GRANT MADE IDOL
BY CONFEDERATES
Grizzled Soldiers in Gray Rush
to Shake Hand of Son of
Commander.
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.

cause of religious belief" were the key
notes of the address made tonight by
President Taft before the congress of
Roman Catholic missionaries ln session
In this city.
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."

ington. June 10. A petition signed by the
Indians of the Klamath reservation, ask
ing for the removal of Horace G. Wilson,
their agent, was received by the Indian
Office some time ago. but it is understood
to have been circulated by disgruntled
Indians., and failed to allege any substan
tial ground upon which Wilson could be
relieved.
So little Importance was attached to
the protest that it was pigeon-holed
without action. Wilson's record, so far
as is known by the Indian Office, is en
tirely satisfactory, and there is no Inten
tion of removing him.

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.
