day he asked fellow practitioner to
do simple errand for him, and that
person refused. Oh, how he took it
to heart. And he remarked that the
younger generation often is uninindful
of the noble service performed by the
Grand Old Army. He never forgavc
that person. 1 refer to him and this
incident, because | thus learned that
the old soldiers are justly jealous of
the respect due them, and for the pur-
pose of calling our attention to the
duty we owe. There were many like
him, but we owe this duty to the able
bodied, as well as to the others. Those
who enlisted and were Thus liable to
be called into battle are NIst as de-
serving of credit and respect as those
who were in the fray. Their sacrifice
was just as great, because they left
their homes and business and were liza
bic at any minute to give their lives
for the cause.
1t is gratifying to note the attitude
of our government towards its soldiers,
and their widows, and those dependent
upon them. A more liberal policy is
manifest in the payment of increased
pensions. And why not? The govern
ment should be very solicitious of
their welfare, especially in their old
age. Did not some give their limbs,
Others some of their best years, and
others their lives to the service? Yes.
nj bn
and bound together with their very
life blood, should look carefully to their
welfare.
The Ladies' Relief corps is also en-
titled to a great deal of credit for the
interest they have taken in our sol
diers, and for the aid and assistance
they have rendered. And we must
remember the aid the women rendered
during the war, even on the battle field
And remembering their sacrifice we
must honor them in the same degree
that we honor our noblest heroes. For.
as said before, they are as noble as
any.
With deep regret, ! recently read
report setting forth the fact that since
the last memorial day, from quarter
to a half of the remaining veterans
of the Civil war have been called BY
the Great Commander in Chief to Join
the cohorts above. The ranks are fast
becoming thinner and thinner. And some
day we will not have them with us,
and the opportunity to express our APP
probation to them personally, will be
beyond recall
For these reasons, | trust that the
time will never come when these cX
ercises will cease to be held. And it
is hoped that the people of our coun
try will ever honor and commemorate
the soldiers who have battled for her,
not only in the Civil war, but in all
her wars. Let us believe this will be
true.

From tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Memorial day was observed at Lake
Crystal yesterday with appropriate
ceremonies. Attorney j. w. Schmitt
was the orator for the occasion, and
he spoke as follows:
Once more a year mas rolled by, and
we are again assembled to pay homage
to the heroes of the Civil war-to the
dead as well as TO the living
Memorial day is day of mixed joy
and sadness. We rejoice in the re-
membrance that the men of our ma
tion were quick to abondon private
enterprise for the benefit of the public;
that the wives and sweethearts. and
the mothers of these men, were brave
and stout of heart, wnen, tho witt
tears streaming down their cheeks,
they acquiesced in the determination
of these men to respond to the call OF
their country. So, | say, it is mat
our country had such men, who were
not only willing, but eager, to sacri-
flee private business and to face i'm
prisOnment, sickness, and death, SO
that we and future generations might
have the great and glorious united
nation which we have today-in fact,
the greatest nation in the world
For these reasons we rejoice today,
and stand assured that the spirit of
the sixties still lies dormantly enk1nd-
led in our nation, ready to success
fully meet any crisis which may con-
front us. Thus we have our day of
gladness.
On the other hand ou hearts are
deep in sorrow today, when we re-
member that other veterans might be
with us here, but for the fact that they
went to their death through sickness
on the field, or in dingy prisons, or
were moved down in the smoke and
din of battle. We mourn the loss Of
these immOrtals, and our hearts are
full heavy when we see the sick and
crippled. We extend hand of SYM
pathy to the widow, who in tears and
anguish received the sad message of
the stricken or fallen husband-far,
far, away. How her heart must have
ached! How terrible her sacrifice. We
weep with her, for she was. she is. as
noble as any. Can we chide her if in
that awful moment she cursed the
war? Nay, she was crushed with an
awful calamity. and the good, which
the general public derived through the
sacrifice, faded for Il moment from her
view. Thus VIC have our day of sad
ness.
We of today are so used to the occur
cnce of momentOus events i'm rapid
succession, that it is difficult for us
to appreciate the very perplexing
questions which confronted the people
of our country for some time prior
to, and at the time of the civil war.
We must retrace the steps of time
and place ourselves in their position.
as nearly as possible, in order to thor
oughly understand the complicated is
sues which they solved
In the first place, we must know
that human beings are largely the
creatures of locality or environment.
Not only is the physical body
affected and moulded i'm this
way, but the mental attitude. |

