Here are some of the opinions.
literary and otherwise, of Frank
Harris, English editor and Shake
spearean critic:
Emerson is one of the six great
writer's of English literature. He
is the only crowned king of
American letters"
Mark Twain is one of the poor
est specimens Of the man of let
ters TO be found anywhere.
Longfellow goes along with
Mark Twain.
Kipling is a genius who really
stopped his output at fourteen.
He has done nothing worthy in
his late work.
George Bernard Shaw is an
abler man than any cabinet min
lister within my recollection.
Arnold Bennett is an able man
enough, but how could any man
attempt to describe New York
after four days visit? For the
rest, he is making 10000 a year.

That's the way Frank Harris, the

The Day of Memories

Memorial customs, introduced at the close or
the Civil war, in compliance with plans made by
Commander-in- Chief John A. Logan, will be OBJ
served this year in thousands OF cities, villages
and hamlets, the surviving veterans still taking
lea,ling part in the exercises.
1t is they who have made the arrangements for
the ceremonies; they win go early to the cerae-
teries and place blossoms upon the graves or
their brother soldiers; they will constitute a
pathetic and inspiring feature of the parade.
Some day they will not be here to plan and
execute for Memorial day. Some day they all
will have gone into camp the plains and in
the cities of the dead. Some day q grateful
public will look in vain for any of them in the
parade. Then, what? Will the day and its beautl-
full patriotic customs that were so dear to them,
cease to be remembered and observed? We're
that question submitted to the people today 1t is
certain that the votes against remembrance and
observance would be too few for enumeration
The soldiers have led the way; they have shown
cessful observance of the day There have been
not few but thousands Of deeply interested par.
ticipants. All of the patriotic societies that have
grown out Of the Civil war are among them, and
their members numbered by the tens OF thou
sands Then there are the societies which have
come into existence a rsult OF the revolutionary
war, the of 1872 the with Mexico the
Spanish-American and the Philippine insur-
rection And these are not all Millions of
and women who have come from the schools, ana
other millions of boys and girls now in the
day observances.

ing associates shall not be abandoned; that It

STATE ATTACKS ALIRI CHAIN.
Prosecution in Huffman Case Will
Try to Dlsprove Defense.

Columbus.-The first states wit
ness to attack the alibi of Senator
Huffman was called to the stand in
the person of D. L. Matchett of Green
vile, engrossing clerk of the last SEN
ate. He testified that the senate on
the afternoon of April 81 adjourned
before o'clock, as he took the
o'clock Big Four train for his home.
On that train he said were Harry Pro-
basco and number of Cincinnati
men interested in the Cincinnati
canal bill which had been passed by
the senate that afternoon.
The defense claimed that the SEN
ate meeting adjourned sometime be-
tween and 4:30, and that the COM
mittee meeting which furnishes the
alibi did not begin until half hour
later and lasted until o'clock. The
men mentioned by Matchett are wait
ing to be called.
In support of the time of the alibi,
the defense in the present trial has
introduced considerable evidence con-
cerning the time of ball game, the
progress of which was watched by
Senator Hudson in East Broad street
This game they claim closed at 5
o'clock, but the witnesses declare that
the committee meeting did not take
place until after that time.
Senator Shaffer called after Match
ett, testified that he attended the
committee meeting on the afternoon
in question and that senate meeting
had adjourned at 80 or 4:35.
