Songs In the livening.
Thnt Memorial Day Is yearly becom
ing a more and more deeply fixed Insti
tution was dcmotiMitrntcil yesterdny by
the general observance It received
every wheiv. Hcrnntnn nnd tho towns
In Its vicinity were not behind in their
laudable desire to pay tribute tn the
loyal men who Tuivo guno to that
bourne from which no weary traveler
returns.
During the morning; hours the
Braves of the soldiers were made beau
tiful by fresh gat'lamls of flowers
placed there by loving hands, after
which exercises were held In the ceme
teries, nt which patriotic words were
spoken by elmiucnt orators, and songs
appropriate 'to the occhkIhui rendered.
Notwlth-tandlng tho oppressive heat
of the afternoon tho votTnns were
present In the parade In lnrgc numbers
nnd though some of them must have
endured much while pushing over the
lino of march they stuck heroically to
the column nnd vied with each other
In assuming a sprightly step when
passing the rovtewlnu; stand. It wns
a most creditable demonstration nnd
was witnessed by thousands who
massed themselves on the sidewalks
all along the route .traversed by tho
marchers.
At night there were patriotic exer
cises under the auspices of tho Grand
Army posts at tho Academy of Music
and Young Men's Christian Association
hall, which attracted large audiences,
nnd as the curtains wore rung down
another Memorial Day had passed
Ir.o history,
FOREST HILL CEMETERY.
F.xcrciscs nnd Speeches In thnt City of
the Pcnd.
The services at Forest Hill cemetery
were under the charge of Commander
Smith B.-Mott. Two regiments of boys
and girls, representing the pupils of
schools No. 27 and 2S, sane; "America"
In the opening exercises, after which
Comrade E. W. Pearco read the roll call
of the dead. Forty girls, each carrying
flowers, took their positions nt the
graves and pledged themselves to the
flag.
Mrs. Etta L. Pearce, president of the
Women's Relief corps, presented a
beautiful floral pillow dedicated to
"The Unknown Dead," and a graceful
response was made by Rev. N. F. Stahl.
The Sons of Veterans also made their
offerings to the departed soldiers.
Colonel F. L. Hitchcock made an elo
quent oration, In the course of which
he said: ' I
If old Father Time swings his scythe
with remorseless hand through the v.-iilen-Ing
ranks of our comrades, so thnt the Inst
sad march, the mutlled drum, the mus
ketry volley and the bugle sounding taps,
are almost ever present as the quickening
i,r nf the vears move on, let us rejoice,
let us rejoice that he deals more gently
with the dead. Behind the grlm-vlsnged
specter let us rather behold the real death
angel, whose tender office It Is to call us
from the scenes of life's battles to the
tented fields of the unseen world, to make
our tlnal encampment amid calmer skies
"where there Bhall be no more nignt, nnu
sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
Shakespeare has said::
"The evil that men do, lives after them;
the good is oft Interred with their bones."
Takes Issue with the Poet.
I take Issue with this old and oft-repeated
aphorism. The poet gives it utterance ns
poisoned half-truth to Inflame tho pas
sions of a mob. While It Is true that the
evil that men do lives after them, It Is not
true that tho good that men do Is ever, or
can ever be, burled with their bones. The
good that men do is born of flod, nnd as
He Is eternal, it likewise must be eternal.
We are not hore today to pass fresh eulo
gies upon our sleeping comrades, but fol
lowing tho loving example of nature all
about us, wo are here to strew their rest
ing places with garlands of flowers, to re
call their fnmlllar forms nnd faces and
for a brief time hold communion with
them.
We have placed upon each prave a min
iature copy of "Old Glory," under whoso
silken folds they marched so well when
country called. This llttlo emblnm tells
for them n story of patriotic service, and
sacrillce that shall grow brighter and
richer ns tho years roll by. It Is a part
of the great story of love nnd patriotism
which has ennobled humanity In all tho
ages and In which our own beloved coun
try has so grand a share.
From nil over our hnppy lnnd, thin
Memorial Day, morn than a million specter
faces are peering oit upon us from tho
ithiirliiws of the uns:-n world. Three bun.
drcd thousand fathers, husbands, brothers,
sons, laid down their lives on tho battle
field, of whom a multitude sleep In un
known graves. A million more perished
in hospitals and prisons; many amid
scenes of sufferings and privations which
shall not bo described today. Another
million brought homo tho seeds nnd scors
of war, to tnke up tho unequal struggle of
life, and have fallen tinder the burden.
These are tho loved ones whose momories f
we recall and who speak to us today.
From them comes no mesago of repining,
glad wero they to glvo tbemselvos when
country cnlled; no drop of that strenm of
blood, nor an ounce of tho burden would
be recalled If It oould. It was glvon that
tho country might live, hut Its undying
condition wns, nnd Is, that blood-bought
lire should be preserved. That Is tholr
message to lis today. It Is tho blood
legncy from the dead to the living, nnd
woe be unto the living if they shall evor
forget It. The country they fought to save
was that country whoso foundation stone
was the "equal and inullcnluble rights of
all men."
Hope Thnt Will Do Endorsed.
It was laid in tho blood of the fnthers
and cemented by that of their children.
Let us hope that It had Its final baptism
of blood In the great struggle of the re.
belllon.

