A Correspondent Who Defines the Color
Line Plainly.
For the second time since the observance
of Decoration day, or, as it is now and
more appropriately known, Memorial day,
has been observed in St. Paul, the weather
was propitious yesterday. The rain fall
of Wednesday night served both to lay the
dust and cool the air to a most
agreeable walking temperature, which, fol
lowed as it was by a bright, warm sun and
a temperate wind, made the afternoon all
that could be desired.
The participants in the demonstration,
military and civic, were prompt in getting
to their designated positions. The pro
cession was under the general direction
of Col. W. H. H. Taylor, commander of
Acker post No. 21, G. A. R., marshal of the
day, and formed in the following order,
the right resting on Fifth and Wabashaw
streets :

The formation of the third division is
given below in the mention of proceedings
at Calvary cemetery.
The procession was by far the largest
and most imposing ever seen in St. Paul
on a similar occasion. There must have
been fully three thousand footmen in line,
and the long line of carriages that fol
lowed, the entire procession covering
nearly or quite a mile in length, forcibly
illustrates the growing interest in this
tribute to* the memory of the dead of
the war for the Union. Business
was very gonerally suspended, and the
decorations of business and private houses
was in most happy accord with the public
demonstration t and this occasion. The
military display was especially good, the
contingent from the regular army at Fort
Snelling and the home companies of the
National Guard doing their respective or
ganizations credit by their fine military
appearance.
The line of march was up Fifth to Wash
ington, on Washington south to Third,
down Third to Jackson, up Jackson to
Seventh, where the third division sepa
rated from the main column, which moved
down Seventh to Broadway, up Broadway
to Mississippi, and out Mississippi to Oak
land cemetery.
Oaklitntl Cemetery.
The beautiful grounds now well known
as constituting Oakland cemetery, never
looked more beautiful and attractive than
they did yesterday afternoon, with the rays
of the bright sun pouring down upon them
in a flood, bringing out every leaf and
blade of gras3 in fresher greenness than
ever, and giving oven to the city of the
dead a tinge of joyousness. Some time
before the procession arrived the gates were
thrown open, so that people who had
gone ont in advance to look over the
grounds and appreciate their beauties,
might have an opportunity to do so. All
vehicles were kept outside the grounds, as
previous experience had proved that
they could not be admitted inside with
out injuring the grounds and the
headstones. One of the principal objects
of admiration was the mortuary chapel,
which stands a short distance from the
gate and a little to the left of it. This
structure is not completed, but enough is
done to show that when completed it will
be a very handsnme building indeed. The
people thronged around this building and
admired it, and then broke off into small
parties and wandered all over the
grounds, viewing the beautiful monuments
and elegant grounds.
ABBIVAL OF THE PBOCE3SION.
When the procession arrived it moved
directly to the stand erected a little
northwest of the new mortuary
chapel. The eighteen young ladies,
daughters of ex-soldiers, all dressed in
white, with red cap 3 of liberty, were re
moved from the carriages | and furnished
with seats on the speakers' platform,
where they made a very striking appear
ance, and attracted a good deal of atten
tion, while the members of the Garfield
post No. 8, and Acker post No. 21 were ar
ranged in front of the stand. The
troops formed on the outside of
the two posts and the people who
crowded around the stand, where they
stacked arms and respectfully witnessed
the ceremony. It is difficult to state any
where near the number of persons that
were present. Estimations on such occa
sions are always wide apart. (They were
yesterday, and some people put the aggre
gate at 8,000 or 10,000. Probably there
were 5,000 or 6,000 people on the ground.
The crowd was so dense in the immediate
vicinity of the stand that people
were uncomfortably crowded together, and
the inevitable small boy took to the trees
which are pretty thickly standing around
the platform} so that the trees were fairly
black with the little urchins, who filled
every available branch of every tree within
hearing distance. Those on the outside of
the crowd, and who were not within hear
ing distance, finally gave up trying to
hear and wandered off to other parts of the
lovely grounds.
AT THE STAND
the assemblage was called to order by Col.
"W. H. H. Taylor, who read the programme
of ho day, which consisted first of a dirge
iind then the reading of the general orders
by Commander Simonton.
PBATEB BY BEY. MB. MAKSHALL.
