FLOWERS for the Dead.

Last Tuesday the Confederate
monument in court square was
decorated with wreaths and banks
of beautiful flowers, by the ladies of
Bolivar, under the supervision of
Mrs. r. P. Nicely. A few remarks ap-
propriate to the occasion, were de-
livered by Rev. G. G. Mcdaniel,
now an aged minister of the gospel,
but who was at one time daring
scout in the Southern ranks. Mr.. Nc
Daniel urged the organization of a
memorial association and the an
nual observation of decoration day.
In this connection, short history
of the monument will not be out
of place. Perhaps but few know
that this was the first monument cree
ted in the South after the war to
the memory of the Confederate dead.
Capt. Albert T. McNeal, immediate
ly after the close of the war, was the
first to suggest the idea. He laid
his views and plans before the pub
lie, and the gentlemen of Bolivar
refused or failed to assist him. De-
termined to push the work to sue
cessful completion, he next sought
the help of the ladies, which was
cheerfully given. A monumental
association was formed with Mrs.
r. P. Nicely as president. This as
ISOLATION secured contributions to
the amount of eleven hundred dol
lars. About that time the present
courthouse was being built, and
bonds were issued for its cree
ton. The monumental associa-
ton, by direction and advice OF
Capt. McNeal, invested in these
bonds and made considerable mon.
ey. To assist in raising funds, the
young ladies of the town gave en-
tertainments of various kinds, and
finally, in 1870, enough money was
secured to erect the monument.
The total cost was nearly $4,000.

GIeqUes Wilson.

The marriage of Miss Annie Lee
Wilson to III. w. Gleaves occurred
in the Methodist Church of this
place on yesterday morning at $40
o'clock. For sometime before the
appointed hour, the spacious build
lug was comfortably filled by spec
tators and friends of the contract
ing parties. The signal of the ar
rival of the wedding party was the
peals of Memberships march, un-
der the skilful touch of Miss Allie
Clinton, who presided at the organ,
aud during its rendition the brides
maids, Misses Ella Pirtle and Will
lie Redd, Misses Mary Franklin
and Della Stroud proceeded up the
left aisle while the groomsmen,
Messrs. E. r. Gill, P. H. Stuart,
Messrs. III. Shinn and J. III. Felts
advanced up the right aisle and on
reaching the rostrum Miss Pirtle
crossed over to E. r. Gill, P. N.
Stewart to Miss Willie Redd, Miss
Mary Franklin to Mr.. Shinn and
Mr.. Felts to Miss Della Stroud
forming semicircle. In the same
manner and order the bride and
maid of honor, Miss Helen Gill, OPP
posite the groom and groomsman, j..
A. Wilson, Jr., reached the rostrum,
where the contracting parties stood
in front of the Presiding Elder, Rev.
G. w. Wilson, with the maid of
honor on the left and the best man on
the right, and were there made man
and wife, the Presiding Elder using
the beautiful yet solemn ceremony of
the M. Z. Church. The rostrum was
tastefully and elegantly decorated
with magnolias, daisies, entwining
vines and potted plants. The bride
is member of one of the best and
most highly esteemed families of our
town. Her charming manner, ge-
NAL and sunny disposition added to
her real merit and scholarly attain
ments is the cause of her having been
one of the brightest jewels and valu-
ed members that adorned Boil
vars social circle. While her de-
parture will be loss, sensibly felt
and realized, yet her presence in
distant city will redown to its
welfare. The groom is a member
of Gleaves & Sons, one of the
leading furniture dealers of Padu-
cab, KY, and is said to be in every
respect worthy of the fair bride
which he has been so fortunate in
winning. The happy couple left on
the $50 train on yesterday morning
for Paducah, their future home, fol
lowed by the best wishes of legion
of friends.

Mr.. William Duncan informs us
that the first Methodist Church ev-
or organized in Hardeman County
was at the home of his grand-moth.
or, about two and one-half mile.
southwest of Bolivar. The date of
organization he does not remember.
but he says that the preacher in
charge had circuit extending from
Wolf river, on the south, to
Forked Deer, on the north, EN- bra
cling a territory of more than 100
miles The time required to make
the rounds was six weeks, and so
sparsely settled was the county at
that tine that the preacher was
compelled to spend one night in the
woods. The first year, for his SER
vices, the preacher received his
board and clothes and two dollars
in money.
One of the greatest scenes of
hilarious jollity of the season was
experienced by the young la
dies and gentlemen of Bolivar, at
Dunlap Springs, on Friday night
last, at a moonlight picnic. The
picnicers drove to the springs
in wagons. A few minutes after
their arrival, the chaperons, Misses
Jennie Hardaway, Sadie Durrett,
Kate McNeal and Jessie Madison,
had the 10 o'clock dinner spread
out on a large table ready to be
enjoyed by those present. Through
the kindness of Mrs. III. b. Paul, the
ball room was well waxed, and
while all the chaperons performed
in turn upon the piano, fairy forms
assisted by gallant beaux tripped
the light fantastic, and out in the
yard amid the refreshing breezes,
beneath the lofty and shady oaks,
many Cupid's darts were thrown by
the young men.
Prof. J. NJ. Hubbard, who has
for the past seven years been presi-
dent of the Stanford (Ky.) Female
College, has retired from the posi-
ton, his lease having expired. The
commencement exercises of this
College took place on June 18th.
We learn from the Interior-J Jour
nal, published at Stanford, that the
program was unusually entertaining
and well rendered. Just before the
close of the entertainment, Col. L.
p. Hill, prominent lawyer of the
town, arose and expressed the
thanks of the community to Prof.
Hubbard and wife for the estimable
good they have done-good that
will be felt long after their lives
are spent. Mr.. Hubbard has anoth-
er lucrative position offered him in
the the neighborhood of Louisville,
but he has not yet decided to accept
it. We regret to learn that Mrs.
Hubbard's health has failed. She
will return to her home in Memphis.
Nj. Hubbard expects to visit Boil
var some time during the summer.

