GENERAL GRANTS TOMB.
Was Dedicated With the Most Inn
posing Of Ceremonies.


New York, April 29.-Never but
once in the history of the world and
never before in the history of the Unit
ed States has such tribute been paid
to the noble dead as when today, with
wondrous pageant by land and sea, the
nation dedicated the tomb that now
holds the body of Ulysses S. Grant. It
was an occasion more of triumphant
eulogy and national pride than of a
funeral rite, for in the twelve years
since first the nation mourned for
Grant, the keenness Of the grief had
worn of, and there lives in the hearts
of men the hero-worship which found
such tumultous vent today. The great
est of our citizens, our soldiers and our
sailors today stood side by side with
men of fame, and almost every nation
of the earth paid, without regard to
race, creed or party prejudice, the last
and long-delayed honor of the living to
the dead, while the greatest throng that
ever filed the city Of New York added
its surging peans to the loud belching
of guns and the tramp of marching SOL
diers. And in that throng there was
no North and no South, for since the
soldier president had said, "Let us
have peace" the gray had blended with
the blue.
Before the presidential party left the
city to take part in the dedication cere-
monies, the fag-decked streets were
black with people, who cheered vocifer-
ously as the great men drove by. When
the tomb was reached, a strange sight
met the eye. All around the oval. in
the center Of which stood the monu-
ment to Grant, were what seemed to
be black hillocks. This somber back.
ground was formed by thousands of
spectators, who filled the stands built
up from the ground on both sides of the
tomb to the level of the steps that led
to it's massive doors. To the south,
where the loop around the oval met
the riverside drive there were two solid
lines Of humanity. On all four sides
Of the monument oval stands were
packed to overlooking, while facing
these crowds was the great mass of
eager sightseers who had not been OFF,
cially provided for.
The solemn services of dedication
seemed to throw a strange hush over
this vast throng. The president stood
bareheaded in the wind. When he
spoke he was heard distinctly by the
$1,000 people who stood directly in
front of him.
General Porter's grafton in honor of
the hero seemed to impress the crowds
less than the sight of the pale-faced,
bareheaded president beside the widow
Of the dead general, ex-President Cleve-
land and the gray-haired statesmen and
soldiers. 1t was their presence rather
than their words that lent solemnity to
the occasion, and when it was all over,
and Mayor Strong had formally received
from the nation the trust of the tomb,
and the president and party disappeared
in the luncheon tent, sigh OF relief
went up from the crowd, for at last the
hero laid in the tomb befitting such re-
nown and fittingly dedicated by a CRATE
full nation.

"A Terrible ven~eance.

Perry, O. T., April 2s.-John and
Sam Hunt, living at Washita river,
tied Charles Goodall, aged II. to q wild
horse and pushed both the boy and tho
horse over the steep blun into the
Washita river. Young Goodall had
been the hired boy ON the Hunt farm
for more than year, and the brothers
claimed he ruined their sister, Amelia.
They compelled the boy to get on the
horse, threatened him with death, and
then made the horse run f0r miles ct
full speed. When the horse was ex-
hausted the men pushed him with the
rider over the cliff. Men near rescued
the boy and he may live. The Hur =
have left the country. They are know II
az bad men, and neighbors will prob
ably lynch them If caught.
