TATESMEN AMONG THE ORATORS Elaborate Programs Observed at Several of the City Churches. THE TRIBUTES PRONOUNCED —— eee Independence day falling on Sunday, the pastors of mest of the churches of the District celebrated the day by referring to it in their sermons. In some of the churches especially appropriate services were held, in which national legislators and other distingu'shed persons partic ipated. At the morning service of the People’s Church, Rey. Alex. Kent, pastor, held in Typographical Temple, Representative Jerry Simpson and Senator Allen of Ne- braska delivered addresses, The former declared that the people of the United States were In a worse condi- tion today than they were at the time the Declaration of Independence was signed. He hoped, however, that very soon the people wouid be in a better condition, and that the country weuld reach a prosperous era, when the flag wonld mean something. After ferring to the marvelous advance ntry has m: ince July 4, 1776, Mr. Simpson said: “With all this I will s that the pcpulation cf the United States is in worse condition today than it on the memoratle Fourth of July the Declara- tion of Independence was signed. The struggle for life is a harder one, and we have not received the full henefit of our freeiom. This country i footsteps of other natio find ourselves in the g1 The reason of this is } glected to carry out the Declaration of Independ: and equatity of opportuni Dangers Which © front Us. Senator Allen also dropped ito politics, saying, after paying a glowing tribute to following in the and we will soon rinciples of the life, liberty old glor: We must out about all the conditions and that confront us.

Commissioner of Patents Ben Butter- worth delivered the address of the even- ing, the other invited speaker, Senator Knute Nelson, being unable to be present. After referring to the great resources of the country, Commissioner Butterworth said, in part: “But why are our granaries running over, our sheep running about the mountains un. she red, nd yet there are men among & er food? There is some- With all of our wonder- ful resources, to have the country filled with idlers, plainly indicates that there is something wrong, and we will take up one or two thoughts on the subject. Let us. mber first that if the trouble is with ws, as is probably the case, then the trouble is chargeable not to the men who write laws, but to ou: responsible for giving to the men who wrote m. Whatever there the fault lies with us. The hand that rocks the cradle not only rules the world, but rules this country from the hearthstone. “It is true that there is prosperity in the country, even with the conditions of pat m that are pictured, but the troub! t prosperity is running too much in the one hand we have + and on the other the and lavish expenditure of immense sums of money. This is due to some error in our system of economies. For any law ly written, allowing such errors, we should rebuke the law-makers forcibly and udibly. The history of the world is t in a countr: accumulated capital finds expression in controlling legislation, the dissolution of the country is near. Such a condition exists in this country today, not say so and ot_know it. It to it that no behooves this people to s other motive than patriotism finds expres sion in the legislation in yonder Capitol In conclusion, Mr. Butterworth said, in referring to the immigration question, that | in welcoming ali the world to our family we make a mistake. He said that we should consider the homes here before bothering about the home abroad. Duty Is ours, the results are God's. 4 Cole nu Mesange. The Eckington Presbyterian Church held appropriate services last evening, the pas- tor, the Rev. Dr. Du: n, delivering an eloquent and patriotic sermen, his text lwing taken from Psalm xx:3, “In the ame of God we will set up our banners. The American colors, he said, bear a me we of sacrifice, the red symbolizing ‘ood shed to bring “the land of the and the home of the brave” into ex- tence; the white emphasizing purity in the nation’s character, while the blue teaches patriotism.

