Foley, representative of the United States Wood Preserving Company,arrived at Danville on Mon day evening and under his supervision Tuesday morning the work of laying the pavement in the driveway of the bridge was began. , The beginning of this important branch of the bridge work was attend ed with some ceremony. The two first blocks were laid by Miss Eleanor Wyant, the twelve year old daughter of Mr. and Mr? Jesse B. Wyant, Mill and Front street. As the young lady was placing the blocks in position the scene was photographed by Mr Foley and thus will be preserved a very in teresting picture connected with the construction of the bridge. The laying of the blocks was begun at the Southern end of the bridge aud was confined to the trolley track in cluding the space between the rails as well as the strip between the track and the lower side of the driveway. The track for several spans was paved yesterday. As soon as it is completed the workmen will follow paving the remainder of the driveway, which takes in the greater part of the width of the bridge. Barry & Caldwell deliver the sand upon the bridge but the paving crew put it down on the floor as it is need ed for holding the blocks. yT/tc. a. notes. An interesting illustration of the manner in which the Railroad Depart ment of th 3 Young Men's Christian Association brings together the rank and file of railway employees and the higher officials, was afforded at Ho boken, N. J., on Thursday, April 20. At the annual banquet of the D., L. &W. Railroad Department in that city more than one hundred and fifty men were present representing practi cally every department of the railway service, while at the gnest table were seated PresideJt W. H. Truesdale, First Vice President Loomis, Second Vice Presideut Caldwell, Chief En gineer Lincoln Bush, General Super intendent T. E. Clarke, and Division Superintendent O. H. Ketcliam. Presi dent Truesdale, in the course of hi* address, referred in terms of warm praise to the Railroad Association as a platform ou which employer and em ployee could meet on termß of cordial fellowship. Many carefnl observers are inclined to believe that the Young Men's Christ ian Association is destined to play an Important part in the solution of vex atious questions Detweeu labor and capital.

Kail road painters were at work yesterday on the gates at the Mill street crossing. They touched ui> the woodwork in a very artistic manner, topping off the long white gates with red. It contributes much to the appearance of tilings along our paved street. One thing yet remains for the D. L. & W. Company to do if it wishes to earn the gratitude of every pedestrian and that is to lay a pavement at each side of Mill street at the railroad cross ing and also at the culvert over the canal. The sidewalks at those places in their present condition detract from appearances and impose hardship up on pedestrians. Leaped From Odd Fellows' Train. LEWISBURG, April art.—Harry Zel lers, who left this place about two weeks ago to work in a restaurant at Jersey Shore, was hadlv injored this morning. It is not known yet whether he will recover. Mr. Zellers oatne to this place on a special excursion train that was going to Sunbury. He did not know that the train would stop here, and when it slacked op a little in the upper end of town he jumped off. He was thrown nearly thirty feet,landing on his head, and sustaining severe injuries. He was attended by Drs. Dumiore and Thorn ton. TBEK IULD A BARD LUCK STORY John Kelly, Mike Cunningham and Joe McCueu, a trio of hobos, were ar raigned before Justice of the Peace Oglesby yesterday afternoon to answer the charge of illegal car riding. They boarded a P. & R. freight at West Milton and on reaching Danville were arrested by Special Officers Par-ley and Simmers. Cunningham was not a bad looking fellow, but the other two were bronz ed and scarred veterans of the road Two of the hobos had hard luck stories, rather moie pathetic than plausible, which they poured luto ttie 'Squire's ears. Cunningham said he hail just been released from a hospital anil still weak from long confinement was mak ing his way home to Havrfi de Grace, Md. One of the veterans was travel ing backward and forward over the [ country in au unsuccessful effort to find jvork. He had been allured to Williamsport and not liking the pros pects there had decided to retrace his steps and was now on his way to Haz leton. Thetnird fellow iuipie-ised with the absurdity of things evidently be lieved that "silence was golden" and decided to say nothing. It was a question of whether the lel | lows should be committed, which meant being boarded and lodged at the public expens", or turned loose and ordered to tramp on. Justice Oglesby otiose the latter and gave them one hour to get out of town. In imposing the sentence the Justice remarked that it would be a good opportunity for ! them to inspect the new river bridge. ! They seemed to catch the significance of the remark and keenly inquired in which direction the bridge lay. Five minutes later they were headed for the next county. What the People Want. Conditions today in the art of en tertaining, call for a man of an an alytical cast of mind, who is keen to recognize the unwritten and unspoken want* of amusement patrons; and hav ing recognized them he knows precise- Ily how to gratify tlieiu. Mr Howe, who will present his latest collection of new moving pictures in Danville Opera House on Saturday evening, April 29th, exemplifies this in the highest degree. This is an age of specialists, and in the ait and science of projecting moving pictures, Mr. Howe is a specialist par excellence. However, it is not alone this that ex plains his great sucjess, but because he is broad enough in geueral experi ence to scan the horizon of the whole world, and with a remarkable intui tion invariably select and present sub ject* that at once attract and hold his great audiences in rapt attention from first to last. It is because he excels in selection as much as in presentation that he surpasses every similar exhibi tion in existeuue. His new collection is brimful of interest aud eutertaiu j rnent for everybody, and a large audi euce is assured. Harried at Trenton, N. J. Mies Stella Fisher, daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. Peter Fisher, Danville, P* , and a sister of Patrolman Charles Fisher,of the local police department, was wedded at 3 p. m., yesterday, to Frank Schulrz.of this city. The cere mony was performed in the chapel at the state hospital,the officiating clergy man being the Rev. Dr. Walter A. Brooks, of Prospect Street Presbyter ian Church. The chapel was decorated with carnations and lilies. The wed ding march from Lohengrin and Men delssohu's march was played by Rob ert Houck. Mrs. Charles Fisher was matrou of honor and Charles Fisher best man. The ushers were William Leslie, John Jones aud Wilm-r South. The bride'was attired in a gown of silk voile and wore a veil of real orange blossoms. The dress of the matron of honor was white organdie. Both carried white carnation'. After a reception and sopper, Mr. and Mrs. Schultz left on a wedding tour which will embrace Niagara Falls aud Dan ville. They will reside on West End avenue, this city. Mr. Schultz has been a carpenter at the hospital for a number ot years and Mrs Schaltz has been an attendant there. —Trenton True American. The Right Name is DeWitt.

