Many reports were beard at tbe morning session Tbe afternoon aession opened with the reading of a statement from tbe Daughters of tbe Confederacy pre sented by Taylor Ellison of Rich? mond, Va After tbe report was read sub scriptions were msde for tbe Davis monument and it was announced that close to $5,500 had been raised for tbe monument fund.

MEMPHIS CHOBSN FOR N !? X V BMJNION Louisville, June 1 ?Tho 10th an Dual reunion of tbe United Confed erate veterans adjourned nine die at 6 o'clock tonight The meeting of 1901 will bo held in Memphis Three cities were competitors for tbe honor of entertaining tbe veterans next year. The claims of Memphis were presented by Gen G W Gordon, who made an elcqueut plea for tbe Tennessee city. The claim* of Huf falo were eres ?nted by Z I Smith who made an excellent impression on the courrntion Dr Williams of Jack eonville ; poke for Jacksonville The final vote showed for Memphis 1 520 votes ; Jacksonville, 256 ; Buffalo, 26. A vote of thanks was extended for tbe kind invitation of Buffalo. Tho last session of the convention was confined entirely to the vote on tbe place for tbe next convention and was practically devoid'of incident ; but the latter part of the moruing session was full of excitement For upwards of half an hour tho conven tion was in an uproar and iu a state of great excitement and confusion The trouble an se si the conclusion of the presentation of the report of the committee on resolutions A resolution had been incorporated in the report which had been presented by W B Burgynn of North Caroli? na, to tbe effect that the convention of Confederate vetersne recognized wi:h appreciation the language of Gen I> iu tel K Sickles, the orator at the Annual reunion of the Army of the Potomac at Fredericksburg, in which he had mentioned most kindly the men of the Confederacy, and tho resolution said the Confederates te cipracated the feeling shown toward them by the men of the Army of the Potomac Gen Gordon put the question ou the adoption of the report. There was a chorus of "ayes,1' and when be called for the vote on the negative he ssid quickly : "The ayes huve it " After he had announced tbe vote there came a few cries of "no." Gen Gordon: s*id "I did not think there would be any negative votes od such a question, but as there were some after I declared the vote, I will now resubmit it " The author of the resolution took the floor to sposk in behalf of the resolution and made a strong plea for its adoption. He said he had been present at the meeting at Fredericks burg and had heard tho kindly senti merits expieased by the soldiers of lbs north, and he desired tho passage 1 of tbe resolution merely as a matter of courtesy Col J H. Sheppard of Richmond, Va, secured the fljor and said : "I waut do coquetting with i lbs Yankees who defeated as. For God's sake don't SOOOpt anything from their hands. Don't accept any thing from Union soldiers Vote it down, comrades ; vote it down M Instently thor? was a territij up roar DoitOf of delegates wero on their feet demanding recognition from the chair Rev. VV E HMI of Mia sissippi secured the eye of the chair? man IIo read again the resolution, and strongly urged its adoption, eay ing that tho man who would vote against it waa not worthy the name of soldier Gen. S. D Lsc also urged the adoption of the icaolution Ab ho concluded Col Sheppaid cft...c to the front of the platform and cried, "Vote it down ! Vote it down |M He was met with mingled applause and criea of "ait down." W L DeRossett of North Caro line declared he waa the only mem? ber on the committee on resolutions who bad opposed the adoption of the resolution. He was against it for tbe reason that he thought 'they should not take action until they bad received official notice of tbe action taken by tbe Army of tbe Potomac To adopt it now he considered would be a humiliation of the Confederate association The uproar waa now something tremendous, men by the dozen shout ing to attract the attention of the chair, calling "vote," "question/' "no/' "yes," and "Gordon, Gordon." Besides this there were shouts from a great many who did nothing else Others added to the din by cheering the speech of some delegate closo to them, whose remarks were inau idble to all but those within a few feet of him. Gen Gordon finally re? stored order and in response to the call for his opinion oame to the front with a smile on his face and said : ''I trust the time will never come while I stand no southern ground or among the chivalrous men of tbe south when 1 will refuse to send a kindly message to an enemy. I know the sender of this message. On the heights of Gettysburg he stood gal? lantly in front of my lines and it was my bullets that sent him to the rear with a leg off For me, 1 am going to reciprocate tbe kindly message of the) northern soldier " iVild cheers greeted this declara tion Tbe question was put aud it was adopted with a roar of assent Gen Lyon of Kentucky moved that tbe resolution bo reconsidered and n motion to table came on the heels of his original motion The motion to table, which was then put, was lost During tbe day the ladies commit tee having in charge the collection of funds for the building of the Davis monument in Richmond were very active and in addition to tbe pledges secured yesterday raised about $3,500 ?as> ? ? ? ? m ? A. Queen's Masterpiece of Needlework. Interesting is the story told in tbe Juno Ladies' Home Journal of tbe bringing to light of an apron em broidered by Mary, Queen of Scots, while in jail awaiting execution : "A Mr Meyers, an American costumer, who was in London on business, had an opportunity to buy a lot of ancient embroidered garments Among those which be purchased was a dress known to have belonged to Mary, Qaeen of Scots. In rippiug this to use the gold and silver threads with which it was wrought, an apron was discovered sewed between the out side aud tbe lining, where it bad bcencarefullyl hidden by tbe unfor tuuate queen herself Subsequent search has since fully established tbe fact that the apron is the work of tbe fated queen It has been shown to experts iu England, France and the United States, and all agvee in de? claring the stitch used to be one called the "Lost Stitch." which has been searched for by embroiderers nnavailiugly for over 200 years. Under the microscope the work seems to be done in a series of French knots which produce infinites imal disks of silk These disks lie side by side and very close together. 'I iero are hundreds of them to the square mcb, all evenly laid with the colors exquisitely blended. Around the edge of each petal, forming a line around every part of the design is a fine tracery of white, either a stitch of marvelous ingenuity or a microscopic cord couched on. Tbe blossoms arc chiefly marigolds, jea samines, roses and morning glories. They are arranged with their leaves to form a running border design? flowing, yet disconnected " -- ?ga* ? - - St. Loail, May 21 ?Public interest io the strike situation erntete fur tbe time being in yesterday's order to the police- commissioners on tho sheriff of St Louis oounty to swear in 1,000 speo>al deputies and in ih<ir order of today ordering the stroking in of 1 500 addttioual incu, making 'J.,500 in ell, for tbe purpose of preserving peaoe and order.

