elaborate exercises by the veterans of

Bcranton, many of the civic societies
of the city co-operatlnff with them;
and even though the rain descended
heavily while the parade was in pro
gress in the afternoon, the depressing
effect was temporary, and the veterans
can be proud of their courage in brav
ing the storm and following out the line
of march just he Bame as it ine nj

Drops of rain were sprinkling while
the paiade wa forming, but in? sky

the storm would restrain Itself f'r a
period. Several thousand people wete
In town In holiday attire, a majority of
the Htors and buidnens places vre
closed. ami the sense of patriotic feeling
was everywhere apparent. The old
soldiers felt liuppy, for not In recent
years' has there been a more united
effort to honor Memorial Day.
In the morning early the various de
tails of veterans were on hand ready
to begin decorating the graves of their
fullen comrades; and the exercises at
the cemeteries were Inspiring and be

son and James McGuiness, officers ot

LINE OF MARCH.
The first division formed on Adams
avenue and as It marched down Spruce
street second division, which formed on
Washington avenue, fell In. In like
manner third and fourth divisions took
their places as Wyoming and Penn ave
nues were passed. The line of march
was down Spruce street to Franklin
avenue, to Lackawanna, to Adams, to
Spruce street, to Jefferson, to Vine, to
Washington, to Gibson, countermarch
ing at thin point and passing in reviow
opposite the court house. But there
was not any review.
But when the procession reached the
upper part of Lackawanna avenue a
heavy shower broke forth. This caused
muny of the marchers among the civic
societies to make haste for shelter.
The soldiers of the Thirteenth, the old
veterans and a majority of the Ancient
Order societies remained In their places
and marched along with every stitch
on them wringing wet. The ruin sent the
sightseers about the streets home as
quickly as street cars could carry them

