Mr. Strecter rep- resented the slue and a grizzled, gray haired ‘onfederate veteran an instructor in Alexdndria's High school Visits Old R. R. Shop. During the tumultuous days of '61-'65 Mr. Streeter, then a lieutenant in the army of the north, was sta- tioned at Alexandria. Last Tuesday he re-visited the scenes of his early experiences. While there Mr. Street- er was recognized by an elderly employe of the railroad shop who worked there when Mr. Streeter was with the commissiary department of the United States Military railroads in 1865. This old man took MT. Streeter through the shops and showed him an old stationary engine which was running then even as it was fifty years ago. Speaks to School Children. While in Alexandria Mr. Streeter was invited to address the pupils of the public schools and for three hours he vicited the different school- houses and addressed the young peo- ple. On his sugs: on the superin- tendent of schools closed the schools for a half day in order that the chil- dren might witness the grand review of the old soldiers, Blue and Grey Meet. It was interesting to Mr. Streeter to note that the principal of the Alex- andria High school who greeted him so cordially was the son of an old Confederate warrior and three other teachers of the school were daughters or granddaughters of old southern soldiers. The greatest and most pleas- ant surprise of all however, says Mr. Streeter, was when he met an aged teacher in the school who proved to be a Confederate veteran himself. He threw his arms about the Conhecticut man’s shoulders and addressed him as brother. For some few minutes these two old soldiers, who fifty years ago were endeavoring to kill each other, clasped each other’s hands as friends and lived again the days of their vanished youth. While in the south Mr. Streeter ad- dressed the national convention of the Sons of Veteran’'s Auxiliary and the Daughters of Veterans. WIRES OPEN AGAIN, The Western Union Telegraph com- pany made the following announce- ment this morning through Manager Groff: “The Western Union Tele- graph company announces that not- v.ithstanding the work of restoring its lines to New Orleans has been im- peded by heavy rains in that section, substantial progress has been made and that at the opening of business this morning a number of wires were available for service although their efficiency was below normal because of swings caused by the prevailing high winds and continued rails. It is understood that the Western Union lines constitute the solo means of tele- graphic communication with New Or- leans up to date and officials of the ccmpany point with considerable pride to this achievement. the notable character of which will be apparent when it is understood that the dam- age was so severe that train service by some of the routes will hardly be stored for several weeks.” .

MILLS 336 MAIN STREET ¥, Iy 99, | | LOCAL PASTOR - RECEIVES APPEAL {Former Persian Resident Writes 1 of Terrible Conditions in Urimah John Odishoo a former local res in a letter written to Rector Hariy I. Itodley of St. Mark’s church gives a clear idea of the terrible devastion caused in that country by the Turkish army. The letter is as follov Russians Were Kind. “It is almost something out of the extraordinary to be writing to you these few lines. It is certainly God's Persia, sole guidance that I am still living. You have doubtless read in the pa- pers of the great catastrophe in Uri- mah. I cannot possibly tell you a fraction of what has happened to us in this land of fanaticism. For along period of Russian occupation of Uri- mah the Christ here had enjoyed tranquility and almost equality. The Russian had led us to the point where we could justly claim our rights. In other words we were gradually ex- tracting ourselves from the shackles of slavery and bondage. In conse- quence to these movements the Christians had reached to a high grade of prosperity. But along with this movement there was another Mohammedan movement of hatred and jealousy going on. They were planning and expecting a chance to pour their revenge upon the poor Christians. This chance came to them two months after Turkey had declared war against Ru Owing to the Russian military tactics in the | region of Kars, it was announced that the Russian force occupying Urimah would withdraw and they withdrew. The Christians being terrified by this sudden movement of ‘the Russians and afraid of the Mohammedan ven- geance partly ran off with the Rus- sians and partly not being able to leave their homes were left behind. The pandemonium began when the Kurdish horde began descending into the. plain of Urimah. A couple of days iater the Turkish army came. Then the Pe Mohammedans joined hands with both the Turks and Kurds. A Jahaad was declared for the general ma cre of the Chris- s. The devil began with his dla- 1 work. It is a long story.
