This afternoon there was a parade and afterward liter- ary exercises at the armory. District At- torney B. K. Knight was the orator. EMORIAL day was fittingly celebrated throughout the city yesterday. The graves of the soldier dead were garlanded with flowers and ceremonies of a patriotic character were held in the city's silent acres. The survivors of the Civil War marched as in bygone years, but their ranks were thinning and their footsteps faltered on the way. Orators re- called the valor of the veterans of the Civil War and the young men who fought in the late Spanish-American War. The latter also decorated the graves uf those who fell in the far-off Philip- pines, victims to the enemy’s bullets or dread disease. It being a holiday the marts of trade were closed, and the people, taking advantage of the beautiful May day, journeyed into the country and sought recreation. Athletic games of all de- scriptions attracted thousands. Only one accident marred the day. This was a collision be- tween a Fillmore-street electric car and a Haight-street cable car. The motorman lost control of his car and it crashed into the cable car, injuring nearly a score of passengers. ot SRS bl Nation’s Dead Are Remembered at Capital. | & ISoIemn RitesOver || Both the Blue and Gray. | ASHINGTON, N ) —With | S . nles Men ay was ob 1 | 1 1 1 al a before.