Letter From Mr.. Carlisle.

Mr.. Wadlington, of Boil
var, recently wrote to Mr.
John @. Carlisle, who is ;
personal friend of his, asking
for information in regard
| to silver coinage. The fol
lowing letter was received in
reply, which we publish
through the courtesy of Mr..
Wellington:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, !
Office of the Secretary, :
Washington, June s, '95.
Mr.. B. G. Wadlington,
Bolivar, Tenn.
DEAR SIR-Under the acts of 1884
and 1887 the coinage of silver was
free; from 1905 until 1886, no stan
dard silver dollars were coined at
the minis of the United States; in
1886 the coinage amounted to $1,000,
and there was no coinage of standard
silver dollars in 1887 or 1888, and
in 1889, $500 were coined. From
that time on until 1873, inclusive,
the total coinage OF standard silver
dollars at the minis of the United
States amounted to Sc, 407, sos.
Since 1873, the minis have coined
standard silver dollars to the amount
of about $424, 900, 900. There were
no silver dollars in circulation in
this country in 1873, and had not
been for great many years, for the
reason, as explained in my speeches,
that the ratio between gold and sill
yer, established by the acts of 1884
and 1887, drove them out of the
country and caused gold coins to
take their places.
Very truly, yours,
]. @. CARLISLE.
1t will be seen by the above
letter that for sixty-eight
years, prior to and including
1873, only Sc, 407 ,698 stand
ard silver dollars were coined,
while since 1873, a period of
twenty-five years, 1921, 600,
900 standard silver dollars
have been coined; in other
words $417, 592, 302 more in
twenty-five years than in
sixty-eight years prior to the
great crime" of demonetiz-
ing silver. If the people
were so prosperous and hap
Ply when only six millions of
silver was coined, certainly
they should not attribute
their ills to the scarcity of
money when now we have
over four hundred and sew
enteen millions.

TBE SYMPHONY CoYCEBr.

| A large, enthusiastic and cultivated l audience greeted our Symphony orches- ! tra at their second concert yesterday afternoon at Alumni hall. Our social | and musical world was largely repre-
 scented. The atmosphere of Alumni Is
 very fine and impressive and it is pleas ant to have these concerts there, but the acoustics, 1t must be admitted,
 are rather unsatisfactory. However, the orchestra played splendidly under Professor Parker's direction. For such
 a young organization the program was quite ambitious. With the exception of Gade's "Novelletten" the numbers
 were all well known. The B minor symphony of Schubert, Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre," and Beethoven's "Egmont" are three of the most popu- lar numbers in the repertoire of all
 the orchestras. But events proved that they had not over-rated their abilities
 and everything went off with great
 deal of eclat.
 The diminished" as 1t Is commonly known, is the eighth of Schubert's symphonies and was composed In 1922
 He wrote the first two movements and a few bars of a scherZo, but never com pleted it, although these first parts were written six years before his death. It is the most beautiful and the most popular of his symphonies, although not as great @ work as the Ninth" in c. MT. Parker interpreted it i'm lovely spirit and received quite an ovation at the close.
 MT. A. E. Parsons appeared as the soloist of the occasion and played the Chopin F minor concerto. Mir. Parsons playing is always scholarly and con- scientious. His technique is clean and clear-cut and he never attempts any thing that he cannot do well. The "Larghetto" was most satisfactory, be- ing played in very tender, Chopin esque manner. The last movement was taken trifie too slow The ensemble effects were fine throughout.
 The Gade selections for the strings were charmingly played. The strings were particularly good in all the num- bers.
 The "Danse Macabre" Is a gruesome work and always fascinates an audi ence when 1t is well rendered. Special praise is due Concert-master Troost- wyk for his playing. He entered splen- didly into the ghastly spirit of the lines which inspired Saint-Saens. Zig ct ziget zig, La Mort en cadence, Frappant une tom be avec son talon, La Mort, minuit, jone un air de
 danse, Zig ct zig ct, sur son violin"
 The "Egmont" overture of Beethoven ended the program. It was brilliantly played. Great credit is owing to MT. Steinert and the other gentlemen to l whose enterprise this orchestra is due and to Professor Parker for his conduct Ing of it,

