WINCHESTER MEMORIAL-DAY.
A Large Crowd and an Interesting
Programme Carried Out.


WINCHESTER, VA, June 6.-(Special)
Confederate Memorial-Day was cele-
brated in Winchester this afternoon
under clear skies. Early this morning
people began to drive into town from the
surrounding country, and by midday
over ten thousand persons were here.
Main, Water, and Market streets were
lined by living walls between which the
three divisions Of the parade passed.
The Ladies' Memorial Association and
many visitors were keenly disappointed
as Senator John w. Daniels inability to
be present as the orator of the occasion.
Senator Daniel did not positively accept
or decline the invitation until last week,
when he wrote that the unusual rush OF
important public business would keep
him confined in Washington, where he
was held like a reconcentrado.
Rev. Dir. S. X. Cox, pastor OF the Meth
odist Episcopal church, South, this city,
delivered an eloquent and touching me-
mortal address In the absence OF Sena-
tor Daniel.
One of the most novel and significant
features of the parade was the large
number OF United States flags carried
by the various bodies. Every member
Of the Friendship Fire Company waved
the Stars and Stripes, and the Berkeley
County Camp, Confederate Veterans, OF
Martinsburg, marched under them. In
the parade were local and visiting camps
Of veterans and Sons Of Veterans, the
Fire Department, and school children
dressed in red, white, and blue
The following programme was followed
at the cemetery: Music, Union Cornet
Band; Prayer, Rev. f. B. Jackson;
Music, Mechanics Band; Music, Friend
ship Band; Poem, read by Professor w.
w. Glass; Address, by Rev. DR.. 5. X. Cox;
Benediction. Rev. DR.. J. p. Hyde.
The poem was an original one, and
was written by o. w. Schafer and dedi-
Gated to the Stonewall Brigade, and to
the memory of the soldiers who fell in
defence of the South.
It is not generally known, but II is,
nevertheless fact, that the custom of
decorating the graves OF the soldiers and
its birth in Winchester, and Stonewall
Cemetery has the honor of being the
first soldiers cemetery TO be established
and dedicated either North or South.
Stonewall Cemetery was formally
opened on October 9, 1865, and history
says that at its dedication Ex-Governor
Henry A Wise delivered one of the
grandest orations that ever fell from the
lips of man. Within it's confines are
buried 2,544 Confederate soldiers who
were killed in the battles fought in and
around Winchester or who died in the
hospitals.

The McGill Catholic Union met in ex-
traordinary session last night to receive

THE OFFICER NOT SUSTAINED.
Had No Right to Go on Private
Premises without a Warrant.

Premises without warrant
The most interesting case before the
Police Court yesterday morning was that
in which Policeman ]. c. Russell charged
that Mrs. A. L. Savage had interfered
with him in the discharge OF his duties.
The charge was very promptly dismissed.
The facts OF the case are these: Matilda
Brown. a colored woman, was seen by
the officer trespassing on the premises
OF No. 30l5 east Marshall street. He
suspected she was trying TO break into
the house with burglarious intent, and
attempted TO arrest Der. She sought
refuge in the back yard OF Mrs. Savage's
residence. The proprietor of the house
was In the yard at the time, and pushed
the policeman back as he was entering
the back gate. Mr.. Russell then arrest
ed her for interfering with him.
When the case was called yesterday
morning, Commemorative ttorney
Richardson gave IL as his opinion that
the officer had no right to enter the en-
closure OF a private residence unless with
warrant, or TO apprehend a person
charged with a felony. Justice Crutch-
fields views were the same, and the
charge was dismissed.

Trouble

When the yellow flag of quarantine
is hoisted over a dwelling it means disease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies in the face-when the cheek is sallow
and the clear white of the eye is dyed
saffron - there is danger. II is hpe
trouble. The liver is one Of the most i'm
pOrtant organs of the body. On the
proper discharge of its functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be-
gin to generate, and other organs of the
body become involved. Mover neglect
the liver if you value health. If you are
suffering from liver trouble, begin at
once the use of AYERS PILLS and you will
find prompt relief and permanent cure.

ufall the salaried or Presidential post
Offices in Vermont, there are only twelve
this year that show an increase over last
year in the salary of the postmaster, and
one of them is Hyde Park, which is raised
from $1,000 to S17OO. 1t is only eight
years since Hyde Park became "Prrsi-
Dental" office. Before that time the
postmaster received less than $1,000.
The growth in the Hyde Park office runs
practically parallel with the growth of
ex.Gov. Pages calf skin business; $1,000
salary means a business of $1,000 to
S210O, and S1700 salary means a
business of S5OO0 to $4,000, an increase
of nearly 3oO%. We think no other town
in the State approaches Hyde Park in its
ratio of growth in this department.
