 'Yes, you will; I'll make you leave the force!'' Lees turned on still more steam as he said this, but Whitman did not pen his resignation then and there Instead he reiterated the statement that ne would not yield to the Chiefs demands.
 Then the two voices became confused roar and nothing could be distinguished until Whitman shouted out:
 "Oh, that Chinatown affair is dead" al- luding to his own trial.
 After a time the two calmed down and the captain left the room, only to return in a few minutes but the voices did not talked long and at times exceedingly earnest.
 After Whitman retired to his own rooms the Chief was questioned as to the cause of the outbreak, but denied In the most positive words that there was the slight est friction between Whitman and himself. have had no hard words with Captain Wittman?'
 Most assuredly not. We were discuss ing matters pertaining to the welfare of phatically on some topics, as 1 sometimes do, but as for having any words with Cap tain Whitman, It s absurd.
 And you did not tell him that he would be forced to resign from the depart ment?'
 T said nothing of the kind. Whitman and I have never had a word of trouble. He is good policeman and will remain on the force"
 Captain Whitman was equally positive that nothing In the nature of disagree ment had taken place between himself and Lees. He did say, however, that their discussion had become quite heated and that he had been obliged to talk loud to explained his refusal to resign by saying he had told Lees that certain people were trying to force him out, but he would not which the Chief replied: That's right; that's right" If this were all, it does not seem to call for such shouting on the part of both.

 One of the gratifying though rather unusual features of the affair was the large number of gentlemen present. Soldier and civilian elbowed one an- other in the vast multitude and went down into the recesses of well-lined pockets and plethoric purses oft and many times and without coaxing or pressing invitations. The girls at the booths were so pretty, affable, we'll gowned and altogether stunning that the sterner sex could not help but buy, and if change was now and then in the press of business forgotten the ne- glect was instantly overlooked by the hypnotized purchaser. The afternoon and evening hours of the tea" shared equally in favor on the point of at tendance. Both programmes were equally attractive.
 A delightful bit in the afternoon was the recitations and songs of the Chi nese girls and boys from the Presby- terian Mission. The little ones. ar rayed in all the brilliancy of rich Ori- ental costume, waved the stars and stripes and in childish treble piped the Battle Hymn of the Republic"
 The programme of the afternoon in full was as follows:

A BIG DEFICIT.
Kilpatrick's Report Places the School
 Board in a Bad Light

board III Bad Light.
 The Grand Jury last evening continued its investigation into School Board af- fairs to the extent of hearing the first re- port of its expert, Professor E. c. KiI- . patrick.
 Professor Kilpatrick's report does not present the sunniest prospect possible Tor teachers and pupils, during the coming year. To begin with, the new board is heir to an estimated deficit of $500 0OO- more than enough to run the entire school system for three months. The actual de- felt on October 30 was $262 900, and there are unpaid bills on hand aggregating S75.- = 900, which, under. the one-twelfth act. must be paid before the end of the year or not at all. Professor Fitzpatrick says that this enormous deficit will probably necessitate the closing of the schools dur ing the coming year for three months at least.
 The case of F. Muller was also consid- cred. Muller was arrested some time ago on charge of robbery sworn to by one Robinson When his case came up before Judge Mogan he was released with nothing in the way of trial because of previous good character The evidence of two taken. The School Board investigation will be resumed this evening"

Memorial Day Calls Not For Dirges, but
For Joyful Music,

Memorial Day Calls Not For Dirses, but
For Joyful Music.
Our heroes were serious people. They
died in serious cause. For them can
be no regrets, no apologies, and, we
trust, no orecriminations. This Memorial
day is not alone festival of peace and
reconciliation, but of duty-praise for
the work that was done, courage for
that which remains to be done. Our
songs should be triumphal-no dirges,
no sorrow or anger or pain. The men,
orles we consecrate are sacred. These
were our heroes. If to them was vouoh-
safed the thrilling joy Of achievement,
upon us devolves the duty of preserving
what they won and holding IL good
against the world.
The music will cease, the flowers will
fade. eloquence will be stilled, and these
spring days now suffused with color,
life and sweet perfumes will soon pass
away. We shall turn from our dead and
leave them to their hushed repose. But
we cannot be Indifferent to the admoni-
tions and the inspirations of these
graves. Let us rather take from them
pure and resolute patriotism and con-
tinue our duties Of citizenship, strength
ened by their sufferings, their achieve
ments and their renown.-John Russell

WATCH THE DATE.
Smith is Silent.

