| Manila, May 30-Memorial day was
| celebrated at Battery Knoll. where
Scott's guns were planted against the
Filipino trenches in the first days
fighting at Manila. Nearly 500 soldiers
lie buried ther on a bleak mound.
surrounded by rice fields, rough boards
marking the graves, which are ranged
in five unbroken rows. Beyond these
are Spanish blockhouses and bamboo
hedges, which were moWn by shells
from the American guns
The few soldiers who could be spared
from the trenches came to Battery
Knoll dusty and bronzed. bearing
flowers with which to strew their COM
rades' graves. A silk flag was placed
above each mound
The day was as mild as a New Eng
land spring day when just before sun
set few hundred Americans gathered
in a circle around Battery Knoll in blue
and brown uniforms. Among the SOL
diers were groups of American ladies'
and brown-faced natives peering Gu
riously at the unwonted spectacle from
points near by. The guns of the mon
itor Monadnock doomed a significant
reminder of the nearness of war.
Was a Solemn Scene.
Just as the Sixth artillery band be-
gan Il dirge the thunder of the Monad-
nock's guns ceased, while the taps
sounded from the bugle.
Charles DENLY of the United States
Philippine commission presided at the
exercises He spoke briefly of the pc
culiar solemnity of the day to Manila
The chaplain of the British cruiser
Powerful made an invocation. Chaplain
Pierce of the TWenty-third infantry
and Chaplain Cressey of the Minnesota
volunteers delivered orations and the
soldiers sang appropriate hymns. After
taps had been sounded, the soldiers took
the flags from the grounds TO send TO
relatives of the dead.
In Other Cemeteries.
Similar services were held over the
dead in the Paco cemetery this after
noon. Colonel DENLY was the orator of
this occasion. The graves were decor
ated with a vast quantity of maSniti-
cent flowers.
High mass for the dead of the Roman
Catholic communion was celebrated at
the Paco cemetery in the morning. Ora
tions were delivered by Fathers Nc
Kinnon and Chaplain Stevenson of the
Idaho regiment. A methodist and Pc
ter Mcqueen. a Congregational clergy
man of Boston.
Most of the business places of Manila
were closed in observance of the day.
The American and many foreign flags
We're displayed at half-mast. The
graves of soldiers and sailors buried
at Cavite and Iloilo We're also decorated
today.

Fled From Police.

ARREST him." cried the shopkeeper,
"he says he knows where Marion Clark
is hidden"
The policeman ran after the stran-
ger. After a. chase of three blocks he
caught him.
Here, let go of me-" said the man
Indignantly, what are you bothering
me about anyway"
Byrnes took him to the police sta
tion and Salzer followed. There Salzer
repeated his charge.
When ] spoke of the Clark case
said he. this man told me he knew
all about it, He said he knew where
the baby was; who had taken her, and
why it was DONE
That's a lie," said the man. II never
mentioned the Clark case TO him. 1
went into his shop to get a match, and
took a small piece of candy. 1 prob
ably didn't pay him soon enough so
he's done this to get even with me-
a Utah Miner.
The police cross-queStioned him. He
said he was Robert Nugent. a miner.
of Heber, Utah. and that recently he
had come east He has been living at
the Occidental hotel in the Bowery. He
said he had gone to Brooklyn in search
of place as canvasser. In his pockets
was found a card bearing the name
William L. Jackson, rag time pianist"
Nugent was taken TO police head
quarters and again questioned. Then
he was arraigned in a police court and
held as a vagrant in order to give the
police an opportunity to investigate.
THAT man Salzer is crazy" said he
to reporter. Il never mentioned the
Clark case to him. 1t is an outrage TO
hold man on a charge like this. I'll
make him suffer for it,

STABLE MANURE ON LAWNS.

A filthy custom prevails In Portland
of spreading stable manure on esplanades

from abroad frequently criticise this OBJ

one peculiar to Portland. The worst Of
1t Is. however, that 1t IL dangerous to the
health of the community, and is believed
to be largely responsible for the present
prevailing bronchial affections. Manure

er than twenty-cight of these noble or
royal personages, representing the EN-
perOr's ancestors, contemporaries or
others. That of King Arthur and two
others are attributed to the famous
Peter Vischer, of Nuremberg, and in
Arthur we see the most noble and ma
jestic figure of the series. The faces
and forms of these august personages
are said TO be exact representations,
and one could not fail to be impressed
with this idea from the strongly mark
ed and peculiar east of features, the
expression and the attitude, which give
striking individuality to so many
among them.
King Arthur Is given place Of spe-

of the fourteen statues to the left, as

himself, in bronze, kneeling on large

sarcophagus there are twenty-four re-

events of the Emperor's life are record

1t is related that when the youthful

be bribed to learn French by the pres

The first few months at school are
certainly not the least unhappy of a
great life. Papa Charles leaves his
sons at Autun-the preparatory school
for Brienne-two little waits in hos

French-enemies and conquerors- and
these two, Corsicans and vanQushed.

"Nabulione de Bonaparte," he replies
in his Ajaccian.
And there is roar of laughter. They
laugh at everything from the first-a

that surges into the childish heart. Lit

Of the day, could be found Mark
Twain's pets. They were allowed there
because they had the good manners to
keep quiet while he worked. If they
had presumed to jump upon the desk
and put their little feet upon the manu-
script or tip over the ink, they would
not have been allowed to remain.
The cozy little Pilot House was very
popular with these cats. It may have
been because 1t was such a nice, sunny
place, having windows upon all of its
sides. Being upon the very tip-top
of the great hill, it received the warmth
Of the first and last rays of the sun, Of
which these pets We're quite as fond
as was the humorist himself. Mark
Twain knew that although cats are
said to have nine lives, the time must
come when even his pets and he would
have to part, so one day he summoned

Il don't know as there is anything Of

communicate about those cats. They
had no history. They did not dis

died early-on account Of being over

thought-Sour Mash, Apollinaris, Zorro
