of the boomers was to make . resort Of the
place, either for summer or winter pleas

was being planned the announcements was
made that Russell Harrison, the presi-
dents son, was coming west and would
pass through Hardy on his way to Kansas

speeches should sbe made while the train
Stopped, not to speak Of an ovation Of an

American Colony In Paris DccOrates
His Tomb.
Paris, May 30.--With viey to check the
blatant pro-Spanish feeling here and en-
list the sympathies of the Trenchmen in
the side OF America special effort was
made by the American colony today to do
honor to the memory OF Lafayette. A big
gathering proceeded to his tomb in the
Pichus cemetery, which was decorated with
wreaths and mutual flags. The United
states ambassador. General Horace Porter,
deposited the American wreaths. and in ar
eloquent speech referred to Americas debt
to Lafayette and the "unbreakablc ties be-
tween the two peoples"
He was warmly applauded.
NJ. Barthold followed in the same strain
but he said he deplored the fact that It has
been revealed that there existed a new
spirit among modern Americans, which
differed from the traditions of the foreign
ers of the republic
Continuing. NJ. Barthodi said Frenchmen
looked to General Porter as Americans like
him keep the United States faithful to the
great principles of liberty and justice
which presided at the birth of the republic
The military band played the American
and French anthems and all those who at
tended the ceremonies defiled before tn,
tomb.
