Twoty-nl* y®ftf month UwctoMOf the war vu sealed with the blood of the martyred Lincoln. Those who were old enough «t the time to appreciate the loss which the country sustained will never forget the sorrow and gloom which spread orer the whole country. And yet farther back who can forget the dark day* between 1801 and 1885? When call after call for troops was tamed the country always responded. Men left their wive* aud children, youths left their parents and young men parted from their sweethearts, thousands of them to return no more. Do you remember how eagerly the papers wero scanned after each battle by those who had dear "ones at the front, to see the names of the killed, wounded and missing? In those days It wm no uncommon sight to see a wife come to town In food spMtsand return heart broken upon hearing of her usband*s death in battle. Those wore mattors of every day occurrence at that time. But let un hope they will never return. Since then a generation has grown up that doeslPt oven res»ember the war, and thoold veterans who participated In it rapidly passing away. It is meet that the services of the dead soldier should nevor be forgotten, and no more fitting way of keeping him In remembrance cold bav« been devised than that ol annually decorating with flowers his last rertlng place. Memorial day is the saddest,«nd yet the most impressively beautiful observance of our people. Founded as it is upon grateful remembrance of the services of the dead soldiers the day oflers every opportunity for pathetic expressions of patriotism. Coming as It does at a season of the year when nature is at her lovollest the people are enabled to offer motorlal expressions of the reverence and love of loyal hearts for the heroic dead. didn't know rr was ixjadkd."

No moro distressing -case of the inevitable result of the careless handling of firearms has ever occurred In Jhls city than the killing of young George Becker by Johg Davidson last Wednesday -morning. Some one carelessly left a loaded pistol, within easy Teach, in an office. Some one else thoughtlossly picked It up, playfully pointed It at a friend, pulled the trigger and discovered too late that it was loaded. Tho result is the death of an only son. Just budding into manhood, a heart broken lather and mother, and vory sorry boy. Nothing can bring the dead back to life, awd no punishment which the law can inflict wSU relieve the boy who commuted the careless act of the load which he must bear through life. Tho act Is only the repetition of an old, old story which' though repeated almost dally, never carries with It a lesson. As long as firearms are made and fools will leave thom lying around loose innocent people will suflfer the.consequences. The truth of the matter is there are very few Instances In whlohaman is Justified in carrying woapons at all, and least of all in a civilised community like this. Nine times out of ten the pistol In a man's pocket or within his reach will get him Into trouble which he would certainly avoid without It. In the ewe In point it is In evidence that Dale and Davidson had often snapped It at each other "for fun," yet knowing this Dale left the weapon In tits accustomed place loaded, and was present when Davidson flrcd the fatal shot, although he didn't see tho weapon picked up, and had his back to Da id son when the fatal shot was fired. Pointing a firearm at a person is an unlawful net, and the law should bo enforced to the letter. Too many accidents occur from Its practice and the danger should be kept before the public by a strict enforcement of the statute.

When the township assessors make their return* there is bound to be a kick of well developed proportions. In town the real estate appraisement has experienced a large raise, while in tho country It has been suffered to remain at nearly the same figures. The man who has been raised will naturally make a kick, and If the board of review raises the value of farm property the farmer will kick. Even after «N assessment books leave the county board ot review they must be scrutinised by the State board of tax com. ntlssloners who may take a notion to make changes which will cause another kick When the assessors have alt made their township returns to the auditor that officer will at once turn them over to the county assessor, who Is required to make a carefuj examination of the tax duplicates and also of all the records and papers of the auditor, treasurer, recorder, clerk, sheriff and sur* veyor, and to list at the true cash value upon the proper township assessor's books, and to the proper person,^ all omitted assessable property of every kind and nature, including tax certificates, mortgage debt*, Judgments, claims and allowance* of courts imd legacies and property In the hands of administrators, executor*, guardians, assignees, receivers. trustees and other fiduciaries. He has also power to examine books and persons, and can appoint deputies to act in the capacity of tax "ferrets," After he has completed his work the board of review will take the matter In hand. It has the power to hear the complaints of any owner of personal property, except railroad track and rolling stock of railroads, to equalise the value of property and taxable* made subsequent to April 1st, and to comet any list of valuation as they may deem proper. It can alae equalise the valuation made bf the assessors either by adding to or deducting therefrom their value# eueh sums are necessary to fix the assessment at a true cash value. Then after the State tax eommhwtoner* take a hand at it the duplicate* will be completed add placed in the hands of the treasurer, after which the people can call and settle, nut row as xcunus.

matter settled one way or the ther, and then wants to see the order go out foravtrlct enforcement of all the laws on the statute books. Over In Indianapolis a sentiment for the enforcement of the law has sprung up in a quarter where least expected. The Liquor Dealers' union a short time ago took step* to break up violations of the liquor law as plainly «it forth. It also created a sensation by publishing a list of those who it declared were evading the laws, and when the names appeared In public there was a stir of large dimensions. It was charged that the saloons were working for spite and were

