parade was held. The usual Memorial
looked for a time as if it was going to
put in its annual appearance.
For the first time since it's organza-

appear in the parade. There seemed to
be a general sentiment among the
guardsmen against parading. Il
The veterans had parade OF their
own, however, which provoked plaudits
along the entire line of march. 1t was
headed by Mounted Officers Burke and
Perry, and following them came about

On account of the beautiful weather
which prevailed yesterday morning, a
large number of people gathered at the
several cemeteries to witness the SER
vices conducted in connection with the
decorating of the graves of the soldier
dead. In each instance the G. A. r.
member in charge conducted the regu-
lar ritualistic service prescribed by the
national organization, and read Lin
coins Gettysburg Grafton, justly con-
sidered to be one Of the finest speeches
ever made. Firing squads from the

Smith r. Mott, past commander of Post

Old Worlds and New Ones.

We must look to the solar system
for examples of stars in the last stage
of development. Each Of the planets
may in fact be regarded as an object
of this kind. The bare and rocky sur.
face of the moon affords desolate pic
ture of what may result from this
long-continued process OF condensa-
tion. The volcanic region which Is
shown to excellent advantage In q
photograph recently taken with the
Yerkes telescope. gives no evidence Of
the existence of life; in fact, the spec
troscope indicates that If there Is any
air on the moon it Is much to rare to
support life as we know 1t.
Fortunately, the moon is not the
only example of worn out star. The
earth, which probably has many coun.
terparts in the universe. is another
example of less desolate kind. Here
through the process Of condensation
which is the chief cause Of celestial
phenomena has ceased, the problem Of
evolution has not ended. In fact.
through the cosmical problems which
we have considered in their barest
elements will not be completely solved
for centuries, it may be truly said that
the questions raised by the countless
living organisms in single drop Of
ditch water are still more complex.
and will require still longer time for
their solution.-Popular Science

STORY OF BUTcHERY.
Said to Have Been Praetleed by Aus
tralian Soldiers In South Africa.


London, April 8.-The Morning
Leader publishes the alleged story Of
the crimes which led to the court
martial and execution Of two Aus
trallan officers in South :.frica, which
Is Just now exciting keen Indignation in
Australia.
The Morning Leader asserts that
several officers Of this particular IT.
regular corps shot atives like rabbits,
and that they are even suspected Of
numbering men Of their own command
against whom they had lrudges. The
incident which led 10, their court
martial was the cold bIo0ded "eX-
ecution' by those officers Of 10 Beers
who were jOurneying to Petersburg
with the object Of surren'lerlng. 1t
was supposed these Beers had 100000
with them. Actuated by, cnpidity. the
Australians stopped. the Beers. tried
them by mock court martial and Or
dered all to be shot. This was done by
a squadron Of the soldiers fter solue
of the nOn-cOmmissioned officers had re-
fused to carry out the death sentence.
The officers then ransackcd the BOer
wagons and were dsgnsted upon find
ing that the 100000 was n the Trans
vaal paper money.
Continuing, The Morning Leader
says u German missionary few n lies
distant from the scene VI he "cxecu-
ton" heard of the affair. Lieutenant
Hancock, one of the Australians con-
cerned, fearing he would divulge his
information. shot the missionary dead.
This shooting eventually led to COM
plaint by the German consul to Lord
Kitchener, who proceeded to court
martial the Australians.
