Parades.
Now York, May 30. Memorial day
was probably never celebrated with
more enthusiasm than this year in
New York city. The day was an
Ideal one for a celebration. The sun
shone br.ghtly and a light breeze kept
the heat from becoml.tK oppressive.
Early In the day thousands of excur
sionists were thronging the streets of
Manhattan Island hurrying for ferry
boats to Loin? Island and New Jersey
ami some hound for the shore, some
for the farms and some for the ceme
teries, where now, In addition to the
dead of the Civil war, lay the dead of
the war with Spain. The graves of
these received the same care that for
yeais has marked those of the older
dead.
In he city there were several pro
eessiens In honor of the day, but the
most important were the military par
ade In New York city proper, reviewed
by Major General Miles, and the mili
tary parade In Brooklyn, reviewed by
Governor Roosevelt. The New York
parade, consisting of every National
Guard regiment In the city, three com
panies of regular engineers, eight bat
teries of regular artillery and forty
two Grand Army posts started at 9
o'clock and marched In excellent form
ation from Fifty-seventh street down
Fifth avenue to Washington arch,
where it was dihlmnded. The National
Guardsmen were under the apminuud
of Major General Hoe: the sailors un

WHEELER AT BOSTON.
The Ex-Officer of the Confederacy
Speaks Before the Veterans.
Boston, May JO. For tho ilrst time
an ex-officer of the Confederacy today
delivered the Memorial Day address be
fore a New England Grand Army post.
General Joseph Wheeler, the cavalry
lender who led the boys in gray at tho
famous chaise at Shiloh and nearly
thirty-seven years later, beneath the
stars and stripes cheered on the vol
unteers at Santiago, was the orator and
guest of honor at the Memorial Day
services of E. W. Kinsley post 113,
Grand Armv of the Republic, nt the
Boston theater. The Immense auditor
ium wai idled to its utmost capacity.
General Wheeler opened his speech
with an eloquent tribute to the part
plajed by Massachusetts In the history
ot the American coininonwealth.wiioso
soldiers bail plnved conspicuous parts
in all its wai.i and whose statesmen
hod over been famous in the balls of
congreti. lie nllml.u to the prophecy
n! General Iloiaec Isintu-y Dargent.vUio
thirty years ago. on Memorial Day in
the city of Ronton, predicted the day
would coiiif when this anniversary
would be celebrated "after some cViy of
glory when I he -.ons of rebels and our
sons shall havu fallen side by side In
some common cause of foreign war, as
our siren und their sires tell side by
side under the eye of the great rebel,
the Virginian, 'Washington."
"Already." said General Whoclcr."the
words of this piopheey have be n ful
filled for tho wririlura who fell side by
side nt La llimsimus, S.m Juan and
Kl Caney, men from the Norlh and
South, among them nme of your bravo
boys from the Second Massachusetts,
were burled together In th gre.it na
tional cemetery at Arlington, while a
brave federal otllcer who took part in
the great struggle of oui civil war and
now the chief oxeciuho of the nation,
by bis presence, conferred honor upon
their funeral obloquies."
Continuing General Wheeler said:
"The enjoyment of peace Is n, blessed
boon to Immunity, but the history of
tl. world from Its earliest period
tci ones that the only security for
peace Is to be always prepared and
ready "to engage in war. That nation
whose people are ready to respond to
n call to arms with men and resources
for any emergency, Ik the one that
shall most certainly bo ablo to avoid
the desolation and hotrors of war. So
long ns 1ho dominant spirit which con
trols any country Is one ot honor, chiv
alry, glory and patriotism so long will
that notion continue to nchlevo power
and greatness. Tho spirit ol true no
bility taught by Ameileun mothers
ha? made our country the pride and
fear of the world."
Declaring that It was the duty of
every American to uphold the president
and his cabinet when It has become
thoroughly committed to a defined pol
icy, General Wheeler said;
"Patriotic devotion can bo exercised
by volunteering to serve In the field,
but it may also be most profitably ex
erted In encouraging conlldence among
our people nt home. "Certainly no good
and only evil can come fmm words and
acta which tell rival nations 'that even
a portion of our people, however few,
are not In full sympathy with our gov
ernment, or what Is worse, that any
Americans actually do sympathize with
our country's enemies. Such a course
cannot fall to weaken confidence and
embarrass the executive power. Those
who insist that the power of the
United States Is so great that It must
always triumph will udiult that diffi
culties or obstacles created by some of
our own people will have the effect of
retnrdlng, nt least in some degree, the
prompt and happy restoration to per
fect und lasting peace.
"I am one of those who firmly be
lieve that whatever Is. Is right, and I
cannot doubt but when conditions nre
thrust upon a country by n course of
events following u well judged and
llghteous action on the part of the
people and the government, the con
sequence could not be other than bene
ficial not only to tho people of our own
country, but to the world at large.
"There Is one sentiment which should
bo Impressed on every mind und In
stilled Into every heart:
"My country, may she always be
light, but right or wrong, my coun
try." DAY AT LOUISVILLE.
Henry Watterson Made a Patriotic
Address on a Reunited Country.
Louisville, Ky., May CO. Although
the day was gloomy and disagreeable,
rain threatened, the graves of the
Union soldiers in the cemeteries of
Louisville and New Albany. Ind., were
decked with flowets today. At the
graves there were services, followed by
