The following exercises were
carried out at the cemetery:
Reading Of Orders; services by
Commander; singing by choir;
prayer by chaplain; Lincoln's ad-
dress at Gettysburg by Mrs. r. B.
Armstrong; address by Prof. II.
Z. Wilson; services by Com
mander; firing party salute;

Rev. w. M. Balch.
The address by Prof. 81. L..
Wilson was an exposition of
patriotism and historical philoso-
ply. The speaker contrasted the
two civilizations that sprang up
in America in colonial times and
showed how the New England
civilization nodded public senti-
ment favorable to the highest hu-
man welfare. It was here that
the public schools fostered those
political and social ideas that have
been the foundation stones of our
national liberty and progress. In
the south, upon the other hand.
ignorance among the MASSES ow-
ing to the Indifference to public
education bred the ideas of the
|secessionist and justified the own
ership of slaves by Che southern
arlstocracy. Thus the intelli-
gence of the north met IN deadly
conflict the ignorance Of the south
and it was only the logical result
that the north triumphed. In re-
ferring to our war with Spain the
speaker demonstrated that the
same principle separates the U. 5.
and Spain. It is American intel
ligence combating Spanish lgnor-
ance and in this conflict America
is sure to succeed. Mr.. Wills on s
tribute to the living soldiers was
beautiful and touching. His ad-
dress was entirely American in
word and spirit and for it he has
the grateful acknowledgment OF
5 the entire community.

A Rot Preventative.

Farmers and gardeners will please
take notice of this valuable hint.
A cheap but sure preventive of po-
tato rot is the Bordeaux mixture,
the composition of which is as fol-
lows:
Copper sulphate (cost or cents q
pound ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. ............. .6lDS
Quicklime (unslacked lime) ........... Abs
Water..... ........... 45 gals.
Dissolve the copper sulphate by
putting it in bag of coarse cloth
and hanging this in vessel hold
ing at least four gallons of water,
so that it is just covered. Use an
'earthen OF. wooden vessel. Slack
the lime in an equal amount of
water; then mix the two and add
enough water to make forty five
gallons. Use at once.
For rots, moulds, mildews and
all fungous diseases this mixture
is certain preventive. 1t is not
a cure and therefore should be ap-
piled early. The first application
should be made when the vines
are about six inches high and
should be repeated every Swo
weeks or so thereafter. By mix
ing Paris green with it, it also in
creases the efficacy of that poison
in killing fleas, beetles, ETC., as it
causes the Paris green to adhere

Miss Nye's Benefit Concert.

The Benefit Entertainment last
evening on behalf of Miss Nye
was we'll attended considering
the weather. Without any dis
position to criticise the manage
ment Of the entertainment, yet we
feel justified in suggesting that in
the future the programs begin on
time and also that they be briefer.
The program Friday night re-
minded one of the menu pre-
pared by the good housewife with
a view to over feed the partakers.
Many a good dinner has been
spoiled by eating an extra piece of
pie and so also have many other
wise excellent entertainments
been undervalued simply because
there were too many responses to
weak, forced encores. A program
of one hour carried through with
out the painful silence between
acts" would add much to such
performances.
Miss Nye appeared several times
during the evening. She COM
mands the confidence of her audi
ence and it is unnecessary to say
that she came not too often.
Little Ethel Houston was the
star of the evening. She rendered
her childish selection so distinctly,
so naturally and so honestly that
the audience was impressed with
the fact that only a child can por-
tray child ideas. Little Ethel re-
vealed the child world with it's
beliefs, emotions and activities.
Clarence and Anna Dodge both
appeared to good effect.
Mrs. Truesdell rendered two Sc
lections which were highly appre-
ciated.
Mrs. Thatcher's solo was en-
ioyed. Mr.. Pratt and Mrs. Powell
were heartily encored but they re-
fused to respond.
Archie Shepard played master
piece on the piano from memory.
The trio by G. A. Smith, c. E.
Nelson and p. Gilbertson was as
5 usual one of the best features of
the evening.
Claud Wood and Geo. Foley did
we'll with their duet.
5 Miss Alice Cummings spoke
several times.
The Ross Orchestra provided
some good music.

Memorial Exercises.

