Memorial Service

On Sunday last the members of
George III. Legate Post G. A. r.. of
this city attended divine service at
Trinity church, and listened to a
memorial sermon delivered by the
rector, Rev. M. Chase. The day be-
ing Whitsun Day the altar and 9TH
er parts of the church were appro-
priately decorated with flowers. A
beautiful cross composed of blue
violets, with a Gala for center rose
from the baptismal fount. The SER
vices were opened by singing the
familiar hymn Onward Christian
Soldiers" after which came the
reading Of morning prayer, and the
singing of an anthem appropriate
to the day. Immediately before
the sermon that grand old patri-
otto hymn "God Bless Our Native
Land" was heartily rendered by the
choir, minister and congregation.
The sermon was an able and very
appropriate one. The preacher said
that the calling or vocation of a
soldier was not incompatible with
true christian character and cited
numerous names and instances
to show that the bravest of the brave
are very often faithful and true
christians as well as true soldiers.
He dwelt upon the elements which
constitute the character of true
soldier, and when he alluded to the
fact that these elements were possess
ed in high degree by the brave
soldier and great general who has
been for days and weeks patiently
battling with a cancerous affiiction,
he touched a responsive chord in
the heart of every one who heard
him, clearly showing that the senti-
ments to which the preacher gave
utterance had been well and wisely
chosen.
The custom of the observance
of Memorial Sunday is now full
ly established, and it is to be
hoped that the beauty and grandeur
of its services viii increase year by
year, as it belongs to no sect or
creed, but commentaries an event
in our country's history which
stands forth as one Of the grandest
triumphs in the cause of human
liberty.

The Sunday school convention of
the Platteyille district of the M. E.
church, met according to announce
ment at the M. Y. church in this
! city.
Tuesday evening Rev. John Steele,
Of Montfort, gave very interesting
lecture on the Aztecs and their con-
querors.
On Wednesday morning business
items were attended to, when an adj
mirable paper on Church Music was
read by Rev. Robert Burnip, of Lin
den, which vas followed by a fine
line of discussion. The idea was
reached that the music of the Sun
day school was vastly improved by
the more recent composers.
A fine paper was presented by
Rev. G. A. Joslyn on the Teachers
Sacrifice and Reward. 1t was ele-
gantly written and eloquently dc
livered. The discussion resolved
itself into q love feast, and settled
the fact that to many the self-denial
of the Sunday school work was not
sacrifice.
Dir. J. II. Wingender presented a
very able paper on the aim and
scope of the opening and closing ex-
ercises of the school. 1t was remark
ed by the preachers that he opened
to them the ritualistic work of the
school in new light The paper is
to be. published.
In the afternoon Robert Osborne
led in discussion of the Superin-
tendent as a creator of enthusiasm in
the teacher.
Rev. John Steele gave an account
of the G. l.. c., and also i'll regard
to preparing the lesson, and the
teachers meeting. This was followed
by reports of superintendent of
schools.
At 4:15 Miss Lizzie Bishop gave
a charming entertainment in teach
ing her infant class. Miss Bishop
has no superior as an infant class
teacher.
In the evening q mass meeting
was held in the auditorium address
ed by Rev. J. B. Bickford of Dodge
vile, who touched many a heart
with his appeals concerning the val
ue of training in Righteousness.
Rev. Robt. Burnip spoke on the
value Of character and the agencies
in the formation.
Rev. E. E. Clough at the close
exhorted rybody to come to Sun
day school.
Uusal complimentary resolutions
were past.
Miss Amy Hutchinson organist of
of the Sunday school organized a
chorus of young ladies who gave
some excellent music.
The convention was pronounced
success.
There are on this district fifty-six
NJ. e. Sunday schools, with 1890
scholars and teachers, which is sure
ly an excellent showing.
The next convention Will be held
in Montfort.

was not a criminal elopement, but rather
a scheme to obtain i valuable property, a
weak and foolish woman being led into
the plot. BY many it was believed that
Mrs. Freel had either committed suicide
or persisted in the mountains. Indeed.
preparations were being made for a sys-
tematic search of the mountains and had
the woman's dead body been found Wild
Freel would surely have ornamented a
tree. 1t is indeed a marvel that Mrs.
Freel survived the hardship and expos
ure, but at last accounts she was conya-
lescing from the effects of her wanderings
in the wilds- The elopement created a
great sensation in the region where it oc-
Cured and is generally known throughout
the adjacent country. Its happy ending
is a pleasure to all and it is hoped that
Wild Freel will wisely continue to remain
in some terra ~incognita.

