Impressive Memorial Services Under the Auspices of the National Rifles. ‘Very nearly every seat in the National Thea- | ter was occupied last night on the occasion of the memorial services of the National Rifles to do Lonor to the members whose names are now borne on the roils of the organization as having | been mustered out of earth and life. It was a | sad event and appropriately managed. The | thenter was tastily draped with flags tied with | knots of erepe and the banters of the organi- | zation. On the stage were ferns and palms and slight touches of mourning to signify the | character of the services. As the crowds surged into the building they were aided and directed in finding places for themselves by a large corps of ushers under the direction of Private E. P. Harrington, the chairman of the committee of arrangements, whose skillful and untiring efforts were the elements that went to make the occasion a memorcble one. ‘he | boxes were filled with distinguished people, mong whom were many of the most prominent officers of the National Guard and citizens of high standing in the community. _In the right {lower box were Commissioners lass and Koss and First Controller Matthews. Next to | them were Mavroyeni Bey, the Turkish minis- ter; Postmaster Sherwood and Controller Lacey. Upstairs were Col. and Mrs. M.M. Par- ker, Kepresentatives O'Neil! and Van Schaick. In the other boxes were Col. and Mrs. J. 0. P. Burnside, Col. Wm. G. Moore, Col. C. C. Clay, Col. A. 'T. Britton, Maj. Brackett and other men of prominence both in and out of military circles. The orchestra was occupied by the Marine Band, with Prof. Sousa wielding the baton, and the music sent forth was of a beautifully touching character that apoke well for the selections and the renditions. Two vocal numbers were ren- dered by a quartet com; of Mesers. MeFar- land, Simons, Whipple and Lapham. The first was’ Dow's “Consolation,” and the other, | Steele's “Lead, Kindly Light,” both being su: in a style that evoked applause even from suc a solemn assemblage. A STRIKING FEATURE. Astriking feature of the vast throng that filled the house from pit to dome was the pres- ence of two solid lines of militarymen seated on the edge of the parquet, the Old Guard on the leftand the National Feneibles, formerly the National Rifles Cadets, on the right. References were made to them during the evening by the various speakers. Promptly at 7:30 o'clock, the hour set for be- ginning the exercises, the stage became filled with a blaze of scarlet, as the members of the National Riftes, attired in fuil uniform, filed on with short steps and took their places before the four rows of chairs that made semi-circles around the stands in the center. Following them came Capt. Oyster, Gen. S. 8. Burdette, ex-commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and Dr. Milburn, chaplain of the House of Representatives, on ‘the arm of Pri vate Harrington. A tap on the draped table from Capt. Oyster’s gavel was the signal for the men to seat themselves and the exercises were begun with two selections by the band, a pre- Inde, ““Go, Let Me Weep,” by Stevenson, and a raphrase of ‘Jerusalem, the Golden,” by Ricilins. ‘Then Chaplain Milburn invoked the Divine blessing on the ceremonies and the as semblage in language suitable to such an oc- casion, referring touchingly to the recent deaths of Porter and Sherman. The prayer concluded, Capt. Oyster called on the secretary of the organization to read the roll of the dead. He read from a black book the followin names: A. T. D. Stone, died 1882; Brainard T. ph . 1896: Frank J. Burkhart, 1888; Wm. E. Chaftield, 1889; Robert E. Moore, 1889: John A. Evans, 1890, and Jos. P. H. Blois, 1890. GEN. BURDETTE’S ORATION. Gen. Burdette then delivered the oration of the evening, which he began by referring to the oceasion as thoroughly unique in form and purpose. The audience, he said, were the guests of a band of citizen soldiers gathered to flonor their dead comrades, whove sunset was at cloudless evening. whose requiem not Iquart of $1 Jamaica rum for 75e. 1 quart of Catawba, Cuaxtes Kuaruen, 737 7th st. now.

E. C. Dutton of the ordnance department, army, on money fallacies. Maj. Dutton kept his audience interested in his subject during his entire lecture and was often interrupted by bursts of applause. According to tie lecturer only so muck money should be put in circulation as was actually demanded in is of trade and exchange. He held the chan: that government stamps did not make money aud that no more money was needed at present. ‘This was the age when for money we have notes and cheeks, "said the the prom- In concluding the isted plenty of money and that wages were higher now than twenty Years ago.

