Honor the Dead.


Tuesday, Memorial Day, dawned
bright and rSdient;a golden sun bid the
morning break and flooded the day with
its gilded effulgence. Its benign rays
kissed to splendor the brillisnt hues
of a myriad number of flowers that
decked the Soldiers Monument in the
court yard, and all were mindful of the
sacred duties to be performed in honor
of the heros' dead.
The sentiment that the day enshrines
makes flowers and sunshine necessities
to the naturalization of the same.
One is essential to the other and
both are intimately associated in the
proper observance of Memoial Day.
In appropriate recognition Of this
sunshine and flowers were everywhere
in profusion.
The program arranged for the day
was tittingly carried out. At precisely
nine o'clock the Tom Cox Post met at
their hall and marched TO The city hall
where they met the daughters and sons
of veterans and from there marched en-
semble to the cemetery, in the order
published in the program.
At the cemetery the soldiers and
daughters and sons of veterans laid
their tributes of flowers on the graves
of the soldier dead. each having been
designated the day before by q minia.

TIE DICKENS PARTY.
A Gorgeous Event Participated in by Many
Lancasterites.

The Dickens Character Party given
by the young Ladies Literary Society in
the spacious parlors of the Greene resi-
dence, Friday evening, has probably
not been excelled by any similar func-
ton held in the city, for grandeur, inn
pressiveness and elegance. The social
success of the affair was due to the par
ticipation of a class of young people
who enter into the spirit of everything
they do and who never fail to make it a
success, The decorations consisted of
flowers in profusion and were simple
but appropriate.
The costumes of those representing
characters of the famous author were
in many instances extremely grotesque,
while on the other hand many were
elaborate, and competent judges who
were present say that each character
was we'll taken and admirably carried
out.
Limited space prevents us going into
detail Of each character and person rep
resenting it. The characters and the
persons representing them will be found
in the appended list, and all are unani
nous in the declaration that Mr.. and
Mrs. S. Greene were ''Our Mutual
Friends.

FaCiIitatin% JuStiCC,

Chicago Is remarkable for man, things, but 1t has lately had one of the most remarkable jurics heard of in the legal experience of any city. In ar recent case, in which the mother of nine, year-old girl was suing firm of con tractors for twenty-five thousand dol lars damages for causing the death ol her child, the jurors petitioncd to hay, whisky and cigars sent into the jury room. Their request not being com piled with, they decided to bring in an obviously heterogeneous verdict, finding the charge of negligence on the part of the contractors true, but awarding the plaintiff one cent damages. Judg, Brcntano, presiding, instantly set asid, tho verdict, and as tho telegram states administered n terrific rcbullc to the jurors, dismissed them in disgrace, and
 fined tho nine chief culprits an amount equal to the fees. These whisly-drinl1- ing and smoking jurors richly merited severer punishment A court with such jurors would be literally of tho kind characterized by Mrs, Burlington as ''the place where justice IS dispensed with 1

TPuc Kindness.

In the opinion of the editor of the Sunday School Times a good spirit is not in itself good judgment, 4'Bc- cause," says he, "wo want to act wisely it does not follow that we are wise in our methods. Woare often good hoart- ed, but we forget the necessity of culti- vating good judgment. Our very words of sympathy for those in bereavement arc sometimes so Ill chosen as to add new weight to the burden of sorrow. There is difference between inflicting pain kindly and thoughtfully-ns a sur geon may-and inflicting pain because we arc not wise enough to prevent it when we might. 1t Is not enough to Intend to pay a compliment, or to say a help ing or kind word; we must consider how we are to carry out tho inten- ton. To be truly kind we must be truly wise"