At the conclusion of the reading of gen
eral orders Rev. W. K. Marshall addressed
the Throne of Grace as follows:
Almighty God, we recognize thee as
the ruler of the universe. Thy wisdom is
infinite, thy love is boundless, thy power
is omnipotent, thou "settest up one and
puttest down another." Thou "makeat the
wrath of man to praise thee and thou re
strainest the residue of his wrath." Thou
ralest in the armies of the skies, and
overrnlest in the armies of the earth. It
is not by the might, nor by the power, nor
by the wisdom of men that great moral
and political reforms are secured, but by
the spirit and the power of God. Some
trust in horses and some in chariots, but
we would trust in the living God. It is
with a sense of profound satisfaction
that we read the inscription upon
our national coin. "_» Ood ive
trust." Thou didst lead our Pilgrim
fathers through tbe storms and waves of
tho Atlantic that they might establish a
Christian republic on this continent.
Thou didst give them victory in the Revo
lution of '76 over tyranny and oppression,
and thou didst graciously help our fathers
in the establishment of our free institu
tions, under the benign influence of which
we developed into one of the great nations
of the earth. And when by fratricidal
war it was sought to dismember our Na
tional Union, thou didst direct and over
rule, and bring our nation into a broader
peace, into a larger liberty, into a loftier
sense of justice, into a grander prosperity.
But these blessings cost us much in blood
and life. It is in recognition of the heroic
services of our fallen comrades that we as
semble hero to-day. We would keep green in
our memories the record of their heroic
sacrifices and patriotic devotion. While
we place these flowers, that will soon wither
and fade, upon their graves, we would en
circle their names and memories with an
unfading wreath. "The memory of the
just is blessed, but the name of the wicked
shall rot." May we show our appreciation
of the services of our fallen soldiers and
sailors by perpetual devotion to our coun
try, by a growing sense of the rights of
men, by a broader and sweeter charity for
those who may not see as we see, or think
as we think.
Greatly bless and prosper our country,
our Father, in all just and righteous meas
ures and undertakings. May we be faithful
to the spirit and genius of our institu
tions. Let not the material wealth that
has so signally crowned the labor of our
.hands and brains beget a reckless ambi
tion for mere secular gain, and so cause us
to forget God and the riches that are im
perishable. Purify the national conscience,
quicken the nation's sense of justice, give
depth and permanency to political, moral
and religious reform, advance all true
education, grant us a better and broader
statesmanship, with more purity and hon
esty in politics and the press, and more
justice and righteousness in the pulpit.
And so may we hope for even larger
prosperity in the future than we
have enjoyed in the past, while
we shall transmit to the coming genera
tions the rich inheritance that we enjoy.
O Lord tenderly care for the sorrowing
widows and children of our fellow heroes.
May the nation never forget the debt that
is due them. May they never lack for
friends or any earthly good; may they|with
all who stand here to-day be brought to
the engagement in heaven of that peace
that will never be disturbed by wars or
rumors of war, where sorrow and Jsighmg
will flee away, and where the flowers of
paradise will bloom for ever. Amen.
miss gbeen's becitation.
After a dirge by the band Miss Agnes
Green, of Stillwater, delivered in grand
style an interesting poem, giving a
mother's story of the death of her two
sons, one a Union man and the other a
member of the southern army, or as the
poem put it, one in blue and tho other in
gray. The idea of the poem seemed to be
a plea for decorating alike the graves of
both sides. Miss Green is a fine looking
young lady, with an intellectual
face, dark hair and a bluish
gray eye, with a splendid voice that
sounded forth yesterday like a bugle call.
She was dressed in black silk, with a black
hat trimmed with buds and black kid
gloves. Whatever may have been thought
as to the sentiment of the poem its deliv
ery was a grand specimen of elocution.
THE ANNUAL ADDBESS.
Rev. W. H. Harrington, of Stillwater,
delivered ttie annual address. Mr. Har
rington was a member of a Minnesota
regiment and is now department
inspector of the G. A. R. for
Minnesota. He commenced his remarks
by a reference to the commencement of
the rebellion, a call for troops, and the
actual commencement of hostilities. The
day »'»8 sacred to the memory of those
wh_ li_L-_ died to sayo the country. It was
out of respect for tho emory of those
who died for their country that thousands
all through the north gather to decorate
the graves an- hold religious services
over the remains c; .uoso who are now
quiet in the silent portals of the tomb.
