spect over the resting places Of com
rades in arms. Thus u of sorrows
common to the North and South alike
came this beautiful custom. Later
the legislatures of different States
took the matter up until at present
nearly all the Northern states have
made it a legal holiday. Decoration

themselves to their country, were

is well that in our pursuit of the al
mighty dollar that one day should be
set apart by the nation as a day when
our thoughts should wander back to
those trying days of the EOS; those
days when our nation was bathed in
the most precious blood.
The bayonet which pinned together
a nation has long since been pulled out
and laid away, and today we know no
North. no South, but a union of States,
cemented by the eternal ties of love of
country. Those who fought On the de-
feated side thought they were fighting
for right. but they were wrong, and
right triumphed. The food of years
has washed away the bitter enmity
that existed during the awful strife
and today both sides mingle on the

graves of those who fought for the
North and those who fought for the
South. The ranks on both sides are
rapidly timing and the only enemy
they now know is death.

AS to be expected of this man, in
the present newspaper controversy as
well as in all his dealings, he shows
the Dung Hill characteristics. In an
argument we like to meet men who talk
sense, not men whose only thoughts run
to nastiness.
The public do not care to read Dung

the Dung Hill Long Legs, persists in
making Dung Hill arguments, the only
recourse to meet him is to 60 down

President Lincoln was at City Point
during the momentous period Of March
"a to April Z, 1865. An incident then
occurred which deserves to be perma-

life of that great patriot, which sprang
from the kindness and sympathy Of
his great soul and the unaffected SIM
plicity of his character. That living
member of the Eighteenth was wit

Major William S. Greenough, who was
wounded April 2, was carried to the
hospital at City Point, nine miles in

the hospital, below is the story as writ

He stood in his doorway with his shot

man in the doorway raised his gun
and fired. The stranger fell dead.
The father summoned his family and
the few remaining servants Of the
plantation. An investigation was held
and the tragic truth was revealed.
"The father, of course, was inconsol-
able. He returned to his house, while
the servants carried the lifeless form
of his boy to the home that had been
awaiting his coming. The next day
the invited guests began to arrive. The
father had given orders that the trag-

Young Confederate, Returning
Home Unscathed, Shot
Dead by His Father.

80 ERHAPS the saddest story of
- the civil war is that told of
rs Confederate family directly
after the great conflict. Mrs.
Chestnut mentions it in her "Diary
From Dixie and a man who heard it
at first hand tells it as follows in the
New York Sun:
THE soldier had enlisted in Georgia
from his home, where his father re-
NAMED undisturbed during the strug-
gle. The young man had fought through
the war without a scratch, save a
slight wound which had left him
partially deaf. This affliction he had
never referred to in any of his letters.
after the surrender he commune
Gated with his father, saying he would
reach home on or about certain date.
Travel then was uncertain, and he was
not positive as to when he would ar
rive. His father prepared to receive
him. Believing that his son would
come as promised, he arranged a
spread such as the conditions of his
surroundings at that time would per-
nit He had brought out his best
plates that had been seereted for q
long time, and with gold which had
been exhumed he bought such delica-
cies and substantials as the southern
market at that time afforded.
"As many of the old time neighbors
as were living in the vicinity We're in

IRELAND IN THE CIVIL WAR.
Archbishop Was Chaplain and Was
Near to Death.