Muses Morey was In charge of the

ments were well carried out. After the
"roll call of tho dead" had been read, a
selection was, rendered by the Cathedral
choir, nl'tor which Rev. J. A. O'Reilly
offered prayer in upproprlute nnd
touching hiniTU.iiio.
An eloquent address was delivered by
Rev. l. J. MeMiinus, orator of the day.
In tho course of which thu reverend
gentleman said:
Will you allow the merit of the heroes
of the civil war to bn forgottun or belit
tled through your Indifference or neglect
to study tint meaning and the ract,s con
fern I nit the terrible eontllet which pre
served the Union? My calling, It Will bn
said, should prevent me from trying to
keep iillve events which will revive memo
ries which should be hurled in' oblivion.
Thin would bo true If the sturdy patriot
ism which preserved the Union prevailed,
and If we hail not to contend against such
traitors to freedom ns the nngloinitnlncs,
the A. !'. A.'s nnd the trimmers who arc
alwuys npnloiflalnir fur the courage, and
belittling the merit of thu veternns whom
we delight to honor.
What Tlicy Threaten to IX).
These people threaten to destroy renl
patriotism, to belittle the merit of our sol
diers, to undermine the principles of tol
eration and freedom on whlili our govern
ment rosts, and to weaken thu patriotic:
spirit of our youth by Instilling Into them
thnt 'they nro Anglo-H ixons and not
Americans, und that patriotism consists
III Joining secret societies which would de
prive American citizens, on account of
their religion, of the rlcht to life, liberty
nnd the pursuit of happiness. That we may
revive tho spirit of "ill, and show what the
preservation of our government means
and cost it will Ijo well for those assembled
here to reflect on tho magnitude of tho
late civil war.
During the continuation of the war nnd
when pence had been won there was no
question as to the religion of tho patriots
who were in the army and wo were all
proud of being Americans. There Is no
question of religion today nnd no spirit of
siilmilHSlon to the English abroad who
forged tho cannons which killed our sol
diers, nor to tho Anglo-Saxons In America
who would destroy thu patriotism of tho
people, among thoso who know what lib
erty means and who endure sacrifices
which have animated our people with tho
truo spirit of patriotism which defends its
citizens In nil their rights, civil and relig
ious, nnd is ready to be aroused agalnBt
any and all enemies, domestic nnd for
eign. Matter of Discrimination,
I hnve brought this subject of discrim
ination against Americans because of their
religion to your notice today because I am
speaking in the presence of the defenders
of liberty and of my country thnt they
may know that there nre enemies of free
dom conspiring against the peaceful rela
tionship that exls-ts among all classes in
this lnnd which thulr sacrifices preserved.
Am I an alarmist? When a member of
the state senate Is rebuked by an agent of
a secret society Jbecause ho did not do as
tho latter wished and that within a short
distance of Gettysburg Is not freedom
scorned In her own home, nnd to whom
will 1 confide my fears that liberty Is en
dangered except to her protectors, the
Union soldiers? I turn to them as nat
urally as the child learning to walk turns
to Its mother's watchful care.
They and their sacrifices will plead
against intolerance and tench the Ameri
can pcoplo to stifle prejudice which other
wise may lead to war. I have tried to
show what war means tint our hopes may
be properly appreciated, that all true pa
triots may be Induced to do their utmost
to preservo tho pelvce which was so dearly
bought and that If war should prevail that
we may nil be animated by the spirit of
the soldiers of the Civil War to preserve
tho Union nnd to ensure tho rights of
American citizenship, which the constitu
tion gunrnntees, to every citizen of this
glorious land of liberty.
Concluding tho Exorcises.
After tho oration the exercises were
soon concluded, owing to the Intense
heat. Tho salute to the dead having
been given, the Cathedral choir sang
"The Soldier's Itequlem" with great
pathos. Itev. J. A. O'Reilly pronounced
tho benediction, and the exercises were
brought to a close by the sounding of
taps by Professor Itlchards. "
WASHBURN STREET.
Tho Services Thnt Wero Held In Thnt
Cemetery.
Decoration Day wns obesrved with a
solemnity befitting: the occasion at the
Washburn street cemetery, where sleep
mnny of tho boys of '01. The services
wero the same ns customnry In bygone
yenrs, but never hns such a large crowd
iiHsembled to do honor to tho dead
soldiers.
Nearly every grave showed care of
loving hands. Tho procession, headed
by Revs. Hell, Hughes nnd Doty,
marched from the Franklin Engine
house to the cemetery. In the ranks
were many members of both Orlflln and
Monies posts, paying; the annual re
spect to their dead comrades. A plat
form had been erected In the cemetery,
around which Rnthered mnny thou
sands of people to hear the services.
Immediately upon the arrival of the

tional chuch choir, led by Ellas B,
TCvnns. sang tho "Btnr Spangled Ilan-
ner" with patriotic feeling, itev. I). C.

