ANOTHER GRAVE TO DHcoeArR.

There's another grave TO decorate
On this Memorial Day,
There's mothers heart thAts dosolato
Though gaily blooms tho May:
There's youthful maiden weeping,
For her soldier 10 NO more,
For that hero now IL sleeping
With the veterans OF yore.
And Reveille still Is sounding
Music dear to soldier ears.
And the battle steeds are bounding
At the sound of martial cheers.
Aud the muffled drums are beating,
And the taps low solemn roll,
With the muskets last loud greeting,
Passes one more soldiers soul.
And our banner still Is streaming,
Far victorious to the breeze,
Where the Southern sun Is beaming,
Far beyond tho troptc seas.
And onr soldier boys In battle
Guard that banner with their lifeA
Mid the cannon's widest rattle,
In the fiercest of the strife.
God protect them ON the ocean.
God protect them on he land,
God we offer our devotion
For our gallant fighting band.
For tho victory, Lord. thou gaineth,
For the strife by thee is won,
And our armies thou retaineth
Till the worlds peace Ia won.

buffalo, May 30.-The preliminary
trial of Mr. and Mrs. Kinter and Mr.
and Mrs. James C. Saunders, Christian
scientists, charged with being respon-
sible for the death of young Rolfe
Saunders, was resumed yesterday. AS
little or no evidence against the Wo-
men has been brought out they were
discharged The answering of hypo-
thetical questions by number OF regu-

time. The answers to these questions
tended to show that had medical as

THERE cannot be word said
against William b. Clerk, the In
ion candidate for Mayor. The only
thing we have heard against his
candidacy is that he is Union
Republican. Mr.. Clerk has been
identified with the manufacturing
interests in our city for the past
twelve years and has been very
successful in the morocco business,
which he now carries on at Ninth
and Walnut streets. There cannot
be word said against his fitness
for the position Of chief magistrate
of our city. That he has many
friends goes without saying. From
the present outlook of two Republic
can candidates in the field, it strikes
us that DR.. ]. c. Fahey stands a
better chance than he did two years
ago of being elected Mayor. Still
we may be mistaken this year.
