DISCOUNTED ELEMENT.

There Is ever an element in such af-
fairs that has a protest to enter because
the result was different from what they
had hoped and expected. The man who
cannot take defeat gracefully is to be
pitied Had there been semblance of
unfairness in the defeat of FitZsimmons,
had he been the victim of foul play, or
trickery, the result would be regarded
differently. But he was beaten fairly,
and decisively, by better man. That is
all there is to it. Jeffries is the better
fighter. Fitzsimmons knows 1t now, as
do we who thought that the Cornishman
was invincible. All praise sDd credit to-
the man who won--for he won fairly,
and is the champion in fact, as well as
by title. Willie Green.

FATAL PRACTICAL JOKE.

New York, June 1.-Franll McGill
died suddenly at the car house of the
Patterson Railway company at Patter-
son, N. j., Sunday night. 1t was given
out at the time that heart disease
caused his death, but an investigation
indicates that he died as result of a
practical joke, being killed by elecl
tricity.
Joseph Grant and Christopher ASH
field, who We're also employed at the
car house, We're arrested upon charges
of manslaughter. County Physician
Mcbride, who held the autopsy, said
the indications are that death was
: caused by shock, but of what nature
he is not prepared to say until the in1
vestigation is more complete.
Grant admits that practical joke
was played ON McGill, live wire be-
ing connected with soft soap tub. Tt
was expected that when the men took
out handful of soft soap TO wash
their hands they would receive slight
shock. The wire used, however, aps
pears to have been high tension ond
and the result was fatal.

BIG DAY IN NEW YORK.
Parades OF Soldiers, Young and Old
--Exerciscs Mt Grants Tomb.

"sIIACfCIScS III NFtnJ lOIllDs
New York, May so.-With holiday
making. parades, flying flags, sports
of all kinds, the usual decorating of
graves and speechmaking, Memorial
day was we'll celebrated i'm New York
and vicinity.
Early this morning, thousands of cN-
cursionists began thronging at the eN-
its of Manhattan island, pouring over
in ferryboats to Long Island and New
Jersey. some bound for the seashorc,
some for farms and some for ceme-
telies, where now, in addition to the
dead of the civil war. there lay in u
few instances the dead of the war with
Spain. The graves of these received
the same care that for years marked
those of the older dead.
I'm the city there We're several pro-
cessions in honor of the day. The inn
portant military parade in New York
city proper was reviewed by General
Miles and the military parade in
Brooklyn was reviewed by Governor
Roosevelt
The New York parade consisted of
every national guard regiment in the
city, three companies of regular engi-
lery and forty-two Grand Army posts.
The Brooklyn parade included ma
rines, several batteries of the regular
artillery, naval militia, Grand Army
posts and other organizations.
Exercises were held this afternoon
at Grants tomb. The Grand Army rit-
nal was performed and speeches made
by Governor Roosevelt and others.
Soldiers monuments We're unveiled
i'm Jersey City, New Brunswick and
Orange, n. j.
A remarkable feature of the day was
the extraordinary reception accorded
to the Seventy first regiment i'm the
New York military parade. Several
officers of this organization had been
subjected to am inquiry regarding
their conduct in Cuba, but the men
We're greeted with enthusiasm. All
along Fifth avenue the crowd yelled
and cheered when the Seventyfrst
passed, as it did for no other regiment.
Women tore off sashes and ribbons and
waved them i'm the air.
The Seventh regiment of the New
York national guard, which did not
volunteer for the war with Spain, was
hissed as it passed the reviewing stand.

IN MEMORY OF vIRGINlus.
Graves of American and British
Victims Decorated.

Santiago de Cuba, May 30.-Memor-
ial day was deliberately observed here,
notwithstanding the fact that there
are few graves of American soldiers in
this part of Cuba. Joseph G.. Saunders
arranged an impressive ceremony
which was carried out over the graves
of the victims of the Nirginius tragedy
in 1873, when some thirty Americans
and six British subjects, with many
Cubans, who We're conveying assist
ance TO the Cuban insurrecton on the
American schooner Nirginius, were
captured by the Spanish gunboat Tor
nado and soon afterward shot by the
Spanish. The graves We're located with
considerable difficulty by Major Saun-
ders, a near relative of member of
the unfortunate crew.
Flags are flying at half-mast. sa-
lutte was fired at noon and regiment
al band played a dirge.
The Roman Catholics held Jubilee

He expected 10 get better, but
breathed his last at Sis o'clock.
The dispatch he dictated was sent,
and it is hoped it partly prepared his
sweetheart for the message that fol-
lowed an hour later.
An elderly lady sat in the smoking
apartment of one sleeping car bending
over the form of a young man.
\ doctor entered and as he placed
his hand on the cold brow the woman,
with sorrow pictured upon her face,
waited hopefully for a word which
might remove her fears. But they
came not. The man was dead. With
choking voice She said: "lIc was my
boy, my darling boy" "Yout son?"
No; my son died two years ago, but
this one said he would take his place
ii he could. and he was to marry my
daughter next week. Oh, but ii will
Kill her" The woman was Mrs. j.
man was David i. Halo. of Minncap-
oils. The daughter, Miss Laura Nor
ganstcrn, is said to be a niece of .Ad-
miral Schlcy.
The scenes about the disaster are too
horrible TO depict with amy degree of
accuracy. Especially were the occur
rences heartrending when the bodies
of the killed and injured were being
carried out.
The darkness was so intense that the
identity of the inanmate forms could
not be told. Mothers were searching
for their children, there having been
number on the train, and strange
as it may seem. none of the children
received fatal injuries.

of 224 confederate soldiers are buried.
