WASHINGTON, May >i.-The with
,,rawal OF the Thirteenth Minnesota
regiment from the firing lac sold order
ing it to Manila is taken 10 mean the
end of active service Of that regiment in
the Philippines. AT the war depart
ment there We're none who would dis
cuss the matter. however, save to say
that it was the policy of the depart
ment to make no promises, as contin-
gencies might arise that would delay
the departure of the troops from Manila
for San Francisco. A sudden outbreak
in Manila or dozen other contingencies
might make it necessary to keep the
volunteers there for another indefinite
period. 1t was admitted. however, that
such happening was only remote
possibility and not considered at all
probable. The Minnesota and Oregon
volunteers are being sent to Manila &c
be started home. That much is ad
mitted.

Public Schools Entertainment.

IUDAC ocnOOlS ENTERTAINMENTS
The exercises Of commencement week
closed Friday evening with one Of the
most enjoyable programs evee given by
our public schools.
The first number was cantata, "The
White Garland" by the younger pupils
Miss Eva Green being Queen. The lit
tie people did splendidly in both song
and recitation, and the cantata was re-
ceived with much favor.
"John Browns Ten Little Iniuns,' by
the 9Th and sixth grades, was we'll exc
cuted drill, all participating being in In
dian costume OF the most fantastic kind.
The drill was enjoyed both by the partic-
ipants and the audience.
The three tableaux-"The Soldiers
Farewell" "The Soldiers Return" and
'Uncle Sans School"-were excellent.
The cream of the program was re-
served for the closing number.
Ten young ladies' OF the high school
presented the pantomime. ''Angels of
Buena VISTA" All were clad in pure
white with flowing sleeves-traditiona
angels being initiated as closely as prac-
ticably. The graceful movements were,
during portion OF the time, accompa-
MED by Miss Fanny Wallaces recital of
Bryant's poem, on which the pantomime
is based.
As whole, the closing entertainment
was the most successful ever given by
the schools.

faithful unto death and I will give thee
q crown Of life" The speaker reviewed
the war for independeuce-0od's war
for life, liberty and pursuit OF happiness.
He spoke OF the growth OF slavery. the
anti. slavery sentiment OF the North
based on The Declaration Of Independ.
once and Lincoln's pleading for peace.
he had that Of the Jewish csptives In
Egypt. He spoke OF the immense
srmies engaged, the heroism on both
sides. War was horrible. but there were
worse things than war. The progress OF
the negro was Nm honor to the country.
Gods blessing was on the results OF the
war. The veterans must stand by Otis.
The United States must be supreme in
the Philippines for the good OF it's peo-
pie, that enlightenment and Christianiza.
tion may follow. Tue government has
not done too mnch for the veterans. The
old soldiers were urged to be faithful to
the army Of the Lord that they might be
clothed with righteousness. The ser.
mon was characterised by lofty patriot
ism and won hearty commendation.
Early Tuesday morning the members
OF the Grand army aud the Woman's Re-
lief Corps assembled at the Armory
whence they marched to the cemetery
where the soldiers graves were decorated
with beautiful flowers, accompanied by
the ceremonies provided by the ritual.
After the return from the cemetery an
interesting program WIS rendered ut the
NJ. E. church. The church was hand
somely decorated with the national col
ors and near the altar stood IA white mon
ument inscribed, ''ro the Unknown.
J. II. Blackburn, Commander Of the
istic services provided for Decoration
Day.
Miss Eunice Casebeer recited "An old
Army Overcoat" in an effective manner.
DIR. Horn spoke OF the great value Of
these memorial services by which we pay
respect to the living heroes and bring up
remembrances Of the valor of the dead.
May these memorial exercises intlame a
patriotism which knows no bounds. A
high tribute was paid to the soldiers aud
to the mothers and wives who endured
much for the country's cause.
q. w. Fenlason spoke of the fact that
the services Of the boys in the Spanish
war were being remembered with greater
enthusiasism than were the sacrificea Of
those who saved the nation in the sixties,
But we have no feelings OF jealousy to-
ward our yonng soldiers. In eternity
the Great Commander will give each hero
his just reward.
The closing feature OF the program
was most pleasing. Five little girls
flowers and evergreens. As they circled
the monument the garland was grace
fully entwined around it, eliciting hearty
applause.
The program was interspersed with a