The Middlebury Register has begun
anew the agitation Of the temperance ques
ton. The editor has discovered that the
people are willing, nay, anxious to have
the present law changed if there is any
alternative other than license law. He
says: cit is beginning to be very evi-
dent to all that the present prohibitory
law has outlived its usefulness. Its enforce.
ment is spasmodic, its operation most un-
satisfactory; SO that as soon as the voters
feel sure that another law can be secured,
better adapted to the interests of temper
ance, they are, we believe, without ques.
ton, or very serious division, going to try
it,"
After considering the conditions the edi-
tor thinks the best law to adopt is what is
known as the Norwegian temperance law
after which the South Carolina law is
modelled. Before beginning an active
campaign, in behalf of the new law the
editor wrote letter to Col. f. G. Smith
of St. Albans as the most prominent candi-
date for the next governor Of Vermont,
asking which he favors, prohibition or
license, or possibly neither or both and
Mr.. Battell tells the public that to date the
oracle has given no response. The Bur-
lngton Clipper addressed a similar request
to Col. Smith some time ago, but silence
dense as midnight reigned. The editor of
the Register, who acts on the theory that
man who runs for office is bound to
answer all the questions fred at him, is
not at all pleased with Mr.. Smiths reti-
cence, and threatens dire things. He
intimates that the colonel is not the only
man in Vermont, although people at this
end of the state have begun to suspect be
is, and gives list of names as long as
ones arm of those who are &c fearless, up
right. and outspoken," any one of whom
would make an excellent governor. This
is the final paragraph of column editorial:
"We hold in reserve the name of Mr.. E.
c. Smith of St. Albans until he has
answered the questions of the Register and
Clipper, and told the people whether he is
IN favor of prohibition or license, or what
bis views may be upon the subject of ten
perance Legislation at this time in Yer
mont"
1t is supposed to be true the world over
that uneasy lies the head that wears
a crown" bnt in this instance the present
tense must be changed to the future.

thunderbolt Of war, madly riding to
the front, shouting to his retreating
troops, "Face the other way, boys; face

Who is this who destroyed all the

A MEMORIAL DAY FANCY.

Bury them under flowers, with wreaths at the
fest and head
To these of tho dead all honors, for they are
the nations dead,
Who sleep with the swords long rusted aside
Of the palsied hands
In q world where no word is spoken that man
Of us understands.
Though now and then there's a rustic seems
moving among the leaves,
A gust OF wind in the tree tops or forest OF
branches heaves,
And, standing hero in the shade of shafts OF
marble and of stone
We start. for our heart Is beating, and we
know we are not alone
Alone where our dead are lying, alone with q
thousand dead,
Alone, and these graves around us, each with
1t pillowed headi
There are NO dead forever vvhsro A>fth IN tho
oeao remains;
The blood that has sealed the nation Ia blood
of our living VEINS
80 keep the tryst unbroken that comes as the
year rolls round
And bring your springtime tribute for God 3
prisoners underground
Who peer from the graves to beokon and pluck
at our garments hem.
They need US, but, ah, more sorely the nation
Is needing themi
How often have I fancied. an idle whim, may
be,
But the image is often pictured, and close my
eyes and see
Battalions grave and spectral in march and
countermarch,
And never q word Is spoken under the sky's
black arch,
But with the old maneuvers, with the old
precision, too,
March till the dawning shimmers the souls
Of the white review;
4 common camp in the moonlight, with never
thought to slay
In the hearts of the loyal legion or in those of
the rebel gray.
The fiery souls of the southland who drew the
sword with Lee,
The men Of that days Ulysses and those who
marched to the sea,
From their unsealed graves in the moonlight
in the trappings Of war come FORTH
The boys Of the cotton country and those of
tho loyal north,
And some who are weak and wounded who
faint in the toilsome way,
Seem happy to lean on the helping arm of eli
ther the blue or gray.
And the angel Of peace is smiling, all passion
less and white,
On the souls Of our heroes camping under the
stars tonight