He declared that there was a purpose in
all this display on decoration day. It
had in his opinion a deep and abiding
lesson in it. Thoso who were
left should seek to carry out the great les
son taught by those who fell in battle in
the great cause of human freedom. What
was that lesson? To what did those brave
American soldiers give their lives ? The
lesson is that we should always struggle to
maintain peace. To accomplish this the
dead went forth to battle and sacrificed
all they had. Peace was the great lesson
the Father of his country sought to incul
cate in the in the minds of tne people of
the United States. He stated that some
philophers had maintained that wars were
necessary. He argued in opposition to
this and maintained that they
where wholly unnecessary; that the intel
ligence, refinement and general advance
ment of the nations of the earth, as well
as all their business and social relations
were such as to render the idea of going
to war to settle any difficulties that may
arise between nations entirely inadmissi
ble. It was for peace that the volunteers
went forth to the battlefield. He had no
love for war as a business or profession.
Why did the volunteer soldiers abandon
home and family and accept the dangers
and vicissitudes of the march and
battle, but to the end that peace
might at last be reached nnd
firmly established. The citizen soldiers
who twenty years ago answered to the call
of his country, "gave their bodies as bridg
es for liberty, and their souls for stars to
light the way." Peace is the demand of the
citizen, of the whole world. Every year
the ranks of those who were left cf the
volunteers at the close of the rebellion are
growing thinner and thinner, while there
is no way to recruit them. Every year
there are more graves to decorate and
fewer comrades left to decorate. We can
not do better than to labor to aid in edu
cating men to patriotism and peace.
CONCLUSION.
The decoration of the graves by Garfield
Post, No. 8, and Acker Post, No. 21, assist
ed by the young ladies above mentioned,
and the decoration of the cross was pro
ceeded with. At the conclusion of this cer
emony the well known hymn "America"
was played by all the bands, after which
the benediction was pronounced and the
ceremony was ended.

remarks by Marshal McCarthy, as the
orator of the day. Occupying the stand

ADDBESS Of'bISHOP ICELAND.
which was most impressively delivered,
and listened,jwith wrapt attention, was as
follows:
That you may understand the full signi
ficance of the present occasion and receive
from it your own guidance in life all the
precious lessons with which it is pregnant,
let me bid your fancy wing you backward
over the road of time a score of years and
conjure up before you the dark scenes
which mark that period of the history of
America. They were days when the sav
age cry of war re-echoed through the land;
it was war in its direst form — fratri
cidal war. Men sought directly the life of
the republic. Hands were uplifted to tear
asunder her flag, to parcel out her territory
into rival and contending jurisdictions.
Dark signs of dissolution thickened over
the constellation of the west, whose light
had so long diffused hope over earth's orb;
its glory rested in the oneness of life and
motion which permeated the whole cluster
of stars,and the cluster was now threatened
with fatal disruption. How much there
was at stake! Our unrivaled material
prosperity springs to a great measure
from the vastness of the territory which
our government controls and the variety
of resources this vastness affords. Our
national pride should sink to the ground
as the death-knell of the Union sounded.
The respect of foreign nations ceases;
they fear and envy the great republic of
America; petty and independent common
wealths scattered over the area of this
continent they would disdain to notice.
Yet, how much there was at stake! Hearts
of millions throbbed in agony throughout
the entire world, as the electric flash sped
the news that the republic was in danger
— the hearts of the millions in other lands
who saw in the free institutions of America
the beau ideal of human government. The
republican form of government — in which
the people speak and by-laws of their own
making secure their rights was before
the eyes of the world on trial m America.
The existence of our republic inspired fear
to absolutists and their minions, fond
hope to the friends of liberty. Her disso
lution would for centuries have annihil
ated the hopes of the latter, and strength
ened the pride and arrogance of the for
mer. Our republic no longer existing, the
pealings of Moscow's bells announcing to
all the Russias that Alexander is the ar
biter of life and death, wonld have passed
over the world without a Single great civil
government being encountered to proclaim
that the people are, after God, the first de
positories of power and the first legitimate
sovereign. The cannon-ball, as it cleft the
air across Charleston bay in its murderous
race for Fort Sumpter, was laden with
death to the civil liberties of the world.
It was yet possible to avert the dire evil;
heroes could yet save the republic if le
gions of them would at once spring forth,
buckle on the armor of battle, suffer and
die for their country. Yes, legions of them
were needed. At first the call went out for
75,000, then for 100,000, then for 300,000
and so on, until over one million stood up
on the Dattle field. For the opposing forces
were numerous and brave. Much as we
deplore the aims and ambitious of the men
of the South we confess that their courage
and their perseverance were worthy of
America and no l6ss than the courage and
the perseverance of the Federals proved
that republics do cot nourish cowards.