"Considering that Mexico is on a silver basis," says tbe Pitteburg Post, "it does not male a bad showing in the way of industrial progress In the past nine years tbe republic has doubled its revenues, doubled its ex ports, doubled the number of its fac tories and multiplied by three its banking capital?and the continuance of this great prosperity is now quite as pronounced as ever during the decade This is what Seuor Casssus, a leader in the Mexican congress, told the New York lawyers tbe other day, when they entertsined him at a banquet. To tho stability of govern mcnt established by President Diaz he attributes much of this remarkable industrial progress, but he also main tains that the selrer monetary stand ard has been, through the ? se of gold or fall of silver, a p werful stimulus to manufacturing and the export trade " The uotabic prosper ity of the country may or may not be due to its silver standard There is no room for dinpute on one point, however.

A Big Difference Between the strong warranty you get on Champion Binders <fc Mowers, And the contract you sign when you buy any other kind. A warranty is of no value except it is in exact form as issued by the company, and, if changed in any way, the com? pany is not bound by it, nor is it any protection to you. The Champion warranty is an evidence of the superiority of the machines, and is made strong and positive for your protection. The warranties given with other machines are carefully drawn for the protection of the manufacturer, and if you sign one, the chances are that you will have to settle for the ma? chine even if it is not satisfactory. These warranties are a good thing for the machine company, but a poor thing for you, All warranties state that machines are durable, well made, and of good materials, and give you one .day's trial to deter? mine all this. What can you tell about the durability of a machine by using it one day ? But how about its work in the field ? This you can tell at least something about, but there isn't one word about it in the warranty, only some directions about what you are to do when the machine doesn't work well. Isn't this singular ? How about wasting grain between the binder deck and the elevator ? About lack of power when compressing the bun? dle ? How about the loss of power on the push bar Mower when cutting tough grass ? Just at the time you need the most power you have the least. In their advertising all makers claim 10 have a device for keeping the knife and pitman in line, but only the Champion has it, and others dare not put it in the warranty. You should insist on having these very important features included in the warranty. If you do, we may have on oppor? tunity of selling you a Champion, for other machines are not capable of fulfilling any such broad warranty.
