J. S. Government to Care for
Confederate Cemetery Next to Union One.
Springfield, He., Mar 17 Br an let of the sixty-first congress the onlr kstinctlre Confederate cemetery In flssourl, whiclk is located at Spring' leld, la to be taken over by the United Itatee government and maintained Jong with the National cemetery, vhlca adjoin It on the north. The ilgalng- of the bill by the President inde a long and at times bitter controersy over the care of the Confederate oriel ground. Sentiment baa played 10 ia portent part In the opposition to Jte onion of the two cemeterlea. At M Usee the Orand Army members in tSlssoort were greatly opposed to the movement and the Confederates themelves were divided. Since the eetahllshlng of the Confedirate cemetery In 1870 It has been ooked after by the Confederate Cemstery association which was organized it Springfield November S3, 18. The semetery has been maintained by voluntary subscriptions from the voterins and sympathisers of the "Lost jCaoM. The establishing of the cemetery was prompted by conditions around Springfield a few years after the war, when In many places the bones of Confederate soldiers who fell at Wilson's creek and In skirmishes Jnear the city could bo see above ground. I After the organization of the cemetery association several acres of land southeast of Springfield were purchased and set aside for the final resting place of the fallen heroes. The 601 soldiers who had not been accorded a decent burial were disinterred and burled in the plot set aside for that purpose. In the cemetery were Interred the 139 men who fell on the battlefield of Wilson creek and 263 who were) killed In and around Springfield. Only a few were Identified. The graves of these were appropriately marked. Fmr e long time nothing was done toward the beautifying the cemetery, but at the reunion of the Confederates at Sedalla In 1S82 the cemetery was adopted as a special charge. It has always been under the control of the cemetery association. In the last for-
ty years more than two hundred of the veterans who followed the stars and ban through the Missouri and Arkansas campaigns have Joined their comrades beneat the wide spreading maples that shade the spot. A roteet In C levels nd's Time. With the limited funds at their command the cemetery association could do Ettle toward improving the cemetery. Bach year It was compelled to solicit contributions, paring the administration of Cleveland a movement was started to have the government take) over, and care for the place. There Immediately arose a storm of protest from the Orand Army men. Many southerners were also opposed to asking the federal government for aid In' caring for the graves. Nothing was done, and the association was compelled to keep on with the work With only limited means. At a reunion of the veterans of the Confederacy, three years ago. the officers of the association reported that they were mo longer financially able to take proper care of the cemetery. Congressman C. W. Hamlin was then asked to Introduce a bill In congress suggesting that the government take over the property. There was still a feeling among the Q. A. It. members . that the Confederates ought to take oara of their own dead, and it was not till the) last session of congress that favorable action was obtained. ' Opposition to the bill was not confined to the ranks of war veterans. Sentiment of southern congressmen ' prompted them, to oppose the measure . ana It was not till the situation was folly explained to them that they yield- ' ed. Two years ago It was thought the house committee on military affairs might report the bin favorably, but an amendment suggested by the quartermaster -general of the war department again delayed action. ' Ha proposed that the government, in taking over the cemetery, reserve the tight to use any part of the burial ground for the burying of the Union dead in the event that all available
space In the National cemetery should
be used. Net Satisfactory to Confederates
This amendment was far from satisfactory to the Confederates even thoee who had worked hardest to get the bill passed and It seemed the
movement would be abandoned. Let
or the quartermaster-general agreed to
withdraw the amendment so much ob
jected to, and the bill as passed is
' satisfactory to a large majority of the
.'southerners now living In this state.
' At the next meeting of the Confederate Cemetery association arrange
ments will be made to deed the cea
tery to the government under the pro
visions of the act. It will then be put la charge of the keeper of the National oemetery, who Is ordered to exer
cise the same care la the preservation and beautifying of both cemeteries, j' The government agrees to preserve ;a record of the names of all Confederate soldiers buried there, together with any history of them that may be fur
nished. The government agrees fur
ther that It shall never be used for any purpose than as a cemetery for
the graves of men who were in the military or naval service of the Coteder-

ment In the Confederate cemetery, and waa erected twelve years ago at a cost of $20,000. It Is the work of the
noted Italian sculptor, Senor Trenton-
ove, who did the work in Florence. He
was present at the dedication of it. At the time the movement for the monument was . started there was a
difference of opinion as to whether the money should be spent for a monu
ment to the dead or a home for the liv
ing. The Confederate home, at Hlgginsvxllle. Mo., was built first Then the funds for the monument were raised.
There was much discussion as to which direction the Confederate soldier should face north or south. It was finally decided that he should face the north, the unreconstructed element of the Confederates arguing that: "No Confederate soldier ever turned his back to the enemy."
Queen Victoria Honored Today By Most Imposing Ceremonial
DEFENDED HERSELF WITH HATPIN; DEAD Chicago, May 17. The body of a woman, apparently the victim of an attack remarkable for Its brutality, was found by the crew of an eastbound Illinois Cenral freight train at the point where the Illinois Central railroad crosses the St Charles road near Elgin. The scene of the murder was only a mile from Oaklawn, where , little more than 34 hours before, the festivities
of Miss Bell Dunham's marriage to
Count Adomaro Aalmarl Morelli, of Florence, Italy, were celebrated. The skull and the right temple were
crushed In and the throat was cut. An attempt evidently had been made to burn the body, which was charred
from the !:nees to the chest
Clutched in the woman's right hand
was a hatpin, indicating that she struggled fiercely with her assailant before she was overcome. A yard away from the body a stained kitchen paring knife waa found. A number ot crimson stained bowlders, with which her head had been beaten, were lying

