more frequent, as the rows OF Simple
heaEntones attest. In 1909 Samuel Frost,
a prominent citizen, was buried there
and from that time on for over 100
years the interments were frequent.
Many of the slabs erected by loving
friends have gone into decay, and
broken pieces bearing fragments of in
script.ans lie at the foot of rough
piece of granite. The descendants of
these early dead, in few instances
have restored the time-worn stones by
inserting them in a neat marble frame
work suitably carved.
Some Quaint Inscriptions.
One of the most interesting epitaphs
appears over the grave of Captain Der
ryman, who was buried in 1908, and OF
his father, Isaac Bergman. who was
placed at rest on Sept. Is. 1899. 1t reads:
''Dorcas' blasts and Neptune's waves
Have tossed him to and fro,
But by the sacred will of God
He's anchored here below"
Not far away is the vault in which
Captain John Nelson rests, the date of
his death being May IT, 1852.
On the Broadway front of the little
cemetery not far from the Wall street
front is a modest slab telling that Mar
garet, wife of Andrew Hamersley, was
buried on Jan. 80, 1882.
this small city of the dead attracts more
attention from visitors than that of
Sidney Breese. It is pointed out by the
sections assistants as one of the unique
features of the cemetery. This is the
inscription:
Sidney Breese, June 9, 1857.
Made by Himself.
Ha Sidney Sidney,
Lyest thou here?
I here I've
Till Time is flown to its extremity.
The Old Printers Epitaph.
One of the most substantial monu-
ments is located on the edge of the
north path around Old Trinity. 1t is
made of gray granite, and bears this
| novel inscriptions:
William Bradford, printer, May %,
1852, age 80 years. Born in old England
1860. Came here 1882, before the city Of
Philadelphia was laid out. He was
/ printer to the government for upwards
of 80 years, and being quite worn out
| with old age and labour, he left this
mortal state in the lively hope of a
/ Blessed immortality.
Reader reflect how soon you'll quit
this stage;
You'll find but few attain such an age;
Life's full of pain, 10 here's a place OF
rest,
Prepare to meet your God, then you are
| blest."
The stone that marks the resting
place of Catherine Wood, who was bur
led Jan. l6, 1888, has this epitaph:
My flesh shall slumber in the ground
! Till the last trumpet's joyful sound
Shall burst the grave with sweet sur
prise,
And in my Savior's immage rise"
Tiny twin boys were tearfully placed
in a modest grave on the Broadway
side of the yard. This is their epitaph
on a plain brownstone slab:
Two infant brothers, Valentine Nor
ris and Isaac c. Wilkins, Sept. "a 1796
I'VE were born to die,
It's but passing thought,
Our life is nothing"

The surgical history Of the war with
Spain, soon to be published by the war
department, will be copiously illus
trated with Photographs taken express
ly for the purpose by experts who made
it their business to record in this i'm
perishable way every feature of the
recent conflict that had to do with the
killing, the wounding and the treating
in hospital of our soldiers. Conse-
quently, the work has been very beau
tifully done, and the series of volumes
comprising pictures and text will fur
nish a memorial as monumental in
character as it is novel in kind, They
will carry the reader into the field and
show him how men were injured or
slain In battle; how they were brought
to the canvas-walled hospitals and sub
jected to emergency treatment, and
how they were taken aboard the hospi-
tai ships or otherwise disposed Of up
to the time of final recovery or DEATH
This portion Of the subject matter will
have it's Manila chapter, its Cuban
chapter and it's Porto Rican chapter,
and the medical story of the military
similarly striking fashion, while X-ray
Paragraphs" of brain wounds, bone
wounds and embedded Mauser bullets
will lend realism to the discussion.
The text of this history will be hardly
less entertaining than the pictures, and
some very remarkable conclusions Will
be drawn as to the Improvement of
modern warfare in the direction of hu-
mainly. To offset the increased eff
cheney of weapons, the distance be-
tween contending lines in battle has
been greatly augmented, minimizing
the number of hits and the severity of
wounds inflicted. Not the perfected
field gun will approach the short sword
of the ancient Roman legionary as an
instrument Of killing. Nowadays Is
per cent of casualties in a pitched bat
tie is considered very large, whereas
the Romans at Cannae killed or wound
ed 80 per cent. of their adversaries. At
Kunersdorf. in 1853, the casualties ran
11p to SO per cent, and at MAZDA, in
1906, the French lost SIS per cent OF
their whole army, the lighting belng
practically hand to hand.
A vast array of figures is ndduced 10
prove that warfare, with all its modern
improvements, is becoming steadily
more humane. The number of men
killed per hour is less. At the battle OF
Borodino the number killed per hour
was $500, at Kunersdorf it was 415E
per hour at Konigsgratz zoos per hour
at I.eipsic 1000 per hour, at Solferlnc
2.771 per hour and at Metz 27O2 pei
hour The proportion Of hits to shots
fired has not materially increased, not
withstandins the boosted accuracy oI
the new firearms. At the battle Of Leip.
sic the amount Of lead expended for
each man killed was equal to his
weight. At Murfreesboro, according K
report by Rosccrans, Ct rifle bullets
and 1856 musket balls were required tt
nit one man. At Mare II Tour the Ger
mans made one hit in 49, shots fired
The experience Of the late wal

