THE PRESIDENTS WESTERN TRIP.
1t Is Now Reasonably Certain That He
VIII Visit Montana.

The uncertainty as to the president S
coming to Montana has at last been dis
PEELED and positive assurances have been
received from Washington that unless
circumstances prevent 1t, the proposed
visit by President Mckinley and party
to the Yellowstone National Park and
points of interest in Montana will be
made as contemplated. The president
will first 90 to Minneapolis to review
and welcome the returned volunteers
from the mountain states who will be
mustered out about August 1st at San
Francisco, from which point they will
receive travel pay to their respective
homes. The cities of ST. Paul and Min
neapolis will invite the volunteers as
their guests and grand celebration
will take place at Minneapolis. After
visiting Montana the president will visit
Salt Lake City and Denver.

People Of PhiIpsburg Generally Take Part il
Grave Decorating.
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
As Usual. This Organization Takes the Lead
and Participates in the Impressive
Ceremonies at the Cemetery.
WOman's Relief Corps
Surprise the Vets.

Memorial Day was fittingly observed
in Philipsburg and many of our resi-
dents visited the silent city of the dead
during the day. The graves of the de-
parted were decorated with flowers and
evergreens and a new flag was placed
at the head of the grave Of every soldier
Appropriate services were held by
Burnside Post No. %, G.. A. R., in
which the Woman's Relief Corps par.
ticipated. The members of the Grand
Army assembled at their hall and about
2 o'clock marched to the cemetery to
decorate the graves of their comrades
who have departed to that great beyond
where war-clouds are unknown and
everlasting peace prevails. Tho gone,
the heroes are not forgotten, and the
flag under which they fought in the
field of battle still floats over them at
the head of their graves. Every year,
on Memorial Day, the members of the
Grand Army throughout the country
assemble at their respective posts and
march to the cemeteries, where their
comrades are laid at rest for the pur-
pose of decorating their graves
and to replace the little flag,
which denotes the resting place of a
war veteran, with new one. Year by
year the number of veterans who march
to the cemeteries grows noticeably less
and the number of graves to be decor
ated increases.
This year several younger soldiers
who had served their country during
the war with Spain participated in the
G. A. R. Memorial services in Philips
burg. They are Fred Burks, who served
in the regular army and was wounded
in the battle of Santiago de Cuba, and
w. E. Calhoun, Henry Philbrick and
O. j. Quivey, who are among the volun-
teers and who have been mustered out
and returned. The little band of old
soldiers who marched to the cemetery
consisted of J. K Pardee, A. D. Gillis,
w. T. Allison, J. A. Matthews, L. G.
Degenhart, Samuel Sprague. Elijah
Powell, A. H. Rawes, James Lee, J. S.
Axtell, A. L. Castle and John Gaiser
and the four soldiers who served during
the eAmerican-Spanish war, to whom an
invitation to join the ranks of the G. A.
R. had been extended.
The ceremonies at the cemetery were
impressive and concluded with singing
America, in which all joined.
After visiting and decorating the
grave OF every departed soldier the mem
bers Of the G.. A. R. returned to their
hall. where pleasant surprise had been
arranged for them by the ladies of the
Relief Corps IN the way of refreshments,
and which did not consist entirely of
hardtack and beans. 1t was complete
surprise and the veterans surrendered
to the Relief Corps without much re-
sistance. A splendid lunch had been
prepared by the ladies, and that il was
appreciated and highly enjoyed goes
without saying.

a sermon delivered by Rev. Fl. g. Hun

to criticise the national administration
for its Philippine policy and its course
during the Spanish war. Chas. Tomma.

American Commercial Expansion.

Mr.. John A Kasson, United States
plenipotentiary for the negotiation for
commercial treaties between the United
States and foreign powers, when asked
his opinion what advantages the Philip
pines would be to American commerce
in the far east, said I'm my position
rs plenipotentiary | am brought con-
stantly in contact with the evidences of
American commercial expansion. As
to the effect on American commerce in
the Orient of holding OF relinquisbing
the Philippines, ! can only say that the
matter is plain to any man who has at
hand the information as to the advan-
tages of holding depot, an entrepot
to the great ORIENT. With the Philip
pines we would have base of opera
tions, a magnificent haroor and all the
advantages incident to holding power
full situation in the East. The Ameri-
can firms of Russell q Co and Forbes
& Co. formerly gave America great
power in the Orient. They We're Amer
ican houses, but have withdrawn from
that part of the world. America must
re-establish itself, its shipping and its
commerce in the East, and certainly
any man can perceive the advantages
Of holding base in that part of the
world.

Then groomed her carefully, took her

AS soon as she had taken it she used

gave her between twenty and twenty
four quarts of oats and between fifteen

An English Girls Long Swim.

Miss Mary Livingstone, Scotland's
champion lady swimmer, recently at
tempted to swim from GreenOck to
Rothesay, distance of fifteen miles.
A Glasgow correspondent of the Lon
don Leader says she took the water at
1:40 o'clock, the temperature being in
the region of AZ degrees. She showed
splendid form and no signs of fatigue.
After leaving Gourock some refresh
ment was administered and her hands
were rubbed. She passed Clock light
house at 1880, the distance up to this
point being six miles, and the time oc-
cupied two hours and ten minutes, the
tide and river aiding her greatly. Miss
Livingstone began to show signs of ex-
haustion shortly after passing the
lighthouse, and as the sea had turned a
trifle rough it was evident she would
not succeed in her object. When op-
posite Wemyss Castle, about eight
miles from Grenock, the doctors de-
cided to take her on board, the swim
to this point taking three hours and
forty minutes. She pleaded to be al

HOLY CARPET STOLEN.
(SDecial Letter.)

The "holy carpet" or kiswa, which
has been stolen by BedOuin Arabs en-
route for Mecca, consists of a series of
oblong strips of black brocade richly
embroidered in gold and silver with
Arabic inscriptions from the koran. 1t
serves the purpose of beautifying the
exterior of the ka aba, the sacred
shrine within the precincts of the
mosque at Mecca. 1t is renewed and
sent every year at the expense of the
sultan from ConstantinOple via Cairo,
where, with it's escort of Bashi Egyp-
tian caravan, the most important Of
the many which annually converge
toward Mecca. Having done duty for
year, it is cut up and the pieces sold
as relics to wealthy pilgrims. The il
lustration represents a portion of the
carpet being carried on mems shoul-
ders through the streets of Cairo, dur
ing the festival preceding it's departure.
The intrinsic value of the holy carpet
is some $4,000, and its capture by
tribe of marauding Bedouins, between
