FINE WORK OF
 WOMAN'S RELIEF

Of all the committee, societies, etc., which worked for the success of yes- terday's celebration, none contributed more than did the Women's Relief corps of the G. A. R. These patrio- tic ladies have been putting forth un- tiring efforts for many weeks in pre- paration for the events of Memorial day. The work of securing and pre- pairing the flowers for use at the cem- eteries and in the parade was almost exclusively in their hands and in many other ways they added to the success of the occasion.
 The handsome silk flags which were carried by the school boy marchers were given by the Womens' Relief corps There were 21 of these banners. each AS by 32 inches. Theye were loan ed for yesterdays occasion. The for mai presentation took place this af- ternoon.
 On Monday a handsome silk flag was presented to the Bridgeport High school by the Relief corps, through Mrs. A. A. Libbey. She was introduc ed to the pupils at the morning ex- ercises by Principal H. D. Simonds, and made a very interesting speech of presentation. Color guards from the senior class have been appointed to watch over the nations insignia.
 The decorations throughout Bridge port yesterday were numerous, Old Glory flying from thousands of homes. The national colors were also greatly in evidence in the crowds lining the streets. The day was observed as a holiday very generally throughout the city.
 One of the historic sights in yes terdays parade was venerable ba- rouche occupied by Alderman Garry Paddock, Fred Voos and Malcolm Me- Fayden and former Alderman John Near. This barouche was the property of the late W. D. Bishop and it's his- torical interest comes through the fact that it was used by him in the parade which welcomed Lincoln to Bridgeport on March 10, 1860.
 Alderman Thomas Farrell was pain fully injured on the thumb of his right hand when entering his carriage for the parade. Someone slammed the door while the alderman's thumb was in the jamb, and his finger came near to being severed. Despite the in tense pain. he refused to leave the parade and have the injury attended, but pluckily waited until the conclu- sion of the exercises

Lincoln Was Worn Out, but Hadn't

One day a very energetic lady called
on me to take her to the president and
aid her to get a private soldier par
doned who had been sentenced to
death for desertion and was to be shot
the very next morning. It was late
In the afternoon when we got there,
and the cabinet was still in session. I
sent my name In to Mr.. Lincoln, and
he came out. evidently in profound
thought and full Of some great sub
1ect. I stated tho object Of our call
and, leaving the lady in one of the
antechambers, returned to the senate,
which had not yet adjourned.
The case made deep impression on
me, but l forgot It in the excitement
Of the debate and the work Of my Of
6ce until perhaps near 10 o'clock that
night, when my female friend came
rushing into the room, radiant with
delight, the pardon In her hand.
II have been up there ever since,

and sat waiting for the president to
come out and tell me the fate Of my
DOOR soldier. whose case l placed In
bis hands after you left. But wait
ed in vain-there was no Mr.. Lincoln.
30 l thought I would 60 up to the
door of his cabinet room and knock
I did 80, and as there was no answer
I opened it and passed in. and there
was the worn president asleep with
his head on the table resting on his
arms and my boys pardon signed by
bis side. l quietly walked him, bless
ed him for his good deed and came
here to tell you the glorious news.

LIQUID PORES.
A Entertaining Experiment With Al.
ooheI and Water.

A Entertaining Experiment With Al.
eeseI and Water.
It IL not easy to imagine liquids as
having pores, though this seems to be
the case 40 shown by certain familiar
experiments. When a certain amount
Of powdered sugar is slowly poured
into warm water, the water will dis.
solve the sugar and appear to absorb
It without increasing It's volume. Sim
narly. when alcohol is poured into wa
ter the resulting volume is less than
the sum Of the two volumes.
For instance. II fifty parts Of water
and hfty parts Of alcohol be mixed to-
gether they win make only ninety-four
parts. Apparently one Of the liquids
has entered into the ''pores" Of the
other. This experiment.. as commonly
performed in laboratories, consists in
putting measured quantities Of the two
liquids together. but the effect would
be far more striking were it possible
for students to see one Of the liquids
actually ''soaking'' into the other. This
can be done In the following way:
Take two glasses, one filed to the
brim with water and the other with
alcohol In order to show the effect
to better advantage, color the alcohol
with red ink. The glasses should not
be over full-that Is, the surface Of the
liquid should not bulge above the rim
Of the glass. When everything is
ready. place a sheet Of paper over the
glass full Of alcohol, and with hand
on the paper to keep 1t down on the
rim Of the glass invert the tumbler.
and the liquid will remain in the glass.
owing to the air pressure on the paper.
Now place the inverted tumbler over
the glass full Of water and carefully
draw out the paper. This can be done
without splitting drop Of alcohol. and
yet AZ soon as the paper ID removed
the alcohol win commence to drop.
Owing to the fact that It Is colored 1t
is possible to see the alcohol actually
''soaking'' into the water, while tiny
air bubbles that were formerly contain
ed in the ''pores'' Of the water rise
slowly to the top Of the lumber. This
will continue for some little time until
q considerable air space forms In the
top Of the tumbler.
