with flowers to-day by those who revere
the memory of their country's dead. APP

side to join in the procession.

fornia, under the command of Major L..
w. Juilliard and Captain c. E. Haven, led
the long procession, followed by a drum
corps. Then came Ellsworth Post, Grand
Army of the Republic, and the Ladies'
Circle.
The next feature was something pleas
ing and novel. Two hundred little girls,
dressed in red, white and blue, were so
placed as to form a gigantic American
flag, which, viewed from an eminence,
seemed to fiutter and wave like Old Glory
in the breeze.
The children were splendidly drilled,
marching and countermarching with a
degree OF accuracy which created an effect
of great beauty.
After the Living Flag came Juvenile
drum corps, followed by hundreds OF
school children carrying flags and ban
ners. Citizens in carriages made up the
balance of the parade, which was nearly a
mile long. AT Rural Cemetery the beauti-
ful ritual of the Grand Army of the Re
public was read at the grave of Comrade
J. H. Gadds, lately called from a busy and
useful life in this city to his last earthly
home.

AN AWFUL PREDICAMENT.

A Startling Omission at q London State
Luncheon.
All was in readiness for the luncheon
which M. Hanotaux, the foreign secre-
tary, was giving to the members of the
Mctrical convention and Sir Joseph
Renals. About IL o'clock the chief
steward bestowed last look of proud
satisfaction at the harmonious set-out
of the table. All at once he shnddered,
as a poet might have done, in the final
revision of his proofs, at the discovery
Of a printer's error that would have
horribly disfigured his latest sonnet.
'"rhe menu cards!". he exclaimed.
"they have been forgotten; lay them
round at once; there's not a minute to
lose!"
on the sideboards in the dining-room,
in the buffers pantry, at the foreign
Office, even in the minister's private
room. Not trace of the menu cards
and the lord mayor might arrive any
moment! No such disaster had befallen
since the days of poor Vatel.
The fact was communicated to M.
Crozier with all the delicacy that the
circumstances demanded. Various pro-
posals were submitted. At length it
was decided that all the functionaries,
great and small, who happened to be
present should be laid under requisi-
ton; even the son of the hall porter
found himself pressed for the nonce
into the service of the diplomatic corps.

dry when, the lord mayor entered the

LAW SCHOOL PROJECT,
Lafayette College Seems to Favorabiy
Consider the Proposition to Establish q
Branch School Here.

branch School Here.
Matters at present point toward the
establishing In this city law school
branch of Lafayette college. Judge
Alfred Hand and Attorney ]. II. Ham
ilton returned yesterday from Easton
where they conferred with the college
officials. The rsult Is that DIR. T.. ID.
Warfield, president of the college, will
head a committee which will visit
Scranton in two or three weeks for in
vestigation.
At the conference in Easton there
were present with Judge Hand and Mr..
Hamilton. DR.. Warfield, ex-Attorney
General Kirkpatrick, T.. ]. Fox and s.
l.. Fisler, secretary and treasurer OF
the college board of trustees. 1t was
decided by these gentlemen to for
mally present Scranton's proposition to
the college board at its meeting on
Thursday Of next week. The board
will then select the committee to visit
this city. They will probably come
here Feb. 81.
Thus far the negotiations have been
put forward by Scranton and rather
than urge the college to establish the
law school here. Judge Hand and At
torney Hamilton have put forward the
advisability of the project and shown
Scranton's position in the matter. In
case the school is located, its local
faculty will probably be the same az
that Of the defunct Dickinson school.
at least all of that faculty have eX-
pressed their willingness TO continue
instruction
