In accordance with the order of Depart- ment Commander Dinsmore the veterans of the Grand Army last evening attended divine serv- ices at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, corner 11th and H streets. A large delegation from the ‘Woman's Relief Corps accompanied the old soldiers, and when the line filed into the church and was seated it was found necessary to place chairs in the aisle to accommodate all who crowded into the church. Music was fur- nished by the choir of the church aud was ap- propriate to the occasion. CHAPLAIN GOTTWALD'S ADDRESS. ‘The chaplain of the department, Rev. Mr. Gottwald. presided and delivered an address, which was filled with the sentiment suggested | by the oceasion. He spoke of the associations formed during the war and how they had been Kept alive in the organization that had been formed. He alluded to the noble work done by Women in the war time and paid tribute to the memory of those who had pased away. Upon the nelusion of his remarks he introduced Rev. Dr. Domer, the pastor of the church, who had been asked to deliver the annual sermon. REY. DR. DOMER'S SERMON. Dr. Domer based his discourse upon the words found in Luke xiii:I4. He spoke of the sol- dier, his life, his heroism and his patriotiam. The highest trpe of patrioticm, he said, is tanght in the Bible, and the better a Christian man is the better soldier he proves to be. Ho enforced the lesson of the harmony between the highest type of Christian character and the spirit that should animate the soldier. He spoke of the bravery and self-sacrifice of those wao had given their lives to their country. REV. 3. B. PAINE’S ADDRESS. Rey. 8. B.

THE UNION VETERAN UNION. ‘They Listen to an Eloquent Sermon by Their Department Commander. Gen. Green Clay Smith, pastor of the Metro- Politan Baptist Church on Capitol Hill, preached a Memorial day sermon yesterday morning, at which all who participated in the late war were especially invited. The church was crowded long before the hour set for the services, the feature of which was the presence of many members of the Union Veteran Union, who visited the church in a body. Probably for the first time in the history of the country of the defenders met in the rotunda of the Capitol on Sanday morning and marched toa place of worship. The church was decorated with flags and flowers, the flag of the Union Veteran Union Deing used as a centerpiece. Among those who attended the services were many members of Congres, and the pastor, who once occupied a seat in the House of Representatives, said many things for the benefit of those who had formerly Deen his colleagues. He spoke particularly upon the question of buying and eelling votes, which he said was infinitely worse for the country than slavery when it existed. MONEY IN THE CAMPAIGN. During the approaching campaign he said that fully 24,000,000 would be collected for “printing.” He added that a large amount of it would be paid for printing. but a much larger amount would be spent for “blocks of five.” ‘The mouey, he said, would go to the voters in sums from the price of drink of whisky to an amount large to secure a home for the voter. ¥, he said, would have been abolished without war, but it might have been several centuries to come. The people of the south lly opposed to slavery, r seemed to be God's way to end it, and now it was a glorious thing to pay tnbute to the loved ones who lost their lives in defense of tabernacle, the ensign of God's presence, should ever be in sight.” Later in the history of nations the banner ac- aired other uses and particular significance rom the parties, the orders, the houses or gov- Sahar oo ae bead has ite wus in our day every aa _ ‘There io no civilized mation without ite nner. We are apt to look back only to "76 as the dom. But thatis not true. The civilization of the nineteenth century started from the Nile 5,000 years ago. ‘The American republic had ita birth amid the waters of the Deed sea, when God's chosen people, coming from oppression and bondage. were led by the divine symbol of a clond by day and a pillar of fire by night out | of bondage into libert; Seventy-six was but the day of illumination and manifestation of principles and truths that were as old as the race of man—the princi- ple of liberty and equal rights of all men. When we look upon a nation’s flag we see not the flag, but the nation itself; and whatever may be its symbol, its insignia, we read chiefly in the flag the government, the principles, the truth and the history that ‘belongs to the nation it representa. WHAT THE BANNER SYMBOLIZES. Our theme, then, is the banner and what it symbolizes. There isa mystical symbolism in the combination of the colors of which it is made. See from whose hands it has come. The Rutledges, the Pinkneys, the Jays, the Frank- lins, the Hamiltons, the Jeffersons, the Adamses all worked at the loom, and our ‘flag, with all its beauty of stripe and color is the work of the giants to symbolize the birth of liberty and the everlastingness of the principle of freedom. When they wanted a color that would show the vitality of the nation, they took the symbol of life and wove in a red stripe, for it is the blood that giveth life. When they wanted somethi that would show forth the glory and virtue o} our women, they sought it not amid the low plains of earth, but from the mountain tops, crowned with perpetual snow, above the air that taints and the dust that soils, they took the white and wove it in by the side ‘of the blood stripe as the symbol of our women’s purity and glory. Then for the field. Our went not to the earth after the green of the fields, for this withers and fades; not to the an- imal, for lion and unicorn, for these die and perish away; not to the clouds, for these are for aday, but they went above ‘the clouds and brought the deep blue of the sky and wove it into the flag as a symbol of the unchangeable- ness of our lives and institutions, Thirteen states stood together in a federation, and they searched the day and found no symbol of their union: but when the darkness of night came on and the everlasting stars that sang to- gether in the morning of creation came out they took theeternal starsand wove them into the field of bine and flung it to the breeze—“God’s flag” for there is nothing of earth in its colors. ‘The making of the flag was but the reutterance of the text in symbolical language: “Thou hast given a flag to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth.” If you ask me the meaning of our flag I say it means just what Concord and Lexington meant—what Bunker Hill meant, It means the whole glorious revolutionary war, It means all that the Declaration of Inde- pendence meant. It means all that our Con- stitution of our people, organizing for justice, for liberty and for happiness, meant. It means the establishment of the most momentous doc- trine that the world has ever known—the right of men to own themselves and their liberties Our flag carries American ideas, American history and American feeling. Beginning with the colonies and coming down to our time, in its glorious folds it has gathered and stored the heritage of the past. Among the richest of all its legacies is the supreme idea, ‘the divine right of liberty on man.” Every color means liberty; every thread means liberty; every form of star or stripe of light means liberty—not lawlessness not license, but organized, constitu- tional liberty; liberty through law’ and law through liberty. In the infancy of the republic the American flag was the safeguard of liberty. Not an atom of crown was allowed to go into the insignia, Not « symbol of authority in the ruler was per- mitted to go into it. It was an ordinance of liberty, by the people, for the people. That it meant, that it means, and by the blessing of God that it shall mean to the end of time. THE MEANING OF THE FLAG. Today the flag means all this to us and much more, for its folds have been colored anew with the blood of our fathers and sons. It is fitting that we should pause in the hurried march of life im this eacrol place for'a moment ere we cross the threshold of another memorial day, and consider what the banner means to us. First of all it means the triumph of truth over error; of liberty over despotism. Previous to 1861 there were two elements en- tagonistic to each other at work in this country. In one and the same year, 1620, English ships landed Puritans in New England and negro slaves in Virginia. Thus two systems started to ther country. grow up together—Puritan liberty and Roman 2 hteousness exelteth a nation,” was the | servitude.

