OPPORTUNITY FOR G. A. R.

What David $. CowIes Post Can Have
 for Asking.-A Donation from Uncle
 Sam.
 At many of the forts and arsenals throughout the United States are great quantities of obsolete implements of war such as cannon, howitzers, mortars, shells and other proiectiles which the Secretary of War is authorized to loan or give to soldiers monument associa. tions, municipal corporations and Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic Some of these guns are very old and are worthless except for old iron but they are all more or less ornamental and to many are associated records which ren- der them doubly interesting.
 Now we have in process of construct ion here in Canaan a neat little park which as soon at it is clothed with Mother Earth's green grass carpet, will be thing of beauty and joy forever, and the barrenness which for years has made it's site unpleasant to look upon will be forever removed.
 A few of these old guns, nicely mount. ed and arranged about the park would greatly enhanse its sttractIveness and beauty and give to it a character and martial dignity otherwise wanting.
 There is no good reason why any city or village in the United States should not obtain cannon, shot and shell fol the ornamentation of parks and public squares. They can be obtained by ap, plicatiou through any member of con. gress and all the expense attached to il is the cost of transportation.
 David s. Cowles Post stands in DO, sition to secure these warlike ornaments and we feel that we can safely make the announcement that the citizens of Ga. naan will stand the expense of trans portation. Then too, if Csnsan's pa triots ferver ever becomes sufficiently aroused to take definite action towardl the erection of suitable soldiers me morial, as last weeks NEWS editorially suggested, these reli ,s would undoubt edly make appropriate ornaments tc such structure.

MEMORIAL DAY.

The weather was favorable but the roads were dusty. The day was we'll ob- served in this town. Most of the stores closed at noon for the remainder of the day. and the post office was closed from noon until p. m. There was an un- usually abundant display of flags and bunting at stores and private residences and on public buildings. Only neces sary labor was performed during the day.
 Starting from this village at 7.30 8. m. D. s. Cowles Post and the Sons of Veterans made the tour of the cemeter- ies according to the program published in the NEWS of May A. At each ceme- tery the soldiers graves were decorated; 1; | and at Clayton, Canaan Valley and East Canaan the school children gave fine programs of recitations and singing. | At noon the G. A. R., s. of V. and | W. R. O. dined in the lower hall of the Town Hall building.
 Promptly at 2 p. m. the literary pro- gram commenced in the upper hall. The hall was so completely filled that many could not be seated, and the tenn perature of the room was very oppress- i've. The exercises were so lengthy, oc- cupying nesrly three hours, that the NEWS will not attempt 8 verbatim re- port but will tell what was done instead of what was said.
 The opening exercise consisted of songs and recitations by fifty children of the primary school in charge of Mrs Root. Post Commander Kilmer con- ducted the ritual service. Rev B. J. Kelley offered prayer. The male octette composed of A. V A. Felten, O. D. Barnes, c. E. DeHsrt, R D. Peirce, N. B. Lawton, A. A. Hubbard, J. R. Jordan, and Fred Manvel sang "Sleep Comrades, Sleep" J. H. Roraback delivered very cordial and patriotic address of welcome. Miss Nina Owens very impressively recited "The Bivouac of the Dead" The octette sang ''The Vacant Chair !" Commander Kilmer in a brief but felicitious speech introduced the orator of the day, Col A. B. Law renee of Warsaw, N. T., whom he dub- bed Nutmeg Boy". Col Lawrence first exhibited section of the Confed. crate flag which the Union army hauled down from the capitol of the Southern Confectionery at Richmond, Va, in 1865 and which he had reverently laid on General Sedgwick's grave at Cornwall Hollow yesterday morning in token oi the downfall of the confederacy but which General Sedgwick did not live to see but for which he fought bravelY and sacrificed his life. Col Lawrence also exhibited a cane presented him at Corn. wall Hollow yesterday morning. The cane is made from one of the timbers oi the house at Toraington in which John Brown was born. Col Lawrence made a very patriotic and comprehensive ad dress. He confined himself almost en. tirely to his manuscript. He reviewed. the civil war. the patriotism, heroism and privations of the Union soldiers and related many incidents of army life, He spoke words of oongratutatior to the veterans, and gave good advice to the rising generation. The exercises were closed by the octette singing "America" and the entire audience join ing in the singing.

Thieves Still at Work on the C.N. E

Thieves Still at Work on the C.N. E..
 The thieves who have been systemst- ically operating at the stations along the c. N. B. R. R. for some time past are still at work. The station at Terry vile was broken into one night last week where they robbed the chewing gum machine, obtaining about $5 co in cash and quantity of tickets. On Sunday night the Millerton station was entered through the telegraph office window, a quantity of tickets being stolen besides $45O from the slot-chew- ing gum machine. David Ham blin' s farm house, located about three miles from the Millerton station was also bro- ken into the same night and the sum of $8. % was taken from 8 pocket book to- gether with few articles of jewelry.
 These thieves apparently have sys. tematized method of procedure and it is noticeable that after operating at the eastern end of the line they are likely to be heard from again shortly after at the western end. It has also been remark. ed that the robberies have occurred mainly on the line from Hartford tc MilIerton and inasmuch as careful watch is kept on all suspicious charac ters it IS singular fact that none of the thieves have been captured.

The Editor Knows.

Editors are the first to hear of gossip, of scandal, indiscretions of men and women, things unfit for publication, in trigues, clandestine meetings, firtations of married women, amours of married men, and in fact all neighborhood scan dals. Editors generally know all the naughty doings in community, no matter how secret. If half we hear was published, divorce suits would follow in some cases, social ostracism in others, shot guns and lynching, les olate homo g. shame, humiliation and misery. The editor learns much of the hypocrisy oi life, and it is wonder he believes in anything on earth or hereafter. People who abuse the editor the loudest some times owe their standing in society to his forbearance. Exchange.
