words of Logan: 'if other eyes grow dull,
and other bands slack, and other hearts
cold In tboeolcmn trust, ours shall keep It
well, so long as light and warmth of life re

"W bile this day Is sacred to tbo memories
of our dead, It.Ia also sacred la honor of tbe

ritual; 'This day and Its memories are sa

wept for husbands who would never return;
In honor of orphaus whose richest heritage
la their fallen father's heroic name; in honor
of men and women who ministered to tbe
wounded snddying; and In honor of tbe men
who counted not their lives dear wben their
country needed them, We pjy tribute
alike to those who sleep beside tbe dust of
their kindred, or under the salt sea, or In
nameltss graves where 'only angels of God
stand aa sentinels till tbo reveille of tbo

In the procession today there was
another hitch, caused by tbe Mollneaux
Guarda of Brooklyn refusing to accept tbo
place assigned them by General Ordway,
General Carnaban and tbe committee fiom
tbe Grand Army. It appears tbat the
Mollneaux Guarda were the first to tender
tbclr services aa a special escort to the
Grand Army last night. It was decided by
tbo committee to form tbe troops In bat
tailous and the Mollnesux Guards were
naturally assigned tbe place In battalion
number three, where they have been since
tho formation of tho camp.
But tbey mado tbe polut tbat having first

tbey bad been alighted and refused to ac

DEATH Or MAJOR VOOttV.
Incidents In the Career of it Veteran
Correapomlent.
Major Bern Pcrley Poore, the veteran
Journalist, passed quietly away at 12 30
o'clock Sunday morning at his aptrtments
In the Eblltt Houso, bis wlfo and slater,
Mies Ellen Poore, having boon with him
during his Illness. Tbo arrangoments for
Ibe funeralhave not yet 'been fully decided
upon, but there will bo no services hero.
The remains were yesterday forwarded to
Massachusetts, where tho funeral will take
filace. Ills two sisters, whostirvlvo blm,
lavo never married. Tbey and his crand
son, aged nearly six .years, Ksn: Per toy
Poore Moseley, are tbo only survivors of
their branch ot the Poore family.
Major Poore was tbe dean of Washington
correspondents, having first commencol
bla career here as far back aa ISIO. although
be bad previously made several visits to
iihuidriod. j iu was

November 3, W20, and
was consequently 07
years old. ills jour

IS years old, as editor
of tho Southern Whiff,

Iwas appointed histori
cal agent of Massa
chusetts In France,
and. while abroad.
acted aa foreign correspondent of a Boston
newspaper. Among his literary works are
tbe "Rise and Fall of Louis Pbilllppe,"
published In ISIS, and "Tbe Conspiracy
Til Hi," given to tbe world la 1805.
Ills first visit here was when be was but
seven years of age. In 1830 be went with
his father to visit An Irew Jackson at tbe
Hermitage. At this time ho asked Jackson
for his autograph and ft was given, Mr.
Jackson rcmsrklng tbat he did not see why
people wanted a bit of Ids' handwriting.
Tbla was tbo beginning of Major Poore'a
ACTOaiUril COLLECTION,
and It was tho first of the 10,000 and more
autograba which ho bad filed away. Major
Pooro baa been a collector all bis life, and
bad hundrcda of prints of Goorge Washing
ton and relics of nearly every prominent
man in the United States.. Ills home at
Indian Hill, nesr New bury port, Is a perfect
museum of antiquities and curiosities.
Vet bo was In no eenso of tbe word an
autograph fiend. He never wroto to any
one for their autograph. He simply kept
what came to blm. Aa be said but a short
time ago, speaking on this subject: "I
would not pay a cent for tbe autograph of
any mau. Autozranbs should not be col
lected as you collect tbe front teeth or
finger nail parings ot any man. If there Is
no sentiment or association connected with
Ibe name It Is not worth keeping."
Major Poore'a word was as good as his
bond, and during bla lifelong service at
tbe National Capital not even a suspicion
of Iobb)Ing or unfair dealing of any kind
has ever been uttered against his name.
Wben be said be would do a thing It wjs
sore to bo done.
This recalls a wager he made at tbe time
Fremont was a candidate against Uuchaian
loriue rietuency. roore net mat re i
moot would bo elected, and the wagar was '
tbat lha loser of tbe bet was to
WnCBL A BARREL OP AI-PLES
In a wheelbarrow from Newburyport to
Boston. Tbo dlatance was thlrtysereu
miles, and tbe day after election Major
Pooro started, amid tbo cheers ot an enthusi
astic multitude, with his wheelbarrow and
appci. A reporter ot a Bostou paper ac
conpanlcd him to aee tbat ho did not
lighten bis load by eating the apples on bis
way. He reached Boston qn tbo morning
of the third day and a band and a military
escort led blm through tbe crowded streets
to Ibo Ircmont House. There bo found
tbe winner ot tbe wager, and Major Poore,
mounting tbe barrel of apple, delivered
tbem to blm in a patriotic epeech amid loud
eh te ring.
Major Poore'a literary work hn covers 1
wide range, and it la safu to say that his ar
ticles havo lecn quoted byevury paper lo
tho United States Ho wrote for jearsfor
tho Boston Jvuinal, and of late his letters