an oration by Hon. Henry Watterson,
Mr. Waterson spoke in substance as
follows:
Mr. Watterson's Address.
The duty which draws us together, and
the day although appointed by law
come to us ladened by a deeper meaning
than they have ever borno belore; unit
the place which witnesses our coming
invests the occasion with increased sol
emnity and significance. Within the pre
cincts of this dread but beautiful city,
consecrated hi all our hearts and all our
homes for lure lie oar loved ones two
plots of ground, with but a hillock be
tween, have been set aside to mark the
resting place ot the dead ot two armies
that In life were called hostile, the Army
of tho 1'nlon, the Army of the Confed
eracy. We come to decorate the graves
of those who died fighting (or the Union.
Presently others shall come to decorate
tho graves of those who died fighting for
the Confederacy. Yet, if these flower
covered mounds could open and the brave
men who Inhabit them could Use, nut
as disembodied spirits, but in the flesh
und blood whlrh they bore when they
went hence, they would rejoice as we
do that tho hopes of both havo been at
last fulfilled, and that the Confederacy,
swallowed up by the Union, lives again
in American manhood and brotherhood,
such as were contemplated by the makers
of the republic.
To those ot us who were the comrades
and contemporaries of the dead that are
buried hero, who survived the oidcal of
battle and who live to bless the day,
there Is nothing either sdrungo or unnut
uitil in this, because we have seen It
coming for a long time; wo havo seen it
coming in the kinship of ties even as
close as those of a common country; m
the robust intercourse; of the forum and
the market place; In the sacred inter
changes of the domestic affections; but
above all In the prattle of the children
who cannot distinguish between tins
grandfather who wore the blue and the
grandfather who wore the gray.
Strife of Sections a Dead Issue.
It is required of no man which ever
flag he served under that he make any
l enunciation shameful to himself, and
therefore dishonoring to those grandchil
dren, and each may safely leave to his
tory the cutting of the h.ilanco Dt:
twein antagonistic schools of thought
and opposing rumps In action, wheie the
cssi ntluls of fidelity and courage wire
so amply met. Nor is it the part of wis
dom to regiet a tale that Is told. The
Issues that evoked tho strife of sections
aro dead issues. The conflict, which was
thought to be Irreconcilable, and was cer
tainly Inevitable, ended wore than thl-.y
years ago. U was tought to Its bloody
conclusion by fearless and honest ni"ii.
To sunn; tiio limit was logical to othcrj
It was- disappointing to all It was final.
As no man disputes it, let no man de
plete It. Let us rather believe that it
was needful to make us a nation. Lot us
rather look upon it us into a mirror, tee
ing not the desolation of tlu past, but
Urn radiance of the future; anil in the
heroes of the New North and the New
South who contested In gencroup rivalry
up tho lire-swept iitceps of Kl Caney and
side by side re-einblazoned the national
character In the waters about Corrogldor
Island and under the walls of Cavite.
let us behold hostages for the old north
and the old south blent together hi n
Union that knows neither point ot tho
compass and has flung Its geogiaphy Into
the sea.
Greater Issues Before Us.
(Jrcul as were the Issues that we havo
put l hind iih forever, yet gioater Issues
still rise dimly upon tho view.
Who i hull fathom them? Who shall
telecast them? 1 seek not to lift tho
veils of what may llo beyond. It Is
enough for me to know that I havo a
country and that my country leads tho
world. 1 havo lived to look upon Its dis
membered fiagments wholo again; to
see It like tho fabled bird of wondrous
plumage upon the Arabian desert, slow
ly shape Itself above tho plains and ashen
of a conflagration that threatened to
devour It; I havo wutched It grudiiiilly
unfotd Its tracks of light und tshudc; I
havo stood uwe-jtruck In wonder and
fear lest tho glorious fubrlc should fudo
Into dnrkuess and prove tho Insubstan
tial pageant ot a vision; when, lo, out of
the misty depths cf the far away Pacific
came tho 'booming ,f Dewey's guns,
ciulckly followed by tho nnswerlng voice
ot the guns of Sampson and Shatter and
Schley, anil I said: "It Is not a dream.
It 1 God's promise redeemed." With tho
night ot HOcUiiial confusion that Is gone,
civil strlto bus passed from tho scene,
nnd, In the light of the perfect day that
Is come, the nation finds, as the first
fruit of Its new birth of freo dom, an
other birth of greatness and power and
renown.
Fully realizing the responsibilities of
thin, and the duties that belong lo It, I,
for one, accept it, and all that It biingi
with It and Implies, thunkful that I, too,
am an American. Whercsecvc r Its star
may lend, I shall follew; nothing loathe,
or doubting; though It guide tho nation s
footsteps to tho lurthtimost ends of tin
earth. Behoving that in the creation
and preservation of tho American Union
the hand of the Almighty has appeared
from Ilrst to last that Ills will begat it,
and that His word has prevailed; that
In the War of the Revolution and In tin
Civil War tho Incidents and accidents of
batllo no doubt wtro Providence Inclined;
If tho Star that now shines over us, at
onco a signet of God's plan and pur
pose and a heaven sent courier of civili
zation and religion shall fix Itself above
tho steppes of Asia and the namls of
Africa, It shall but confirm me In my
faith that "thvs judgments of the Lord aro
true and righteous altogether."

Attracting Much Attention

Bouts, because ho struck them, are at

little boy boasts that he helped his sis
ter steady the rillc with which his
