LITERARY NOTES.

iarpers Weekly of July will con-
tain the first installment of e. f. Ben
son novel of the Greek war of indie
pendence, The Vintage" which is
said to be not only timely in theme,
but in spirit and in episodes curiously
like the experiences of the Greeks in
their recent war with the Turks.
In spirit and sentiment the July
Ladies' Home Journal is interestingly
in accord with that of our national
birth month. An article on THE
Greatest Nation on Earth, by William
George Jordan, pictures, in a most
vivid way, the vastness of the United
States, and by simple comparisons and
telling illustrations contrasts every
phase of our greatness with that of
other nations Allied in, patriotic
sentiment is Clifford Towards article,
When Dolly Madison Saved the
Declaration of Independence.
lIarper's Round Table of June 90 sis
the Fourth of July number, and it con-
tains thirty-t NO pages, with an illum-
mated cover. Howard Pyle contributes
and illustrates story entitled The
buccaneers and there are also short
stories by Til TilfortA and w. j.
Henderson.
"Why We Punctuate, or Reason VS..
Rule in the Use of Marks is the title
of volume recently issued by the
Lancet Publishing Company, Mime
| apolis. The editor is "a Journalist"
and with a true understanding of his
subject he has completed a work that
| proves blessing TO his fellow Journal
lists and to humanity in general.
! Speaking of the work j. +. Genuug,
Pm. D., Professor of Rhetoric, Amherst
| College, says:"I like the ground it
takes, that punctuation is not piece
of mechan cal business, but "a real
means of expressing thought. Pune
tuation is as truly part of composition
as the choice of words" The Boston
| Globe goes so far as to say mo stu
| dent of Engli sh should be without this
| book" AS there exists in the English
| language only one other treatise on
| the subject Of punctuation, and that
is out of print, ''Why We Punctuate"
| will doubtless have a great sale.

miles north Of this city. in the course
OF The services Sunday.
The families worship at the same
church. Just as the preacher had
taken his text after prayer and the
singing Of hymn, Garrison, who had
seat near the door, stepped to the
doorway, it is believed, to get some
fr@sh air, as the atmosphere in the
building was oppressive. He had no
more than reached the doorway when
the congregation was startled by a
fusilade of pistol shots.
When the firing ceased Augustin
Garrison and Frank Jones were lying
dead in front of the church syps and
Thomas Jones was stretched on the
lawn near by. His right thigh bone in

An old feud existing between the two
families is believed to have been the
cause OF the trouble.

test over the duties on manufactured

which has been the source OF much con.
troversy. As finally agreed on. the duty

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Decoration day brought good sized
 audiences to Polls Wonderland theater, and the general verdict on the show was one of satisfaction. As a purely comedy performance it ranks we'll up with many of the best that have been
 given at this theater during the pres
 ent season. The Bison City quartet, who head the bill, are particularly clever farceurs, their comedy being of a character to keep the laughter going continuously. The Bisons sing very sweetly in their part songs, their voices blending with keen musical pre-
 cision. As comedians they are adopts,
 their conception of the little German band being a particularly bright bit of humorous vocalsm. Another act which
 gave much satisfaction was that of John c. Fox, late of Conroy and Fox, and Nils Katie Allen. Both these art ists have already made eminent reputa-
 tions, and their speciality gives play for the best that is in them In the way of comedy acting. Others on the bill who present attractive specialties in- clude Miss Leona Lewis, Miss Francel- | Ii and MT Lewis, the Prentice trio, Mir.
 Bryant and Miss Daeville, Miss Clar- ice Vance and Mir and Miss Browning. Bicycles checked free at the door.

Ten Thousand People on the Green-3 ,O0O
 Sunday School Children-Address by Ex-
 T.ieutenant Governor Waylnnd.
 It was feared by many that the heavy showers of the morning would serious ly interfere with, if they did not entire- ly prevent, the afternoon exercises on the green, in which the children played so conspicuous a part. But to the grat- ification of every one, and especially to the youngsters who had long been an- ticipating the day, the skies left off the ir weeping at an early hour, so that by il o'clock Chief Marshel General E.. E. Bradley felt warranted in announc- ing that the parade would take place as announced.
 The crowds began to assemble on the green at an early hour, and by the time the parade was formed the historic old spot had put on a most lively and bril- liant appearance. Everywhere in evi- dence were the bands of children from the various Sunday school, each school being designated by its own banner, willie innumerable small national flags fluttered constantly from as many childish bands.
 The spectacle of over three thousand of the children of New Haven, the girls as well as the boys, thus joined in one public acknowledgment of the memories of those the day is dedicated to, was indeed most fitting and appropriate
 The parade formed on the walks at the west of the green at 2:30 o'clock, and the formation was in the main
 
 some delays owing to the crowded con- dition of the green.
 The place of honor at the head of the procession was occupied by the various corps of the G. A. R. The gray-haired veterans presented a fine appearance as they marched, keeping step to the martial music as they had done so oft before in the days of '61-65 The face of many a gray-haired hero of the war lighted up with a commendable spirit and pride as he kept step to the famil- jar strains once more.
 Chief Marshal General E. E. Bradley headed the first division, composed of the three G. A. R. posts and the Nathan Hale camp, Sons of Veterans. General Bradley's aides were Lieutenant s. F. PunderSon, Lieutenant Clarence B. Damn, Lieutenant Charles Smith. Will son H. Lee, Walter R. Downes, H. H. Tyler, F. M. Ward, H. F. Blogg, Cullen B. Fuute, Major Benjamin Jepson and other members of the general commit tee. Between the chief marshal and his staff was the Second regiment band under the leadership of Professor F. Ffchtl
 Following the first division came seven other divisions made up of the children from the SunJay schools all over the city.
 The Boys brigade from the various churches also turned out and presented a most creditable appearance in their handsome blue uniforms and by their soldierly bearing. The organizations par ticipating in the parade and their off, cers have been already printed in this paper.
