Memorial Proclamation

Once more the day so dear and
sacred to the patriotic citizens Of our
country is at hand; once more it is
our duty to pay our annual tribute of
respect to the brave heroes who by
their yalOr on many a bloody battle
field testified their undying devotion
to their cOuntry's flag and established
and created a second declaration of
independence that at last gave liberty
to ali mankind and settled forever
the perpetuity of this union.
They fell devoted but undying;
The very gale their mare seems signing;
Inc waters murmur with their name;
The woods are peOpled with their fame;
The silent pillar lone and gray
Claims kindred with their sacred clay.
Their spirits wrap the dusky mountain;
Their memories sparkle DER the fountain;
The meanest rill, the mightiest river
Rolls mingling with their fame forever.
All over this land, in every church
yard, sleep the brave defenders of our
country, and on this day 50 fragrant
with the memories OF their gallant
deeds, grateful nation, with uncOv-
cred heads, stands at their graves to
pay them reverence; and while we
render homage to our departed heroes,
let US not forget those who still live
to tell the story of a nations peril
and nations victory. Rapidly they
are marching down the western slope
OF life to meet that uncomfortable
enemy Of all mankind, and as the
evening shadows fall across their
pathway, the kind word, the grasp of
friendly hands should ever cheer and
sustain them.
And so with song and story Of their
achievements, with love light and
sympathy in every eye; with bright
flowers to deck the graves of the fallen
and wreathe fair garlandS for the
living; with music swelling on the
air, with the flag Of our country still
borne by the gallant men who saved
it from dishOnor floating over us, tell
ing to the generations of today their
duty in the years to come, and thrill
ing their young breasts with patriotic
desires to ever guard its sacred folds;
with cOntrite hearts, with prayer and
Thanksgiving to our heavenly father
for His bOuntiful goodness and mercy,
let the day be spent to the glory of
God and the betterment Of this
nation.
1t should be the desire Of all our
citizens, on this day that has by act
of congress been set apart and devoted
to the decoration Of the graves OF
our cOuntry's brave defenders, to en-
gage and take part in the exercises Of
the day. Therefore, that all may
have this opportunity, and as mark
of our respect, and in compliance with
a request made by committee Of
the James Shields Post Of this city, l,
W. R. Savage, mayor Of Wellington,
do most earnestly request that all
places Of business be closed on Satur-
day, May 30, 1895, from u o'clock m,

citizens suspend during that time
their usual avocatiOns and attend
and take part in the memorial exer.

New York. Nov. 1.-THE news of the
production of an ''informer' in the Ivory
case in London created quite a sensa-
ton and was productive of consider
able comment in Irish circles in this
city. Diligent inquiries among promi-
nent Irish Naiionelists by a represen-
tative Of the Associated Press estab-
lished the identity of man named
Jones who had connection with Irish
matters in this city. This mans name

is a dead man. I am glad that I
do not stand in his Shoes" When
Ivory's counsel asked Jones to
give the initials of his name the wit
ness refused, but the counsel insisted
and also demanded to know the ad-
dress of Jones in New York. whereupon
the witness replied: Il fear for my
safety and decline to give the particu-
lar location" The magistrate upheld
Jones in his refusal and then followed
a dramatic incident.
Counsel for the prisoner solemnly
asked: Did you take the oath of the
Clan-na-Gaely' Upon hearing this
question Jones turned deadly pale. hesi-
tated for a moment and then feebly
answered: Yes"
Ivory's counsel thereupon said: you
were intending, at the time. not to OBJ
serve it?" To this question Jones re-
piled: Yes. 1 did not intend to OBJ
serve it,
Counsel thereupon said: Have you
any respect for the oath you have
given here today?" Yes" replied
Jones in a weak voice.
