G. A. R OX MEMORIAL DAY
By J. Howard Wert.
With trembling steps and thinning
ranks,
Their dark hairs flecked with gray,
The men who won a nation's thanks
March each Memorial Day.
To keep alive the memories still
Of valiant men and brave.
Whose lofty deeds our bosoms thrill
From the dark and lonely grave.
Each year more bowed the stiffened
forms,
And slower is the gait
Of those who faced stern war's rea
storms
And courted battle's fate.
No youthful buoyancy is there
As surges on life's flows;
Serenely, they life's duties bear.
And wait the final blow.
When disembodied souls shall rise
To greet those gone before;
And Two Grand Armies in the skies
Be joined to part no more.

BUSINESS STOPS
AS FLAG GOES BY
Many Activities Mark Day in
Lower End of County;
Simple Services
Memorial Day was observed In many
ways in the lower end of the county
to-day. In practically all of the
lower end towns business activities
were suspended so far as possible and
the general public spent the day in
seeking: whatever form of recreation
best suited the individual■ taste.
From early morning there was a
procession from the towns to the river
and to the various parks nearby,
Steelton people in large numbers spent
the day at Reservoir, Paxtang and the
cross-river parks. At Middletown
there was a big parade. Municipal
Park was crowded with family pic
nics and pleasure seekers who wanted
to see what the borough's new recre
ation place was like. At Highspire
the principal event was the baseball
game with New Cumberland, and
there was a big crowd on hand when
the umpire shouted "play ball." Base
ball games also "drew large crowds at
Steelton and Middletown.
Practically the entire plant of the
Pennsylvania Steel company at Steel
ton was closed, allowing the men a
holiday. Only a small portion of the
office force was on the job and enough
men to keep the various furnaces in
operation.
Of course the feature event of the
day was the simple yet impressive ser
vices in honor of the veterans of '6l
and '65 who have responded to their
last "Taps."
The few remaining grizzled old vet
erans of Sergeant Lascomb Post, No.
351, Grand Army of the Republic, as
sembled at 8.30 o'clock this morning
at the post rooms, in North Front
street, attired in their neat uniforms of
blue. A short time later they left Ir.
a large motor van for Highspire whero
a simple memorial service was held
over the graves of veteran*. From
Highspire the truck load of veterans
went to Oberlin where services were
held at 10.30 in the cemetery there.
Then the silvery-haired "boys" re
turned to their homes.
Up the Hill
Again at 1.30 o'clock they assem
bled at the post rooms and at 2 o'clock
proceeded with steady step up the
steep hill to the Baldwin cemetery.
Here the most impressive services of
the day were held.
The services opened with a selec
tion by the Steelton Band and a prayer
by the Rev. C. B. Segelkin, pastor of
Centenary United Brethren Church.
Another selection by the band and
the "General Orders" and Lincoln's
"Gettysburg Address" were read by
the Post adjutant.
Frank B. Wickersham, assistant dis
trict attorney of Dauphin county, then
delivered the oration of the day. He
paid a glowing tribute to the few re
maining bent and gray veterans, who
answered their country's call during
the stirring days from '6l to '65, and
eulogized the men over whose graves
flowers were about to be strewn. At
the conclusion of his speech a num
ber of little girls clad in white scat
tered flowers over the graves The
band played "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." There was a short pause and
the benediction was pronounced by
the Rev. J. M. Waggoner, of the Main
Street Church of God. The Spanish
War Veterans then filed away from
the crowd and facing the west fired
a salute to the Dead. There was a
short pause until the echoes of the
firing died away. A moment later
Bugler William Lewis stepped out in
front of the ranks. As he raised his
bugle to his lips there was a move
ment and heads were uncovered.
Then the sweet, stirring strains of
Taps rang out—and another Memo
rial day was done.
Steelton Pair Elope
to South Bethlehem
The cupid and telegram combination
again worked in Steelton, when to-day
Mrs. Mary Matchet, 119 Walnut street,
got a message which said: "We were
married and will be home Sunday"
The "we" was Miss Ida M. Matchet
and Arthur Wrignt, son of Ephraim

Friendship Company Tells
Its Side of Controversy
Members of the Friendship Fire
Company committee appointed to
draw up a letter to the public ex
plaining the company's side of tho
controversy between the Friendship
company and the Firemen's Union
met last night and drafted a letter.
In this letter the members of the
Friendship committee claims that
politics is back of the turndown given
the Friendship company and that men
now In control of the union affairs in
preparing for the big time in October,
having lost their position through the
introduction of the commission form
of government in Harrisburg are using
means to antagonize the Friendship
company because its membership in
cludes men who are factors in tho
present government.
The letter also calls attention to
the fact that the committee gave the
printing contract to outsiders when a
local bidder offered SI,OOO to the
union for the contract. It Is stated
that the Friendship being the oldest
company In Harrisburg is entitled to
first place in line and that a gross in
justice has been done by the action
of the union.
