cemeteries now occupied by the Union soldiers who lost their lives in the civil war has received hehrty endorsement throughout the country It is said that this idea was put into Air McKinleys mind ome years ago by a visit to Fred- ericksburg where he found ana tional cemetery and the burial place of the Confederate dead side side in strong contrast It is claimed that if a bill to give effect to the suggestion shall be reported from a committee it will receive an almost unanimous support from the North The people of the South are showing by their most hospitable reception to President McKinley how they appreciate his conduct of the war and the government and his kinilly suggestions as to the Confederate dead It is a happy suggestion at an opportune time And by the way the President has the faculty of making such suggestions at such times But this one thing seems left to complete the cemeting with brotherly love of South and North to completely obliterate all traces of the old sectionalism Let us decorate our graves together LOCAL OPTION FIGHT Will Come Up Before the Next Legislature LFrankfort Dec I9The fight made by the temperance organiza tion and the ministers of the

of the United States Sectional feelings no longer hold hack the love we bear for each other Fraternity is the national an them sung by a chorus of forty five states aud territories at home and beyond the sea The union is once more the common altar of our love and loyalty our devotion and sacrificeThe old flag again waves over us in peace with new glories which your sons and ours have this year added to its sacred folds What cause we have for rejoicing saddened only by the fact that so many of our brave men fell on field or sickness and died from hard ship and exposure and others re turning bring wounds and disease from which they will long suffer The memory of the dead will be a precious legacy anti the disabled will be the nations care A nation which cares for its disabled soldiers as We have done will never lack defenders The national cemeteries for those who fell in battle are proof that the dead as well as the living have our love What an army of silent sentinels we have and with what loving care their graves are kept Every soldiers grave made during our unfortunate civil war is a tribute to American valor And while when those graves were made we differed widely about the future of this government these differences were long ago settled by the arbitrament of arms and the time has now come in the evo lution of sentiment and feeling under the Providence of God when in the spirit ot fraternity we should share with you inthe care of the graves of the confederate soldiers The cordial feeling now happily existing between the North and the South prompts this gracious act aqd if it needed further justifi cation it is found in the gallant loyalty to the union and the flag so conspicuously shown in the year just passed by the sons and grand sons of those heroic dead What a glorious future awaits us if unitedly wisely and bravely we face the new problems now pressing uporvus determined to solve them for right and humanity BURGLARY Eightyfive Dollars and a Re

Jelilco coal regions and reports that the coal companies up there are complaining as those here that they are unable to fill orders The question is asked Wby such an un precedented demand for coal this year and we must tike for an answer the opinion of a leading coal dealer who accounts for the great demand on the ground of failure of consumers to stock any coal for winter during the summer months tbe last winter or two being so pleasant that many looked for a similar season this year and the reverse being true many families are caught unprepared for coal weather 6 iI i 1- 1Ii h HAPPY

five According to the promise made that if the earnings of the road war ranted it the remaining 5 per cent of the 10 per cent reduction made in August 1893 would be restored at the first of this year the en ployes will on January i begin to receive the same wages and salaries that were paid them before the dark days of 1893 settled upon the coun tryThe earnings of the road in the past few months have been suchas to leave little doubt thatthe prom ised restoration would be made To ascertain the facts beyond doubt however an Evening Post reporter this morning made inquiry at the office of the General Manager and the assistant to the President and was informed that there had been no change in the plan and that the restoration will certainly be made The greafroad has acted through out this matter in perfect good faith with the employes When the re duction ws first announced in cur culars of August 7 and August 14 1893 the men were promised that as soon as the earnings justified it the cut would be re stored The reduction affected all from President Milton H Smith to the humblest messenger The j employes acted with rare good sense There was scarcely a grum An exchange says the price

and the re sulting distress of hundreds of operatives who have been out of employment for in definite periods and who have eventually been obliged to accept the will of the em ployer should make the

decrease as inevitable and trusted to the road to restore it as soon as possible Early in 1898 the employes had hopes that the restoration was a matter of a short time The first definite statement however was that made by General Manager Metcalfe at the meeting of the Engineers and Firemens Brotherhood held here last February Mr Met calfe told them that part of the reduction would be restored in July and the rest as soon as possible Accordingly on June 27 a circu lar issued under date of July i announcing the restoration of 5 per cent or half of the reduction on July i and the remainder on January i the latter however being dependent on the earnings of the roadcontinuing at the scale they had reached Since then the earn ings have increased and the resto ration of the rest of the reduction is the result The L N is thus the greatest Santa Claus in the business For each of the 18000 employes whose wages ore wsllrdoubtless b an average of three people whose Christmas cheer will

