Report Of the Cemetery Commissioners.
The annual report of the board of ceme-
terv commissioners shows the income and
expenses for Oak Hill cemetery during the
past year to be as follows:
Received from sales of lots, 5 COZ 25
Received from owners of lots for
care of the same, 29i.OO
Received from the appropriation
of the town. 3|5OO
Total receipts, si2a1Q
Paid for care of lots, grading and
work of the year. S6I6.9f
i"'u WI Way' and setting, $500
Total. si2i5 O0
During the past year the income has
been greater than in former years because
of the sale of an unusual number OF high
priced lots, and much more than can be ex-
pected for the coming year. 1t is mat
ter for congratulation that the commission
ers have been able to do the usual amount
of work and Improvement, including open
ing up new section of land which has
been graded ready for sale, and pay, in
addition, for the new entrance without
asking additional appropriation. The year
has shown more improvements than any
former one for a long time, and Commits
sioner Day, who has the ground largely in
charge, is to be congratulated upon his
business-like management and advances.
During the year a complete census of the
cemetery has been taken, and record
written of all interments thus far made.
The record book gives the name OF the
person buried and the location in the yard.
Although the winter has been severe thus
far, and the ground frozen for some weeks
to depth of over two feet, the most of the
bodies have been placed in their last rest
ing place, and there are only eight or nine
bodies in the tomb at this time. The num-
Der of interments in the yard is a little
over 700.

Press dispatches of the last few days

foreign built ship. To the surprise
of naval constructors and rather to the
chagrin of the American people, the
New Orleans, which started two days
late, was re ported to have overtaken
the Brooklyn at Colombo.
Ell Paso barbored last night a hero
of the Spanish war in Richard Lee
who, during aptiago and all the hot
engagements of the Cuban coasts, was
chief yeoman on the Brooklyn. He
is on his way to San Francisco and is
enthusiastic over Schley snd loyal to
his old ship.
His explanation of the race is per-
haps the one which accounts for the
Brooklyn's lack of speed.
"The Brooklyn WAS fast Ship" he

The Dawn OF Freedom" To Be Pre-
scented On Monday Evening

The "Dawn of Freedom" will be at
the Myar opera house Monday, Dec.
l1th, with the entire New York cast
from the 18th Street Theater. In a
play dealing with war, insurrection,
suffering and hunger, it would seem
hard for an author to introduce any
comedy that would appeal to the
average audience, but in. ''The Dawn
of Freedom" the comedy vein is par
ticularly good and refined. The char
acters supplYin this lighter touch are
young newspaper woman, the war
correspondent Of the New York Uni
verse, aud young American flibuster.
The former has made the tour of til q

language of the young Americ an,
