Memorial Day Of the w. r. c.


With memories fresh as the tender
blade
That springs DER each lowly grave
Thy mothers and sisters, aye, dearer
From the past one hour would crave:
One hour, to recall the vanished years
When household words were thy name,
AS with pride we listened to other lips,
Who spoke Of a world wide fame.
We dream of the long and wearisome
days
The awesome heart-sick hours
When tidings of battle filled the air
And carnage DER it lowered:
How the drum and fife made clamorous
And our flag. a beacon light,
Streamed through the streets one pat
riot blaze
A glorious beautiful sight.
We think Of the missives, laid in our
hands.
That told OF the loved and lost;
Hearts throb again. with q dull, dead
pain.
Remembering still their fearful cost;
Distinctly We hear the wild peal Of
bells.
Cannons boom, and victors shout,
AS they rang on the air Of Sixty four,
Speaking treason's ruin and rout.
And we hold our breath as the phantom
forms
OF million blue coat men,
Arise from the sea OF a misty past,
And speak Of the now, and then
The then, with its doubling fear and its
woe,
Its parapharnalia of war
The now. with restfulness of peace,
Prosperity near and far.
Remembering this, we will lay aside
In memory's chamber lone
The fireside picture, whose vacant
chair,
Lapsing time has sadder shown;
We will only think of nations need,
And a country's proud reward,
That reason hath never married
it's woe,

One FLAG

One flag today in joyous peace,
Waves DER the Nations dead,
And Blue and Gray sleep under it,
Upon a common bed
And love has come, with tender heart,
And Spring times sweetest breath,
To pour her incense on the graves
OF those who lie in death.
The grass grows green above their dust
Alike the Blue and Gray,
And tears are shed for those who fell
In freedoms cause or way
To those who bore the Stars and
Stripes
The Nation bows today:
But those who bore the other flag
1t hath not turned away
And sure, the bond can ne'er be broke
That binds the Blue and Gray;
And henceforth now, forever more,
They'll one command obey.
The Nations voice. Supreme at last,
Shall be bond of love
And all shall march together now,
One flag alone above.
And peace shall wave her magic wand
Ger all the smiling land,
And plenty's horn upturned in grace,
Shall fill each waiting hand
The above poem was written by p. S.
Kennedy. father of Mrs. C. A. Fores-
man and Miss Kennedy of this city.
1t was written as a song and was sung
in the public schools in Charlottesville
on Decoration day, 1891.

Yesterday went to the theater to see
THE Admirable Crichton," and ! was
struck a. never have been before
with the miserable hampering Of mod
ern garments for women. such as are
considered necessary for the young
ladies' Of the hour. The first act and
the last show us the conventional even
ing dress Of young ladies, with the long
skirts and low bodices. The skirts
hamper every movement and bring
them to the most rigid conventionality.
which means unnaturalness. The
waists - well, there is little to say
about them, but the shoulder straps
seemed to hold the arms as in a wise.
All the wearers could do was to Ian
guidly walk around, dragging their
trains, and loll and finally fall asleep
IN easy chairs and incidentally bicker,
as loving sisters sometimes do.
During the other two acts these same
girls are on desert island, ship
wrecked and dressed in such rags and
tags as they saved from the wreck
Then, when these had literally worn
out, they had somehow managed to
weave some coarse stuff, and with this
and skins they made suits something
like a mans hunting costume when he
must be his own tailor. Needless to
say they were becoming. But their be-
comingness Is not why they are men,

present sighed for the delightful free

The Germans are making great ef.
forts toward reform in such things,
but they have reached only the stage
where corsets are discarded. Many Of
our sensible women also have reached
that point.