Jealous of the

druggists who wero doing a legitimate business. However, It makes little difference what a certain person wants, and his wishes should cut no figure with a policefttania the discbarge of hiis duties. Each officer is sworn to discharge hi* duties faithfully, and when ho sees the law violated ho should resent It whether he has orders from some one higher In authority or not. The men who are working under Davis now have a fine opportunity to go on record on the question. Where they see the saloons violating the law arrests should follow aad the prosecution should be vigorous. It to olalmed that the people want the saloons olosed at 11 o'clock and on Sunday. If that Is the case it should be done, and done at once. One wing or the other of the police force should assert Itself in thfe matter.

HIGH I,ICKN8K AND LOCAL OPTION. Over In Illinois if a community doesn't want whisky sold among them they vote It down and that ends It. Or If they vote direct on the question, flx the license at a high figure aod make those who engage In the buninem comply strictly with the law. Take,' for Instance, the town of Danville. It has forty galloons, each one of which pays a license ot 81,000 a year. The law requires them to close at 11 o'clock each night, and when that hewr arrives they all close promptly. No one thinks of violating the law, because they know it would be punished, and as all are twsated alike no one complains. They go home at regular hours and never visit their plaeeeof business on "Sundays. They make Just as much money and have a much batter time than their brethren In this city, who lost the door key years ago and have never been able to lock the door since. Except those who have business o*Jt, the streets are all-olear after 11 o'clock. Under the Illinois law those engaged In the saloon business are compelled to keop regular hours, and' enjoy t&elr rest, whllo here every man goes as he pleases, to the annoyance of the temperance people and the ruination of their own health. Under the Terre Haute system ihe men who would close are compelled to keep open or lose their trade to those who do. It would be bettor for all parties concerned If the saloon men would agree among themselves to close at tho times required by law, but as they will not agree on that point they should be mad« to do tt. It would make the business more respectable, would give people generally a rest from the Association of Kickers, and drive to silence the opposition which is dlreoted so stnrnely against the liquor traffic. files'® l'ROG ITflSrVKllttttK HEADING.

In these days of progressive euchre and kindred games It Is refreshing to find something now in the progressive line under the tun. The Minneapolis Spectator comes to tho front with the game whoso name heads this paragraph. It consists of scripture recitations. Tho company divides into a num tor of groups or circles. In each circle some one Is chosen to act as Bible reader. One of the players starts tho game by stating where the verse of scripture ho Is going to quote may be found. The Bible reader finds the place and reads the verse. If the player repeats It correctly he counts one point for each word In tho verse. If he falls he counts the some number of points against himself. He keeps two columns of figures—one for points won and the other for points lost. When each of the players at the head table have tried four verses the bell Is rung and the game ends In all the circles. Tho columns of figures are added up and the difference Is as certalned. At the head clrclc the two most successful players remain and the others go to tho foot. At the other circles the two most successful players progress. Tho winners of the game are determined In several ways. The one who Is at the head circle the most times Is the winner of the head points. The one who Is at the foot circle the most times Is tho winner of the foot points. The player who progresses the largest number or times wins the progressive points. In case a prise Is given In the game It should always be a bible. So far as can be learned the game has not struck this city, but when it does It will doubtless be quite popular tn all circles ot society.

Geraldine's Letter.

It Is sfcld that superstition lingers with Urmeat hold In the minds of women. Perhaps it doee. There are not a few ot us who are careful to see the new moon over our right shoulders, so that the wish we make at evening may come to pas* at noon. Others have a superstition about the unlucklness of Friday, and will begin no Important undertaking on that day. Others still are very careful about the way they handle a lookingglass, fearing the seven years bad lack which Is said to follow the breaking of one. Another will hot near or own an opal, because in spite of its groat beauty, sooner or later it will bring misfortune to its possessor. There is scarcely a woman to be found who will sit with thirteen at the table. A hostess in giving a company always takes the greatest pains to guard against the unlucky thirteen. And yet the Thirteen club In New York gave a ladies' dinner recently in whl4b there were thirteen table* with thirteen people at each table there were thirteen courses, Mid the dinner wax set thirteen minutes after eight. After dinner speeches were lost thirteen minutes tn length. So It seems there are a few brave women In the world, a few that even the thirteen at tabic super*tiUon does not caret If they can succeed in having their example of a thirteen minutes' speech followed, if those who make such speeches could only .contract the superstition thai it I# mortally unlucky to talk longer, what a life Is before the dlopr out, Any man may make a good living speech In that time, whether WMitms or filppant.