Legions of heroes! Well may I call them
heroes. It is scarcely possible, as you
gather this afternoon under a soft May
sun over the grassy plot of this cemetery,
within view ot your homes amid a great
city teeming with life and plenteousness —
it is scarcely possible, I say, for you to
form an adequate idea of the sacrifices
which our soldiers made for country's sake.
Those only among you who have made the
sacrifices, who stand before me with the
tattered flags of their regiments in hand,
can realize the heroism demanded and
practiced. You, honored veterans, know
how hearts|couvulsedjwith grief, a3 the last
farewell was spoken to father, to mother,
to wife, to child, whom only a mere chance
would ever again . permit to be seen; you
can tell of the weary marches over wild
morass and through dense forests, of the
painful and lonely meditation around the
midnight camp-fire, of the agonies of the
bed of sickness in the tented hospital;
you remember the terrors of the battle
field, as men fell around you into the em
brace of death as numerous as the blades
of grass yielding to the sickle. The sacri
fices that test the highest courage of men's
souls, their highest powers of moral and
physical endurance, and they are heroes
in all truth who accept those sacrifices.
There was no compulsion, only in a few
instances during the war was conscription
applied for the purpose of filling up the
ranks of the army. The announcement
was simply made and repeated that sol
diers were needed, and the citizen-freemen
turned away from their farms, or their
workshops, closed their stores and their
offices, and musket in hand went forth to
suffer and to die. Well may America be
proud of her sons! She needs not, as each
in Europe, to maintain large stai ding
armies, to be ever bnrthened with the care**
and expenses of war, lest when war comes
she might be found unprepared the
heroism of her citizens is her guarantee
that she will always have at a moment's
notice defenders of her liberties.
Oar soldiers won the victory. Years of
fearful bailing passed ; but a day came
when, at Appomattox, the commanders of
tie opposing forces met and proclaimed
peace, ano| >ver the plains of Appom . t .*,
; when |>eac_ reigu^u, the old fias< waved
; proud and unstained, not one star torn
from its folds. The republic was saved,
and with it the hopes of freemen the world
over.
All honor to the men to whom we owe
the triumph. Honor to whom honor is
due; honor to our soldiers. Poor retribu
tion for all they have suffered is the little
we can do for them; let it be the token of
what we would wish to do. A few
sleep in graves within this cemettry;
over their remains scatter roses, sym
bolizing the freshness in which we
keep their memories and the frag- i
■ance which attaches to their names as
. c pass them down the course of years,
.way beyond the reach of friendly hand,
>n southern battle fields, in prison yard,
leneath the waters of sea and river iie
ens of thousands town them we waft
words of love and reverence, and through
prayer will we unite with their spirits in
he better world. Not a few of the old
soldiers walk yet in the land of the living.
[ speak my own convictions; we are at
times too willing to await their death to do
hem honor. The country cannot show too
nuch favor to their veterans She owe 3 to
.hem her life.
But honoring the dead is not the sole
luty of Decoration day, there are lessons to
the learned and heeded by the living for
their own guidance in life. The patriotism
sf our soldiers perfumes the air; we must
inhale it into our own souls. The inherit
ance of the republic has not lost its value;
we must prize it os they prized it, and as
they suffered and died so should we be pre
pared to suffer and to die if need there be,
to maintain the integrity and honor of the
Union. No better means are there to
.each ourselves and our children our duties
to the country than the vivid remem
brance of the deeds of valor and of virtue
jf our soldiers.
America can well afford to forget for a
lay all ordinary business in order to repeat
to her sons the lesson of patriotism. There
a gain for her through this lesson which
silver and gold cannot purchase. It is not
wealth that makes a country safe, nor rail
roads embracing in their iron bands whole
-ontinents, nor ships covering seas and
jceans. Rome fell while her material
prosperity was at its height; she had been
nvincible when her statesmen and generals
mew no greater wealth than the 'revenues
>f their own labor. What makes a country
s the enduring virtue, the sterling patriot
sm of its citizens. Indeed material pros
perity has its dangers against which we
nust guard; there is a tempsation to
veigh everything in the light of values,
md when money is the sovereign ambi
lon, chains, if they were golden, would be
ilmost acceptable.
War may come again, whether from
_ ithin or from without, and men must be
is ready to obey the call of the country as
they did twenty years ago. But not in
times of war only is there need of patriot
sm. Peace has its dangers, and demands
ts sacrifices. During peace, as during war,
jitizens must be willing to fling to one
side private interests for the public weal.
