' * Exercises in remembrance of those . who fought and those who gave their lives for their country were held in all i Monday 1 rooms m ■ which the qeremonies took place were appropriately decorated with na- j tional colors, and made more attractive by a liberal use of cut flowers. In 1 many of the schools the scholars list- ( ened to an address made by some per- . son selected by the Cook County Memorial Association. In most instances the speaker was a veteran of the war. I The large rooms were filled with the pupils of the schools. The parents . of many were also present. The pro- j grams wore such as inspired a feeling of patriotism, the exercises being opened with the singing of “The Star . Spangled Banner’’ by all present. Gen. I John C. Black, at one building. Con- ■ gressman-at-large, in an eloquent , speech, related some of his experi- I ences in the late war. He called the attention of the boys to the fact ' that he was no older than some of them ■ when he enlisted as a soldier and start- : ed to the front in a blue uniform with a musket on his shoulder. Gen. Black i was followed by T. H. Gaurt, who ' passed through the hardsh ps and dan- | gers of the war of the rebellion. Ho spoke with much feeling. Several recitations were also given by pupils and all joined in singing national songs. Awaiting the Judgment Day. The train bearing the remains of : Jefferson Davis, en route to be reinterred at Richmond, anived at Montgomery, Ala., Monday and the body was conveyed to the Alabama Capitol building, where Mr. Davis years ago took the oath as President of the Confederacy. The scene Monday was a memorable one. Promptly at 3:30 the first minute gui boomed out and the ; procession started. Every window, j balcony, and sidewalk along the route to the Capitol was thronged. In the ' brief time before the departure of the train fully 10,000 people visited the Capitol. The bells of all the churches tolled as the procession moved from the depot to the Capitol and again on the return. Gov. Jones and staff accompanied the Davis funeral cortege from Montgomery to the Alabama State line. At West Point, Gov. Northen of Georgia and his B^aff boarded the train, and thence 'iarnieu 1 Au aM " kVpl up until reach^^ing Atlanta. Men of Little Pills.

H. McClelland, of Pittsburg, Pa., presided and called the meeting to order, and Dr. Pemberton Dudley officiated as secretary. There was a large attendance, over 100 physicians being present, many of them accompanied by their wives. The meeting was of a business character and reports of various committees were received, but there were no addresses, except the words of welcome spoken by President McClelland. The annual resources of the institute were shown to be $9,000 — from a membership of 1,500. I«1h ‘re a Leak? In the judgment of many of the World’s Fair officials who visited Jackson Park Sunday there is a wide discrepancy between the returns given out by the Department of Admissions and the number of people act ually within the grounds. The crowd which thronged the park Sunday, in their opinion, j was obviously much larger than that of the day betore, yet Superintendent Tucker’s figures show an increase of but 2,000 in round numbers. The idea that there was a leak somewhere has impressed itself so strongly on the minds of Exposition officials that an investigation has been ordered. BREVITIES. The Florida House of Representatives has passed a resolution asking the United States Senate to begin impeachment proceedings against District Judge Charles S. Wayne. The Rev. Washington Gladden has received leave of absence from his pulpit at Columbus, Ohio, to be one of the pastors and preachers at Harvard University for the next year. A route for a cable has been surveyed between Honolulu and Monterey, Cal. The total length is 2,107 miles, and it is estimated that it will | cost $1,200 a mile to make and lay the j cable. The Glasgow importers of Canadian I cattle have sent word by cable to the 1 exporters to stop shipping, as the de- | lays, owing to the requirement by the > Board of Agriculture that the cattle ; shall be slaughtered upon arrival, are I ruinous to the trade. Three vessels loaded with cattle are waiting for the ! disposal of their cargoes, and others are j coming, and prices have fallen £3 on j each animal. In view of the fact that ! no evidence of disease in cattle has ' been developed, the shippershave again requested the Board of Agriculture to raise the existing embargo, but the I board refused to grant the request. The Exposition directors were temporarily enjoined from closing the Fair ' Sunday by Judge Stein, of Chicago, in a decree entered Monday morning at the suit of Charles W. Clingman against the World’s Columbian Exposition to enjoin them from Sunday closing.

