(Conclusion.)

The day broke at last, and the
guards entered the tent and cut the
bonds that bound the prisoners legs.
The p part of his face was envel-
oped in a thick wooden muller, and
thus blindfolded he was led out to die.
His grave was already dug, and they
stood him beside 1t. The firing party
consisted OF four men; three Of the
rifles held blank cartridges and the
fourth was to deal the death blow,
but none of them knew who held the
deadly weapon.
The firing party were in charge of
an officer who held a revolver in his
hand. Should the prisoner be alive
after the party had fired, 1t was the
officers duty to execute the sentence
himself.

through Hendricks brain. He fell

Strasburg's Astronomical Clock.

The celebrated astronomical clock OF
Strasburg Is in the minister, or cathe-
dral, and was originally designed by
an astronomer named Isaac Habrecht,
in the early part of the sixteenth CEN
fury. Previous to this time, in fact as
early as 1854, Strasburg had an as
Economical clock. II was in three
parts. The lower part had a universal
calendar, the central part an astro-
labe, and In the upper division were
figures Of the three Magi and the Vir-
gin. At every hour the Magi came
Forward and bowed to the Virgin; at
the same time a chime was played, and
a mechanical cock crew. This clock
Of the Magi, as It was called. stopped
in the early part OF the sixteenth cen
fury, and was replaced by a clock
made by Habrecht, which ran until
1883. when 1t stopped, and all at
tempts to put its works in order
failed. In 1898 a clockmaker named
Schwllgue undertook to remodel the
internal machinery, and finished 1t In
1912.

A Smart American GIri.

An American girl, Miss Burdlett by
name, hopes to make a good thing out
of the coming Paris exposition. She
has bought the Pompeiian house, built
about forty years ago by Prince Je-
rome Napoleon. The house Is on the
Cours la Refine. and Miss Burdlett pro-
poses to transform 1t into tea and re-
freshment roo2is for weary sightseers.
Meals will be served in the atrium,
where musicians will play. just as when
''Plon Plon" gave Italian fetes there.
The mattresses will wear Pompeiian
costumes, and, aside from the refresh
ment feature, the place will be well
worth seeing simply as a curiosity.
Miss Burdlett expects to make enough
money during the exposition to pay
for the house.

In the judgment of the highest
military critics of the day, it was i'm

a magnitude. History, when searched

no hopeful example. 100000 men

1t is five and thirty years since the

Army swung past the reviewing stand
in that immortal parade at Washing

has come the declining year, the
whitening head, the faltcrng step. A
few more years and they all will sleep

whiten the hills and dot the valleys
of the sunny South. May their mem-

valor be recOunted, while America has
a heart to beat and tongue to speak,
In the mighty material upheaval
which followed the Civil War, in the
swift race for wealth and power which
has possessed our nation, many have

vindictive and awful policies.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Continued from First Page

the peoples of the earth may know
the hand of the Lord, that it is
mighty; that they may fear the Lord
your God forever"
With something of the same rcver-
ent spirit towards the God who led
and who preserved us, and with loyal
loving hearts for the heroes who
fought and won our battles for US,
has this Memorial day been
set apart and made our ma
tion's sacred, holy day. And
now, with more than generation
passed, since Appomatox, it has be.
come our grateful task, to recount to
those who ask the meaning Of this day,
the pregnant history of those mighty
years, when gathering legions, un-
skilled in the arts of war, and with
no thirst for the blood of their South
ern brethren, but with fixed unchang-
ing purpose, and firm unfaltcring pa
triotism, left the hearthstone and the
loved ones, and at the call of country
and of duty, went forth to battle and
to death. There were sad hearts and
saddcr homes, but unto all, for those
who went and for those who remained,
there came peace and blessing in the
consciousness that it was the Offering
of patriots for the life of the nation.
1t was a terrible war. Anglo-Saxon
met Anglo-Saxon, the Puritan the
Cavalier. The one, filled to the full,
with a never dying love for the union
and the constitution, charged with
the fiery speeches of Patrick Henry
and the strong, cogent words of Web
stcr, held the field of battle with a
grip which would not know defeat,
for that meant dissolution; the other,
fired with zeal for his state, for the
new nation, fought to repel invasion,
to preserve his home, to protect his
wife and little ones, and was ready to
die but not to surrender, for that
meant, as he believed, destruction.
And SO the battles were waged, with
desperate valor, with undaunted cour-
age, with measureless skill, with aw-
ful slaughter.
East of the Rocky Mountains there
were then twenty mine states with a
of about %, 900, 600. Eleven
of these states, with an area larger

HONOR FOR BLUE AND GRAY.
Dedication Of Antietam Monument to
Union and Confederate Soldiers.

Hagerstown, Md, May 81. - In the
presence of President Mckinley and
many members of his cabinet, Il score. or
more of United States senators and twice
us many members of the house, the gov
ernor of Maryland and prominent men
from all parts of the country there was
dedicated on Antietam battlefield Il mon
umcnt to the memory of the Federal and
Confederate dead who fell on the bloody
field. There were also present hundreds
Of veterans who fought for the "lost
cause and thousands who fought for the
Union. Side by side, shoulder to Shout
der, they stood, with uncovered heads
throughout the ceremony which marked
the conveyance of the monument from
the state of Maryland to the national
government.
The monument is of granite and bronze,
octagon, % feet in diameter at base and
30 feet high to the top of the statue.
Upon the base rest eight columns, repre-
senting the eight Maryland commands
which were present at the battle. united
in supporting the "rempe of Liberty"
which is of bronze and forms the canopy
The whole is surmounted by bronze
statue, representing Peace. with sword
sheathed and pointed downward. The
figure holds IL laurel wreath over the hilt
of the sword On four of the faces Of
the monument are bronze bas-relicfs, rep
rescnting scenes in the battle. On the
interior faces of the buttresscs are eight
bronze tablets, bearing in raised letters
the name and record during the war of
the eight organizations COMMUNICATED
by the monument. The monument cost
$4,000.
The original design was drawn by the
late Major Henry G. Graham of the
Fifth Maryland infantry and was after
ward modified by the Harrison Granite
company, who were the contractors for
the erection of the monument.
The commands thus honorcd are the
Second, Third. Fourth, Fifth and Pur-
nell Legion, regiments of infantry, AMI
Batteries A and r, First Maryland
Union artillery. and Brockenbrough' and
Dement'S batteries of Confederate artil-
lery.
The movement to erect the monument
grew out of Il desire of the Maryland
members of the Grand Army of the Re
public to honor the dead of Maryland
who fell in the battle. The Grand Army
AT first contemplated erecting the monu-
mcnt only to commemorate the Union
dead, but Norman c. Scott. state senator
from Washington county in 1898. was in
liucntial in having the appropriation in
clude the Confederate dead.