To the Editor of the Standard:

To the Editor of the Standard:
have just witnessed part of the ser
vices in Butte in honor of Memorial day.
I read this morning what the Standard
SAN about the "blue and the gray and
I have read a good deal of the prose and
poetry printed elsewhere on that line. If
/ know my own heart, I am not unduly
preiudiced. / think I am as "broadly'
American as most of them 1 was not

in the ranks, my brother in a commission
Ell officer under Otis. What I ask myself
is whether it is a fact that the proposition
is to honor equally the man who wore the
blue and the man who wore the gray and
if that is so, whether it would not be best
to drop Memorial day on the theory that
all of those whom ii honors We're wrong.
or IS the lesson of Memorial day designed
to teach us that both were right? hope
you will regard this letter as a sincere in
quiry and not as an expression of an ir-
reconciable spirit. r.
Butte, May so, 1899.
In the first place, the Standard does
not believe that the blue and the gray
stand, or that they should stand in all
respects upon an equal footing. The
former fought to preserve the union.
the latter to destroy, or at least divide
it. The arguments in favor of state
sovereignty as urged by the leaders Of
the secession movement never impress
ed us with any force. We believe, and
always shall, that the Websterian argu-
ment in favor of liberty and unfer
now and forever one and inseparable
never has been and never can be an
swered. The South fought on behalf OF

NEITHER of the political parties can
throw upon the other the stigma of de-
feat OF the LaFollstte railroad bill in the
9th legislature. While the republicans
did OF do their duty by the bill. still
the ratio is in their favor. In the house
a votes were cast on the bill, IS being
in favor OF its passage. and AZ against.
OF the 80 in favor of the bill, 33 were re-
publicans, and but fusionists, while
against the bill the names of SO rspub-
licsns and of 6 fusionists were recorded.
THUS in the republican house the fusion
fusion element had it within its power
to pass the dill, and its vote would have
given the necessary majority. The
fusion senate of34 members gave but ten
votes In favor OF the bill, setting down
remarkably hard on any attempt at rail-
road legislation. The Colfax Commoner
says that it's party, the fusionists, must
make their campaign nsxt season on the
railroad issue. In view of the facts, we
fail to see where the party can get much

THE organization of local board of
trade would prove of great benefit to
Pullman. Thousands of desirable peo-
pie are now leaving the east to find new
homes in the west, and if the advantages
OF Pullman and the contingent country
were shown them many OF thom would
locate with us. Other localities, many
of very inferior advantages to this or
ganize boards of trade, or bureaus of in
fermrtion, and by diligence and effort
are getting settlers who could much bet
ter their own condition and ours by com
ing here, and well regulated board of
trade could bring them. No other local
ity in the northwest can offer greater in
,dueements in the way of agricultural
possibilities, and no city can compare
with Pullman's school facilities. The
class of settlers we want are those who
will buy up the many farms now held by
outside companies, and for the farmer
with some means this is the Mecca of
his hopes. We have the inducements,
and by the organization of board of
trade we can get the settlers.
