PREPARING FOR MEMORIAL DAY, THE GRAND ARMY POST AP POINTS A COMMITTEE, SOME CHANGES SUGGESTED. Many Favor n Flan to Huvo a Committee Decorate the Grave In tho Moraine and Have the Oration Doltvereil In Town. COMMITTEE O N arrangements for tho oxercites to bo held in town on Decoration Day has been np pointed by Watkin Waters Post, No. 140, G. A. R. David Mor gan is tho chairman and Fred. H. Hopkins tho secretary. A sug' gestion has been made to the committeo that the programme for this voar bo mado different to those of previous years, in that it shall provide for a detachment to bo sent to the cemeteries oarly in the morning to decorate the graves; and that after this is dono, eay about 10 o'clock, thero be a parado of all the town societies over a route to be laid out by tho committee to a suitable placo selected in the town for the oration. Tho commlttoe has taken the suggestion under advisement. The idea is certainly a good one. The route of parade, as usually laid out, is arduous enough for most of those who tako part and tbore are fow who do not dread walking up the mountain to tho cemetery after the inarch. For this roason it has been impossible of lato years to keep the societies together and have a fitting at tendance at tho place selected for the ora tion in the cemetery. If a suittble place is selected in town a largor and more impos ing assemblage can be expected, and aftor the ceremonies thoso who .wish to go to tho cemeteries will first havo a chance to rest. Ills I'ernonnl Experience. Hon, James W. Hustod, while serving his sixth term as Speaker of the Assembly of the Stato of Now York, writes: "State of Nkw York, Assembly 1 Chamber, Albanv, Jan. 16, 1600. J "I desire once more to bear my testi mony to the value of Allcock'a Porous Plasters. I havo used them for twenty five years past, and can conscientiously commend them as the best external remedy that I have known. Years ago, when thrown from a carriage and seriously injured, I gave thorn a thorough trial. In a very short time tho pain that I was suffering disappeared, ahd witbin a weok I. was entirely relieved. On another occa sion, when suffering from a severe cough, which threatened pulmonary difficulties, which I was rocommeuded to go to Florida to relieve, I determined to test tho plastors again. 1 applied them to my chest and botween the shoulder blades, and In less than a fortnight was entirely cured. On still another occasion when suffering from an attack of rheumatism in tho shoulder to such an extont that I could scarcely raise my arm, I again resortod to the plasters, and within a very few days tho rbouma- tisin entirely disappeared. I haye them constantly by me, wbetbor at homo or abroad. My family as well as myself have found them to bo a sovereign remedy,, both for external and internal troubles. I never had but one kldnoy difficulty in my lifo, and tho application of tho plasters cured mo in a week. I desire, as I eaid boforo, to bear my testimony in a public way to their efficacy, and I know of no better way of doing it than by giving you ray personal experience." Gibson Matched Again.

The Great Forcpaugn huuw Too Mncli for the Italny Day Htny-nt-Uomo. Notwithstanding the cold woathor and rain yesterd.y and last evening a crowd which was estimated at fully 15,000 people attendod thn opening performances of, the Forepaugh Shows at Broad and Hunting don streets, Dospite the hard rain in the evening everybody under tho huge tent was as dry and comfortable as he would have been in his own home. Tho grand spectacle, tho "Full of Nine veh," is perhaps tho most attractive series of tableaux over presented under canvas. It is reproduced with tho utmost fldollty as to historic iacts. Tho costumes, chariots, horses, trappings and scenery are copied from sculptured bas-relUfs and statues ex cavated from tho site of the ancient city. The tableaux open with tho warning given by the Prophet Jonah to the Nine- vites, who scoff at him. Immediately fol lowing tho warning, a mounted soldier dashes up to tbe gate of the city, giving tho inhabitants warning ot the approach of tho invading army of Medes, Persians nnd Arabs. In the conflict which ensues the Ninevites, under the leadership of Sardan apalus, tho king, win a signal victory over tho Invaders. During the ft asting and triumphal pro cessions which follow the victory, tho prophet again warns the Nineviles of tho destruction of their city. In the chariot races which form part of the games in cele bration of the victory teams of thorough bred horses are used. Intense interest was manifoited in thoso by the throng which crowded the huge tent. Tho gorgeous spectacle which was pre sented by tho gay costumes, and bright armor of tho porformers during the trium phal march and grand ballet almost beggars description, and tbe final scene in which. Sardanapalus himself applios the torch to the funeral pyre upon which he has caused his riches, wives and slaves to be placed in order to prevent their falling into tbe hands of tho conquering army, is one which holds the spectators breathless, so realistic does it appear. In the ring performance where eo much was worthy of special mention, it is hard to particularize. Among the best were tho female trapeze performers, tbe Vaidis sis ters, in their thrilling rovolving trappze act, tho Ducrows in their aerial ovolutions, upon the flying bars, and the acrobatic per. formaccos of tho Rosaries brothers. This is their first appearnco in America and also tho first appoaranoo of the Vaidis eis tors under canvas. The gentlemen's jockey race was won by the thoroughbred gray mare Silver, rode by F. Gallon, and the ladies' race by the chestnut gelding Ranger, rode by Miss Lillian Kced. The handicaps between a horse and a man was won by the horse, ridden by B. Johnson. The throe-horse tandem race between B. Johnson and Albert Law was won by the latter. Phila. Press, April 26. Married.
