LATE NEWS BY WIRE|"THE Lost cause WON THE SECOND, T00 The Celebration of Memorial Day Elsewhere. PARADES AND OTHER EXERCISES Flowers Strewn on the Tomb of Grant. SCHOOL CHILDREN IN LINE Fe ee NEW YORK, May 30.—When the Grand Army veteran, the private in the National Guard and the embryo soldier from the| School looked out from their windows this morning they saw that May, hitherto a mest faithless month, had given over one of her fairest days to grace the celebra. tion in honor of the memory of the nation’s ecad. The great parade of the day, which from the preparations made gave promise of surpassing any in late years, started at 9/ O'clock on Sth avenue. The men in the “Fighting 6¥th” for the first time in their history did not march as @ régiment in a memorial day parade. The Duildings on the line of march were gay with bunting and dense crowds lined the side~ walks. Nothing occurred to mar the success of the parade down 5th avenue. At the stand at Madison square the troops were re- viewed by Mayor Gilroy and the city offl- cials. The Liberty Bell, which was in the reviewing stand, was tolled. The line of march then proceeded to Washington Park, where the parade was disbanded. There were fully six thousand men in line. Be- sides the many posts of the G. A. R. and other organizations there were many school . Children in line. Besides the parades and the decoration of the graves the program of the day was marked with ctv! way, the ‘inters unveiled a statue of Horace Gree~ The Roman Catholic Church of St. 37th street Gabriel on East was conse- ctated. Monsignor Satolli officiated, and Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia delivered the sermon. Another religious festival was that ac- companying the laying of the corner stone of the Scotch Presbyterian Church, at 96th street and Central Park, West. At the tomb of Gen. Grant, in Riverside the men of the U. S. Grant Post, 827, G. A. R., assembled to strew flowers on the resting place of the dead general, and listened to an address delivered by A. ‘W. Tenney. Other features of the day were the me- morial services in honor of the late Jesse Seligman, the celebration at the grave of Gen. John A. Dix, in Trinity cemetery, and the memorial exercises of Carnegie Music a No More Gladstone Bulletins. LONDON, May 30.—Mr. Gladstone con- tinues in very good health, and his eye is improving steadily.

