QUARANTINE

E T Drs. King and Davis Order All Dogs in City and . County Be Muzzled. Reports turned into their offices about persons being bitten by appar-1 ently rabid dogs, and agitation for a j renewal of the dog quarantine, has caused both Dr. J. E. King, health commissioner of Wayne county, and Dr. T. Henry Davis, city health officer, to issue another quarantine order today, the order to take effect Immediately after the publication of it. The quarantine will be on for a period of ninety days, this being the time limit in which dogs can develop hydronhobia. Dr. Davis stated today ithat a dog may develop, rabies within two weeks and that it may require even ninety days for the dog to coni tract it. Within the past few days a numi ber of reports have been registered with the health authorities of the city land county by persona being bitten by dogs which, they believed were infectted with hydrophobia.. This morning Dr. Davis was informi ed that a mad . dog was running at large on the Boston pike and that it ' had bitten a number of other dogs and a few people. Dr. Davis immediately : drove to the place from which the I call came but was unable to find the dog or to learn anything about it. Dr. Davis stated, followmg the isi suing of his order, there have been 1 several cases reported to him of a like nature, but that there have been no j satisfactory results to his investigations. Dr. Davis' order specified that all dogs ar'to be muzzled for a period of I ninety days and that the muzzles are I to be made of wire. ' However he does jnot state-that dogs which are not muzzled will be killed by the police or sheriff deputies. Dr. King's order gives the warning that if the dogs are inot muzzled, they will be killed.

On an occasion when Qoethe was staying at the court of Saxe-Wetmar with his friend Dnke Charles Augustus one of the court ladles, when about to retire fer the night, found her candle suddenly extinguished Just before she reached her i bedroom door. Taking no notice of the occurrence, she groped along In the dark, but to her astonishment could not find the door handle. Again and again she felt her way along the wall, but vflth the same result. At last she made up her mind to go to the duchess for advice. The latter, however, was already asleep, and no help was to be had from her. The poor lady did not care to take any one else Into her confidence for fear of being laughed at and so. spent some hours In vain search, only to find at last that Goethe and the duke himself had with their own hands taken the door off its hinges some time earlier in the evening and carefully walled up the entrance to the room. Sounded That Way. 'Miss Brown was giving an elaborate description of a blacksmith preparatory to teaching Longfellow's poem to 'her pupils: "Nowchiklren, -we are going to learn a poem today about some one who works very bard. He is very large and : has great anus that can lift such 'heavy things. His face Is blackened with soot that comes from his great, biasing fires. And he wears a dirty ! black apron, and he has 1 a fire that glows, oh, so red, and whenever he : makes anything he puts it Into his fire and then pounds It with a great, big hammer, which, makes the loudest clanging noise and makes the sparks ' fly about - in every direction.

Curious Choloe of a Wife. Some years ago an . English curate surprised his parishioners by marrying a widow considerably older than himself. The astonishment, was still great' er when the cause was known. The curate had become engaged to a young girl whose frivolous conduct soon led him to regret the step. He offered a settlement for his release, but it was refused. He endeavored In every way to break the engagement, but without success. : "Is there nothing I can do to escape this?" he exclaimed one day In despair. "Yes, remarked the girl's mother, who was present and who had been the prime mover in the marriage negotiations, 'by marrying me." The curate decided If he had to marry one of the two he preferred the mother and accepted her. The young girl soon married a wealthy stockbro- - ker. : Nature Toachos Inventor. "We get our hints from nature.' the Inventor said. "Take, for instance, the hollow pillar, which is stronger than the solid one. The wheat straw showed us the superior strength of the hollow pillar.

ODAY

THE DAY OF

This, the National Holiday, Celebrating the Achieve-' ments of Those Who Fought for Freedom and Unity. We Live Only in Memory.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Decoration Day. This is a peculiarly American Insti tution. No other country duplicates its celebration either in spirit or origin. And none can parallel the grandeur of the achievement it commemorates. For those upon whose graves we place flowers died that freedom might be exalted. Absolute social and political freedom Is the ideal of humanity. And every shackle which binds it is, in the end, broken. - All that is inimical to its play finally nullified. The onward sweep toward its apogee irresistible. The world suffers long. Is frequently indifferent. Oftner selfishly obessed with its own primal activities. Absorbed in consciously carrying out the scheme of natural and artificial selection. But when it becomes fully cognizant of a wrong, of a sore which is eating out its vitals, which is imperiling its development or even its existence, it seeks an avenue through which to right the wrong or heal the sore or cut out the foreign growth, which is sapping its energies and destroying the foundations of its life forces. So it was with this country. When the spectacle of human slavery by an alleged Christian nation became a scandal to civilization, when Christiandom reeked with its stench, when the conscience of the federal community was aroused and gave it no rest until the pain was eased by action, then it arose and smote this infamous institution, tore it up by the roots, cast it into the social offing and forever redeemed itself from a plague spot which bade fair to permanently set back the march of Christianity. Its present day analogy is that movement, represented by Dr. Karl Kumm, the German scientist and explorer who lectured in this city last week, and which has for Its object the crushing out of slavery in Central Africa. But this is merely analogous not parallel. Of the passions of that day this generation has little conception. Of the heat of patriotism, of the intensity of the social reformation, of the implacability of the latter and the bitter resentment of that regime against which its guns were trained, of the national and racial imbroiglio of the whole chaotic state of the social and political fabric, we have almost no comprehension. Nor of the sadness, nor sorrow nor the terrors of war. A war at your door not far away with a stretch of sea between or an ocean intervening. Nor do we think of the aged and weary representatives of this period's tragic activities as other than we see them old and grey., , , , , For it should be remembered that the rank and file of the Civil War army was made up of the flower of the youth of the land. That it was a battle of boys. And between boys.

