dresses will bo iimdo nnd prayer of
fered. The slurring wMll bo conduct
ed by n selected choir nnd the music
will undoubtedly bo of n high order,
as pieces specially prepared for tho
occasion have boon practiced. On
t tin humbly evening previous, there
will bo a sermon preached in the
Presbyterian 'hurch to the post by
Per. Thomas Nichols, from a text
embodying a patriotic sentiment,
and appropriate to the occasion.
The vetemnsnrn expected in n body.
After decorating the graves in tho
Milford Cemetery, the procession
will visit the Montngnn Cemetery
for n like purpose, and it is cxper
ted that an address will lie deliver
ed at that place by the paster of the
M. E ( 'hurch, at Hainesvilh. Our
citizens should generally turn out
and show by their presence their
interest in the observance of the
Memorial Dny exorcises. The
ranks of tho veterans are growing
thinner nnd every year many an
juver the final roll call. Soon the
comrades will all have fought the

rades who liavo gone before. The
younger generation should bo taught
the lessons of patriotism and to re
vere' the memory of those who
fought the battles for the preserva
tion of the lTnion, so that in the
coming years when the setting sun
shall shine on the grave of tho lat-t
comrade, loving hands will continuo
to strew the silent mounds with flow
ers, and place over them the emblem
of n f roe and happy country.
Small-Pox From Cuba.
The State Board of Health calls at
tention to tho fact that small-pox
introduced into this country more
than a year ago from Cuba whore
it always runs riot, has been gradu
ally making progress northward.
Tho board urges as a protection, the
necessity nnd importance of vacci
nation. Thoro wero in Florida, in
1H97, 62 cases and in Jnnuary, this
yoar, 12 cases. In Alabama, in W)7,
it became- epidemic and in March
1898 four hundred cases wero report
ed, and in all thero ha vo been over
ono thousand cases in that State.
In Tennessee there hnvo been lf,2
cases and in Georgia 374. North
Carolina and South Carolina report
42, Kentucky 177, Virginia 5, Ohio 7
and the District of Columbia 2. The
disease has reached this State, two
cases having been reported in Philn,,
tho subjects being operatives in a
cotton mill. The inference seems
natural that the contagion mny have
been brought in cotton from the
South. In view of those facts, it
would be ft wise precaution for all
thoso w ho have not been vaccinated
to have it done now.
Author of "Looking Back

Edward Bellamy, author and hu

CHUN KVENTS.
Tho history of the day for May 20,
was that Admiral Cervera's sqund
ron had lieen officially reported at
Santiago do Culm, and that Snnip-
ill's scouts were watching the fleet,
and would move to destroy it,
General M-M-ritt received final in
structions regarding the ocoupatl m
of the Philippines, Sigasta dechtr
ed Spain will accept no peace which
deprives her of any territory.
Polo do Pernnho left Canada fr
Li verpei 1.
Nearly ten thousand Spanish
troops worn embarking at Bnrcelona
to hi il for Manila.
The movements or locations of the
three fleets were not known tor
several succeed'ng days The gov
eminent for wise and obvious reas
ons concealed all information from
the public, and while many conject
ures were made, and numerous re
ports current, nothing definite was
known. The whereabouts of the
Oregon and her companions, the
Marietta, and Niehteroy, were not
known, though reports Tuesday, lo
cated them at Para, Brazil
There has boon so far no naval en
gagement in Cuban waters and
there is n strong belief that- the
Spanish fleet is at. or near Santiago
do Cuba. It is surmised that, the
government, is taking active meas
ures for the invasion of Cuba in the
near future.
The latest war news is that the
battleship Oregon arrived at Jupi
ter Inlet, Florida, May ?4. nnd li ft
noxt day.
Tho general belief is that Admiral
Cervera's fleet is at Santiago, shut
up in the harbor by Schley's squad
ron.
President McKinley has issued
proclamation calling for 75,000 more

Pulpit Uttaranoes.
unr myion correspondent on
nnothor pnge makes somo strictures
on tho utternnc.es of a minister from
his pulpit regarding tho personal bo
lief of a mombor of that communi
ty.
Without special reference to this
case, our Judgment is that whore
an individual makes no ostentatious
display of 1iis opinions, and does
not parade or urge them from the
rostrum, ho has tho right of immu
nity from a publio personal attack.
If liko Ingorsoll he goes about pro
claiming his viows, ho invites an
swer and criticism from nil believ
ers whose duty and privilege it is
to defend Christianity, in tho same
op.in manner, from tho attacks of
thoso who would detract from it.-
touching or attempt to destroy its
beneficent influences. A minister
should decry sin, that is his calling :
ho should controvert unbelief, that
is his duty ; ho should strive to
arouse sionors to repentance, that
is his objoot in preaching tho Gos
pel of salvation ; but when ho sin
gles out an humble member of his
comninnity as tho embodiment of
any particular vice, or tho personi
fication of an especial form of un
belief, bo transcends the bounds of
Ins duty and privilege, and descends
from tho lofty pinnacle of a toucher
of tho doctrines of tho lowly Naza
rene, to the level of a viliiflerof
character. Our Master was not one
who wont about pointing tho finger
of condemnation nt, or reviling
thoso who spurned his gospel, and
scorned his teachings, but Ha ruth
er with meek and lowly spirit bore
their insults, suffered their scorn,
and sought by gontlo persuasion
to turn them from the darkness of
their ways. Is tho servant wiser
than tho Master?
Lightning Arresters.
Lightning affected many tele
phones and poles last week in Mon