Application of the Great Truth.

My friends, | must leave you to
make your own application of this
great truth. 1t is one that deeply
concerns us all. In the years of op-
portunity that are left us here on
earth precious years because we know
not how few they may be, let us
turn from death and enter into life.
Let us strive to put away all that
destroys our immortal character and un
dermines our God given manhood. Let
us turn to the things which are really
worth while. Let us lay hold on that
immortality of character which is with
in our reach. In this quest, | would
commend to you the constant associa-
tion with Him, the center of human
history, in whom God and man meet.

one-third Of the total body, and if Mr..
Taft had any desire to see q court
formed to carry into effect any partic-
ular idea or policy, he will have
been favored in that desire beyond the
broadest conception. 1t is to be hoped
that he will seek men different from
his cabinet officers in some respects,
because they are credited with being
SO strongly imbued with trust ideas
they can see nothing else.
Report says that Gov. Hughes will
be appointed in Justice Fuller's stead.
This seems logical and will be univer-
sally commended we think, unless by
the corporations. There is rumor
that he would be urged to resign the
position he now has accepted on that
court. and run for governor of New
York again, but he would never do SO
with the position of chief justice with
in his grasp.

NARROW ESCAPE
Mr.. Lewis And Mr.. Brandeburg
Carried Down Stream

Mr.. Howard Lewis of STAUNTON
had narrow escape from drowning
Monday while fording Middle River
just below Schutterly's Mill. In
company with Mr.. J. W. Brandeburg
he was attempting to cross the stream
which was much swollen by the heavy
rains, when the horse became startled
supposedly by something striking his
legs, broke loose from the buggy and
left the occupants to the mercy of
the flood. The buggy was overturn-
ed by the swift water and MI. Lewis
was carried down stream for about
two hundred yards, his miraculous
escape being due entirely Ito the fact
that the current carried him near
the bank. He was quick to see his
oppol tunity and with great effort
struggled ashore, after having had
sufficient excitement for one Fourth
of July, He was ON the streets yes
terday. however, apparently none the
worse for his thrilling experience.
Mr.. Brandeburg was rendered as
sistance by some people on shore,
who fastened together the reins from
their harness and drew him to safety.
Last reports were to the effect that
the buggy, which it is understood
was the property of Mr.. Brandeburg,
had not been recovered.

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER
DIES SUDDENLY
At Summer Home = Death
Great Shock To Country

Sorrento, Me-, July AIN fulfil
ment of. an oft-expressed wish that
he might end his long life in the very
room where his wife breathed her last
six years ago. the venerable Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, Melville w. Fuller,
died suddenly from heart failure early
today. Not only did the leader Of the
American Judiciary round out his
days in the same room where his wife
had passed away. but it was in the
State of his nativity, the State he low
ed so well, that his long life ended.
Chief Justice Fuller was " years
old.
With the justice when he died were
his daughter, Mrs. Nathaniel Francis,
Of Washington; his grand daughter,
Miss Aubrey Francis, and the Rev.
James E. Freeman, Of Minneapolis, a
neighbor and friend of the family.
Justice Fuller had not shown any
sysmptoms of illness.

