THE WAR IS OVER. I 1 Union Soldiers Dedicate Tablet to "Brave Alabama Boys," ] ON FIELD OF BATTLE.' i i Ibl. Herbert in Wrltting to Col (Jrubb 1'hjth Tribute to- Northern : Soldier*, and Says* "Heaven Ha* ltounteously Lengthened Out Our Lives That We May llehold this Glorious Day." Former secretary of the Navy, Hilary A. Herbert, who lives in Washington, has forwarded to Gen. E. Burd Grubb, commander of the Twenty-third New Jersey Volunteers, against whom he fought at the battle of Salem Church, Va., May, 23, 1863, a letter of tribute to the courage and manliness of the members of that regiment, to whom a monument was recently erected at Salem church. Upon one of the tablets were in : 1 skuuvu me lunuwiiig wurus: "To the brave Alabama boys, our opponents on this field of battle, whose memory we honor, this tablet is dedicated." The Eighth Alabama regiment was commanded at the time of the Salem Church battle by former Secretary Herbert. In his letter to General * Grubb, Col. Herbert says: "I have noted with unmixed pleasure that while on one of the plates upon the monument are inscribed ' the words: " 'To the memory of our heroic dead comrades, who gave their lives for their country's honor on the battiefield, this tablet is dedicated.' "Upon another plate is this inscription: " To the brave Alabama boys, our opponents on this field of battle, whose memory we honor, this tablet is dedicated.' "I was with my regiment, the Eighth Alabama, and was its lieutenant colonel in the bloody fight which you and your brave soldiers have so fitly commemorated. Indeed, the Eighth Alabama was on the south side of the plank road, and, therefore, almost immediately confronted your gallant regiment. Being the M1J A. ? ? ** ? - uiucsl surviving neia omcer of the five Alabama regiments that participated in that memorable struggle, I feel that I may appropriately assume on behalf of the Alabama boys, whose memory you and your brave soldiers so chivalrously extol, to extend to you and the other survivors of the Twenty-third New Jersey, as I do hereby the heart-felt thanks of the living Alabamians who participated in that battle. WORDS OP DANIEL WEBSTER. "When you and I recall the fortyfour years that have passed since Salem Church, and congratulate ourselves as all patriots do upon the wonderful changes that time has wrougnc in puDiic sentiment, North and South, it is but natural that we should recur to the words of Daniel Webster at the dedication of the monument on Bunker Hill: 'Heaven has bounteously lengthened out your lives that you might, behold this glorious day.' That sentence has thrilled the hearts of generation after generation, but to me the simple i words inscribed by your regiment on , the monument to their heroic dead at Salem Church are more eloquent ( than any uttered by the immortal ] orator at Bunker Hill. Webster was , addressing the survivors of one ar- | my, the American army of the Rev- i . olution; your monument speaks to 'al| the survivors of the two great ar- 1 mies that fought against each other 1 in the civil war. It is a fitting last j w)ord in the lessons of that great J war.-*..It is plain now that it was not . lust of pQwer that nerved the hearts of Jersey^!en at Salem church, and also that it>was^not any wicked desire to destroy" American liberties that prompted Alabamiaris to/to battle that day. Both armies were fight- ? f # * ingior American institutions as they understood them. Since t.he smoke of battle has lifted, all this, in the sunlight of peace, has become clear, * and the tablets on your monument at Salem church now remind the sur- I vivors of both armies that it is among * the choicest of heaven's bounties J that their lives have been lengthened 1 out until they behold the glorious 1 day in which American liberties are * safer than ever before, for disunion * \ is not longer thinkable: the people c of the United States are more united \ today than they ever have been at 1 kany time since the gun was discharged at Lexington, the sound of which I echoed around the world. ^ FIRST TO DEDICATE TABLET. 8 "The brave soldiers of the Twenty- J third New Jersey are not the first, 1 either Federal or Confederate, that <have done honor to those who were * Jtheir opponents in the Civil war. s ^^^ nSn^ar^oralor7thank (Jod, both s ^^^^flfcorthern and Southern, has delight- 1 his audience by patriotic sentialong this line.

SEES MURDER IN DREAM. Ran Awakes To Find Woman Slain in Next Apartment.

