Some Growsomc Tales from Washington.

Some grcwsomc tales come from
the War and Navy departments
apropos Of the removal from Cuba to
this country Of the remains of those
killed in the recent war. Not long
ago q widow of one of the victims
OF the battle of Santiago called at
the Navy Department. "l wish" )"
she said, "to secure the remains OF
my husband, who was buried in
Cuba, which understand to be
among those soon TO arrive" The
official to whom this request was
preferred asked her to consider, sug-
gcsting it was much better that her
husband, the nations hero, should
lie at Arlington among those who
fell with him in battle, where his
grave would always be cared for, and
whore she could visit it from time to
time, but whether she visited it or
not, others would rrvcrcntly lay
wrcaths upon the mound.
"l know" she admitted, eve
should be grateful for the care be-
slowed upon the graves of our dear
ones, but dcsirc-oh, SO much :
that the body Of my husband shall
lie beside the remains of my children,
in the little cemetery at home. My
parents lie there, ! shall be laid to
rest close by them, and | should be
happier to know that what is left Of
my husband was there near u.s." No
argument that Mr.. y. advanced
availcd to move the determined
woman.
81 am sorry to tell YOU" he said,
finally, growing quite desperate, "but
in the climate Of Cuba wood decays
very rapidly, and the collins holding
the remains Of those who died were
found, in n1ny instances, to have all
gone to +; >cs, and the bones all
fallen tog her. While we know
that in each grave six were buried,
we cannot establish the identity of
the bodies, so it would, you see, be
quite impossible for me to separate
the body OF your husband from
those Of the five comrades with
whom he was buried" The heart
broken widow paused for a moment
in deep thought. "Would you
mind, she said, "giving me one Of
the six? will take my chances"
Another story is to the effect that
the body OF n certain officer shipped
from Cuba ON the steamer with that
OF maiden lady whose remains
were TO be forwarded to a niccc-hcr
on y rclativc--in n far Western city,
was through mistake sent to the city
for which the body Of the maiden
aunt was destined, while the maiden
aunt reached the city (and was re-
ccivcd with military honors) to
which the dead officer should have
been sent. The authorities in the
latter city received, the day after
the funeral Of the supposed officer,
the following telegram "Body Of
dead officer received ship dead

knight of Old Virginia Victorious mt
the Tournament.

A large field of entries and an Gtten-
dance rather smaller than is usual on such
occasions were the features of the Stone
burner tournament at Stoneburner Park
yesterday. 1t is probable that the large
number of attractions elsewhere had their
effect in reducing the attendance. There
were two events on the card, one for
amateurs and the other for professional
filters The first was easy for r Kirby, Of
Alexandria County who won Seymour
Honsen was second, E. } Stoneburner

The professional event brought nineteen
knights to the lists. At the conclusion Of

five knights had made perfect scores The
tie was run off, and at the conclusion of
the contest Harry Palmer, knight of Old

Coal Miners Persist in Holding n
Lubor Day Celebration.

WILKESBARRE. Pa. Sept. s.-The cf-
fort of the coal operators here to throw
cold water on the miners celebration OF
Labor Day by ordering work at nearly all
the collieries, failed. The United Mine
Workers had arranged a big programme.
and when the unusual order for work on
Labor Day was posted it was taken by the
union men as a personal affronC. The
parade held here this morning was the
largest in the history Of local labor or
CARNATIONS and many Of the men in the
ranks had remained away from work for
the purpose Of showing their determina-
tion to back the union in the stand it has
taken. The chief feature Of the parade was
the presence of large delegations from
other labor unions. and at the speeeh-mak-
ing following the parade, the leaders of
these unions declared they would help the
miners in their strike
Frederick Dilcher, of the National Com
nittee Of the United Mine Workers, and
several other union leaders made speeches,
and the trend Of all was that the miners
should prepare for a strike. showing that
the officials of the union expect the oper-
atoTs to remain firm in the stand they have
taken not to make concessions.