East Mahoning street, Saturday night was the scene of a pleasant surprise party. Mr. Wyant, in whose honor the pirty was gotten up. was absent when the guests assembled and that lie was liter ally surprised when he returned home and found a house full of people,await ing him goes without saying. Mr Wyant was presented with a handsome chair. Refreshments were seiv<d dur ing the evening and music was fur uished by William Ashton.

Daring yesterday the trolley com pany began rlin unloading of rails along Kast Market street preparatory to be ginning construction of its line to the Hospital for the Insane. it was ex plained in Council that the Borough has decided to pave East Market street —that even at the present time the property owners are circulating a peti tion asking (Council to proceed with the work. The rails unloaded for the trolley track.it was discovered yester day, are only 4' 4 inches high and are known as the sixty pound rail—a size altogether too small to be used in con nection with street paving. It was the sense of the mem tiers that the rails should be r< placed with larger ones, niuety pounds in weight, the same as are used on Mill street, and in order that the trolley company might be put to as little unnecessary expense as pos sible that a halt be called immediate ly,hence the special meeting last night. Mr. Vastiue moved that the Danville an I Sunbury Street Railway Company be notified to put down a ninety pound rail from tho intersection of Mill and Market streets as far east as Wall stiiet. Mr. Magill seconded the mo tion. It carried unanimously. The bond of five thousand dollars re quired of the Danville and Suubury Street Railway Company was present ed to the Borough. It was read by the Secretary, and after a short discussion was referred to the Finauce Committee for fuithei consideration. Until the bond is finally approved 1 work on the lino can not proceed. The following merabeis were pres ent: Yastine, Heifsnyder, Goeser,Gib son, Feustermacher, Boyer, Dietz aud Magill. I WOMEN'S WOES. Grateful Danville Women Tell of the Easi est Way to Escape Them.

