On the broad avenue General Merriam reviewed the column, after which the vet- | | erans boarded cars, while and Minnesota regiments marched to Cen- tral avenue, meeting the Grand Army posts there and escorting them to the cemetery. The California and Washing- ton regiments and the cavalry proceeded to the Presidio, where they performed es- cort duty for the procession to the Na- tional Cemetery. e THE NATIONA'.

The exercises of Memorial day at the national cemetery in the grounds of the | Presidio were held under the auspices of George H.

The various posts and organi- zations taking part assembled at 10:30 on Central avenue, at the entrance to the Presidio, and after forming in line moved at 11 o'clock In the following order: Grand marshal, J.

With the War of the Rebellion, how- efficient the world had ever seen sea battle, and which had accom- plished most heroic results, went, under the law of 1868, to Rotten Row, and it was sald that having setltled our internal af- fairs we would not again need another ship of war or another soldier. But we remember that for a second and a third and a fourth time in the history of our nation we have been summoned to war without preparation. “At the time the war with Spain was contemplated there was not enough pow- r, the navy that we had built up, the | der in_this country to fire a general sa- | lute. only a nucleus. “To-day on the tented field you see the We had the nucleus for an army— | result of a nation of seventy-five millions | of people who are undertaking to grow great by the arts of peace. done. “The Universal Peace Society may have | its day in the millennium when the lion and the lamb shall lle down together, be- cause the ] of man. of man. amb will be inside of the lion.

Hundreds Attend an Impres- sive Service at the Graves of the Dead Heroes.

After the last column passed the ceme- tery, the veterans, led by a corps of musicians, filed in_ through the cemetery gates and took positions around the mem- orial monument erected in the upper end of the burial plat. The memorial exercises at the grave consisted of a_well arranged programme of patriotic addresses and the rendition of national hymns. The oration was de- livered by Rev. M. S. Levy. e CALIFORNIA’S TRIBUTE TO THE NATION'S DEAD | School Children Strew Flowers Over the Graves of Departed Warriors. SAN JOSE, May 80.—Memorial ser- vices for the soldier dead were cele- brated here to-day with unusual inter- est. This was due to the war now in progress, ism to a high pitch. The boys of the Maine were not forgotten, and a minia- ture battleship named after the ill- fated vessel, which had been set up in Oak Hill Cemetery, was covered with flowers in honor of the men who first gave their lives for Cuba libre. Barly this morning a squad from Phil Sheridan Post and Woman'’s Relief Corps went to Santa Clara to decorate the soldiers’ graves there. Delegations . Dix and Sheridan Posts and their auxiliary societies, aided by numerous school children, saw that the graves of veterans in Oak Hill Ceme- tery were covered with flowers. This afternoon there was a street pa- rade. It was headed by Company B, N. G. C., followed by the G. A. R. so- cleties, eivic societies and city and county offi 1s. The city schools were represented in the parade by about 500 GENERAL MERRIAM REVIEWS THE VETERANS AND THEI \ i 0% WS LY R - T ESCORTS. i | i VOLUNTEER ast their splendid organization will con- tinue to liv 1til the last veteran of the war of '98 answer the final sum- mons.

The streets along which the column was to pass early | became congested wich people assembled | from far different motives than idle sight- | seeing The throngs were not kept long in wait- ing, for at 10 o'clock Grand Marshal Col- onel Matthew Schlaudecker and his aids, escorted by a battalion of police, swung into Market street from New Montgom- ery and moved out that thoroughfare to Golden Gate avenue, thence to Van Ness. Following marched the four commands of volunteer infantry: First Colorado, Thirteenth Minnesota, Sixth California and First Washington, and four troops of the Fourth United States Cavalry. Act- ing as escort to the naval detachment, In- dependent Rifles, San Francisco Turners and Garibaldi Guard, rode Troop A cav- alry, N. G. C., whose members are down- cast because they have not been called upon yet for active service. The Boys’ Brigade, the League of the Cross Cadets and the public school children—the latter, misses as well as well as boys. marching like trained sol- dlers—preceded the Veteran Guard and Department Commander Solomon Cahen nm{) staff. Behind them marched the members of Lincoln, Garfield, Colonel d service = At the entrance to the cemetery the troops opened ranks, allowing the Grand Army posts and other veterans to pass through. After the usual exercises according to the G. A. R. ritual were held at the George H. Thomas Post monument the following programme was carried out upon the platform to the north: Overture, Third_ United States _ Artillery prayer, Rev.- F. B. Cherington; hymn, “Rest,’ Peacefully Rest,” Knickerbocke uartet; Lincoln's Gettysburg address, delivered by Selden Sturges; anthem, Third United States Artillery band; ora- tion, W. H. L. Barnes. introduced by Commander J. Murray Bailey, who spoke a few eloquent words appropriate to the day: “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” Knfckerbocker quartet; ta “Star- spangled Banner,” Third United States Artillery band. The address of General Barnes was brief, eloquent, patriotic and entertain- ing, and was a little out of the usual lines followed on such occasions. He ad- vanced some new ideas that were both timely and appropriate, and was listened to with marked attention. He spoke sub- stantially as follows: “Soldiers of Memory and Soldiers of Hope: 1 greet you here to-day full of the recollections of the past; thrilled with the expectations of the future! The old sol- dier of the republic has had his memory marvelously quickened in the last thirty days by the call for troops. His mind at once went back to the call of Abraham Lincoln after the first gun had been fired at Fort Sumter, and he had in recollec- tion the flower and life of the nation uring forth from mountainside and val- ey, from the workshop and the counter— men of inexperience, but full of resolu- tion. The great majority of that army knew nothing except the arts of peace. Many of them were commanded by offi- cers chosen for the moment, who knew no more of the art of war than they did when they left their mother’s breast. “The North rought against the South, and both were unprepared for war.