The Grand Army service was conduct
ed and after It Rev. Father McManus
spoke. In part he spoke as follows:
"There are some) people who are try
ing to reconcile the old Isoldlers to the
fact that this generation seeks enjoy-
""''ft on this day, which Is dedicated to
xne memory oi me ueparien soldiers
f ? cur glorious war. These people are
friends of the old soldiers, and they re
gret that Memorial Day seems to have
lost Its meaning, and they explain that
as it is bo long since the late war the
people of the present cannot be ex
pected to be affected by the same feel
ings that prompt the veterans to make
their annua visits to the cemeteries.
Without disagreeing with well mean
ing friends or agreeing with those who
would change this day Into one of en
tire distraction and amusement, Is
there not a medium which would not
outrage the feelings of the old soldiers
and be satisfactory to those who wish
to enjoy advantages, which a free day
gives them? Do you not teach how
this can be done by your example? You
enter here with serious thoughts to per
form a serious duty and your serious
ness Is Inereared by solemn music and
by the thoughts which the absence from
your ranks of so many comrades causes
you to have.
APPRECIATION KEPT ALIVE.
"You find here men who deliver ad
dresses to keep alive appreciation of
you and your departed comrades, and
every year an increasing number of
stalwart young men and sympathetic
women join with you In your labor of
love anu rememoroncc. j)o not your
nearts oounu witn exultation, and are
not your emotions aroused at the ap
preciation shown for your de.oartod
comrades, and for what you and they
uia anu wnen you leave tne cemetery
dqes not the fact that your admirers
ana friends are with you, give a new
inspiration to the strains of patriotic,
glorious mu.ile to which you mnrch7
Will you grudge amusement to those
who have been eo thoughtful of vou.
and who acknowledge that they owe
an max preserves, nappiness to them
In this world to you?
"Take a leaf from the history of my
church. It teaches that we are not to
mourn for the departed as those do who
are without .hope of etert.al life, and
that those who died for religion are
martyrs, thou who suffered for It are
confessora, and that we are to rejoice
at the heroism of the survivors who
suffered, and the courage of those who
died. Are you not the confessors of pa
triotism and your departed comrades
Its martyrs?
INFLUENCE ON THE YOUTH.
"After paying the sad rites due to your
departed comrades do you wonder tf
the young, who have reflected on what
their heroes did and how they are ap
preciated, feel that they can honor them
living and dead by glorying In your
suffering and in the noble sacrifice of
your departed comrades? Do you wish
them to retain only sad memories? This
la Memorial Day. What do we com
memorate? Regret for the departed?
Yes, and pride In their deeds and your
trials have brought us too much sun
light for gloom to long abide with us.
The time has come for the old soldiers
to speak out. and I think they will say,
a preserved and redeemed nation
should cause over the gravea of Its
dead, but should not linger there long.
Its defenders do not wish to he too long
mourned; they wish glory and fame and
their children taught to Imitate their
example If the hour of trial should come
to them.) It is natural for the old sol
diers and the families of the departed to
remember their loss, but now they
should be reconciled and glory In the
fame of thed rpa.rted when they realize
how grateful the whole American peo
ple are for what their martyrs gained.
When the people Join with the veterans
In their memorial services they should
be taught to shed a tear that their de
fenders In the time which tried men's
souls are going so fust, but they should
be also taught to rejoice In the fame of
their heroes and to glory In their
deeds."
WASHBURN STRLET CEMETERY.
Addresses Given by Rev. F. P. Doty
and Rev. John II. Sweet.
Commander E. L. Haas, of Monies
post, had charge of the services at the
Washburn Street cemetery. Before
and after the Grand Army service,
hymnB were sung by the eholr of the
Hampton Street Methodist Episcopal
church, of which Rev. F. P. Doty la
pastor. Rev. John B. Sweet, of Simp
sen Mcthodirt Episcopal church, was
the first speaker. He said that time's
rapid advance does not diminish the
fraternal spirit that rests in the heart
of the old soldier. It was nn eloquent
address and bestowed many beautiful
tributes u;on the heroes living and
dead who went to the front In the time
of the nation's peril and battled for the
rieht.
Rev. Mr. Doty, In his address, was
not less mindful of the honors due the
surviving heroes and their dead com
rades. He said:
"This, the greatest country in all the
earth, though comparatively new, ha
a history in part written, but a Inrge
part of Its history is as yet unwritten
Our history may be divided into three
periods. First, the formative period in
which out of chaos came forth order.
namely, the colonization of the coun
try and then the union of the colonies
under a form of government; second
the period of development in which the
provisions of the constitution were in a
measure secured; third, the period ot
progress. In which the land In a certain
sense became the home of the free, and
though bleeding at every pore took on
new life and energy. With thlB latter
period, many present are only too well
Informed, having passed through the
ordeals and followed the flag through
scenes of carnage and unspeakable
woe. Gathering like a stormy cloud
came the issues that precipitated the
conflict and launched the nation upon
the sea of blood.
"The crisis came. By traitor hands.
the Stars and Stripes were torn dowry
and trailed In the dust. The first gun
Bred on Fort Sumter thrilled the blood
which coursed through the veins of ev
ery patriot In the land. Breathlessly
men gathered. One sentiment .filled
every loyal heart, The union, it must
and shall be preserved. Four years of
relentless war followed. A hundred
battles by land and by sea tell the
story of the carnage and the conflict.
