WITH. THE VETERANS
Veteran Defined.

The question frequently arises
what constitutes a veteran
The first notice the writer had of
what afterward became the proper
definition OF the phrase. was when l
reinlisted in December 1868, for an ad-
ditional three years service. This oc-
cured at Stevensburg. Virginia, and
ell who followed suit. were. sworn in
as veterans The word being written
after each mans name. And being
the case, to be privileged to call our
selves veteran, 1t is necessary TO
have reinlisted in the field. or to have
inferred the srvice again at the expira-
ton OF tn first enlistment. The fact
that those who served several months
either in the Civil war. or the Span
ish- American war being called veter-
ans Is a misnomer, because they are
unquestionably not entitled TO that
honor.

the effect that the pupils were
rushed through the different grades
regardless Of their merit, that their
report Cards and exa mination
markings were works of art and
bore no SPECIAL relation to the
pupils progress, and that at last,
they were drilled on the questions
propounded by the State Exami-
nation for two weeks before such
examination took place. and then
passed out into this world OF worry
and work with beautiful engraved
diploma. signed and sealed, and
bearing all the official earmarks,
proclaiming to the world an effici-
ency in rudimentary education lit
tie short Of marvellous. However.
when these pupils were subject to
any real test, they were found
wanting, and wholly unqualified to
do ordinary fifth grade work.
Prof. Dale admitted that while
he had no direct knowledge OF the
questions to be propounded by
the State examination, still, his
thirty years experience in teaching
had gwen him an 'sinkllng" OF
what the examination questions
would probably be, and that these
matters were considered in p1epar-
ing tor the examination. The
hoard sat throughout the session,

City Marshall Jack Higgins, and

All bills which had been presented
were looked over and allowed, and
all business Of the old council
cleaned up.
The new city council will meet
tonight. Friday, May s. in Stephens

derman from the second ward has
signi6ed his intention Of resigning
as he will be away from town on
his farm all summer. He will,
however, meet with the council
tonight and suggest that Sterling
West be appointed in his place.
II Mr.. West will sesve he is Just
the man for the place.
Il is understood that Jack Ev-
ans, the other alderman elect, will
not qualify. IS he will be away
with the Evans bunch Of horses all
summer. SO an alderman will have
to be appointed 10 fill his place.
DR.. T. w. Collinson and c. H.
Sowle have both been suggested
as qualified Tor the position. and
either would fill the bill in 4 cred
able manner.
1t is hoped that capable men
can be selected who will serve and
that the city's buainess can be
properly taken care Of.
The sidewalks. especially on
Broadway. the city's main street.
should be kept in repair and sey-
eral crossings be put in.
A new police magistrate will
have to be appointed in place Of
w. Mathews who is now mayor.

Coffin and Feast Will Be
Ready at the Grave.

With every touch Of the orient Which
can possibly be added to a Washington
funeral train, the body of Moy Joe will
be taken to Congressional cemetery to-
morrow afternoon. All the relatives and
friends of Moy Joe-and there are a
great many of ~thern-will follow the
hearse. Moy Joes body will rest in a
coffin decorated with Chinese symbols
wrought Of paper flowers and odd-loOkins
inscriptions on odd paper of far eastern
make.
One of Moy Joe's countrymen will ride
upon the hearse and will make a start
ling figure as he scatters imitation money
TO the four winds Of heaven. He will be
buying off, the evil spirits, who might
otherwise interfere with the passage Of
Moy Joe's spirit to its rightful resting
place.
At the grave 2 grand feast will be
found waiting for the spirit before it takes
it's journey across the mystic efasm
There will be roast duck, roast chicken.
sweetmeats, rice and tea. and there will
also be a fire built somewhere near the
grave. This last is one of the Chinese
customs used at all funerals.
Moy Joe was at one time a laundryman,
but he made enough money to sell out
and retire to the Chinese quarter. He de-
veloped tuberculosis and, farming the
probable outcome of it, he devoted his
time to every effort possible at prolong-
ing his life.
He died Thursday at Sibley Hospital.

MAKES LAST PORT OF CALL.
Schooner whitehall, Visitor
Washington, Wrecked.

The three-masted coasting schooner 0.
D. whitehall, a frequent visitor to this
port. has been added to the fleet of YES
sells known here that have been lost this
winter.
The schooner went ashore on Knob
Beach at the lower end of Plum Island,
coast of Massachusetts, Thursday last,
and will be a total loss. The master and
crew Of the vessel all escaped but lost
most of their personal effects.
The whitehall was one of the old type of
three-masters and when launched at
Dennis. IN 1874, was regarded as
a big schooner. She had stanchly stood
the buffeting of seas for many years be-
fore meeting disaster.
OF 600 tons register, she was owned by
Doane & Co OF Bath. She was last in
port here last summer when she brought
a cargo of ice from Maine.
The schooner Annie F. Conlan. also In
port here last summer. went ashore on
the coast near Portsmouth, Thursday, but
was fiOated by a tug and the crew of
the Wood Island life saving station. The
vessel was towed into harbor leaking
badly. but the extent of the damage done
her hull will not be known until exami-
nation Is made.
