Doo'.HMtl 01 Day In tlii Mind's. The old xoUllors and the citizens ireni'iiilly who turned out to assist them In the exorcises attendant upon a lilting observation of Mem orial day could Hud nothing of which to com plain In the weather , as the day was as nearly perfect In every respect as could liavo been desired. The shower of the preceding I'vonltur bad moistened the earth and dam pened the streets suftlclently to Insure them from the blinding clouds of dust that have mind I men in tlio past proved such a disagree able feature of the day. and had also assisted materially In cooling the atmosphere. The forenoon was quito cloudy , but n t sulllcleiitly to threaten rain or to deter any- 0110 from turning out to the exercises of the afternoon , and during tlio latter part of the day they frequently afforded most ugreuiblo shelter from the sun's hot rays. And the excellent programme as well as the manner in which It was rendered , was fully tn keep ing with the day. Shortly after 12 : ! IO o'clock the line began forming on the htrects about Hayllss park. In which lieuutlful ivt-ort fully two thousand bjH > ctuU > r8 were gathered. C oasiderablo time Uvk' consumed iu totting tlio numerous organization ! ! to their respective places In line , but this was finally accomplished without any serious hitch , and at i ! o'clock the procession skirted.

The parade was witnessed by thousands of spectators who crowded the sidewalks along the line of march. Scores of the business houses were profusely decorated , and many of the private residences and grounds along the line were very prettily and tastefully adorned with bunting , Hags and portraits of noted heroes of the war. At Soldiers' park the exercises were changed somewhat from the original pro gramme , owing to certain circumstances over which the committee In charge had no con trol. E. L. Shugart was to have been master of ceremonies , but owing to an acci dent which befell him at his farm last Wednesday , by which he was injured bv being thrown from his carriage , Colonel W. I'1. Sitpp was selected to 1111 his place. Mr. Shugart was , however , able to bo present , and oVeuplod a place on the platform. The exercises were held In a natural amphithea ter just northeast of the soldiers' lot in Kohrer's park. It is a charming little spot , and is perfectly adapted to the use to which it was jmt yesterday for the llrst time. A platform was built for the accommodation of the speakers , bund , honored guests of the old .soldiers , and the press. After expressing his regrets over the. acci dent that rendered necessary a change in the president of the day , Colonel Sapp an nounced a musical selection bv the band , after which Hov. Dr. Phelps of the First Presbyterian church , offered prayer. Colonel Sapp announced that' owing to a railway wreck in Texas , Hon. John M. Thurs- lon was unable to bo present , and that Hon. John L. Webster of Omaha would take his place. He then introduced Mr. Webster , who miido an excellent speech. He gave sev eral interesting accounts of recent trips over the battlelields of the war , that deeply interested the immense audience. Ho expressed the belief that when it came time for the prince of Wales to take his place upon the hereditary throne of Great Britain he would bo met by three newly born republics , Ireland , England and Scotland , that would elect their presi dents and henceforth demand a government by the people. He referred to the republics of Central and South America , and notably Brazil. The western hemisphere was char acterized as the birthplace and home of re publics. The speaker thought that the stars and stripes should bo the symbol of liberty , and should bo looked upon as such by all na tions. He closed with a stirring eulogy of the United States and the old Hag , and heart ily applauded. At the conclusion of Mr. Webster's address Mr. I. M. Treynor sang ' 'The Vacant Chair" in his usual pleasing manner. After music by the band the assemblage returned to the soldiers' lot , where a handsome lloral monument ment and a floral mortar had been placed In- sldo the battlement. The school children were grouped around the monument and a chorus of ! ! ( N ) voices , under direction of Mrs. D. .1. O'Neill ' , sang several patriotic songs. Prayer wus offered by Kev. D. C. Franklin , after which Hon. H. 10. Deemer delivered an excellent address on ' 'Tho Unknown. " This concluded the exercises at the park , and de tachments then started out to decorate the graves. The line was reformed and marched to G. A. U. headquarters and disbanded. rnooKAMMi : AT Tin : i > r.\r AMI i > V.\in ASVI.OI.

The marching of the public school cadets was very creditable. , and occasioned much favorable comment. The boys inarched like veterans.

To the iniinv solicitous friond.s who so kindly offered to furnish ball , the scribes return heartfelt thanks and will endeavor to reciprocate. The Dancho society made an excellent showing. They turned out a largo delegation , and their appe.irunco In line was a surprise to those who had never seen them on parade before.

Yesterday forenpon as George Metcnlf was passing the residence of John Shoentgun , No. 70.'l South Sixth street , ho wus startled at bocing a young woman run out Into the yard , " her clothes all abluzo. As ho rushed to her he found her standing like u burning torch , the Uumes surrounding her. He seized her , throw her ou the ground aud rolling her over to extinguish tlw flames atthesiimotlmotorobci burning clothing from her. In his heroic rescue hl.s own hands were somewhat burned , but that was nothing as compared with the terrible sufferings of the girl , who proved to bo Dlna Greenabock. a housemaid In the em ploy of the family. It uppo.u-s that she was in the act of tilling the gasoline stove.somo of the burners of which were'at thotlmo lighted. The can and reservoir at once blazed up. the llames catching her clothing. In ; her fright she rushed Into the yard , screaming as the flames about her Increased rapidly. Dr. Cle.iver was called In at once and everything possible wiw done as speedily as possible to relieve her sufferings. Her body wus found to bo literally roasted in places , and It Is very doubtful whether she will recover. She Is a German girl who has been In this country less than two years. The blazing up of the gasoline stove caused thu cry of fire to be raised and an alarm was turned in. For some reason thu wrong num ber came In and the department went rolling down Broadway. By the time the mistake was corrected the ilro In Mr. Shoentgen's hou.se was put out , the duniaeo being but trilling as compared with the terrible misfor tune which accompanied It. Before the ar rival of the lire department Willie Gilbert bad turned himself into a pretty effective lire department. He seized the garden hose con nected with the residence nnd with this stream put out the blaze. TlilH IH tin ; Lant Day.

The matinee and night concerts nt Bovd's opcr.i house yesterday given byMus'tors Blatchford ICavanuiigh and Harry Dimoml drew very largo and fashionable audiences. These two youngsters have com pletely captured the music lov ing public of Omaha. The furore created by Master ICavamigh on his llrst ap pearance hero ono week ago was repeated , but ho by no means curried away all the honors this time. Master Dimona's performances on the violin aroused equally us much enthu siasm and won as vigorous outbursts of applause as the other's wonderful singinir. Ho displayed evidences of genius and skill that are certainly marvelous. His playing simply astonished every ono who heard it. He executes like an old master of the instrument , and dashes off the most difficult music with perfect case. Such fingering und bowing , lights and shades , perfect control nnd graceful appli cation are seldom witnessed even in the most celebrated violinists , Every number that ho played was loudly encored. Master ICuvu- naugh was in better voice than on his former visit , consequently his singing was faultless , and the big audience of last night acted us though it would liked to have listened to him an hour longer. They wcro assisted in both concerts by Mr. J. Iv. Burton , the baritone soloist of this city , and Mine. Muentofcring who performed on the piano. For delicacy , for purity , and for improve ment of the complexion nothing equals Pox- zoui's powder. H AVill InArrested. .