(American News Servlee) London. May 17. The pages of English history would be turned back in vain to find a parallel for the imposing ceremonial that London witnessed yesterday at the unveiling ot the great national memorial to Queen Victoria. Patriotism and love of country formed the keynote of the demonstration. The German emperor and empress, the king and queen of Norway and representatives of practically all the the royal houses of Europe, together with members of the British royal family participated in the demonstration. Brilliant features of military pageantry were also Included In the program. The playing of massed bands, the thunder of deep-throated cannon, the ringing of catedral bells and the gorgeous trappings of military power all these contributed to the impresslvesneas of the pageant Sovereigns and princes, military and and naval officers, diplomats and court functionaries in brilliant uniforms, and archbishops and bishops in the crimson, purple and gold Insignia of their office took part In the ceremonies. And yet ofter all the gorgeousness of the display, there yet remained the most impressive of all the presence of the hundreds of thousands of common people, who stood with heads uncovered and listened reverently to the eloquent words of praise bestowed upon Victoria the Good. No greater tribute to the memory of man or woman was ever presented than this silent homage of the people. The ceremony of unveiling occurred In the great circular space In St. James' park facing Buckingham palace which in London was the queen's official home. Surrounding the memorial were great stands to accommodate the royal guests, officials of state, foreign diplomats, members of parliment and others invited to take part in the exercises. One section was set aside especially for distinguished guests
from oversea dominions, many of
whom have already arrived from Canada, Australia and other parts of the empire to attend the Imperial Conference. The arrangements for the dedication were of the most perfect and elaborate character and every detail of the program was carried out without a hitch. The war department had the supervision of the military pageant, while the Archbishop "of Canterbury prepared the religious service. King George, too. Is also entitled to much of the credit for the success of the program. His Majesty, who seems to have Inherited his father's marvelous capacity for attending to details, has for several weeks past given personal attention to the arrangements for the unveiling. Early In the day he visited the memorial to satisfy hlself that not the smallest detail had been neglected. Not until he had assured himself on this point was his equerry. Colonel Sir Frederick Ponsonby, who had personal charge of all the arrangements, prepared to signify that the
J program might be proceeded with. I All branches of the service were rep
resented in the military procession. Two hundred life Guards In their magnificent uniforms and mounted upon black chargers cleared the way for the carriage occupied by royalty. A conspicuous feature of the procession was a deputation of officers and noncommissioned officers of the 1st dra-

goon regiment of the Guard, the German army regiment of which Queen Victoria was colonel-in-chief. The entire route of the procession was lined
with troops, with military bands stationed at regular Intervals. Back of the troops were the spectators, a veritable sea of faces, men, women and children, while thousands of others occupied doors and windows and housetops. - Queen Victoria Memorial, which thej masses were permitted to view today for the first time, Is undoubtedly the most imposing monument in the Brit
ish metropolis. The central feature is
the statue of the Queen herself, though this is but a part of the great memorial. In addition there are statues and groups in both marble and bronze, fountain basins and broad marble approaches, the whole forming one great homogeneous work of art. The marble statue of the Queen is 18 feet high. Other constituent parts of the memorial are great marble and bronze groups representing "Victory," "Courage," and "Constancy" and "Motherhood," "Justice" and "Truth." On pedestals flanking the stps are groups In bronze of "Peace," "Progress," "Manufactures" and "Agriculture," while over the fountain arches are colossal figures representing "Bravery" and "Intelligence" that is, the army and navy and science and the arts.
Proving a Statement A certain mlaistes, who is an emphatic preacher, ie at times at a loss to give bis utters cee proper weight' for instance, he'll say: "This statement Is as true as is the eight which will follow day." or "as true as that the trees will bud in spring." Sometimes it happens that the doctor has more statements than be has Illustrations to give them weight. On one such occasion he remarked. "This Is as true as the" Here the doctor halted. He paused a few moments, and then bis face illumined "as true as is the statement that some member is yet on bis or her way to church." A few moments later a lady entered the edifice and swept grandly up the aisle. The doctor's face assumed sn "I told you so" appearance. The congregation began to smile, then to laugh. Sympathy for the embarrassed lady, however, soon subdued the apparently uncontrollable mirth.
