GENERAL BLESSES THEM Demonstration Marks Parade at Close of Reunion Grant Sheds Tears, Shaken With Emotion. Last Parade of Gray. MEMPHIS, Tenn.. June 10. A frenzied demonstration of welcome by the men In gray for the son of the man who de feated them marked the final scene of the annual reunion of the United Con federate Veterans today. It took place during- the parade. On the reviewing stand stood General Frederick Dent Grant, of the U. S. A. A cavalry division approached and Its commanding- officer, old and grizzled, peered steadily at General Grant a moment. Then he turned in his saddle and yelled: "Come on, you kids, here's General Grant come to life again In his son." Rush to Shake Grant's Hand. With one of the old-time rebel yells, the division charged upon the stand and Jostled one another for an opportunity to shake the hand of the son of their old time enemy, from that moment, every gray-clad veteran who could reach the stand rushed up to shake hands with General Grant. The stocky army of ficer's gray eyes filled with tears and his shoulders shook with emotion as he mur mured: "God bless you all, boys. God bless you." Clad In rough gray homespun, such as they wore In the '60s, and carrying their ancient rifles, 10,000 Confederate veterans took part in the parade, which will prob ably bo their last. The heat was intense and the line of march was cut down to one mile. Commanders of the divisions and brigades directed that the older and feebler members of their commands should drop out. but officers reported that they could find no men old enough or feeble enough to take advantage of the Indulgence. The parade was led by Major General John McDowell, grand marshal, and the veterans, marching by the divisions in which they served, followed behind. At the head of each division rode the sponsors and maids of honor, southern girls wearing the huge crimson shoul der knots that told of their position. Following the regular divisions came the survivors of Forrest's famous cav alry corps. The Sons of Confederate eterans, several, thousand strong closed the parade.

Mr. Taft spoke of the work of settling in the Philippines the difficulties caused by the close relationship there of the church and government. He expressed the opinion that ln the end the church would be strengthened by the change there, "as freedom and toleration and the complete separation of the church and the state hava strengthened the church in this country." Referring to his visit to Pops Leo XIII and the subsequent settlement of the church problems in the Philippines, he declared that few extremists ln this coun try had found any exception thereto. "I venture to say," added fhe Presi dent, "that if this visit to Rome had occurred 40 years ago it would have sunk any administration responsible for it which only goes to show that this coun try is broad enough for all denominations to work together for the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men and for all of us to live here as American cit izens, and that we should make no In vidious distinctions in elections because of religious beliefs."

FLUMES SEAR BODY Mrs. M. L. Dowling May Die of Burns Following Explosion. CLOTHING CATCHES AFIRE Superintendent for Paving Company Also Painfully Injured Trying to Save Wife From Death. Leaky Gaspipe Cause. Her clothes and hair afire and the en tire upper part of her body seared by the flames. Mrs. M. L. Dowling, of 2S6 Broad way, had a narrow escape from death by burning last niht. She now lies in a critical condition in St. Vincent's Hospital as a -result of a gas explosion which oc curred ln the Dowling home last night about 8 o'clock. That she was not burned to death was due to the prompt action of her husband, a civil engineer who is em ployed as superintendent by the Montague-O'Reilly Paving Company. Seizing a blanket Mr. Dowling wrapped his wife in It and fought the flames fran tically in his efforts to quench them. He succeeded in putting them out before his wife was killed, but received serious burns himself about the hands. All Mrs Dowllng-s clothes from the waist up was consumed and her body, face and head were badly burned. Medical aid was im mediately summoned and Mrs. Dowling was later removed to the hospital. A fire alarm was turned in by neighbors hut little damage to the house was wrought by the blaze which followed the explosion. The explosion was no doubt due to a leaky gaspipe. The Dowlings had moved Into the house on Wednesday. Last night Mr. Dowling went Into the cellar and turned on the gas at the meter. He then went through the house and tested the burners with a match to see If they were ln good order. An hour later Mr. and Mrs. Dowling were seated in their front room reading, accompanied by their three small chil dren, when Mrs. Dowling arose and went Into the rear room and struck a match to light the gas. A deafening explosion resulted. Disregarding her own danger the burning woman feared for her chil dren and ran hack into the front room screaming to her husband to save them. The windows of the rear room were blown out and the curtains caught fire and burned, but no other damage resulted to the dwelling. The children were badly scared but escaped without injury.

CURE YOUR RHEUMATISM AT HOME A Michigan Veteran Tells How He Was Permanently Cured of a Severe Case. Every sufferer from rheumatism wants to be cured and to stay cured. The prospect of the return of the same iiioiuuausia every year is not at tractive to anybody who has gone through one siege. Most treatments aim Bimply to "keep down" the rheu matio poisons in the blood. The tonio treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills has proved by hundreds of cures that it bualds up the blood to a point that enables it to cast out these poisons through the regular channels of excre tion, the bowels, kidneys and the skin. When this is done the rheumatism is per manently cured and as long as the blood is kept pure and rich the patient will be immune from attacks of rheumatism. Mr. David MoCarty, farmer and for merly postmaster, GfChapin, Mich., is a veteran of the Civil war, having served in ' Co. B, 14th Michigan Volunteer In fantry. He says : 'For over a year I had rheumatism so badly that I couldn't turn over in bed. There were sharp pains through my hips and left side, which would catch me so quickly tliat it often seemed as though toy back would break. My appetite, was very poor and my kidneys were affected. I could not lie on my back but would have to be propped up in be4 on my right side. "The doctors gave me but little help, for the trouble always came back as severelv as ever. I read about Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills and after taking a few boxes felt much better. The pain was not bo bad and I could eat and sleep better. I gave the pills a good trial and have never had a return of the trouble. " If you are suffering from rheumatism in any form and find that the treatment you are taking does not relieve you, or if you are actually getting worse while taking other treatment, then do not delay but give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a thorough trial The remedy that cures others will cure yon. A valuable booklet, "Diseases of the Blood," containing more information about rheumatism and other diseases of the blood will be sent free upon request. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent by mail postpaid, on receipt of price, 60 cents per box; six boxes, $3.50, by the Dr. Wil liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
