 New York, May 3O.-With holiday mak- ing, parades, the flying of flags, sports of all kinds, the usual decorating of graves and speech-making Memorial Day was well celebrated in New York and vicinity.
 The sun shone brightly and light breeze kept the heat from becoming oppressive.
 Early in the day thousands of excur- sionists were thronging at the exits of Manhattan Island, pouring over into ferry boats to Lond Island and Jersey City, some bound for the seashores and some for the cemeteries where now, in addition to the dead of the civil war, there lay In a few instances the dead of the war with Spain The graves of these received the same tender care that for years has mark ed those of the older dead.
 But through the exodus both from Man haitian and Brooklyn was Of more than usual proportions there remained an urpan contingent that did full justice to the parade that filed through the city streets.
 There were several processions in honor of the day. but the more important were the military parade in New Hork city proper. reviewed by Major-General Miles, and the military parade in Brooklyn re- viewed by Governor Roosevelt
 The New York parade, consisting Of every national guard regiment in the city, three companies of regular engineers, eight batteries of regular artillery and sixty-tWo Grand Army of the Republic posts, started at o'clock and marched in excellent for nation from F1fty-seventh street down Fifth avenue to Washington arch, where 1t was disbanded.
 The national guardsmen were under command of Major Roe, the sailors under Captain Sigsbee, United States navy, and the grand marshal was John B. Hyde.
 A reviewing stand had been erected i'll Madison square and from this Major-Gen- eral Miles watched the troops swing by.
 As the Seventh regiment of the national guard, which did not go to the war, pass ed the reviewing stand of the Manhattan parade several persons began to hiss. The hissing grew in volume until it almost drowned the cheers with which the friends of the regiment tried to hide this unfriend ly demonstration
 The Brooklyn parade started at 70 o'clock. It included marines, several bat teres of artillery, the naval militia, the

was that the war with Spain hed cemented the north and south ln a bond of fraternal sympathy never again to be broken.
 Impressive ceremonies were conducted at the National cemetery at Germantown, a suburb of this city, where the bod es of 224 Confederate soldiers are buried. For the first time the graves of the men who wore the gray were decorated with flags and floral emblems by the soldiers of the north. The men of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie found and marked with national eolors the graves of other southern soldiers in Mount Moriah cemetery.

Grand Army of the Republic posts and oth- CT organizations. Governor Roosevelt re- viewed the procession from a stand erect ed near the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch in Park Place. As in Manhattan, the streets were full of sightseers, and cheers Tor the veterans were coupled with cheers for the younger soldiers, who had won their veteranshp under the heat of Gu ban sun.
 The two parades constituted the best mill itary features that have marked Decora- tion Day in this city for many years.
 In Jersey City the chief event was the dedication of a new soldiers and sailors monument in front of the city hall. The oration of the day was made by Former Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdee, and school children sang patriotic songs.
 The most serious exercises in Manhattan were held in the afternoon in Riverside Park under the shadow of Grants tomb. There the Grand Army of the Republic ritual was performed and speeches were made by Governor Roosevelt and others.
 At New Brunswick a new monument erected in honor of those who went down in the battleship Maine was unveiled after a parade of the Grand Army of the Re public and civic societies.
 At Orange, N. J.. there was also unveil- ing of soldiers and sailors monument. One of the most remarkable features of the day was the extraordinary reception afforded the Seventy-first regiment in the New York City military parade. Several officers of this organization have been sub jected to inquiry regarding their conduct in Cuba, but were greeted today with en- thusiasm that has seldom been seen in New York. Along Fifth avenue the crowd yelled and cheered when the Seventy-first passed as they did for no other regiment. Women tore off sashes, ribbons and even capes and waved them in the air.

THE BERLIN VIEW.
The Government Skeptical as to Admi
 ral Kautz's Instructions.

