THE GRAYS' MEMORIAL DAY
GRAVES or DECEASED COMRADES
 HONORED YESTERDAY.
Actives With Veterans Attended Divine Service ut Davenport Church in the Morning,

Service at Davenport Church in the
 Morning.
 The Grays held their annual Memo rial exercises yesterday. They attend ed divine service in the morning at Davenport Congregational church, where Rev. George Foster Prentiss preached an appropriate sermon, which the company enjoyed very much. Cap- tain McCabe was in command. Among the veterans present were Hon. James M. Townsend the oldest living ex- captain of the Grays, who is still very active and vigorous for his age. Also among the veterans was General E. F. Bradley, who was captain of the com- pany about thirty three years ago. The church calendar containing notices of the week were distributed through the pews. They had the following refer ence to the Grays: "We are very glad to welcome to our morning service to- day the New Haven Grays, a military and historic organization of which we are justly proud. The text was as fol- lows. And each one resembled the children of the king" The subject was "Soldierly Soldiers Reference was made by the pastor to the ex- ce1lent history of the organization and he mentioned the names of the following deceased officers: Lieutenant Colonel Merwin, Major Osborn, Ser geant Fowler, Captain Chapman and others. Continuing, he said that mind was superior to matter. He spoke of the depravity of the Spanish mind which is illustrated by their enjoyment of that brutal sport of bull fighting. Although mind is superior to matter the mind is influenced by it's, food and the matter upon which 1t dwells in thought. The one essential quality of a soldier is fearlessness.
 Tn the afternoon the company assem- bled at the armory at 2:30 and march ed first to Grove street cemetery and then to Evergreen cemetery. At each cemetery they decorated with wreaths and flowers the graves of their dead. At the Grove street cemetery a large crowd had gathered and watched the ceremonies. While the Second Regi- ment band played 'The Holy City, the company divided into five squads and going to each grave placed thereupon the testimony of their memory and re- spect for their dead comrades
 After Evergreen cemetery had been visited in the same way the company returned to the armory.
 A number of veterans accompanied the command. Two members who are absent on leave of absence from camp at Mantle were present, A. M. Osborn in the uniform of the First Connecti- cut Heavy artillery, and Corporal Gruener of Go. K, First Connecticut regiment.

 Lovers of light opera will be delight ed to learn of the appearance of the fa- nous Bostonians tonight and to-mor- row night.

Macdonald, Jessie Bartlett Davis, Helen Bertram, William F. Philip, George aFrothingham, William Broder- ick, Harry Brown, w. H. Fitzgerald, Josephine Bartlett, Lloyd Rand, Caro- lyn Daniels, and $. l.. Studley, musical director. The opera to be presented here tonight will be "The Serenade," which is victor Herbert and Harry B. Smiths tuneful opera, which has creat- ed such a favorable expression that it has excluded other productions by the Bostonians and bids fair to divide hon. ors with Robin Hood' The opera will be mounted with special scenery and embellished with new and appro- priate costumes. On Tuesday night Robin Hood" will be sung. Sale of seats now open. Prices soc, 75c, $1 and S150

Recently there have been tales
abroad that Hon. W, P. Thorne, of
Eminence, would not continue in the
race as a Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky. In
regard to the report he said:

any such statement nor do l suppose

to induce any one to begin lying on

Progress in Japan.

Educational progress in Japan is
strikingly illustrated by the approach
ing completion in Toxic of an illus
tration for the higher training Of
women, which, when it is formally
opened a few weeks hence, will repre-
sent an outlay of more than 100000
This splendid project. which has re-
Ceived the cordial support of the most
enlightened classes of the Japanese
people from the Emperor and EN-.
press down to the lowest grades OF
government officials, marks the be.
ginning of new era in the intellect,
ual life of that remarkable race. A
few years ago the idea of establishing
a university for the higher education
of women in japan would have beer
considered absurd and impracticsble
but under the new and progressive
conditions which have arisen there i
has become not only possible, but al
accomplished fact.

Neutral Intervention Imp ossibIs

The prominence which the Presi-
dents message gives to the discussion
of Intervention Gas an impartial neu-
trail by imposing a rational compro.
mise between the contestants" indi-
Gates a preference on the part of Mr..
Mckinley for that method of dealing
with the situation in Cuba.
A very little consideration will suf-
flee to show that neutral Intervention
of the kind thus proposed is simply
impossible.
1t would involve, as the President
himself comedies, "hostile constraint
upon both the parties TO the contract,
as we'll to enforce truce as to guide
the eventual settlement"
Are we prepared TO send an armed
force into Cuba which shall assume
an attitude of hostility toward the in
surgents as we'll as toward their Span
ish oppressors? Do we desire to as
sumo the functions of a military po-
lice, standing Indifferent between the
conflicting parties on the island? II
we undertook to play such part, is it
not plain that we should incur the
deadly hatred of both combatants and
be unable to impose our will upon
either, without an enormous sacrifice
of blood and treasure? An American
army in Cuba, standing between
Spanish foes on the one hand and Gu
ban foes on the other, would not be in
pleasant position.
No; we are without reason for in
terfering in Cuba at all, unless we GO
there as friendly to Cuba and cor
respondingly unfriendly to her Span
ish oppressors. 1t lie as the active
ally of the insurgents that we should
intervene, and with their cooperation
sweep the Spaniards out of the island,
which they possess only to wrong.
Once do away with Spanish misrule
and the future of Cuba will take care
of itself.
| The dominion of Spain over Cuba
is an evil thing--a thing so evil that
neutrality of sentiment in regard to it
would be national disgrace. The
American people do not feel neutral
about it. They are not impartial. In
contest between that which is right
and that which is wrong, impartiality
is not what is needed for the welfare
of the world. 1t is the victory of the
right. There are some subjects in re-
gard to which a man ought to be
ashamed not to be prejudiCed. He
! should be prejudiced against lying
and stealing and against villainy Of
every sort. He should hate such a
Government as that of Spain in Cuba
and, hating it, should desire its dc.
struction.
We regret the atmosphere of gray
neutrality about the Presidents mes.
