The good people of Hartford yester
day dedicated the memorial arch which
they have erected to the memory of the
soldiers and sailors of the late war.
The arch is very artistic piece of
work and will be highly ornamental to
the city-much more so than a monu-
ment. A memorial free bridge across the
Potomac would also be a very striking
ornament to the city Of Washington,
and nothing could be more appropriate.
1t would combine sentiment with com.
mon sense, and the memory of those to
whom it was erected would be more
thoroughly perpetuated in this way
than by cenotaph or obelisk.

THE one hundredth anniversary of
the adoption of the Federal Constitu-
lion will be celebrated at Philadelphia
in September Of next year, upon the
plan outlined by the Governors of the
Colonial States who met yesterday to
consider the matter. According to this
plan, delegates from all the States and
Territories will meet in the Quaker
City ON the Sd of December next to
perfect a permanent organization, AMI
Congress will be asked to lend its
countenance TO the project. Two years
later the centennial of the Inauguration
of the first President under the Consti-
tuition, which marks the real beginning
of Constitutional Government in this
country, will be celebrated in Wash
ington. The preliminary commemora.
tion at Philadelphia can be made a
valuable accessory to this greater Ma
tional anniversary, and the grander its
success, the greater will be that Of the
opening OF the Centennial Exposition.

ORANGE, n. J., October 4.-Mrs. Lucy
Parsons, wife of the convicted Chicago
Anarchist, lectured in Central:Hall here
this afternoon, despite the refusal of w.
H. Lamiter, proprietor, to allow her to
occupy the hall. Mrs. Parsons arrived
about O'Clock in company with Frank
Schultz, East Orange Anarchist. The
door was locked and Mr.. Lamiter had
placed himself inside the room. Schultz
and Mrs. Parsons burst open the door
and entered the hall, followed by a
number of persons. Lamiter rushed
out of side room and forbade them to
enter. Finding they would not leave,
he secured 3 gun and placed ii in
the hands of young man named Felt,
telling him not TO let the crowd in. He
then ran to the station house and Sc
cured the services of four policemen.
In the meantime Mrs. Parrons had
called q crowd numbering about 200
into the hail. When the officers arrived
and found that Mrs. Parsons held 8
receipt for the rent Of the hall, they
declined to interfere. Mrs. Parsons
then proceeded with her lecture, which
was the same as delivered in New
York and other cities3 At its conclusion
a small collection was taken up. There
was no disturbance.

said further, that he would tell the
truth on the lake front next Sunday il

He added that when the time comes, 1

radical as necessary.
