelo Ghiselli, F. Sanfelippo and Josef Gatto, waited upon the Commissioners this morning and invited them to be present at the twenty-fifth anniversary banquet of the unification of Italy, which is to take place on the h instant, under the auspices of the Societa Unione e Fratallanza Italiana of this city. : a holic Paralysis: William J. Yates was found unconscious on a cable car on 7th street southwest yes- terday. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital, and the doctors were puzzled to decide whether he was .simpiy drunk or poisoned. Hours later, when he recovered consciousness, he told his story. He had, in a moment of bravado, thrown a pint of whisky into his stomach, and it paralyzed him. - ——_~+— Death of Mrs. Kittle Evans Willinms. Mrs. Kittie Evans Williams, wife of Mr. W. Mosby Williams of this city, died Fri- day morning at Harrisonburg, Va., and her remains were interred yesterday at that place. Mr. and Mrs. Williams had been married a little less than a year. Las A New Italian Stamp. From the Westminster Gazette. The Italian government is about to fol- lew the example of other states, and to mark the national festival of the entry of the Italians into Rome by the issue of a new “historical postage stamp.” A million cecpies will be ready for sale on the twenty- fifth enniversary of the liberation of Rome in 1870. The design of the new stamp, which was intrusted to Prof. Sezanne, is very elaborate, and somewhat overcrowded for its size. In the upper half of the pic- ture sits the figure of Italy, with the iron crown upon her head; she holds the scepter in her right hand, and in her“left the armorial shield of the house of Savoy. On the two stéps of her throne are two in- scriptions, the first. of which originated with King Victor Emanuel, and. the sec- ond with the present King Umberto: (1) “In Rome we are, and in Rome we mean to stay;’ (2) #Rome is intangible.” In other séctions of the postage stamp are crowded a number of symbols—the she- wolf of ancient Rome, the eagle of Sa- voy, profiles of the two modern kings of United Italy, the Italian crown, and the inscription “Postal stamp in honor of the y-tifth anniversary of the liberation twent) a of ‘Rom and the twy dates, i870 and,1595. Holding the Breath. From Tid-Bits It is a physical impossibility for a man to kill himself by holding his breath. Individuals differ greatly in the length of time they can hold their breath, and what practice and determined effort, combined with natural great lung capacity, can do in this direction is shown by the long periods for which champion divers can remain un- der water. If a man succeeded in continu- ing to hold his breath, in spite of the phys- fcal discomfort in which he had placed himself, the result would simply be to in- duce a State of coma. When this state was reached nature would reassert herself, and the breathing functions would again re- sume full activity, preventing a fatal issue in spite of their owner's desire. iTALY AND THE VATICAN Services to Be Held in All the Catholic . Churches Next Friday. Instructions Issued by Cardinal Gib- bons to the Clergy © Diocese. This aie | Besides the celebration by Italians in this city on the 20th instant of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the aniixation of the Roman provinces to the kingdom of Italy, or, as it is better knownjvof Italian unity, there will also be observances in the Cath- olic churches of the event; though from a different standpoint. ere Perhaps, without a single rexception, the members of the Italian dolony in this city: are ‘dentifed with the Catholic Church, and it is they who will celebrate the unity of the italian nation. Not only that, but most likely.the majority will take part in the morning in the services;to be held in the churches, praying for the freedom and independence of the pope. Such services will be held quite generally throughout the United States, and In this diocese they will be held without exception. Archbishop Gibbons has issued to the clergy of his diocese the following ‘structions CARDINAL'S RESIDE: BALTIMORE, Md., September 6, ‘S95. Dear Reverend Mather: Oa September 20 the Italian government will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the annexation of the Roman provinces to the kingdom ¢f a While public demonstrations are there being carried on in memory of this ocoupa- tion of what nad for centuries been papal dominions, the holy see. desires that the faithful children of the church throughout the world should nite in praying heaven for, the freedum and independence of the pope. You are therefore requested to publicty recite on that date, in your church, at the mass which is most fully attended, the litany of the saints, prayiug according to the intentions of the sovereign pontiff that Providence soon vouchsafe to grant to the church and her visible head the Uberty so necessary for the exercise of thelr Divine mission, Faithfally yours in Christ, J. CARDINAL GIBBONS, Archbishop of Baltimore. WM. A. REARDON, Chancellor. It is expected that these services will be limited to the ceremonies indicated in Arch- ‘bishop Gibbons’ instructions, although if any of the clergy desire a sermon might be Gelivered on ‘that day on the subject. When the Italian government took meas- ures to deprive the pope of his temporal power in the states that for so long had been under his rule, the ban of excommani- cation was fronounced against every one who directly or indirectly contributed to the loss of his'power. But a high authority in the church remarked today to a Star reporter that this ban of excommunication he did not consider applied to those who take part in merely celebrating the anni- versary of this event. 2 ee = NCE, A Stray Carrier Pigeon. A handsome carrier pigeon alighted in the court of No. 516 10th street northwest (at the house in which Abraham Lincoln died), early this morning. It had evidently been a long distance, as it appeared to be in need of rest, displaying but little fear of those who came near. It was of a dark slate color, with regular mottled spots of black on its wings and back, and a halo of béautiful prismatic ¢olorg about. its neck. Its wings were large ang strong, and its motions active and rather eccentric. It was taken into the house;and-fed, and on examination, stamped upon n@ piece of metal, attached to its right leg, was found the following: “M. C. Hy C.,72795."" After repeated attempts to gajny its liberty through the window, it was allowed to go out in the court, where jt isinow quietly resting. ———— Sons of Veteran Delegates Leave.