of the Redeemer, Episcopal, where
the Rev. Mr.. Freeman conducted the

JEFFRIES KNOCKED OUT
No Match For The Big Black
Fighter

Reno, New, July 5-J. ames J. jeff
ries was knocked out-though he did
not take the count-in the fifteenth
round of his fight with Jack johnson
at Reno yesterday. For the first
time in his career he was knocked
down, in the final round, going to the
mat not once only, but three times.
Then his handlers surrendered the
fight before the timer could toll ten,
saving their man the humility of be-
ing counted out.
Before the men went into the ring
it was announced that on Friday a
new agreement had been made, by
which the purse should be split 60 and
40 per cent. instead of rs and 25 per
cent; also that $40, 900 was added to
the purse money. This makes John
sons end $72, 600 and Jeffries $48, 400,
plus the picture rights shares, already
sold by johnson for $50, 600 and jeff
ries for $50, 667.
Jefferies was . i0-to-6 favorite before
he went into the ring, but his perfor-
nance showed tboth that the belief
he could not regain his old physical
form was correct, and that his boxing
ability and Judgment of distance were
not developed as they should have
been for SO important a bout.

HOLD FAMILY REUNION
Children All Here on July Fourth
First Time In Many Years.

:. The residence of Mr.. John B. Hoge,
Sunday and Monday, was the scene of
perhaps the most remarkable gather
ing STAUNTON has ever witnessed.
For the first time in twenty-five
years, this family. consisting of Mr..
and Mrs. Eoge, nine sons and one
daughter, met in re-u9ien. 1t is true
that at different times each of the sons
had visited their old home, but this
is the first occasion on which all of
them, hale and hearty, have succeed
ed in being here at the same time.
Mr.. Hoge is seventy one years of age.
The ages of mis- children range from
the Oldest who laughingly declined to
give his age on statuatory grounds,
to the youngest who is twenty four.
The family was photographed, the
photographer stating that it was the
largest family group Of which he had
ever made picture. In a few days
most of them will be back at their
posts two will remain here Tor their
vacations. The following is list of
children: Messrs. Will, Eugene, Jor
dan and Ernst of Frankfort, KY. !;
Messrs., @. K, w D., M. Gunther,
George T., and John M. of STAUN-
TON and vicinity, and Miss Emma E.

have remained in STAUNTON are

ed citizens. Those who have gone to
distant states have.succeeded in what
ever line chosen and are honored in

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER.

The death of Chief Justice Melville
w. Fuller of thebupreme Court of the
United States, came as q distinctive
shock to the nation. He had not been
sick so far as known, indeed reports
now say that until the hour of his
dissolution he seemed as well as he had
been for long time. Justice Fuller
merited all the encomiums that have
been passed upon him. He was an
upright judge, man of learning and
ability, pure in character and an orna-
ment to society and the bench. He
was never regarded as brilliant man,
but his spotless character, and judicial
trend Of mind, fitted him well for the
position he held. On April 3Oth, 1883,
President Cleveland appointed him
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States to succeed the late
Chief Justice Waite. His nomination
was followed by a memorable contest
in the senate. The Judiciary Commit
tee, with its republican majority, to
which the nomination was sent April
80, held up the appointment until July
20. Then the committee reported it to
the senate swithout recommendation"
For three hours that body debated IN
executive session whether to confirm
or reject the nomination. The attack
On Mr.. Fuller was led by Senators Ed
munds, Evarts and Stewart. Senators
Cullom and Farwell defended him.
The reports that he had been a "Cop-
perhead" during the civil war and
that he did not possess the requisite
ability as a lawyer were gone over.
Finally, by a vote of Al to 20, his NOM
nation was confirmed.
His death affords Mr.. Taft opportu-
mites not coming to every president.
He has had unusual power in shaping
this high court. Justice McKenna and
Justice Brewer have both died within
the first year of MI. Taft's incumben-
cy, and Justice Moody has become in
capacitated and will retire on account
of i'll health. Now comes the death of
the chief justice. Four members Of
that high tribunal in one year is over
