PROPERLY OBSERVED
BURDEN LIFTED FROM SHOIJL-
DERS OF OLD VETS.
City Council Takes the Initiative
and Will Engineer Arrangements
Literary and Musical Program
at TurnerOperd House Preceding
Plan Big Street Parade

Every indication now points to a
most fitting observance of Memorial
Day in Watertown. Brief mention
was made in The Leader of the action
taken by the city council on Tuesday
evening, but not as extensive as
the matter warranted. Mention was
made of the appropriation of $lOO by
the council to help in defraying the
expense connected with the observance
of the day. A committee consisting
of Mayor Mulberger, Aldermaen, A.
H. Hartwig. F. C. Werner, Herman
Tetzlaff nd John Kehr. The COM
mittee lost no time in taking action
and held meeting Immediately after
the session of the city council. The
move on the part of the city council is
most cUmmendable one indeed. The
diminishment in the "Boys in Blue
and the fact that age is telling upon
them, makes it imperative that the
duties attending the observance of the
sacred day, fall to younger blood.
There is no body more representative
Of the city than the common and
the fact that the members of the
same are to take the initiative is an
act of patriotism that reflects the
greatest of credit upon the mayor and
ccuncilmen and their acts are being
shown many evidences of apprecia-
ton. not only by the members of o.
D. Pease post, G. A. R., but by cit
liens in general.
The committee above referred to
are at work in conjunction with
from local G. A. r. post
in arranging an observance that will
be creditable to the city uf Water
town. Sub committees will be named
to assist in arranging minor details.
1t is the plan to have the main
Memorial exercises On Friday even
ing preceding at the Turner opera
house. This is by reason OF the fact
that the annual homecoming of the
university will be held
OH Memorial Day. At the exercises
IN Friday evening, there will be a
musical and literary program appro-
pirate to the occasion. 1t is the plan
Of the committee to extend an invita-
ton to the officials of Sacred Heart
college and Northwestern university
to send representatives to participate
in the speech and pay glow ing
tributes to the memory of those who |
sacrificed their life and offered their
service during the dark days of 1865.
Memorial Day, it is the plan to
nave grand street parade. Ar.

to the United States from 1881 to
1883. AT the request OF President
The Detroit times., 1908-09-04

Lord Sackville's dismissal by Cleve
land practically ended his diplomatic
career, for since 1883 he was never en-
trusted with any important diplomatic
mission. He lived quietly the life of
country gentleman and seldom ap-
peared in London society. He always
retained a grudge against America
and Americans and II was his custom
to avoid any meetings with travellers
from the other side.
Pamphlet to Excuse Him.
A few years ago Lord Sackville
created a sensation by publishing a
pamphlet for private circulation among
his friends, in which he indicated his
diplomatic work In the United States
The newspapers obtained copy OF
this publication. In 1t Lord Sackville
explained with much picturesque de-
tail that the trap into which he fell
at Washington was Fenian conspir
acy; that the Fenian organization har-
assed him during his residence In Am
erica. kept spies after him and plot
ted to assassinate him. Few of the
diplomats friends took this story ser
iously. Most OF them regarded II as
the imaginings of disappointed old
man who was brooding over what he
considered his wrongs.
The incident referred to occurred in
1888 when Cleveland was candidate
for reelection to the presidency and
Lord Sackville was British ambassa-
dor at Washington
--'-' personal letter WAS received by
him from man named Murchison,
supposed to have been a naturalized
citizen of the United States Of British
birth. The ambassador was asked for
an expression of opinion as to the at
titude OF his government toward the
American political situation.
Falls Into Trap.
Lord Sackville was innocently en-
trapped into answering that, In his
judgment the British would rEgarrt
with favor the reelection of Cleveland.
He gave his reason that Cleveland,
the candidate of democracy. stood on
a platform favoring low tariff. a pol
icy which was undoubtedly in accord
ance with prevailing opinion I'm Brit
ain He advised, therefore, all natur-
allied Britons who still felt an inter
est in the wishes of their countrymen
across the sea, TO support the Demo
cratic candidate
The letter was published In a west
ern newspaper and is thought TO have
contributed TO Cleveland's defeat. Lord
Sackvlle explained that it was design
ed as a political scheme with the de
liberate intent that II should react on
Democracy.

given his passports and the secretary
