Solemn Day at Manila.
Manila, May 3l.-7:30 p. m.-Memorial
Day was celebrated at Battery Knoll,
where SCOTS guns were planted against
the Filipino trenches in the first days OF
the fighting at Manila. Nearly 300 SOL
.diers lie buried there on the bleak mounds
surrounded by rice fields, rough boards
marking the graves. The few soldiers
who could be spared from the trnches
came to Battery knoll, dirty and bronzed,
bearing the flowers with which to strew
their comrades graves. A silk flag was
placed above each mound.
Just before sunset a few hundred Amer
icans gathered in circle around Battery
Knoll in blue and brown uniforms. The
gums of the monitor Monadnock doomed
a significant reminder of the nearness OF
war Just as the Sixth Artillery band
began the dirge the thunder of the Mo
nadnock's guns ceased, while taps were
sounded from the bugle.

Memorial Day Orders.

Department Commander Jones of the Grand Army in this state, has issued or. ders concerning the observance of Me- morisl Day, and has made details from the posts of the state to insure the ob servsnce of the day in towns where there are no Grand Army organizations. In the order concerning the day the de- partment commander says:
 Comrades: Remember May 30, when the Memorial Day cometh wherein we specially remember our dead and note their recruits from our ranks in the twelve-month gone.
 "We are part of one vast army of the living and the dead, the rear oD earth and the van in the white light of the Imm ortals. Year by year the sound of our marching here grows feebler, through age, through decay, and through the vanishing of our comrades into tho shadows. And year by year the head of the column grows in shining Q number as these vanished comrades emerge from the shadows clad in the eternal youth of the summerland of God. .E
 '.As ever, drop the flowers in whatever rich profusion you may, where we bsde adieu to the mortal part of these, eur vanished comrades, firm in the assur- ance that the fragrance and beauty of the flowers will blend with our love and rise with the grateful recognition of that part of our army which is larger today in Heaven than on earth.
 Mot for long, this our privilege. Rest and peace are on the guidons dropping from the walls. whose gleaming is rising on our sight.

Adulterated Foods.

The Connecticut Experiment Station is dolng great work in the investigation of adulterated foods. All sorts of harm less and harmful stuff are found in the foods and condiments put up in pack ages for sale. There are peanut shells in coffee, red ink in ''sauces," while sausage contains salicylic acid to pre- serve it and starch to make 1t weigh There is sawdust in ginger, coal tar in jelly. copper in canned goods, and boric acid in piesl The Connecticut plan is to advertise the frauds, and drive them out of the market. The names of the people who manufacture and sell this stuff are printed regularly in the Sta tiop's reports. This is the way the fer tilizer frauds were whipped out of Con- necticut, and it is good way. When a man is caught putting poison or pea nut shells into honest food-brand him l Put 8 ring of shame around his namel- The Rural New-Yorker.
 Seventy samples of iellies and fifty. one samples of preserves, jams, etc. were examined. Forty-three of the iellies and forty five of the jams and preserves were found to be adultersted. Most of the pure iellies were made in the house. hold and all of the adulterated ones were factory products. The adulter- ants were starch paste, glucose, magen' ts and other coal tar dyes, cochineal and salicylic a.id Some of the iellies con- tained five adulterants. Five samples of "Pure Fruit" iellies, labeled W. P. x O., Aver, Mass, supposed to be pre- pared from fruits of orange, raspberry, strawberry, currsnt and grape, are char acterised as '.interesting frauds" These were found to consist of starch paste, sweetened with glucose, artifcially favored. and colored in all cases but one with coal tar dyes and preserved with salicylic acid. Fourteen out of nineteen samples of sausage contained borsx or salioylic acid. Twenty-four samples of ginger out of ninety one were adulterated, and the one sample of "Chili sauce" examined contained '.Eosin" and salicylic acid. Eosin is a coal tar product much used in red inks

 OUR OLD CAMP FIRE.
A SONG.

 Again, old Comrades, gather we Within the camp fires ruddy glow To leap the years, once more to be The boys in blue oflong ago. Tho back may bend, the locks be white, And furrows deep the old face line. Tho eye be dimm'd with steadfast light Yet glows the soul of days Lang Syne. Fill now the pipe; and on the screen Of fragrant smoke cloud floating by, Will Hash in turn each vivid scene From magic lamp of memory. With quicken'd tongue and kindled eye We light the ancient battle OCT, Till heart leaps up, the pulses fly, And old blood tingles as of yore. Our line, old Comrades, will grow thin As one by one the terms expire, But not till rings the last "fall in" Must flicker out our Old Camp Fire.

Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1899-05-15

The attempt of this court to get by
the essential charges made by Gen.
Miles is decidedly uncomplimentary
to the average intelligence of those
who have followed the newspapers
from the beginning. The evidence OF
the vileness of some of the beef is too
overwhelming to be shaken. But even
were the findings true, the worst en-
envy of Gen. Miles ought not to style
the proceedings as other than dis
creditable, for assuming that to be
the case the court fails to punish his
acts with anything but nominal CEN
sure. If the court is right in its find
ings it is negligent in it's infection of
punishment If it is wrong in it's find
ings, it is disgraceful, in some res
poets dishonest, and at all events
wholly illogical and unconvincing.

JOSEPH JEFFERSON.

Joseph Jefferson was playing one
night engagement in a small town,
appearing in the part of Rip Van
Wrinkle, which he had so often and
ably impersonated. At the hotel
where he stayed there was an Irish
man who acted as general assistant.
At about a quarter to six in the morn
ing Mr.. Jefferson was startled, not to
say alarmed, by violent humping
on his door, when he recollected that
he had left no orders to be called so
early, he was naturally indignant.
His sleep was banished for that morn
ing, however, so he arose and soon
made his appearance before the clerk.
Look here, L say, he demanded of
that functionary, why was I called at
this unearthly hour?
I don't know, sir, replied the clerk,
but I'll ask Pat. Pat was summoned.
Said the clerk: Pat, there was no
call for this gentleman. Why did
you wake him?
Pat led the clerk aside and said in
a mysterious whisper: He wor snOr-
in loike a horse, sor, an Old heerd
the bohys sayin how he wor wanst
afther shlapin for twinty years, so Oh
saws to mesilf, It's a-coming unto Jim
