To Eat belgian Hare.

The Tri-City Belgian Hare associa-
ton is planning a Belgian hare ban
quet, to take place at Turner hall in
Davenport next Wednesday evening,
and of which, of course, the hare will
be the piece de resistance for most of
the meat courses The members of
the club and few newspaper folks
who have indicated a disbelief that
the hare was good to eat are to make
up the gathering, and the practical
demonstration of the claims of the
hare as a food is expected to prove it
to be toothsome and savory.

MEMORIAL DAY PLANS.
Grand Army Men TO Decorate Graves
and Statues.

Not only the graves of those who have
given their lives for the flag but the
statues and monuments of tllustrious
Americans will be the recipients of floral
tributes on Memorial Day. The Commit
tee on Decoration of the Department of
the Potomac, G. A. R, is making extern
sive preparations for the decoration of
statues in the various parks and circles
Of the city. B. F. Chase is chairman of
the committee. In previous years it has
been the custom to drape the statues with
flags borrowed from the War Department.
This year that custom will be abandoned
and in place of the striped folds of the
national ensign, the statues will be orna-
mented with wreaths and garlands of
flowers.
For the decoration of the graves of
the thousands of soldiers who lie buried
in the cemeteries about Washington the
Grand Army of the Republic is sparing
neither time nor expense. At Arlington
every grave will be decorated with flag
and flowers. In the other cemeteries the
decoration will be made by various SUBJ
committees appointed for that purpose.
Capt Israel w. Stone, Commander of
the Department OF the Potomac, has is
sued orders for Memorial Day as follows:
The 30th of May having been estab-
lished a Memorial Day and in many
States, as we'll as in this department, a
legal holiday, in order that the people
mo-
walton of the day, all are morally bound
to do so. Services are held in all the
cemeteries in and about Washington
where ex-soldiers and sailors lie buried
and it is particularly reprehensible and
unbecoming for any cX-soldier TO use the
time set aside for this special memorial
purpose for recreation Of any kind or in
any direction.
"Thirty-three years ago the beautiful
ceremony of strewiug fragrant flowers
and holding solemn service over the
graves Of our departed comrades was first
ordered by that peerless general, John A
Logan, then COmmander-in-Chi of the
Grand Army of the Republic The rules
and regulations of our order now require

L. $. Brown Discusses tIie Trip Over
the Southern Railway.

/. S Brown, general agent Of the South
Crn hallway. who had charge Of the Presi-
don't train between Washington and

Tie left the Presidential party when the
train was switched to the tracks of the
Southern Pacific for its Western journey
at the Crescent City.
THE trip from here to New Orleans, 5"
said MIR. Brown yesterday, was accom-
plshed on schedule time without single
hitch. The immunity from possible delay
or accident was marvellous. All the party
were in the best of spirits and health
when l left them and had enjoyed that
much of the trip immensely. The enthu-
siasm " wherever we stopped was immense.
Perhaps nowhere was ii so marked as at
Nicksburg. When the Presidential party
left the train and went to the point where
the ceremonies were to be held they pass
ed beneath a huge arch of cotton bales
which lowered high above the street.
I'VE received a day or so ago letter
from George B. Cortelyou, Secretary to
the President, thanking the company's
officials for the courtesies and attentions
extended the party during the time the
train traverSed the tracks of the South

Colonel Brown is a native of Georgia.
He was born in Covington of the Cracker
State and started in business as a clerk
in an express office at Opelika. Ala. He
later became connected with the Norfolk
and Western and later with the Georgia
Pacific and went to the Southern about
twenty years ago. He has been connected
with that road ever since and has risen
steadily through the ranks until he reach

incredibly short space of time the fire
spread to the outbuildings and chicken
houses With the assistance of neighbors
the farm hands formed a bucket line from

made to check the flames. The tower
was soon ablaze, but the efforts Of the

The discrepancy between the figures
for Charles County and those allowed
by the Census Office are believed to be
due to & certain extent to a different
construction as to what constitutes
residence for the purpose Of enumera-
ton within the meaning Of the Census
act The Census law does not clearly
define what is meant by abode" or
"habitants," both Of which occur in the
section relating TO the duties Of emu
merators.
The enumerators IN Charles County
evidently proceeded on the theory that
persons having a constructive resi-
dence in the county entitled them to
enumeration. This Interpretation OF the
law the Office could not agree to; neith-
er could it agree that officehoIders, re-
gardless CT the time they had been alb
sent from the county should be emu
merated. In some instances the emu
merators took the ground that unmar-
ried persons. in the case Of men, either
on the registration lists or entitled to
be there and in the case OF women re-
turning, from time 10 time, to their
families and claiming their homes in
the county, should have their names
placed on the schedules. The officials
Of the Census Office took the view that
they should have been enumerated at
the place they slept on June 1. 1900.
There seems to be some difference Of
opinion concerning the meaning Of the
Census act. The law viii undoubtedly
