BURIED AT ARLJNGTON.
The nation's last tender offices in
honor if her soldier dead brought
from distant battlefields and camps
tor muster in tin- Bilent army Bleep
ufx the sunny slop's ol the Na
(ional Cemetery al Ar lington Heights
were performed on Thursday uwt.
By special order ol the President all
oftheQovemmentDepartments were
dosed and flus upon all ol tlietiov
ern merit buildings were placed at
half mast. The ohurch and state
represented by those highest in au
thority gathered at the grave-side
and with bared heads listened to the
solemn words that consigned the
mortal remains oi the fallen heroes
to their final rest.
Neyer since the close of the civil
war has another so impressive a
scene been presented within the great
cemetery. Three hundred and thirty
six bodies oi officers and enlisted
men, but 70 per cent of which were
identified; were consigned to their
last resting places at onetime. The
bodies had been brought from Cuba
and Porto Rico, Congress having by
special act appropriated the money
necessary. Kaeh Ixjdy was incased
within a hermetically sealed metallic
tsusket. The long rows of graves
had Ihtii prepared lor their reception
and before the hour of service arriv
ed the caskets, each shrouded in a
national Hag, were placed each over
its open grave in readiness to be
lowered. The ceremonies were sol
emn, grand and imposing. The files
of lT. S. troops in their bright uni
forms, the mutlled drums' Bad beat,
the impressive remarks made by the
clergy, the volleys fired over the
graves, and the final Bounding ol
'taps" which consigned the heroes to
their last, long rest, all contributed
to flic feeling of sadness which per
vaded the vast multitude that tilled
every available space within hearing
distance.
As the dead were the nation's
heroes the funeral was a distinctly a
national tribute. Besides the Chief
Executiveoi thenation all the mem
bers of his Cabinet excepting Sec.
Alger, who is in the West Indies,
were present.
For the first time in the history
of Arlington Cemetery a huge num
ber of men were buried in its soil
whose war record was established by
by lighting in foreign lands.
The Sign of the RaJeigh.
Anti-expansionists need not flat
ter themselves with a notion that the
thrill felt by all New York, and by
all the country, at the return of the
Raleigh was simply because that
ship shared in the winning of a sea
tight. ( km pared to the broader re
sults ol Dewey's victory the battle
of Manila is a mere flash in the pan.
The Raleigh is welcomed as a sign
of the extension ol the prestige,
power and dominion ol the United
States in a quarter of the world
where American power, prestige and
dominion were most to le desired at
thi-i time. The political results of
what the Raleigh did overshadow her
actual deed. Of that fact the Am
erican people as a whole arc pro
foundly and keenly conscious. And
they rejoice at it.
Welcome to the Raleigh! lie-
turning here the first from Dewey's
fleet she represents not only one of
the most brilliant victories, but one
of the most momentous events in the
history of the United States, and,
considering the state of the great in
ternational struggle tor existence,
one of the most fortunate.
To Stop the Lying
A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to require fishermen to
swear to the weight of fish caught
and pay a tax on same. This bill
is aimed at the man who exaggerates
as to the weight of the fish he
catches, but would not affect the
man whose biggest fish always es
capes from his hook.
Licking All Around.
.Some unknown patriot gets off
the following ; "I've licked a dozen
stamps to-day for telegrams I sent;
I licked and stuck one on a bill, j
with which I paid my rent. I licked I
a stamp to paste upon a note which
I renewed, and then I licked another
to make the mortgage gotxl. I'vcj
licked these stamps to show that I j
respect my country's will, and now I
I'd like to li k the man who intro
duced the bill."
Watch Your Change.
The Lewistewn hrec Pirn says:
We arc reliably informed that an at
tempt is to lie made to flood our
neighliorhood with counterfeit mon
ey. Our informant tells us that $8j
000 in counterfeit currency arrived
at this place in one package, and
that a consignment of counterfeit
dollars and half dollars has also been
received.

Wabash Separates Man and Wife'.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Wabash, Ind., April 12. In the
Wabash Circuit Court to-day Wal
ter M. Hammond, son of a promi
nent citizen, filed a suit for divorce
against his wife, Ilcrtha, on peculiar
grounds. Mrs. Hammond was a
Toledo (O.) girl and they wcre mar
ried in 1S!G. They lived together
until 1897, when Mrs. Hammond
declared that she could not endure
to live in Wabash, and gave Mr.
Hammond the alternative of moving
out or consenting to a separation.
She averred that she loved him and
that her domestic life was as happy
as she could wish it, but she didn't
want to live in Wabash. Hammond
was firm, and she packed up and re
turned to her parents. The two
years necessary to constitute a case
of abandonment, have just expired,
hence the action. There are no other
grounds alleged.
Robbed An Old Lady.
Provincetown, Mass., was recently
set in an uproar by the report that
one of its citizen, Mrs. Thankful
Chapman, 74 years old and a native
of the town, had lieen the victim of
a bold and aggressive robber. Sev
eral unsuccessful attempts were made
to discover the perpetrator of the
crime and recover the stolen prop
erty, but it was several weeks before
his identity was fully established.
In the meantime his victim was suf
fering greatly both in body and mind
and it was feared she would not sur
. vive the shock. In speaking of her
condition at the time Mrs. Chapman
says :
"I Buffered extreme nervousness
for some time ; could not sleep : but
would lie night after night tossing
and rolling about until I would be
come completely worn out. At spells
! my mind was greatly contused, and
sometimes a numbness would settle
down over me and I could not move.
i Then I began taking Dr. Miles'
Nervine and the very first night I
slept like a Dane. 1 got netterirom
that day on, and am now enjoying
excellent health."
Dr. Miles' Nervine is grip's
greatest enemy. It drives out the
poisonous germs, replenishes the
nervous forces, overcomes the exces
sive waste of the system and replaets
till that disease has rohlxtl it of. It
feeds and cures.
A trial package of Dr. Miles' fa
vorite treatment tor the grip, con
sisting of Dr. Miles' Nervine, Dr.
Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills, will
be sent absolutely free to any person
sending name and address on a postal
card, requesting the samples and
mentioning the name of the Post.
Address, Dr. Miles Medical Co.,
