RETURN OF FLAGS.
Zcmmanding General of Veterans
Expresses Appreciation of the
Action of Congress.
The following general orders, of
particular interest to the Confederate
veterans, have been issued by Gen.
Le-e:
Rdqrs. United Confed. Vets.,
New Orleans, March i, i9o5.
General Orders No. 26.
i. The general commanding feels
that he would be derelict in his duty
to his old comrades who have honor
ed him in making him commander-in
chief of this great federation did he
not give expressioni to the feeling of
satisfaction that fills the heart of
every Confederate veteran in contem
plating the heartiness and unanimity
in which the national legislature pass
ed the bill restoring the Confederate
datle flag to :he several states. and
the readiness with which the measure
a approved by the president. This
action is buit a fresh evidence that
there are now in our grand country
no sectional lines-no south, no north
east or west: but that we are all
Americans, devoted to one common
country.
2. The general commanding takes
occasion, in view of this era of good
jeeling shown by the congress of the
'United States and the president, to
-rge upon all parties, north or south,
who have colors in their possessi'on,
-to return them at once to the state
capitols. In such depositories these
highly prized relics can be properly
.cared for; and they should all be
gathered there at the earliest moment
*He indulges the hope that this wish
may be complied with, and that pri
vate parties many manifest as much
brotherly feeling as the national au
thorities.
3. The general commanding is sat
isfied that the display in the various
state capitols of these precious heir
looms, which represent the highest
devotion, the greatest self-sacrifice,
the most persistent courage witness
ed in modern warfare, will do a great
deal to stimulate the patriosism of
the rising generation. Theseevidences
of bravery on the part of their fathers
cannot but add to the pride that our
children feel in the heroic and daring
exploits of their ancestry, and it is
the surest way to encourage and
-magnify that feeling of love of coun
try and willingness to die for her sake
'that should be fostered at all times by
thte state.
4. The commanding general desires
'that some official acknowledgement
-should be made to Hon. John Lamb
(himself a Confederate soldier), who
intt'oduced the measure in congress, to
the senate and house of representa
tives, who passed it without a dissent
ing voice, and to the president, who
immediately approved it; and he urg
es camps everywhere to at once get
together and formulate resolutions
.expressive of their endorsement.
By command of
Stephen D. Lee,
. General Commanding.

Hdgrs. United Confed. Vets.,
New Orleans, March 7, 1905.
Special Orders No. 27.
Another great Confederate leader
has gone to his reward. Judge John
H1. Reagan, the las;t survivor of the
Confederate cabinet, passed into rest
on Monday, March 6, at his home in
Pal6stine, Tex., full of years and of
hionors.
He was born i,~ Sevier county,
Tenn., Oct. 8, 1818, and was, there
fore, at the time cf his death, in his
86th year. He began life under very
adverse 'circumstances, but this fact
only served to call forth that indomi
rable pluck and determination that
were ever marked features of his
whole career. Whether engaged in
the daily labor of the farm or fighting
Indians on the border, or discharging
the duties of an attorney at law, of
administering justice from the bench,
er serving the state or national leg
islature, he was ever the same
thorough painstaking patriot. By
close application to all that he un
dertook, he made a complete success
of every detail, and won plaudits from
-all with whom he wa's associated,
'whether of his own or the opposing
-party.
His wonderful ability was best
shown in the management of the pos

men: when he was postmaster gen
cral. With all the disadvantages
with which he had to contend, by
his dogged determination and unceas
ing labors. he gave the south a fair
service, and adopted a system that
those qualified to judge, say was al
most perfect, and c -ie that the gov
ernment of tod.y -ould wisely and
advantageously follow.
He was devoted to his dear south
land, and was never too weak or too
weary :o take up pen to defend his
people from attack.c of every nature.
That he might meet his beloved as
sociates, he would often, at great in
convenience to himself, attend the
annual. reunions of the United Con
federate Veterans and always had
something of importance to say to
those whom he had journeyed so far
to meet. Kindly in disposition,
though naturally reserved; terse and
expressive in speech; forcible and
impressive as a writer-he was a
southern patriot, pure and unstained
in thought and utterance and has left
a record which his Confederate as
sociates will ever cherish, and the
whole country can point to with the
greatest pride.
By command of
Stephen D. Lee,
General Commanding.

Wm. E. Mickle,
Adjutant General and Chief of Staff.
Hdqrs. United Confed. Vets.,
New Orleans, March T, 1905.
General Orders No. 25.
The general commanding learns,
with the greatest pride and pleasure,
of the efforts that are being made by
the ladies of the Robert Patton chap
ter of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy of Cincinnati, Ohio,
headed by that zealous and indefatiga
ble worker, Mrs. Mary Ptton Hud
son, to properly care for the Confed
erate dead on Johnson's Island. Two
hundred and six of our dead comrad
es occupy this "God's Acre," far, re
moved from their dear southland, and
this little band of noble and patriotic
women, located in a northern sute,
has done much in the past to beautify
these graves, and is now putting forth
extra exertions to buy the cemetery,]
improve it, and then build a monu
ment over the dead.
These "Daughters of the South"
are the descendants of those glorious
"Women of the Confederacy" who
were the mainstay of our armies dur
ing our mighty~ struggle, whose self
sacriicing deeds will live through
eternity, and the general command
ing wishes to direct particular atten
tion to this most laudable effort,-and
to urge camps and private individuals
to make such substantial contribu
tions to these beloverd "Daughters"
as will enable them to complete, in
the near future, the work they have
so much at heart.
By command of
Stephen D. Lee,

A Period of Oratory.
Hon. Joh:n E. Roche of Scranton,
ws. a member of the legislature dur
ir.g the first Pattison administration,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. He
used to tell a good story about how
a pretentious orator was squelched.
Two young lawyers from adjoining
districts had been arying during an
entire session to make reputations as
orators. When tfle apportionment
bill was taken up one of them spoke
for three hours against the bill, and

for a'other lengthy ebullition in fa
vor of the measure. In his peroration
he said he was sorry to find his
brother on the wrong side, for there
was every reason why they should
agree.
"Did I understand you to say that
you were born on the same day?" in
terrogated a member from Philadel
phia.
"Yes," came the prompt reply.
"On the very same day?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then it must have been a very
windy day."

London Globe.
Among the army of London car
riage drivers is an Irishman noted for
his native wit. It stood him in poor
stead one day, however. Pat was en
gaged by a gentleman to drive to a
hydropathic establishment.
On arrival at the gate the man in
quired, "What's your fare, driver?"
"Well, sir," said Pat, "the manest
jintleman I ever drove here gave me
2 shillings."
"Is that so?" exclaimed the gentle
man, who was a bit of wag. "Well,
here's a shilling for you, my man. I
like the idea of breaking records."

Public is Aroused.
The public is aroused to a knowledge
of the curative merits of that great
medicinal tonic, Electric Bitters, for
sick stomach, liver and kidneys. Mary
H. Walters, of 546 St. Clair Avenue,
Columbus, 0., writes. "For several
months, I was given up to die. I had
fever and agu.e, my nerves were
wrecked; I could not sleep, a-id my
stomach was so weak, from useless
doctor's drugs, that I could not eat.
Soon after beginning to take Electric
Bitters, I obtained relief, and in a
short time I was entirely cured."
