Memorial osy.

There was a general suspension of BUSH
ness in Woodbury. on Tuesday, the day set
apart for the revival of the best impulses
of our natures ememberance of our
cOuntry's heroes, but in the gathering OF
our people during the exercises at the
monument, there was evidence of great
lack of general interest in the proceedings
Fourteen members of General Howell Post,
who during the morning hours had visited
and decorated the graves of comrades in
tered IN the various cemeteries of this city
aud at Paulsboro, Clarksboro and Mantua,
gathered at the base of the monument and
read the memorial of the G. A. r. Then
there was singing led by Mr.. NJ Ware
Scott and violin by Miss Leona 2. Scott
VIM 2 Haines delivered an inspiring GRAFTON
tot he small audience from the base Of the
monument, and the exercises closed with
singing America" There was a painful
dearth of decorations at the monument
and lack of interest not complimentary
to our city.

He would sign such a petition for reforms himself for ke wanted a better government He had favored for ten years a scheme Of re- form by which every Uitlander would receive the franchise after two, three or four years residence, on condition that he took an oath of allegiance on his arrival in the Transvaal, S0 that he could be called upon to serve in de- fsase Of the country.

during the evening. From the dis tinctness of the image and length of time, from three to five seconds, re- Guired icy each bat to cross the seg- ment of the moon in the field of the telescope, Dr. Brooks estimated the distance from the instrument to the bats to be about seven and one-half miles. The angle at which the tele- scope was inclined gave it a grade of about three feet in eleven which at the distance named would put the bats more than two miles above the surface Of the earth. The atmosphere was very clear at the time the bats passed, and the characteristic nervous futter of their wings could be plainly seen.

MEMORIAL DAY
Those Who Died for Their Country
 Again HOnored.

Memorial Day WAS celebrated with more than usual fervor i'll Phoenix this year. The old war spirit-not the spirit of antagcnism between the north and south-had been aroused, perhaps by the war with Spain. Not many Of the latter heroes lie~in the local cemetery, and none of those that Phoenix sent out lie there. A single participant of the war, sailor of Ma nila, and a stranger, is buried among the heroic dead.
 But many who were known in Phoe- nix are dead. Some lie at San Juan and one in the historical Arlington. The graves of others may have been strewn with flowers at Manila yester- day.
 All these were thought of when the flowers came to be distributed. The memory of those earlier heroes, dimmed by a passing generation, mad been frightened, and it was as if new Memorial Day had been instituted.
 The ceremonies began at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Preceded by the Indian school band, Company B, N. G. A, commanded by J. L. B. Alexander, marched to the office of Captain G. D.. Gray of the Grand Army. Here line was formed, consisting of the G. A. R.. the Rough Riders, the Women's Relief Corps in carriages, and escorted by the national guard, proceeded to the cemetery where the ceremony of dec- oration was performed. Not only the graves of fallen soldiers were ibeauti- fled, for this day was made an occasion lhy many surviving friends to decorate the graves of their dead
 In the afternoon a committee Of the fire department visited the cemetery, bringing wagon laden with Wrearhs, one of which was laid upon the grave or hung upon the tomb stone Of every dead member The closing ceremonies of the day took place at the union meeting grOundS adjoining the Presbyterian church last night.
 Captain P. P Parker presided and introduced a quartette consisting of Messrs, Beller and Walbridge. and Misses Sargent and Parker. Under regulation Of the Grand Army apply ing to meetings under the auspices Of that organization, E. J. Holhngshead recited Lincolnis famous Gettysburg address. He was followed by Wade il. Rulings in an eloquent oration cover ing the military glory of of this country from the war of independence to the war with Spain.
 Mrs. Winfield Scott read an original poem upon the dead of America who have died for America. After a beau- tiful solo by Miss Sargent the cere- monies were concluded by an eloquent address by Judge Baker.
