Lincoln Post Objects to Street Fair
Celebration on That Day.

At the regular meeting of Lincoln
post, No. l, G. A. r. of this city, the
following resolutions were offered and
unanimously adopted, by a standing
vote of the post:
Whereas, 1t has come to our knOWl-
edge that a street fair is to be held on
the last days of May, including May 30,
our sacred Memorial Day, at which an
attempt is to be made to have an extern
sive celebration, to which the various
societies and others from the adjacent
vicinity are to be invited to make it
commercial and hilarious occasion, in
violation Of law, honor, decency, patri-
otism and solemn loyalty to our heroic
and respected dead: Therefore be it
Resolved, That the commander of
this post appoint a special committee of
five to wait upon the mayor and the
Commercial club, and others officially
concerned and present our most vehe-
ment protest against such a DISSERTATION
of that sacred and holy day, and that
we demand that Memorial Day, 1900, as
ever heretofore and as we hope may
ever be observed as a sacred holiday,
and that the mayor of the city be re-
quested to issue his proclamation max
ing it holiday in accordance with the
statutes of Kansas, and request all
business houses to close on that day be-
tween the hours of 1 and 5 o'clock p. m,
and calling upon all citizens to observe
the day, in grateful memory of the sac
rifices, suffering, glory and achieve
ments of our heroic dead
Pursuant to the above resolutions, the
post commander appointed the follow
ing committee to call upon the mayor
Commercial club, and all others official
ly interested in the street fair. to carry
out the purposes and objects Of the res

OUT OF PATIENCE.
Navy Department Disguised With
British Shin Builders.

Washington, April 9.-The naval auth
critics are exasperated over the delay in
completing the cruiser Albany at the
Armstrong works at Elswick, where her
officers and crew have been for the last
two weeks The principle trouble has
been due to the steam heating, which is
something practically unknown to for
eign warship builders, but which was
made part of the contract for the Al
bany. Letters from officers on the
ship received tell of the sufferings of
the crew during a fortnight of British
weather, when on the clearest day it
was possible to see almost the length of
the ship. The rest of the time it was
raining. and it was always chilling to
the bone. All the time an insufficient
force Of yard workmen were hammering
away in all parts of the vessel. The
works employ thirty thousand men, but
the labor union regulations are SO far
fetched that more work, it is said could
be accomplished in an American estab-
ishment with ten thousand men.
The final delivery of the ship has been
promised for April 10, across the ocean
in the hope of reaching New York on
April q.

THE GOLD STATUE.
g The American Girl" Not to Be on
Exhibition at Paris Exposition.

& The American Girl" Not to Be on
Exhibition at Paris Exposition.
New York. April 9.-Capt A H Mat
tox, press representative of the United
States commission to the Paris EXPOSE
ton, said today:
THE $500 gold statue of Maude
Adams. the actress, typifying ''the
American girl will not be exhibited at
the Paris exposition.
Miss Adams statue will not be
admitted within the exposition gates on
the ground that the exhibit is a per-
sonaI one. Commissioner General Peck
was asked for space for the statue, but
I am authorized that the only Ameri-
can statue to be shown will be that Of
Lafayette. the money for which was
subscribed by the government and
children of the public schools
1t is understood that Commissioner
Peck's decision will not prevent those
interested in the statue from sending
it to Paris. Just where it will be shown
has not been announced. The plans
for shipping it have been completed.
The statue weighs 700 pounds.
The unwilling of the Lafayette statue
will take place on July 4, which will be
known as United States day" Presi-
dent Mckinley will start the ceremo-
MES by pushing an electric button in
the White House, whence telegraph and
cable wires will reach to the exposition
grounds. The breaking of current will
allow the veil over the statue to fall
to the base.
H. A. RucIxer. one of the United
States department commissioners, says
that demands for space are being made
daily by American producers and man
ufacturers He admits that there had
been friction between Commissioner
Peck and the French authorities.
Word was received that the exposi-
ton grounds and buildings were not
nearing completion as rapidly as had
been generally believed, and an officer
connected with the American commits
sion said it would be June 1 before the
exposition would be in full swing. The
delay is said to be due to the failure of
the French to complete the buildings.

Steamer Caracas Sails For Venezuelan
Ports

New York, April 9-The steamer Car
acas. which has just sailed for Vene-
zuelan ports, took one of the best car
goes of manufactured products that
been sent to that country in several
months. The consignment of provis-
ions was also above the average usually

that the followers of Hernandez do not
number more than $50 men, and that he
is far from Ciudad, Bolivar Conse-
Quently peace is being restored and ag-

not only the mail order business but it
will be the means of merchants being
able to send samples of merchandise.

United States Cannot Control the
Paris Exhibit.

Paris, April 9.-The French authori-
ties have decided that all exhibits at the
exposition are to be open to the public
on Sundays and the United States exhi-
bits are naturally within this regulation.
These exhibits are under cover in
buildings erected by the French govern
ment over which the United States
authorities have no control, therefore
they must abide by the rules established
The United States pavilion is not within
this category, and the question of it's
being opened or closed on Sunday the
French officials have left entirely to
Commissioner Peck's desire. He Will
probably announce today or tomorrow

Thick Piece of Iron Melted in Edison's
Laboratory at Orange.

New York, April "a remarkable
experiment was made at the laboratory
of Thomas A. Edison at Orange, n. J.,
where a piece of iron was melted in ex-
actly five seconds. Louis Dreyfus of
Frankfort on the Main showed Mr.. Esdi-
son this new process for attaining an
enormous degree of heat in an almost
incredibly short space of time by the
combustion of a certain chemical com
pound which the inventor keeps a secret
The chemical compound is used in con-
nection with powdered aluminium.
Mr.. Dreyfus placed half cupful OF
his chemical in a small crucible and
covered it with a small quantity of the
powdered aluminium. He then placed
an iron wrench about half an inch thick
and six inches long in the crucihle.
Touching a match to the compound Mr..
Drevfus stepped back and the mixture
bIazed up fuIiously. In five seconds the
iron wrench was melted. 1t is estimated
that the heat evolved in the process was
900 degrees centigrade, hitherto con-
sidered impossible to reach. The value
of the process is in welding together
steel rails and tubing.

IRRIGATION of BIackberries.

One important point in the irrigation
of blackberries established by the ex-
periments of Professor Jordan at the
New Jersey station Is TINT the effect OF
irrigation is not confined to the year in
which the water is applied. The pres
ence OF sufficient moisture to provide
for the growth and development of
plant and fruit seems to favor a
growth of cane thoroughly matured
and fitted for the succeeding seasons
work The dry season of 1898 occurred
during the ripening period. and great
clusters of nearly developed fruit dried
up completely where not irrigated.
Nothing of the kind occurred when wa
ter was given. The dry period of 1898
occurred very early in the development
of the fruit and was not long enough i'll
duration to materially affect the crop,
yet the results were again very mark
eddy in favor of irrigation.
