 Unless the strike is settled in short time the carpenters, stonemasons and other affiliated organizations are bound to become involved.
 More Rioting Probable.
 The possibilities of increased rioting were vastly enlarged by the spread of the strike in the lumber districts, which are along the river front, and which are noted for the fierce mobs which marched through it on former strikes.

A HISTORIC INTERVIEW.
General LOcke's Favorite Story Of
General George G. Meade.

General Locke's Favorite Story of
General George G. Meade.
The late General Fred It. Locke, says
the New York Herald, was an involun-
tary listener to the remarkable inter
view between General Meade, Zach
Chandler and Ben Wade at the same
camp when Meade replied to the OBJ
jections the senators had offered
against his appointment as brigadier
general. He was born, they said, south
Of Mason and Dixon's line, and they
would not trust the chicken Matched
from an egg laid in that region.
Gentlemen" said the soldier, chad
known that in time l might find my
progress impeded by statesmen so en-
inent as Wade Of Ohio and Chandler of
Michigan I should have selected other
parents. AS to the place Of my birth
let me say was born under the Amer
lean flag, I have lived and fought I'm
der it and shall die under it."
The senators were not aware Of the
fact that George G. Meade was born
in Madrid, Spain, and that the stars
and stripes foated over the house at
the time he was ushered into the world.
Locke took great pleasure in telling
this story and much pride, too, in CIV
ing voice to his opinion that George G.
Meade was one Of the grandest soldiers
that ever smelled powder.

SALUTE AT APPOMATTOX.
An Odd Incident In the Closing
Scene Of the War.

An Odd Incident In the Closing
Scene of the War.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat tells
Of curious incident Of which no men,
ton Is made in the books which have
treated Of the closing scenes at Apo
mattox. The muskets of the Confeder-
ates were allowed to remain stacked
on the field. The grass caught fire In
some way and was allowed to burn.
SO suddenly had the fighting ceased on
the morning Of the 9th that thousands
Of the pieces were left loaded. AS the
flames Of the grass crept along the line
of stacked muskets the guns were heat
ed to the firing heat, and soon there
was incessant popping. The balls went
up into the air almost straight until
the force Of the discharge was spent
and then dropped down. To this day
the field Of surrender is strewn with
these bullets, so little has Appomattox
been visited that the balls are easily
found.
This firing Of the muSketS by the
burning grass was the only salute that
accompanied the surrender. When
Lee had received Grants terms and
accepted them the firing Of hundred
guns in token Of victory was begun,
but Grant quickly stopped it.

The Handicapped Half-Breed,

There will be Indians in the Cana

north, Henry A. Cabier-a stalwart

ton, this observant Leather Stocking
says, is the blight which is fast wiping
the half-breed out of existence.
mine out of ten half-breeds die Of
consumption" he continued. $50 swift
are the ravages Of this disease among
these people that the fire in the GENE
terry is always kept burning to thaw
out the ground that the graves may be
dug.
'The Indian does not seem to suffer
like his half-brother After watching
these people for number of years, it
seems to me that they are born with
the disease in them. Then his care
less, slovenly life helps it along. In
spring the half-breed wades out into
the sloughs and ponds and catches a
cold, and, unlike the Indian, is unable
to throw it off. The half-breed morally
is also weaker than the Indian. He
has all the vices of both the red man
and the white man, and but few of
their virtues. st. Paul Dispatch.

A Relic of Chickamaura.

Detroit post, G. A. r., has in it's pos
session one of the most interesting
relics Of the civil war perhaps in the
country in the shape Of a SCARED and
torn trunk of a red oak tree which Is
supposed to have stood in line Of the
hot fire of Confederate cannon and
rifles when Longstreet forced back the
left of the Union army at Chickamau-
ga in September, 1868. The trunk of
the tree, as 1t now appears, is about
twenty feet in diameter and was cut
in 1893 three feet from the ground.
Embedded in one side are three solid
round shot, evidently fired from a
twelve pound Parrot gun, and three
three-inch steel projectiles, probably
from rifled cannon, the butt ends Of
which project about two inches. The
trunk is also scanned and SCARED by
numerous bullets, and fragments Of
shell can be seen in many places.

IF other eyes grow dull and other
hands slack and other hearts grow
cold in the solemn trust, ours shall
keep it well as long as the light and

gather around the sacred remains and
garland the passionless mounds above

''Blank frowned at the boy and

MORGAN'S PRACTICAL JOKE

New Story About the Famous Con-

Three men were telling war stories
the other day, says the Louisville Cou-

an incident of General John Morgan's
career that had probably never been in
print before. Morgan was regarded
by the Union soldiers as holy terror
said one of the famous cavalry leaders
men, land stories had been spread
among them reciting how he shot down
his captives and gave mercy to none.
On the contrary, he was kind hearted.
He was fond of joke, though. On one
Of our raids we captured about twenty
five Union men near MurfreesbOro,
Tenn. They expected nothing else than
to be shot down after the general had
first eaten good meal They began to
talk about it so eXcitedly that some one
reported the matter to General Nor
gan. Walking from his tent, he ordered
the prisoners to be drawn UP in line

The Father of =
y Memorial Day
A BIT Or MEMORIAL DAY HISTORY

Kg HE first official observance of
"a May 80 as a day for the deco
W grafton of the graves of the
Union dead followed a procla-
nation issued from the headquarters
of the Grand Army of the Republic on
May 8, 1860, by General John A. Lo-
gan, commander in chief. This order
read:
'"The Both of May, 1868, is designated
for the purpose of strewing with flow
ers or otherwise decorating the graves
Of comrades who died In defense of
their country during the late rebellion
and whose bodies now lie in almost
every city, village, hamlet and church
yard in the land. In this observation
no form of ceremony is prescribed, but
posts and comrades will in their own
way arrange such fitting services and
testimonials Of respect as circum-
stances may permit.
''We are organized, comrades, as our
regulations tell us, for the purpose,
among other things, of preserving and
strengthening those kind and fraternal
feelings which have bound together
soldiers, sailors and marines who unit
ed together to suppress the late rebel
lion.'
"What can aid more to assure this re-
suit than by cherishing tenderly the
memory of our heroic dead, who made
their breasts a barricade between our
country and It's foes? Their soldier
lives were the reveille Of freedom to a
race in chains and their deaths the tat
too Of rebellious tyranny in arms. We
should guard their graves with sacred
vigilance. All that the consecrated
wealth and taste of the nation can add
to their adornment and security is but
a fitting tribute to the memory Of her
slain defenders. Let no wanton foot
tread rudely in such hallowed grounds.
Let pleasant paths invite the coming

mourners.
