The third annual banquet of the Asso- elated Press was held last night in the main banquet hall at Kingsle The walls of the chamber were tastefully dec- orated with Persian tapestries. The tables were arranged In the form of an open square, with a central extension from the president's seat down the vupen space. Flowers in profusion beautified the tables, and imitations in smilax of telegraph wires made the circuit of the board, sus- bended from floral imitations of poles, Whos bases rested on the tables. Ou the ringing of an immense dinner bell, the one hundred guests feil into line in the reception room and, headed by Pres- ident Victor F. Lawson and Joseph Medill, marched into the banquet hall. With an apprepriate address of welcome President Lawson requested the suests to fall to. President Lawson then put the loving cup on {ts passage, with a statement of kis pleasure in meeting the representa- tive newspaper men of the couniry. As sponsor for the cup Pres! tailed Melvil and the precious was sent on its round among the g . AS each one tasted the nectar from the cup, Mr. Stone announced his name, and the ment of each well-known name ed with applause. While the banqueters were absorbing the material portion of the feast, Valiri’s Mandolin Orchestra and the’ Imperial Quartet kept the air of the hall melodious with vocal and instrumental music. The memory of Mrs. Nicholson of the New Orleans Picayune and Col. John A. Cockerill was drank standing. After the coffee and other equally invig- orating things, President Victor F. Lawson turned and introduced the toastmaster, M. P. Handy, whose acceptance of the gavel ‘vas met by a jocular motion for adjourn- ment from General Manager Stone, but the toastmaster refused to entertain the motion, Advance Into New England. Charles Emory Smith of the Philadelphia Press was then introduced, and made a very clever speech. “I came here last year for the first time, and I went away with a great deal of in- spiration. I came with joy tais year, be- cause I knew I should get new and fresh inspiration. I have had it. You have all had it, in the glorious meeting today, and we have all felt a special sense of grati- fication in welcoming to our ranks and promoting to the position of director of this association the accomplished repre- sentative of the Boston Journal. (Ap- plause.) “Each meeting brings its peculiar dis- tinction. Last year had one. This year's distinction is the advance, the triumphant advance, of the Associated Press into the heart of New England, and, indeed, the capture of one of the strongest points in the citadel of the United States, in that section of the country. (Applause.) “We were all glad to see that our friend recently came back to his own in the Bos- ton Journal, and we rejoice the more that he has so promptly followed that step by demonstrating the wisdom he aiways pos- sessed, attesting again that wisdom in the step which, we believe, will prove as ad- vantageous to his newspaper as it will be paventsaeous to the Associated Press itself. zentlemen, I congratulate you upon this good work which you are carrying for- ward, and I congratulate you upon the brilliant success of this organization, which is moving forward toward its complete triumph, and in which we all, I am sure, have a more profound faith, and to which we have a greater loyalty tonight than we have ever had before.” (Applause.) Sol Smith Russell entertained the guests for twenty minutes by relating a number of characteristic stories. Mr. H. G. Esterbrook of Omaha spoke briefly, giving an amusing account of his attempts to break into journalism, as a substitute, on the Omaha Bee, he finally going into law and his first case being a $20,000 libel suit against that paper. The Boston Journal’s Course. Stephen O'Meara of the Boston Journal was the last speaker. He said, after a careful study on his part, and on the part of his managing editor, he had made up his mind that the organization of the pres- ent and the organization of the future was that which he had had the pleasure of meeting today. (Applause.) He claimed not the slightest credit for what he had done. He had changed his news service on his business judgment, as a trustee and re- sponsible for a very valuable property. An avalanche was not to be expected from New England, but he believed the Associated Press would gradually absorb all the papers in the country which were worth having. (Applause.) ‘The enjoyment was brought to a close at midnight by all singing “Auld Lang Syne.” Tho” inclement weather has caused a jostponement of the lawn party arranged Ry the ladies of St. Mark's P.

The church was packed to the door with churchmen aud others of the various denominations. The music of the service was well rendered, and a solo by Mrs. M. W.

Downman preached an eloquent sermon from the text, fourth chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Philippians, and = eighth verse.

Lemon, who has been lying dangerously fll at his apartments in the Shoreham, was slightly improved today. He passed a_ restless night, but was more quiet this morning, and when Dr. Sowers made his midday call Capt. Lemon recognized and talked with him @ little. Capt. Lemon ts suffer- ing from cerebral anaemia, due to the weak action of fis heart. His disease Is due to an attack of the grip, which he experienced seven years ago, and which left his heart in a badly affected state. A year ago he became rheumatic and seneral debility of the system resulted. He returned from California a short time ago apparently in better health than he had been for some months, but appeared to feel that his improvement would be only temporary. Thursday night of last week he was taken ill and has since been in a serious condition. — Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—W. L. Pierce and J. P. O'Neill, Pittsburg, Pa.; W. B. Andrews, J. C. Nel- wood, L. D.

