Honor TO the Dead Heroes.

The memorial services at the opera
house last Sunday were attended by 4
large number of people. The room was
appropriately decorated with flags and
portraits of heroes Of the civil war.
The memorial address was delivered by
Rev. White, of the Christian church.
At night appropriate services were held
at some of the churches
On Monday, the Decoration Day pro-
gram was carried out ms published.
Though rain threatened to fall in the
morning, the clouds passed away before
noon, and large procession filed out to
the cemetery, and the graves of our dead
soldiers were strewn with flowers,
In the afternoon a large crowd of peo-
pie gathered in the park and listened to
the address by Judge Benson, of Ottawa.
Were it possible, we would be glad to
publish his address, but that we cannot
do We will say, however, that 1t was
one of the finest memorial addresses we
ever heard. As rule, on these occasions,
the speakers are prone TO inject partisan
ism into their speeches, but this cannot
be said of Judge Benson His was a
truly patriotic address. He said among
many good things, that there are some
things worse than war, and among
these things he mentioned and denounced
the tendency of the times to place the
dollar mark above manhood patriotism
and true worth. He certainly gave evil
dence that he was opposed to the issu-
ing of any more bonds. His utterances
were frequently and heartily chcercd.
The music discoursed was appropriate
and excellcnt-.just such music as Garnett
people know how to make.
Thus once more have we paid tribute
to the memory of thase who gave up
their lives that the nation might live,
May we never forget our dead defenders.

Schley Ready to Follow the Colon
That Far If Necessary.

PORTSMOUTH. N. H., July 16.-Pri-
vate Mcneil, who was on the u. S. s.
Brooklyn, was on one of the forward
six Founders in the fight with Cervera' 8
ships, and was standing only few feet
away when a shot from the Cristobal
Colon blew off the head Of Chief Yeo-
man Ellis. Mcneil says in a letter
received here that when the fleet was
discovered coming out OF the harhor
the crew was standing with open ranks
for inspection.
Before the Brooklyn had fired a shot
the Spanish cruiser sent shells all about
the American vessel, and from that
time until the Cristobal Colon was
driven ashore the Brooklyn and her
crew were very busy.
Commodore Schley was on the bridge
during all the fighting, and an orderly
heard him say Il want that ship. 1 have
800 tons of coal and plenty Of wood

Soon after the Colon pulled down it's
flag the New York hove in sight, and
as the Vixen reported to Admiral Samp-
in the distance the signal came for
the Brooklyn to investigate, and Com
modOre Schley was obliged to leave his
prize and hurry away.
The stranger proved to be an Aus
trian cruiser, and it was after midnight
when the Brooklyn, reported at San
tiago with one of her compartments

shell had pierced her side near the

"THE DIVISION" DISORDERLY.
Washington Residents Reminded of
the Days OF the Civil War.


WASHINGTON, July 16.-vists of
soldiers from Camp Alger to Washing
ton are accompanied by renewal OF
the scenes which, during the late Civil
war, gave such an unpleasant notoriety
to that part of the city designated as
the division. In fact, the lawlessness
rampant there is said by old settlers
to surpass in every respect that which
marked the era from 1851 to 1865, and
several conflicts between the soldiers
and policemen have occurred, leading
to the suggestion that if the soldiers
cannot be kept within bounds, martial
law be declared. Within the past few
days several rather serious affrays
have occurred, in one of which two
soldiers were shot and are now in a
hospital.
Every day the police courts are en-
gagged with the cases of soldiers whose
disorderly conduct was so marked that

capades with a lenient eye usually,
could not overlook 1t. volunteer in
