FIRST MEMORIAL DAY
General Order Issued by John A.
 Logan 45 Years Ago.


 Logan 45 Years Ago.
 The following is copy of the first general order issued for observance of Memorial Day:
 Headquarters Grand Army of the Re-
 public,
 Washington. D. O., May 5. 1868. General Orders No. II.
 I. The 30th day of May. 1868, is des- ignated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defeuse of their country during the late rebel lion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet church yard in the land. In this observance no form or ceremony is prescribed. but Posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.
 We are organized, Comrades, as our Regulations tell us, for the purpose, among other things, " of preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together the soldiers. sailors and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion" What can aid more to assure thls result than by cherishings tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts barricade between our country and it's foes? Their soldier lives were the re- veille of freedom to a race in chains and their deaths a tattoo of rebellious tyranny in arms. We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that the con- secrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security is but fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders. Let no wanton foot tread rudely on such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as people tue cost of a free and undivided republic. If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remains to us.
 Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacrsd remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of spring time let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor ; let us in this solemn presence renew our | pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us sacred charge upon the nations gratitude-the soldiers and sailors widow and orphan. II. It is the purpose of the Com mander-ln- Chef to ina1gurate this ob. servance with the hope that 1t will be kept up from year to year, while a sur vivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades. He earnestly desires the public press to call attention to this Order, and lend it's friendly aid in bringing it to the notice of comrades in all parts of the country in ! time for simultaneous compliance there with.
 III. Department Commanders will I use every effort to make this Order ef- l fective.
 By command of .. JOHN A. LOGAN. Chief. N. P. CHAPMAN, Adiutant General.

STRIKE AT POWER PLANT
Big Work at Falls Village Has Short Interruption this Week.

Big Work at Falls Village Has Short '. Interruption this Week.
 Work at the power and transmission plant at Falls Village is progressing rap- Idly. The coffer-dam just above the spot where the river dam will be built, is under construction. It is few rods north of the old railroad bridge, which is being torn down. The main dam will be built just above the bridge.
 The little iron dump.cars for the nar- row. gauge railway that runs along on the top on the west wall of the canal, have arrived, and are in readiness for the work of transporting material along the whole length of the big ditch.
 The spur track, from the main line to point near the bridge. where the un- loading station is to be located, is practi- cally completed. On all sections of the great work progress is being made. About forty teams are employed, and total of about 400 men.
 Work was interrupted, Monday after noon, by strike among the Italian la borers, resulting from the discharge of about dozen, for cause, by the fore man of gang. Paul Compute, of Bos- ton, the Italian contractor who supplies the help, came on Tuesday, morning to adjust the difficulty, and the men who struck in sympathy, returned to work. The Italian contingent have thus far given no trouble to the authorities, and it is a subject of general remark that they are remarkably peaceable and well-behaved group, and if not stirred up to discontent by agitators, attend strict ly to their work.

The Joint RehearsaIs.


 The joint rehearsal at the Music, Nor folk. Tuesday evening, was splendid and successful ending of the long prepa rations for "The Golden Legend '' and l" Sampson and Delilah," and MT. Paine expressed himself as well pleased with the results. The rehearsals lasted until II o'clock, and Mr. and Mrs. Stoeckel were present and showed great interest and satisfaction in the work, giving gen erous applause at various points. It is fair to predict that the concerts of 1913 will be not one whit behind any that have gone before, in excellence of music and execution.
 All members of the chorus, who have assisted in the concert renditions of the Golden Legend and Samson and De- lilah are invited by MT. and Mrs. Stoeck- el to be their guests at the third concert, Thursday evening, June 5. and railway transportation tickets will be provided to such members by their respective sec- retaries.
 Members singing in the concert per- formance of Samson and Delllah on Wednesday, June 4, are requested to occupy their regular chorus seats at the concert on Thursday, June 5. The chorus tickets are for the individual use of such members and cannot be given away or exchanged.

Connecticut Suffrage News.

All the local leagues which have not already held their annual meetings are preparing to do so within the next week or two. The Hartford Equal Franchise League was one of those that had it's an- nual meeting this week.. It was held on Tuesday and there was a most inspiring record of work to present to the mem- bers. About year ago the Hartford League opened headquarters, and this year it is announced that it is intended to double the accommodation by taking another flat or suite of rooms on the same floor. The headquarters are used by the State Association as we'll as by the Hartford Equal Franchise League.
 Now that the long suffrage campaign is over, Miss Emily Pierson IS looking forward to a vacation. Last year she was absent from the State for over a month, but instead of getting real rest she plunged into the exciting activities of the campaigns in Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan. She is consequently now much in need of a rest, and during her absence Miss Alyse Gregory, the new State Organizer will be able to take much of the work of following up the recent campaign in all the cities that have recently been visited.

NORFOLK CONCERTS NEXT WEEK
Directors Will Assign Invitations At
 Tonights Meeting.

OHRnt mo6ItnRs
 The directors of the Chorus will meet this evening to make assignments of in- vitations to individuals outside of the chorus. All members should get theirs before this evening. AS there is large demand this year members are warned that they cannot assign theirs to persons out of town and expect the directors to take care of members of their families.
 Invitations issued by the directors are not transferable and if they cannot be used by the individuals to whom assigned they should be returned at once to the Secretary, Joseph l.. Parsons. The Sec- retary preserves list of all assignments and the officers of the chorus know where each Canaan person attending the concerts got his invitation, and any trickery in obtaining invitations will be promptly rebuked. Furthermore, after the concerts the invitations are all checked off and " several people who got in last year on untransferred cards were spotted and will not be seen on the plank walk this year."
 While the directors have large list of requests this year, there is always the possibility of inyitations being returned; {; so they suggest that those who wish to go should hand their names to the Secre- tary if then haven't done so. The Di- rectors cannot be expected to canvass the community, and no one should hesitate to make his desires known.
 Because the directors have followed certain rules the distribution of invita- tions in the past has been absolutely inn partial and if any one has not been able to go to concert it was because he didn't make his request in time.

(By Federal Wireless Telegraph
WASHINGTON, September 5.-(Spe-
cial to The ADVERTISER Washington
has not yet been informed officially of
the coming to the United States of
Manuel ID. Semacona Y. Inclan, whom
Provisional President Huerta is sending
to this country ostensibly to bring a
confidential message to President Will
son.
1t is believed that Semacona is com
ing to negotiate certain loans for
Huerta with the cooperation of the
United States government but officials
here would not discuss the point today.
President Wilson is aiming to bring
pressure to bear on Huerta to make a
statement which will eliminate him
definitely and fully as a candidate for
the Presidency at the elections in Mex.
leo next month. In unmistakeable
terms President Wilson has indicated
that Huerta has made statement Of
this nature but he wants the people Of
the nations of Europe to understand IL
as clearly as he does. For that reason
the negotiation is along the line of
smoking Huerta out and causing
him to take the same action openly that
he has taken verbally to the American
government.

While Jerome and his detectives

result of the deportation hearings, the
former New York district attorney
began to while away the tedious time
with game of ''penny ante. Jerome

I'VE Have no Intention of Per-

Army officer in Discussing
Title to Property,
(From saturday Advert ser J


AS result of Investigations con.
Quoted by the local military authorl
ties during the past few days, the City
and County of Honolulu will be called
upon TO explain by what authority it
has seized portion of the war de.
partment wharf site, which the Terri.

incorporated it in the street without so
much as by your leave. 1t is said tina.
Army headquarters has learned that
the superintendent of public works was
