out, and u clean cloth. was spread
upon them.

soup, were disguised in infinite va

served for fish, roast, entremets and

green silk umbrella. A little red
wine was eked out with water, up

tramped along with us on the road

on the boulevards and sharpening
their remembrance of the absent
joy of ladies' company by address

That was gayety put to good use
and of sterling quality. Little won

his conclusions thus: "Three or four
Frenchmen can live upon the ra-

more jolly upon their empty stom-

made of remembrances of the past

Police Raid Questionable Resort.

For some time past City Marshal
Call has had grim suspicious that the
cheapest kind of DRINKS We're procur-
able at a house in that section of the
city known as THE Head of the Falls.
The keeper of the house had been ex-
postulated with by the marshal and va
rious others until orations became tire
some. Tuesday morning, City Marshal
Call and officer Thomas King went to
the house. which is occupied by Joseph
Baldic, and asked for admittance. They
were told to go to ---, but they
didn't: they went through the loor. 1t
required the smashing of two doors to
land the officers in the wine room.
They found two barrels of cider that

further touch of the hand of time. II

life out of a man at long range and
just prior to doing the trick incites men
to quarrel and makes them believe that
they own the globe. That particular
consignment of cider will never cause
any more trouble, for the marshal took
it in charge and to the lookup at the
same time. Joseph has an appointment
with his honor, Judge Shaw. that Will

THE MEMORIAL ADDRESS
BY Dr.. Farnham in City Hall, WaterviIle
Monday Evening.

AT the request of many Grand Army
men we publish below the full text of
the Memorial grafton delivered in City
hall, Monday evening. Being intro
duced. DIR. Farnham said:
Members of the Grand Army of the
Republic and Fellow Citizens:
The echo of the first cannon which
belched it's thunders against the walls
of Sumpter, shattered one of the might
lest republics the earth ever saw into
atoms. States that had contentedly
dwelt together in peace and prosperity
instantly became separated discordant
and belligerent. Then followed one of
the mightiest wars the history of civil
ization records.
In one sense it was a civil war, in
another it was not. No war is civil.
War is brutal. All serious questions of
political economy, all grave disputes
concerning governmental politics,
whether national or international,
should be settled by arbitration. I'm
til reason and arbitration take the
place of bloodshed and the sword we
can see no true grandeur of nations -
Bnt the war was inevitable. William
II. Seward of New York aptly termed
it 1.-The irresistible conflict" 1t was a
conflict to save the nations life. And
we are met here today, to pay to those
who saved the Union the tribute of our
love. and to once more place upon the
graves of bravery the flowers of
spring. They were brave and splendid
men. They enlisted at a time when the
very air was filled with alarm-when
tremor of strange emotion was felt
throughout the land, at time when it
seemed that the union of the states
was about to be permanently broken up
| and destroyed; at time when gov
| which was loved by every lover of lib
erty, in this liberty loving.
1t has been so many years since
secession persisted in the iron grasp of
Grant at Appomattox, that we can
hardly realize, today, the sacrifice
made and the eart-break endured by
| those brave volunteers, who enlisting,
| embraced wives and endeavored, in
words spoken in the old tones, to drive
| away the awful fear-stooping over
cradles and kissing the soft faces of
sleeping babies. How some received
the blessings of old men, how lovers
fingered to repeat once again those
| sweet vows of eternal love-how some
pressed them to their hearts again and
again and said nothing, mute with
herat-break. How the husband stops
at the turn of the road and throws
back the last wave of the hand and
his brave wife answers by holding high
in her loving hands his child. He is
