In nearly every church some reference w; made to the day and its | nce, and in a great many the | ervice was dedicated to the na- tion’s dead. The members of the Grand Army were present by invitation at several of the services, and the spirit | of the day brought more than usual | through the church doors. ‘ The day has an added significance | this year. There are new mounds be- | side the old ones; the sexton is busy with pick and spade, for there are more mounds to raise, and the war in the Philippines is adding to his labors day by day. Time has made the day one of solemnity and sorrow, but the sting of | grief has been dulled and the flowers strewn upon the grave spoke more of obsery entire s honored memory than of mourning. | But now it is different. The reape harvest has been rich of late; there are others beside those of 61 seeking a | place in the country’s mourning, and there are those who pass by the graves they have decorated so long for pa- | triotism to seek out a new-made mound and weep over it by themselves In view of these altered conditions the day will be mor nportant and | more extensively observed than it has | been. Custom has made it more of a holida; r the living than a time of | mourning for the dead and a lesson of ism for those who enjoy what | ed with their blood. Be- | . California has slept so long in peace that it is hard for her to wake the realities of war; but with one sons at the front and two more only just out of the nation’s rvice, the meaning of Memorial day {s brought home more forcibly than in | vears gone by, and the people are look- ing upon it more in the light of what | it is than what they have been pleased | to make it. Heretofore its celebration has been left to the Grand Army and | ; it wijl be the | same this year, but they have the heart | and interest of the great mass of the | public with them—something, perhaps, they have not been used to. the civie celebration will to regiment of he AT THE/EIRST : CONGREGATIONAL orge H.

Queen Elizabeth herself was a party to the traffic in slaves—In fact she was personally interested | in the business. Even good ol Governor John | Winthrop of Maseachusetts willed a number | | of Indians to his heirs, and a church mem- ber of Boston owned the ship that made the most successful voyage to bring slaves to this | country.

Why did Stonewall Jackson fall—shot, unfortunately, by his own men at Chancellorsville, and cause Lee to ex- | ¢ “Oh, for a Jackson.” It was the work of God. But it was the | blood of the thousands of Northern and South- ern men slain in that war that cemented the | union, You never dreamed that “‘Fighting Joe” Wheeler would get off his sick bed in the hos- | pital and compel them to carry him forward to the front to fight under the stars and stripes. You never dreamed that Fitzhugh Lee would grit his-teeth and struggle through all he had to contend with a little over a year agq in Havana for the flag he once fought against. We thank God that there {s no«donger a North or a Bouth; that the curse of slavery that once threatened our national existence has been wiped out and that we are once more brothers and citizens of God's chosen land. AT HOWARD STREET METHODIST CHURCH At the Howard-street Methodist Epis- | copal Church last night five posts of the Grand Army of the Republic were repre- sented. Five hundred seats were reserved | for them and a great crowd was inattend- | ance. The pastor, Rev. Dr. John A. B. Wilson, said: 5 | As I look into your faces I seem to hear again the drumbeat of ‘61 -A boy of 12, T member the call of the country to arms.

In April, 181, at the war, the Seventh New Y militia were ordered to Washington to defend the capital. When their train reached Philadelphia they learned that below Havre de Grace, Md., the railroad had been destroved by the onfed- erates or their friends. hey accordingly took the steamer Boston at Philadelphia and pro- aking out of the ceeded down the Delaware River, out upon the Atlantic Ocean, to Cape Henry, up the Chesapeake Bay to Annapolis, Md., at which point they found the Eighth Maesachusetts, in command They lear: Baltimore including three of Colonel Benjamin Butler. ed that the track between there and , and eight locomotives had been dismantled and thelr parts plled in one confused heap in the roundhouse.