Teunis S. the day by pr janity and International Relations.” He regretted the failure of the American-British arbitration treaty, but found cheer in the fact that an- other Cfiurt is to be made to effect a treaty between Great Britain and the United States, and that when ratified it will stand on a broader foundation than political pressure or diplomatic manipulations. This must come through a persistent education ug moral and religious lines, he con- ed. Referring to Independence day, D lin said in th the fr Ham- “We are becoming less provineial celebration of our independence, but not less patriotic; more loyal to all that is best in America, at the same time more cosmopolit clear-sigited to our faulis @s well as our merits and to the merits cf cur fetlow-men the world aro: This ts e very spirit of Christianity which has overtcaped all boundaries of race or na- tien, and has made respect, reace and friendship not only personal, but national and international.” Independence and Destiny. The Rev. Randolph H. McKim, pastor of Epiphany Episcopal Church, preached yes- terday morning on “The Dectaration of Independence and the Destiny of the Anglo-Saxon Race.” After sketching the history of the Angio- Saxon race, Dr. McKim said: “It was the purpose of Divine Providerce in permitting cur forefathers to make good that intrepid Declaration of Independence that a great, free nation should be built upon this con- tinent, which should be composite in its racial character, combining many diverse elements, bringing together under one flag representatives of polyglot peoples, to be fused inte one masterful nation, having a distinctive American type; and second, that this American people should be graft- ed upon an Anglo-Saxon stock, builded to- gether upon the fundamental! principles of Anglo-Saxon civilization and customs and laws of government. “This ts why I venture to say that the people of this great republic of the west are chosen of God to fulfill a special mis- ston, to be the medium of blessing to many, at avy rate, oY the families of the earth— to give to millions from many lands a hign- er civilization, better and freer institu- tions, better laws, a higher morality and a purer religion. “But this purpose of the Almighty ap- is not only the American people, but that Anglo-Saxon race, of which in a very true and real sense they are a branch, that seems divinely chosen to be a blessing to all the families of the earth in these latter days. It {s the Anglo-Saxon who has taught the world the principles of free repfesentative government. It was he who first. in the modern world, broke the shackles o. irresponsible kingly powers.” A Special People. At the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church both services were appropriate to the day. In the morning the pastor, Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, preached upon “The Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people to Himself”—Deut. vil:6, say- ing: ‘‘The Declaration of Independence first claims the inalienable rigkts because ‘en- dowed by their Creator.’ Our geography is a seal to our divine election. God binds us together by the clasps of mountain granite. Our mission is to organize lib- erty.” In the evening a patriotic praise service was conducted by Mr. J. Porter Lawrence, organist and precentor, in which Mr. Wm. D. Hoover, Mrs. Shir-Cliff, Mr. Ernst and others participated. The day was appropriately celebrated by the Hamline M. E. Church Sunday school. The school room was beautifully decorated, “Old Glory” being ever present. The ex- ercises were conducted by Assistant Super- intendent E. I, Booraem. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Stricklen, presented to the school two beautiful new flags, the gift of the schol- ars, a response being made by Superinten- dent T. B. Towner. The exercises were in- terspersed with instrumental music by Messrs. W. B. Mundelle, Otis D. Swett, Charles E. Reed and Miss Ada Lipp. An ode to the flag was recited by Master Luther Nye. The “Star Spangled Banner” and “My Country” were sung by Messrs. J. Arthur Rose, J. Walter Humphrey, Kay- mond Moulton and E. W. Poston. The at- tendance was large, the committee of ar- rangements being Messrs. J. W. Davis, W. B. Morgan, T. M. Riffle, B. P. Hamlin, Mrs. F. P. Polkinhorn and Miss Annie B. Wing. An interesting Cpgistian citizenship rally was held last evefihg at the Metropolitan M. E. Church, there being a union service of the church and the Epworth League. Anjong the floral decorations was a hand- some bouquet from the White House. Mr, E. S. La Fetra, president of the Ep- worth League, presided, and Rev. Hugh Jchnston, the pastor, offered prayer. Brief speeches were made by T. H. McKee ard M. N. Johnson. Two handsome silk were presented, respectively, to the Sur school and the Epworth League of y the church by Mrs. S. D. La Fetra on behalf of the donor, rs. L. H. Camp of Ww York, Master Watson Moffatt and Miss essie Hansberger bearing the flags to the fixttorm: Short addresses were. made by Mr. Twitchell, on temperance: Mr. Sanford, 02 public schools; Mrs. Wharton, on social purity; Miss Church, on good literature, and Mr. Ford, on Sabbath observaace. Mr. La Fetra and Mr. Harvey also made brief speeches in accepting the flags for use in the church and patriotic work. Other Churches. At the Fourth Presbyterian Church, the pastor, Rev. Jos. T. Kelly, preached elo- quently upon “Liberty and Freedom as Exemplified in American History.” The pastor of the Church of the Refor- mation, the Rev. W. E. Parson, preached on the “Two Declarations vith that at Philadelphia, July 4, 1776, saying that it is doubtful if the latter would ever have been made {f the former had not been. At the Second Baptist Church the pas- tor, the Rev. E. Hez Swem, spoke on “Freedom,” saying that one born and