Judge Lacombe in the United States Circuit Court at New York lias released a Chinaman arrested under the Geary law. The Judge held that the law made no provision for tieporting Chinamen and appointed no person to execute its provision^. He ordered that the prisoner be discharges - from custody and “deported whenever provision for such deportation is niwle by proper authority.” At the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, in session' at New ! York, a resolution was introduced by the Rev. Thomas Walters, that no ! church funds be hereafter invested in stocks which cause unnecessary work on Sunday, such as railroad securities an<l many others. Mr. Renert Stevenson moved a resolution making it in- I cumbent for all members of the church ' who were represented by the synod to withhold their patronage from 'he i World’s Fair if opened on Sundays. ■ The resolution was adopted. The next meeting of the synod will be at Coulterville, 111., in May, 1894. In the United States Court the Hostetter Company, of Pittsburg, has begun suits agaiqst wholesale druggists all over the country, charging th >m with infringing patent rights. The defendants, it is alleged, have been selling an imitation of ihe Hostetter Bitters. The company states that it never sells its bitters in bulk, but that the defendants have b“en preten ling to sell them in bulk. When a druggist or other dealer has called for Hostetter’s | Bitters, the complaint alleges, the de- । fendants have sent him the imitation । instead, selling it to him by th * gallon at a reduced price, claiming that they were able to sell the bitters cheaper because they sold them in I ulk. They have advised the dealer, it is alleged, to put the bitters in Lotties that once contained the bitters in order to satisfy the customer who would b ok for the proofs of their genuineness, and have offered to furnish new labels to replace soiled ones on the empty bottles.

Wm. Wehlry rushed homo fr the circus at Elkhart, Ind., Wednesday, procured S6OO, and slapped it d< >wn in triumph before two sharpers in Jroof that if he lost at the game th< y had proposed he could pay. There m the usual result, with the addition that they continued to convince him of the f own honesty until the circus got away’ from town. The man who grabbed the money and ran away has not been caught.

Back of the main table and overlooking the entire hall was placed a life-sized portrait of the honore 1 Queen. Al»ove it hung a silken canopy flecked with white blo-soms and illumined with waxen tapers tined and hooded In (harmonizing color. Silken ensigns interwoven formed the frame of this picture, which was the centerpiece of all the decorations. Upon the n ain table, on either sideof the presiding toastmaster. Walter 11. Harris, was a floral picture. Amen an beauty roses made the red for the national design, and violets formed the blue I ackgroun I, where great star- of white narcissus wete set with a star for every State. The robbery of the Missouri Pacific train near Pacific, Mo., was one of the most daring crimes that have happened : for years. Ihe train consisted of seven i coaches, including two sleepers, bagi gage and express ears. The robbers anticipated a rich haul, fer on the express j ear wa- the through safe’ which contains money and valuables en route for the raedic coast. In addition to a heavy trainload of passengers, Gov. Stone and State Treasurer Stephens occupied apartments in the sleeping car. The engineer was signaled by the waving of a red lantern. He brought the train to a standstill and six men appeared at the side of the locomotive. A seventh man, who bad covered the engineer with a revolver, compelled him to step off his engine and held him by the side of the tender while four of the banaits went to the express iar and ordered Messenger Hammill to open the door. Hammill refused to obey the command and the outlaws placed a stick of dynamite under the door and blew a hole two feet in diameter in it. The ; robbers se mred a Lag containing SI,OOO i in silver, about $2 <t in currency and a t batch of Missouri Pacific Railroad pay ! checks, amounting to $2,400. They also took several valuable packages, thoi contents of which are not known 3«r the trainmen.

Many buildings, stores and residences were wrecked, roofs torn off and chimneys demolished. A number of people had narrow escapes from death by falling wa Is and Hying roofs, but, outside ol a few bruises and broken limbs, no one was seriously injured. The tornado came from the west and was evidently of a local character, as no damage has been reported from points outside the city. The heaviest sufferer from the storm Is the Louisville and Nashville Railroad wind struck their inillXmcnso roundhouse in tii*i ▼tion of the city, and in aa IF heavy walls fell and the roof crushed in, burying the men at work on ihe engines beneath a mass of brick and iron I-girders. Heavy locomotives were blown from the rails and overturned. When the employes found the walls falling they rushed for the cinder piles, and crouching m the excavations miraculously escaped death. About thirty buildings throughout the city sustained more or less damage. WASHINGTON A Washington report says that Congress will be summoned to meet about Aug. 1.

iTAKES HIS OWN LIFE. • F. H. MILBURN CUTS HIS THROAT AT CHICAGO. — Multitudes Visit the First Open Sunday Fair-Trade Conditions Are More En-couraglng-He nom Crime Charged to »u Indianapolis Servant Girl. A Sad Suicide. F. H. Milburn, the son of W. H. M.ilburn, the blind chaplain of Congress committed suicide Sunday morning by cutting his throat in his room at the Saratoga Hotel, Chicago. He was depressed because he was. refused aid from home. Milburn came to the hotel about6 o’clock Saturday evening and asked for a room for the night. He registered from Denver, and as he had no luggage was naked to pay In advance for Ills room, di<i ' then inquired if any mail had come to the hotel for him, and was given a telegram and a letter, both of which arrived the day before.

