NO GRAVE NEGLECTED. Not a grave in any of the cemeteries where rests a soldier or a sailor of the United States army or navy was .neg- lected by the veterans. Over each was strewn with lavish hand beautiful flow. ers, and a flag of the nation was planted | on each mound. Firing squads and buglers gave the military honors withk rifie salutes and “.aps.” Lompany A, Veteran Reserves, N.

R. veterans, representing the several Alameda County posts, as- sembled at the gates of Mountain View Cemetery, and, escorted by Camp Gen eral Liscum, service men of the Spanish war, marched through the tree-arched avenues of the cemetery to the soldiers’ plat, where the services in honor of de- _parted heroes were held: Captain H. H. Todd, past commander past_com- mander Lyon Post, G. A. R.; Charles L. Metz- ger, past commander Joe Hooker Post, G. A. R. Special Alds—S. G. S. Dunbar, prineipal Durant School; Harry F. Huber, Camp Colonel Liscum, §. M. of Spanish war; Frank H. Ship- ley, Cdlonel E. D. Baker Camp, Song of Veterans, CHILDREN JOIN IN SONG. Arrival at the plat was followed by a dispersing of the veterans to points of vantage on the terraces overlooking the spot - where the master of ceremonies had his station. They joined thousands of others who had come to hear and pay tender tribute to the soldier dead. A great throng of people was present, eager to catch the words of thespeakers and listen to notes of song coming from\school chil- dren singers. The unfurling of the American flag was the signal for the services to begin. As the Stars and “Stripes ‘trembled out into the breeze the notes of “The Star- Spangled Banner” bursting from a cornet played by Miss Grace Crane roused the patriotism of the multitude. The boys and giris of the Durant School, under the direction of Miss E. Greenman, sang ‘“The Old Flag Forever."’ Prayer was offered by the Rev. Paul Stewart, pastor of the First Unlted Pre byterian, Church. This was followed the Introductory address by J. A. Colq: houn, SBSL comander of Lyon Post, G. A. R., and president of the day, who spoke of “Memorial Day.” Lincoln's Gettysburg address was read by Captain W. R. Thomas of Appomattox Post, G. A. R., who made the words of tre martyred President ring again with fervor and pairiotism. The beautiful custom of decorating (he graves of the eoldiers was participated in by the members of Camp E. D. Baker, Scns of Veterans, and the school children. Young men, sons of veterans, planted flags above the graves of their fathers, while the children of these veterans’ so: strewed the grassgrown mounds with gar- lands of foses and carnations, lilies and sweet peas and all the fragrant blossoms of California gardens. After these tender tributes the school children reassembled and sang “God Bless the Soldier.” DEFENDS THE SOLDIER. The Rev. A. T. Needham, past depart- ment chaplain of the depariment of Call- fornia_and Nevada, was the oratér of the day. He addres: himself to '‘The War of 1861: Its Heroes and Its Victories,” speaking in part as follows: There were more battles fought in the four years of our civil war than in ail the twenty years' campaigning of Napoleon I There were more fathers and eons, husbands and brothers slain in battle during that war than in ali the wars of the English people from the days of William the Conqueror to the days of Queen Victoria, and there were more persons slain in a single battle of the war for the Union than in all the wars on the American continent from the days of Christopher Columbus to the days of Abraham Lincoln. What destruction |of life, what waste of treapure, what desolation of fruitful fields and what rulh of cities and the patriot soldier Who fmperils his life that the oppressed may be made free, and that his | Government may be secure and strong. There is far more bemevolence in the man who im- perils his life for country and principle than in him whose only virtue is to attempt the de- fense of the unworthy by the wag of his tongue. It may be too soon to pass judgment upon the actfons of our military men in the Philip- Dpines, but it {8 contrary’ to the history of the American soldier that he should be vindictive and cruel. Perhaps it was imprudent for General Funs- ton to have expressed himself in such a way as to reflect upon the judgment and practice of an Amerfcan Senator, but it would be a pity to sée him suffer for speaking the truth. Whatever judgment the world may pass vpon the brave little general the old soldler will admire him still. The Rev. Mr. Needham's address was followed by the =inging of Keller's “American Hymn"” and ‘‘America’” by the children of the Durant School. The services wera concluded with the firing of salttes over the graves of Clvil War and Mexican War veterans by mem- bers. of Camp.General Liscum, Service Men_of the Spanish War, under the com- mdnd of Captain Fred L. Baker, and the sounding of *‘taps’” by George N. Powers, bugler of Camp General Liscum. After a_street parade Company. A, Veteran Reserves, N. G. C., Captain Charles King commanding, tite’ organiza- tion went to Mountaln View Cémetery this morning, where services were held at the graves of Otto Schmidt, Colonel Fred- erick Gast and Commander E. H, Nichols, At the grave of the last named the band played “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and Cotnty Superintendent of Schools T. O, Crawford gave an address in eulogy of the soldiers and sailors of the wars, and in particular of the work Commander Nichols had done in the nation’s service at Manila. McKINLEY TREE PLANTED. During thé afternoon there was a spe- cfal celebration and the planting of the MaKlnlvevy memorial tree by Lieutenant H. H. Woodruff, a member of the assassi- nated President’s Ohio regiment during the Civil War. Besides the active partic- ipants’in this tribute there were several thousand spectators, who had assembled about the plat. Former Mayor . R. Thomas acted as_president of the day. The Rev. W. M. Martin delivered the in- vocation. After music, Lieutenant Wood- ruff read a letter from Mrs. McKinley ex- pressive of her gratitude for the memorial to her dead husband. The speaker also explained that soil had bheen gathered from all of the battlefields upon which the martyred President had fought. This was-then deposited about the tree, a beautiful young sequoia, by T. Q. Craw- ford and a delegation of pupils of the Lin- ccln School, compesed of Miss Charlotte Beach, Miss Florence Krause, Miss Fan- rie Mackinnon, Mies France Melquiond, Miss Ivah uu;gnsa Miss Marguerite Og- den, Miss Ida McDonald, Miss Rita Tuck, fi‘nfi':' Florence Pardee and Miss Sylvia er.