THE FACTIONS ARE WIDE APART Gleeson, Carson and the Union Republican Club. THEN M’KINLEY’S FRIENDS The Star recently, in discussing the po- litical situation Tn the District, said that the contest for the selection of delegates to the next national republican convention would have to be decided by the national committee of-the republican party. The announcement on the part of the Gleeson- ites Saturday that they would contest the right of Mr. Aaron Bradshaw to call the convention for the selection of two dele- gates has made the political ‘situation here more complicated, and The Star's an- nouncement that the national committee will be brought into the fight will prove true. The! Gleeson people claim that the major portion of the republicans here are with them, and that the only way they can be defeated will be by snap judgment on the part of the Bradshaw central com- mittee, so they have anrounced that they will fight down to the last ditch and will then throw themselves upon the national committee, to determine the justice of their cause. They will have some member of the Aldrich central committee, which, they claim, {s the legal committee, to call the conventions in the several districts, and the Gleesonites will obey this call, select the delegates, hold a District con- vention, select two delegates to the na- tional convention and name a new central committee. It Is said that the Gleeson people will se- lect, as Gleeson’s colleague W. H. Smith, who for many years was the assistant librarian in the law library at the Capitol. It is said that Smith will be selected as the colored delegate because he is favorable to the selection of T. B. Reed us the republi- can candidate for the presidency. All the time that Gleeson went to the national con- vention he was favorable to the selection uf Blaine as the republican candidate, but since Blaine is no more Gleeson has hitch- ed himself to the other “man from Maine” and wants Smith as his colleague on the delegation, because he, too, is a Reed man. The Bradshaw Position. While the Gleeson people are saying that they will not recognize the Bradshaw call, Bradshaw is pursuing the even tenor of his own way and says that he will call the conventions at the proper time, and will at- tempt to accord justice to all of the aspir- ants to the national convention. He says trat he Is confident that if there is a con- test before the national convention, the convention will decide favorably to’ him, as he claims that it did before. Perry Car- son will join in the call which will be issued by Bradshaw, and he says that the Brad- shaw convention will have in it the dele- gates which will be chosen by a majority of the republicans here. The Tribure of New York, which gives in its yearly almanac the names of the chair- men of the republican party in the different states and territories, records Mr. Brad- shaw as being the chairman of the republi- can party of the District of Columbia. In the absence of Frank Aldrich, who the anti-Carson-Bradshaw people claim 1s the chairman, it is said that they will have A. H. S. Davis, who called the conventions four years ago, td call the anti-Carson con- vention again this year. Editor W. Calvin Chese claims also that Mr. Bradshaw has no more authority than he has to call the several conyentions. Mr. Parker’s Chances. ‘The announcement of ex-Commissioner M. M.’ Parker during the’ week that he would accept of the honor of being a dele- gate if it was tendered ‘him caused those who have been talking in a friendly way of him as the white delegate to renew their talk in his behalf.- While Perry Carson has not “come out” for any one as his colleague on the delegation, it is known that he is favorable to the selevtion of Mr. Parker. The fact that the Union Re- publican Club and the republican members of the board of trade are also favorable to his candidacy has caused some of the local leaders to believe that he will be se- lected as its white delegate. Present indications point to the selection of three sets of delegates from the Dis- trict. The Union Republican Club has an- nounced that it will select two men of “respectability and worth,” and will send them to the convention and have them seated upon the representation that the people here want a change in District pol- ities, and want the affairs handled by such men as they will send to the convention. It looks as if the Carson peopleewill send as delegates Carson and Bradshaw, the Union Republican Club will certify to Parker and Daniel Murray, and the Gl INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS .

Roe ke ee meen iat FAVORABLE PROSPECTS. Good Wenther Promixed by the Ex- perts for the Present. It is altogether likely that the warm weathef of summer has entirely passed. There may be a little flurry during the lat- ter part ofthe month, but the usual ex- perience of Washingtonians is that after the excessive heat of September has passed and has been broken by a cool wave there is no return of uncomfortably higi temper- ature until the next season. The cool wave of last week was almost too severe and too sudden. Saturday night the city fairly shivercd, and some of the suburban resi- dents were decidedly uncomfortable. It be- gan to warm up a little yesterday, how- ever, and today the temperature was most delightful. The weather bureau put forth an aite- gether agreeable map this morning, show- ing the country to be almost fre from dis- turbances, with a general rise of tempera- ture throughout those sections that were visited by the cool snap a few nights ngo. Some of the temperatures reported from New York state and New England yester- day were surprisingly low Ice was formed at several places, the temperature having gone below the freezing point in such a short epace of time that in many places crops were injured. Washington did not suffer so severely as this, and the drop in the temperature was not on the whole un- welcome. This morning's predictions were favorable to all kinds of outdoor employ- ment, end the map gives an excellent pros- pect for a fair, pleasant week. It i$ ap- parent that there will be no unusual fall or rise in the temperature, but that the mer- cury will make a fairly normal September record. ————— Liquor to Minors. Chas. W. Callahan, who keeps a restau- rant at 1101 C street northeast, was ar- rested this morning on the charge of sell- ing liquor to minors. The warrant was is- syed at the instance of the Anti-saloon League. He 1s alleged to have furnished Nquor to Atthur Murray, a hill boy em- ployed by the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company. Callahan ap- peared before the clerk of the Police Court today and demanded a jury trial, giving bonds for his appearance. H. H. Kelly, who keeps a drug store on M street northwest, was placed under ar- rest yesterday by Policeman Jack of the third precinct on the charge of selling liquor without a license. He was placed under $1,000 bonds to appear for trial next Thursday. - —— . Proof Thereof. From the Chicago Tribune. “Here is an item,” said Mr. Chugwater, who was looking over his morning paper, “about a man that fell from the thirteenth floor of a skyscraper the other day.” “Did it kill him?” asked Mrs. Chugwater. pil him? He never knew what hurt “I might have known it,” rejoined Mrs. Chugwater, rubbing her nose thoughtfully. “Thirteen is such-an unlucky numbe: son faction wiil choose Gleeson and W. H. Smith. ji The McKinley League. The McKinley people are not at all asleep, and if they don’t select delegates they will throw their strength to some one of the other factions, and will compromise by selecting one McKinley delegate. Rob- ert H. Keys, the young colored man whom the McKinley people are backing, is “‘out hustling,” and it looks as if he will be somewhere in some one of the delegations. A delegation of colored men waited on Mr. L, M. Saunders and C. J. Ortlip during last week, and as these two gentlemen are favorable to Mr. McKinley the delégation wanted them to put up some “stuff” for them to go to work on—creating sentiment favorable to the selection of McKinley dele- gates. It is said that the two gentlemen religiously turned the delegation down and ‘declared that it was too early to begin the fight. All of the different factiops seemed de- termined to select delegates to the next convention, the McKinley - people hoping that if McKinley controls the credential committee that they will be. seated; the Reed faction trusting that he will be in high favor that they may get inside the breast works, and the gndependents be- lieving that neither candidate will be in control of the credential committee and that they will be seated with the hope of having them won over to the side upon which a majority of the credential com- mittee may finally land. The situation is much complicated and promises to be more so by the time for the selection of delegates, as each faction seems determinde to‘fight it out to the end. SSS She Demands Support. Application for maintenance was filed to- day by Sallie Eugenia Long against Frank Hall Long. Mrs. Long states that they were married here December 31, 1892, and iived together until August 18 last, when her husband, she charges, willfully - deserted ard abandoned her, after abusing and as- saulting her while he was in an intoxicat- ed condition. Last spring, she asserts, her husbard assaulted and abused her, throw- ing lemon juice in her eyes. She has, she says, always been a true and loving wife, and since the alleged desertion and aban- donment of her, she declares, she has en- deavorel to induce him ‘o return to he She says that her husband Ss a printer, em- ployed at one of the leading establishments here, at a salary of $20 a week. Since the 18th of last month, she charges, he has been spending his earrings on other wo- men and in riotous living. She therefore prays that he oe rmquirel to pay her a reasonable amount of. alimony pending the suit, legal expenses, and alimony so long as he refuses or nesgtects to live with her or provide her a suitable home and maiate- nance. ee Interstate Democratic Club Reception. The second monthly reception of the In- terstate Demccratic Association, which was given at its club rooms, en New York av nue, Saturday night, was largely attended, and the addresses delivered, in which fu- ture democratic successes in Kentucky, Maryland, New York and elsewhere. were promised, caused much enthusiasm. There were musical and literary features in addi- tion to the political part of the program, and refreshments were served at its con- clusion. — Where Marriage is a Trial. From the Indianapolis Journal. i “I—I like you, Mr. Lake,’s the maiden blushingly admitted, “but I hate to leave papa and mamma.” “Goodness gracious, girl,” exclaimed Mr. Lake of Chicago, in his breezy way, “haven't they had the pleasure of your com- pany for more than twenty years? And now, when I ask you to be my wife for mebbe a year or two you go and kick!” ~ -FINANCIAL. FINANCIAL.