He then spoke of the relation of the volunteer military organizations to the rest of the country, and of the trustful- ness which the people have in their safety with bands of armed men within their midst. He drew a happy picture of the difference between the system in which men volunteer their serv- ices to their country and that under which men are forced to do duty with the musket. A country where the former prevails is safe for all time, while under the latter there is constant danger. There have been instances where the presence of armed men iz the community has caused trouble, but in each of these cases these armed bands had ir: their ranks few mer. who first saw the light under the folds of the American flag. The American soldier is first of all and above all an American citizen. There is no reproach on him who comes to his coun- try's service at the eleventh hour. speaker traced lightly the course of the tional Rifles, paying special attention to its carcer during the war as one of the first bodies of volunteers to offer its services under the call of April. "61, and he mentioned the names of some of thore who won honor in the strife with e uniform of this organization on their shoulders. Fully 35 per cent of the members had received commissions in the volunteer service. Such organizations, he remarked, were the leaven in the’ mass of un- taught patriotism that swarmed to the defense of the country in the hour of need. Referring to the deaths of Sherman and Porter, he said: “Another march to the sea has been accomplished, but this time it ix an illimit- able shore that has been reached and a ghostly squadron and an angelic commander that | awaits the arrival of the soldier. ‘There, too, is that grand commander, who only yesterday | breathed his last amid the lamentations of a | whole nation. A wish goes up that Sherman could be laid with Porter and Sheridan in the nation’s Arlington, where Grant might with propriety have been laid and where yet, it is hoped, his ashes will rest. ‘fhe nation will soor.er or Inter claim its own and the states and cities that now guard with reverent care the bones of their cherished heroes will relingui them to the eareful guardianship of the nation. Private Burton T. Dovie then recited a bea | titul ori nal poem, with death, immortali mradeship as a theme. The sweet ins of the “Inflammatus,” from Rossim's tabat Mater,” as interpreted by Mr. Walter F. Smith with ‘his cornet. accompanied by the | band, swelled out and added to the feeling of sympathy that seemed to surge through the House. MR. F. B. HAYS EULOGY. ‘The eulogy to the memory of the dead was | delivered by Comrade E. B. Hay, who held his audieuce in perfect attention throughout the half hour that he took in delivering his words of grief and regret. In the roll call, he said, | silence only answers to the names of cight dear comrades, the echo of the old familiar names only makes reply. The company was not there to bury these men, but to praise them and to | bring back their memories, some fading, some | bright with sharp regret. “The custom of pay- ing tribute to the dead is an index of civiliza- tion. Words live when monuments decay and good deeds survive both. The speaker then Fan gently over the records made by the eigut men who have stacked their guns and taken the | position of eternal rest, and as he told of the | events surrounding the departure of each to a happier camping ground the eyes of the audi- ence filled and the atmosphere before the stage | became dotted here and with the white of handkerchiefs. ‘The close of his eulogy was greeted with a soft applause that spoke of an appreciation of the sacred character of the ceremonies and yet of the excellence of the tribute that had been paid. ‘The band then played in an ex: that grand hymn, ~‘Nearer, My and this was followed by the singi national anthem, “America,” quartet, the company and the audience joined, and after that the great throng went sadly out into the rain, while the pathetic strains of the bugle cali of taps rang up into the arches of juisite manner the theater and was followed by the extinguish | ment of the lights. ni cachet ene he had a stone in his pocket.

Policeman Williams of the fourth precinct subsequently took charge of the prisoner and today he was before Judge Miller on a charge of deadly assault.

There is first and second mate on the boat and an old musket, probably a relic of the revolutionary war, bas been carried on the craft to be used in case of an attack by pirates or to kill any wild duck that might come within range of the schooner. The “Francis Miller” was anchored at Bris- coe's wharf yesterday when Charles Jackson, a colored man about forty yearsold, went abvard to see his two stepsons, who were matds on the schooner. to get a job of unloading, and when he returned Amon aoe the “Francis Miller.” “Hell eel en ical fev greeted ol ni Se I had a pistol I'd blow your —— “Shoot, you retorted Jackson. “It all goes ina lifetime.’ ‘Amos took the old man at his word, and be- fore Capt. Grayson or any one else could inter- fere he jumped down in the cabin and retarned with the musket. One pull of the trigger and Jackson tumbled to the wharf, as the report of the weapon sounded like the firing of a heavy gun at the arsenal. ‘Amos had been told before hand that the musket was loaded, but he paid no attention to the captain's ‘warning, and when his friend as though dead he seemed surprised. ‘The musket had a heavy load of duck thot in it and had not been fired for many weeks. The injured man was picked up and cared for until the arrival of the police ambulance, when he was taken to Providence Hospital.