Ignatius Glance, who shot himself in the head Saturday morning after attempting to kill his wife, as described in Saturday's Sran, died shortly after 7 o'clock Saturday night, not hav- ing recovered consciousness. His wife, Au- gusta, is convalescing and will, in all proba- bility, fully recover. The deceased was not of the Jewish faith, but was of the Catholic per- suasion and attended church regularly. He had been married three times, Augusta being his third wife. When his second wife died he had two children, his first wife's, and in order to provide for the children he took unto himself the third wife. The children soon becape dissatisfied, and in order to keep in family the father took them to Erxmany. Some five years later he returned here, bringing one child, Tessie, and opened the cigar store 1245 7th street. Seven months ‘ago, when he was getting along nicely, the wife appeared, and then the husband's trouble again dean, resulting Saturday in the tragic death of himself and the wounding of his wife. Coronor Patterson viewed the body of the deceased and gave a certificate of death, deem- an inquest unnecessary. fe child is being cared for by Mr. Otten- berg, who resides next door to where the tragedy was enacted. eee AMUSEMENTS.

Fully 3,000 people yesterday afternoon viewed the May procession held by Trinity Sun- day school in honor of the blessed Virgin Mary. Promptly at 5:30 o'clock the procession, headed by Mr. James A. Archer, left the Sunday school wherein it was formed and moved slowly down Natreet. Following the leader came the color bearer, the superintendent and his assistants, ‘Then came twenty-five little boys, with the band immediately behind; several hundred prettily garlanded girls; Miss Mamie Hart, the r-clect, with ‘her attendants; the heart bearer, Miss Alice Brannan; the queen, Miss Janie Ulmer, and her attendants, Misses Mamie Keliher’ and and buried it deep beneath the trees of Appo- mattox and the shadows of Atlanta by the sea. Four years before and the grand old flag had been torn from the wails of Sumpter and tram- pled in the dust by men who were called mas- that its face when next seen from that fort would be illuminated for all time, and in its folds would be lifted up four millions of en- slaved people into civilization, while the name of master would be known no more in this land forever. Secondly, the flag means to us that the brave men who gave their lives for the nation shall not be forgotten. Every year we call a halt and with muffled drums and martial tread we visit the city of the dead, where 500,000 of the brave, who died for the Union and liberty, sleep beneath the green vod of the valleys and’ on the ‘woody hillsides of our land, while over them the shining stars and the angels keep silent and ceaseless watch. ‘There amidst the solemnities of the dead, with the memory of the past o'er us, we lay our floral tribute upon the mounds of fi and comrades who went out but came not back. Every year the custom is becoming more sol- mn and more sacred, for the graves are mul- tiplying and the ranks of the veterans are les- sening. ‘Today and through the past we have heard the sound of moving men. ry north and south, they are marching, marching, not with guns and cannon, but with flowers, crosses of flowers, wreaths of flowers, crowns os flowers, pyramids of flowers, whose perfume fills the air, and the point of contact is the loaed grave’ overlooking the Hudson, where sleeps the great chieftain. And tomorrow, north and south, east and west, will cover the tomb of our Grant with sweetest flowers, a monument more imperis than marble be- cause it is built of the hearts of the people.