There appears to be an epidemic of cerebro spinal meningitis in the Wilkt'sbarre region at the present time. Three cases were reported from Bres lau, Monday morning by Dr. H. L. Whitney, of Plymouth, who was sum moned to the home of Winceiity Dabi czinski Monday afternoon. After examining the pitients the physician announced that they were suffering from cerebro spinal meningitis. The victims are quite young, one of them being a girl of about 5 years. Ttie doctor says that her condition is critical and fears that she will not re cover. The boys' ages are 6 and 5 re spectively, while the girl is a little short of five years. They werd sud denly attachei Monday afternoon and for a time it was feared they would succumb. Precautions are being taken by the Wilkesbarre health authorities to pre vent a spread of the disease. If any more cases are reported a sttict quaran tine will be putin force. It is feared that the disease will become general at Wilkesbirre and that the people will suffer an epidemic similar to the one several years ago when small pox was the rage. (iirls Will be (iirls. Manager Win. A. Brady is delighted at the way New York received his big musical production, "Girls Will Be (iirls," headed by Al Leech and the Three Rosebuds, which recently clos ed a six weeks engagement at the Fourteenth Street Theatre. The staid "Tribune," called it "a novelty the "World" slid it was "a jnniiile of nonsctHe adorned with pretty girls and festooned with pretty music;" Hearst's " Journal" said, "There was a laugh every minute;" The "Press ' called it "Bright, girly and glad some." Sf-ton Davies of the "Evening Sun" called it—"A bright, snappy musical comedy," and said that "Al Leech the new star scored decisively" The "Globe" said it was—" Brought out with unexampled splendor aud success." The conservative "Times" remarked that —"There was a racey vernacular quality about it all, a vim and intensity of spirits, homeliness of humor such as comes straight from the American heart and go as directly to it:' The Evening "Post" said —"A more enjoyable combination th in Mr Leech and his clever trio ha« not amus ed New York this season;* "The Mail and Express" "Al Leech tuu~t he seen to bo appreciated." "Girls Will Be Girls" will be seen at the Opeta House on Thursday f>veninj<. FLUSHING PROVES A SUCCESS The Borough on Saturday adopted a method of cleaning tlie pavement on Mill street, which if kept up regular ly will no doubt prove more efficacious than a sweeper or the employment of any other means thus far suggested. This was simply flushing the street, as directed by Council on Friday night. There should have b eu no doubt whatever as to the success of tlio plan. Every thunder shower with a good old-fashioued down pour of rain shows upon the brick surface the beneficial effects of flushing. The success of the first experiment with the hose Satur day came folly up to expectations. Almost every part of the street has sufficient grade to carry off the water with its accumulation of sand and dirt very easily. As a result after the flush inn, the brick surface was washed as cleau as a floor, all the objectionable particles, which might lator have be come dust, having disappeared with the water down the various "sewer drops" along the paved street. Street Commssioner E. S. Miller with a couple of men began work shortly after noon, employ ins a section of discarded lire hose found at the Water Works. Beginning at Market street the work proceeded rapidly and by quitting time they had gotten as far as the D. L & W. R. K. crossing. The men had a hard time of it, how ever, owing to the leaking condition of the discarded hose, which kept tin poor fellows drenched to the skin. The hose, which was 150 feet long, opposite the Brown building failed to meet when attached to the first plug above and the one below that point and left a bad accumulation on the pavement there, which has to be hauled away in a wagon At every other point uu der the t-trong pressure from the fire plugs the water not only forced every bit of the dirt out from the joints be tween the bricks but carried it safely off. Now that the success and practicabil ity of flushing ttie paved street is dem onstrated it would pay the Borough to secure a better quality of ho-e for the purpose so as not to oblige the workmen to take a dusking every time the work is done. A Night Attack. Last night the little daughter of Mrs. Brown, as she sweetly and peacefully slept in her little b'd near the win dow, was attacked by a death-dealing demon known as Croup Whooping Cough, and but for the timely use of Kennedy's Lasative Honey and Tar, which she alwa3*s keeps handy, the life of the little one might not have been saved.

Charles Reppert's Valuable Dog. Charles H. Keppert, a Danvillv hoy, now a resident of Fatersou, N. .1., is a dog fancier of distinction judging from the following from tha Paterson News: Dog fanciers are daffy over Charles Reppert's latest find. It is an English bull terrier, American bred, and those who have sized him up consider him the most valuable dog of its kind iu Paterson at the present time. Reppert's new kennel oconpaut is named Amateur Cracksman,and is the son of Ival Doctor. Both are from the famons Earlinton kennels of New York. Cracksman is a pure while an imal with a solitary brindle spot be tweeu the eyes. He is about as feroc ious a looking beast as could be di sir ed, but in a short acquaintance with him he proves to be of a tender dis position. He weighs 50 pounds and his jowls look like a lighter's mug after a finish mill. Cracksman will be shown at the ken uel show of the Passiac County Fish and Game Protective Association, and as it cost Reppeit £I,OOO to get the dog and the leather lash that goes with him, it will pay you to take a look at the animal when he is placed alongside of the other dogs that are to make up the coming exhibition in Apollo hall a success.

