T,he Observance Of Decoration Day In
wheeling way quite general on satur-
day. The graves Of the dead heroes Of
the blue and the gray were literally hide
dsn under the roses Of spring. The pub
lie never before 50 generously came to
the aid Of the Union veteran organiza-
lions with contributions Of flowers.
a gratifying feature Of the day was
the decoration Of Union and Confederate
dead in Mt Calvary cemetery. Under
the administration of Bishops Whalen
ana Kaln, there was no decoration Of
the graves of the dead soldiers on Mem
oriai Day. Recently when the g. A. r,
committees were arranging for the
Decoration Day Just passed, It was sug-
gested that Bishop Donahue be asked 20
permit the Grand Army to include IN
the list Of cemeteries that would be vlS-
tied by details. The bishop heard che
committee and granted Their request.
Hereafter there will be Memorial Day
reryices regularly at Mt. Calvary.
The rain Of the early afternoon inter
Tered slightly with the work of the g. A.
r details that had In charge the pleas
ant duty Of strewlng flowers on the
graves in Peninsular, Greenwood, Stone
Church and Mt. Calvary cemeteries.
Stephens post, which had charge OF the
decoration Of graves at Mt. Zion, per-
formed their duty at a. m. and avoided
the showers Of the early afternoon. At
this cemetery an address fitting to the
DAY was delivered by Mr.. 7. NJ. Garvln.
The services at the other cemeteries
were as laid down in the prescribed
ritual for this occasion, and while slim.
pie were very impressive Quite a
large crowd witnessed the service at
Stone Church cemetery, out the pike
east Of the city.
Ine decoration Of homes and business
houses was not as general as 1t should
nave been. Outside Of the city end OF
the public building there were very few
creditable displays Of bunting in the
city. The soldiers monument IN the
public building square was decorated
artistically by details from the q, a. r.,
Woman's Relief Corps and Sons Of Vst-
Grams. Previous to this Janitnr Sloan,
al Inc city building, had carefully clean
a the monument. The monument
should receive frequent cleansings.
Business was entirely suspended In
the wholesale business district, and
many Of the retail stores were closed In
the afternoon. Very few, comparative
". took any part in the Memorial Day
exercises. the mass Of the people seek
ing amusement of various kinds. The
base ball games, the two parks with
special attractions, and various plentcs
and other amusementS, attracted thou-
sands Of people, while many more spent
the day quietly in the country.

A rRTUmPH OF SCIENCE.

The successful transmission Of cleo
trio power generated by Niagara Falls
to the city of Buffalo. q miles away,
which occurred this week marks an
epoch in the history of scientific
achievements
The work of Harvesting Niagara
has been in progress many years but it
has been carried on carefully and every
chance of failure has been avoided. The
greatest electricians of the &c have been
frequently consulted and when the cleo
trical current was finally turned on
every thing moved like well regulated
clock
The power which can be supplied by
so great a force as the falls is practi-
cally Mmitless and the cheapness is Of
no small consideration. The price in
Buffalo is s36 per annum per horse pow
er.
Perhaps the most successful previous
attempt at utilizing natural water pow
er at long distance through electrical
machinery is at Sacramento. Cal, where
the street car lines and electric light
plants are driven by power generated
ten miles away.
Not only is the horse being rapidly
supplanted but steam as wei. In con-
sequence of all this there viii be more
coal left for heating purposes and more
pasturage for cattle. The worlds
abundance of meat and fuel seems in no
danger of being greatly lessened for
some time. The world is being taken
care of in spite of itself.
