AT.THE CEMETERIES.

At the cemeteries during the day
there was a large attendance of veteran
soldiers. citizens, ladies and children,
and the graves of Union and ex-Confed-
crate veterans were alike covered with
flowers. AS a veteran Union soldier re-
marked last evening after day spent
in the work of remembering the dead:
There is no longer any distinction be-
tween the two classes OF American SOL
diers. Each fought for what he thought
was right, as he saw the right, and all
i'll feeling, animosity and sectional pre-
JUDGE has completely disappeared never
to be heard from again
The veterans, the ladies of the aux
ilary organizations and many others
assembled yesterday morning at |. ..
o. F. hall, for the work at the Gene
teries north of the creek, and at the
hall of Stephens Post, Thirty-siXth and
Jacob streets, for the work at Mt. Zion
cemetery, and thence the various de-
tails heretofore published departed to
fulfill the duty imposed upon them.
Many school children accompanied the
veterans, or were at the cemeteries
when they arrived, and this is particC-
larly true of Mt. Zion, where Prof
Crago had aroused a decided interest
in tee day among his scholars, and dur
ing the exercises did much to increase
the understanding Of the day among the
children About three hundred boys
marched to the cemetery. The exer-
eises contained in the ritual Of the G.
A. r. was faithfully followed in every
instance. and there was an abundance
of flowers No grave of veteran in
either army was forgotten, and during
the remainder of the day the contrf-
buttons of flowers made by the veter-
ans were supplemented by other flowers
from relatives or friends of the de-
parted.
In the afternoon a strong detachment
Of veterans visited the Peninsula ceme-
terry, where the exercises were some
what more elaborate than at the other
cemeteries during the morning. Rich
ard Robertson introduced Prof Crago
to the large assemblage of people. and
the result was brief but very appro-
pirate address which was listened to
with close interest.
A great deal Of credit is due the ladies
Of the Relief Corps for the success of
the days cbservances at the cemeter-
les They were untiring in their eff
forts, not only to procure flowers, but
to do all the other things which could
aid in the success of the anniversary,
and they well deserved the praise they
received

NOTES OF THE DAY.

The Ladies Of the G. A. r. visited the
Stone Church, Mt. Calvary, Greenwood,
Peninsula Mt Wood and Mt. Zion Gem
eteries with baskets and bouquets of
flowers, and also attended the ritualistic
services by the G. A. R. at these GEM
eteries.
The graves of soldiers in the Nc
Mechen and Boggs' run cemeteries were
decorated by veterans from Benwood
assisted by public school children. An
address was made by Rev. B. B. Evans.
There was a general observance of
the day at Moundsville, feature being
a large flag which was raised at Hodge
mans brick works, and which attract
ed a large number of people. The ad-
dress was by Hon. B. F. Melghen. In
the afternoon there was a very credit
able parade through the town under the
command Of Or. r. W. Hall.
AT Bridgeport there was the usual
observance Of the day. The graves
were decorated at Weeks cemetery in
the morning, and at LinwOod cemetery
in the afternoon.
The decorations at the Court House
and City Hall were quite elaborate, and
Janitors Johnson and Sloan are de-
serving Of a great deal of credit for the
work done without any special appro-
priation.
The fact that war is in progress
doubtless had much to do with the
noticeable popular interest in the OBJ
servance of the day.
Let us hope that the present Spanish
war will add no graves to the number
now in the various local cemeteries.

Although the air was a trifle COOL
last evening, for summer trips around
the loop" the excursion given by the
Wheeling Railway Company was very
enjoyable one, and the new and hand
some "gunboat car" surnamed Dew
ey' thus early by the public, was voted
conspicuous success.
The Company had invited about fifty
gentlemen to make the initial trip OF
the season, and they gathered at the
Mcclure House at eight o'clock The
car came bowling up Market street. in
the care Of Superintendent Lotus and
competent crew a few minutes later,
and about ten minutes after eight the
party was successfully embarked and
the cruise began. Among those on
board were Mayor Butts, Sheriff Rich
ards, Circuit Clerk Henning, County
Clerk Richard Robertson, City Clerk
Watkins, City Receiver Alexander For
gey, Secretary of the Water Board John
Shellhase, City Solicitor Frank Nesbtt,
Chief of Police Bennett, President of
the Second Branch Of Council NJ A..
Chew, City Collector j. K. Hall, Sam
D. HAL lSOH dLu uldJOIlIy VI luo HELL
bers of both Branches of Council and
representatives of the newspapers. The
first run was to the upper end of the
line, at the Ravine, and after a brief
stop there the lines were cast off again
and the car went straight through to
the end of the line in Benwood, re-
turning to the Mcclure House about
half-past nine. All along there were
crowds of people at every street inter-
section to see the car and cheers and
cries of Dewey" were almost inces-
SAINT. The new car was greatly admired
by all who saw it, and these numbered
a good many thousand. 1T will be more
popular the coming summer than any
party car the road has ever owned, for
it is larger and has no top to obstruct
either the view or keep off the breeze.
1t is surmounted with double arch,
at the centre on top of which the name
of Dewey" will blaze in vari-colored
electric lights, while red, white and
blue lamps are thickly scattered over
the body of the car. 1t rides very
smoothly, because of its great weight,
and can accommodate fifty people with
out trouble.

