Lesson That Wns Drawn.
For the speclnl benefit of the six city
companies of the Thirteenth regiment
services of a memorial nature com
memorative of Grant nnd the nt
proachlng dedication of the tomb wcrp
held last night In the Penn Avenue
Baptist church. Rev. Dr. Joseph K.
Dixon delivered a stlirlng nddress, and
he had for an audience so many per
sons In nddltion to the guardsmen that
the seating capacity of the church was
Insufficient. Chairs were tised and
the steps lending to the auditorium
were occupied, nnd a number went
away after llndlng themselves unable
to nrocure sents.
Large Hags decorated the space about
the pulpit and organ loft, nnd there
was a stack of arms on either side of
a bust of Giant In front of the pul
pit. A souvenir programme printed
In red, white nnd blue, tho product of
The Ttlbune's job department, were
distributed. The programme con
tained a vlgnetto of the dead chief
tain, an excellent half-tone picture of
the great mausoleum and the oraer of
exercises. The singing Included tho
hymns, "Onward, Christian Soldiers"
and the Rattle Hymn of the Republic,
sung to the nlr of "Glory Hallelujah."
The companies present were A, U, C
and D of tho cential city, F, of the
west side, and II, of tho north end.
They were under the immediate com
mand of their respective captains and
under the general command of Lieutenant-Colonel
C. C. Mattes.
Dr. Dixon's discourse was entitled
"The Hero of Appomattox " His texts
were "Put up the sword Into the
hheath," Jesus in John xiilll, nnd
"Let us have peace," Giant In ac
cepting tho presidential nomination In
ISfiS. Dr. Dixon said:
Tho south wind had called out tho ar
butus, tho crocus and the lolet. The
April nlr wns redolent, for the magnolia
had hung out her banners of bloom.
Spring had broken tho seal of winter nnd
let out tho Imprisoned music. In awful
and tragic contrast tho waves of battle
surged through the lines at Petersburg,
and with simultaneous shock broke down
tho adamantine walls nbout Richmond
that had fo- four jeais ballletl and dolled
twentv millions of people. Lee marched
his troops westward In several columns on
both banks of the Appomattox, Grant was
hot on his track, .Meade and Ord and
Sheridan, with Infantry and cavalry, were,
eager on his flank, and there was soon to
be a sunet to the hone of this distin
guished and Intrepid thief tain.
Every whither there was the roar of
booming cannon, the hurrjlng tread of
horsemen, tho crash of eplodlng shell,
the solemn tread of Infantry every
whither brave men rushed Into the clos.
Ing conflict baptized the soil with their
blood as though they had water with
which to charge tho soil; bouses along the
lino of mareh were used as hospitals; tho
men did not wait to sleep away the fa
tigue of weary mirching and uni emit
ting lighting, but with cheers and deaf
ening shouts they received orders which
pr.ssed from regiment to regiment to1
press the foe the time had come to com
pel Leo to surrender. Grant nnd a few
orderlies were riding through the dirkness
of the night to hold a counsel of war with
Sheridan It was a midnight conference
tho dashing officer came down stairs rub
bing his eyes which were soon to Hash
with tho certainty of glorious victory
On the back of a letter he pointed out the
position of Lee's men and tho location of
his own column". "I wan't him to tako
this position," he ald, "so I can swing
round there. Then -we'll havo cveiy
mother's son of them."
HE WROTE TO LEE.
Hesitating to shed moro blood, Grant
wrote Lee: "The result of tho last week
must convince you of the hopelessness of
further resistance on the pan of tho
Army of Northern Virginia In this strug
gle. I feel that It is so, and regard it as
my duty to shift from niv.self the re
sponsibility of any further effusion of
blood bj asking jou to surrender that
portion of tho Confederate states nrmv
known as tho Arm of Northern Virginia."
In another communication Immediately
following In answer to Lee's lnoulilf3 as
to the terms of surrender, General Grant
replied: "I would say that peaco being
my great dcslie, there Is but one condi
tion 1 would Insist upon, namely, that the
men and olllccis surrendered shall bo cils
qualllled for taking up arms again against
tho government of the United States un
til propirlv exchanged "
Everj student of history Is familiar with
tho marvelous progiamme entered upon
by him whoso tomb tho nation will dedi
cate on next Tuesdav the moments are
too swift for me to even hint at tho tri
umphs he won in moulding nnd advancing
the civil Interests of this great land how
tvvico tho enthusiasm of a mighty and
loval peop'.o plated him In the executive
chair how tho laureled chief mado tho
tour of the world, meeting the crowned
heads of tho greatest empires with n
calm dlgnltv which pointed him to be tho
peer of all, receiving the laudations of
every land as the world's supremest cap
tain no man ever lived vvno passed over
the earth under such a succession of
honors.