Peace carne at last. Thirty-one years
have gone by since the last gun was
fired In the great civil war. The ram
parts which marked the bnttlelleld
have been leveled by storm and by the
ploughshare. , No more the bugle note
calls to arms. The war Is past. Yes
past, but not forgotten. Standing
wnere we can look over those battle
fields, we cannot forget the hulf mil
lion brave men who died on the Holds,
In the hospitals or In prison pens."
AT DUNMORE CEMETERIES.
Rev. Edward J. Ilnugiiton' Eloquent
Address in Protestant Cemetery.
One of the most eloquen t addresses of
the day wub given by Rev. Edward J
Haughton, of St. Mark's church, Dun
more, at Dunmore Protestant cemetery,
George F. Mlllett had charge of the
exreises and conducted the Grand Ar
my ervlce. Music wus rendered bv a se
lected choir. Rev. Mr. Haughton's ad
dress was as follows:
"It Is with a sincere sense of my unfit
ness mat i, a youin wno has never
smelled powder In battle nor seen the
carnage of war, undertake today to
say a lew words of the great civil con
flict of thirty-one years ago and cele
brate the work of the noble heroes.
Yet as representing those of this gener
ation who are enjoying the fruits of
their victories and the great peace anil
prosperity which they won, I realize a
duty, an honor and a privilege lnid up
on me to say something. Indeed only
something can be said in the time at our
disposal for it would take many men
many days to say the hnlf what might
ne told. Jt will take generations to ful
ly realize Its effects.
"That there should be war seems to
many to be nothing but unrighteous
barbarism; that is ridiculous sav
agery to slay men In order to maintain
a principle and etabllsh a cause; or
that might makes rlfrht rather than
sound judgment nnd jiift reason. Yet
when reason has done her utmost and
overtures have proved vain, when re
sistance to the right has been organized
and becomes aggressive, then the state
must be protected and the right main
tained to the bitterest end and the last
drop of blood. Riches and wealth,
home and friends, even life must be sac
rificed for the Integrity, the unity, tho
solidarity of society nnd the nation, for
unless this is maintained the very ex
istence of our homes and our individual
right and privileges are Insecure, are in
open danger of invasion and capture.
VALUE OF LIBERTY.
How dear to us are, and should ever
be, the federal authority which protects,
the home which nurtures and shelters
and the personal rights which give us
freedom of uctlon, liberty and a chance
for progress and development. More
over the claims of the common human
ity of black and white ot all men Irre
spective of class or color are a some
thing Invlolubly sacred to the true
American mind and spirit. Our nation
owes Its foundation to the Inspiration of
the spirit of freedom. She Is the latest,
and best, and highest o.vspring of lib
erty. Liberal laws, equal rights, free
Institutions and an enlightened, pro
gressive . spirit are her great, proud,
distinguishing characteristics. Any
thing antflgonlstic.forelgn or opposed to
these thingB cannot long subsist among
us. we cannot and will not tolerate nor
endure It.
"Therefore, my noble, heroic friends
of the Grand Army of the Republic, you
took up arms and fought the glorious
fight. to vindicate the cause of freedom,
to maintain the constitution, to pre
serve the Integrity of tho tuition and
to purge the land of an Incubus which
would have over been a disgrace to lib
erty and an insuperable barrier to pro
gress and development. Thus it was a
struggle, for all that was near, dear
and essential In American life, progress
nnd nationality. In former ages and In
other lands, men fought and died to sat
isfy whimsical caprices of tyrannical
ruler. Many In other days and now
have fought from lust of conquest and
insane ambition of empty glory. But
not aa you. my heroes. For freedom,
for liberty, for country and home you
spent your wealth, your effort and your
blood.
And how nobly, how heroically you
did It In the valleys of the Mississippi.
Tennessee, Potomac and Shenandoah
and the Cmberland, in Ueorgta and the
mountains. For this the nation and the
age sing your praises and for the bless
ed fruits of your hard-fought. Mood
bought victories posterity will magnify
your names anil Mess the memories) of
Lincoln, Grant. Sherman. Hancock.
Sides, etc., and those they led at Get
tysburg, Antietnm, Richmond and the
triumphial march from the mountains
to the sea.
OTHER BLESSINGS OBTAINED.
"Nor Is It only for what you have
preserved, maintained and handed
down to us intact, that we of this gen
eration have to thank you, our heroes
of the sword and rlile, but also for pro
gress and development, improvement
andp prosperity ensured. It has been
since and largely owing to the victory
whlen you gained that our country has
achieved Its greater fame and made its
largest, most extensive and productive
growth. Arts, sciences and Industries
have developed hy leaps and bounds
with ruch rapidity and success as to
set the old world agog with wonder and
aivjutoment.
"Nnturril resources have everywhere
been thoroughly developed; the great
west colonixed, organised and Bet In a
course of phenomenal growth; the
south once overrun and Impoverished
by slavery and the institutions which
went with it. Is disclosing its pristine
wealth of natural store in a way which
was previously impossible under the
conditions you ahollshed. In a word,
by maintaining the Integrity of the na
tion anil constitution, you made pro
gress and development possible to our
people In Its highest, broadest sense.
It is only as we stand shoulder to
shoulder and work In union, that we can
ever hope to advance common Interests
and common good. Blessed are ye
that ye have lived to see so many fruits
of your struggle and share In their en
joyment. Twice blessed are we who
have come into such a priceless herit
age. May the Ood of nations and of
battles, who gave victory to your cause,
long spare your sliver hair and may
Memorial Day never be dropped from
our country's calendar."
