OF ANCIENT ORIGIN.
Decorsfia9 the Graves Of Soldiers Was
Psctioed Ages Ago.

HE custom OF placing flowers ON the
graves Of soldiers is Of very great an
tiaulty One ancient writer men
t,ons the fact that on the birthday OF Alex
ander the Great certain Greeks in Alexan-
dra were accustomed to visit his mauso-
ieum and place flowers on the threshold.
The custom of planting flowers on graves
is OF an antiquity almost as great. and has
been practiced in all parts OF Europe for
many centuries. The practice being once
established, local application Of it in par
ticuiar cases was easy and natural. During
the civil war III this country the women
OF both north and south instituted Gus
tom OF going regularly on a certain day,
generally about the Is. OF May, to the cem-
eterics with bouquets for the graves OF the
soldiers who had been killed IN battle. The
intense devotion of the southern women
to the lost cause led them to continue this
practice after the war had been ended,
and little -by little it became universal in
this country In 1860 Gen. John A. Logan.
then commander in chief OF the Grand Army
OF the Republic. announced May ~ as the
day on which the graves OF soldiers should
be decorated. There Is, however. con-
troversy about the fact OF the custom origi-
mating in particular locality. some claiming
that it sprang mp spontaneously m almost
every section Of the country at once. and.
considering the universally of the prac-
tne of planting flowers on graves, there
is no reason to believe that the custom,
as claimed by some. originated IN or was
peculiar to the south, even during the early
days OF the war.

OUR decades have passed since the
cry of war was raised, and men hur-
ried forward to prove the issues to
which their faith was joined. Greater zeal
no man can show than that he offer HIM
self as sacrifice for truth and country.
In more than . thousand battles proof
was made Of hcroism, and in all of these
life was counted as but little in compari-
son with the blessing Of union pledged to
liberty of all Blood flowed freely as water
after great rains Lives ebbed out slowly or
went out quickly after each volley of shot.
Legions were wounded sorely, only to die
later OF the shock, or to linger on to this
day afflicted by the burden OF the leaden
missiles.
So dear and 20 priceless the blessing Of
a country, one and indivisible. More than
two millions of soldiers were enlisted during
the civil war on the side Of the union, and
hundreds of thousands Of those died in
the land Of the cypress and the pine. Their
blood has been balm to the healing Of re-
volt and dissension.
In this, the fortieth year since the first
guns were fired on Sumter, and in the first
year Of new century, more than one mil
lion survivors remain of the great hosts

An Industrial Of Unique Strength.

The organization OF the Allis. Chal.
merB company, n of the latest indus

circumstances which make II in some
particulars unique in the business
world. The company starts with a
cash capital OF $40, 900, 900, of which
sum 81, SOC, 0oU will be expended In the
erection OF an additional plant TO
.ouble the present capacity of the Al
lis works. The valuation of the sew
eral plants included In the consolida'
ton, taking into account real estate,
buildings, machinery, tools, patterns,
drawings and patents, together with
the cost Of organizing and getting into
full operation, is placed by Julian
Kennedy, an expert engineer who eN'
amined the properties, at 1885, 900.
In this estimate no allowance whatey-
er IL made for good will. The total
present value OF tangible property,
therefore, Ii 1888 900, while the to-
tai issue of preferred stock against
this property is only SIG $3.50, 900. All
of this stock, II Is stated, IL issued for
cash at par. or In lieu of cash, for the
plants at less than their valuation as.
stated above. OF the total issue there
will be more than 81 per cent in cash
and the balance will be In property
that produces much more than the
cumulative dividend 10 which the pre-
ferred stock is entitled. The com