GRANT MUST DIE.
rinally the tidings travel on swift wings
that Grant must die. A thrill of sorrow
and tendcrest sympathy move through tho
pulses of the civilized world It was a sor
row that could bo felt even In the busy
marts of tiade.
To escape tho heat, General Grant was
finally taken to tho cool heights of Mount
McGiegoi, ovei looking tho ancient battle
Held of Saratoga. Here he fought out
ngaln his last great battle a campaign
with death. Soldier to tho last. Few
sights are moro pathetic than this hero
sitting amid untold suffering Inditing his
memoirs that his wife may bo cared tor
when ho was gone and his creditors fairly
dealt with. Hero at Appomattox hero on
tho mount whither ho descended Into tho
valley of tho shadow.
Tell me, oh jo moaning winds; speak
for me, oh o sobbing seas; articulate for
me, oh yo melancholy stoims of Novem
berthen and not until then may I tell
you wht listen tho sorrow that sobbed
Itself out when tho nation gave Itself up
to tho funeral of the dead hero from
Tuesday morning until Saturday night It
continued, until they laid him away for
tho resurrection on that magnlcent hill
slope In Riverside Park, where, under the
silent stars tonight thero rises the Impos
ing granite mausoleum whoso privilege
and honor It -will be yours to help dedi
cate. On the second day from this, tho White
Squadron, In companionship with vessels
from foielgn navies, will sail up the Hud
son to a point opposite the tomb, when the
motJBter steel mouthpieces will salute tho
dead hero tnd the largest military page
ant slnco the war will tramp tho streets
of tho new world metropolis. It will bo a
scene of unrivalled splendor, pomp and
Improsslveness. Here, beside tho rolling
Hudson, amid the surging tides of the
sea and tho tides of humanity, a hundred
generations shall bow and at this tomb
learn again of him who
Led for his host, and pushing on his way,
Buret through opposing force, and baf
fling aU
His foes, knocked at tho rebel capltall
And with his cannon's thunder from afar,
Mado Richmond tremble with tho North
ern war!
COUNSEL OP LINCOLN.
Thero 1 a mystery attaching to this
supremo career. I cannot go with you
along tho lino of It. Wo hear again tho
counsel of Lincoln In a meeting of his
cabinet, when ho turned to the sccretaiy
of war nnd said: "Did wo not receive
a communication Bo'mo time last spring
from a man by tho namo of Grant, out nt
Springfield, III., forwarded by Governor
Yates, laying out a plan of campaign
down tho Mississippi?" Out of tho dusty
archives they pulled that communication.
The suggestions so Impressed tho presi
dent that ho snld: ".Mr. Secretary, send
an order to General Fiemont to put Grant
In command of tho district or Southeast
Missouri."
This opened the door for that masterly
series of campaigns which as thoy unfold
ed, riveted tho attention and compelled
tho ndmlrntlon of tho military critics of
tho civilized world, and meant thnt men
should read In living letters tho names of
Cairo, Paducah, Port Henry, Port Don
aldson, Nas'hvllle, .Memphis nnd Vlcks
burg. tho fall of Richmond and the sheath
ing of tho rebel sword at Appomattox.
What then, men and soldiers, are the
lessons for us as wo stnnd undct the sha
dows of tho Imposing mausoleum of tho
Iron Duke of America? This man, for
whoso making naturo threw aside her o'.d
world mold", and, as Lowell said of an
other, Choosing sweet clay from tho breast
Of the unexhausted west.
With stuff untainted, shaped a hero new,
Wise, steadfast In the strength of GoJ,
and true.
A supreme lesson taught us Is the unre
sisting spirit of push coupled with on un
remitting determination to do the thing
ho set out to do. The surges of battle
rolled against him llko the surges of tho
sea against a rock bound coast, only to
roll back again. A history of his liro
says: "It was his Idea of war to nttack
Incessantly and advance Invariably, and
thus make the operations of the enemy a
pnrt and parcel of his own " It was his
enduring tenacity In battle that gave rlno
to many of his says that havo become tho
proverbs of the age, nnd Indicate his own
groat resoloitencFs of will and unconquer
able determination.
FIGHT DESPERATELY.
"It has been my experience," said he,
"that though the Southerners fight des
perately at first, yet when wo hang on
for a day or two, we whip them awfully."
And when repulsed where ho hoped to
conquer, nnd feeling that the odds wcro
still In his favor, ho so tclegiaphed to
Washington, stating at tho same time:
"I mean to fight It out on this lino If it
takes all summer."
