Not a resting place in the sacred homes of peace was for- gotten. Over every humble mound and at every stately’ mausoleum that marked a soldier’s burial place waved the stars and stripes, garlanded with many flower emblems. And when the last word had been spoken and the last song offered, the soldiers living fired their volleys of salute and the mournful ;| cadences of the buglers’ “taps” wafted sweetly through the soughing trees, the final touch of intl itary honor to those who sleep in sl lent bivouac forever. A DOUBLE SERVICE. Separate celebrations of Memorial day were held in Oakland. Veterans divided their\services to the dead. At. 8t. Mary's metery a soldiers’ plat was dedicated by the members of Company A, Veteran Reserves; Ap- pomattox Post, G. A. R.; League of the Cross Cadets and other organiza tlons. Subsequently the reserves con- ducted exercises at a new soldiers’ plat in Mountain View Cemetery. At the Grand Army of the Republic inclosure in Mountain View Cemetery posts of the Grand Army, women's auxiliary, hundreds of school children, Sons of Veterans and Spanish War Veterans took part in the general ob- servance of the day that was centered at that place. Boldlers of the Spanish-American ar did not forget their dead who rest in the new piat at Mountain View Cemetery. There the military honors were paid and short adadresses were made in remembrance. . During the afternoon receptions and unions were held at the Grand Army eadquarters, Iul‘:heom being served to the old soldiers'by the women of the relief corps and auxiliaries. Patriotic )'hi:’lp 1.

There are with us to-day those who ore the gray, as well as those who wore the blue, In the great Civil War. There aro with us to-day those who went forth In the recent war to fight for humanity and to assist a sis- ter republic in her struggle against oppression. They ma¥ched elbow to elbow under the stars and stripes to the tunes of ‘‘Yankee Doodle” and “‘Dixie."” 1t seems as If nature is speaking to us in the entwining of her beautiful flowers together over graves of those that fought for the gray and those that fought for the blue. When death comes all animosities, bitterness and human enmity should be buried. We want a happy and united country. We want good will andt amity between every section and the friendship and co-operation of every good efti- zen in working for the betterment of all of the people of our common country. It ts an Inspiring thought that the great army you, veterans of the Civil War, repre- sent fought not to enslave, but to make free those fn bondage; fouglft not to destroy, but to save a nation. If we will strive to emulate the virtues of the noble men who have gone we will leave this sacred spot after our devo- tlons better equipped for our confllot {n the battle of life and to do our duty as Amerlean citizens.

At St. Mary's Ceme- tery the veterans assembied at the new plat, above which a flag was raised by an Jacob Winkler, with Sergeant Sherwood and Corporal Duesler assist- ing. The Veteran Reserve fired a salute to the flag. Chairman Jacob Winkler introduced John E. McElroy as president of the day. In a stirring address President McElroy gave heed to the pride Ameri- cans should feel in their country’'s his- tory. He said the fathers of the nation had learned the lesson in a severe school of adversity that violation of just rights of man was tyranny, and they had formed a union to free them- selves from it. The orator continued: It is beautiful and proper that a day like this showld be set apart for observance and that expression be given to feelings of love and of grief, and the sentiments of patriotism should be awakened by the presence of sol- diers living at the. graves of soldiers dead. In dedicating this iast resting place I shall not refer to the great conflict between the North and the South to disparage the South- ern soldier. He fought consclentiously. He was a brave and a generous foe. And mnow, th the passing of the years the storm and sfrife have gone and the Northern soldier gives his hand fn full meed of praise to his chival- ric foe. Thank God to-day no sear is visible upon the body or the spirit of a perfect Union. IMMORTAL SPEECH READ. Lincoln's Gettysburg address was read by County Superintendent of Schools T. O. Crawford. J. F. McCue, a graduate of St. Mary's College, gave an eloquent address entitled “Memorial Day Thoughts.” The young speaker touched hif hearers by the sweetness and beauty of his well-chosen remarks.

Not satisfled with knocking down and kicking his weak victim once, thé desperado assailed her a second time and then, becoming alarmed at her screams for help, made his escape in the darkness. Miss Seebeck had been visiting friends ,in San Francisgo and alighted from the last South Side local train that arrived at12:250'clock. She was in- cumbered with a number of packages, which she carried in her arms. When the young woman approached a field or corn on Encinal avenue, near Re- gent ‘street, she was startled by a man who jumped at her fr the tall growth of corn. He said notfhing, but swung at her viciously and hurled her into the gutter. As she fell M Seebeck threw one of her packages at her assailant. It contained a bottle of ink and this was broken, the contents being scat tered over the sidewalk and the young woman’s hat.
