toward diversion after the first Grand
nevertheless in the hearts of the Amer

1t is the day when the minds of men
turn to those who participated in the
greatest civil and military conflict thai
has ever inspired the patriotism and
developed the heroes of a nation. 1t is
likewise a memorial festival in the
hearts and souls of all Americans. re-
CARELESS of the military side.
1t is the day when with bowed heaG
the sons of men pay homage to thu
dead, when from the sacred recesses
of the heart comes the silent tribute
to those whose existence was a bless

those who survive are spared as the
adornment of the homes altar.
To many every day is a memorial

who suffered and died that the nation
created by Washington and preserve
by Lincoln and Grant should not per

Mrs. Mckinley sleeps beside the
companion of all her years of sorrow
and suffering. Not the greatest of
earthly achievement, not the highest
honor that the world knows coming to
her husband in the prime of life. could
rccompense the devoted wife for his
tragic. cruel and most untimely death
and from the moment that he was TAX
en- from her side her one prayer was
that God might take her to him. Life
was indeed peculiarly desolate to her
despite the fact that millions of people
shared in measure her sorrow. The
hCart-grief of a people poured out for
one of the noblest of men. the best trait
of whose nature after all was his un
varying devotion to the afflicted woman
whom he had taken unto himself, &c
love, honor and cherish in sickness as
in health. The American people re
vered President Mckinley as soldier
they respected him as statesman, but
they loved him most as a man.

Tin God We Trust. -

This is the motto which is stamped
on all our silver and gold coins. Yet
it was not until 1864 that it became a
custom, and the first coin which bore
the motto was a copper two cent
piece which was coined on April %,
1864, especially to have this motto
stamped upon it.
The idea was originally suggested
by a man from Maryland, who said
that as we were Christian people it
was only meet that we should make
proper recognition Of the fact in our
coinage. The motto itself was taken
from the national hymn, "The Star
Spangled Banner" ." 49,.
About 1886 the London "Tit-Bits -
offered a prize for the best defini-
tion Of money. The following defini-
tion by Henry Beggs was awarded the
+. decision: "Money is an article which
may be used as universal passport
to everywhere except heaven, and as
univelsal provider Of everything
except happiness"

POOR HEALTH
Muldoon is in Charge of the

By Associated Press.

White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 23.-It be-
came known today that Elihu Root,
secretary of state, is taking exercise
at the large farm and training quar-
tiers of Bill Muldoon, the ex-champion
wrestler of the world, which is stu
ated about two miles from White
Plains. Mr.. Root arrived here several
days ago. 1t is said that he is suf-
fering from overwork and fatigue and
is on the verge of p nervous break
down. He is accompanied by his sec
rotary, who looks after his CORE
spondence.
A part of the routine at the Mn
doom farm is to rise at daybreak, milk
the COWS. work in the fields, and then
after breakfast, to trudge ten or fif.
teen miles across the Westchestcy'
hills. The remainder of the day is
put in with horseback, sparring un-
der the direction of Muldoon, bath
ing and reading newspapers.
1t is not known WHISTLER or not the
secretary of state is following the
regular course of exercise, but he has
been seen out horseback riding ar
in a touring car.
People from the sanitarium say

Greeks and Italians Strike
Saying Fare is Not to
Their Liking.
VESSEL is TIED UP FOR FEW
DAYS PENDING ARRIVAL o.
NEW OYES-OFFICERS OF
DREDGE TELL ABOUT THE
FARE THEREON AND ELSE
WHERE.

AS the result of the suddenly con-
certed idea of nine men employed on
board the United States dredgeboat
Caucus that they were not receiving
fair treatment by the officers Of the
boat, the Caucus is tied up at the Bay
len street wharf, temporarily out of
commission, as the crew, as at pres
ent composed, is inadequate to handle
her at sea.
The men who walked off the boat
on Thursday night, after announcing
their determination to remain ashore,
were six firemen working for $45 a
month and board, and three coal pass
ers, working for $40 a month and
board. The men were all Greeks and
Italians, and were dissatisfied at the
food given them by the officers on
the boat.
New Men Coming.
When seen last night by a repre-
sentative of the Journal, Capt. F. NJ.
Dunn affirmed that the men had quit
the ship, and that she could not be
handled until more men should ar
rive. He had communicated the facts
in the case to the authorizes at
Washington, and more men are now
on the way to take the place of the
strikers.
Work and Food.
The nine men who walked ashore
worked in relays, taking eight hours
off duty to every four hours of wOrIh
The officers of the ship state that the
men were given exactly the same
quantity and quality Of food that the
officers of the ship have been receiv-
ing, and that there was no reason
for their dissatisfaction. Their pay
was exceedingly good. considering
the short hours of work and the fact
that their board was furnished by
Uncle Sam.
In Other Lines.
The food served aboard the Caucus,
so state the officers of the boat, is
at all times the best that the market
affords, and as the boat is never long
away from shore, the men got much
better food than do most of the sail
OrS in either the merchant marine or
the United States navy.
Captain Dunn expects to receive
more men today, and to have the boat
tied up but a short time. The ot.er
men on board the boat seem to be
perfectly cOntented with their lot, and
there is no fear of any more trouble
On board.