Was the Presentation of the Luther
Entertainment at Fairmont.

Special to the Register.
Fairmont, w. Va, May 30.-The
principal attraction here for the 30th
Of May was the Luther entertainment
given under the auspices OF the Loyal
Circle of Kings Daughters, for char
ity. There were 1876 Fairmont people
who participated in the presentation,
which pleased SO well. Mrs. H. E.
Monroe and Miss Brown were IN charge.
The costumes were magnificent, the
music the best ever heard here, and
the acting enough to surpass anything
Of the kind ever given in this section
of the State. Miss Monroe's lecture
was greatly enjoyed and the stereoptl-
con portion was excellent. The lie or
Luther was nicely portrayed.
The categorical professional in which
John Keyser and Miss Edna Trickett
were the leaders, was the finest drill
ever given here The scene in the mon
astry at Erfurth was well presented.
w. S. Black was the Erfurth monk and
Maury Barrett was the soloist. The
choir was particularly good. The ia
nous trial at Worm was the best.
Capt w. w Scott was Emperor
Charles ", E. M Showalter was the
cardinal, w. r. Standiford was Martin
Luther, and c. Rice elector. Rev. P.
w. Snyder w. G. Shafer and Brown
Pughner took che other leading parts.
The ladies had their inning in the
next part, and the nuns and novices
leaving the convent, was a pretty and
touching scene Miss Matte Stone as
the Abbess, Mrs. w. A. Smith as Alice,
Miss Fanny Belle Huntington as Anna,
Miss Nell Barnes as Angelica, Miss
Grace Hood as Veronica, Miss Cora
Dickerson as Christiana. Miss Alice
Chley as Sarah, Miss Anna Lee Samp-
sell as Isabella, Miss Elizabeth Hay
mond as Catharine Won Bora Miss An
ma w. Fleming as Cecilia and Miss
Minnie Engle as Hilda were very good.
Miss Anna Sampsel's solo was greatly
enjoyed The allegorical closing was
very well presented and the tableau at
the close was time after time applaud
ed. 1t presented Earl H. Smith as
Uncle Sam, Miss Elizabeth Watson as
Columbia, and Miss Philla Jeffrys as
Cuba.
Quite large sum was cleared and the
entertainment will be repeated.

banu was at the Park, and programme
ana dancing music was furnished
lhroughout the afternoon and evening
Inc Fark was nearly at its best, and
perhaps never looked so we'll this early
IN the season, and the beauties of the
enclosure were appreciated correspond
ingly by the visitors.
4 AT Mozart Park there was music and
a variety of amusements, and no one
suffered from the heat on the hill top.
Last evening wraps and overcoats were
decidedly in evidence, but nevertheless
the cool and bracing air was greatly en-
joyed.

The observance of Memorial Day in
this city, yesterday, was more general
than for many years past-not par
ticularly as regards public demonstra-
TONS, FOR these were confined to the
usual decoration of the graves in the
various cemeteries and the raising of
two or three flags-but in the cessation
OF business and in the great rush Of
people cut of town. Thousands avail
ed themselves of the oportunity to pay
visit to the country Or suburbs, and
both Parks entertained large numbers
OF people, while there was a throng all
day long at the various cemeteries.
There were also many private picnics
and excursions, driving parties, bicycle
excursions, etc, and in one way and
another the day was one of recreation
as well as of tribute to the dead The
suspension Of business was as general
as upon the Fourth of July, particular
ly in the afternoon. The wholesale
district was quiet and very generally
deserted, while almost every large re-
tail store either closed up completely,
or only made a pretense of keeping
open. The groceries closed at noon,
and many other small retail estab-
lishments were largely silent The
thrOng upon the streets during the
day was sufficient evidence of holt
day, and in the evening the sidewalks
were crowded. A very large number
of visitors came from the towns on the
Ohio side of the river, enrOute to
Parks or cemeteries, and the street
cars and ferries did fine business all
during the day. The number of flags
displayed was unusual, as was to be
expected from the fact that the coun-
try is at war, and some Of the dis
plays were noticeable, among them
ace Furniture Company, Stone &
Thomas, George NJ. Shook & Co.,
George E. Stifel & Co., Joseph Lieber-
mann, Heymann Brothers, Kraus
Brothers, D. Gundling & Co., and many
others. The public schools were
closed for the day, as matter OF
course. and as a result the children
were very much in evidence. No acct
dent or scene of disorder marred the
day in any part of the city or sub
urbs. as far as could be learned.

LADIES OF THE G. A. r.

The members of the Ladies of the G.
A. X. attended the Chapline Street
Church in body on Sabbath morning,
where Rev. Anderson preached a beau
tiful memorial sermon. The church
was handsomely decorated with flowers
and potted palms and silken flags of the
national colors. The choir rendered
special music suitable for the occasion.
The sermon was one of the finest ever
listened to in this city, waH full of pa
triotic utterances and tender eulogies.
Great honor was shown the ladies, the
commander and comrades. At the close
of the services the pastor and the en-
tire congregation greeted and shook
hands with each member while the
choir sang Rock of Ages" 1t was a
scene which will long be remembered.
The Ladies Of the G. A. R. visited the
public shoots as appointed and were
very much pleased with the patriotic
exercises.