Like all great achievements,it has involved indomit able zeal and energy, endless exp ri ment and profound research, but the results are so distinctly superior to the comuionpa!o» moving picture.that Mr. Howe's exhibition is—like Shake speare—in a class by himself,altogeth er above and beyond similar exhibi tions. Mr. Howe will present an en tirely new collection of events from all over the world in the Opera House on Saturday night. The sharp, graphic outline, the bril liancy of background and perspective, the fidelity of every subject and the inviolable integrity of every promise made, has secured for Mr. Howe a clientele drawn from all classes that is all his own, and that is a living tribute to his skill, enttrpiise and en deavor. Game of Base Ball. The First Ward Juniors defeated tin- Third Ward Juniors in a game of bas>s ball played iu the furnace yard on Sat urday afternoon. The scoie was 10 to 4. MEN MINSTRELS MAY BE HEBE A strong effort is being put forth by the Danville base ball club to secnie the Wheelmen Minstrels of Blooms burg to give an entertainment in the Op'fa House here in the very near fut ure. The Wheelmen Minstrels are a fam ous local aggregation, which is keep ing tilings agog in Bloomsburg at pre sent. It will givn two entertainments iu the Opera House there this week, one on Thursday night and the other on Saturday night. The status of the minstrels as a local production can be judged when it is stated that the tal ented Attorney Hon Grant Herring is center man or inteilocutor, while among the end men are Dr. A. K. Ald iuger. Attorney Gere Jayue, Freeze Hicks.George H. Keiter.B. W. Hagen buch and Gerald Gross. The circle is composed of well known and talented Bloomsburg people. It. is a purely amateur effort throughout, the subject itself having a strong local color,being "A Burlesque on the Bloomsburg Town Council." That the Blooinsbnrg people see a great treat iu store is evidenced from the fact that fifty-five minutes after the board was exposed at Beidelman's book store every seat iu the Opera Mouse was sold. It was in view of this fact that the second performance on Saturday night was decided upon. Should the Wheelmen Minstrels give an entertainment in Danville for tiie benefit of the local base ball club the event will take place early iu May. They would 110 doubt draw nearly as well in Dauville as in Bloomsburg,for aside from the interest attaching to the "talent" the subject would prove an alluring one, as Bloomsburg Coun cil has built up a reputation for stren uonsnass, while Danville rejoices in the possession of a Council which nev er "scraps."

Property owners on Mill street, whose pavements were in bad condi tion, as if to atone for delay have all j g..t to work at the sime time laying : new pavements. Yesterday the sidewalks were torn uj) in front of some half a dozen prop ' erties mostly adjoining each other be tween Lower Mulberry and Northum berland streets. Last week the fine ' flag stone pavement in front of J. H. j Cole's was scarcely completed before the oue in front of Field's restaurant was torn up. The latter is not yet J completed. Other pavements on whioh work was begun yesterday were those iu front of Dietz's meat market, James Martin's grocery and Longenberger's j barber shop on the opposite side of the street. At each of the above places the sidewalk was in a very bad condi tion and the new pavement, whioh will be of Hag stone, wi'l be of the foil width required and will be quite an improvement to the paved street.

