BOYS OFWIIY J
TRIBUTE TO DEAD
[Continued from First Page,]
recorded act of unofficial attention and
respect.
And it needed no reveille to start
the day for them. Most were up and
about at sunup; and early this morn
ing headquarters of the three posts
presented a scene, that, save for the
informality might have gone back ro
enlistment days in the sixties. Yet the
old warriors still kept up, if less
tensely, the military order, system and
dispatch that they had learned when
the observance of such things meant
life or death, a battle lost or won.
Exercises in Cemeteries
This morning the posts conducted
exercises in the various cemeteries as
announced. Post 58 going to Paxtang,
Post 116 to East Harrisburg and Post
520 to Lincoln Cemetery. Simple ex
ercises and brief patriotic services
marked the observance. The veterans
then returned, many to their homes
for a needed rest: for at 1 o'clock they
were due again on "the firing line" to
take their places in the march, to
stand again in the cemeteries and once
more to carry flowers down the green
carpeted aisles to the spots where
their comrades lie.
At noon came the one-minute for
memory, a precious period to many.
The city generally joined in this, and
after 12 there was a hush as though
the garments of twilight were trailing
over the city. A hush like that which
came after the cradle-song long ago
when the veterans crept up to their
mother's knees, in the days only a
little before they were brown faced
lads and thought that war was a fine
thing, with drums and gold lace and
fierce charges against an enemy that
always yielded.
Memories
But to-day, pausing for that one
minute's memory they know better.
For the memories of comrades now
dead are mingled with shrieks and
roaring guns and gutted homes, bloody
earth, strewed with bowels and bones,
long vigils, shivering, fevers, fear
brave conquest of fear —marches,
aching feet—yes, yes, poor old Jim,
he was always troubled with corns.
Above all, to close the minute of
memory, old glory appears waving out
of the mists.
Dinner time. No; it's mess to-day.
Hie Blue Lines Form
Then to headquarters. Again to
greet the laughing comrades. The
three posts marched down at 1 o'clock
and took their position in line. With
them the N. G. P. and the veterans
of a younger generation from the I
Spanish war, the Sons of Veterans!
and the City Grays. At 2 o'clock the
parade moved down Second to Mar
ket, out Market to South Fourth, over
the Mulberry street bridge to Thir
teenth and thence to the cemetery.
Joseph L. Leonard was the chief
marshal and B. J. Campbell was chief
of staff. The assistant marshals of
the parade were W. It. Miller. John M.
Mahor, A. J. Pugh, Robert Dougherty,
William H. Hertz, G. L. Sellers, David
Stevens, William Dixon, J. A. Simp
son, Paul Harm and George F. Lumb.
At Thirteenth street Post 58' left
the main division of the parade and
marched to Lincoln Cemetery where
tribute was paid to the colored soldier
dead.
Cemetery Services
Arrived in the cemetery the assem
bly was sounded by Miss Irene Wag
ner, following which a dirge was
played by the band. Prayer was of
fered by the Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swal
low. Philip S. Moyer, attorney, deliv
ered the oration of the day. After
the oration came the procession to the
burial plots. William Huggins, chap
lain of Post 58, offered prayer. Wil
liam T. Bishop, of Post 116. delivered
an address. Noah A. Walmer read
General Logan's orders. William H.
Moore delivered Lincoln's address. Me
morial readings by A. J. Pugh, George
L. Sellers and George W. Rhoads pre
ceded the saluting of the dead by
guards of Post No. 58 and Camp 15,
Sons of Veterans. Following bene
diction by the Rev. Dr. Swallow
came,—
Taps.
Then the flowers were strewed on
the graves.
Thousands of peonies from the city
nursery were among the floral trib
utes.
Philip S. Moyer said In part:
"Forty and more years ago General
John A. Logan, then commander-in
chief of the Grand Army of the RVjpulj
lic, issued orders to the members of the
Grand Army to observe the 30th day of
May as a 'Decoration Day.' now gener
ally observed as "Memorial Day.' The
order was in these words: 'For the pur
pose of strewing with flowers or other
wise decorating the graves of camrades
who died in defense of their country
during the late Rebellion, and whose
bodies now lie in almost every city, vil
lage or hamlet church yard in the land.'
To the fllaet to th«* Gray
"Memorial Day, my friends, though
always filled with rare and tender sen
timents, can not mean the same to all
of us. Its meaning Is quite a relative
one. To you members of the Grand
Army this day comes with different Im
port than It does to me. To the heroes
of the Blue It brings certain precious,
kindred thoughts and memories, to
those heroes of the Gray others, to the
galant veterans of later and recent
struggles still others, and to the gen
eration of to-day which has risen since
that time of civil strife it brings still
I other, and far different, thoughts and
meanings.