Berlin. March 30.-The German govern ment was taken wholly by surprise with the news from Samoa. The imperial chan cellor, Prince Hahenlohe, is spending his birthday, which occurs tomorrow at Baden Baden, and the minister of foreign affairs, Baron von Buelow. is enjoying fort nights vacation in Holstein.
 But a well informed individual says the government here is skeptical as to Admiral Kautz's instructions. He adds that the in- structions for bombardment were based on the British and American claims that Mataafa was contravening the Samoan act But, the correspondents informant points out the contravention was not specified and the government presumes that if the act was really infringed Herr Rose, the German consul, would also have protested, as his government has instructed him to strictly conform to the act. The assertion that Herr Rose protested against the de- position of the provisional government is doubted here as it is claimed Herr Rose was instructed not to identify himself with Mataafa more closely than the represen- tatives of other powers. There is consider able curiosity in this city as to the effect the outbreak will have upon the attitude of the United States and Great Britain. The view remains that the final settlement will be in no way changed by the outbreak of hostilities, but must be arranged by the joint action of the three cabinets.
 The semi-official Post comments calmly upon the new situation and says that Ger many will remain neutral
 The National Zeitung today, commenting upon the Samoan situation, says:
 'While it appears that the American and British representatives thought the Ma taafans were contravening the treaty, the meeting held on the Philadelphia had no jurisdiction, because the unanimous ap-

 Replying to the allegations of the Daily Chronicle, of London, that the United States ambassador here, MT. Andrew D. White, has been pro-German in his hand ling of the Samoan question, the Cologne Gazette says, semi-officially:
 "For some time we have noticed that the efforts of the English press to create bad blood between the United States and Ger many have again taken fresh impulses from the latest developments at Samoa Not to mention other instances which show that mood of the English press, the Lon don Time, a fo wdays ago, circulated a false story to the effect that Germany was intending to withdraw from the Berlin treaty. Now the Daily Chronicle claims to know as a fact that the United States am- bassador, MT. White, has aroused more real dissatisfaction in the United States because of his handling the Samoan ques- tion principally from the German stand- point. Tt would be honoring the Daily Chronicle too much if we were to endeavor to protect the American ambassador against that absolutely unproven accusa- tion of a serious violation of his duties. For it is sufficient to say again how bit terly and with what talent 1n inventing false reports the English press is pursuing everything which is suspected of being apt to foster the good and friendly relations between the United States and Germany"

HE WAS TRYING TO ESCAPE

York, March 90.-(Special)-A negro by the name of Abe Curry suffered terrible death by fire at Pinckard, small tawn on the Alabama Midland railroad, sixteen miles east of this city.
 The negro was charged with some minor offence at Brockton, near the line of Coffee and Dale, and had left there to evade the officers. His wife lived at Midland Cty, not far from Pinekard and he first went there and tried to kill her.
 After leaving that point he came up the road towards Pinckard and applied to the section master for work. Having been notified, the section master arrested and lodged Curry in the calaboose.

When help arrived no key was at hand nor anything with which the door could be broken in, the flames gaming headway all the while.
 The town nas no water works and 1t was impossible to save the negros life His screams for mercy were both horrfying and piteous, but as the fire did it's deadly work they grew fainter and fainter until lie was exunct After the fire had dled down his charred remains were taken out and were buried
 heavy rain and wind storm passed over this section aS 9 o'clock yesterday, doing some damage. Ice and frost were plentiful thds morning, but the loss will not be heavy

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
 and Stomach Troubles.
RidIcule, However, Is Not Argument. and
 Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common, and in most cases so obstinate to cure that peo- pie are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, especially in medi- cines.
 This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far-so far. In fact. that many people suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of g. preparation reliable and universally used Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Now, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are, vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not secret pat ent medicine-no secret is made of their in- gredients-but analysis shows them to con- tain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act pow erfully on any organ, but they cure indi- gestion on the common-sense plan of di- gesting the food eaten thoroughly before 1t has time to ferment. sour and cause the mischief. This Is the only secret of their success.
 Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles, be- cause they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is all there is to it. Food not digested or half-digested is poison, as 1t creates gas, acidity head aches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite. and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
 They are sold by druggists everywhere at fifty cents per pachaSe. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,. Marshall, Mich. for little book on stomach diseases, sent free. 3-28-wky

COTTON MILL COMBINE.
Efforts Being Made to Unite the Yarn
 Manufactories.

Taunton, Mass, March 30.-A special to the Evening News from New Bedford says efforts are being made by representatives of an English syndicate to combine all of the cotton yarn mills in the United States It Is said that as a result of the financial troubles of the New Bedford mills during the past few years efforts were made to inc terest English capital with view to form ing a syndicate to control the entire cotton yarn industry. The capitalists who were approached declared that they were willing to take up the matter of control if all the mills could be secured, otherwise they would not care to undertake the formation of a syndicate.
 It is authoritatively stated that the treas- urers of some of the New Bedford and Fall River mills have been in consultation with the leading stockholders as to the ad- visibility of going into the proposed syn- dicate and on what basis. If the deal is consummated 1t Is estimated that a capital of over $100 900 will be necessary to form the combination.