church, prayed, nnd the mnlo part of
tho choir rendered a selection,
Rov. Mr. Holy's Address.
The Rev, F. P. I5oty addressed the
audience on the subject "Decoration
Day." Mr. Doty mentioned the pur
pose for which tho day was observed,
and talked at length In a patriotic
strain. The speaker pnld an eloquent
tribute to tho dead heroes, and touched
upon tho loyallty of the soldiers who
fought In the war. At the conclusion
of Itev. Doty's speech, the Itev. Mr.
Thomns Hell, of tho Plymouth Congre
gational church, arose and delivered a
stirring; address on the subject "Three
Lessons for Memorial Dny." In brief
the points were enthusiastic patriotism,
higher appreciation of our social Insti
tution, and righteousness exalteth a
nation. The speuker was logical In his
remarks, drawing his discourse In a
sequence of thought, to an eloquent
climax.-. After the sermon the distri
bution of floral tributes to the dead was
begun. Comrade S. Y. Houpt rend tho
list of names Of the soldiers that were
burled In the cemetery,, then each
veteran obtained two bouquets and as
many flags, and graves were visited.
Each comrade had charge of two
graves, and the distributers separated
In Various directions for the places that
had been assigned thorn. After the
services mnny that were thore strolled
about tho city of the dead, now In Its
most beautiful condition.
SOUTH SIDE CEMETERIES.
Services Hold Over the Graves of Bnrled
Comrades.
To the soldier dead marked honors
wero pnld by residents of tho South
Hldo. Business was practically sus
pended and the houses wero decorated
In patrlotlo colors. Hervloes of the'day
were conducted at Plttstun avenue and
at the Twentieth wahl aerman cemo
terlos. At I'lttston, avenuo cemetery a de
tachment from Colonel Monies Post,
No. 31!), conducted the exercises. Lino
of march was formed at headquarters,

AtiKUst Lnnge, pastor of thu
Hickory Street Presbyterian church,
nnd disabled veterans had the position
nt tho head of the colifmn. Comrade
K. L. Huns was In command.
The exercises at the cemetery were
most Impressive nnd were watched
with . Interest by a large number of
people. The veterans lined around the
Ki'nvn of the late John Rosen und there
began tho programme. The roll call of
the dead showeil that the comrades

Selections hv tho Choir.
ITnder the leadership of Professor
John Lenten, the choir of the Hickory
Street Presbyterian church sang the
two hymns, "It Is Well With My Houl"
nnd "Cover Them Over With licnutlfiil
Flowers." The Memorial Dny services
were conducted by 'the veterans, nnd
Itev. August Lange, being Introduced,
spoke briefly nnd Imparted the bene
diction. The orator of the occasion,
Attorney A. V. Bowers, began his ad
dress and delivered nn eloquent and
patriotic, one. He pnld a plowing trib
ute to the men who marched on the
battle field nnd fought thnt the Union
might bn preserved. This country, he
siitd. Is foremost In religion and rov
ernment among the nations of the
earth, nnd too much honor can Jiot bo
done to the memory of those 'heroes
who laid down their lives ns a sacri
fice.
The success of the past nnd the hopes
of the future nre tn be attributed to the
coalescence of religion with the gov
ernment. When the hardy band of
Puritan pilgrims came to this country
In their storm-tossed ship across a
wild and wintry ocean, their prayers
went up to Clod, and Plymouth was
dedicated with religious fervor. In the
dark days of the Revolutionary war
when the blood stains of the soldier's
naked feet could be seen In the snow
and Ice, the lmhiortal Washington did
not despair, but he retired to the se
clusion of tho forest and poured forth
his supplication to the Almighty or
the success of the Continental army.
And In the late civil war the honored
Abrnham Lincoln In the White house,
sought the assistance of his Heavenly
father for the preservation of the
Union. The veterans again fell In line
nnd marched back to headquarters,
where they dispersed.
At German Catholic Cemetery.
At St. Mary's German Catholic ceme
tery tho exercises were conducted by
the detachment from Lieutenant Ezra
S. Griffin Post. No. 139, In command of
Comrade L. L. Adams. Comrade L. D.
Powers was olllccr of the day. The
exercises began at 11 o'clock and con
tinued until noon. Rev. George G.
Stopper, of St. Mary's German Cath
olic church, wns the orator of the dny,
and he also conducted tho religious
exercises.
The roll call of the dead wns as fol
lows: John Lockro, Frldolln Renk,
Casper Schnf, Mathias Schneider and
Jacob Relpcr. Father Stopper's ad
dress was a patriotic nnd eloquent one.
The children of St.. Mn.ry's German
Catholic parochial school, under1 the
leadership of Organist Ackermnn, of
the church, sang beautifully "America"
and "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean."
