Memorial Honors to the Nations
Dead,

Dead.
Never since an annual memorial day
was instituted in honor of the dead sol
dicrs of the country was the day more Ap-
propriately and impressively observed in
Bellefonte than on last Monday. Gregg
Post, No. 90, Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, had taken timely action to make the
ceremonies of the day successful, as well as
interesting, TO .hose who should take part
in them, and the members of the Post are
to be congratulated upon the perfection Of
their arrangements and the fitting manner
in which they were carried out
1t may be said thatthe memorial honors
really began on Sunday, by sermon de-
ivcred to the Post by Rev. John Hewitt,
of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Be-
tween fifty and sixty members Of the Post
marched to the church in body, occupy
ing number of pews set apart for them.
A large congregation was present, and the
services throughout were of an impressive
ly interesting character. In connection
with the usual Sunday morning service of
the church, tho rector read for the lessons
Of the day the thirty-sccond chapter Of
Genesis and the sixth chapter Of Ephcs-
ians, taking for his text the lst, 2nd and
part Of the 7th verses of tho chapter read
from the Old testament, in these words
l.
the angels OF God met him"
.. "A.d when Jacob saw them, he said,
This is Gods host and he cal cd the name
Of that place Mahanaim."
t. land he divided the people
that was with him into two
bands"
From these words Mr.. Hewitt drew an
instructive and deeply impressive lesson
between the living and the dead hosts
that wen, to battle for the preservation Of
the government The angels OF God met
them and they were divided into two
bands, that II one band fell the other
nigh; be preserved We cannot attempt
n further synopsis Of this able and eloquent
sermon at this time, expecting, through
the kindncss Of Mr. Hewitt, to lay II before
the readers Of the DENocRAr in full neat
week. II Is sufficient for the present 70
say that the discourse throughout was e1-
ccedingly appropriate and edifying.
On Monday morning, those good friends
Of the Post, tho ladies, ever sc;ivc and
willing In good works, we're promptly on
hand, furnishing an abundant supply Of
fresh flowers snd arranging them with
their fair, def hands into beautiful
wrea,hs and boquets. II would be great
pleasure 10 give the names Of all the fair
contributors but they are 80 numerous that
a want Of space comPels US 10 omit them.
The programme arranged by the Pos.
fixed the hour FOR the assembling Of tho
various organizations taking par, in tho
ceremonies A. four o'clock =. n, and
promptly 8. that hour all appeared in the
square In front Of the Court House. The
line was formed under the direction Of Ad-
iu,ant Benner, and then turned over 70

r. Harris, who acted a. Chief Marshal.

AT THE CEMETERY.

As the head of the column wheeled into
the entrance Of the cemetery the time was
changed to slow step-the band playing
dead march and the military company
reversing arms. With slow, measured
tread the column marched up the main
avenue of the city Of the dead and wheel.
ing to the left proceeded TO the burial lot
of the Hale family, around which hollow
square was formed, preparatory to the ex-
ercises Of the day.
The decoration exercises in the cemetery
began with the beautiful ritual of the
Grand Army Of the Republic for the dec.
oration of four special graves, The object
Of the assemblage was stated by the Post
Commander and was followed by prayer
by Rev. DE Long. Comrades Keller, Ir-
win, Love and RANKIN then, in the order
named, decorated the four graves, each re-
peating the solemn and appropriate words
Of the ritual.
Al the conclusion Of this ceremony came
the general decoration of the graves of all
the soldiers, "lying 80 quiet BY night and
by day." In The cemetery. A magnificent
floral cross that stood ct the centre of one

The annual memorial 10 the dead sol
diers was observed with appropriate ccre-
monies at Curtin's Works on last Saturday

Not long ago we published the statement
that several colored children had been re-
fused admission to one of the public schools
in Pike township, and that no school facili-
ties had been provided for them. Now an
other similar outrage has been perpetrated
on colored children, at the Mankedeck school
house, short distance south of the city.
Two small children of Mr.. Cain Leonard, a
colored man, who lives but few rods from
that school house, have been attending the
school much to the disgust of one Adams,
and two or three other Negro hating Demo-
Gratis of that neighborhood. These repre-
sentatives of Southern ideas stated their
grievances to Township Trustee Harvey, and
demanded that these colored children be
dismissed from the school, but Mr.. Harvey,
recognizing the inhumanity of forcing these
little children to walk more than two miles
over bad roads to colored school, refused
to acceede to their demands. They then APP
pealed their case to County Superintendent
Harlan, who, after hearing testimony in the
case, pretends to have interpreted the school
laws in such manner as to justify himself