Ton miles from Asheville is a post office known us Candler. Mir. ]. s. Henry, of Charlottesville, according to the Observer of that city, sends good many letters thero, and lately has been using the Columbian stamps. The other day he received letter from his correspondent there saying that the postmaster at Candler had made him pay regular letter postage on every letter he (Mr. Henry) had sent with the Columbian stamp on it, and com pelled him to state who 1t was sending letters with them pictures on them for stamps" SO he could "have the man indicted" In vain did Mir. uenry's correspondent explain and remonstrate. The letters with the Columbian stamps on them were not forthcoming until, as the postmaster said, "the postage was paid"

 and tongues of flame were reaching over head, though it was not five minutes from the first intimation of fire till we reached the ground.
 "Our stock consists almost entirely of ropes, but we did not have time. to grab them, though they were lying within a few feet"
 For the first time in Bostons fire history the overhead wire system was the means of saving life. When the fire in the Brown Durrell building was at it's height the form of man, vho subsequently, proved to be District Chief Egan, of East Boston, was seen at an eighth story window. He boldly seized one ot thes large insulated cables which contain a large number of electric wires and proceeded to cross to the oppo- site building hand over hand. He had gone but a few feet when it became ap- parent he could not last long, and greatly to the crowds relief he threw both legs over the half inch cable, which slightly sagged, and slowly and tediously made his way toward the building, 110 Kingston street, to which the cable ran.
 A large number of life-Saving nets, can vases and cloths were produced, and fire men, police and bystanders vied with each other in holding them, while others hoarse ly shouted to the imperilled man to drop. To have done so seemed to court instant QeaGl. several times the NOlce or the vast crowd was hushed as it seemed that the poor being hanging there was lost. All at once the crowd broke into a cheer which seemed to infuse new life into the fiagging spirit of the fireman. He had reached midway between the two buildings and if he could only hang out a few minutes more he would be saved.
 Every inch of the street below was GOV cred with nets. At this point the cloud of smoke cleared away and the man was recognized as Chief John F. Egan, who had only been out of the house 8 short time where he had been confined with a broken collar bone and other injuries re- ceived by falling on the ice. A squad of men ran upon the building numbered 119 Kingston street and slowly lowered the cable to which Egan was hanging.
 At the same time ladder was raised to meet the slowly descending man. The cable was paved out slowly and the ex- hausted man gradually came nearer terra firma. His body swung in closely to the burning building from which issued dense clouds of smoke, when he was but two stories from the ground.
 In few seconds he swung into the arms of his comrades, released his hold, and, as weak as a rat, was carried from the scene, truly snatched from the jaws o1 death. A shout of triumph and applause came up from the threats of the vast crowd.
 Incoming trains from all directions were heavily loaded during the early evening, and probably over 50,000 outsiders helped to pack the streets in the vicinity while the fire was in progress

The democrats on the com mittee reject the figures in ex-Secretary Fosters report which estimate very small surplus at that time, and state their belief that there will be a defici- ency amounting to from S30,0O0, ,OOO to $40, ,000,0 ,000, giving in detail their req sons therefor. The republicans on the committee or rather who were on that committee, for the committee expired with the fifty-second congress, in a minority report stand by Mir Fosters figures.

VISITORS to the Worlds fair will have an opportunity to witness the publica- cation of daily newspaper from the beginning to the end of the work, and in all it's branches. The Colum bian Ex- position Bulletin, of which Major Handy will be the editor, and w. c. Gates, who has been connected with the Minneapolis Tribune and the Review of Reviews, be business manager, will be published in the machinery building. Besides this, the leading afternoon papers of the city will get out special Worlds fair editions from the same building. Five of the leading English morning papers of the city will each contribute page to the Bulletin, and the other three pages will be edited on the grounds and contain only Worlds fair matter. It is probable, too, that similar arrangements may be made with the city papers printed in foreign languages. The pages that are contri- buted by the morning papers will go to the grounds in the shape of stereotyped plates ready to go to the presses. The matter for the other three pages will be collected on the grounds and will be put in type by type machines, which will also serve as exhibits. The stereotyping process of making roller plates will be shown in another room, and then the papers will be rolled off the presses plac ed in the machinery building.

A Prison Chaplain's Arbitrary Ruling.

JOLIET, Ill.,, March 11.-Chaplain Ste phan, of the State penitentiary, has served notice on the Governor that he will not be dictated to. Last Sunday the Chaplain is sued an order that hereafter none but Lutherans and Catholics should teach in the prison Sunday schools. This shuts out all Protestant churches which have been represented in the prison. The Go .ernor demanded that all denominations should be allowed equal rights in the State insti- tutions, but Chaplain Stephan firmly re- fuses to pay any attention to orders.