BREMEN, May 30.—The North German Lioyd Steamship Company has ordered four new steamships of 4,000 tons each. ‘Two have been ordered from the Vulcan Company and two from the Germanic Ship | Building @ompany of Kiel. ——_ No Racing at Ham Park. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., May 30.—For the first time in twenty-five years the Hamp- den Park Association has voted to hold no trotting races this year, and the park will be practically closed. The action is the result of the raids made ‘on the pool sellers last year. The directors of the association do not believe that they can make the races pay without pool seil-~ ing, and yet are unwilling to allow it in face of the law and the sentiment of part of the community against it. ~——_— Senator Gorman Better. BALTIMORE, Md., May 30.—A dispatch %o the news from Laurel, Md., says that Senator Gorman is better today and that his physicians are confident of a speedy re- covery if he keeps away from Washington. ——_s— WAITERS FEEL THE EVILS OF TIP- PING. A Fear That New York May Soon Be- come Like Tip-Trampled Paris. From the New York Herald. “Every now and then there is an outcry against tipping.” said a head waiter in a Broadway resort yesterday,“and it has been said that waiters—some of them—are en- abled to buy real estate from the yieldings of the system. This might have been, years &go, when waiters thoroughly educated to their business were comparatively scarce, but it is a fallacy now. “Good waiters here are not as numerous as they are in Paris, of course, but their umbers are enough to make them feel the evils of tipping. Last year’s general strike im the big hotels and fashionable cafes wa: caused primarily by tipping,for this is taken into consideration when employers fix the rate of wages. The men are reasonably easy now, but it is only a matter of time when New York must become like Paris.” In the French —<— not long ago there were 40,000 idle waiters, and it was con- tended that employers took advantage of this to cut down the earnings of their men. And here is where the pernicious tip shows its influence again. The men, because of It, @re practically paid no fixed wagea but themselves pay to their employers so much in p@ portion to the business they do. In the great cafes in the boulevards wait: ers have to pay to the cashier the full sell- ing price of whatever they serve, plus 5 per cent. In some cases the rate is advanced. The percentage must come from tips. No one gives less than about 2 cents, however small the purchase. In this city a dime is the minimum,though | several waiters In “swell” resorts, have been known to turn from it in disdain. Just think ef giving one of these men 2 cents’ “It would surprise you,” continued the head waiter, “to know that it is principally the men who ask for the most expensive orders and need the most attention are the ones who are likely to tip the waiter by giving him a bad cigar or—nothing. ~——e00 Strength in Women Fashionable. “There is no doubt,” writes Mrs. Fenwick ‘Miller in the London Young Woman, “that Women have a great deal more stamina and Strength than we have been led to suppose. Indeed, the contrast is great between the irl of today and the old idéa of a woman as a fragile, helpless creature, and the no- tion that once held ground that health, strength, a good appetite and the capacity to bear fatigue were unwomanly and among the many pleasant prergatives of the other fex, has been more signally overthrown by the women of today than even the other ancient standing idea of their sex's hopeless fytellectual inferiority. _ Dr. Gregory, in the Iast century, when he wrot- a manual of ‘Advice to His Daughters,’ that was so much approved as to become a text book of conduct for our great-grendmothers as girls, told them that they should carefully conceal the possession ef gocd health and never talk before men of thelr strength and capacity to bear fatigue, for if they were thought to be well and strong, ‘we recoil from them in a way they are little aware of.’ Dear me! How very silly those recoiling great-grandpapas of ours appear to us today! “Our far more sensible young men have learned that good health and strength of physique among women mean good temper, good company and a capacity to bear up the woman's end of the log of life without murmuring at the hardship and without a final lapse into invalidism. So they do not recoil from the strong and healthy girl any more, and she on her part has taken full advantage of the change of sentiment, and has set herself successfully to prove that health and strength really mean increased refinement and grace, instead of a loss of those precious feminine attributes.” e900 Protection From Sparrows. From Meehan's Monthly for May. In the old world, where sparrows abound, Imen twine soaked in tan is woven into net- work, with meshes small enough to exclude these birds. As the sparrow is now be- coming troublescme here the same method of protection will have to be resorted to. An Orator Who Believes in Its Jus- tice, Sensational Speech Delivered at the Monument Dedication at Rich- mond, Va., Today. RICHMOND, Va., May 30.—The unveiling and dedication of the monument to the memory of the private soldiers and sailors of the confederacy was the occasion of a great celebration in Richmond today, with impressive ceremonies and an imposing Parade. As & preliminary there was a cavairy re- union attended by several of the old con- federate commanders, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Gov. O’Ferrall, Wade Hampton, Rev. G. William Jones and Gen. Rosser being pres- ent and making speeches. Gen. Rosser particularly attracted at- tention by a severe arraignment of the United States pension system. The great procession was the feature of the day, and a particularly attractive dis- Play was made by the children, who were | formed tn a division by themselves, bearing flags and richly decked in bunting and col- ored sashes. ato Fitzhugh Lee was chief mar- The ceremonies were begun with prayer by Rev. Moses D. Hoge; then, after a se- lection by one of the bands, Mr. A. C. Gor- don of Staunton, read a poem. The ad- dress of Rev. Cave followed, after which the monument was unveiled and then saluted by the military. Mr. Cave’s Sensational Speech. In the course of his address Mr. Cave said: “I am not one of those who, clinging | to the old superstition that the will of heaven is revealed in the immediate results of ‘trial by combat,’ fancy that right must | always be on the side of might, and speak | of Appomattox as a judgment of God. I | do not forget that a Suwaroff triumphed end a Kosciusko fell; that a Nero wielded the scepter of empire and a Paul was be- headed; that a Herod was crowned and a Christ crucified; and instead of accepting the defeat of the south as a divine verdict against her, I regard it as but another in- stance of ‘truth on the scaffold and wrong on the throne.’ (Tremendous applause). “Appcmattox was a triumph of the phys- ieally stronger in a corflict between the representatives of tw» essentially different civilizations and antagonistic ideas of gov- ernmert. On one side in that conflict was the scuth, led by the descendants of the cavaliers, who, with all their faults, had inherited from a long line of ancestors a manly contempt for moral littleness, a high sense of honor, a lofty regard for plighted faith, a strong tendency to conservatism, a Profound respect for law and order and an unfaltering loyalty to constitutional gov- ernment. Against the south was arrayed the power of the north, dominated by the spirit of Puritanism, which, with all its virtues, has ever been characterized by the | Pharisaism that worships itself and is un- able to perceive any goodness apart from itself; and from the time of Oliver Crom- well to the time of Abraham Lincoln has never hesitated to trample upon the rights of others in order to effect.its own ends. “At Appomattox, Puritanism, backed by overwhelming numbers and unlimited re- sources, prevailed. But brute force cannot settle questiors of right and wrong. Think- ing men do not judge the merits of a cause by the measure of its success, and I believe “That the world shall yet decide In truth's clear, far-off light," that the south was in the right, that her cause was just, that the men who took up arms in her defense were patriots, who had even better reason for what they did than had the ren who fought at Concord, Lex~- ington and Bunker Hill, and that her co- ercion, whatever goed may have resulted or may hereafter result from it, was an outrage on liberty.” (Applause.) Mr. ve denied that the south fought to perpetuate slavery, but simply to preserve the principles on which the government was founded. . In closing the speaker protested against Peace with dishonor. The example of the confederate dead, he said, “bid us nobly live for the principles for which they brave- ly fought and died, the principles of state sovereignty and home rule, on which the government was wisely founded by our fathers, without which no vast territory like ours can possibly remain democratic, de- parture from which is rapidly hurrying the country to a choice between anarchy and —_—~—— A GRAVE IN GRACELAND. Charity Provide: Resting Place for a Suicide’s Body. The secretary of Graceland cemetery no- tified the police authorities this afternoon that the cemetery had donated a grave in which to bury George W. Koenig, the Young man who committed suicide in the Capitol grounds last Friday night. The brother of the suicide, who lives in Balti- more, will be so notified, and it is probable that the remains will be buried here to- morrow. —-— At Holy Rood Cemetery. Geo, U. Morris Post, No. 19, Jos. W. Kirk- ley, commander, decorated the graves of Union dead in Holy Rood cemetery, George- town. There were no ceremonies other than the simple strewing of the graves with flowers and the placing of a flag at the headstone of each. The following named ladies participated: Misses Janie Lele Trunnell, Elenor Kirkley, Edna Collins, Fannie Ullmer, Mrs. ‘ins, Mrs. Duvall, Mrs. Ullmer and Mrs. Lichty.

