Plea for Memorial Day.

Eds. "Record-Union / notice an
announcement for day of sports at
one Of the parks for to-day. AS a
member of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, | enter protest against the use
Of this day for any other purpose than
that for which the immortal General
John a. Logan established it,
This is the nation's-this is the SOL
diers day-a day set apart for the
purpose of commemorating the deeds
of daring and bravery which resulted
in the restoration and establishment
OF constitutional government; a day
on which We remember that our beloved
country was once clothed as a house
of mourning, and that two millions of
widows and orphans, north and south,
deluged the land with tears for loved
ones who never returned from the bat
tlefield
To desecrate this day with sports of
any character shows lack of patriot
ism and loyalty to the country and
to the memory of nearly five hundred
thousand Union soldiers who fell on the
field of battle that the nation might
live.
l now appeal to every American pa
triot, 1 care not whether from the
North or the South, to frown down any
attempt to desecrate Memorial Day.
In conclusion, let me ask the whole
people to rather cherish the memory of
the immortal Lincoln, Grant, Sherman,
Logan and Sheridan. and the common
soldier, by placing wreaths upon their
graves and thereby perpetuate Mem
orial Day for its established purpose
down to the last syllable of recorded
time. GEO. W. FICKS,
Grand Marshal for Memorial Day.

ther. AS for the letter in question,
Worden's own brother had refused to
accept it, and his trial attorney had
ignored it, knowing full well that it
would not be admitted in evidence. and
would bear no weight even if admitted.
Attorney Monteith had no affidavits
to present, but offered a number OF
statements tending to show that
O'Brien had verbally stated to several
parties that he had removed the rail,
thereby causing the wreck or
the train. The statements were
filed, though the Governor main
tanned that O'Brien had been at
tempting to work the A. r. U. Tor
money; that the letter would cut no
figure in arriving at conclusion, ana
that affidavits touching the same mat
ter would not be of any weight
During his remarks Monteith again
attacked Attorney Strong of Wood
land, but was again called down by
the Governor, who said:
You, to gain your case, would at
tempt to ruin Worden's attorney, who
fought so gallantly for his client, and
even shed tears in his presentation OF
the application for Communication.
Monteith replied that such tears as
those shed by Attorney Strong were
usually of the crocodile variety.
You are said Governor Budd,
simply seeking another respite for the
prisoner, which I will not allow" He
had, he said, such astounding proofs
of Worden's guilt that he doubted
whether forty affidavits to prove an
alibi, or anything else, could induce
him to change his mind. Only few
days ago, he said. Worden had written
letters for relatives in the East, and
these letters he Ghe Governor) now
had In them Worden stated that he
knew that the Governor would not
take steps for the Communication of his
sentence, and that he would certainly
be hanged.
In those letters, the Governor eZ-
planned Worden had asked forgiveness
from his family for the blot he had
placed on their fair name. and had
warned his son not to follow in his
footsteps. But nowhere did he make
denial of his guilt. In fact, he had
admitted guilt in everything except
words.
The Governor would not give the let
ters he held to the press, but he pri-
vately showed them to Monteith, Knox
and Crossley. What impression they
made is not known.
The hearing closed at 2:30 o'clock,
and judging from the attitude taken
by the Governor nothing on earth can
save Salter D. Worden from the gal
lows.

MAJORITY WOMEN.
DR.. W. E. Stathers, Superintendent Of

The Institution Being Enlarged to
Accommodate More Patients---The
Female Patients Exceed the Males
In Number.

Or. E. w. Stathers, superintendent
of the State Insane Asylum, at Wes-
ton, arrived in the city yesterday. He
will be here for couple of days and
will go to Pittsburg to attend to some
business connected with improvements
being made at the asylum.
The old brick building, where the
female patients are confined, is being
greatly remodeled. When the repairs
and changes are finished forty more fe-
males can be accommodated. AS it is
there is no room for more. The asy-
lum is about filled, although a few more
males could be taken. Superintendent
Stathers says that there were ten more
patients for admission just as soon as
they were ready TO receive them. He
states that at present there are 955 pa
tlents at the asylum. OF these 492 are
females and 46S males. The fact of
women being in the majority is regard
ed as unusual.

DAY NURSERY.

The Kings Daughters Day Nursery
is one of the youngest charities in the
city. 1t was organized last April by
the city union of the society. whose
name it bears, and has been conducted
composed of ladies elected from the
different circles Of the Kings Daugh-
tiers in the city
That there was a need, we might
say crying need, for such a char1Ly

wonderful success of the undertaking.

opened there were forty-five entries.

women were In this way enabled to
not only obtain work and earn money.
but to know that their children were
getting good care and proper whole
some food.
The price for each child is five cents
per day. A competent matron is in
charge and the children become so at
tached to her and to the nursery that
they frequently refuse to leave when
the mother comes for them, and are
often carried home weeping and wall
ing. Toys and books of all kinds are
provided for the children's amusement.
Clean aprons are also in readiness and
several iron beds with their white COW
erlets invite the tired little ones to
sleep, which they frequently do. At
present the nursery has besides the
transients quite a number of children
who are regular boarders. The young
est of these is two months old. the old
est six years. These children belong
to women who could not keep them al
night, as they are employed too far
away TO go after the children in the
evenings, and To return them to the
nursery in the morning.
The board of managers feel very
grateful to the public for the kindness
and generosity shown to the nursery
in the past. They have decided 10
have Wednesday, October 10. as a nar-
vest home day. when donations Of ev-
cry kind will be gratefully received at
the nursery. Potatoes. groceries. can
ned vegetables and fruits, dry goods.
bed clothes and money can all be made
use OF. The nursery is open for in
spection at any time. and every one in
terested is cordially invited to call.
