Mr.. Enquist, of Manchester, who
for years has held the position oil
section foreman, died Saturday last
of typhoid fever,
AT Iroquois last Thursday the
accidental discharge of a shotgun
caused the almost instant death Of
Peter Mead, aged Is years. The un
fortunate boy and a companion were
in the White residence; the com
panion, Jesse Fulton, opened the
breech of his shotgun and closed
it. which latter discharged a load of
shot which entered Mead's left side
just below the heart. The accident
happened at about 200 p. m. An
inquest was held Friday and the
coroner's jury returned a verdict of
death as the result of gunshot
from a gun accidentally discharged
in he hands of Jesse Fulton. All
evidence and circumstances point
toward the accidental discharge of
the gun, but how foolish to allow guns
in the hands of boys at that age un.
less they have been trained In the
use of firearms. That they lacked
such training is evidenced by the
fact that the gun was loaded in the
house and that there could at that
time there could have been no use
for a loaded gun A person who
uses a gun properly will at no time
point it in the direction of fellow
being, unless it is in the defense of
himself or family-it is always the
gun that isn't loaded" or cant go
off" that does the mischief. Prob
ably young Fulton was as careful
as the majority of boys, and such
being the case he is entitled to the
sympathy Of all.

WAR IN THE ORIENT.

Russian Councils Hope Of Improvement Russian Pros.
pecs-A Number OF Minor Affairs.
Divided Councils at st. Petersburg.
~~. ~vsH

The reports indicate a very hot disagree
ment in the Russian Councils over the sit
uation at Port Arthur, and also reveal an
utter lack of comprehensive oversight and
planning. The naval men and the advocates
of the Russian Pacific establishment are
apparently beside themselves with appre-
hension as to the fate of Port Arthur,
which when lost deprives Russia Of her
long ice-free port and her. COM
manding position with regard to China.
Also, if they send the Baltic feet, which
they are still talking of doing, it will have
no place to go. 1t will be at sea, and at
the mercy of the Japanese feet. OF course,
no reasonable man expects that the Baltic
fleet will ever be sent to the East, or could
get there if it were sent, but the naval
people talk about it all the time. There
has been much assertion about sending down
relieving column, some days 1000 men,
some days 10000. Columns of this strength
would be only big enough to invite defeat,
since the japanese from the columns at
Feng- g-wang-cheng, Taku-shan and Port
Arthur could easily mass against it four
or five times its number and destroy it.
The military men in the st. Petersburg
council see clearly that Port Arthur is
doomed, and that there is nothing to be
done but leave it to its fate. Their policy
is of course to take up the line of the Sun

many generations. The men who went
into the army had to submit to discipline,
had to submit to restraint through the gov
ernment of the leaders they had chosen, as
the price of winning. So we, the people,
can preserve our liberty and our greatness
in time Of peace only by ourselves exercis-
ing the virtues of honesty, of self-restraint,
and of fair-dealing between man and man.
In all the ages of the past men have seen
countries lose their liberty, because their
people could not restrain and order them
selves, and therefore forfeited the right to
what they were unable to use with wisdom
KNEW HOW TO USE LIBERTY.
1t was because you men Of the civil war
both knew how to- use liberty temperately
and how to defend it at need that we and
our children and our children's children
shall hold you in honor forever. Here, on
Memorial Day, on this great battlefield, We
commemorate not only the chiefs who ac-
tuaIly won this battle; not only Meade,
nolds and Howard and Sickles (applause) !,
and the many others whose names flame in
our annals; but also the chiefs who had
made the Army of the Potomac what it
was, and those who afterward led it in the
campaigns which were crowned at Apo
mattox: and furthermore those who made
and used in sister armies Mcclellan, with
his extraordinary genius for organization :
Rosecrans; Buell.; Thomas, the unyielding,
the steadfast; and that great trio, Sher-
man, Sheridan and last and greatest of all.
Grant himself, the silent soldier whose
hammer-like blows finally beat down even
the prowess of the men who fought against
him.
THE MEN BEHIND THE GUNS.
Above all we meet here to pay homage
to the officers and enlisted men who served
and fought and died, without having, as
their chiefs had, the chance to write their
names on the tablets Of fame; to the men
who marched and fought in the ranks, who
were buried in long trenches on the field of
battle, who died in cots marked only by
numbers in the hospitals; who, if they
lived, when the war was over, went back
each to his task on the farm or in the town,
to do his duty in peace as he had done it
in war; to take up the threads of his work
ing life where he had dropped them when
the trumpets of the Nation pealed to arms.
To-day, all over this land our people meet
to pay reverent homage to the dead who
died that the Nation might live; and we
pay homage also to their comrades who
are still with us.
ALL ARE AT ONE NOW.
The sons of those who wore the blue and
the sons of those who wore the gray, and
all can unite in paying respect to the MEM
ory of those who fell, each of them giving
his life for his duty as he saw it; and all
should be at one in learning from the
deaths of these men how to live usefully
while the times call for the performance
of the countless necessary duties of every
day life, and how to hold ourselves ready
to die nobly should the Nation ever again
demand of her sons the splendid ultimate
proof of loyalty to her and to the flag.