Gazette. Not long ago a young lady was lying | half awake in bed in an old house in Bos- | ton’s suburbs. Suddenly she became whol- \ly awake with the consciousness that a | mouse was running over her chest. She | had presence of mind enough not to move, reasoning that the mouse would presently | |Tun away without harming her. But in-| | stead of running away the little creature | | crept into her neck, and there nestled com- | | fortably down, his back curled against the | Jower part of her cheek, which lay on the | pillow. The lady’s blood was simply frozen | | with horror, but she did not dare to move, fearing that the mouse would bite her if | she did. Collecting her wits, she finally re- solved that she would, by a mighty and sudden effort, jump sidewise in the bed away from the mouse, leaving him high and dry on the pillow, and then get quickly up and out of the bed on the other side. She would count three and then jump. She counted one, two, three—and then she did not jump. The mouse nestled comfortably closer to her neck. She began again and counted one, two, three! This time she jumped sidewise, downwerd, upward and every way, and screamed besides at the top of her voice. What ever became of the mouse could not be learned, for when all the family came, with lamps and pokers and various other weapons, to her aid, no trace of the poor little creature could be found. Perhaps he was frightened entirely out of existence by the young lady’s| screams. } ——_—__-+e- Cheaper. From Truth. Strawber- want you to see my new ‘All right.

McGDIRE'S TRIPLE WITH BASES FULL Barnie’s Boys Were Weak at the Bat. STORY OF THE GAME That long-looked-for winning gait has at last been struck by Manager Schmelz’s Washington Base Ball Club. In a prettily Played contest this morning before some- thing less than 2,000 spectators the home culb took its second game from the Louis- villes by a score of 7 to 3. Sharp fielding, timely hitting and intelligent base running had much to do with the result. McGuire duplicated his former feat while playing against the Louisvilles by rapping out a triple with the bases full. yashington Takes the Field. Louisville went first to bat and retired in one, two, three order. Washington did better. Ward led off with a single to left, stole second and third and crossed the plate on McGuire's rattling single to center. The visitors made two in the second. O'Rourke reached first on Radford's error of a hard-hit grounder. Weaver bunted and was safe when Cartwright muffed Petty’s throw. Richardson also bunted, but was out at first. Denny sent one to Radford, on which O'Rourke scored. A moment later McGuire made a bluff to throw to second, but instead with the as- sistance of Joyce very prettily caught Weaver napping at third. Knell singled over second and Jerry Denny crossed the plate. Grim singled to left, but Brown — the running by going out to Rad- ‘ord. In Washington's half Hasamaear hit to Denny,who threw wildly to first and ‘‘Roar- ing Bill’ moved down to second. Tebeau oe him to third, but there he was ft. After two men were’ out in the fourth, Denny and Knell made singles, but the side was retired without a tally. McGuire, the first batter for Washington, | knocked a “corker’ down the third base | line, but Hasamaear followed with one to | Richardson and was doubled with McGuire. Tebeau struck out.