Edwin Long, of the Royal Academy, died last week In his home in Hemp*t«ad. England. He waaoneof the tw*t known of mod* era English painter*, and Is well known to American* by tome of his painting* which

have been engraved. Abou Christmas time one of our stores had hanging in its window a photogravure of one of Mr. Long's most popular pictures, "Diana or Christ." His works were chiefly imaginative conceptions of scenes from Oriental antiquity. Others that have been popularized by engraving are "The Babylonian Slave Market," "An Egyptian Feast," "Sacred to Pasht," and" Gods, and Their Makers." Sfgf-|7

I wonder if the young ladles who sit at their pretty tea tables brewing and passing tea in the daintiest of cups, know the legend of how tea came to grow? Tell your next visitor the story. A Persian Prince, on his way to meet his betrothed, vowed that he would not sleep until he saw her. Alter traveling seven days he stopped to rest under a shade tree, and there being no longer able to resist the temptation he fell into a sound sleep. When he wakened up he was so sorry he cut off his eyelids and threw them on the ground. From them grew the tea plant. It is rather unfortunate that the story stops here, because It would be Interestlngtoknow what the young woman thought of a sweet* heart without any eyelids, and whether it Would be possible lor theflt to grow again.

Sitting one day last week where I had an opportunity of looking for some time at the passers-by on Main street, among other things I noticed a fine looking body of men In uniform going to the funeral of one of their brethren. I counted eight men In this procession smoking, and it Is no uncommon thing to see men in carriages with a cigar in their mouths following the body of a friend to the grave, it seems to me It shows a lack of the respeot due on such an occasion. Tolstoll assumes In his recent treatment of the tobacco question that the continual smoking that Is becoming so general produces marked Individual selfishness. When one comes to think a little about It, It certain^ looks as If such Is the case. Men who are considerate and courteous to an extreme in all the relations of social and domestic life, are not always so In their tocacco. They Ignore or show contempt for all regulations made for the protection of the air that others must Inhale, they do not hesitate to override them, and extreme rudeness Is not Infrequent if any hint is given that they are straining the confines of good breeding. We are living In a period of great refinement. Keen minds are devising new and varied enjoyments, as well as seeking immunity from all that causes suffering or annoyance. New pavements render our thronged streets more quiet, brilliant lights dispel their darkness, while all dealers unite In charming the eye of the passer-by with beautiful exhibits but the air is still poisoned with smoke and it would puzzle a chemist to name the ingredients that are being consumed In pipes, cigars and the nasty cigarette. The man who does not smoke has slender protection. He registers at his hotel with cigarettes under his nose, he writes a letter with his next neigh

Numbers of well-meaning people w%? desire salvation by way of the Presbyterian formula are patiently waiting the revision of faith which has been in progress for some years. Meanwhile there are scores of other plans of salvation which might be examined pending the revision.

Elling Chrlsen, a Norwegian, discovered recently the house occupied three centuries ago on the north coast of Nova Zembl* by William Barents, the Dutch explorer. The house was completely covered with snow and Ice. The various articles found in It have been placed in the marine department in Hie Bauge. They include an old clock, a 3 aadrant Invented by Plancius, the founder of the theory of open polar seas a float, a "History of China" and a "Navigator's Manual."

When Ward McAllister first came into prominence before the general public, as the result of his now famous remark aboutsociety being limited to 4M, he shunned reporters and rarely allowed himself to be interviewed. At that time he was a very hard man to get at and only occasional glimpses of him could be obtained by the reporters. Since the continental hall, however, Mr. McAllister «w«ms to have^ become smitten with a likin* for reporters and he la no longer the frigid being that be once was. What 1* more be watches the newspapers closely and cuts out all the reference* to himself, which he pastes la •crap-book* kept for that purpose. The number of allusion* to him and interview* with him that have been printed since he lifted the veil of tsMvcnm surrounding him must be wry huge, since he has now three scrapbooks fulfor very near to ft.

He who leaves a trail of nauseating smoke as he threads a crowd would commit no other paralel rudeness he also enters a car redolant of tobacco, be who stands In the vestibule of a limited train and enriches the indraught with cigarette fumes, would stand for hours to give an Invalid his seat, but he never realises that there are those In that car to whom his smoke will give a lasting headache. And so it goes, courtesy, high-breeding and self-forgetful generosity In all the lighter avid graver relattons of life, smoking too often excepted.

Mr. Andrew Carnagle Is the most prollflo monument builder of the 10th century. One scarcely finishes reading about a church, a hospital or a library that he has given until he is forward with another princely gift. His latest Is a music hall given to New York and which was formally opened last week. Its exterior Is the handsomest of any building of the kind In the city and its Interior all that could be desired In the way of beauty and appropriateness. Bishop Potter made a very felicitous speech and there was much good music. The orchestra was conducted by Walter Damrosch and Tschalkowsky, the Russian composer, and the criticisms were not very complimentary to Mr. Damrosch.