THE DEAD

were drawn from the young, the strong, the eager. But that despite this terrible annihi lation of the springs of national being, ine latter still exists. The recovery of civic vitality after the close of the War of the Rebellion was the most magnificent manifestation of destiny, if you believe in destiny, that the world has ever seen. Decoration Day, however, has become more than merely a celebration of the heroism of the soldiers of the Civil War. It has, within the past few years. evolved Into a national observance of , the memory of the dead. The most appealing part, of Maeterlinck's play "The Blue Bird" was that symbolizing the land of memory. Which said that the only immortality achieved by the dead was through memory by the living. And this was poignantly illustrated by the joy of the grandparents and little children when the boy and girl principals in the play visited them. The poor dead people were pitifully grateful. They did so hate to be forgotten. It broke their hearts to be lost to memory. There is no moment so terrible, perhaps, as that when the funeral party leaves the dead friend or relative alone with the attaches of the cemetery. When they turn way and leave him, so recently imbued with life, alone In the eternal dark.,, It oppresses you with a feeling of your own ignominy. Of unwarranted desertion. Of unpardonable abandonment. And it is this feeling that Is allayed, assuaged, by such celebrations as Decoration Day. More and more are the dead being given consideration at great national or racial festivals. At Christmas you will find wreaths and flowers laid on the still green or snow-covered graves. The custom of decorating the last resting place on Easter ia now almost universal. And the significance of both is obvious. But Decoration Day is more democratic in its observance. It embraces the symbolism involved in both Easter and Christmas and that of the right of all the dead to be paramount one day in the year. For Decoration Day is the day of the dead not the living. It has almost assumed the proportions of the worship of the Celestial who exalts the dead over the quick. . 5 It is the apotheosis of Memory. iA tribute to the past laid on the altar of the inexorable evanescence of life. ; But above all It is a recognition of the highest ideal of man freedom. A vizualization of that sacred national principle which makes this country the haven of civilization. And of that individual impulse which Is the impetus of humanity toward the attainment of social perfection. Its observance, symbolizes, In short, the divinest conception of which man ia capable. A PLOT DISCOVERED By the Police in Los Angeles, Calf., Today. (National News Association) LOS ANGELES, May 20. Four 43 calibre rifles, equipped with Maxim silencers, taken in a raid on the Industrial Workers of the World, were turned over to federal district attorney Robinson today as evidence to be used in the federal probe of the industrial disturbances here and in San Diego Seven bombs were also captured and will be presented to the grand jury. The federal authorities plan a thorough investigation. The Right Face Powder. Face powder does not always suit a dry skin, and it should in all cases be preceded by the application of a skin food or a cream of some sort. Aolmal fats In creams should be aroided, as it Is claimed that where there is a tendency to superfluous hair the animal fat increases it This may or may not be true. Cream should be rubbed well into the skin, left for some time, then rubbed off and the powder applied carefully. As nothing injures the skin more than the cheap. Impure powders, one should always be careful to parchase a good brand. BOS

OLD SOLDIERS

BEFORE HOSTS

With firm step, bodies erect, and j hearts filled with reminiscences of the ( days of '61-65. brought back by the sig- j nlficance of the day and the patriotic selections played by the Richmond City band, about 100 veterans of the Civil war, members of the G. A. R. post of this city, marched in the pa-1 rade today. Which formed at the court j house, and extended to Tenth and I Main streets and 'thence west to Main ! to the Coliseum, where the Memorial Day program was held. The day was both sadness and joy for the veterans sadness because of the thoughts of their comrades who had gone before them and pleasure because of the tribute paid them for assisting In a great measure to quell the rebellion and to preserve the Union. Several hundred people witnessed the spectacle. The parade was headed by the City Band, followed by the Spanish American War Veterans, in uniform; a large number of young girls, all dressed in white, carrying flags, upon which was printed "G. A. R.;" the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Sons of Veterans; Ladies of the G. A. R Women's Relief Corps and then the members of the Grand Army. On North Seventh street, members of the affiliated organizations of the G. A. R. in the parade, lined up on either side of the street. The Civil War Veterans then passed the two lines and Into the Coliseum, where they were given the best seats. Prior to the forming of the parade several touching Incidents occurred at the court house, where the veterans met and exchanged stories of the war. A number of the veterans' strolled to the second floor of the court house and there read the following tribute paid to the soldier dead and soldier living by the people of Wayne county: "Their trade was not war but peace. "They waged war that peace might come. "The Union they preserved by peace. "A grateful people holds them in sacred remembrance." Every street car going to Earlhara cemetery was crowded this morning with persons carrying boxes and baskets filled with flowers, visiting the cemetery to pay the annual tribute to the memory of the soldiers who fought in the war. The Sons of Veterans met at the court house this morning at 8: SO o'clock and marched to the cemetery where they decorated the graves of all soldiers, both the known and the unknown. The municipal offices In the City Hall were closed during the entire day and the offices in the Wayne county Court House were practically' desert ed. The day was also observed by the shops and the majority of the downtown stores. Many of the stores were closed the entire day while others were open until noon. The Post flag led the way Into the Coliseum. There, all the seats, with the e ceptlon of those saved for the veterans, were already filled and people were standing in the aisles.
