MEMORIAL Day EXERCISES.

Honors to the Soldier Dead by the Com
rades of wadhams' Post and the
Women's Relief Corps.
The programme of the Memorial day
exercises was carried out to-day by the
members of Wadhams' post, q. A. R.,
the Women's relief corps and the
children of the public schools, as made
out by the veterans. At o'clock this
morning details left the posts rooms
and proceeded to st Joseph's and River
side cemeteries. Delegations of
children were in waiting and under the
direction of the veterans the graves of
the soldier dead, each in turn, were
strewn with bright, fresh flowers by the
little ones. The idea was a pretty and
suggestive one symbolizing the trust
which was rapidly being passed to
another generation to give place in their
memories to those who had braved
danger in the hour of trial that our
country might be saved to them as
handed down by our forefathers.
At st Joseph's cemetery, when the
decorating had been concluded, w. E.
Quigley made a few remarks introduc-
ing G. @. Collard Adams, who spoke to
the children. telling the significance OF
their actions on this day and exhorting
them to love their country and its en-
blem, the stars and stripes. At River
side cemetery similar exercises were
performed and the address was made by
o. W. Cornish, adjutant of the post
He told in simple words that the strew-
ing of flowers amounted to nothing to
the dead, but that the act served to per
petuate the memory of those who ha6
risked so much for their country's sake.
The details returned to the post rooms
and at 10 o'clock the veterans number
ing about $50 formed and headed by the
Mattatuck Drum corps marched to the
soldiers monument. A circle wal
formed and at the order from Com
mander Sanford the survivors of those
dark days of the early sixties each laiC
on the green sward at the base of the
monument his tribute of flowers to thu
comrades departed. Commander San
ford, Acting Chaplain w. G. Mckinley
IOficer of the Day Knapp and Adjutan
Cornish read the ritualistic exercise
and G. Collard Adams delivered the ad
dress of the day, which was listened t.
by upwards of 1000 people. The bene
diction was then pronounced and tn
veterans went back to their hall, wher
a collation. had been prepared for then
by the ladies of the relief corps.

Let The Dead Rest

When KELLY strolled through the
Grand street cemetery yesterday afternoon
he saw the following inscription on a
headstone taken up during the excavation
of the new Bronson library cellar
'sHere lies the body of Edward Kelly,
He was his fathers joy and mothers pride.
This precious babe was born in Castle Ide,
Let him sleep his last sleep undisturbed."
KELLY says that no matter in what
portion of the world you may be, should
you come across your name on headstone
in cemetery, fe ling of sympathy
would draw you near and cause you to
pause and think that in y, ars to come you
yourself may be similarly remembered in
your last resting place.
KELLY shoulders to think that this city
should so far forget the respect that is due
the last resting place of the dead, that it
permits pick and shovel, horses and dump
carts to dig down just far enough to let
the heavy body of a horse crush through
with it's hoofs the boxes containing all
that is mortal of KELLY.
KELLY says Keep your hand from off
the burying ground and return the dust to
it's proper abiding place. In the old
country it was noted that people who dis
turbed anything in old graveyards or
churches were always nnlucky or unfor-
tunate in some way or other.
Napoleon truthfully said:
Now feel the scourgipg rod
For meddling with the house Of God.

John L. Sullivan in "The Man From
Boston, will be the attraction al the
opera house this evening. As Captain
Harcourt, Mr. Sullivan is seen to ad-
vantage, and the audiences everywhere
attest their appreciation of his efforts to
get away from cheap melo dramatic
effects. As an actor, he has improved
decidedly since his first appearance on
the stage. Probably now that he has
given up prize fighting, and considering
acting as his regular work for the
future, his advancement will be more
rapid than when his mind was divided
between two worlds, as 1T were.

Consul Webb Secures Optiess on Land
for Moha mmedan Syndicate.
New York. May 2s.-It transpires that
Alexander Russell Webb. United States
consul. who four years ago embraced the
religion Of Mohammed and who represents
the Mohammedans in the United States,
returned to this country for other reasons
than those he already stated. In an inter-
view today Webb confirmed the statement
that he represents large number Of Mo-
hammedans who are planning to emigrate
from India to the United States and they
will probably form . ~Dlony in several OF
the Southern states. For some weeks past
Webb has been in communication with
large property holders in the South. not
ably in Georgia and Florida. He secured
figures on large strips of land and has
already reported the prices to syndicate
Of Mohammedans who from religious and
financial motives are interested in tho
movement. Webb has - doubt that coll
onies will actually b established. He
said:
