Outraging Memorial Day.

The veterans and those who appreciate
what they did from 1861 to 1865 are
indignant over the way Memorial day
has come to be regarded by a large elc'
ment Of the American people. Instead
of being looked upon as an occasion for
paying respect to the departed American
soldier who has served honorably IN the
field it is turned into a holiday to be
passed frivolously and without the slight
est regard for the sacred nature of an
anniversary dedicated to high aims and
lofty patriotism. Each succeeding ami
yersary is more and more a joyous occa~
sion and less and less an object lesson
OF gratitude to those who so nobly serv-
ed the nation in the hour Of trial.
When first instituted there was no
thought of levity in connection with its
observance. The parade moved through
streets to the strains of the funeral
march, the beating Of the muftled drum,
the shrouding of the flag with Grape, the
soldiers with arms reversed. The re-
spectful attention Of the multitude cor
responded to the somber professional.
In the cemeteries crowds assembled for
the exercises and to see the floral trib-
utes on the mounds Of the heroes who
AAdN duS W eIeO kue uuu1 run CulA III lAc
churches congregations listened to i'd
dresses in keeping with the solemnity Of
the day.
That was generation ago. A great
change has come over those who have
come upon the stage Of action since. The
present generation does not appreciate
the sacrifices the soldiers made in the
long drawn-out war Of the COS. such as
their forbears well knew, or they would
never allow the day to degenerate into
season of merrymaking, with contests
on land and water by day, and dances
by night, upsetting completely the mean
ing Of the anniversary. The Dissertation
has come to such a pass that unless a
change comes over the public mind it
vii! be necessary to abolish Memorial
day.
The flowers can be strevn just as we'll
without ceremonial and interruption to
business and have equal honor and equal
meaning for our sleeping heroes as if a
day were set apart for this distinction.
In this way the mockery and hcartless-
ness which now discredit Memorial day
will cease to disgrace it before the world.

St. LUCia'S SuInhur Mountain.

The Island Of st. Lucia, not far from
Martinique, has volcano, until lately
supposed to be extinct, that is known
as the Sulphur Mountain. It has an ele-
walton of 1000 feet above sea level,
while the crater covers about four acres
Of surface. The sides Of this volcano
are barren Of trees and herbs, and COW
cred by thick deposits of sulphur.
Formerly it belonged to France, and
Louis XIV. built, at great expense, an
immense sanitarium around she boiling
springs on its northern slope, the ruins
Of which are still standing. It was at
the time believed that the waters had
certain curative and medicinal quail
ties, but afterward this was found to
be untrue, and the sanitarlum remained
untenanted, and a monument to mis-
placed and mistaken Judgment

power that he ought to, if he was to re-

 ting StiII Favors Latter.

San Francisco. July 21.-A brisk run through Golden Gate park to the ocean beach and spirited plunge and rub- down at the terminal training quarters filled in a busy morning for Robert Fitzsimmons to-day. The Cornishman ran eleven miles with his trainers, tir- ing them all and showing himself to be in splendid condition.
 '"The stories as to my leg muscles being bound," said Fitzsimmons to- day, "are absurd. I never felt better and stronger than now and shall win the ight.''
 Fitzsimmons retired early and will confine himself tomorrow to even lighter exercises.
 Jeffries spent the day practically in idleness, exercising just enough to hold his own. q will win the fight before 1t has run it's length" said he to press representatives.
 Since the arrival of Fitzsimnnons yes- terday afternoon che betting has been stimulated but the champion remains the favorite at 10 to 4 12 with Fitzsim-# mons seemingly unable to cut down the odds. Much money, however, is being posted.

CIRCUS EMPLOYE SHOT.
A Murder at the FOrepaugh and Sells
 Brothers Shows at Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 21.-Lee Bruce, a teamster employed by Forepaugh & Sells Brothers, was shot this afternoon just as the afternoon crowd was leav- ing the circus tent. Dennis Bowen, a wachman, is under arrest, charged with having fired the fatal shot. Bowen narrowly escaped being lynched by the angry circus attendants who witnessed the shooting.
 It is said that Bowen intended the shot for J. K Shumate, superintendent of horses, who had reprimanded him a short time before. Three shots were fired two of them going close to Shu- mate and the third striking Bruce in the head, killing him instantly. Two local detectives seized Bowen, but he was torn away from them by the angry circus men. One of the crowd seized a rope and tied it aronud Bowen's neck. The detectives were reinforced by half a dozen policemen and they succeeded in getting Bowen awy from the crowd, but not until he had been terribly beaten and kicked. His face was q mass of bruises and he was bleeding and almost unconscious. The shooting almost caused a panic among the crowd leaving the big ten, but no one was in jured.

Letter of the Senator Couched in Post- tive Terms Evidently Based Upon n Newspaper Article Accompanying il Charging That He Had Sold Himself for the Prospect of Getting Such am Office.
Office.

Oyster Bay, July 21.-President Roosevelt is in receipt of letter from Senator John McLaurin, of South Caro- lima, declining the proffered appoint ment to the vacancy on the bench of the United States court of claims. The president, it can be said, much regrets Senator McLaurin's decision, as he be- lieves that MT. McLaurins senatorial experience and his career as attorney general of South Carolina would have rendered him particularly good addi- ton to the court of claims.
 The president now is uncertain what he will do about Senator McLaurin. It is understood that he is anxious to ap- point him to some position in recogni- tion of what the president regards as his services to the country and his demonstrated ability in in public life. Senator McLaurin's letter is couched in the most positive terms, and evidently was based in particular upon news paper article which accompanied the letter. The article stated that the sen- ator had sold himself for the prospect of getting such an office as that offered to him. It can be said, however, that the president regards such type of &C., cusation as beneath notice, and sincere ly regrets that Senator McLaurin should have deemed it necessary to pay any attention to it.
 Senator McLaurin evidently has changed his mind about accepting the proffered appointment since he was in Oyster Bay on July il. At that time he indicated his readiness to accept the va- cancy of the court of claims, and the only question then was when he should resign from the senate.

 New York, July 21.-For the first time this season August Belnlont's crack slUop yacht Mineola was beaten by J.

 The course which was laid for this event by the LarchmOnt regatta com mittee was a six mile beat, a six mile run and three mile reach, sailed twice over and in a breeze that held steady and fairly strong while they covered twenty-six miles of the course. On ev- cry point of sailing except the reach the Yankee outsailed her rival and finally defeated her by ten minutes for ty-four seconds.
 F. F. Brewsters schooner the El- nina, had a close contest with her old rivals, the Muriel and the Quissetta, over the thirty mile course. She won from the Muriel by one minute twenty seconds and from the Quissetta by twenty-six minutes eight seconds.
 In the fOrty-three foot class Clifford Broham's sloop the Dorwina defeated the effort by one minute twenty-one seconds, and J. Bere Kings the Spasm beat the Possum by forty-six seconds.

AN AIR LINE.
One Made Possible from Great lakes to
 South Atlantic Coast.


 Baltimore, July 21.-An air line from the great lakes to the south Atlantic Seaboard is made possible by deal which has been practically consumnat- ed by the Union Trust company of this city.
