morning the festivities began with hun
dreds of soldiers parading the streets and
mingling with the people. Their hand-
some uniforms, mingled with the street
costumes of the many visitors in the city,
gave quite a metropolitan air. At every
hour of the day and evening the streets
were crowded with pretty women and
handsome men, having a light-hearted,
happy holiday time. The big features of
the week were the social functions, con-
certs, balls, receptions and impromptu af-
fairs.
Monday was 'the opening day of the fes-
tivities of the fifth annual reunion of
United "Confederate Veterans and encamp-
ment of the Texas volunteer guard in

Camp Culberson. This was the starting of

which has never been witnessed before.
Monday evening hundreds of couples
wended their way 'to the pavilion and spent
the hours dancing in response to sweet
music by the orchestra,

A BBAUTIFUL TRIBUTE.
There was a scene enacted at the recep-
tion of Miss Winnie Davis at the Capitol
hotel on Thursday which brought tears to
the eyes of many who witnessed it. Judge
Norman G. Kittrell had escorted his
mother and her grandmother (the latter
Mrs. Sarah W. Goree, who is in her 89th
year, and who had traveled more than 100
miles to attend the reunion, thirty miles
of the distance by private conveyance).
Mrs. Goree had five sons in the confederate
army, three in Hood's brigade, all of whom
came back wounded, While her eldest,
Major Thomas J. Goree, was on Long-
street's staff from Bull Run to Appomat-
tox, and Che fifth served in the trans-Mis-
sissippi department. Three of her sons
were here to meet her. She was most
graciously received by Mrs. Rice, and
her clear black eyes and placid but intelli-
gent face, set in a lace cap, the white rib-
bons of which fell over her black satin
dress of 'becoming pattern, made a picture
that attracted instant attention, and she
held a levee second only in proportion to
that of Miss Davis herself.
When Mrs. Goree was presented) to Mrs.
J. C. Hutcheson the latter at once led her
forward and presented her to Miss Davis,
who received her with the utmost grace
and cordiality. Turning for the while from
the hundreds thronging around her, she
bent low and held the hand of the vener-
able lady in both her own, and assured
Miss Angle, Miss Minnie Szafto. Miss Polly I her again and again of the pleasure she
Dn.vidsnn Misw Sniitp Ashp Mtus Rpssie I felt in meeting her. \V hen the last pres-

Three long tables beautifully decorated

consisted of the many good things to be had
in the markets.
The following ladles formed the press

to the Texas press association, in a truly
royal manner.

of Miss Davis to her lips and kissed it.
AVhereupon Miss Davis said: "Oh, no; it is
not for you to kiss my hand, but for me to
kiss yours," and still holding the thin hand
of the grandmother in hers she knelt to
the floor and kissed it tenderly and with a
caress well nigh holy—thus paying the
tribute of a noble woman to the mother
of live confederate soldiers. Such a scene
is worthy of the poet's pen and the ar-
tist's brush. Many an eye moistened as
the scene was so touchingly enacted,

A SERENADE.
This afternoon at 2 o'clock the beautiful
and commodious home of Mr. W. B. Chew,
on Fannin street and Dallas avenue, was
the scene of one of the pretty events of the
week. It was brought about through the
close friendship of Captain Charles Drown
of New Orleans and Mr. Chew, the instru
ment being the superb brass band that ac
companied the Washington artillery on
their visit here. It wes informal, and
was a serenade, tendered by the band for
Captain Drown,\ The broad balconies ex-
tending around the handsome edifice fur-
nished the space, and a number of the im-
mediate neighbors and friends of Mr. Chew
were called in and participated in the en-
joyment. After some well rendered choice
musical selections the guests enjoyed deli-
cious refreshments of a summery charac-
ter, and well adapted to the promotion of
the pleasure of such an occasion.