He placed both the letter and telegram in his poiket and followed the bellboy to room No. 131, which haa been assigned to him. The boy lighted the gas and left the room, hearing Milburn lock the door as he left. Nothing more wat seen of Milburn that nicht. It is thought that the young man, after locking himself in, opened and read the mail he had received. From the tone of both the tel- 1 ! egram and letter it is evident Milburn ! was out of work and discouraged and had written his father at his home in Jacksonville, 111., asking either that he m ght come home until he got something to do or that his father would give him assistance to live in Chicago until he could get work. But the letter fiom his father told that there was not a spare room at home, ani that financial embarrassment prevented any assistance. Trade 14 Stronger. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Li two ways there has been quite general improvement <iur ng the last week. Better weather ibna.buut most of the country has stlmu.ated retail trade, j and the large dLtrlbuiion of goods has 1 made jobbing trade mere active. Monetary anxieties have curiously abated at many widely separated points, largo loans i solid ed at New York a week or two ago to provide for extreme emergencies in different cities have not been wanted, and threatening failures at several points havo passed w ithout causing much disturbance. Yet the actual conditions do not seemed to have changed materially. There is no definite im rovement n financial affairs abroad, and the prosjectof continued outgo of gold for some tin.e to come has not tittered. Speculative markets show compara ive activity. Stocks have fallen off t > some extent fk m the rapid recovery of last week, the average being atOJt $1 per ■ share lo.ier than a v eek ago. Big Crowd at the I’.iir. A cloudless sky and pleasant air j made Sunday an ideal day, and from early morning until after noon every transportation line in Chicago leading to the Fair was crowded with sightseers. The num! er in attendance on this, the sh at open Sunday in its existence, was 11 \37.’. All the main buildings were open, and many of the State buildings. The officials of the fa r are well pleased with the result. During the whole day not a visitor caused the least disturbance. The electric illumination at night wav the most stupendous disp'ay of the kind ever attempted. Ue ivy Co il Failure. The firm of Weaver, Getz A Co., one I us the largest and most important in 1 the coal business in Chicago, has turned all of its assets, including its mines and coal yards, ov r to D. V. Purington, of the Furington-Kimball Brick Company, for the benefit ol its creditors The assets and liabilities are not yet known, but Mr. Weaver eavs that the former are 11 uch in > x ess of the latter that every one will be pa d in full, and that the firm expects to resume business in a short time. The reason given for the assignment is the tightness of the money market, and in consequ uce difficulty in making collections. Shot a I‘imL.Lt XVtio Sul l Bad Shoes. Miss Fa lie Wallace, of Midville, Ga, daughter "f prominent parents, shot and killed a Hebrew । e idler named Manuel > Rovenweii. A few days azo Itosenweig sold M iss Wal lac ? a pair < f -hoes. She was dissatisfied with the pur base and demanded the return of her mon ‘y. When Rosen- , weig refused she shot him. i-h ? claimed it was accidental and the coroner’s jury acquitted her. Farmer Killed by Flying Timber. ! A wind-storm swept by the town of Blue । Mound, Kas. Two farm-h ms s were lifted up and blown a hundred feet from their foundations. A fartner named Higgins was blown several hundred feet and fatally injured. NEWS NUGGETS. I Nicaragua revolutionists have de- ( elded to proclaim Mora and President until a legal election can be held, when it is believed < x-President Joaquin Zavala will be < leeted.

Two masked robbers held up a Santa Fe train at Coleman, Texas, compelled the express messenger to open his car 3 and tojk everything in sight. On leaving, they said: “Good-by; will meet you at the World's Fair.” The Italian ( hamber of Deputies voted confidence in the Cabinet. The majority was overwhelming. !

Ti e Government explains the increase was rendeiel necessary by the pace set by other powers in expenditures upon their armies. The credits in question will be spread, if need be, over several years.

WINDS ARE LET LOOSE. LIVES ARE LOST AND PROPERTY DAMAGED. Two Men Killed and Many Injured at . Cleveland—Several Fatalities In Ohio— Houses, Barns and Orchards Are Leveled — Devastation and Death. Sweeps AH Before It. A cyclone, lasting only about a quarter of a minute, played great havoc in Lm.a, Ohio, and vicinity. The tornado swept everything before it, and killed three persons and wounded a score more. Half a dozen business blocks were unroofed ana the gas works, Globe Machine works, the Selfridge Handle works,, the Lima Machine works, Bt. James' Hotel, and a score of other buildings were unroofed. The little town ot Hume was also almost totally destroyed. The Methodist Church was blown to atoms and the Church, ot Holiness destroyed. Maniel Miller, a farmer, was killed by the tarn on his

farm falling on him and crushing him to death. The storm was general all " over the section, within one hundred miles of Lima, and damage to the amount of at least $109,0 »’’ was done. Two m les south of the city a path was cut through the woods to a wid.h of about fifty feet, and as clean as though a chopper had gone through the woods with an ax. Everything was swept in front of the storm, including h< uses, barns, fences, etc., whole orchards being swept away slick and clean. U »-s i Clev •! 1.1 I. At Cleveland four men were instantly killed and many in.ure i. A scaffo.d blown from its fastenings by the high wind injured four men employed by th e CleveiandGas Light and Coke Company. A portion o: the plate department of the Cleveland Rolling Mil Company undergoing construction gave way to the storm with fatal results.