They Borrowed n Dog to

dog and as neither party owned a dog, Bell

The sportsmen knew that Collins would be
wrathy if they returned without his dog, so
after shooting few birds which refused to
get out of their way, they morched into
louisville to hunt the dog. The greater
part of the day was spent in hunting the dog

the dog was, which he did, and located him
up stairs in building where one of the le-
gal fraternity who has hankering after
dogs, had locked him up. They aimed

sportsmen against borrowing dogs, especially
this dog. Perhaps Emanuel set up job on

Political JOts.

With two voting precincts in every ward
and some of the wards having three, all those
fellows who have been longing to get on an
election board will now have a chance to get
in their works.
John Stewart, of the post office, was an
enthusiastic and hard worker for the party in
the last national campaign, and John has a
good many friends who think that when
crumbs OF comfort in the way of promotions
are being scattered around, it would be moth
ing more than right to give him: "a show.
Considerable speculation is going On as to
whom the next Republican candidates on our
county ticket will be. We don't pretend to
know who they will be, but colored men of a
political turn Of mind should throw their
influence in favor of men who will not forget
the colored voters after the election is over.
Keep that in view all the time.

in rendering decision for the dismissal of
the pupils from the school 1t should be re-
membered, however, that Supt. Harlan is Of
the same politics as those who objected to
colored children attending the school, and
while h. has generally been considered a
pretty fair kind OF a Democrat, a great many
people are OF the opinion that has interpre-
tation of the school laws on this point, is
one peculiar to Democratic SuperiDtendents
1t is a matter of history in this county, at
least during the present school year, that
where objection to colored children attend
ing any school has been raised and the
children excluded, the objection has been
made by Democrats and the order for their
dismissal came from either Democratic
Trustee or Superintendent.
In the above named case, an appeal has
been taken to the State Superintendent, and
his decision which will be rendered in a few
days, is anxiously awaited by the colored
people especially.
Capt. ID. A. Harvey, our Township Trustee,
deserves great deal OF praise for the manly
position he took in refusing to dismiss these
little children from the school.

At about o'clock Sunday morning the
denizens at the vicinity of Meridian and
Georgia streets were startled by loud crash

quake, or the firing of broadside from man.
of-war. Closer inv,sti cation revealed the
fact that the large building occupied by F.
Stout d Son, whole sale grocers, had fallen
in. The fire department was soon on the
scene and in short time extinguished a
right smart blaze that started up from the
wreck. There was for some time considera-
bic doubt as to the cause OF the disaster, but
the generally accepted theory is that fire
originated in the uppermost story burning
the joists in two and letting the floor fall.
The great weight falling so suddenly upon
the other floor caused the whole To be pre-
cipitated into the cellar. There was 5000 0
insurance on building and stock, which will
however not be paid unless it is conclusively
proven that the direct canse of the disaster
was fire.

u. w. Hess 81 Co.

Recognizing the fact that the holiday trade
of this season would be unusually heavy, j.
w. Hess & Co. have prepared themselves to
meet the emergency. They also recognize
the fact there is large class of our citizens
who are not able to purchase costly presents
vet they desire to present their children, rel
atives or friends some token of their love,
friendship or respect, as the case may be.
Messrs. Hess & Co. have placed upon their
counters, goods suited to all leases of pur-
chasers. With 25c or soc you can buy a
very handsome present. You can also pur-
chase as costly "a present as you may desire.
Their line of handkerchief excel any stock
ever displayed in this city. They are of all
styles and prices and purchasers cannot fail
of being satisfied. Various other articles
not costly but suitable for presents may be
seen in abundance at this emporium of trade
The public will bear in mind that whether
they wish to purchase or not, cordial invi-
tation is extended them to call, and polite
clerks will take pleasure in showing the
goods. For the benefit of those who cannot
do their shopping in the daytime, and all
others who wish to come, Mr.. Hess will next