NEAR TO OSdtHs
s'very few of the friends of Arch
bishop ireland know that he was a
chaplain during the civil war;" says
M. L. Thornton, a prominent lawyer in
New York city, an intimate friend Of
the archbishop.
II have known Archbishop Ireland
for many years. continued Mr.. Thorn
ton, 'sand he told me of an incident
which | do not believe many persons
know of, for think it has never been
published. The archbishop, then a
chaplain, had been serving in the
south and was taken seriously Ill, so
Ill, indeed, that he was ordered by the
doctors to the general hospital at
Vicksburg. He was sent on board a
boat bound for that point and was so
weak that he could hardly talk. He
asked his nurse for glass Of water,
which had been prohibited by the doc
tor. The nurse repeated the request
to the physician on board the boat, and
the latter, after examining the chap
lain, babe the nurse give him anything
he wanted, for said the doctor, he
will not be alive when we reach Vicks-
burg, and we might as well give him
whatever he desires in the few remain
ing moments of his life.' But the chap
lain, who was afterward to become
one of the strongest powers In the
Catholic church of America, surprised
the physicians. He was alive when he
reached Vicksburg and astonished ev-
cry one by his remarkable vitality. He
was a very sick man for weeks, but he
recovered. '-W Washington Post

table speech at the recent silver jubilee
of the New York Charities Organization
Society. He said, in part: This society
is the true agent of democracy, seeking
not merely to apply balm to the bruises
of life, but to eliminate the causes of
unnecessary injury. We cannot but re-
alize that large portion of our brethren
are the helpless victims of an environment
from which they cannot escape, and
through which they are destined to ply
steal misery, moral impoverishment and
economic inefficiency. 1t is our duty pa
tiently to consider what can be done, not
merely to afford temporary relief to i'm

conditions desirable, and said that the

U. S. MINT is BUSY
GRINDING OUT CASH.
People Throughout the Whole Coun-
try Are Making Incessant
Calls for Money.
GREAT YELLOW STREAM OFGOLD
Millions of Dollars in Bullion Now
Pouring in to Be Made
Into Coin.

This is the busy season in the United
States mint at Philadelphia All the
country is calling for money. Every
bit of coin-making machinery in the
big institution is working overtime.
Secretary Cortelyou has ordered the
coinage of $6O,0O0,0O0 in 20-dollar gold
pieces within the next three months.
The mint machinery has a capacity of
1000 of these coins an hour. Meantime,
there is an insistent demand from all
over the country for silver coin of the
smaller denpminations. The mint off
Gals have been wholly unable to sup
ply these calls. Day and night, coiners,
assayers and the countless other spe-
cialized workers have been working
overtime, some of them fourteen and
sixteen hours day. They have sue
ceeded only by giving each city less
than half what was requested. Per-
emptory demands have been made for
an unlimited amount Of dimes, quar-
tiers, half dollars and dollars. Within
the last two weeks 100000 in gold
has been coined. Every department
has been ordered to get busy.
About $40,000,000 in bullion is al
ready within the vaults. More is COM
ing. 1t is all to be coined without de-
lay Massive new machinery has been
added lately and is now being tried for
the first time, very satisfactorily. The
mint officials are confident they can
complete the task on time.
The new issue of gold eagles will
have forty-six stars around the edge
instead of forty-five as heretofore, Ok
lahoma having become a state None
will carry the motto in God We
Trust" This motto was added in 1858
by Supt James Pollock, with the sane.
ton of President Buchanan, and after
nearly fifty years has been taken off
by President Roosevelt.
The gold bullion supply comes to
Philadelphia by express and is de-
livered in ordinary express wagons in
charge of two men. The officials laugh
at danger of theft The bullion is in
bars, securely boxed, and so heavy to
the box that man could not run two
squares with it without becoming ex-
hausted.

New Way of 'Phoning.

Two young women of st. Louis recent
ly discovered by accident that it was not
necessary to place the lips near the trans
mitter of a telephone to be heard at the
other end of the wire, provided the trans
mitter were placed firmly against the
chest or even other parts of the body.
The advantages claimed for the new sys-
tenn are that it is germ-proof and non
fatiguing. Prof. Calvin NJ. Woodward,
one of the scientists at Washington uni
versity, explained that there was nothing
new in the principle, but admitted he had
never before thought of its application to
the telephone. He said the sound vibra-
ton in the lungs is communicated through
the chest instead of through the lips, and
then carried over the wire in the usual
way. The system, he said, is in accord
ance with the principle of the PHYSICIANS
stethoscope.
