to leave the room, and began to turn
the leaves with fingers which seemed
too clumsy for use.

his finger on paragraph.

Hendricks drew a deep breath, and
handed the letter which had so dis
turbed him to his friend.
Read it," he said.
What the doctor saw was sheet Of
crisp blue linen paper, and on it the
following typewriter words:
'Minard Hendricks, Detective, New York

''Do | look disturbed?" asked Hen
bricks, absent-mindedly and turning to
a large lounge he threw himself on it.

He paused. 1t was plain to the doc

you, anyway?'
Hendricks laughed.

OBSERVE THE DAY.

Memorial Day occurs May 30th.
While this day is primarily for the dec
Grafton with flowers of the graves of
veterans of the late war; yet any exercise
which recognizes the patriotism of the
dead and assists in making better citizens
of the living, are appropriate. We are
glad to notice that in later years many
towns even where no veterans are buried
and perhaps but few if any live, still in
some appropriate manner or other hallow
the day. 1t is eminentiy proper that all
schools take notice of the day, its men,
ories and its lessons. We would sug-
gest that in all schools which have a
holiday on Monday, Both lit is a legal
holiday that the Friday afternoon pre-
ceeding be in part or wholly devoted to
patriotic exercises. The sum and sub
stance of the public school system is the
preparation Of good citizens, and patriot
ism is the first duty of good citizen.
State Superintendent Halland has pre-
pared very excellent and nicely gotten
up pamphlet full of hints and selections
which will prove of great assistance to
the teachers for Memorial services.

THE LION aRowLs.

London, May 1s.-The Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, made an important
speech on public affairs at Birmingham
this evening.
Mr.. Chamberlain, after deprecating the
constant assertions IN certain quarters
that Lord Salisbury was "discredited"
and the government weak and vacilla-
ting, said:
"If foreign countries believe and act
upon those statements, they will find
themselves much mistaken, and that
courteous diplomacy and graceful con-
cessions are not incompatible with firm
maintenance of the country's honor and
interests"
Then, declaring that he intended to
make a plain statement of facts, unfet-
tered by the mysteries and reticences Of
the diplomacy Of half century ago,
which. without revealing secret negotia-
tons, should be ,understood by the peo-
ple," Mr.. Chamberlain said he would
accept the judgmsn. Of the people ss

When anybody tells you that the court
house is not in good repair, tell that any
body he l-abors under an error. So
far as can be seen by the eye, the court
house is in just as good condition as the
day it was completed. AS to accommo-
dation, it has been sufficient for many
years, for as many officers and as much
business as we are likely to have for
many years to come. If we were to
build a new court house we should build
larger, better and more expensively, just
the same as the farmer with his new
farm house. But the old court house
ought to do us at least until we pay for
it. The farmer who owes for the old
house would think it foolish to set fire to
the old house and then borrow more
money to build a new one, especially if
the old house was good and sufficient
enough for his present needs. Yet that
is what Cavalier asks this county to do.

Considerable agitation is being exhibit
ed by some papers as to Admiral Dewey's
politics. Army and navy officers by tine
very sensible custom OF the service are
not politicians. However, the following
is the vote of Dewey's native state, Ver-
mont, in per cent. Republican 76H per
cent, democrat 21 per cent, others 2 u per
cent; the betting man can figure the odds
on Dewey's political opinions. Anyway
for the present, he holds office as mayor
of Cavite, after one of the hottest cleo
tons on record and that's pretty high
position in the eyes of the world, and
his grateful countrymen. We doubt if
any political party can make Admiral
Dewey greater man than he is to-day
in the estimation of the American people.
We came very near spelling Grant that
way, and we hope it won't be tried on
Dewey. Give Dewey all the honor and
titles that his profession will allow and
we are satisfied that no other honor can
be added that will make him greater
either in his own eyes or that OF the
world.