FEAST
Spread for the Lovers of the Good. the
True and the Beautiful.

True and the Beautiful.
To those vino are fond of beautiful and
valuable books, and rich steel engravings
and engravings ON wood of beau
tifal drawings and etchings, a visit to the
rooms of Mr.. Charles Wesley, 370l Six
teenth street, the office of DIR. w. A. Wy
man, is a real feast. \ LEADER reporter
called there yesterday and made a cursory
examination Of Mr.. Westley's collection.
He is a general subscription agent for
illustrated and fine art works and the best
line of books published. He has two
large book cases filed with specimens, and
these works cover the whole range of ro-
nance, poetry, historical, scientific and
general literature. Among these arc
Spoffords Library of Choice Literature,
and the Library of Wit and Humor from
the same author. Mr.. Spoiford has been
many years the librarian OF congress and
has had unusual facilities for compiling
the cream, as it were. of all contemporary
literature. Mr.. Wesley has also the.
American C~yclopedia, which presents a
panoramic view of all human knowledge
that Is written; Mark Twain's complete
works; picturesque Egypt. a grandly
illustrated history of Rome; superb family
Bibles OF the grandest pictorial editions;
fine art works; the illustrations by Gus
tave Dore, such as Dante's Inferno,
Purgatory and Paradise, Millions
Paradise Lost. Don Quixote, La
F~ontaineS Fables, Poe's Raven,
Alfalfa, Arabian Nights and Adven-
lures of Baron Munchausen. Among the
portfolios of engravings are the master
pieces Of French and German art and the
Gallery OF Contemporary Art, with nu-
merous other works of a like character.
Indeed, there is nothing in good literature
or illustrations Of art which Mr.. Wesley
does not possess the control of in behalf
of persons who desire to secure such
works, He is also the sole agent in
Wyoming for the Life Of Gen. Grant,
that is to say, his autobiography or per
sonal memoirs. the book which is to-day
the most popular in the world. In this
connection it may not be out of the way
to mention the fact that a great many
people have lately been misled in
subscribing for a book written by outsid-
ers, which agents have been working for,
thinking that they are getting Gen.
Grants book. Some have discovered
their error and have cancelled their sub
scnptions, but many will receive the work
and pay for it, and discover their error too
late. The book that Mr.. Wesley repre-
sents is the Personal Memoirs Of U. s.
Grant" written by the old hero himself
No one else in Wyoming has authority to
take subscriptions for it but Mr.. Wesley,
and it will not be for sale except on sub
scription.

One of the penalties of an o~ver-indulged
fondness for cigars is a miserable heart
burn. and doubtless there are thousands
of readers of THE LEADER who will be
glad to read the following from Blakely
Hall in the San Francisco 1rgondm. lie
was visiting a man in the custom house
whose business it was to examine the mil
lions OF cigars which arrive every day.
Hall says of that officer. He smokes
from fifteen to twenty FIVE cigars u day
and he gave me a recipe for heartburn
which | do not thing is generally known.
Very many smokers suffer from this dis
t%ressing form OF dyspepsia after having
INDUCED in a cigar or two too many. |
have often been hit pretty hard myself
that way, and have often absorbed vast
quantities of bismuth, pepsin, baking
sodl, carbonic water, Rhine wine and
settler, and the various other remedies
which have been suggested from time to
time. asked the cigar man in the APP
praiser's Office if he was ever troubled
with heartburn, and he shook his head
gloomily.
at is an awful penalty for too much
smoking, and lots of men have it because
they don't know of a very simple and
pleasant remedy.
What is the remedy | asked.
This, he said, dramatically. II am
suffering from heartburn. hold out my
left hand thus, knock some of the ashes
off the cigar into the palm of my hand,
allow it to get cool, touch my tongue to
the ashes, and, presto the heartburn is
gone. You look as if you don't believe
it, but it is an unfailing and accurate
remedy. There is hardly a smoker in
Europe who is not acquainted with it.
and | have never explained it to an
American in my life but that he was sur
prised.
