MONUMENT UNVEILED

Chicago, May 30.-Chicago today, for
saking usual avocations, devoted all its
energies to giving honor to its soldier
dead.
Services were held in every cemetery in
Cook county and the grave of every one
of the 5000 warriors buried therein was
decorated with a wreath and above all
unfurled the stars and stripes The day
oawned gloomy and chill with a threat OF
rain. but early the veterans associations
began to gather. The feature of the day
was the parade of the G. A. r. in which
100 grizzled veterans participated. With
these marched the G. a. r. Memorial as
sOciatiOn of Cook county, the state troops,
led by Gov. Yates and staff, the Illinois
naval militia, various civic organizations
and thousands of private citizens. Many
OF the veterans unable TO endure the two
mile march rode in carriages. The parade
was reviewed in front of the Art institute
by Gov. Yates and staff. Mayor Harrison
and regular army Otncers delegated TO
represent General Otis. who is absent

bowed to the will of the veterans of wars
in respect to sports. The time-honored
Chicago road race was forgotten. In its
stead was run the century bicycle contest

event excited little interest. The start in

Arbitration Fails to Prevent
Strike in Chicago.

Chicago, May so.-After arbitration
had failed to settle the difference be-
tween Chicago union machinists and
their employers. the long threatened
general strike in the machine trade of
Chicago and vicinity was ordered last
night by the executive board of the local
lodge Of the machinists' union. The
total break down of the attempts at ar
birration came after a FIVE hours session
between the joint arbitration board of
the union and the manufacturers as
sociatiOn. The issue up for arbitration
was the question Of fixing a wage scale
per hour for the new nine hour day in
augurated May 20, in place Of the ten
hour day then abrogated- Efforts at ell
fecting a compromise We're made by
both sides, but to no purpose and the
strike order followed. The walkOut will
affect over 1000 men

CHICAGO STRIKERS
nFAae Use Of the Day in Preparing For
the Tie Up.

Chicago, May 30-.If today were not
a holiday the machinists' strike would
be in full blast before the manufac-
turers had eaten their morning meal,
said Business Agent Roderick of dis
trict No. OF the International Associa-
ton of Machinists- 1t is regarded as
an advantage by the union men that
they have a holiday preceding the
strike which was ordered here yester-
day, as all the workmen can be rounded
up in the interval Of one day. that the
tie-up of the local machine plants will
be made practically complete tonor-
row morning.
According to IL calculations of the
union strike leader. Roderick. about 3
GOO machinists will be involved at the
start in the general wallxout. This is
only half the number of union ma
chinists in Chicago and vicinity. 1t is
claimed by Roderick and others of the
unions executive board that the rea-
son that the other 1900 viii not be

wU's TRIBUTE TO GRANT.
Chinese Minister Speaks at the Tomb
of the Dead General


New York, May 30.-At the Memorial
day exercises at the tomb of General
Grant Minister WI spoke as follows:
Minister Wu graphically described
the career of General Grant as citizen,
soldier and statesman, his remarks
showing q close study of his subject.
Nothing shows more clearly" he said,
the high estimation in which Grant
was held by the world at large than
siasm with which he was greeted when
he made his famous tour around the
world. Princes, pOtentateS and the
common people alike We'd with one an
other in paying him the homage due to
great rulers. Cities opened their gates
to welcome him al his approach. His
progress from country to country was
like a triumphal procession. All this
was a significant tribute to his char
acter and his fame. It must be remem-
bered that he was at this time only
private citizen, but everybody recog-
nized the greatness inherent in the man.
In no country I dare say, did he re-
ceive q warmer welcome than in the
cid empire of China The career of
Grant is just such as is calculated to
fire the imagination of the Chinese.
Statesmen and generals do not come
from an exclusive stock is one of our
favorite sayings We Chinese have great
admiration for men who have risen by
their talents from humble beginnings
to be acknowledged as great leaders of
people Such was Grant.
Minister Wu then alluded to the
friendship between General Grant and
Ii Hung Chang, and said:
After Grants death Earl Ii gave in
structions to the Chinese legation at
Washington to bring every year. as is
done this day, an offering of flowers to
the generals tomb on Memorial day, as
a token Of his enduring friendship

KING WANTS TO SEE THEM.
Invitation Extended to N. Y.Dhamber
of Commerce delegates

New York, May 30.-A dispatch to the
World from London says:
King Edward has expressed through
Ambassador Choate a wish to receive
the delegates of the New York chamber
of commerce before they separate after
next weeks festivities.
This was not contemplated in the
programme and as it comes from the
king entirely on his own initiative it is
keenly appreciated by the delegates,
because of the kindly feeling toward
Americans it indicates. Kenric B.
Murray, the secretary of the London
chamber of comm cree, who has in his
hands all the arrangements for enter
tanning the New York delegates. hopes
to fix next Friday or Saturday for the
royal reception, which probably will be
held in Marlborough house.

ing about my return bet. Well, he
lost $3.50 to me, all because he didn't

Never refuse a negro his rakeoff. You

"There were several minor Incl.
dents in the game, showing that its
superstitions should be regarded.
For instance, one of the players
got up and walked around his chair
three times-but he did it too late.
He waited till his hand was dealt.
He should have done it before it was
dealt, then he would have had better
chance. Then there is another trick
which nearly always changes a run OF
bad luck. If you have been picking
up your cards in a game with your
left hand, as some do, change the
thing little and pick them up with
your right hand. And an infallible
piece of good luck was to have Simon
smile at me while the cards were be.
ing dealt. l never lost then, and
would bet until raised the roof of
the house."

Try Flat Pipes.

If water pipes are slightly fiattened
they will never burst in frosty weather
When the water freezes it expands,
and so the pipes are pressed out TO
their original shape, but do not split.
Only few minutes is required to
flatten the pipes with q hammer just
where they are most exposed, and it
saves much expense and trouble.
To prevent pipes freezing, wrap
them with straw; then put on a layer
OF unslacked lime, and cover again
with straw. The gradual shaking of
the lime by the moisture of the at
mosphere gives sufficient heat to pre-
vent water pipes freezing during a
whole winter.