There Is deep suggetlvcness for us In
tho fact that Grant won omo of his most
splendid triumphs without tho sword.
Some men light like Shakcspeaiej's -soldier,
with a dagger In the mouth Grant was
called tho 'silent man," "tho American
Sphinx," "tho greit unspeakable"
Tho silent man is the safe man. Sim
dor never escapes sealed lips, and unwis
dom Is barred within tho gates No mat
ter how turbulent the spirit within tho
secretive man has conqueted and tho
world holds him great. It ma) haxo been
the fortune of some of us to have been In
the country, where we have seen hanging
a great Iron kettle suspended In the forks
of upright poles; the ilr; pushes Its great
red lingers up about the black sides, boil
ing the water within, until the water bolls
over and comes sputtering out to extin
guish tho flro that boll3 It The kettle is
without a cover. We all know men who
havo no covers to their kettles.
Tho hero of Appomattox stood by his
friends. A superb thing to be said of any
man. Though ho climbed from obscurity
to fame, ho never forgot his old-time
friends. He knew them alvvajs among
tho mass of his fellows. Hear him while
ho savs: "The friends of my adversity I
shall alwa cherish tho most." There Is
another picture too sacied for our unfpel
lng touch even at this far away day tho
homo and love-life of the hero. General
Grant loved his home; tho members of his
family were the Idols of his heart. Tho
strong warrior, after one of his greatest
victories, walked through the hallway of
a rebel home and met a little girl in tho
passageway. To tho astonishment of the
father, a devoted Southerner, Grant
stooped and gathered tho child In his urms
and smothered her with kisses, sajlng as
ho put her gently down: "Oh, she reminds
mo of my llttlo girl at home."
WHAT NAPOLEON PLANNED.
Napoleon had planned a magnificent
campaign to defeat tho Austrian army at
Marengo. May 20 saw his army on the
heights of St. Bernard. He had reduced
tho Austrian army from 120,000 to 40,000
men, despatched Desalx on tho right, and
on June 11 moved forward to consummate
his masterly plan. A few drops of rain
had fallen In the gorges of tho Alps, and
tho river Po could not be crossed In time.
Napoleon l cached the field to find his
brave generals beaten, the old guard giv
ing wny, and his will planned victory a
terrible defeat. Just as the day was lost,
Desalx, the boy general sweeping across
the Held at tho head of his cavalry, halted
on tne hilltop whero stood Napoleon.
Thero was In tho coips a drummer boy, a
gamln whom Desalx had picked up on
tho streets of Paris. Ho had followed tho
vlctoilous Eagles of Trance In tho cam
paigns of Dgjpt and Germany. As tho
column halted, Napoleon shouted to him,
"Heat a retreat!" The boy did not stir.
"Gamln! Beat a retreat!" Tho boy
stepped forard, grasped his drum sticks,
nnd said: "Sire, I don't know how. De
salx never taught mo that, but I can beat
a charge. Oh,I can beat a charge that
would make the dead fall Into line! I beat
that chargo ut tho Pyramids once, I beat
It at Mount Tabor, und I beat It again at
tho Bridge of Lodl. May I beat It here?"
Napoleon turned to Desalx and said:
"We are beaten; Avhat shall we do? Beat
then; theio Is time enough yet The
charge! The charge! Beat tho old chargo
of Lodl and tho Pjramlds." A moment
later the corps followed the sword gleam
of Desalx, und keeping step to the furloii3
roll of the boy's drum, swept down on the
host of Austria. They diovo the Hrst lino
back on tho second, and the secontl on the
third and thero they died, but tho lino
never halted, When tho smoko'cleaied
away the boy was een In the fiont of tho
line, marching light on, still beating his
fuilous eharce.
Soldiers! On jour banners aro Inscribed
to many victories to Illnch when the day Is
darkest. Look bejond tho Hag wo lovo
to that other banner on whoso blood
stained folds ou my lead: Gethsomane!
Golgotha! Olivet! Toliow the drum beat.
On with tho charge, and victory through
Christ is jours,

would heed. "At the same time," he
said "we cannot overlook the gravity
of th" offence. Some people come be
fore us who are Ignorant, who have no
education, who bisot themselves with
Intoxicating liquors, so that they are
not the nbsoluto mastcis of their own
will nnd their own actions; but you
aie a man of standing In tho commun
ity, a man of education, a man who
has been trusted by your employers,
and you havo committed a much
gruver crime than the uneducated, Il
literate man does when ho Is tomDted
suddenly to steal any object that comes
before him. But I am satisfied to
give you this one great opportunity of
your life, nnd I believe that you will
observe It "
