 pulpit and press,
 Such news us that gives me pain, | sincerely hope they will let them alone, Till we play with the Canaans again. The "Black snd the Red" il will hang uaion
 Down."
 What glory twill be to our name. The Blue and the White in victory we'll
 wave,
 When We play with the canaanz again. How they thrashed us Inst fall, we'll never forget;
 Our brave half back they tried hard to brain, But they'll take ofr their spurs, or we'll use When we play with the oanaAns OeaiD. How our red headed full-baek flew down the field,
 His hair streaming forth like a flame;
 bet,
 When we play with the oanaans again. We'll hammer and smash 'em and thrash em about; Every man we'll endeavor to lame; | Father Thompson" won't have over three | scholars left:
 When we play with the canaans again. There's Bret and pupee. we'll kill them out. right
 We won't let them suffer in pain; And the rest of the team will bs sick for ten | weekr, When we play with the Canaans again. | O, My; how we'll whoop and we'll yell and 1 we'll roar:
 The people will think we're insane; | We'll wake David Nj. Hunt froIh his grave | I'm afraid,
 When We play with the Canaans again.

KENT.

On the morning of May 30. people from north, south, east and west, num- bering between five and six hundred, were gathered together in this village to do honor to the memory of the sol dier dead. At Il o'clock the procession was formed in front of Town Hall The Millbrook cornet band in neat grey uni forms took the lead, followed by Sons of Veterans from Cornwall and Sharon in uniforms of blue with white stripes soldiers, members of G. A. R., Gregory Post of Cornwall Bridge, Vessels Post of sharon, and 6 few from Upton Post of New Milford-children carrying fowers-citizens. The line of march was up Main St. to the upper cemetery, where school children laid wreaths up- on each grave, then down Main St. around the monument, which was al- ready handsomly decorated, to the low CT cemetery, .returning to the hall where substantial soldiers dinner was spread. Flags and bunting, flowers, swords, and pictures of Lincoln and Garfield adorn- ed the walls Tables were arranged to seat one hundred people at one time; and for more than two hours the wait CTS put in full time serving chicken pie, pork and beans, aud numerous good things to at least five hundred persons; and 1t Is yet to be found out that any went away hungry. After dinner the post gathered around the monument and gave the salute, and the ritual ex- ercises were held. The band gave some good music and there was singing by the children and others. Rev W. F. Bielby then gave brief but stirring, patriotic and we'll worded, address well coming these friends to this place on this day set apart to recall heroic deeds, and to keep fresh the memory of the fallen heroes. Rev B. Nj. Wright ad- dressed the soldiers; said he could not talk to them from any personal remem- brance of the war, as he was child of only few months when they were on the field, but he gave all honor to every man who had defended bis country aud who still carries the scars of battle. He paid tribute to the memory of those on whose graves bright flowers are scatter ed this day. The Sous of Veterans bad duties in regard to the country's future; they might not have to fight, but, in these days of corruptness and public evils, they were to stand firm for the right. When he had finished speaking, the band played and all joined in sing ing America" which closed the exer- cises.

Invention of the Fan.

The poets of the Celestial empire at tribute the invention of the fan to one of their emperors-Wu Wang-who reigned II centuries before the Chris ian era The first fans were made of bamboo only, but in time feathers and silk were used with good effect, and old writers pomponsly describe the imperial shariots decorated with these emblems of power on all state occasions It was only at the beginning of our era, how sver, that a Chinese fanmaker beat plates of gold until they were as thin as locust wings" and applied them on both surfaces of screen fans, which he further decorated with paintings of birds, beasts and fabulous monsters, wherein he set glittering bits of mica The folded fan, long unknown in China, IS said to have been imported from Japan in the tenth century, when it be- Ean to replace screen fans.

TROUBLE FOR GEN. KELLY
ANOTHER SERIOUS MUTINY IN
HIS INDUSTRIAL ARMY.
This Time 1t Barely Missed Being g
Fight Between the Kelly and Spead
actions-Industrial Steal Train.

WALNUT, Ia, April 24.-Soon after
Kelly's army left Walnut today at
least 100 men left the ranks and
started across the country in various
directions. The long march ahead
and the vanishing prospects of secur-
ing train caused rapid dissolving
of the enthusiasm which has hereto
fore marked the progress of the army,
and the men quietly dropped out.
Kelly disclaims all knowledge of the
wholesale desertion and asserted that
he knew of but 10 or II men who had
quit, but the men in the ranks &C
kno Wedge that their comrades were
leaving and the fear was expressed
that the assertions would rapidly
grow more numerous. Pinkerton's
men are also on the trail and it
is expected that wholesale arrests
will be made at Dos Moines. The
men are becoming violent in their
complaints over the forced march
across the country and Ke.ly's author
ity is likely to be severely tested if
transportation is not secured at the
state capital. Kelly expects TO reach
Des Moines Friday, but his arrival
there will probably be delayed until
Saturday.
Another mutiny seemed probable to-
day and this time it promised to be
more serious than the Neoloa incident.
Colonel Spead, whose popularity with
the men is as great as that of the
commander, positively refused to obey
orders on today's march and it was
apparent that any attempt to disci.
pline him would cause split in the
army. Spead has been inclined to be
Unruly ever since Colonel Ba-
ker's discharge and has sym.
pathiZed with the ex colonel.
AS the army neared Walnut, Kelly
ordered Spead to march with The
commissary wagons and look after
them. Spead promptly replied that
he was doing all he would and would
not follow the commanders instruc-
tions. A decidedly heated exchange
of compliments followed and for 8
time a general row was imminent, as
the Sacramento men promptly TOOK
with Spead while the California Gi.
vision favored Kelly. The latter fl
nally turned away with the remark
that he would settle the matter later
When the men reached Walnut they
were in state Of great excitemen
{ and predicted serious trouble tonight
a short distance beyond WalDU
/ tho army halted to discuss the i'm
T pending trouble. Spead attempted
to make speech, and Immediately
wild gcene ensued. Cries "Spead'
Z mingled with shouts for Kelly. Tn
5 men formed opposite bodies and
fierce fight seemed imminent. For