Before the inning ended, however, Manoger Barnie grew very nervous, THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 80, 1894-TWELVE PAGES SENJOYING THE DAY. In Spite of the Weather Many Go on Excursions. Despite the cool and threatening weather, thousands of the people of the District to- day left their homes for @ day's outing. While rot so many as on last Decoration day went, yet the reports from the different rallroad stations and the wharves showed that the number was comparatively little less than last year. The various points down the river at tracted perhaps the greater part of the outgoing throng, and the boats bound for Marshall Hall, Colonial Beach, River View, Mt, Vernon and Notley Hall were more than well filled. The excursion of Nelson Division, No. 2, U. R. K. of P., to Pen- mar was a popular one, and about 300 or 400 people made the trip via the Pennsyl- vania railroad. Another equally well pa- tronized excursion was that to Arundel-on- the-Bay over the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road. Hundreds journeyed up the river in steam packets and row boats, bound for Great Falls, Cabin John bridge, Little Falls and the up-river landings, while many more) drove in that direction. Great, well-filled lunch baskets and innumerable fishing lines and rods accompanied these outing parties, as did the lunch baskets at least accompany allother parties, The suburban railroads carried great crowds, and the green fiel and woods beyond the city were occupied all day long. One particular point of interest to old and young alike was the Zoo, and several thousands by their presence there enlivened the beautiful park. eens AN UNTRAVELED MAN. He Was Not Used to the Ways of the World and Its Big Hotels. -From the Indianapolis Sentinel. A night clerk at one of the principal hotels of the city had a customer the other night. He ambled into the hotel with the uncertain gait and hesitating manner of a man who is conscious of the fact that he has turned up the wrong road, carrying in his hand a new valise that looked as though it had been given a coat of hog lard before driving to the station. He saw the clerk at about the same moment that he was discovered, and stopped at though caught stealing a ham from his ‘jinin’ neighbor's smoke house. He began strok- ing his chin whiskers, and looked up to see where the roof was. “Good evening, sir," nodded the clerk. “Howdy?” asked the new arrival. Just then his eye located the ceiling, and he held it transfixed, as though fearful of los- ing It, while the top of his head, from the chin up, was stretched back until it was on @ line with his spinal column. “How's folks?” “Why, pretty well, thank you,” replied the clerk. “Your folks well?’ The upturned eyes slowly followed the lines of the decorated ceiling, the body turning in unison until the stranger's back was revealed. “Right peart,” was the slow and almost | Radford took first on balls and promptly | Stole second.

McGuire got no further. Washingtons Increase Their Lead. Louisville did nothing in the sixth, but Capt. Joyce’s men did. Tebau took first on balls, and atter Cartwright had flied out, “White Wings” stole second,and scored when Radford singled past third. Paul slid safely to Pfeffer's bag, took third on Petty’s single to left, and reached the plate on Ward's single. Petty was caught trying to reach third, and Ward made the third hand out} by playing too far off second, the play re- sulting in a collision in which Richardson received the worst of it. Again the Kentucky gentlemen did noth- ing, but as Washington went to bat Kilroy was substituted for Knell. Capt. Joyce took kindly to the change and sent a two-bag- ger to the right. He was caught at the plate, however, in an attempt to score on a wild pitch. McGuire sent a beauty down the third-base line, but was left, as Hasa-~ maear filed out. Barnie’s disconsolates managed to get another man around in the eighth, Brown made a hit, Pfeffer flied to Cartwright and Mitchell etemek » out, Joyce fumbled passed ball, but stayed there. Denny looked gloomy as he advanced to the plate in the ninth. Nevertheless he made a single. Kilroy then sent a high fly to right,which Hasamaear took right off the fence and was cheered to the echo. The side was then retired without difficulty.

