WASHBURN STREET CEMETERY.
Addresses Given by Rev. +. II. Doty
and Rev, John Il. Sweet.

anu rev, JOnu hs SWeets
Commander T.. L. Haas, of Monies
post. had charge of the services at the
Washburn Street cemetery. Before
and after the Grand Army service,
hymns were sung by the choir of the
Hampton Street Methodist Episcopal
church. of which Rev F. P. Doty is
pastor Rev. John b. Sweet, OF S,mp-
son Methodist Episcopal church, was
the first speaker. He said that times
rapid advance does not diminish the
fraternal spirit that rests in the heart
of the old soldier. 1t was an eloquent
address and bestowed many beautiful
tributes upon the heroes living and
dead who went to the front in the time
of the nations peril and battled for the
right.
Rev Mr.. Doty, in his address. was
not less mindful of the honors due the
surviving heroes and their dead COM
rades. He said:
This the greatest country in all the
earth. though comparatively new. has
a history in part written, but large
part Of its history is as yet unwritten.
Our history may be divided into three
periods. First, the formative period in
which ou. of chaos came forth order.
namely. the colonization of the coun-
try and then the union of the colonies
under a form Of government: second.
the period Of development in which the
provisions Of the constitution were in a
measure secured; third, the period OF
progress, In which the land in a certain
sense became the home of the free, and
though bleeding at every pore took on
new life and energy. With this latter
period, many present are only too well
informed, having passed through the
ordeals and followed the flag through
scenes of carnage and unspeakable
woe. Gathering like stormy cloud
came the issues that preclDitated the
conflict and launched the nation upon
the sea of blood
'The crisis came. BY traitor hands,
the Stars and Stripes We're torn dowrs
and trailed in the dust. The first gun
fired on Fort Sumter thrilled the blood
which coursed through the veins of ev-
cry patriot in the land. Breathlessly
men gathered. One sentiment filled
every loyal heart The union, it must
and shall be preserved. Four years of
relentless war followed. A hundred
battles by land and by sea tell the
story of the carnage and the conflict
Peace came at last. Thirty-one years
have gone by since the last gun was
fired In the great civil war. The ram
parts which marked the battlefield
have been leveled by storm and by the
ploughshare. No more the bugle note
calls to arms. The war is past. Yes,
past but not forgotten. Standing
where we can look over those battle
fields. we cannot forget the half mil
lion brave men who died on the fields,
In the hospitals or in prison pens"

Mrs. Chants Latch.key.

| have been asked, at home, several
times what business it was of mine
whether the women in the land of the
stars and stripes got the suffrage or
not. We want justice not to be COOP
ed up in one land, but to spread over
and rule the whole earth. Do you
know what this is in my hand? It is
latch-key? Twenty years ago lady
in London was engaging a governess.
The governess was very clever, and
could teach anything, but friend
wrote to the lady, "Do not engage her
on any account. She will corrupt the
minds Of your daughters. She uses a
latch-key!" l use one for the most
womanly of reasons-to save some one
trouble who would otherwise have to
sit up for me. Some one might say
to me, "But suppose you should come
home drunk at 3 A. Mp" Votes are
like latch-keys; they can be used we'll
or i'll. One of those curiously half
conscienced people, the remonstrants,
told me that she was opposed to CIV
ing women a vote because some women
would use it so badly. We might as
we'll give up bonnets because some
women use them badly. The papers
report that woman threw her bonnet
at her husband the other day.

Sam Jones Disguised.

l have frequently read the resolu-
tons of liquor dealers associations,
upholding sobriety and advocating
temperance. Are they fools enough
to think that the world reads such rot
with anything but disgust? Do they
suppose by their self-conceit and worse
than pharisaical claims that they can
ever make the world believe anything
else than that the saloon keeper is an
enemy to good, an enemy to man and
a curse to children wherever they
plant their influence and run the dog
geries?
Political parties may bow and cringe
before the liquor dealers and brewery
power; commerce may feel the force of
its.power; but woe be to the world the
day the liquor power shall throttle the
pulpit or hush the voice of the church
of God as they denounce the liquor
traffic and show up it's blighting curse.
The brewers and distillers of this
country who have fattened and feast
ed upon the blood of women and
children may pile up their funds and
own the whiskey trust, yet the stencil
of the gang goes up to heaven, and
God will resent it some way and some
where as sure as God reigns in heaven.

Gen. 0. 0. Howard, the President oil

thinks "that we might perhaps unite
vast majority OF good people on the
Norway system which takes from
liquor-selling the motive of gain" He
would have ''joint stock companies
organized, of the most honorable men,
who should have the complete monop-
oily, ETC."