concessions which no other in Italy could have got.
 Thus Divine Providence by thirty years of Episeopate prepared him to be the Supreme Pontiff for this ending of the XIX. century, and from the narrow limits of a diocese has transferred him to a field of action which embraces the entire world It is the opinion of the wise that one of the greatest blessings of God is the raising up of men special ly fitted for urgent necessities when they present themselves, and there could be no more striking proof of the truth of this idea than that furnished by the life of Leo XIII. It would be difficult to say whether he had been prepared for the church at this partic- ular period, or whether the church had been specially prepared for his wonder full activity.
 Briefly, then, such was Leo XIII as bishop; and it is strange that such bishop should feel special regard for Archbishop Williams? They are two men in whom we see developed to the highest degree all those qualities which go to make up the character of the true Christian pastor of souls. It isN most natural then that between them there should exist the strongest bonds of sym pathy and affection.
 ''To me, therefore, 1t is am honor and a pleasure-one to be remembered all my life-to be here tonight and to of fer, while offering my own sincerest and earnest congratulations, bhe loving and paternal salutations of Leo XIII. and his fervent good wishes that God may continue to bless and preserve to the church of Boston her beloved Arch bishop Williams"
 His Eminence James, Cardinal Gfib- bons, eloquently responded to the Am erican Hierarchy.
 The last speaker was Hon. Horace G. Allen, president of the board of aldermen who spoke for '@The City of Boston"

DEATH or MRS. HUGO.
The Mother of ex-Town Clerk Hugo Passes Away of old Age-A Fine Aged Couple Separated by Death.

The Mother of ex-TOwn Clerk Hugo Passes
 Away of old Age-A Fine Aged Couple
 Separated by Death.
 Mrs. Anna Eva Hugo, mother of ex-Town Clerk Philip Hugo, died yes terday morning about o'clock at the residence of Philip Hugo, with whom she and her husband lived, No 13 Ed wards street. She had been i'll but a short time, old age being the primary cause of her death. MT. Hugo was eighty-one years of age, and had been married sixty-two years, having cele- brated her sixty-second anniversary February 10. Her husband survives Philip Hugo, Simon J. Hugo, Frank Hugo, George Hugo, John Hugo, Peter A. Hugo, Joseph Hugo, Christopher Hugo Mrs. Lendorth and Mrs. James Rausch. All of her children reside in this city, with the exception of Chirsto- pher Hugo. who is in Wisconsin, a manufacturer there, and who was here visiting two years ago. Mrs. Hugo was the oldest member of St. Boniface's church, and her funeral will take place from that church at 9:30 on Saturday with requiem high mass. Mrs. Hugo had been a resident of this city thirty three years.
 Mrs. Hugo was born in Bavaria and came to Terryville, this state, about thtrty-three years ago, where her hus- band had a brother living, by whom the family were persuaded to come to this country to reside. This brother of Mr. Hugo died at Meriden many years ago. MT. and Mrs Hugo lived in Terryville a short time, and then came to this city. Mrs. Hugo leaves a brother and sister in Germany, aged seventy-nine and seventy years respectively. Two years ago the aged couple celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their we'd ding, which is remembered by all who attended as a most enjoyable and in- teresting occasion. The family cherish and highly prize among other photo graphs of the aged couple one taken just after that occasion. The splendid tributes of flowers bestowed upon the aged pair are also shown in these large photographs. The aged pair were a most devoted couple to each other, and to their children, and their devo- ton to their church, St. Boniface of which they were of the original mem bers, was notable, they almost daily attending the services whenever the weather permitted. The deceased lady was attended in her illness by Dr. Fleischner. Her death was due to general failure of the vital powers, and she sank away sweetly and peace fully to rest.

 the only absentee at the meeting of the
 board of public works last evening. L. J. Matthews made novel and
 amusing offer He offered, if he should be appointed superintendent of streets, ! to spend $1,0O0 of his salary on orphans and school children, keeping but $1,30O for himself.

 D. Cady Eaton will evidently have his way in the Prospect sewer matter He served notice that he would not pay assessments for the Prospect street sewer unless it was laid deeper. The board thought that it would be more satisfactory to lay the sewer deeper and avoid litigation, which would undoubt- edly be costly. The matter was re- ferred to the committee on sewers with power.
 The matter of fencing Congress ave- nue at the boulevard and Foster street at North Bank street was referred to the street committee.
 MT. Frank C. Bushnell appeared be- fore the board and stated that Crown street, from Orange street to Howe, was in need of immediate repair.

Both matters were referred to the proper
