MEMORIAL DAY AT PLATTEyILLE,
A Good Program well Carried out-.Judge
Carter's Grafton.

Saturday, the day set apart for the
observance of Decoration Day in Platte
vile, came in dark and gloomy, and
the committees having the arrange
ments in charge were discouraged and
feared that it would be impossible to
carry out tie program of exercises.
However, the people having the matter
IN charge kept right on, and ere they
had finished their decorating of the
cenotaph. the clouds. which had been
the cause of so many forebodings, had
entirely passed away and the day was
as pleasant as could have been desired
Long before noon a vast crowd had as
sembled in town, to lend by their pres
ence, respect to the memory of he
fallen heroes. At o'clock the church
bells rang out the time for the gather
ing of the citizens in the park to witness
the ceremonies. Shortly after the
Citizens Band led the G. A. r. Post
from their quarters to their position in
the park. There was large mum Der
of the "old boys in line, and as they
moved along with measured tread, one
could plainly realize that the cere-
monies in which they were taking part
meant more than mere formal show.
In the park the following progr am
OF exercises was carried out:
Music by the Citizens Band.
Introductory Remarks by Hon. j. v.
Holman.
Music by Prof. Gardeners Choir.
Prayer by Rev. Baker.
Music by the Band

Music by the Choir with Band Ac-
compartment.

thank Mr.. Howard Rhodes and Mr..
Harry Streeter, for the help they gave
them on Memorial Day. twas through
their kindness that they were able tc

The Grammar Department had rhet-
orical exercises on Thursday by about
half of the pupils selected from both
grades. Some we'll executed drawings
on the board. flowers and music added
attraction 10 the occasion; aud several
visitors showed an interest by their
presence. Friday p. NJ. the Second
Primary Department had their last
rhetorical exercise for the year in the
Chapel A large number of visitors
were present. and it was quite an IN
usual venture TO have every one of
large school Except one or two who
were omitted because of the lateness of
the hour) recite in strange room BE-
fore an audience. They, moreover, had
not had as good an opportunity for
rehearsing as was anticipated. Ia view
If all this it was to be expected that
there would be few slight failures
Nevertheless most Of the pupils did ex-
cellently, and considering the number
participating the exercises were credit
ably successful. II these pupils con-
tinue as good work in rhetoricals until
they reach the High School, 1t viii be
very easy and pleasant for them then.

THE TORY PLAN.
Comments on Premier Salisbury's
Turtle Soup Speech.


LONDON, Aug IL, IA. m.-[New York Herald
Cable-Special to the BEE.l-The Post com
menting on Lord Salisbury's banquet speech,
draws this fine distinction: Coercion in the
exceptional sense of the word he does hint
at. Coercion in the sense of enforcing the
ordinary law and denying an illegitimate
scope to agitation is in strict accord with the
mandate with which the government may
fairly claim to have received from the
country" .-.,. -.
The Telegraph thinks that Salsbury's de-
claraton about Ireland seems to imply that
both as regards the eXtenton OF local gov
ernment and the amendment of the land
laws the Irish people could afford to wait and
that there was really not very pressing
question demanding instant treatment
beyond the question of securing the liberty
of the individual. ,.
The Times rejoces that Lord Salisbury
sees his duty in restoring social order in
Ireland more clearly than he saw it year
ago. The Times interprets the phrase
"restoration of social order," as the deliver
ance of classes and individuals in Ireland
from the restraints on their lawful liberty
The Daily News says the Irish members
cannot be expected to acquiesce in his policy
of mere negation and defiance. The News
defines his phrase want of social order" as
meaning want of more soldiers, more
police, more sailors and more hangmen."
''rhe only effect of such doctrines upon
lrishmen," adds the News, 80 far as it is
not of one more evaporation, will be to
convert them from home rulers into re-
pealers."

A sroCK YARDS STRIKE.
Packing House Men Refuse TO Load
Lake shore Cars


CHICAGO, August l2.-lSpccial Telegram
to the BEE, Between two hundred and
three hundred meat handlers in the packing
house of Robert Warren ~ Co. at the stock
yards quit work at o'clock this morning.
The reason assigned is that they were re-
quired to load cars handled by imported
switchmen. Ever since the strike of the
Lake Shore switchmen trouble has been ex-
pacted from the men in the packing houses,
who were regarded as natural allies of the
strikers. The employees of several packing
houses have given their employers to under
stand that they would not handle Lake
Shore freight or load cars of that COM
pany. No attempts were made to
load such cars at the Warren house
until this morning, when half dozen empty
beet cars were run up to the house and the
men ordered to load them. The refused pre-
emptorily and threatened 10 strife If the
order was renewed. The firm again ordered
the cars loaded and the men stopped work
Ing and went out OF the house. The news of
the strike In the stock yards caused great ex-
ctement and rumor was circulated that
some of llateley Bros employees had quit
work for the same reason. This was found,
upon investigation, to be untrue The action
of Warren ~ Co. s employees Is likely to pre-
cpitate n general strike as the men employed
in other houses are said to be ready to strike
If they are asked TO load Lake Shore cars or
have anthing to do with the "scab'' switch
men who took the strikers places.
II have ordered my house closed" said
Robert Warren. 1--WE sold out our hogs that
we bought this morning and have closed
down. There Is no money in running, and
now the men can have all the strike they
Mexico we would get some protection, but in
the town of Lake we get none"
