FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1903.
Memorial Day. reverenced by all
veterans of the great straggle of
'61-'65, will be observed throughout
the northern states tomorrow. Today
thousands of school children are re
oiting appropriate seleoHons, singing
patriotio songs and hearing the stories
of the brave deeds of those who bled
and died that this nation might live.
It is altogether fitting that they
should do this. No nation in the
world holds each a prond position as
the United States and this is largely
dae to the efforts of those whose
graves will be decorated tomorrow.
Memorial Day, of late years, has oome
to be looked upon as more of an occa
sion for sports and amusements. There
is no harm done, but the meaning of
the day should not be forgotten. T,et
all who can, display the colors and
assist the Grand Army veterans in
their noble mission. May SO is a holi
day, but it is first of all Memorial
Day.
Our neighbor over the sound is in
gala attire today and hundreds of
visitors will throng her streets to
night. Totte^ville, so to speak, has
grown old^/ a sin^teyCight. Siie is
celebrating her 225th birthday. Tot
tenville looks rather small today, but
with the continued growth of Man
hattan, the really "old" city, the
population is bound to overflow to
Staten Island and that whole borough
will eventually be as thickly populated
as Harlem.
During the discussion over the site
for the south approach to the bridge,
the trolley companies almost sank out
of sight. Now that the location is
definitely fixed they will doubtless
come to the front and keep things in
teresting until the franchise is finally
granted.
The freeholders have a great task
before them, but their deliberations
have had very good results thus far
and the trollev matter will be straight
ened out in time. First of all, we
want the bridge completed.
Once a day is better than not at all.
The street sprinkler is not a pretty
thing, but these dry, windy days it is
a welcome sight to see the water
gushing from it, laying the dust. As
long as there is plenty of water at
Runyon, it seems perfectly safe to be
a little more liberal than the oity has
been the past few days.
If the Chamber of Commerce carry
ont their action taken at their last
meeting, the Board of Health will
have a chance to taokle the dust prob
lem. We wish them success.
Following the usual custom on legal
holidays, the Evening News will not
be published tomorrow.
1 SOME SOLDIERS TOO YOUNO.
UrMI Precaattona Itoken In War De
partment to Keep Minora Out
?f the Army.
I The war deportment is determined
that the recruiting officers shall re
ject ail applications for enlistment
trout minors. Instructions given tc
that end several months ago, however
hav? been found not to serve the pur
pone desired. There arestlll numerous
enlistments of young men who provt
to be under 21 years of age, though
?aid to be older, leading to application*
to the war department from parents
and friends for their discharge on the
ground of minority, say's a Washington
report.
It is therefore desired that every pos
sible precaution be taken to avoid the
Improper enlistment of persons undei
the age of 21 years. To this end young
men who meet other requirements and
?ay they are fully 21, or even a few
years over that age, should not only be
carefully interrogated and their ante
cedents be carefully investigated, but
A.he written consent of the parents to
the enlistment must also be obtained
if the recruit appears to be under 21
years of age. In case such a recruit
fails to obtain this consent he will be
required to furnish his own swqrn
statement in writing regarding his
age, supported by the sworn statement
of two other persons, and these must
be satisfactory to the recruiting offi
cer, otherwise the applicant will be re
jected. When the written consent of
parents or the sworn statements indi
cated are furnished and accepted in
such cases they will be attached to the
enlfstment papers.
Queer Land Tenure.
At Broughton, near Brigg, in Lin
colnshire, England, some lands* are
held by the following tenure: Every
year on Palm Sunday a person from
Broughton enters the church porch
at Caister having a green silk purse
containing two shillings and a penny,
tied up at the end of a cart whip,
which he cracks three times in the
porch and stays there until the sec
ond lesson begins. Then he enters
the church and cracks the whip
again, finally depositing the purse
and contents. ? N. Y. Sun.

I THE IMPORTANCE OF 1 STOMAGH.
Upon Its Condition Depends
Happiness or Misery.
Perhaps one of the most frequent
complaints of the stomach is constipa
tion of the bowels, or continuous cos
tiveness.
When your food rests so solidly
on your stomach that nature re
fuses to remove it, and usually resort
to some common physic which, while
affording you some relief, acts so sud
denly on the parts affected as to shock
and weaken them.
THE BOWELS, like a balky horse,
to work properly must be coaxed,
and gradually urged to perform their
functions.
The soothing action of that great
Kidney and Liver medicine, DR.
DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE
REMEDY, is gentle and delicate, yet
its relief is immediate and effective.
It is of importance to every in
dividual to use a proper remedy for
CONSTIPATION OF THE BOWELS.
The thousands of grateful testimonials,
from both sexes, who have been com
pletely cured by Dr. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy, is the best evidence
of the POWER AND MERIT of this
wonderful medicine.
