Washington, April 17.-Gen. Isaac Sherwood, himself a distinguished Union veteran, who is a member of Congress from Ohio, to-day Intro duced a Joint resolution authorizing the Arlington Memorial Amphithea ter Commission to inscribe tho names of Confederate military leaders on the memorial, which is in Virginia, Just across tho Potomac river from Washington. The resolution ex plains that, although the commission appointed by Congress to have charge of the construction of the amphitheater included a Confederate veteran in its membership, the ma jority of the commission could not construe tho law to permit the In scription of the names of Confederate, leaders. This decision was reached in ?pite of the fact that Congress has set aside a tract at Arlington for the Confederate dead. A good deal of indignation had been expres sed among Southern members of Con gress and others here about the nar row decision of tho commission, but none of them took any action, pre ferring that if anything be done by Congress it would more fittingly come from a Northern source.

SALVATION ARMY CHARITY As Soon by a Traveling Salesman in South Carolina. In tlie city of Anderson the other day my attention was called to a small funeral procession leaving ono of the mill villages and wending its way out toward the edge of town to lay away an aged woman who had answered the last roll-call. There were only two equipages-the hoarse and tho Saltvaion Army car. Upon inquiry I learned that this was a family who wore very poor, consisting of a father who was sick, and a mother and four little chil dren, and this was the mother and grandmother, who, after living to tho ripe old age of 7 8 years, had heard tho summons of another shore and had gone homo to her God. In traveling over the land and see ing things from a commercial tra veler's point of view, always look ing for business, getting the order, catching tho next train, and on to the next town, they seldom have the time to look into tho finer things of life, and lt is good to catch a glimpse of our dear Saviour and His teach ings, which are exemplified co clear ly In such charity as the Salvation Army if, doing, and the great good they aro accomplishing, not only In Anderson, S. C., but all over this great country of ours. I thought, after I boarded the train in leaving Anderson, how lone some and sad that little home in the cotton mill village would be that night, with mother and grandmother gone, and a vacant chair around tho fireside that never more would be filled, and I fancied that when they prayed tho bed-lime prayer through their tears they would thank Cod for the Salvation Army, for truly it was their only friend in their dire distress, and the man with the red band around his cap prayed the prayer, preached tho sermon and sang the song that gave comfort to tholr bereaved souls. Cod bless the Salvation Army's work In Anderson: Cod bless their work all over tho land, for they aro always looking for tho "down and out," and every day they aro doing thousands of charitable deeds that .n tm noticed from tho eyes of the world, Mut there is One who knows, md notes tho fall of tho sparrow, and ll'; will abundantly bless.

Now Orleans, April 17.-Charac terizing modern "evening or society weddings" as approaching to "the abomination of desolation," and confessing that he "is at a loss to describe the brazen Immodesty of dress with which tho modern bridal party and their friends offend tho majesty of Him, in whoso presence tho very angels are not pure," Rey. John W. Shaw, archbishop of New Orleans, to-night made public the text of a pastoral lotter which will bo read Sunday In all the churches in this archdiocese.