Jenkins In a report just submitted to Commissioner ot Indian Affairs Jonec on the investigation of the timber operations on the Chlppo wa reservation In Minnesota makes sonic statements radically differing with those in other reports lie says that during the last fiscal year 48910 040 feet of reservation pine timber cut and bunked there was sold at an ateruge of 478 per thousand There were 32 camps in operation and there ivns 88 13 per ccntngc of the wages due the laborers In the camps after leUlrincnt On tho diminished run nation the Hpculal agent says there were 2LVu2007 feet cut anti banked sold lit 100 per thousand and the laborers were paid USi per cent of tlut amount due them on settlement lie states that the trouble was in the management of the camps and in the system Itself- BKATUN OUT OF TJIKIll PAY Owing to the Inability of many of he caiiipa to pay out nnd as under the rulm the laborers claims were the Inst to bo paid scores of Indians working there dill not receive the wages they expected hence serious complaint arose Of 63 camps in oper ation the vast fiscal year many em ployed less than 10 per cent Indian labor and very few hind over 50 per edit the Indian labor average being from 15 to 20 per cent The system of stores maintained by the camps with their exorbitant prices and cred it to reckless Indian buyers is Gtatcd to have caused great dissatisfaction The bills presented to the agent for settlement by the various supply com mlttccH who furnished the camps with tim necessary grocrles etc dur- Ing logging operations were not as n rule properly itemized nnd while they can not be said to be exorbitant the special agent says they are loosely made out with no apparent check on purchascD and glvo ubuudant oppor unity for fraud and coil n ChIEF SOURCE OF OfMPLAINT- Tho chief source of nil the Indians complaints was that the green timber of the reservation was being ruthless ly cut dowji and destroyed under pre tense of being dead and down timber At live councils held with the Indians from various portions of the reserva tions Mr Jenkins says they to a man vehemently protested against further cutting of the socalled dead down They arc convinced he says that more than onehalf of the timber cut at the aampa lies been of the best green and growing pine and that they are realiz lug little or nothing from It On many of the tracts of the diminished reser vation tha ngcnt says he found these complaints well founded and that evi deuces of the clean cutting of everything merchantable were abundant everywhere Of 3000 or 4000 logs he found cut nnd skidded on several tracts he says fully CO per cent were green trees TUB INDIANS WISHES The Indians however he conclud ed arc desirous of having the timber operations resumed on the

willow posts at the corners and along the sides For some time nothing unusual was noticed but after a year he saw that whereas he laid the floor near thejround it was three feet above the soil He discovered that the willow posts instead of being dead were alive and had taken root and were growing In their upward move ment they had parried the barn along Last spring the barn was on stilts nine feet high and he put in a new siding thereby making it a twostory affair There is now a space of seven inches between the new floor and the ground and he expects to liave a threestory barn

present high standard of accomplish mentHe was won a worthy reputation as one of the great leaders of liis race widely p it known and much respected at home and abroad as an accomplished educator a great orator and a true philanthropist What steady and gratifying advances have been made hero during the past fif teen years a personal inspection of the ma terlal equipment strikingly proves The fundamental plan of the original undertak ing has been steadily followed but new features have been added gaps in the course of instruction have been filled in the patronage and resources have been largely increased until even the legislative departme of the State of Alabama and finally the Congress of the United States recognized the worth of the work and of the great opportunities here afforded From one small frame house the institute has grown until it includes the fine group of dormitories recitation rooms lecture nails and workshops which have so sur prised and delighted us today