SERMON FOR VETERANS Department Commander McElroy today issued a general order in relation to the observance of Memorial day—Saturday, May 30—by the Department of the Poto- mac, Grend Army of the Republic. The order reads as follows: “The most impressive rite of ancient Israel was the festival of the Passover. This colored and shaped the life of the chosen people and united them in bonds which the lapse of scores of centuries has not been able to weaken. It was the an- nual commemoration of the deliverance by the hand of God from imminent deadly peril of extinction of race and religion. At every anniversary of that deliverance each Hebrew father gathered his family about him, all girt and shod fer a journey, and carrying staffs. The eldest son asked his father the meaning of this ceremony, and the father told the story of Israel's dire extremity and of the providential res- cue, from which dated their national life and great: ess. With a branch of hyssop they spritkled the dcor posts with the blood of the slain lamb, that the Angel of Death might see and pass by, and par- took of a hasty meal of unleavened bread and bitter herbs. aniMemorial day is the Passover of the American people. It is the commemoration of the new Hirth of freedom which came to us efter four years of the bloody travail of war, It is an annual reminder that to make this ration what it is today, to give us the innumerable blessings this highly favored land enjoys, more than half a mil- lon ycung men,the flower of cur first born, willingly laid down th They di that the nation might live, and their pry cious blood was a rich cons tion of the fon they redeemed to the highest and oliest aspirations of exalted humanit “As Passover typified to the Jew dces Memorial day to the Americans 3) bolize the highest possible human self-sac- rifice and devotion for the national g00d, combining with signal favor of God to make that effort supremely effective. Like the Jews, we shoutd strive by rites, nies and ‘public show to make the ervance of the day as deeply impres- > as possible upon the rising generation that their thought may be shaped and molled in a way that will influence their whole future lives, and through them transmit to future generations the most exalted spirit of patriotism, which will be the strongest guaranty of the perpetu tion of our nation and its glorious institu- tions. This 1s the reason for Memorial da in addition to the loving affection we bear the memory of our fallen comrades, is why we should unite, with our families and Kinsmen, to make the public celebra- ticn of the day Impressive in the highest degree. “The Rey. Arthur the Church of Our Father, corner of 13th and L strects northwest,’ will deliver a emorial sermon on Memorial Sunday, the th instant, at 31 o'clock a.m. As it is desired that the attendance upon on be as large as possible, ft is 2il comrades who possibly will_assemble in front of the chur: 10:45 a.m., on that day, wearing the G Army badge conspicuously displayed on the left bre “The foliowing named comrades are here- onstituted a committee on transporia- on and quarters: A. S. Taber, 8. Faunce, L. P. Williams, John Johnson, H. M. Gillman, Newton Ferree and John Hawley. “Post commanders will forward at once the names of such of the comrades of their posts as have died since December 31, 18! “The following additional appotntmen aids-de-camp on tho staff of the de; ment commander are hereby annour R. W. Montgomery, Charles F. Noske, F. H. Wagner, Wm. A. Mann, C. H. Daven- port, Benj. T. Rhodes, W. H. Partridge, H. G. Potter, P. O. Lawrence and J. H. Strickland. The comrades thus eppointed will report for duty without delay to Com- rade James B, ter, chief of staff.” The executive committee on memorial services has tssued a notice inviting at- tention to the growing tendency to make Memorial day an occasion of frivolity and amusement, and requesting co-operation and aid to arrest this tendency and to se- cure such an observance of the day as will make it whet it was intended to be, a day sacred to the memory of the noble dead. a ADVOCATED SECESSION. Rogers, pastor of hoped th at Ex-Representative Belford Cheered by Silver Advocates. From the New York Herald, today. DENVER, Col, May 20—The doc- trine of secession was advocated in Denver last night as beldly and defiantly as it was upheld in the south during the dark days of 1861. No one :n the south ever checred revolutionary sentiments more loudly than those who attended the mecting of the Young Men's Silver Club and applauded the speech of former Representative Belford when he advocated the secession of the states west of the Mississippl river if sil- ver were not placed on an equality with gold. “If silver is not placed on an equality with gold,” he declared, “the time may come when the west will secede from the United States and the states west of the Mississippt riyer will set up a republic of their own. “The time has come when the west pro- poses to havo something to say about the affairs of the government. There is danger now that a division may come in this gov- ernment, and the Mississippi river may be- come the eastern boundary line of the new western republic.” ————-+e+. B. and O.
