Torrance Of the work Of building the

bring suit, The Board did not answer
Captain Doyener's communication, and
yesterday Mr., Chisholm asked for con.
terence with them, and Mr.. Chisholm
and a quorum OF tho Board met at the
City Building In the afternoon and
talked the matter over,
They decided 10 divide the expense 81

natl, a well known hydraulic engineer
and superintendent Of water works con-
struCion, to come to this city and make
an examination OF the new reservoir,
and report to them jointly who is "a
blame for the bad condition OF the basin,
Neither said anything which would
ieopaIdize interpretations no matter what
Mr.. Hornung may report,
Mr., George Hornung Is an engineer Of
more than ordinary ability, and his OPT
MON ia worth much, He hGs been called
in consultation on Several OF the largest
| jobs in his line, in the country, and hai

CHICAGO, H., May 80. Decoration Day
in Chicago was marrcd by an unusual
scene growing out Of III feeling between
rival iaciionsoi old soldiers In Oakwood

arranged that the decoration services we're
TO be under the charge Of the Grand Army.
and special care was taken 10 protect their
rights, rs two years ago the Old Soldiers'
and Sailors Association had taken posses

by the Grand Army that the Old Sol.

whom They cannot associate, even in dong

the Grand Army men was unloading It's

Grand Army guard had been placed
around tie Soldiers Home plat, Capt w.

was roundly applauded for her creditaN's
effort. Miss Laura Martin recited the
scholar and the World" with spirit and
grace, and pleased her audience so well as
10 win her double encore.
Miss Amy Meter was the salutatorian,
and her essay was worthy OF herself, which
is saying much. Miss Meter carried off
first honors in her class and is undoubtedly
q young lady OF brilliant natural gifts, i'm
proved by careful study Her essay was
u very creditable piece of work, and fully
vindicated her title to the distinction she
has chieved in her class.
The class recitation "Casket of Opals"
was very well rendered, and evidenced
careful and skillul training. similar
verdict is due TO the class songs. Miss
Lewellyn, the teacher of elocution, and
Miss Lydia Creighton. musical instructor
ut the High School, are both to be con-
graduated upon the triumph achieved by
thcirpupiis last night The public, the high
est tribunal in such matters, was satisfied
and pleased beyond expression, and it is
pleasant to note that such splendid re-
suits are within the reach OF all who
choose TO apply. The great body OF the
people are heart and soul in sympathy
with the public schools, and it was n sub
jet OF general congratulation last night
that the public schools OF Memphis could
make so splendid q showing.