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
SNOT Ills WlirE. KM I.KIl niMSKl.F
Port Jervis hada sensational trng
edy last Saturday, shortly bolero
noon, when Gregory Lundy , of Hart
ford, Connecticut, shot and killed
his young wifo, Mellicent, who was
visiting at tho home of Mrs. Lina
Singsen, on Hudson Street.
Tho couple was married three
years ago nnd lived in Hartford un
til last Spring, when tho husband
being out of employment, tho wifo
suggested that she go nnd reside
with her Aunt, Mrs. Jienry D. Tor
huiie, of New Durham, Conn., with
whom she bail lived before her mar
riage n-ud by whom she bad been
raised from a child. Sho was tho
daughter of Horace Osf randnr nnd
her mother died when sho was quite
young. Tho Aunt came to Port. Jer
vis on a visit and Mrs. Lundy came
on and had been with her for the
past two weeks. Thursday night,
preceding the shooting, the husband
who was a man some forty years old,
while his wife was but twenty ono,
c-.inie on apparently with a deliber
ate intention of committing the
crime, though his- actions gave no
indication of his purpose. His wife
received him cordially, though his
visit was unexpected. Saturday,
when she went to her room to dress
for dinner, her husband followed
her mid soon after, three shots wero
heard in quick succession. Aid was
summoned and she was found with
two bullet wounds in her temple,
while near by her husband stood
at a window with n pistol shot in his
head. The wifo died in i few mo
ments, but tho husband lived until
evening. From a letter left by him,
it seems his intention was to kill
Mrs. Terhune nlso.
Jealousy is ascribed ns his motivo
for tho not though tho wife's con
duct had never boon such ns to war
rant any reason for it. Ho had on
several occasions, howover, mado
throats but thoy wero treated light
ly by her, and evidently sho was
wholly unaware of his murderous
design.
Tax Assessments In N. J.
Remember that the assessor will
begin his work on the 20th of 'day
every year.
A recent decision of tho Supremo
Court makes it mandatory that all
property shall bo assessed to Its
true value. How that value is to
bo. ascertained is explained in the
law to tho assessors, so do not go
around and curse tho assessor if
you do not do your own part, accord
ing to luw.
Remember, also, and bo jmrtionlar
to remombor, that tho nssossor docs
not, and is in no wny bound to, ac
cept your verbal statement of yonr
indebtedness. Tho lnw requires thnt
you shall make out it writen st-nte-merit
of your indebtedness of every
nature, subject to reduction, and
such statement shall bo sworn to by
you. Remember, nlso, that the
assessor does not have to hunt
yon up to get this statement, but
it is your duty according to law,
to hunt, hiin up and present it to
him, properly certified to.
Remember, also, that before you
can claim deductions before govern
ing b-jdies nnd commissioners of
npjieal yon must comply with
thoso demands of tho law.
By keeping these few points in
mind you will hnvo the assessor,
yourself and your friends a whole
lot of trouble. Dockertown Inde

Till CK AND OLD MAN.
In the death of W. F. Gladstone
one of the most conspieious men of
the e.'iitury passed awny lie has
left the impress of his great genius
on tho whole world, but especially
in molding tho Institutions of tho
dependencies of Groat Britain was
he powerful. There was notwith
standing bis proneuess to change
his position n cettnin consistency in
his career. Entering parliament 03
a Tory, ho developed Into a con
sorvntivo, held oilloo ns an advanc
ed Whig nnd then led the opposition
to victory In lHf? as an extreme
radical
Me was n protectionist hut hid
ed in establishing freo trade jbeeamo
a writer plending for the union of
('hurch and State but so extreme
that the Tories repudiated it and
ondod by destroying tho Irish estab
lishment. Hn eulogized Jefferson
Davis and tho Southern Confederacy
and yet liocamo the most popular
Knglishmen in America.
His career teaches that nowineas
uresand tho sciences of government
in this century havo developed so
rapidly that the man of action and
talent seems for tho time most in
consistent and that tho people ap
prove an inconsistent advance fir
more than a conslHtant retrogres
sion. He was four times prime minister,
of England first in 1"!38. In lS7:i he
was defeated by a combination of
Tories nnd home rulers on the edu
cation question but the. opposition
failing to oruanio ho was restored
but tho next yeir was ngain detent,
ed." In lS'-iO after having wage-1 n
war cm the government because of
its policy which culminated in the
treaty of Berlin under which tli
Turks were left rulers of tho op
pressed inrlstinns, lie again came
into power. A combination of Tories
and Parnellites sustained his min-
istery until 1885 while ho was de
feated, but in lS8'i he again enmo
in power only to bo shortly over
thrown by tho home rulo problem
He was succeeded by Lord Salisberry
until in lH'Xi when after a hard
fought election hn wns reinstated
and tho conservatives defeated
For tho last sixty years he has been
so closely indentified with the policy
of England that no mere sketch of
his life could give nn adequate idea
of the influence ho has exerted on
tho world.