great Kebellion: and thoughts of it.

tones it falls upon your ear. and you
recall a weary march or the wild grand
music of war. You hear a few shots
fired in the distance, and now you are
in the whirlwind of the charge or the
trenches of forts. Only chance thoughts
are these, called up by mere accident.
But. surely, once a year on this day, for
an hour or two, you live over again in
memory the struggles, the hardships,
the triumphs of those days. You re
count. in reverent mood, those high
deeds and dVop a heartfelt tear In grati
tude for what such courage wrought.
You greet vour comrades living, and
pay tribute to those who are dead.
Marks «>C Many a Field
"We the sons and grandsons of the
sires of the sixties, are here not only
to pay homage to the dead, but, as well,
to you, their comrades, who are still
with us. Heaven has smiled in favor
upon vou and graciously lengthened
vour lives many years since those bit
ter days. You bear the marks of many
a hard-fought field—of Bull Bun,
Chattanooga, Vicksburg, Gettysburg
and Appomattox. You were spared to
know that your work had not been in
vain. You have lived to see the nation
free from sectionalism and slavery, to
see her rise from all the want and
weight of war, to see her take her
place in the forefront of the nations of
the world, and reach her highest state
of peace and prosperity. We rejoice in
vour presence, to-day. as a remnant of
the grand old army of the Union. We
rejoice, too. that there are already vet
erans of our later struggles of that
Spanish-American War that came up
like a gale from the South, raged like a
hurricane, was soon over, and left the
nation richer in territory and stronger
in position in the councils of the world;
and veterans of the insurrections in the
Philippines and In China, where men
braved much, not alone of warfare, but
of that more deadly enemy, disease and
pestilence, and distinguished themselves
■so courageously and so boldly. All
honor to those valiant heroes, who, at
a moment's call, gave their services to
the cause of the nation, to the cause of
humanity.
A Few Yen in More
"A few years more, and only a few
tottering figures will represent the files
of the Grand Army. They have pitched
their tents in the twilight zone and
banked their fires for the long, long
night. Each year an army of forty and
more thousands march to their last
bivouac. The members of the Grand
Army who now take the active part in
arranging for each Memorial Day cele
bration will soon be gone; and the fu
ture of this day remains with the Sons
of Veterans, and other patriotic orders
and associations, but more particularly
with the Sons of Veterans. In their
veins course some of the same heroic
blood that distinguished our armies on
many of the great battlefields. They
have caught the true spirit of loyalty
and valor by the firesides in the homes
of our heroes. Much do we owe to them
to-day for the great reverence accorded
to our Memorial Day celebrations. And
much shall we look to them in the fu
ture. Whether this day shall degener
ate from a holy day into a holiday will
depend largely upon them.
"In ancient times there was a game
I in which men ran with lighted candles,
and the point in the game was not see
which runner ran the fastest, but which
runner ran the fastest without putting
out the light. It Is as true of the
I courses of nations as It was of the run
ners of old. I look to the history of the
nations, ancient and modern, that stand
in the line to-day. I look to China. 1
see the great dragon in the shadow of
the Idols holding in its teeth the lighted i
fagot of heathenism —remaining in j
those shadows for five thousand years. ,
I look to Persia. I see a Moslem asleep ;
before the shrines of Islam holding in .
his hands the flickering torch of bigotry j ;
and infidelity asleep before those j j
shrines for three thousand years. I look j
to the great nations of Europe. In eacn | i
1 see the aristocracy and privileged i
class blended together, holding aloft I :
the beacon of prejudice, and custom, '
and privilege—holding it there for cen- !
turles while all about them humanity i
is crying for Light. Then 1 turn my <
face across the waters to America, and ,
I see Columbia holding high the Light !
of Liberty—the light born at James- I
town and Plymouth. I see her in the !
clouds at Gettysburg, and bearing an
olive branch between the contending
foes at Appomattox. I see her bring
ing changed conditions in Cuba, a new
light in the far-off Philipnines, and a
healing touch to the troubled Orient. If
the beacons of the nations of Europe
have withstood the centuries, if the
torch of Persia has flickered during all
the great epochs, if the fagot of China
has burned for five thousand years, I
shall not doubt that Columbia, with the
Light of Liberty in her hand, will have
power to meei all the conditions and
demands of the future throughout all
the ages of time.
" "Sail on, O ship of State.
Sail on, O Union, strong and great.

Are all with thee—are all with
thee.' "