Sunday morning the services
were held in the NJ. E. church
which was appropriately decorated
with flowers, flags and emblems.
The music was beautifully
rendered by the choir of the M.
E. church. The G.. A. r., w. r.
&c. and S. V. attended in body
numbering in all about two hum
dred. Altogether not less than
$50 were in the church.
Rev. VIM. Gill offered prayer.
Rev. E. D. Bewick followed with
the reading of Lincoln's Gettys-
burg Grafton.
Rev. w. M. Balch by request
delivered the memorial sermon.
He announced as his subject,
"The War of the Past and the
War of Today The speaker
said that a sufficient eulogy of
our soldiers dead could not be
spoken and therefore that the
Hottest tribute he could pay to
their memory would be to in
quire into the record of their
patriotic sacrifice for the princ1-
Piles which should guide their
}countrymen in the present and
future perils of the nation. Of
the war for the union he said it
was not like most wars of history
for the sake of territorial ex-
tension, military self-aggrandiz-
ment, fanaticism or revenge, but
war for the sake of love and
peace. It was therefore a true
Crusade and was providentially
}honored with victory. Such
should be the only wars a nation
should ever wage. This is what
) the veterans should teach our
nation in it's present crisis con-
cern1ng the war Of today. The
; speaker then proceeded to demon
strate that it's results promised
5 the liberation of 100000 peo-
5 pie in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
PHILIPPINES; the recognition by
the United States of it's larger
duties to international inter-
ests; the promotion of Spain s
Gown interests by freeing her from
international complications that
she might attend to her domestic
progress. and another step toward
; the Anglo-Saxon leadership of the
world. To achieve such bene-
fetal results Is not only the
avowed but the actual purpose of
our government. In spite of
yellow journalism and the like,
Sit is very evident that final de-
5 cision for war was the result of
sSenator Proctor's awful indict-
3ment of the barbarities of Spain.
Peaceful methods of settlement

as to rights but not as to duty,
}and our intervention is duty.
5 War is not the greatest evil.
$Tyranny, anarchy, corruption
}and starvation are worse. The

for liberty and right. Let flowers

troupe that gave an exhibition in

was much after the old pun, yet.
it was not without many new and

a bright child of only four years
was really the best dramatist in
the troupe. Her power tor
memorizing long dialogues and
pleasant impersonation of Harriet

marvellous for one so young.

ciated.

BRECKENRIDGE THINKS
He HAS BEEN ILL USED
Says He Was Mustered Out Because
of His Charges of Mismanage-
ment at Santiago.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The Herald s
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
Major General Jos nh c. Breckenridge has
returned to his office, after having been
ordered mustered out as corps commander
at Chickamauga. Under this order Cen
eral Breckenridge expected to be granted
leave of absence until November 30 In
the meantime he was directed to report
to Washington. 1 am informed that one
of the first things General Breckenridge
did after arriving here was to call on the
President, who did not receive him. 1t
is confidently stated that there is an un-
pleasant friction between the Office of in
spector general and that of the Secretary
of War. It is urged with much feeling
by the friends Of General Breckenridge
that the oraer mastering him out of the
service was an afterthought and in some
degree a sort of punishment for his re-
; port from Santiago setting forth in Wig
orOus fashion the causes of the misman-
agement there. While at Santiago it ap-
pears he incurred the i'll will of General
Shafter because he sent a dispatch ask
ing for more troops | am Informed that
on this account the commanding general
refused TO speak to him for several DAYS
Although the utteranceS of General
Breckenridge have been entirely official in
their character tLey seem to have been
unsatisfactory to the administration.
General Breckenridge does not seem to
understand his present status. He is
simply waiting for orders with seemingly
nothing before him to engage his atten-
ton. He did say. however that from
certain causes there had been no cohe-
inspector general and that connection be-
tween the inspector general and his sub
ordinates during the progress of the war
had been severed by unseen hands

NEW YORK. Oct. 29-Charged with a

attempt-robbing a United States post
office-Katie Boose, IL years old, is a
prisoner at the police station in West

ing for the bold craftsman John Smith,

Through small window opening from a
storm lobby at the rear the thief had
gained entrance took the money from
the drawer, which was forced, and tore
open letters. When Katie Boose was ar
rested she made a clean breast of her
wickedness.
II didn't think I was doing very
wrong she said, as tears flowed down
her cheeks and she sobbed Historically.
II only wanted money, because you can
buy so much with it."

