The Logan Guard ct Honor met on
Saturday eveniug and made further ar
ragements for the special service which
they design holding at General Logan's
tomb on Decoration day. It is very prob
able that 5 p. m. will be the hour selected
so that those who attend the services at
Arlington will have a chance to witness
the Logan ceremonies also. A committee
of ten ladies, Mrs. F. V. Tallmadge,
chairman, was appointed to take charge
of the flowers. A special badge for mem
bers of the guard will be manufactured.
A committee on programme was appoint
ed. Dr. John P. Newman sent an invit
ation to the Guard, requesting their pres
ence at Metropolitan church on Sunday
evening, May 29, when special services
will bo held. The Commander-in-Chief
was notified as to the proposed special
service and comrades throughout the
country were invited to send floral tributes
Armour & Co. have consented to store all

Berg's Cherry Cough Syrup
' "Will relieve that cough almost instantly
and make expectoration easy. Acts
simultaneously on the bowels, kidneys and
liver, thereby relieving the lungs of that
soreness and pain and also stopping that
tickling sensation in the throat by remov

vince any one that it has no equal on
earth for coughs and cold. A. F. Streitz
has secured the sale of it and will guar

New Yoke, May 14. The Times speci
al from Ottawa, Ontario, says that the
Government has decided to expend $G0,
000 more than last year in tha way of
coast defences as well as average at an
early date for a large supply of the rifles
and three pound Nordenfeidt guns which
will he placed in position along the At
lantic and Pacific, as well as different
poiuts along the coatt. Only a few days
ago the English government forwarded
three heavy cannons to British Columbia
to be stationed at Fort Moody, and several
others are to he placed at different points
along the Pacific coast. It is not at all
unlikely that at an early day a regiment
of English soldiers will be dispatched for
regular service in British Columbia.

I had been troubled all winter with
cold and pain in the chest and got no

If there ever was a humbugged and
badly taken in American people it is that
class of fools who flock to see the elon
gated Sarah Bernhardt. There are at
least a dozen American actresses who
can discount this foreign upstart, who
possesses neither reason, natural beauty
nor talent to any particulor degree.
Sarah held fortli at Omaha on Saturday
night, and the wise people of that city did
uot care to see or hear her. The result
was a small audience at which Sarah gave
an exhibition of her wretched judgment
and worse intelligence by ranting and
acting the fool, forgetting that those who
had ventured to the theatre went in good
faith and were entitled to just as good an
entertainment as the company could bring
out.

Building in Chicago comes to a stand
still yesterday morning, and there are
probably from 13,000 to 20,000 men idle.
Part of these had no work to do, owing
to the order of the Master Mason's Asso
ciation to quit work Friday night. Others
bricklayers, stone masons and plasterers
quit work on the non-association jobs
to ascertain what their meeting at the
Battery would do. A large number of
men just on the outskirts of these trades
teamsters, hod-carriers, carpenters
were also obliged to quit. Nearby every
body recognized that there was a, chance
of a long, hard fight, and, from the various
conditions, that it was greatly a question
of endurance who would win, though
both "sides still appeared confident of
success. The contractors and material
men want the strike over, but not until
they can have all their demands allowed

The town board has taken steps to

an eminently proper one at this time.
Ord has attained a size which warrants
the procurance of the best water facilities

Loxdox, May 14. London was ablaze

purpose of opening the People's Palace

as it does Oxford street, Holborn, Hol

Corn Hill road. Aldgate 6treet, White

buildings along the entire way were gaily
decorated with banners, wreaths, colored
trophies, and flags, the Irish colors, and
the stars and stripes being conspicuous
in many places. The Lord Mayor and
the municipal officers of the city of Lon

Girls look pretty on horseback, and we

we were'gayly cantering sido by side
long ago. She jumped at the chances
and we've been jogging on together ever

it is spelled properly.