The victim of the murder was Mrs. Catherine Killoran, twenty-nine years old, who lived in an adjoining apartment, and her husband, James, is held by the police on suspicion of having stabbed her to death. The woman was found dead in the kitchen of their flat. There were six cuts on the head and numerous bruises on the body. The victim's husband, from whom she had been living apart, called on her Tuesday night. Peter Henry, a neighbor, who was with the husband when he was found, has been held as a witness. Killoran denies all knowledge of the crime. He declares that he and his wife retired about 1 o'clock Wennesday morning, and that when he awoke, a few hours later, Mrs. Killoran was not in bed. He got up and found her dead and . covered with blood on the kitchen floor. Then he went for Henry to teil him of the 1 L.

Several occupants of the house where the Killorans lived told the police they heard the couple quarrelling Tuesday night. From Flinn, who lives on the same floor, but in the rear, they learned that Killoran and his wife had apparently quarrelled at 11 o'clock Tuesday night. Flinn said he had heard the woman say: "Don't do that; you will kill me." Later he heard groans and then went to sleep. Then Flinn said he had a dream, in which he saw a man chase a woman around a flat and stab her three times with a knife. PRK1HCTS I?AV OF INK>M. "Ijist of tlie Prophets" Says It Is Nineteen .Months Away. Lee L. Spangler, who has styled himself for a nnmKor r\f .......... ? v. .tuoiwi ux .reals tu "the Last of the Prophets," has issued another of his remarkable bulletins. This time he is more specific in his statements. He now asserts that the world will come to an end in nineteen months. He warns all the people to beware and look out for the dissolution of the world. Spangler says there will be no more seasons; that summer and winter will be as one, and there will not be any way of telling one from the other. Snow in July need not be a surprise, and sleigh riding is likely to be one of the summer pastimes. He adds: "There will be more black spots to occur on the sun's disk, and by the latter part of 1908 the sun will be entirely black. The earthquakes will shake all the principal cities of the nations. Great excursion wrecks will occur, and there will be great distress in the land until the end shall come." .1 /MTuran rt yvjCiJC/iv IjllAltiitj. A Man Accused of Making His Sister Swallow Needles.

If His Reforms Are of a Substantial Character There Ought to lie Some Other Republican Sufficiently Identified With Them to Represent m ^ - * " ? a iii-iu us vitiiuiuuie," says urynn of Roosevelt. Wm. Jennings Bryan during the course of an interview at Baltimore, Wednesday with a representitive of the News in reply to a question as to what is the most important princi pal to be applied at this time, said: "The Jeffersonian maxim?-equal rights to all, and special privileges to none?embodies the government principle whose application is most needed. The abuses of which the people complain arise from the violation of this principle. "Both Jefferson and Jackson : poinieu out tne evns oi lavoritism and privilege and those evils are especially noticeble at this time when great corporations have secur- < ed such an influence in Dolitics. "Favoritism in government oper- 1 ates always in the interest of the few and against the masses. The > j>eople as a whole can obtain no spe- ' cial favors from the government. 1 If the people tried to vote themsel ves subsidies they would have to pay the increased taxes and thus take the money out of one pocket and put it into the other pocket. This would not only cost them as much 1 as was collected but they would have ; to pay the expenses of collection and J distribution. "The remedy lies in withdrawal of the priviledges in so far as the 1 evil rests upon privilege and a restraint on corporations insofar as ( the corporations have overstepped ' the law." Referring to his attitude relative to the licensing of so-called trusts, 1 Mr. Bryan said: "It has been criticised by some i who spend more time objecting to ! remedies than they do proposing ^ remedies, but the license system which I advocate was indorsed in ! the Kansas City platform seven ' years ago. "We have a few Democrats whose ] sympathies are with the trusts, and 1 n *? > * - ' exilic tfciuwi aw) are aiways aiarmetl 1 when a remedy is proposed. If the remedy is proposed by a state such | Democrats are afraid that it in- 1 terferes with the federal govern- 1 ment, and if it is proposed by the J federal government they are afraid ' it interferes with the state. 1 "The people will not take th<?ir 5 democracy from the employes of the trusts who earn their salaries hy 1 choroforming the public, while the s pockets of the people are being pick- l ed." 1 THE THIRD TERM. j Relative to a third term for any ( occupant of the presidential office, t Mr. Bryan said:' s "When in congress I endeavored c to secure an amendment to the con- v stitution making the president ineli- t gible for a second term, and in both [ of my campaigns I announced that if elected I would not be a candi- t date for a second term. I would i hardly look favorably: therefore, s upon a third term. v "I assume that the president will c adhere to the opinion which he has f expressed on the subject and will c not be a candidate again. It would t be a reflection upon the success of v his administration, if, coming in by an enormous majority, he had so re- s duced the popularity of his party as c to ni&ke it impossible for any other j, Republican to be elected. h "If his reforms are of a substan- j, tial character there ought to be n n auiuc- uuier lu'puoncan sufficiently n identified with them to represent them as a candidate. It would be j, strange if the president was strong gj enough to violate the anti-third term a precedent set by Washington, Jef- .r ferson, Madison, Monroe and Jack- ^ son, and yet was not able to develop ^ a worthy Republican successor."

