The next day Mrs. Farnham had an

Enthroning an Archbishop.

Whenever new archbishop of
Canterbury is appointed he has to pay
out nearly $4,000 in fees before he can
be ''enthroned." Some of the recipients
of this tax are the officials of the board
of green cloth, the gentleman usher of
the black rod and other similarly obso-
lete and useless functionaries.-N. Y.

MIR. Hanna in his speech the other
day says that he was the friend of the
poor man and that the prosperity Of one
would mean the prosperity of all. II
anyone doubts Mr.. Hanna, reference
can be made to the following: The
men who left 20 per cent. of their wages
in their clutches when they went on
strike; the street car men of Cieve-
land. There are probably others who
would bear eloquent testimony to Mr..
Hanna's labors in behalf of the work
ingmen, but these will do for starter.

How They are Getting Well.

Mr.. James Carroll, of Armstrong,
Iowa, who is stopping at the Mower
House, arrived in the city about ten
days ago. He was afflicted with par
alysis and rheumatism and unable to
get around without assistance. He is
now we'll, after ten baths at the Stew
art bath house, and expects to start
home in a few days we'll man.
Mrs. Ina Hood, of Duel county, Neb.,
who is stopping at the Clifton, has
been taking baths at the Stewart with
wonderful effect When she came she
was unable to use her limbs, both arms
and legs. Now after seven baths she
can dress herself and walk with q little
assistance. They do say that baths at
the Stewart are making some wonder
full cures. It is q great card for Hot
Springs to have such cures published
to the world.

Sunday Services at the Home.

Memorial services were held in the
chapel of the Soldiers Home Sunday
afternoon, May %, the sermon being
delivered by Rev. B. f. Pearson of the
Presbyterian church, assisted by Pre-
siding Elder Clough and Rev. Sea-
brook of the NJ. e. church. Rev. Pear
sons sermon was one of the grandest
and best ever delivered in the Home
chapel. 1t was to the point and SER
mon that brought the old veteran back
to his boyhood days and made him feel
young. The prayer delivered by Rev.
Seabrook was touching and SO affect
ing that the old heroes began to think
that it was about time to begin prepar-
alton for the hereafter, and with Elder
Clough with his beautiful remarks and
advice for preparation for the grave
as the three score years and ten are
upon us, or nearly all.
Then the singing by Mesdames Stew
art, Boomer, Cleveland aud others was
grand and good. The decorations of
the chapel were the most beautiful we
ever had the pleasure of seeing in the
chapel. The ladies of the Home, Mes
danes Lucas and Kintner, assisted by
our florist, Kocher, were the artists.
Their services were highly appreciated
and they have been engaged in ad-
vance for all snch xvorlr
The interest taken in the observance
of the day by the people generally is
commendable, as it shows that the
deeds of the heroes who gave their
lives to keep inviolate this glorious
union are not soon to be forgotten.

How 1t Will lie Observed by the Loyal Cit
izens of Hot Springs.
Saturday, May 29th, will be observed
as Memorial day. This is a hallowed
day, the festivalof our dead; no need is
there to eNhort our comrades to it's
proper observance. On this holy day we
hold communion with those of our old

memories honored when we, too, shall
have been called to join the great ma
jority.

with our choicest flowers and raise
above them the flag they loved so we'll
and which their valor helped to re-
deem.
We invite to our assistance that no.
BILE band of workers, the Women's Re-
lief Corps, who have done SO much to-
wards the success of our great organ
ization; and also the Sons of Veterans,
awho must soon take up the work which
the ravages of time shall compel us to
lay down.
We invite to our assistance the
county and city officials, mayor and
city council, ministers of the gospel,
doctors, lawyers, citizens, schools
and church members of all denomina-
tion to lay aside all work that sacred
day and discourage the holding of
games and frivilous amusements there
on by thoughtless people in every pos
sible way.