The street s-iriukler belonging to the Friendship Fire Company went into commis-ion Monday. It took in a large number of thoroughfares in the Bor iogh including Mill sirett, which, it was learned is included in its con tracts for the summer. One sprinkling se 'ine.l to plase the paved street in vi rv good con.iitio-i and there was no sign of dust during the remainder of the day. While the flushing of Mill street on Saturday was found to be very etticao ious in cleaning the bricks later dis coveries have showed that the action of thi' watr under the heavy pressure from the mains has a bad effect on the pavement forcing out the grouting and tending to open the joints between the bricks It is feared,too, that the large quantity of sand washed into the sew er by flushing may sooner or later hived trouble there by clogging up the pipe. Under the circumstances it does not seem unlikely that flushing may be abandoned and that along with the wagon employed sprinkling may be adopt d as a means for keeping down dust in the future. AS TO 01 BOARD • _ OF HBALTB; Among other matters pendiog which will receive attention at the next meeting of Council is the seleotion of some person from the Fourth Ward to represent that division of the Borough in the Board of Health. The Fourth Ward for some time past has had no representation, Mr. Aaron Rookafeller, who was duly elected to succeed him self as a member declining to serve. The matter came up at the last meet ing of Council and the members from the Fourth Ward were instructed to cast about for some well qualified per son there, who would be willing to serve, reporting at the next meeting when an election will be had. The Board of Health in the exercise of its official function has not been heard from recently. Dr Shultz. Sec retary of that body, was seen Satur day. From the very favorable repirt as to the health of the town it would seem that the apparent inactivity ot the Board,which some have comment ed upon, is due solely to the faot that there is no occasion for any meetings at present. There is but one family in town infected with contagious disease of any sort. The outbreak in question ooourred on Grand street, a case of diphtheria developing four days after the family returned from a visit to Milton. The little patient recovered and the quarantine wai removed,when a few days later another child in the family was strickon with diphtheria. The disease in the latter case has also run its course and the card will prob ably be removed from the house today. As stated above this is the only case of contagious disease in Danville. Dr. Sliultz states that the sanitary condi tion ot the town was never better, thanks to the completion of the Bor ough sewer. The prevalence of oerebro-spinal meningitis, whioh is causing some alarm in other towns, is giving oar Board of Health no anxiety for the reason as explained by Mr. Sholtz the disease has not approaohed in danger ous proximity to Danville and there is nothing about onr sauitary condition to contribute to any alarm.

The public fountaio, a gift from the Woman's Christian Tempeianoe Union of town, weut into commission Satur day morning in itsmw position on the Mill street culvert. An attempt to turn on the water revealei the fact that the waste pipe was not in working order. It was necessary, ihbrefore, Satur day to dig up the side walk and see what prevented the flow of water. The terra ootta waste pipe,due probably to the settling of the new groand was found broken in two. The water was turned off during the day while a new waste pipe was supplied. The fountain was removed from its original position near the weigh scales to the culvert upon the completion of the latter last fall. It is now admir ably located,convenient to the passing throng, where no difficulty whatever attends the drainage, while the hand some ornament itself is in keeping with the massive and well finished culvert. The fountaiu was started up none too soon and it is hoped that it can be kept in commission regularly from now until next winter without the in terruptions and annoyances which were common while it was In its former position.

The Danville and Bloomsborg Street Railway Company yesterday pat • force of twenty Italian* at work chaugiug the location of the trolley track at the undergrade oroiling at the P. & R. Railway in this city. Yesterday was spent in exoavatlng for the track in its new position, which requited a considerable amount of work. The lie along the Western side of the undergrade cross ing some five feet away from its pres ent location. The iharp curve, whioh at present binders the progress of the cars at that point will be eliminated. The track will lie a little lower, too, at the Southern end where a good deal of grading will be required in the road way for vehicles, as well as on the trolley track. As soon as the street railway is lift ed over the driveway will be open to its full width, although it is doubtful whether vehioles will be permitted to use it until the grading is completed, whioh should be in the course of a very few days. The street railway company now proposes to euter upou the general re pairs needed on A street to place it In as good a condition as it was in before it was cut down to abolish the steep grade. A great deal of work will be involved in the erection of the long retaining walls required to protect on oue side the property of Aaron Rooka feller and on the other that of the Grove Presbyterian Charch. Several other property owners are affected bot not to the same extent as the two above named.

