From these several sources remnants accumulate very rapidly, and we cannot push them aside or pile them up.

Hopkins In- vites the Co-Operation of Citizens. ORD THE PLANS DETAIL a See The Department of the Potomac, G. A. R., has completed about all its arrange- ments for the observance of Memorial day, and Department Commander Thos. S. Hop- kins has issued general orders 4 and 5, de- tailing the arrangements so far made. Will Observe Monday. As the 30th of May occurs this year on Sunday, the Grand Army of the Republic of this department will observe Monday, the 3Ist, as Memorial day, and all citizens, whether veterans or not, are cordially in- vited to participate in the solemn services of that day. “The annua! decoration of the graves of our comrades,” says Commander Hop- kins, “is not a meaningless ceremony. It is something more than a mere desire to call to memory the names and forms of thcse with whom we were associated dur- ing the days of the war, and who have passed over and encamped on the heavenly shore. We hold these solemn services, and we lay flowers upon the graves of our com- rades, not only as a tribute to their mem- ory, but in the earnest hope that thereby we may teach the generations bern since the war, and through them the generations yet_unborn, a lesson of patriotism. “The veterans have all passed the half- century mark, and even the youngest and strongest of the survivors show the eff. of the grea: hardships which they went. Each year their numbers de each year their steps are more feeble. is estimated that thirty tnousand will an- swer to the last roll call during the year Isui. “It is evident, therefore, that the day is not far distant when the veteran will be no more, and that, unless others take up this work where he. perforce, shall lay it down, the observance of Memorial day must soon cease, which God forbid! “It is to his fellow-citizens that the vet- eran must look for the perpetuation and the true observance of this sacre “The department commander therefore appeals to the mer and women of this trict to join hands with the of the Republic in the exoression of its affection for these gallant men who, in hospital, on the field of battle, and in prison pen, gave up thelr young lives for God and country. “If our fellow-citizens love the flag; they love their country; they a ar ful to the dead and the living who saved flag and country, let them visit on that day the cities of our dead, and unite with na tribute to our failen comrades. “May they there ‘highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain,’ and may they there dedicate themselves to the work ef kecping alive the appropriate observance of Memorial day after the last survivors of the Grand Army of the Re- public shall nave been mustered out, and of teaching loyalty and patriotism to their children and their children’s children.” General Orders No. 5. For the information of the depar:ment the following orders No. 5, have been is- sued by the department commander: This department will observe Mon- May 31, Memorial day, and will make {ts annual parade on that date. ‘The line will be formed on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue, right resting on 15th street; will march in sections of eight eac':, and must be prepared to move at 10 o'clock a.m. sharp. Post commanders will report with their respective posts at department headquarters at 9:30 a.m. “II. Comrades should parade in uniform or dark clothing, with white gloves, and wear the G. A. R. badge on the left breast. Membe.s of other departments are r- dially invited to participate in the parade and other ceremonies incident to the oc- casion. The march will rot be more than one mile in length, and it is hoped that comrades will turn out in full force and thus give substantial evidence of their re- gard for those with whom, in camp and field, they formed the ties of comradexhtp. “III. Comrade J. S. Burger ed officer of the da: nd post ers and others in charge of organizations will report to him for assignment to posi- lon. Lieut. Michael Mahany is designated officer of the guard and assigned to duty at Arlington. “IV. Contributions of flowers from the various schools and the public generally e solicited, and will be highly appr ed. Comrade B. F. Chase, chairman of the committee on decorations and grounds, will be on duty at department headquarters, 1412 Pennsylvania avenue, on the 29th, 30in and 31st instants. to receive such contrib- utions, or they will be called for at any indicated address. “V. There will be appropriate religious services at the Metropolitan Methodist Church, corner € and 4%, streets, on Sun- day, May 30, at $ p.m. mrades and their familics, the Woman's Relief Cor kindred organizations, Sons of Ve! and all others interested in the obj these associations, are earnestly invit attend. It is recommended that memo’ services be held in all other places ship in this city, which should be made preparatory, as far as possible, to those which follow on the succeeding day, all who revere the memory ct our d comrades should be present. “VI. In accordance with the provisions of general orders No. 6 from national hea quarters of the Grand Army ef he Repu lic, it is desired thut all comrades and others beving charge of memcrial services in this department shall read, as a part of the services, so much of said order as re- cites a portion of President Lincoln's ad- dress at Gettysburg. General orders No. 4 from thcse headquarters should also be promulgated on such occasions. Additional Aids. “VIII. The following additional aids are appointed: George A. Darling, Post No. 1; Cc. C.
