in the United States The care and az

heroic dead, gauges the civilization OF
the nation. In various parts OF the

er that those who have given their AZ

The meeting of the Democratic State
Committee in advance of that OF their
opponents is regarded in some quar-
ters as an indication of renewed con-
fjdence in the success of the party at
The polls 1t is customary for the party
in power to wait until its opponents
have taken the initiative, and the de-
parture from this custom has been
something of a surprise. 1t is, howev-
err perhaps, explained by the fact that
many of the members of the committee
are about to go on their vacations, and
they want the work Of the committee
arranged in advance. The Republican
committee will soon be called, but
in the meantime the election Of dele
gates to both conventions goes on.
The camp at Montauck is getting into
shape rapidly and visitors from this
city will soon begin to make their APP
pearance. The desire is to see and con-
verse with the men who have been at
the front and participated in the thick
of the conflict. Distant as the camp is
from this city, being located at the ex-
treme eastern end of Long Island, 1t
is believed that as soon as the camp Is
permanently established. that the flood
of visitors will be very large. If these
predictions prove true the location OF
the camp will be good thing for the
Long Island railroad, which will run
additional trains, if necessary, to meet
the demands.

The other two, through a mistake,
walked Eve miles more than necessary,
but they all reached the goal before the
carnivorous pedestrians, OF whom only
one came in, the other thirteen having
dropped out before half the space had
been covered This would seem to be
all that could be desired as vindica-
tion of a vegetable diet. And now it 4
would be interesting to know exactly
on which vegetable these German Pc
destrians won the victory. Doubtless
sauerkraut.
Kiralfy's great American naval show
opened at the Madison Square Garden
'Our Naval Victofies, 2 is its title. Ey-
cry ship that figured on either side In
the present war is seen. These proto. |
types of the originals are iron ships,
propelled by electricity. Their guns
belch forth fire and the effect OF the
fusillade of shots from the American
fleets is seen in the silencing OF
the guns ON the Spanish ships; their
destruction is pictured and flames Will
be seen to envelop them before they
sink. Such scenes are full OF interest
and excitement On the large lake
which occupies the entire open space
in the arena these miniature war yes
sells perform their evolutions and the
tactics adopted in the battle OF Manila
by Admiral Dewey are reproduced ex-
actly it is claimed-every detail recelv-