His will be done. J. Rollin Fftch spoke on behalf of the Sonrs of Veterans, Lin 8. Church, Judge F. B. Ogden, John J. Allen and Dr. George C. Pardee also made short addresses. After benediction by the Rev. . Martin salutes were fired and the ex cises were closed with “‘taps.’” The committee in charge of .the tree plarting was composed of H. H. Wood- ruff, Company A, Twenty-third Ohio Vol- unteers; T. O. Crawford and W. R. Thomas, captain and assistant adjutant gerneral, United States Volunteers. At the evening exercises, held in.the First Methodist Church, F. W. Cushiug, past commander of Admiral Porter Post, G. AR, prefided. Many Clvil War vet- érans of this city, Alameda and Berkeley occupied seats of honor close to the ros- trum. A musical and literary programms preceded the address of the evening, which was delivered by the Rev. H. W. Fraser, pastor of the Brooklyn Presbyte- flals Church. In part the Rev, Mr. Fraser said: { It is a sublime act when seventy millions of people gather as they did to-day and by common consent pald the tenderest of respects to our honored soldier dead. Decoration day speaks a languagé and love of its own. To us it 18 a repetition in mind of that great sacrifice that preserved this nation in its unity, There is now but one people, one country and one flag. It seems to me thAt God intended that our mation should continue as one and that the Clvil War was the seal to its unity. During the trylng years from 1860 to 1865 European powers predicted that the life of our republic was drawing to a close and that the bubble of fts vigor would be broken. Our Government to-day s the most stable on the earth and those very nations that prédicted our downfall forty-two years ago are the ones that to-day are falling over themselves to form an_alliance with us, BERKELEY, May 20.—Decoration day in. the college town was marked by a me- morial service held in the evening at Shattvek Hall by Lookout Mountain Post, G.

He did not notice the San Jose traln approaching rapidly from the opposite direction upon the track on which he was standing.

Deputy Coroner James Fowler was no- tified of the fatality and moved the re- mains to the branch morgue, where an inguest will be held to-morrow evening. The dead boy was the son of Thomas W.
