DECORATION DAY.

The celebration Of Decoration Day in
this city yesterday was q grand success.
The Jay vas wa,m AID beautiful, and
nothing occurred to mar the execution
of the programme. which had been
carefully prepared by the comrades of
Stevens Post. G. R.
At / o'clock the procession formed
on Front street, in the following order:
Grand Marshal. Major F. W. Blake and
aids. Pacific Coruet Band, Department
Commander aud staff, Colors draped in
mourning, Stevens Post. G. A. r., and
guests, Post Chaplain. Orator and Poet
OF the day, Car bearing children repre-

ries of the Union, Seattle Fire Company
in uniform. Mayor and Common Coun-
Gil. Odd Fellows. and Sunday Schools
OF our yariou. churches, followed by
citizens on loot, on horseback and in
carriages. Taking up the line of march,
they soon reached the beautiful Uni
versity grounds. where the exercises
| took place. After the vast concouYse Of
people there assembled were called to
order by the Department Commander.
the report of the Decoration Committee
was read, stating that the graves of the
Union soldiers in oar variou4 ce,nete-
ries bad been decorated and strewn
| with flowers
A ferv-nt prayer was then offered up
by the chaplain, Rev. j. F. Ellis.
Department Commander Sparkling then
introduced the venerable Major Gene
Fable X. II. Milroy. Of Olympia, who
read short but eloquent address, which
was heartily received. After beauti-
full air by the band. Prof G. b. Plum.
mcr was introduced and recited Will
Cartons poem, Cover Them Over

style. Col. Prosser. of the Second Ten

be published but for want of space.
The orstion Of Sergeant W. II. White
was then delivered. 1t was one Of the
finest efforts of bis life, and would do
credit to any man living. The speaker
was out -and.out in his Union sentiments,
and denounced in the ssverest manner
the efforts Of the rebel brigadiers IN
Congress to block the wheels # gov

who heard him. We would willingly
give space to his Grafton entire. but the

At the close Of the address. which
was enthusiastically received, Rev j.
L. Ellis pronounced tao henediction.
and the vast nssemblage disbursed to
their respective homes.
Taken altogether, the first observance
in Seattle Of Memorial Day was grand
affair, and one Of which the managers
may we'll he proud. 1t was much like
"a celebration Of the glorious Fourth Of
July, leaving out the Declaration of
Independence and the use of gunpov-
der. Our citizens will long remember
it. and will look for its annual recur-
renee with unfeigned delight

4 FEARFUL WARSINo.-Pennsylva.
MIA will in all probability witness at no
distant day another hideous spectacle
this time the hanging OF six men. the
murderers of Joseph Raber. The con-
demned persons are residents OF Indian
town Gap, wild region among the
mountains of the Blue Ridge, in tie
northern part Of Lebanon county. They
induced y life insurance agent to issue
policies aggregating $1,000 on the life
OF pennies, and friendless old man.
aud they soou af.erward killed the old
mai by choking him to death in a shall
low brook. The evidence satisfied the
jury of the guilt Of the accused. The
hanging Of these men will add six more
to the lengthening list of persons who
have persisted on the sallows for taking
life in order TO defraud life insurance
companies.

Commenting on an item published in
the SENTINEL, to the effect that the resi-
dents Of Poverty Gulch wanted the name
Of that highway changed to Ruby Hill
avenue, tho Virginia "Chronicle'' says:
We regret that an o~ld-established news
paper like the SENTINEL should give coun-
tenance TO these new-fangled innovations
in the nomenclature Of localities. Why
rob the coast OF its characteristic names +?
What pioneer does not feel his heart grow
warmer, and have IN inclination to scratch
himself at the mere mention of Shirt-tail
Canyon? Does he not experience a touch
Of old-time enthusiasm at a reference TO
Murderer's Bar and Hangtown? Ruby
Hill avenue, indeed? Poverty Gulch
knocks it cold when it comes to sentiment.
Call it Whisky Ravine, Road Agents Gull

ring in any avenue on the boys.

Prcventatives Of Lead Collie.

The medical gentleman who edits the
Leadville Eclipse" prescribes as follows j:
''If working in lead, wash the hands sew
eral times a day in a strong decoction Of
oak bark. Keep the hair short, and, if a
painter, wear a clean cloth cap. The
clothes should be frequently washed, and
the hands also, especially before touching
food. Before eating, the moutl, should be
rinsed with cold water. A weak oak bark
decoction should be used as a wash several
tunes a week. The body should be sponged
night and morning with cold or tepid
water, and the body thoroughly washed
every evening after work. The food should
contain a large proportion Of fatty sub
stances, and milk should be taken in large
quantities."

Action Of the Relief Committee.

A meeting Of the full Relief Committee
was called to meet at the Courthouse Mon
day evening, but only two or three mem
bers put in their appearance, and nothing
was done. The Executive Committee then
decided to take prompt action, and close
up their work. at least so far as it could be
done at present, and they met in the
Courthouse yesterday afternoon. The
provisions and groceries. stored in the
Court house, we're sold to the highest bid
der, and Henry Kind secured the lot for
$625. Hereafter orders will be given to
parties needing provisions, and they will
thus be enabled to purchase such articles
rs they may need, instead of taking any,
thing the Committee may have to give.
The Executive Committee will meet at l
o'clock Tuesday afternoon next, at the
Courthouse. and thereafter once weekly,
and all applications for relief must be con-
sidered by the full Committee before being
granted. Applications can, however, be
made to any of the members.

The New "Tiger" saloon Nearly
COmpleted

ooAOOm Ne0TIy
Completed.
Joe Mendes has made no halfway lob Of
his new Tiger saloon, and judging from
the size and general arrangements Of the
building, he has unlimited faith in the
future Of this camp. 1t is 100 feet long by
rs feet wide, and from the sidewalk to the
top Of its ornamental front is 80 feet. The
first story is 16 feet four inches in height,
and the second IL feet seven inches. A
fine redwood verands covers the Main
street sidewalk. To the right Of the main
entrance q neat apartment will be arranged,
which will be used by Mr.. Albert Rosen-
helm as a cigar stand, and Immediately in
the rear Of this is the bar, which will con-
tain all the conyeniences that human in
genuity could possibly suggest. The stair
way is in the same place as the one for
merly in the old saloon, and Prof. Plum
hof and his orchestra will have their plat
form under IL, instead OF in tho rear OF
the hall, as heretofore. This places him
almost in the center OF the bail, and will
enable all present to hear the music with
almost equal facility. The remainder Of
the room will be taken up with chairs and
tables, and several hundred persons can
be comfortably seated. There is an orna-
mental redwood wainscoating, about five
feet high, on the walls of the first floor,
and the upper portion will be covered with
paper Of a new and tasteful design.
The upper portion was thrown open to
the public on Monday night, and now con-
tains a bar, and the usual games Of chance
will be run nightly. The building is the
largest in town, barring Odd Fellows Hall,
and both its exterior and interior arrange
ments are pleasing to the eye, and every
thing that could possibly tend to the com
fort and enjoyment of its ~frequenters has
been provided by its energetic proprietor.
The old Tiger" was always a ~favorite re-
sort, but its successor will start under
more favorable auspices, and with a greater
patronage than it ever enjoyed in its
palmiest days.