BURNET NOTES.
Burnet, Tex., May 24.—Word arrived to-
day that Burnet had secured a summer nor-
mal and that Prof. Rlchey, present princi-
pal of the Burnet high school, would be the
choice for conductor. It will open July 15,
closing August 16.
As predicted in The News some two weeks
ago, the commissiioners' court made an or-
der for a local option election to be held at
Burnet on June 4 next. The election will be
held for what ds known as the Burnet school
district, taking in a section of country
about 2x4 miles, including the town of Bur-
net The campaign is waxing warmer each
d-ay, and, to The News correspondent, the
outcome as to wet or dry seems doubtful.
In answer to an inquiry from Hon. A. S.
Walker, jr., member of the state democrat-
ic executive committee for this district, the
democratic county chairman will to-morrow
report the democracy of this county as fa-
voring a state convention of the party to
be held sometime this year for the purpose
of outlining the position of the Texas de-
mocracy on the silver question.
Commencement exercises of the Burnet
high schodl will be ushered In Sunday by a
sermon from Rev. J. A. Arbuckle, pastor
of the Baptist church here. The programme
oovers the period between then and June 1.
Gonzales, Tex., May 25.—Another very
hard rain visited this vicinity last night,
accompanied by wind and hail in some
localities. The rain while it lasted was
terrific, and the nail stones, though few,
were very large, but fortunately did little
or no damage. Reports from the north-
west of the city bring news of serious
damage to the corn crop in that section
of the country. Thv Aransas Pass rail-
road bridge over Plum creek has been
washed away, and the Guadalupe river
is higher than it has been for several
years. In the northwest part of the city
lightning struck a house and paralyzed
one of the occupants, but no further
damage Is reported.
IN KENDALL COUNTY.
Boerne, Kendall Co., Tex., May 22.—Tues-
day the upper part of this county and Kerr-
Ville were visited by a terrific hail and
rainstorm. Those who were in it describe
it as something fearful. The hail was as
large as hen's eggs, and so thick as to
render objects Invisible at a short distance.
The tops of the hills are white as if cov-
ered with snow throughout the section
over which the storm raged. The country
around Waring and Comfort and north to-
ward Kerrville suffered most. The corn
crop is completely ruined, the blades
being all stripped off and only a very
small part of the stalk left. Beautiful
fields of oats were leveled to the ground
and other damage done.
The train whk'h left San Antonio at fif-
teen minutes to 4 o'clock was stopped a lit-
tle beyond Ganahl because of one of the
bridges heing washed away, and it re-
mained there all ni.srht, returning to San
Antonio next day without reaching Kerr-
ville.
The storm, while extending over a wide
extent of dM not touch Boerne
and near neighborhood, but during the
night and early hours of Wednesday morn-
ing heavy rain fell, such 'as had not fallen
for years. All the streams are up, and
'that which would have been looked upon
as a godsend is tempered somewhat with
the thought of the desolation wrought by
it to many neighbors and friends.
HEAVY RAIN AT KYLE.
Kyle, Hays Co., Tex., May 24.—About 9
o'clock last Tuesday night a heavy rain
began to fall and continued 'through the
night; at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning
there was a rise of 15 feet In Blanco river;
about 6.30 o'clock this evening a very dark
cloud came up and it began raining and
rained for an hour and a half very hard,
with a little hail but not enough to do
any damage. The section foreman reports
several telegraph poles down north of the
station.
Several of the old veterans returned this
afternoon; others are visiting Galveston,
and will return to-morrow.
CROPS DAMAGED.
Wharton, Tex., May 25.—A pretty severe
rain and hall storm struck this place last
night about 8 o'clock lasting two hours.
The hailstones varied in size from a quail's
egg to that of a hen egg, the larger ones
only falling at intervals. The rainfall was
very heavy. The damage in this neighbor-
hood was very slight, but reports from the
lower part of the country say that the
hall was much severer than here, injuring
the corn and fruit some. At El Campo
sixteen light fAvere knocked out of the de-
pot windows and a calf killed.
REPAIRING DAMAGES.
Waelder, Gonzales Co., Tex., May 25.
Everybody Is busy to-day repairing houses
and fences damaged by last night's storm.
The wind was a twister and the rain came
down in torrents. Lightning struck and de
molished the chimney to the residence of
Mr. C. P. Hopkins. A tenant house owned
•by J. R. Hill was lifted from its founda-
tion and wrecked. The hail did much dam-
age to crops. Many farmers will have to
plant cotton over.
KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Kaufman, Tex., May 2o.TLightning
struck the residence of George King, five
miles north of here, this afternoon, In-
stantly killing Miss Mamie, the 10-year-old
daughter of Mr. King, and breaking the
right arm of Willie King, an 8-year-old
boy. The children were sitting on the
porch when the shock struck the house,
the boy's arm being broken by falling tim^
bers.
IN MASON COUNTY.
Mason, Tex., May 21.—One and one-hailf
•inches of rain fell yesterday afternoon
and last night. It is cool enough for
fire. A good corn crop is assured. There
was a severe hailstorm at Blue Stretch,
ajbout twelve miles from here, yesterday.
The blades were stripped from the corn,
fruit and gardens damaged.
BRAZOS RISING.
Columbia, Brazoria Co., Tex., May 25.—
This town was visited last night by a tre-
mendous thunder storm, accompanied by
rain and hail, lasting several hours. The
drouth Is now well broken, and all crops
are saved. The morning dawned perfectly
clear and good weather is prevalent. The
Brasos is rising.

Flatonia, Fayette Co., Tex., May 25.—The
heaviest rain of the season fell last night,
There was not much wind, but the lightning

hail, but not enough to do any damage.
The farmers now ask for a cessation in
order to get their crops worked out.