I thank tho God that theso good old eyes of mine con see but littlo 4 r Bipm evil in this world A It is seldom enough that I stir from homo now for my own limbs aro not so Jlissom now as they used to bo in the the great emperor when I danced down all tho village girls at our I fete of Paques Easter and Now Years f ovo and prayed for tho soul of our young lord Henri do Mortemar for it was up on that day that ho sinned his greatest I sin and sorely indeed was ho punished for it May God have mercy upon his soul You say you would liko to hear Iho tale Well there are not many gen 1 tlemen who would care to sit and listen to no old womans idle stories so if yoti good enough to wish to learn it you shall havo it and welcome Theros but littlo remaining now of L tho old chateau of Mortemar and if monsieur tho marquis could come back to it Lo would hardly know his own homo again for when tho people rose up in7ftJ hey scarcely left one stone upon nnothor You can just seo a half burned corner of one of tho towers and thats nil But in tho days beforo the j revolution what a place it wasl Such feasting nil day long I Such music and dancing and gayety of ovcry kind 1 Such troops of Servants in rich liveries and 1 flue gentlemen with laced coats and sll i J tvcrbelted swords and beautiful ladies 1 with powdered Mir and glittering with jewels liko tho shrine of the Holy 1 Virgin in tho cathedral yonder But to j 5 pay for nil this splendor wi of the pee pie had to snake soup out of nettles and to go without fire in winter and thats why Im glad tho times are changed tow M Henri was tho only child but his c father tho great marquis had adopted t Iaypung lady tho daughter of an old of his who had been killed by his lido at tho battle of Minden These r were nil that lived in tho house but there were always plenty of young gen tlemen frpm tho neighborhood hanging about tho chateau and well there might bo when such a pretty girl as I s Mile Adelu was in it It would taken good hour to tell you of all her admirI i ers but the two gayest and wildest of them all were Gaston do St Oyr and siRaymond do Mericonrt whom they used to call the Black Eagle Holy St Joseph I What a wild sot 7 they were thoso young madcaps I I can remember as if it wore yesterday though I was only a child then how they used to racket about tho streets of tho town at night kissing overy pretty rgirlthey met and pricking ovary quiet ioldburgher with thor swords till ho jumped and hallooed liko n dancer at a fair It was no use complaining for no one dared to touch a gentleman in those days and once when tho mayor ventur 1 ed to object to their doings they an swered by hanging a dead dog at his door with a piece of paper In its mouth w saying A ton tour mon frcrol In your turn brother Little did they dream then that their own friends and kinsmen were to bo hung along those streets in tho very same way only a few years later u But there was one among tho roister ers so different from tho rest that he quito put mo in mind of that picture of Bt Antolno among tho demons which hangs above the font in our church This was young Armand do Courval who had been bred up for the church only his elder brother died suddenly and left him heir to the family proper ty But overy ono said ho would havo done much better for an abbe than for S H lord he was so gravo and so gentle tandso quiet hardly ever speaking or f his eyes from the ground Our Wild young gentlemen used to make tine fun of him as you may think but r ho boro it all without a word till at lastthey got tired and left off r 4 fcfpw of course there was a good deal L of talk in our neighborhood about the f young lady And her admirers and plen tyof cuenEcs were niadons to who would bo tho man Some said it was M Henri while others declared that having been brought up together like brother and sister they would never think of each oiotberin any other way Most people were for M do Mericourt and indeed it wouldnt have been easy to find a hand earner or n bolder man if ho only had not been EO terribly wild but just then a thing befell which gave us nil some tiling else to think ubout r was terribly hot nlj over Trance that summer of 1768 tho aldermen iItiliooktheir heads and said that if we get some rain soon it would be nil over with the harvest This was bad 4o J f news for us poor folks who had littlo I enough to live on anyhow bat upon it F came another piece of news that wo liked still less namely that several 1 I I dogs of the neighborhood had gone mad nudwce running about the country bit ing every pno whom they wet 4 I Now ono evening about that time Mile Adola went out to stroll among the trees by tho riverside which was a favorite walk of hers All at once there eft HI o bursting through the bushes a huge bjUckjlog raving mad with its tongue g Oat and the JOlm flying I tF 4 f r rrom its open jaws ano snnt nor ctfea and sank helplessly totho ground too much terrified oven to scream Just then when all seemed over out from behind n tree where he had been rending all tho afternoon sprang Ar inaud do Oonrval tho scholar tho dreamer tho man at whom every out laughed He ran right at the savage brute weaponless as ho was flung his coat over its head so as to blindfold it for an instant and then quick as light ning seized and hurled it bodily into riverWhen the other gentlemen heard what had happened they were greatly amazed as you may think and praised his courage up to