MONUMENT UNVEILED. Crowning Day of Riclimond Confederate Reunion. The Jefferson Davis Statue Occupies a Commanding Site Within View otitis Monument to the Great General of the ; lonfederacy, Kob rt E. Lee. (By special wire to The Argus.) Richmond, Va., June 3. This was the closing and crowing day of the most successful reunion ever held by the Confederate Veterans the day of the big parade, followed by the unveil ing of the Jefferson Davis monument. "The day was a holiday in Richmond public buildings and streets closing at noon for the remainder of the day. Thousands of visitors, coming for the sole purpose of seeing the old soldiers, - were added to the multitude already on the streets. The start of the parade was made shortly before noon. General Stith Boiling, marshal of the day, and staff, preceded by mounted police to clear the way, led the procession. The route led through. Ninth, Grace, Fifth and Frankling streets, passing in review at the Davis! monument. The line of march was a packed mass ol humanity. The crowd was far and away the larg est that the ancient capital of the Con federacy has ever entertained. Windows were bright with the faces of women nd girls, with waving handkerchief and flags, the sidewalks were almost impassable by reason of the congestion. With their blood stirring to the same old sirs which bade them do and die for their cause in the 60s, the veterans marched through the streets, the ob ject of a wildly cheering throng's en thusiasm. At the head of the proces- sion rode Gen. Stephen D. Lee and his ataff.- The erect figure, the alert eyes, -and the short white beard of the com nander-in-chief were well known to most , of the spectators and he was greeted with cheers all along the line. The distinguished guests rode in car. xiages and then came the veterans, ar ranged according to departments, in eluding Texas, Tennessee, trans-Mis sissippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Pacific division, Northwest division and Virginia. The Jefferson Davis statue occupies a .commanding site within view of the monument of the great general of the Oonfederacv. Robert E. Lee. About the statue was assembled a vast con course of people anxious to pay honor .to the memory of the President of the Confederate States on this, the ninety ninth anniversary of his birth. Gen. .Stephen D. Ie presided on the speak .-er's stand and the order pt exercises was as follows: Invocation by the Rev. Dr. J. William Jones, chaplain-general; -addresses by Governor Claude A. ;Swanson, Mayor Carlton McCarthy, and General Clement A. Evans, of At lanta, Ga., the orator of the day; nn veiling of Statue by Mrs. J. A. Hays.of Califerniajd&aghter of President Davis, assisted by her sons; placing, of gar lands by Mrs. Webb and Miss Hays, granddaughters of President Davis; placing cl tributes by Misses Hodgson, Moore and White; addresses of wel come by Mrs. Norman V. Randolph, chairman of the central committee ol tthe Jefferson Davis Monument Associ ation; response by Mrs. William J. Behan, president of the Southern Con federate Memorial Association; Report of Jefferson Davis Monument Associa tion by Mrs. George S. Holmes, presi dent; response by Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson, president-general of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The exercises closed with music and the placing of garlands about the bronze .figure. These wreaths and other floral tributes, many of them of the most ex pensive and elaborate character, .were .-ent by the various States of the South, by chapters of she United Daughters of the Confederacy and by individuals. . w Tonight Richmond will bid good-bye to thousands of her visitors. The per centage ofveterana leaving today was comparatively small. For the most -part they desired to remain till taps had been sounded' in the camp, and they wished particularly to have a part in today's memorial tribute to the memory of the only - President : of the Confederacy. Tonight and .early to morrow morning will see a general ex- -odus of the fatigued but satisfied vete rans and their friends. Hundreds of them have arranged to go to James town to put in a few days viewing the sights of the Exposition before scatter ing to their homes throughout the South. NINETY-FOUR YEARS OLD. We were shown a photograph today of aunt Eliza Dyer,aged 94 years. Eliza belongs to the aristocratic circle of ante-bellum darkies and is universally liked by all classes of our people. She is "too. old to work and too proud to beg." Mr. L.. II. Castex has interested himself in behalf of aunt Eliza and to help make her -declining days more joyous, he thought of the idea of hav ing her sit for a picture which she was to offer for sale.This she did and has already-sold one hundred of them at 25 cents each. When the picture was made she held a package of TJneeda Biscuit, a popular product of the Na tional Biscuit Co., in her lap, and when Mr. Castex wrote them and sent one of the photographs, explaining the situa tion, they af once sent a check for $5.00 to be applied as a contribution to her comfort. Mr. A. O. Clement made the pictures at actual cost and they are a perlect likeness. Aunt Eliza will be glad to receive a quarter from any kind person in exchange for a picture. She is worthy of your charity. Her post office address is Goldsboro, N. C, and she says the Lord is going to let her live six years longer, when she will be 100 years old. SHOCKING HOMICIDE.
