in utilizing the instinct of the animal in

Der of elementary exercises, such as walk

be omitted, and that is 20 repeat always

perfectly the word and can retain an al
most indefinite number of words repre-
Senting an action.
My advice is to feed learned dogs once
a day only a full dish made from biscuits
containing one-quarter of powdered meat
and three-Quarters of -four. Bitches are
more easily trained than dogs. Their ed
ucation should commence when they are
about ten months old, after they get their

ciples that l have been able to bring out
a troupe that is without a rival in the

"The enemy had in the early night laid
train of powder to a distance of two
miles away. The train was discovered by
brave patriot upon the very instant of its
explosion, with only time to throw him
self across the track of the line of fire.
ITO think it was to do it. The flashing
fame was arrested by his body. The plot
had failed and thousand lives were
saved, though he had died to save them.
Could those New England villagers ever
forget that a man died for them? AS long
as memory or reason sat upon the throne
could they ever cease to express gratitude
to their deliverer? They would show pro-
found gratitude.
"Such is the acknowledgment we make
to-day of the uncanceled debt which we
who live owe to those whose memories we
honor by strewing flowers upon their
graves.
"As Decoration day comes round from
year to year the American people will
stand with uncovered heads at the sacred
tomb of the patriot and reverently and
gratefully honor their siumbering dead. 1t
does us good to revive the memories of the
past.
Toward the people of the South, living
or dead, have no unkind thought, nor do
I believe any Union soldier has. But at
the same time we do not want any sickly
sentimentalism to obliterate the political
patriotic and moral issues that were in
volved in that strife. The principles for
which we contend-for which these heroic
men died-were sacred and never-dying

OBSERVED ON THE COAST,
More Attention Being Paid to
Memorial Day Than
Ever Before.
The Parades and Various Appropri-
ate Exercises Held in the
Different Towns.

SAN JOSE, CAL, May 30.-The streets
presented a lively scene to-day, and the
throngs of children and ladies in their
suits of light materials gave the town a
gala day appearance. Never before was
Memorial day so fttingly observed here.
Most of the business houses were closed,
and on all the public buildings and prin-
cipal blocks flags were at half mast.
Coming in the midst of our flower season,
the floral offerings at the cemetery and
the floral decorations at the park were
beautiful.
This morning at 9 o'clock the G.. A. r.
posts assembled at their halls. The mem
bers of John A. Dix Post, with oelega-
ton of twenty children from each of the
public schools, visited Oak Hill Cemetery,
where ritualistic services were conducted
and the graves of soldiers strewn with
flowers.
Phil Sheridan Post went to Santa Clara
and delegations of children from the
schools there accompanied them to the
cemetery, where similar services and the
decorating of graves were performed.
At 2:3O the parade took place, and there
were about 5000 in line. The school chill
dren presented fine appearance, and es-
pecially the young ladies of the Normal
School, who turned out $50 strong. All OF
the children carried bouquets, and each
school was headed by its drum corps. The
parade was led by platoon of police I'M
der Chief Kidward. Then came DR.. ]. G.
Stout, grand marshal, with Colonel A. K.
Whitton, chief of staff, and Aids L. j.
Chapman and G. G. Derby.
The first division was headed by the
Fifth Regiment band, and was in charge
OF h. Z. Russell, marshal; II. G. Squier
and ID. I. Bateman, aids. Company B,
n. q. c., led the division, followed by
pupils from the High School, Horace
Mann, Grant, Lincoln, Hester. East San
Jose, franklin, Gardner, Lowell, Wash
lngton and Longfellow schools. This
division had about 1900 in line.
The second division was under charge OF
Henry French, marshal; M. e. Daley and
+. K. Ledyard, aids. The A. 0. F. of A.
band headed the division, followed by
about 150 members of the Boys Brigade.
The Supervisors and Councilmen followed
on foot. Following came the students OF
the Normal School, about $50 being in line.
With the exception of about twenty-five
young men, the students are all young
ladies, and they presented fine appear
ance. There were about 800 in this di-
vision.
L. L. Nottinger was marshal of the third
division, with NJ. II. Osgood and J. NJ.
Olmstead as aids A drum corps preceded
the Ladies of the G. A. r. and Womens'
Relief Corps. Then came the Sons and

