There is plan noted in Grand Army
circles which merits consideration Il is
to change Memorial Day from May Both 10
the last Sabbath 10 that month. Au ex-
change says -" The ceremonies of the day
fit well with Sunday observance. The per-
pet1atiou of the observances which dis
tiDguish Memorial Day would be far more
certain under this plan than under The
present one As things are going it will
be 40 longer observed when the last mem
Der Of the Grand Army answers he final
roll call. Thirty years ago the people
observed the day as one sacred TO the
nations dead. But we have doubled our
population since then A generation has
come on the stage to whom the Civil War
is merely bis ory. Hence, there has been
gradual departure from the original in
tent of Memorial Day. To very large
element it is simply holiday, nothing
more.v

Tins FrightfuIly MangIed.

Brussels. Feb. IAN express train from
CIaais. having passengers from London on
board, collided today with a stationary
train at Foret. near this city. Thirty
persons W. killed outright cad fifty were
more or less injured. The train left Tour
nay al $50 this morning and reached Foret
at STA Immediately afterward the Mons
express dashed at full speed into the sta
ton and ran into the Tourney train, which
was standing at the Platform. 1t IS said
that, owing 70 the fog, the engineer of the
express train did not see the signals. The
collision was appalling. The express loco
motive mounted on top of the last car
riages of the Tourney train, which were
filed with passengers. These cars were
smashed to pieces.
Later reports show that only twenty-one
persons were killed, but that 100 were in
fish among the victims. The scene of the
wreck presents a terrible picture. When
the locomotive Of the express ieaped onto
the roofs of the three rearmOst carriag es
of the train from Tourney it crashed
through them and ground the carriages
and their occupants into an almost mex
tricable mass of splintered wood. broken
and twisted ironwork and mang,ed hu-
mainly. Six of the bodies of the victims
were found intertwined in the wheels of
the express locomotive. The terrible dis
fgurement of the dead passengers was ap-
palling.
