From Thursdays Daily.
Thousands honored the memories OF
Z Americas heroic dead by attendance
at and participation in the ceremon-
les held today in commemorat1on OF
the dead heroes to whom is due the
credit for the TACT that the United
States is today a united nation and
not one divided and split up into
number of smaller republics, all at the
mercy Of the larger nations OF the
world and none of them amounting to
anything as far as being a power in
the world.
The principal features OF THE day
ceremonies we're the exercises carried
out by the local military organiza-
tions. During the afternoon the exer'
cises on the South Side were carried
out as announced and full account
of which will be found in another col
umn of this issue. The decoration OF
the graves in Calvary cemetery was
done this forenoon by members OF the
g. A. R. The exercises were carried
out successfully despite the fact that
the elements were little inclined to
conspire against the plans by threat
ening rain large part of the day.
But even rain is powerless tt
dalppen the ardor or those who truly
respect and honor the memory of the
tbrave heroes, who risked their lives
many of them losing them, in the de
Tense OF their country.
Many Participate.
The exercises this afternoon were
participated in by the Grand Army o

whole city was centered in the obser.
vance OF the memorial exercises, bust
ness in general being suspended in or

those who Were carrying out the mem.
oral day program.
Il large assemblage gathered at the
court house shortly after dinner and
the formation OF the various organtza-
tons into procession was carried out
4. an orderly manner.
Old and Young Soldiers March.
The procession, when formed, was a
very interesting and curious mixture
OF age and youth. Old veterans and
young militiamen, aged members OF
the W. r. &. and little school children
all together formed a procession which
was highly interesting to the specta'
tor and the attempt OF the older ones
to step with the younger members OF
the procession compelled them to at
tempt to return to the quick, firm step
o. their younger days.
The old veterans, bearded and gray
bent with the care and sutferings O
years, many OF them finding great dit
ficulty in keeping up with the process
sion, formed startling and striking
contrast to the younger veterans 81
the Spanish-American war and the
members OF the national guard, al
spick and span N their natty, blue
uniforms, clothing young, strong
frames of American youth, the major
ity OF them typIfying the model sol
d; er, their straight boo.es and erec
military carriage being all the more
pronounced by being contrasted by tht

fhe Confederate Army.
Let us pause for moment and note
the strength Of the confederate army
| in order that we may know something
of the magnitude OF the task under
taken BY the government IN subduing
the rebellion.
The census Of 1850 gives the num-
Der of white men of military age iiv.
| ing In the eleven Confederate states
as 1,u41 ,9S7. Military age signifies
age ranging any where between IL
and IS years, almost SOUOW young
men under IL years OF age when the
war began became OF age during the
progress Of the war. BY seven con
scription laws all these men who did
not volunteer were pressed into the
i rebel army. In February 1853 9
second CONSUMPTION law was passed by
i the confederate congress including all
'I,the inhabiatants OF white male seS

The next step was to get II piece of

to extend across the closet from hook

On this cord she strung Il dozen or
more large safety pins by running the
cord through the opening In the clasp
of the pin.
She folds her skirts exactly in half,
sticks the point of pin through the

between these two points, then she
fastens the safety pins, and her skirts
hang in their natural folds with little
strain and away from the wall.
The pins slide freely up and down

The world Is full of superstition, and
one of the worst Is that the opal is
'unlucky." This superstition arose
when the "black DEATH swept Europe
At that time the opal was very popu-

was dead it became dull OF course
this took the popular fancy. and ut once
opals became ''unlucky" and have re