H.. has already began to make arrange ments for Memorial Day. As might be expected at this date tliey have not proceeded very far with their plans. Hut there is every reason to believe that the day will be observed in the usual creditable manner. There will he the time-honored inarch tu the cemetery, with the school ohildren amoug others iu line ;there will be the usual fine addresses at the cemetery with the ceremony over the graves that belongs to the foil observance of the day. Au effort will be made also to repeat the beautiful ceremony of cast ing flowe.s upou the river iu memory of the sailors lost at sea, which has marked the observance of the day in Danville for several years past. The tollowiag general order No. <> relating to Memorial Day has beeu re ceived by the post: 1. "Killed iu yesterday's hattlu. " "Dying in the field hospital " "Bad ly wounded." "Wounded and in the bauds of the enemy." Forty odd years ago, my comrades, we ware thus accounting for the rosj oheeked, bright-eyed, manly boys, darlings of their inotheis, who with the elastic step and meiry laugh of youth marched by our sides as we bade good-bye to our homes and dear ones and answered "Here am 1," to the call of country, and cheered the sad heart of our God-given Lincoln with the refrain," We are Coming Fa ther Abraham, three hundred thou sand strong." Recall today the hastily delivered message and token from these dying boys as you grimly continue the charge over their bodies or as you sullenly retreated, most reluctantly leaving them on the field. You have sacredly kept the promise hastily made to your dying messmate: "Yes, Jack, I'll tell your mother.' "Sore, Joe, your wife ■ hall get yoar ring and message." "Never doubt, Oharlie, your people shall know what a brave soldier you were, how pluckily you died to save onr colors." As you moved carefully among the dead and the dying over the battlefield after the fight was over; as you walk ed through th < lude field hospital hopelessly searching for the comrade you saw fall, but could not stop tn help, the dear boy who had been your ulaymate at school, and lo the appeal of whose weeping old mother «s you marched away you hal tcsed back the cheering promise, "I'll take care of Billy." As you steadied yourself, and helped to bear across the deck of the battleship to the cockpit,slippery with the life blood of your shipmate!-, the holy of the sailor boy with whom you hid left home to ahip in yocr coun try 's service • Did you ucit premise tlm tls iug hi.%l God for the dead, that vour comrades and their so prime sactifice nevi r should be foigotten.that their depend ent ones should be tenderly and fully cared for? Have you kept that s icre I promise? Our glorious Graud Arujy of the Republic has helped you to keep it. It has collected aud helpfully dis bursed in relief millions of dollars. It made possible, kept alive aud cherish ed the sacted memories aud friend ships of the war. It was established, by the order of one of my honored pre decessors, Commander in Chief Login, and given to (lie world Memorial Day on which day you auuually red« em your promhe to keep green the me mory of your comrades by decoratiug their graves with the fairest flowers of spring, or casting thein upon the sea or the river which flows from the mountain'* to mingle with its waters, which are the sailors winding sheet, and by securing the services of your most eloquent and gifted speakers to recount their deeds of self-sacrificing devotion that our eouutrv might not be disgraced, dismeitibir d and de stroyed, but might live as a nation, the grandest on the face of the globe. II Memorial Day will be Tuesday, May 80, 1905. Department and post commanders will attend to the fitting observance of the day. 111. It is the very proper law of the Grand Army of the Republic, which I direot all department and posts to ob •erve, that the following classic be read at all Memorial Day setvices: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this contin ent, a new nation, conceived iu lib erty, aud dedicated to the proposition that all men are created eoual. "Now we are enagged iu a great civil war, testing whether that na tion, or any nation so conceived aud so dedicated, can long endure. Wo are met on a great battlefield of that war. Wo have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a fiual resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogeth er fitting and proper that we should do this "But, In a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate -we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men.liviug and dead,who strug gled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or de tract. The world will little uote. uor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget wliat they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here iu the unfinished work which they who fought hero have thus far so nobly advanced. It i rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task retnaiuing before us— that from these honored dead wo take increased devotion to that cause for which tiny gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly re solve th »t these dead shall not have died in vain—that this uation, under God, shall have a new birth ot free dom—and that government of the peo ple,by the people,for the people, shall not perish from the earth." IV. Our effloient allied organiza tion, go earnestly devoted to the wel fare and encouragement of all com rades, should l>e heartily weloomtd to oar services on this day and encourag ed to participate with and help us in its observance. V. Invite all thinking, patriotic people to join with us on this day. Es pecially should the ohildreu in onr schools be encouraged to take part in the ceremonies of the day. Under the direction of our school officials and te tchers they can thus bo taught by this great object lesson, patriotism, without which all other learning is worse i Inn useless. VI. Urge the officials and teachers contn 1 ling every school in the nation to hold i atriotic service on a school (lav It 1 ore Memorial Day, at wl ich the i' ioi s l, r observing the day should b i explained to the pupils A emnr .d. we irmg his badge, should be one of che speakers; no matter low bim;lv or even halt'ngly tic may tell sumo 1 ttle war story, apart of his ex periencj,the pupils will be impre sed, their patriotism stimulated and rho good work advanced. VII. Department and post cim mauders should direct and encour go posts to attend divine service iu a tmdy on the Sunday immediately prectduig Memorial Day, and they should re quest clergymen of all denominations to deli\er appropriate sermons to their congregations.