Dr. Rader spoke of the magnificent mili- tary character of Grant, the genius of Sherman, the dash of Sheridan, the majesty of Hancock and the incomparable character of Thomas. Of the volunteers he sald those of the American army had demonstrated by their intelligence from the days of Washington down to the pres- ent time that in thelr hands the destinic of the entire country were safe, particu- larly when depending on their valor. He also pald an eloquent tribute to Julia Ward Howe, Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe, as being among the un-uniformed soldiers, who, by elo- quent service, had rendered material sup- port in upholding the Stars and Stripes during the Rebellion, and had done so much in the cause of civilization. C. M. SHORTRIDGE AT ZION CHURCH The memorial services at the Zion A. M. E. Church, 805 Stockton street, were conducted by Rev. T. Brown last evening. The church was tastefully decorated with | national colors and flowers, and the cholr rendered patriotic music.. Nearly every seat in the large edlfice was occupied. The address of the evening was deliv- ered by Senator Charles M. Shortridge and was very impressive and full of strong points concerning the ‘emancipation of the negro race. The subject handled by the speaker was “What the Negro Did to Secure His Freedom,” but Shortridge added t t might-be-more properly ex- pressed- “What -the- Negro Did to Secure the Safety of the United States.”” He re- ‘ferred to the events of the war and averred that the use of slaves as soldiers should have been made by the Govern- ment two .vears before it was. To this delay he attributedthe prolongation of ‘the war and an immense usel ithe was eless’ sacrifice ‘R..A. AND N. U.

Fowler was severely cut about the face and head. His assailant was arrested after an excit- ing chase and locked up in the City Prison on the charge of assault to commit mur- der. Shortly after 9 o’clock Hennessey, who was under the influence of liquor, en- tered Fowler’s place of business and ac- costing one of the waiters asked him for a sandwich. Hennessey represented that he was connected with a morning paper and that he was ynable to buy anything to eat, as he had “blown in” what money he bad on his best girl. The waiter promtly served him with a sandwlich after cau- tioning him not to inform the proprietor. A few minutes later Fowler walked into the restaurant and seeing 1 Hemmessey munching on_the sandwich in front of the bar requested him to take a seat. “It didn’t cost me anything,” replied Hennessey. “I stood off the guy for it” (pointing to the waiter). “Don’t discharge him,” pleaded Hennessey. ‘“He knows a hungry man when he sees him.” As he became abusive Fowler started to eject him, when Hennessey struck him in the face. Fowler returned the attack and succeeded in knocking down the ob- streperous visitor. After regaining his feet Hennessey picked up a large knife | which lying on the table and cut Fowler across the forehead and nose. He also made a deep gash on the right cheek. Fowler’s screams for help tracted the attention of several men and they ran to his assistance Hennessey immediately dashed from the restaurant, followed by his pursuerst One of them overtook him, and as he attempted to arrest him Hen- nessey suddenly wheeled around and made a lunge at him with the knife. Evi- dently realizing that he would not be taken without further bloodshed one of the men lustily blew a_ police whistle. In the meantime Hennessey climbed over the fence on the east side of the gar- dens, and rushing into a' vacant hous took refuge hehind some empty barrels Policemen Ratten and Webster were in- formed of his place of concealment and | they proceeded to arrest him. Hennessey at first showed a disposition to defy them, but was finally induced to surrender at the point of a pistol. He was then hand- cuffed and removed to the City Prison, | where he was formally charged. The knife with which he did the cut- | ting s booked as evidence against him. Fowler's wounds are not serious. AT THE PARK AND CLIFF. High Winds Make Pleasure-Seeking a Labor of Love.

The following entries have already been made: Orestes Plerce, K. M. Fitzgerald, W. P. Johnson, C. O. G. Miller, H. M. A| Miller, J. H. Ames, G. S. Wheaton and H. H. Smith.

Folger have to play to decide which of them is to be entitled to the honor of having his name engraved on the Cap- tain's cup, and R. A. Cooke (handicap 6) having beaten E. R. Folger (scratch) two up, and also having defeated W. P. John- son (handicap 8) 10 up. will contend with J. A. Folger for the Tibbets cup. =t s Chance for Amateurs.
