Oak Grove Cemetery Association.

At the adjourned meeting of the Oak
Grove Cemetery Association held
Tuesday evening, steps We're taken
that will result in the cemetery's pre-
senting a heater appearance. For
some time it has been the custom OF
those having lots to leave the refuse
after the lots have been fixed up III
addition those putting up new stones
have had them erected without founda-
tons. The result has been that the
stones have toDpled over on account OF
the action of the frost.
At a meeting held a short time age
an addition to the bylaws was offered
bv which this would be prevented. or
account of the constitution this add
ton could not be made at that meet
ing and it was necessary to bring the
matter M at an adjourned meeting
The adjourned meeting was held, Tues
day evening, when this addition was
made to tie bylaws:
mo stone of the value of $13 or over
shall be set in the cemetery unless il
has a stone foundation to be built sat
isfactory to the superintendent
NO person shall be allowed to Leave
any rubbish or matter OF any klnt
that will appear unsightly on their lots
to the annoyance of adjoining lo
owners If not removed it shall be
taken away by the superintendent a
their expense"

As Patriotic as Any.

Some one is trying to intIlme the people
unwarrantaby. in our opinion All the
representatives Of papers from this city
have been approached on the subject Of
the Lockwood Mil running the plant, last
Monlay. The evening paper and the
Journal have both received unsigned com
munications relating to the fact that the
Lockwood Mills ala not shut down on
Monday. Said communications, rs any
intelligent man must know. went 10 the
waste basket.
As the Journal was Informed. last Mon
day why the min was not shut down
completely. it may be well for the jour
nal to say at this time. in order that any
little misunderstanding may be explained,
that the cotton mill is not a plant that
can be shut down entirely in a day
The material goes through several pro-
cesses before the cloth comes out of the
mill. II requires several days 10 start up
a new cotton mill and it requires several
lays to stop a cotton mill unless it burns
down. in order that the material may not
be spoiled by laying over in treatment.
1t is a fact that 4 lot of material was in
process of manufacture in the different
departments of the mill. making it neces-
Sary in order that the stock should not
be spoiled and that the company should
not be loser, for some of the help to re-
main in the mill to look after it,
The help of the mill were given the
privilege of attending the demonstration
and large number of them did 50. There
were some who felt that they could not
afford TO stop work even for half day,
and they fin ling that the wheels would
turn. went in to continue the routine
work of their lives.
This is the fact, as the Journal knows.
and it was not for lack of patriotism that
the mill was not wholly closed. Those
who wanted to go went and those who
desired to work, worked.

wanted to enlist to go to war ami that
they had been told they could get what
information they desired by calling at

given directions how to find the recruit

USES OF ROYAL KiNSHiP.
Some instances in Recent International a.
fairs in the Old World.

Til" candidature II Prince George Of
Greece for the eovcrnorship Of Crete is
a striking illustration Of the personal
relations Of the reignins houses in
Europe
Ee wrote 4 letter to his cousin. The
emperor Of Russia. asking him to sup
port His claims The emperor AT once
adopted him as the Russian candidate.
They are not only cousins, each being
a grandson uf King Christian TX. Of
Denmark. but ara also intimate friends
Of nearly the same age. They We're
companions IN a Journey around the
world. ard Prince George, by his cool
ness ard courage, saved his cousin =
life from an assassin'S attack in Japan.
4 personal appeal for support could
not he dsreearded.
The governorship of Crete has re-
manned an unsettled question since the
war between Turkey and Greece. The
European powers, while pledged 70 pro-
tect the island and to reform its gov
eminent. had been unable to agree
upon a candidate for governor. one
name after another had been proposed
Only u ne ItJttttt Ilt Willy sultan
objected on general principles to every
candidate.
When Nicholas II. ordered his minis
tiers 10 propose Prince Georges name
the significance Of the nomination as
the personal choice of the sovereign
was perceived throughout Europe
France. as Russia 5 closest ally. at
once supported the canddature. Lord
Salisbury seconded it gladly. especially
as the prince was the nephew of the
princess of Wales. Italy acquiesced.
The attitude of the kaiser is not vet
fully known.
Greece had plunged into war in order
to liberate and annex Crete, and had
been disastrously defeated. The ap-
pointment of Il son of the king If
Greece as governor of Crete would be a
considerable victory for the PROSTATE
little kingdom. The sultan refused to
consent to it and appealed to the Ger
man emperor.
Russia at once applied pressure by
demanding the payment of arrears Of
interest on the unpaid war indemnity
contracted by Turkey in the campaigns
Of 1S11-S Whenever the sultan is OBJ
stinate he is forcibly reminded that
Turkey owes Russia a great deal of
money.
This candidature. which will at once
do much to retrieve the fortunes Of
Greece. and will offer Il practical solu-
ton of a troublesome question of Euro
pean diplomacy. is the outcome of the
intimate relations of the two cousins,
who We're together in the far east
In the same way the German en-
pcror. in entering upon a diplomatic
and naval campaign in China, commits
stoned his brother to visit Queen Vic
tOria at Osborne. Prince Henry is Il
favorite among the queens grandSOns
and in consequence of his visit more
friendly relations between England and
Germany have been established.
Whatever may be the rival policies
of Russia and England in China, the
family relations of the two courts tend
to promote compromise and peace.
Nicholas II. has married a grand
daughter of the queen, and is strongly
influenced by his mother. who is a
sister of the princess of Wales.---