Says Science Has Proved the Exist* encc of Spirits.?They Should Be Let Alone. Georce M &>orio .Mtn. c ? ?? - 1V| * WUV1 VI tllC | Paulist Fathers' Catholic church New York, caused a sensation by his ser- < mon last Sunday morning in which ' he declared his belief in spiritism. ? Thursday he consented to elaborate ' his views, as follows: , "What I wished my audience to i understand is, in the first place, that \ though there will, of course, be , found here and there in spiritistic i seances some attempts at fraud or ! trickery, particularly where there is . money to be made by it, phenomena < often occur in them which cannot be ( accounted for in this way. "These have been carefully examined by scientific men, and those who * have done so agree that those phenomena indicate forces entirely beyond our normal powers and it is practically certain that these forces arc directed by intelligence which are not of this world. The only question is, what are these intelligences? "They pretend to be deceased human souls, and support their pretensions by what are called "proofs of identity.' That is they know many events in the earthly life of those whom they represent which could not , naturally be known to the medium or others who had not been acquaint- , ed with them personally. But they i fail in other points which ought to i be as well known, if they really were t what they pretend. ? "Furthermore, they fail to agree ' in their description of their present j state, in their teachings about God, j about Christ, and religious matters generally. Truth should agree with ] itself; falsehood, whether coming i from ignorance or malice, will dis- i agree. It, therefore, appears that these intelligences are not what they claim to be; and it seems more prob-" able that they are deceitful than that i Lhey are ignorant. "Besides, their control of a medium, when habitual, has been known to culminate in what is called diabol- ( ic possession; and in no case does it ' seem to have had a good moral ef- t feet. "Also, the spirits communicating < seem to have a dread of spirits and if the rites of the Catholic church. I * know specially of one case in which t i priest, going incognito to a seance , for investigation, was requested by t them not use holy water. t "On account of all these reasons, < as well as of the distinct prohibition 5 n Scripture (Deut. xviii: 2) of such performances, which are by no means f nerely modern, the church is abso- c utely opposed to them, and considers * :hem as extremely dangerous to our . salvation." Dr. Searle is a man of high scienific attainments, and his name is associated with astronomical research j. md discovery among savants all over he world He was formerly a Congregational minister in Boston and las oeen connected with Harvard j observatory and with the observa;ory at Georgetown college. He as- ? serts positively that spirits can be ? :ommunicated with through medi- a lms, and believes that these spirits ire evil ones?fallen angels?who t rnve never inhabited a human body, t Dr. Searle said that in his sermon h hat only ignorant persons now deny ? he existence of spirits and the ims- 8 ibility of human communication ? vith them. He is a member of the t, Society for Physical Research and a ^ riend of Father Paupert, who show- k d the "spirit pictures" in his lec- n ure before the Catholic club last Ii ireek. "The overwhelming probability," aid the preacher, "is that the spirits ommunication are either devils or ist human souls subject to devils in ell. These devils are not confined i their operation to a local hell. Such lay be the case after general judg- ^ lent, but not now. ^ Warning his hearers against exper- ^ nenting in this field, Dr. Searle ^ aid in his sermon that endeavor to scertain the truth about the depart- a, d means of seances is not only a iy raste of time, but extremely dan- tz erous.