J., May 30.—Uniess the Chicago road race of bicyclists, and that of Linscott, Mass., be excepted, the great | Irvington-Millburn road race here today is | the chief Memorial day event of wheelmen. The Irvington-Millburn course is a famous track, and the event has become an annual | Wheeling fixtures in the east, and wheelmen from a radius of a hundred miles gathered here today to attend. The course is five miles long, and track is started midway, | and the entire distance was lined with spec- tators, among whom it is estimated there were nearly 5,000 non-contesting wheelmen. The track was in splendid ‘condition this rorning, the rain and the wind, the sun- shine and the rollers having made it a capital bottom for wheels. ‘The first race over this course was held in 1889. Bicycle road racing was then prac- tically in its infancy. Yet so high in favor was the sport that over 1,400 persons were in attendance to witness the race. The starting point, which is also the finishing point, is at the top of Hilton hill, just mid- way between the Irvington Hotel, the lower turning point, and Campbell's dam, the up- per turning point. The Metropolitan Association of Cycling Clubs had made great preparations for to- | day's race, and to all those who cover the distance in an hour and twenty minutes a bronze souvenir will be presented, besides cne of the regular old medals. The race is, as usual, open to the world. The winners, in the erder they finish, will be permitted to make their own selection of the prizes. The referee is Isaac B. Potter.

CHICAGO, May 30.—The Chicago road race, the successor of the historic Pullman bicycle event, was run over the new North Side course today, the finish being witnessed by an immense throng of enthusiastic spec- tators, Fred Rau, winner of the race, crossed the line at 11:05 a.m., making the time 57m. 10s., his handicap being 7m. 30s. The race was for the first time run from a point on the lake shore drive, opposite the Grant monument in Lincoln Park, north to Evanston, and back to the starting point, a distance of something over eighteen miles; | and, while it was a trifte longer, and con-| tained more bad turns than the Pullman course, it was much the superior of the old route as to footing. The hour of starting was fixed at 10 o'clock, and long before the | time arrived the driveways and footpaths | of Lincoln Park were thronged with specta- | tors. Persons in carriages, tally-ho park phaetons, wheelmen and strians were clustered about the imposing monument and gathered on the granite besch to cheer the — wheelmen and to view the nish. There were 416 entries, and over 300 con- testants lined up when the hour arrived. The veteran wheelman, N. H. Van Sickien, officiated as starter, and promptly at the stroke of 10 the limit man was started twelve minutes ahead of the scratch. As the { first man left the mark, and, bending over | his frail steed, punched his pedals straight | away for Evanston, he was greeted with a rousing cheer, and w: soon skirting the lake vorthward at a terrific pace. As soon as the limit man was off, the others followed in quick succession, start- ing im twos and threes and bunches, ac- cording to their handicaps. Five cracks were billed for the scratch, J. P. Bliss, Herbert Githen, George K. Barrett, H. R.| Winship and A. K. Lumsden, but of these | only the three latter were on hand. As they | left the mark amid lusty cheers and sped, away after the leaders, carriages and bi-| cycles swung into line and followed at a/ rattling gait to view the first few miles of the contest. ‘The course had been cleared by the police and the racers had full swing in their hot | ride for cycling glory.

Then they combined with the railroad to mal “Dud'’s” life a burden, Unaided, “Du would have efven up the fight. The town: people of Elgin, however, rallied to his sup- port. They told the express people to keep their hands off under penalty of losing all their Elgin business. The railroad was not handled so easily. The officials flatly re- fused to allow any one passenger to carry so many bundles, When the Elginites heard this they decided on a flank movement. Hundreds of the business men of the city come ,to Chicago every day. They told “Dua they would meet him at the station and help him with a portion of his load. Thus it came about that the most staid and solid citizens of the watch city are seen boarding the train at Chicago with large loads of bundles. The unmarried men are caught often with millinery and ‘nfants’ belongings. When the train reaches Elgin the packages are returned to “Dud.” The railroad people are trying now to figure out a scheme to beat the game, but at present the people are on top. —_——_+e+____ Cause for Rejoicin, From Truth.

At the Belmont avenue turn there was a collision between three of the riders, all of whom were thrown violently to the ground, These were E. C. G. Touch, W. H. Gross ard William Holmes. Touch jumped easi- ly to his feet and remounting started on his way with vigor. Gross with a ii0-yard handicap and Holmes with a five-minutes handicap were disabled. Their machines were broken and both the riders badly bruised, and they limped off the course, Touch had a six-minutes handicap, and was making a good show when he lost ground.

Five representatives from the onpareil, Lone Star and Metropolitan clubs of New York, Vesper of Philadelphia, and Beaveryck of Albany, N. ¥., contested.