tho skies but ho only said Why do you oxtol me Give tho praise to God who helped mo And then he slipped away as if ho didnt want to hear any moro of it But tho next ny Mlle Adola came to him as ho sat in n nook of tho groat eastern window and said very earnestly IIM do Courval I can never thank you enough for your bravery I think few of thoso gay cavaliers who wake sport of you would havo faced such n death half so well But Do Oonrval only smiled a sad sweet smile such as ono might fancy on the face of n martyr wheritho flames are rising fast around him Allmy child said ho In his soft low voice it is better to be doing good than to live doing nothing And for several days after that our young lady was strangely silent and thoughtful Tho summer passed and tho autumn passed and as winter begnnto draw on every ono made his preparations for tho Jour do lAn Now Years day which as you know is our great day in Franco There used to bo n great feto every year at tho chateau of Mortemar and this time it was to bo oven grand r than usual for monsieur limo marquis had invited friends tram all parts and had announced that ho should give a feast on Now Years ovo to all the tenants on his estate of whom my mother was one So then tho young gentlemen began to talk about getting np some kind of show to ampSo tho tenantry anti M Henri who was always foremost In cv ery kind of fun cried out Hark ye gentlemen these good pee plo say woro wild as devils so suppose wo take them at their word Well dress up as demons and treat them to n demon dance Tho others shouted with laughter and said it would bo just tho thing but Armand do Courval shook his head o For heavens sake my friends said be dont make a jest of such things I You know I Wo know that you havo n right to bo shocked my dear abbe broko in M Henri laughing but it cant mat ter much for poor sinners like us Im sure if satan himself likes to como and head our danco hell bo heartily wel comeNow Years eve came at last and tho tenants were thero in their best clothes my mother and I among them Tho great courtyard had been covered in with canvas and warmed by n big fire at each end nnd thero wo had our supper Monsieur tho marquis and our young lady went out among us to see that wo had enough while tho rest sat at the windows and looked on When supper ended there was a End den burst of wild music Up went a curtain at the end ot tho yard disclos ing a stage painted to represent the depths of a forest and out como M Henri and His two friends dressed as demons and began dancing and halloo ing and waving burning torchesvtill they soared us children BO that wo cried as loud as they did Tho fine folks at the windows clapped their hands and applauded lustily but all at onco somebody cried out I thought there wero only thrco of them Whos tho fourth And when wo looked there sure enough whore there had only been three dancers a minute back there seemed now to bo four Dot no one could tell exactly what tho fourth was like for bo flitted about like a shadow now hero now thero and sometimes seeming to bo everywhere at once Then n strange horror fell over the whole assembly and every ono saw in his neighbors faoo tho terror that was upon his own The lights burned blue and tho air suddenly became foul and stifling like the air of a charnel vault And as tho courtyard grew darker n pale dismal light liko n half quenched fire began to rise over tho stago show ing us that the faces of tho dancers had grown haggard and ghastly and that their dancing was liko the writhings of men in mortal agony Many of tho great ladies who had always mocked at such things and believed neither in God nor the devil fainted outright and tho Boldest of tho gentlemen wero littlo bettor Then amid all tho tumult and terror forth came M 10 Courval Up ho wont on to tho stage and lifting his calm commanding faco abovo the tortured of tho doomed men said sof emnlyfStranger if you nro of mortal mold come forward and meet mo liko a man It you aro a spirit of evil begone in tho name of him who died for us all There came a clap of thunder that seemed to rend tho very sky and all was dark as night but through tho darkness and the silence wailed a low dying groan When tho light came again all tho gay guests wore huddled together liko scared sheep while tho throe dancers lay prostrate upon tho stage with their dresses alt scorched and blackened as if by lightning but tho terrible fourth was nowhero to be soonMonsieur the marquis sprang upon tho stage and called to his son but Henri made no answer Ho was dead It fared oven worse with M do Moricourt for ho tho bold high spirited reckless cavalier was a hopeless idiot over after crying and cowering like a frightened child As for Gaston do St Cyr tho shook sobered him once for all Thenceforth ho devoted bis lifo ta good works and died long nicer In a foreign laud reverenced like a saint And the young lady ask I as Dame Madeleine pauses She married M do Courval six months later and went away to Amor lea whore they lived many years work Ing manfully for their own living and beloved by all who know them and only two years ago their grandson hes an officer in tho American army and such a fine follow came over to see tho place whore his ancestors had lived and seemed quito pleased to find old Madololno still alive and hearty So you soo won sieur the good can bring good out of ovil after alISt Louis GlobeDem ocrat I NEW YEARS IN SCOTLAND
