President Roosevelt, mindful OF
the fact that the Confederate dead
In Arlington Heights were to be
honored with a memorial service
this year for the first time, sent
flowers to be placed on the mounds
of the sleeping heroes. Arlington

thought the ashes of 264 soldiers
who wore the gray, repose there.
The Confederate posts of Wash

on the graves, of their comrades In

was there a formal service In me-

Here the survivors of the conten-

deeds of those who fell fighting
each other, with not a single sign
In evidence to recall the bitterness
and carnage that filed the breasts
of noble men for four long years.
The passions of the conflict and

In both song and story. The

when the Confederates marched to

The healing of the scars OF war Is

A NERVY WOMAN

entered her room. One of the men
picked up a hat belonging to Mr..
Pickett and after trying 1t on, he
remarked 1t was just his fit. He
also secured Mr.. Pickett's gold
watch and a large medical book,
and after tuning out the gas light
they took their departure In very
cool manner. Mrs. Pickett, how
ever, exhibited remarkable nerve
by securing her gun and going out

Mrs. Charles D. Pickett, who
resides on Railroad Avenue opposite
the electric light plant, had very
unpleasant experience last night.
Mrs. Pickett retired about nine
O'Clock and an hour later two men
entered her home. lighted a gas jet
and proceeded to ransack the
house. One of the men stood over
her with a large knife and instruct.
ed her to keep quiet or he would
cut her id throat.
Mrs. Pickett was all alone, her
husband being at Littleton. In the
early part of the evening three
young men, who were tough look
Ing characters, were seen lettering
about the electric light plant. At
about s o'clock a strange man
called at the home of Mrs. Pickett
and requested something to eat,
and when informed that she had
nothing but bread and butter, with
an oath he informed her he did not
want that kind Of grub" It Is
the general opinion the object of
the mans visit at that time was to
ascertain whether or not Mrs.
Pickett was alone. There were
three In number, one OF which
stood guard outside, and entrance
to the house was through the front
door, The lock on the door was
broken and all that the robbers had
to contend with was a frail screen
door, which was fastened on the
inside. A nole was cut In the wire
and the door unlocked, which only
consumed a few moments.
Mrs. Pickett had become suspi-
cious of the characters, and had

A GOOD GAME
The Farmont Team Strengthened and the Fans

which met with practically the same
treatment Bero's had few minutes
before, and which brought Adam
son home after he had stolen second
Outcslt took third on passed ball,
and home on Saladins neat single.
That ended the run getting for
the home team. Several times
there seemed a chance for both
teams to score, but fast work IN the
field prevented 1t. One of the
features during the innings when
goose eggs were counted was a
neat double by Saladin and Outcalt'
A hot one found "SolIy's" hands on
the ground but In time for the ball
A quick throw to first completed
one of the neatest double plays yet
seen on the grounds.
In the eighth, the visitors got
men on both third and second, but
Collins waved his arm the second
time, and the hopes of the boys
from Fairmont perished.
In the ninth, however, they sue
ceeded Ia creating somewhat OF ex.
element by sending three men
over the home plate. Helm hit
safely. He took second on John

Johnson and McComb across the
plate, netting three runs for Fair

they did not seem to be anything

Death of Young Lady.

city and county of Miss Mary
Alberta, Eldest daughter of Mr.

gret to hear of her demise, which
occurred this morning at her home
In Middlebourne.
Miss Fletcher possessed charm.

self to all whom she met. She had
long been a patient sufferer Of that
dread disease, consumption, but
the christians hope was hers. A
short time before passing to the
Great Beyond, she expressed her
self as willing and ready to meet
her Master.

A fair, audience assembled yes
terday afternoon to see the second
game between the local team and
the Fairmont boys. The manage
ment of the latter team had secured
the batter from the Kindleburgers
at Wheeling, and those present slw
a better game of ball than they did
Wednesday. With the exception
of one or two innings, the visitors
played strong ball, and had 1t not
been for the second, the story
might have been different. 10
that inniug punching hits by Out
calts champions accompanied with
several bad plays by the boys from
the capital of Marion netted FIVE
runs, and practically ended the
game.
Collina was In the box and al
ways had the game well In hand.
| In addition to his fine pitching, he
had his batting eye with him, and
delighted his many admirers with
couple of hits when they counted.
Johnson and McCombs conssi-
tuted the new battery for the Fair
mont team, and had the support
at critical periods, been as good as
1t was during most of the game,
the result would have been differ
ent.
John(Shorty) Helm played fast
bail for the visiting boys, both In
the field and at the bat. Should
he continue to "put up" the sort
of ball he played today there Is no
question about his getting In fast
company before the season Is over.
The runs were all made on the
Slstersville side In the first and
second innings and on the part OF
the visitors In the ninth. They
made Garrison finish, but when
things looked a little blue both
Collins and his support settled
down to business and the game
soon terminated with another addi-
ton to the complete list ofvictories
for the home talent.
The run getting began In the
first inning Bero got first on clean
hit, second on an error, third on
Adamsous sacrifice and home on
Outcalt's sacrifice. The game that
the home favorites played at the
bat In that inning will win many a
hard game.
In the second inning, after Helm
| had made a sensational pickup OF
Bevins fast one between third and
short, Sweeney walked to first,
second on Collins hit, third on pas
sed ball and home on Bero's high
fly, which no one seemed to under
stand to whom 1t belonged to. Col
lins took second on the same passed
ball, on Bero's fly and home on
Admissions hit. The same fly left

SERVANT GIRLS FORM TRUST.
Housekeepers Talk Of Organizing for
Protection.

Cedar kalls, Feb. 27-The house
keepers of this city are greatly agi-
tated over the servant girl question.
They claim they are being made the
victims of trust which strikes home,
and that unless the housekeepers can
organize for self-protection the time
Is not far distant when the servant
girls and not the mistresses of the
house will rule. When girl is EN-.
ployed for general Homework there
are certain questions which are asked
the employer. The girls have certain
privileges which must be granted or
no contract is entered into. The rules
of governing the kitchen work are
laid down by the organization among
the kitchen girls and the housekeep-
ers are compelled to comply to the
regulations.
The scarcity of girls for Homework
make it obligatory for the employers
to knuckle to the demands and they
are obeying the mandates of the
kitchen maids union to the letter.
When girl comes to town who is not
a member of the organization she is
called upon by some member or
members of the union who lay down
the rules for her to follow. and in
case she refuses to comply she is os-
tracised by the union and finds en-.
trance to her class of society extreme.
ly difficult. Wages paid are up to the
standard and above those paid in
cities; and afternoons and evenings, in
the majority of cases, are taken.
Only the importation of servant girls
from other localities will relieve the
situation unless the housewives enter
into combine and agree to do their
own work.