As the veterans shouldered the muskets, which like themselves belonged to an earlier generation, but like —themselves | were decorated with the honor and high- | est testimonials of national pride, it was not with the wonted steadiness that char- they first marched out to pay the tribute of respect and honor to their dead comrades. The little graveyard, within a grave e- ing larger and larger, and many a living hero of 6l who dropped his token of recollection and honor last year upon the grave of some beloved silent comrade has since joined him in an eternal bond of union in the world to come. The Grand Old Army is gradually becoming a mem- ory, and in a_few years more death will have mustered the remaining recruits into the silent citadel of the tomb. Side by side with the veterans, with caps doffed and heads bent were the sol- diers of to-day, paying their respects to those who served the nation before them and whose example they will strive to imitate in maintaining_and perpetuating the existence of the Stars and Stripes. any of the volunteers from the camp opposite the cemetery wandered over to the graveyard to witness the ceremony in honor of those who fell in battle defend- ing the same banner which they intend to protect in the near future. Many of the boys remained in the silent precincts of the little enclosure long after the cere- mony was over, remaining there to read the sacred inscriptions and no doubt to ponder on the future and the destiny of those whom he has joined and with whom he will shortly sail on a mission fraught with uncertainty and danger. The soldiers, after being reviewed and dismissed at Golden Gate avenue, rode to the entrance of the Odd Fellows’ Cem- etery, where they again formed in pro- cession to await the arrival of the lflgno- children, and they presented an impos- } ing and pretty spectacle. About 150 young ladies from the Normal School were another feature in line. This even- ing literary and musical exercises were held at thé Auditorium. Dr. Eli Mc- Clish delivered an_oration. GILROY, May 30.—The citizens of Gilroy observed Memorial day by as- | sembling in a mass meeting at Music Hall last evening. Rev. R. N. Davis presided. The congregation joined in singing “All Hail” and “America.” The oration was delivered by Rev. J. Bine, “the boy preacher from the sunny South.” Rev. W. D. Crabb read a pas- sage from the Scriptures, Rev. Thomas Edwards led in prayer and Rev. R. N. Davis pronounced the benediction. Pro- fessor ‘R. C. Storey made a few re- marks. To-day the school children and vet- erans and many citizens assembled at the schoolyard and with baskets of flowers marched to the cemeteries and decorated the graves of the fallen sol- diers. Professor R. C. Storey deliv- ered an eloquent address and there was patriotic singing by the entire audi- ence. SACRAMENTO, May 30.—To-day memorial observances were rendered partimalerly significant because of the recer ' departure of local troops for the seac ot che present war. At no prev- fous time in the history of Sacramento was there such a general suspension of business. The streets were thronged, thousands of flags arose and fell in a gentle southern breeze and at the City Cemetery, where the services were held, there was not a foot of space that was not deluged with floral offerings. The orator. of the day was G. W. Ar- buckley who delivered an eloquent trib- ute to the memory of the dead. Preceding the ceremony came the pa- rade under the auspices of the Grand which has aroused patriot- | Army of the Republic. It was headed by the police, attired in full uniform and carrying bouquets. Then followed the grand marshal and his aids; the Second Infantry Band and a company of militia, the Mexican War veterans and the several posts of the Grand Army of the Republic, Woman’s Re- lief Corps and Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic; the Sacramento Institute Band and Uniformed Rank of Knights of Pythias.