bred in this land can hardly realize what free- dom we enjoy. At the Church of the Ascension the Rev. John H. Elliott, the pastor, delivered a sermon appropriate to the day. The Rev. H. R. Naylor, pastor of the Mc- Kendree M. E. Church, preached on the text and fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us firm. Appropriate services were held at the Y. M. C. A., the Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, pastor of the Western Presbyterian Chusch, speaking on “The Knight Errantry of the Twentieth Century. Brookli unday School. Patriotic services were held yesterday afternoon by the Calvary Union Sunday school at the Brookland town hall. The chief feature was an address by Rev. John Bowers of St. Mark's Church of this city. He spoke of American patriotism and in- dependence, and how it should be honored and appreciated. He was desirous of instilling this fact into the minds and hearts of the iittle children especially, and asked them a number of questions about their country’s liberty. The nation’s flag was discussed, as also was the true meaning of independence, and eulogized the public schools, where, from the first entrance into the primary grades to the year of graduation, patriotisin and the true love for “Old Glory” are Impressed. upon the youngster. The services closed with “America” and benediction. Before the Endeavorers. Mr. Lyman S. Emery pictured the dan- gers that confront the country in an ad- dress on that subject delivered at the Mt. Pleasant Congregational Church last even- ing. There was a large attendance. ‘The hall, under the charge of the Chris- tian Endeavor Society of Mt. Pleasant, was radiant in a profusion of the stars and stripes and floral decorations. Mr. Emery said in part: We are the strongest, most powerful nation of the world—strong in the abund- ance of our resources of wealth; strong in the intellectual character of our people; strong In the- patriotism of our American citizenship, and, should an emergency arise, we are strong in the equipment of our! navy and our citizen soldiery. But with all our strength and prosperity and power and the facilities for their de- velopment there are dangers besetting and surrounding us that threaten us as a na- tion unless we carefully guard against them. One of those dangers is the tremendous tide and. character of immigration coming to us at the rate of about 1,000 a day, too svon clothed with the privileges and pow- ers of American citizenship. Another danger is in arraying capital against labor and Mabor against capital— the peor against the rich—instead of cul- tivating a proper sentiment of mutuat in- deper.cerce. Another danger fs In resurrecting or en- gendering sectional strife and bitterness— one section of the country arrayed against another section, not upon the old lines, but upon new lines and other Issues. Yet another is in the failure to maintain the purity of the ballot everywhere and all the time. And still another danger is al- leged, and that is in the diminution of the mental and physical endurance of our race as one gencration succeeds another. There is still another danger which seems to threaten gradually the religious advancement of our nation, and that is the Ughtness with which religious obligations and the observance of the Locd's day are maintained. The Christian Endeavor So- clety can do much and are doing much to- ward averting some of these dangers, per- haps all of them, as it is composed so much of the young people of the land and reach so many rot connected with the churches. —_—-—___ Sues Husband for Support. Kate D. Ourdan has filed a petition in the Equity Court, praying that her hus- band, Vincent L. Ourdan, said to be a $1,500 Navy Department clerk, be required to maintain and support her.

Heroic Action of Figst Minnesota Regiment at Gettysburg. A Monument Ereéted@ to Commemorate It—Discussed by Gommandef Mc- Elroy—Vetesans as Visitors. Gov. David M. Clough of Minnesota, with his staff°and the survivors of the battle- scarred 1st Minnesota Regiment, have their headquarters at the Ebbitt House, having arrived ia che city Saturday morning. The governor and his party came east to at- tend the unveiling of the handsome monu- ment erected at Gettysburg recently to the meniory of the gallant Ist Minnesota Regiment, whose famous charge at Gettys- burg rivals that of Pickett’s. The unveiling of the monument took place Friday, at which speeches were made by Gov. Clough, ex-Commissiuner of Pensions Lochren, Senator Davis, Representative Mertin McGinnis of Montana and repre- sentatives in Corgress from Minnesota. The monument is a tall shaft of granite, surmounted by a life-size figure of a sol- dier running at the double quick. This is to. commemorate the regiment's charge on the enemy, in which all but 42 out of 264 were killed or wourded. Colonel McElroy’s Tribute. Col. John McElroy, editor of the National Tribune,-knows much about the history of the whole war of the rebellion, and knows it well. He was in the army of the Poto- mac, and knows all of its evolutions like a book. Very naturally, the survivors of the ist Minnesota now in-the city called upon him, and the Gettysburg monument, dedi- cated on the thirty-fourth anniversary of the day in which the tlower of the young manhood of Minnesota went down before the hot blast of war, brought to mind the awful scenes of that blood-emblazoned July I believe,” said the colonel, “that the men of the Ist Minnesota, as actual aciors in feats of arms, have few equals, and cer- tainly no superiors, in the history of war, since men first began fighting in organtzed armies. The whole world thrills with ad- miration at the gallantry of the Light Brigade at Balaclava, when “*Stormed at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode, and well, Into the jaws of death, Into the mouth of hell.” “But, as Marshal McMahon grimly ob- served on that occasion, ‘c'est magnifique, mais ce’ n'pas la guerre.’ “While we admire the magnificent spirit of the noble six hundred, the charge was foolhardy, except in the display of the dead gameness of the British soldiers to-go anywhere ordered, regardless of carnage and certain death. On the other hand, while the action of the Ist Minnesota was surely as magnificent in dash and daring as the charge of the Light Brigade, it was ‘war’ in the highest sense of the word, and Marshal McMahon would have recog- nized it as such, too. Hancock's Dilemma. “During that tumult:ous afternoon of the 2d of July at Gettysburg, when the whole left of the Army of the Potomac was a seething furnace of battle, in which regi- ments and brigades melted away like paper iu the flames, Hanéock found the left of the 2d Corps fearfully menaced by a erful column of assault whica Lon: was forming to sweep everything before him. It was a moment of mortal peril to that portion of the army. Hancock, with the eye of @ true Commander, saw-the peril, and s: also, that it wos vitally imper- ative to gain five miautes in Which to make dispcsition of his torgex to meet the im- pending storm. He turned to the regiment nearest him and ordered it to assault the head of the rebel column. He expected to sacrifice the regwuent, and the few mo- ments he hoped to gain were worth a dozen regiments to tne Union cause. “The meu understood perfectly well the exigency, and the mortally desperate na- ture of it, and that it was intended to sac- rifice them, but they were soldiers, and that was what they) were there for, to die at the moment that dying would benefit the cause; and it is to the infinite glory of the Ist Minnesota that when its colonel gave the order every man picked up his musket and rushed forward afier the cclor bearer. Effect of Daring. “They dashed against the head of the rebel column with such impetuosity that, as Hancock had calculated, it threw the | whole column into confusion and delayed the assault for several precious momenis. A frightful conflict ensued at the point of contact, and when the gallant regiment was finally beaten off it left 222 killed and wounded out of the 264 who aad obeyed Gen. Hancock’s orders. But they brought back with them their own colors, and ciso the colors of the rebel regiment which had run up against thelr muskets. “When the roll was called after the fight every man in the regiment was acccounted for. Those who were not killed or wound- ed or otherwise deployed were in their places with their colors. The light brigade in its mad charge lost 36 per cent of killed ard wounded, of which 16 per cent were actually killed. The Ist Minnesota lost over 80 per cent of its number. Further- more, the charge of the Light Brigade was the only serious engagement it had ever been in. The Ist Minnesota, on the other hand, had been fighting from First Bull Run, where it lost heavily, in every en- gagement of the Army of the Potomac up to Gettysburg, and it continued to take part in all other engagements till its time of service expired. “We are so overshadowed in our ideas of military prowess by the trumpetings in English, French and German literature of the achievements of their soldiers that we are upt to overlook the fact that constant- ly in cur own great war plain American boys performed acts of heroism which stand on a level with the most vaunted acts of the world's greatest champions of the art of war, and oftentimes throws them clear in the shade. Colonel's Desperate Wounds. “Colonel Colville of the 1st Minnesota, who is with his boys on this memorable trip, was himself wounded desperately a number of times, and is now aged and in- firm, but it is worth a year of a man’s life to see the devotion of the survivors to their old commander.

To my mind there has been nothing like it in history, for, unlike all the other good charges that are recorded, the Ist Minnesota not only charged, but it achieved.

Leading officials of all the railroads cen- tering in Washington agree that the num- ber of residents of this city who have left for various pleasure resorts during the last three days has been greater than dur- ing any corresponding period for years past. On the Pennsylvania, Southern, Chesa- peake and Ohio and Atlantic Coast Line, the rush tegen Thursday, at which time hundreds of persons went to Atlantic City via the Pennsylvania and to mountain re- sorts in Virginia and North Carolina by the other three named. Friday, which is usually a dull day, was also a great day for travelers, but Saturday, in the lan- guage of a veteran official, was a “terror.” Over 500 tickets were sold to Atlantic City alone, while scores of other ;ersons went to various places alorg the Jersey coast, and some as far as the White mountains. The principal tide of travel for those leaving the street depot yesterday was in the direction of southern poinis, and hundreds of people went to Leesburg and intermed!- ate points to spend the day. The Baltimore and Ohio began to re- ceive its share of the business Saturday when ft carried several thousand to ba Ridge and a goodly number to Atld City. Yesterday the leading obj point was again Bay Ridge, more than persons going there from Washington alone. Up to noon today trains carrying 2.80 persons destined for Bay Ridge had been sent cut by District Passenger Agent S. B. Hege, and other specials which are to leave during the afternoon will, it is ex- pected, carry nearly 1,000 more. Special cars, which were attached to the regular train west, carried a large number of colored people to Harper's Ferry. The Washing‘on, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway Company has also during the last three days acccmmodated large numbers of excursion parties. —- +-— Exenrsion to Niagara Falls via Pittsburg.
