oRATIoNS over TAE DEAD

General Joseph Wheeler says that
General Logan's attention, when on
May 5, 1868, as commander OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, he issued
orders in regard to keeping green the
memory of the brave "boys in blue"
had no doubt been called to the custom
Of the Southern people Of annually set
ting apart day ito pay reverence to
those who sacrificed their lives for a
principle that was dearest and nearest
to their hearts," He says:
"The women Of the South were ever
assiduous in their care Of the resting
places of their dead. perhaps because
Of the customs peculiar on this side Of
the Atlantic to Mobile and New Or
leans, where on All Souls Day each
year the cemeteries were carpeted with
untold myriads Of rare and costly dow
ers strewn by devoted hands over the
graves Of the beloved dead.
During the contest between the
States the women and children of the
South delighted to bring flowers and
evergreers to decorate the graves OF
the martyrs to their cause. AS the
spring brought the anniversary of the
doomsday of the "lost cause" the fair
women Of Southland instituted another
and special day in honor of their be-
loved soldiers, and the pathos of the
devotion was the deeper in that the
sacrifice of their lives had been made,
seemingly, all in vain.
stApril 26 was the day set apart by a
consent spontaneous in its universal
adoption. Alabama's and Georgia's

Store Blown Up.

Stroudsburg, PA dynamite expi0-

the store building of Councilman H
W. Kistler, and fire which followed de-
stroyed the building and it's contents.
The explosion and fire caused $4,000
damage. The shock of the explosion
was felt many blocks away.
1t Is believed that some one blew up
the store out of revenge on Mr. Kist-
Ter. A year ago Mr.. Kistler shot a bur
glar, and the mans friends declared
they would square accounts with him.
In the last two months the town has
suffered no fewer than thirty small
robberies, and Councilman Kistler has
taken an active part in bringing the
guilty persons to justice.

then anchored off Port dAyot outside
of territorial waters.
News of this was telegraphed to
Saigon, reaching there about o'clock
a. N. Admiral de Jonquieres, the
French commander, at once decided to
go to Port d Ayot in order to make sure
that the rules of neutrality are not
violated. He embarked on cruiser,
bearing strict and precise instructions.
1t is believed that the return of the
less swift and less strongly armed of
the Russian vessels is ruse con-
ceived by Admiral Rojestvensky with
the intention of deceiving Admiral
Togo into believing that his entire
fleet has returned. while as a matter
Of fact he is making for Vladivostok
with all speed with his best ships.
The return of the vessels caused no
excitement at Saigon, as they are out

were seeking golfers which were
