Hark' Was that a glad cry from the

Little Tim Sullivan. who is a big Alderman
and the leader Of his Assembly district and
the nephew and executive officer for Big
Tim Sullivan may be the Tammany
nominee for President OF Manhattan
borough The Office carries as much
direct patronage as that OF Mayor. and
1t is said to be the purpose OF Big Tim
to put Little Tim in Jake Cantor's chair.
Little Tim has learned much in the Board
OF Aldermen. Like the Big Fellow. he is
temperate in his habits and he is popular in
Tammany. His campaign for the nomina-
ton will be based on the theory: You
can't beat Sullivan in Manhattan Big
Tim promises to make the theory extremely
practical in its application
Little Tim Is shrewd and self-confident,
and the presence Of Mayors and such does
not rattle him. When a few months ago
Little Tim put his name in an autograph
album under that Of Mayor Lows he drew

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. May 4.-Mrs. James L.
Blair, president Of the Worlds Fair Board
of Lady Managers. was greeted with gasps
Of surprise when she unexpectedly brought
her husband. the general counsel for the
Exposition Company, into an executive
session Of her board.
When the members recovered from the
shock, one Of them slipped from the room
and summoned Worlds Fair Federal Com
missioners John NJ. Thurston and William
Lindsay, who replied to Mr.. Blair. AZ a
result the latters advice was neglected and
he left the meeting.
The subject under discussion was the
adoption Of a new set Of rules for the ladies
board. Mrs. Blair opposed the new rules,
preferring the old ones, but although her
husband supported her she was defeated.
The old rules were adopted on Nov. 10
last in New York, but the Federal COM
mission never approved them and advised
further consideration by the ladies'.

by the ladies April 20. and then 1t was that
General Counsel Blair appeared. He said
the old rules were authoritative and did
not have to be approved by the Federal
commission.
Mr.. Thurston, who replied. said tho rules
we're not binding because the Federal COM
mission had not approved them, and sug-
gested further that when the ladies needed
legal counsel the Federal commission would
be glad to furnish 1t.
As result new rules were adopted which
decrease the power Of the president, Mrs.
Blair. Hereafter the entire board will
have q voice in choosing the executive
committee. The clause Of the old rules
giving the president power to name St.
Louis ladies on the entertainment COM
mittee was also changed
Mrs. James L. Blair, president OF the
board OF lady managers. declined this
morning to discuss the occurrences at the
meeting. preferrtng to wait until the mat
ter is finally settled.

ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL DAY.
Rufus p. Parrish Of kewanee Urged
Commemoration of the Dead

Rufus p. Parrish Of kewanee Urged
Commemoration of the Dead.
Memorial day originated with man
who was recently followed to the
grave at Kewanee, ILL.,, by one of the
largest throngs of old soldiers that
ever attended funeral in town of
like size.
The name of this man was Rufus P.
Parrish and it Is admitted that let
ter he wrote to Senator John A. Logan
was chiefly instrumental in the action
of congress in establishing day on
which throughout the nation graves Of
the union dead should be strewn with
flowers and their brave acts commem-
Grated.
1t is a matter of history that the
custom of decorating graves of SOL
diers was commenced in Kewanee in
1863, five years before Senator Logan
secured the action of congress ap-
pointing a memorial day. 1t is known
that Mr.. Parrish, who had always
taken the greatest interest in this OBJ
servance, wrote an urgent letter to
Senator Logan, urging him to take in
to serious consideration legislation
that would set aside day on which
all could join in memorial services.
Aside from the interest that Mr.. Par
IRISH took in such patriotic movements
he had a very interesting history. His
grandfather on his mothers side car
ried flint-lock musket in the revolu-
tionary war, and the father of his faith
err was a recruiting officer in the war
of 1912. He was one of fifteen men to
organize the first Y. M. c. A. in the
United States. During the war OF the
rebellion and before he was an out
spoken abolitionist and figured promi-
nently in underground railroad work
by which slaves escaped to Canada.
He was in the forefront of nearly ev-
cry movement of enlightenment of the
community serving to foster libraries
and lectures.
Mr.. Parrish was born in New Hamp-
shire about eighty-seven years ago and
came to Illinois in April, 1855. He is
survived by his faithful wife, with
whom he dwelt in wedlock for the I'M
usual term of sixty-four years.