PROFESSOR NoRToN's TALK

Special Dispatch to The Call

CAMBRIDGE, Mass Oct. 29.-Pro-
lessor Charles Eliot Norton, in an ad-
dress before the Graduates Club of
Harvard College, expressed sentiments
which are likely to arouse as much dis
cussion among Harvard men and 9TH
ers as has followed many Of Professor
Norton's recent utterances.
The speakers subject was 1.-THE New
American" In the course of his re-
marks he reviewed the conditions which
made this republic in many ways an
experiment In the history Of democra-
cies. Continuing, he said:
mo one would have thought the
American Nation so devoid of sense as
to go to war in the beginning of the
hot season in a tropical country, and
without any adequate preparation to
carry that war to a successful issue.
This war was revolution. The old
America came to an end with the dec
laration of war. The new America
threw over many of the old ideals which
have been maintained by this old Amer
lea and substituted for them those OF
the other nations of the world. We
must make up our minds as to the new

AMERICAN LOSSES
DURING THE WAR
Disease More Deadly
Than Bullets.
OFFICIAL FIGURES GIVEN
A TOTAL DEATH ROLL OF LESS
THAN 5000.
Statement Of Commissioner Of Pen
sions Evans of the Fatalities
Among Soldiers and
Sailors.
A TOTAL DEATH ROLL OF LESS
THAN 5000.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

| CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-Commissioner or
Pensions H Clay Evans, who is in this
| city. states that up to September 30
| the war with Spain had caused the
| loss of 1906 American soldiers and sail
ors. He further declares that the sta
tistics of his Office show that the per-
centage Of deaths in camps from dis
/ ease during last summer was much
less than it was during the Civil war.
Commissioner Evans being asked for
further particulars, spoke as follows:
During the Rebellion 10000 men were
killed in battle and 100000 persisted In
camps and prisons. From official ng-
ures which have recently been COM
pleted, covering a period from May l
to September 3d. 1 find that the total
| number of deaths as result OF the
war with Spain was 1906. OF this num-
Der 1O7 were officers. At Santiago the
loss of life was twenty-five officers ana
222 men. This is an average Of one
officer for every ten men. At Cardenas
one officer was killed. Since the bat
ties on Cuban soil sixty-one men have
died of wounds received in service
1.-THE total number of American SOL
diers that have died in camps from dis
ease are eighty officers and 252o priv
ates or an aggregate of 1900. This is
remarkable, in view Of the terrible ell
matte disadvantages. but 1t fully veri-
fies the soldiers adage that disease
kills more men than bullets. There
have been 600 claims for pensions hled
to date as a result of the war.
I'm the Cuban campaign the loss OF
so many officers is accounted for by the
fact that Spanish sharpshooters hid in
the trees and dense foliage used
smokeless powder and picked off the
officers with ease. Some of the wounds
received by officers were remarkable. 1
recall one case in particular-that OF
Captain Knox of the First Cavalry.
The captain was shot in the back. The
ball penetrated his kidney, liver and
lung and broke two of his ribs, but he
is alive to-day, and the President has
promoted him.
Commissioner Evans says the loss of
life resulting from the destruction OF
the Maine in Havana harbor Will be
placed on the same basis as mortality
in battle. He holds that the general
law providing for indemnity to sailors
and soldiers in the Federal service win
apply to the explosion at Havana.
THUS far only fftyfive claims have
been presented from relatives of the
boys who went down with the Maine"
said the Commissioner. Every one
of them will be pushed through. It Is
no more than right that the dependents
of the men who went to watery graves
in Havana Bay should be provided for
by the United States Government"

INVEIGHS AGAINST THE
POLICY OF EXTENSION
Governor Chandler Of Georgia OPP
poses the Acquiring of
New Territory.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct ALLAN D..
Chandler was inaugurated Governor of
Georgia at noon to-day. In his address
he said:
Not content with the extent of our
magnificent national domain, we are
reaching out thousands of miles for the
islands of the sea. with their heterogen-
Gus population, and there are those in
both political parties who would reverse
the policy of the country and enter upon
an expansion scheme of colonization as
have the countries of Europe, which will
necessitate an immense standing army
and large and costly navv. 1t will not
do for us to wander too far into the
realms of experiment. Our safety is In
conservatism and a rigid adherence to
the presidents of the past. This is espe-
cially true of the people of the South. We
should resist all dangerous innovations.
We should cling to the constitutional
right of local self-government. the sure
anchor of our safety, and oppose in every
legitimate way the increasing tendency
of the. Federal Government to encroach
upon the rights Of States.
