THE MORNING SERVICES.
The Graves Literally Covered
With Flowers.


The graves IN Lakewood cemetery
were decorated under the direction OF
Bryant, Norton, Morgan, Butler,
Sehaefer and RawlIns posts. j. n.
Force was marshal of the day, and he
was assisted by Capt. Keely, chairman
of the general committee. In addition
to the 500 or go old soldiers, there were
a number of bands. drum corps. de-
tachmentS of Sons OF Veterans and Re-
lief Corps. One hundred appropriately
dressed little girls also lent a helping
hand. When the decorations were over.
the soldiers assembled at the u. \. X.
lot and formed in a hollow square. Rev.
DIR. j. Higgins delivered a prayer
and the soldiers sang America"
after which Rev. d. s. McCasiin,
of the Bethlehem Presbyterian church.
preached a touching sermon. taking for
his subject IAN Unknown Grave" re-
ferring especially TO Moses and the
great Gothic warrior Alaric. When he
had concluded the customary salute
was fired over the graves, and then
Chaplain PilSbury pronounced the ben
edictiOn. There We're also burial Serv-
ices over the graves of Gen. George y.
Morgan and Capt. Jacob Schaefer, con-
Quoted by the respective posts. Over
the grave of Gen. Morgan Hon. j. l..
Coffin delivered al appropriate and elO-
Quent address.
The services over Capt. Schaefer's
grave were conducted in German, Rev.
Albert DAILY, of the Lutheran church,
preaching the sermon. There were no
special services held by the James Bry-
ant and l.. p. Plummer posts, but
salutes were fired.
Layman'S cemetery resembled
flower garden, and floral decorations
were almost knee-deep. The decora-
tons there were placed under the di-
rectiOn of the AppOmattOx post, the
Rollins Camp Sons of Veterans and the
ladies of the Lincoln Circle. The forces
were under the charge of J. ID. Mead
ows, who had them at the graves as
early as $50. The invocation was de-
livered by Rev. c. E. HixOn and the
general address by Rev. j. B. Hingely.
After the Grafton came vOlley from the
muSkets of the Sons of Veterans, who
fired over the graves.
The services as the Catholic cemetery
were interesting and impressive. The
William Downs Post, WOman's Relief
Corps. Camp l.. l.. Lorn. Sons Of Veter-
ans, and the Hibernian Rifles held serv-
ices there, Rev. Z. 5. Casey officiating
and delivering splendid address. The

lsh sang selections, and at the conclu-
sion of the services the soldiers fired a

cred the address.

ALL WANT TO BE UsHERs.
This Laudable Ambition Actuates
Thousands, Young and Old.

This Laudable Ambition Actuates
Thousands, Young and Old.
Five thousand applications for posi-
tons as usherS and doorkeepers i'll the
convention, and each individual appli-
cant has golden reason why he should
be appointed. Enough to make Ser
geant-at-Arms Meek dream that he has
been turned into an Old-fashIoned bal
lot box i'll precinct where stuffing the
ballot boxes goes" isn't it?
Every gray-bearded man whose de-
light 1t Is To boast, 81 vote as shot;"
every beardless youth who aSpires to
become statesman. every mlddle-aged
man who wants to pose as ambitious to
serve his city in her hour of need and at
the same time make dollar or two,
every man who dreams of one day tell
ing his curly-headed grandchildren
about THAT day in the Minneapolis con-
Vention of 49," etc., wants II he an
usher or dOOrkeeper. Will all their
wants be gratified? Not exactly. Be-
tween 600 and 700 places only are to be
hlled, and many OF the men to fill them
are coming from every state in the
union.
But Meek is not worrying. The men,
berS of the executive committee are the
men who are being harrassed. Col.
Meek is not the kind of man to let lit
tie thing like that worry him. He will
receive all these applications from the
executive committee. and he will pick
out the men he wants.
Col. Meek's idea as to the sort of men
to be employed as ushers and door
keepers is different from some. He
wants young men. light of foot and
swift in the legs. He wants men who
can run up and down stairs and keep
the crowd moving without allowing the
aisles to become crowded. And as Col.
Meek is the man who has the say, he
will probable get that sort of men.

PLANS OF ULSTER MEN.
They Would Resist Home Rule to
the Point of War.

BELFAST, May 3O.-The Telegraph
publishes the proposed plan of resist
ance to the mandates of an Irish parla-
ment, should such body be established.
The article was written by prominent
Irish UniOnist. 1t says that the men Of
Ulster will not allow elections to occur.
The election writS will be publicly
burned by the sheriffs of counties and
the mayor of Belfast Immediately they
are received. Judges and magistrates
taking their commissions from the new
executive bill not be recognized. The
police force will be reorganized with
special constables sworn to replace the
regular police. The queens taxes will
be paid. but taxes levied by the Dublin
parliament will not be paid. The Gus
tom house will be seized and held until
the question is settled. Continuing, the
article says: In the event of war the
North will be in better position. both
as regards credit and geographical posi-
ton. than the South. Belfast is unas-
sailable. while Dublin is open to direct
and immediate attack.

BOUND AND ROBBED.
Wisconsin Burglars Abuse an Old
Couple.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 3O.-A bold
robbery was committed at an early hour
this morning at the home of Florian
Roth, about eight miles southwest of
this city. At o'clock Roth was awak-
ened by noise at his bedroom window.
He started TO rise from his bed. but be-
fore lie could get up man jumped in
the window and, covering him with
revolver. told him not to move. A
second later another burglar jumped
through the open window and pointed
a pistol at Mrs. Roth, who had been
sleeping by the side of her husband.
One of the men started to bind :. Mr..
and Mrs. Roth. and soon had them both
tied to the bed. Gags were then placed
in their mouths. The burglars next
proceeded to burglarize the house. Two
hundred dollars was secured. After this
the robbers departed, and Mr.. Both
finally succeeded in freeing himself and
released his wife. Roth recently sold
his farm for 5000, and it is supposed
that the robbers were aware of this
fact and hoped that he had the money
in his possession, for they threatened to
light the fire in the stove and burn Roth
if he did not tell where the money was
hidden. The couple are both aged. Roth
being seventy years of age and his wife
sixty.

time the league has paid no attention to
the salOOnkeepers who have kept their
places open after midnight, but now
now they will be looked after. Accord

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
1t Will Decide the Fate OF the
Teachers Today.


Teachers Today.
The board of education will meet in
regular session today and act upon the
list of teachers for next year. The list
was made up by Supt. Bradley, and has
been submitted TO Prof. Jordan, the SUI
perintendent elect. The increase in
the force of teachers in Minneapolis is
about 10 per cent Il year, making the
number TO be hired this year about 600.
II is understood that Prof. Jordan, by
more systematic classification, will en-
deaYOr to scale down this number
by fifty or sixty. This will
mean saving to the board of
at least S1O.0OO. Another possible
move toward retrenchment is the abOli-
ton of the supervisor, the position now
held by Miss Jennison at a salary of
Sl,SOO year. Prof. Jordan believes in
keeping in touch with the teachers him
self and Will undertake to do most of
the work that fell 10 Miss Jennison. 1t
is also possible that the training school
will be abolished and that the 81, 800 a
year saved thereby will go toward the
establishment OF course in cooking in
the schools. The training school turns
cut about twenty-five teachers year
who expect TO get employment from the
board. They are inexperienced. EX-
perienced teachers might be hired for
tile same salaries they get.