Republics, more than empires or mon
archies, afford occasions for the exercise
>f patriotism. It is our privilege to do
llars by our votes who shall administer
the affairs of the country, what laws shall
be made and executed. On the votes of
ber citizens, even more, perhups, than
sn the swords of her soldiers, does the
republic depend for her life. How sacred
is the right of suffrage With what
_are should it be exercised! The
guardian of nations, God, will at the
judgment of each one, demand a no less
severe account of our civic than of our
private acts. He sins against country and
against religion who votes to put bad,
iangerous men in power, or who sells his
. ote for gold. It is as base and as treas
onable to dispose of one's vote for pelf
before the ballot box, as to surrender,
through cowardice or for a price, one's
musket on the battle field. There are foes
among us- deadly foes of the republic—
who are on hand for their own selfish pur
poses to purchase us, whether in the ward
caucus, or the municipal council, or the
-tate legislature, or even in the halls of
congress. There is need of patriotism to
_purn the offer and to smite with con
tempt the vile tempter.
Through the use of money and the power
Df intrigue and passion, in our cities, more
particularly.the most criminal classes con
trol our politics. The candidate for office
feels that he must count with them. By
their influence on business interests they
cad men, who would be ashamed of a di
rect alliance with them to be silent over
their doings, and to refrain from opposing
their machinations. For such reasons laws
inscribed on our statute-books, enacted in
support of law and order are mere dead
letters. Public opinion is defied by the
criminal classes, or even made to bend to
wards them. So potent have they become
that a murderer secures in Chicago his ao
c[uital,and brings to celebrate his triumph
ovor law even public officials—
he is a leader of those classes. Another
leader is himself murdered— one of the
largest funerals on record takes place
in his honor, aldermen vying with one
another to add eclat to the cortege, and
when the body is brought to Minnesota for
burial the magnificence of style is contin
lied, and public officials, too, step forward
to prove their respect to his memory. Can
the country long survive if such things are
permitted, or pass without rebuke '. We
need the patriotism that will cry down all
alliance with evil, that will be heedless of
private interests for the sake of the public
weal, that will rally around the flags of
[aw and order, and in civil life, as well as
an the battle-field will hold as supreme the
honor and safety of the republic. Let us
hope that men will spring up in our cit
ies and towns throughout the land who will
proclaim that law must be obeyed, and
when such leaders appear let us in legion
gather round them and sustain them by
3ur moral influence.
lam delighted, my friends, to see this
immense Catholic demonstration on Deco
ration day. Patriotism is a virtue blessed
and commanded by the Catholic church,
and you would be neither Catholics nor
Americans were yon to be behind yonr
most ardent fellow-citizens in your loyalty
to the republic and in the warmth of soul
with which you manifest that loyalty. You
were true Americans when war called you
to the battle-field; be true Americans in
the exercise of your civic rights.
We will now kneel down in prayer for
the repose of the souls of our departed
soldiers, and we will also invoke God's
?race upon ourselves, so that we may
fight so well our battles against sin as to
be entitled after death to the possession
for all 6ternity of our best and true home
—heaven.

To the Editor of the Globe:
This is Decoration day, a day that should
make each and every American heart feel
sad while standing over the graves of onr
fallen heroes. Every loyal heart should
beat with true love for the fallen fathers,
husbands and brothers who fought to
maintain a union that was so dearly won
by our pilgrim fathers. But what man
could stand to-day and see the procession
pass without feeling that the white soldiers
and white musicians were entirely ignored
and placed second in position. What a
sight for a white man to look at, be he Re
publican or Democrat, to see a procession
made up in honor of our departed heroes
with the whole head and front made up
with the colored musicians and soldiers.
What were the white soldiers and bands
thinking of to allow themselves to be placed
second to follow those whom they had
fought to liberate from a bondage which
had bound them in the long past and
would have still bound them had their
freedom depended upon their own courage
to have won. I believe in giving the col
ored peopl . everything that is their due,
hut I certainly do not believe in our own
race who have fought to free themselves
from the yoke of czars and kings and who
have given up life and friends to liberate
an ignorant class of people from slavery
to quietly submit to such an outrage as
was shown in to-day's procession. Were I
a member of one of our military com
panies I would have left the ranks in dis
gust, even if I had to be kicked out of the
organization below par. Such pro
ceedings will lead to a more
serious trouble than slavery
did, for true white men will not always
quietly submit to be placed at the tail end
of the procession with the solid front
made up of black soldiers and musicians.