closed and the people were dressed in their
best, causing the town to present quite
Sunday like appearance.
The attraction of the day was the pro-
cession and exercises in honor of the dead
soldiers, though many of the laboring
classes took advantage of the holiday and
enjoyed days outing.
The memorial exercises began early in
the morning, when parade was formed
on Tenth and Jefferson streets. The
thoroughfares along the line of march were
packed with sightseers. When the column
reached Fourteenth and Broadway, each
of the veterans was presented with a
bouquet by the school children who were
massed on Fourteenth street, between the
Public Library building and Broadway.
At Eighteenth street the procession was
disbanded, and those that marched to this
point took cars to the cemetery, when the
procession was reformed at the gates.
The Fifth Regiment band rendered a
selection, after which Rev. J. H. Wythe
offered prayer. Mrs. Abbie Scare read
an original poem entitled ''True Pictures"
which received round after round of ap-
plause. The orator of the day was Bev
William RAIDER, who spoke on "The In
spiration of the Great Rebellion"
After referring to q personal incident
concerning John G. Whittier. he said :
"My subject therefore, is THE Inspiration
of the Great Rebellion The sword, ,
said Victor Hugo, lis a hideous flash in the
darkness but history testifies that the
sword flash has been the first CLEAN of the
sunrise, the first light of a greater civiliza-
ton; war quickens the National pulse and
sends the blood tingling through the body
polite; it awakens the mind, renews pa
triotism, enlarges the civic vision and ele-
Yates the common conscience.
Gas the ripples Of lake roll back from
falling stone until they strike every
shore, so do the influences of noble war
reach every side of nations life. Elo-
quence is exalted and inspired. The pen is
tipped with fire. Literature always par
takes of the color of the times which give
it birth. Elizabethan England was dis
turbed with civil and religious discord,
and the literature became like sea dashed
in storm. In America the summit of ora
tory and letters is marked by the Revolu-
ton and the great Rebellion. The oratory
of these periods is like seething, brilliant
lake of restless lava. At other periods it is
more like summer day when the noun
tains stand in repose and strength"
After telling of the various types of SOL
diers and the inspiration which the Nation
gained from the war he concluded with !:
81 have one sentiment for the soldiers liv-
ing and one for the soldiers dead-cheers
for the living and tears for the dead"
Miss Marian Barney, representing Cali
fornia, conseerated the graves of the dead
soldiers by sprinkling earth upon the
mounds. In this she was assisted by her
thirteen guards, representing the thirteen
original States.
In the evening Senator George G. Per-
kins and Rev. E. 8. Chapman delivered
addresses at the Presbyterian church be-
fore large audience.

A Fine address at .Fresno.

FRESNO, CAL, May 30.-The day was
an ideal one for outdoor ceremonies and
the exercises of the Grand Army were
largely attended. Nearly all of the bust
ness houses gave their employees a half
holiday.
Atlanta Post No. 50, G. A. r., mastering
sixty men, led procession to the GENE
terry, two miles from town, at 9 o'clock
this morning. With them were large
number Of the members of George A.
Custer Circle No. Is, Ladies of the G. A. R.,
and of the Woman's Relief Corps. Many
other citizens, also, drove out to the GENE
terry to witness the decorating of the graves.
The services, which were conducted by
the Rev. @. A. Mum, followed the simple
ritual Of the Grand Army. At their close,
profusion of flowers, carried from town
by the wives and comrades of the forty
soldiers in blue buried here, were laid on
the graves, together with the National
colors. When the last grave was found
and marked squad of veterans fired a
parting salute over the resting places of
their late companions. The procession
then reformed and returned to town.
The principal exercises were held to-
night in the Presbyterian church, which
was filed with old soldiers, Ladies of the
G. A. R., members of the Relief Corps and
others. Pictures of Washington, Lincoln
and Grant were displayed on the walls,
which were draped with the National

principles. When you and I, and all of us
are dead and gone and forgotten, they will
be living still.
II repeat, it does us good to revive the
memories of the past, not for the purpose
of stirring up sectional strife, not to boast
of victories won over our misguided and
we may say, in many instances, conscien-
tious brothers, but that we may deepen
the impression upon young America that
the war for the Union was holy war /;
that it was a struggle in which one side
was right and the other side radically and
reasonably wrong; that it was contest
based upon and waged for the highest in
terests OF mankind. Our Memorial day is
a day of real profit. 1t gives opportunity
for reflection in the right direction.
"All hail to the Fourth of July! With
all its extravaganza it enlarges the Ameri-
can heart. We all feel a sense of personal
ownership in Bunker Hill monument, and

announced the adoption of the Declare