At P|TTSBURG
THEATRE BECAUSE
OF FIRE
Scores Of Women Faint
ed.
PANDEMONIUM REIGNED

Pittsburg. Pa, Feb ga panic en-
sued during the fourth act of In Old
Kentucky" at the Bijou theatre to-
might Both balconies were crowded
A score of women tainted. while doz-
ems rushed for the fire exits and lost
their hats and wraps. Men trampled
over each other leaving overcoats and
hats behind The fire department was
called. The panic was caused by the
falling of some plaster from old library
hall which overhangs the gallery Of
the theatre The plaster did not fall
through to the Biiou theatre, but made
a tremendous noise. The boys In the
upper gallery made mad rush for the
exits and trampled over each other.
George Deyo Otis Turner. Frank
Russell and .essie Barriscale were on
the stage. Turner walked to the foot
lights and raised his hands and shouted
that it was only couple of boys in the
gallery fighting. and there was no dan
ger. He kept on shouting for the peo-
pie to sit down. The people in the
balcony and gallery did not listen but
climbed over the chair backs and
fought each other to get out. Some
one pulled the fire alarm and the en-
gines were around in twinl<ling. The
changing of the bells and the smell of
burning wood led the people inside to
believe fire existed. People fell In
the aisles and were trampld on. One
man shouted '"Get out in the aisles
and stop them" The moment he got
in the parquet the men and women
behaved admirably. They sat in their
seats. but several women dropped un-
conscious and others made no effort to
get out The actors, amid all the tu-
mutt. remained on the stage and at
tempted to continue the play. For
five minutes pandemonium reigned,
but the play was finished. The gal
lery was closed after the rush began
and the people were not allowed to go
back into the house.
About twenty women are said to
have been carried out unconscious.
The management said that only five
women tainted and were carried out.
1Aree of them were in the balcony and
two in the parquette. 1t was noticed
by those inside the house that the men
paid no heed to women and children
but rushed to save their own lives.
To keep the people from getting
alarmed some one began shouting "a
fight" This was interpreted by some
as meaning "a fire." The fire exits
were promptly opened by the manage
ment as the ushers did not know but a
fire existed. The house is well sup
piled with escapes and the firemen kept
the iron ladders cleared by pushing
people aside as they landed on the
ground The gallery was filled with
rewsboys. The balcony contained a
fair sprinkling of women and children

THE HAGUE
DECISION IN VENEZUELA
MATTER
is VERY SATISFACTORY
But Does Not Suit in All
Respects.

Washington. Feb. ga prominent
official of the state department when
shown the dispatch relative to the de-
cision of The Hague tribunal regard
ing the claims of Venezuela stated that
while the department regretted exceed
ingly the precedent which the august
tribunal had made in this case. there
was nothing for the United States to
do but to accept the result phiosophi-
cally as binding international law. The
mere question of time. when the I'm
tied States shall receive from VeneZ-
uela the amount of the awards in our
favor was the smallest consideration.
What the government dislikes was to
admit the principle that by a mere
show of naval force creditor nation
can secure precedence in the payment
of debt over another nation which does
net exercise such force.
II is regarded as premium on yio-
lenCe and as tending TO discourage ma
tions which are disposed to settle their
claims by the peaceful methods of dip
lomaCy.
The Venezuelan government, while
the principal party nominally to the
proceeding before The Hague tribunal,
was really rather indifferent as to
which power should be paid first, rec
ognizing the fact that they must all be
paid in some order. so that govern
ment has been Loyalty carrying out the
undertaking reached in the protocols
which terminated the allies interven-
ton, to set apart thirty per cent of the
customs receipts at La Guayra and
Puerto Cabello month by month. and
the money has been placed in bank
awaiting this decision The fund ac-
cumuiated up to date will be paid over
Ca England, Germany and Italy, as
well MS 30 per cent OF subsequent GUS
toms collections at the ports named,
until the claims of these powers shall
be satisfied in full. This will probably
take about two years and after that
he claims of the non-allied or peace
powers will be taken up and paid pro-
rata.

1t Is asserted that Mr.. Mitchells de-

workers an effort will be put forth to
break up the organization in this re-
gion, and let 1t confine itself to its
original limit in the soft coal fields.
1t is stated that President Mitchell for
sees the imminent clash and desires to
retire before II comes, as he feels he
has led the miners faithfully and well
through many battles and has done his
duty toward them.