Democrats think of this and stop taking a
paper that advocates these principles and
sustain a paper that advocates at least
equal rights with the negroes. Do as the
Republicans do give your money to your
party papers, and in this way break down a
party who submit to taking place in the
rear of those who had to be liberated by
the sacrificing of thousands of fathers,
husbands and brothers of a race far their
superiors. Democrats fought to liberate
them, but for God's sake don't help to put
them in your place you have so long
maintained. Decorate the graves of
our departed comrades, but show
the colored people that you will do it at
the head of the procession and not follow
ing them. Clay.
Remember This.
If you are sick Hop Bitters will surely aid
Nature in making you well when all else fails

Kidney disease, stop tempting Death this mo
ment, and turn for a cure to Hop Bitter.
If you are sick with that terrible sickness
Nervousness, you will find a "Balm in Gilead"
in the use of Hop Bitters .
If you are a frequenter, or a resident of a
miasmatic district, barricade your system
against the scourge of all countries malarial,
epidemic, bilious, and intermittens fevers by
the use of Hop Bitters.

breath, pains and aches and feel miserable gen
erally, Hop Bitters will give you fair skin, rich
blood, and sweetest breath, health and comfort.
In short they cure all Diseases of the stomach,
Bowels, Blood, Liver, Nerves, Kidneys, Bright's
Disease. $500 will be paid fur a case they will
not cure or help. y. .
That poor, bedridden, invalid wife, sister,
mother or daughter, can be made the picture of
health, by a few bottles of Hop Bitters, costing
but a ifl 3. Will you let them suffer?

the manufacturers for these suits early last
January, and by so doing had them made up

A DELIGHTFULLY DULL DAT.
Such Was Yesterday in the Municipal
Court— The Bench aDd Bar Adjourn to
Participate in the Hay's Ceremonies.
Business in the municipal court was
light yesterday, as it also was in the de
partments of trade and commerce tn St.
Paul. That such was the case, was not
only proper but gratifying, for it was a day
when the nation should take a rest from
the cares of life and devote its hours to
services in memory of those to whom near
twenty years ago light came breaking over
the walls of another world. It was. a day
to be observed in a manner both fitting
and eloquent, from the pine clad hills of
Maine to the blue waters of the Pacific,
from the rock bound shoresjof Lake Super
ior to the everglades of Florida. A day
upon which the deeds of those whose light
°* life was long since
quenched by the pitiless
dews of death, should be rehearsed in song
and story, and when all should unite to
tender them testimonials of grateful re
membrance. So far as lack of business
in the court could contribute to the per
formance of these duties the same were
performed. Their graves were strewn with
flowers frail but lovely emblems of mor
tality, that seem to be created for joy and
gladness only; the language of priest and
laymen recounted thoir deeds of prowess,
and prayers winged their way to heaven's
chauncery, that the dead had not died in
vain, but passing through the inner pearly
gates of paradise, had long since realized
the ripened fruitage of heroic souls.
Andrew Taylor was sick instead of
drunk. That's the way he sized it up to
the court. He also related that he had but
just come here from Dane county, Wis
consin, and was without money or occupa
tion, from which facts his impressions of
St. Paul, heretofore the result of hearsay,
were none of the best. The court gave him
20 days in the workhouse to sober off and
fined him $25 for getting into a condition
that rendered sobering off necessary.
Vespucio Ohtile, having abated the
nuisance on St, Peter street, he was
charged on Tuesday with fostering, was
dismissed upon payment of the costs.
John Hunt and James Monahan both in
sisted they were sober as Quakers on Tues
day afternoon. Officer Daly disputed
their insistment, and stated that he found
them behind a box in the back yard of a
Jackson street grocery. While not entirely
helpless, they swayed in a manner so fright
fully dangerous, in their efforts to stand
alone, that sheer sympathy for them
induced him to deliver both to the station
keeper at the city hall. To hear John and
James one would think them to be the
most persecuted of an unfortunate class,
but their demurrers were dismissed and
each was fined $10 and costs.
Henry Smith, charged by Ho nry Thur
ber with the larceny of a w_tch and chain,
pleaded not guilty. The prosecution tesri
fied that Tuesday morning Smith suddenly
disappeared from a bed room occapied b_j
himself and accused, and with him a ...» j
watch witness had received as a Christine '<
gift from his girl. Smith was
heard of during Tuesday night
hawking a watch about Seventh street,
which, however, he failed to dispose of. In
his evidence defendant related a story so
utterly thin that it was with difficulty he
could string it out. It was a clear case to
the comprehension of the audience and
the court, and Smith was fined $50 and
given fifty days in the workhouse.
