CROWDS IN QUEENS CEMETERIES
But%*ew of the Old Heroes Could Stand
Fatigue of Visit.
Thousands of visitors crowded th" ceme
teries in the bopouKti of Queens yesterday,
and the ranks of the visiting: Grand Army
posts were almost lost to sight in the crush
of civilians. Instead of stepping to ', th«
music of bands the greater number of
veterans rode to the cemeteries in coaches.
Grandchildren of the pray haired heroes
did the decorating- of the graves in many
instances.
Many of the loon] Grand Army poets in
Queens held memorial services In their.
home villages, but many members had to
forego a visit to the graves of comrades
on account of the fatigue it would have
used. Th«r few that came tried to make
a brave showins. arid their, scant numbers
sad haltlne steps caused the younger gen
eration. which looked upon the occasion as
a sort of holiday, to pause reverently as the
little groups marched paFt.

cisei were started on the lawn just east
of the. mausoleum, but had to be trans

ately because of a sudden downpour.
The Rev. Dr. Nehemiah Boynton. de
livered the oration of the day in . the
Grant monument, telling the assembled
veterans and their friends that the spirit
of brotherhood which they had shown in
the days of the war was needed now.
"One of the demands which you -may
make on those who follow you." he said
to them, "is that they "shall take brother
hood as you took It, that they shall pass
by the spirit of cheap politics that de
nies rights to a colored man because his
skin is ebony instead of marble."
lie condemned the recent parade of
the International Sunday School Union,
at which, he said, discrimination had
been shown against colored delegates,
declaring that true democracy should be
not "I am a3 good as you are," but '/You
are as good as I am."

ATTACK ON MR. ROOSEVELT
T. M. Osborne Says Ke Rejoices
in Prizefights and the Butch
ering of Animals.
While hundreds of spectators stood In '. •■
rain, and .cheered for "George the Third,",
the little grandson of the advocate Of the
single tax, Henry George, 3d, unveiled yes
terday afternoon at the Union Square Ho
tel a bronze tablet commemorating the
work of his famous grandfather. A little
Inter, the same persons went to the West
moreland Hotel and took part in the cere
mony attending the 'unveiling of a- tablet
lii memory of \yilliam L,loya Garrison. The
flag was pulled aside by Henry S. Vlllar.il,
a great-grandson of the reformer.
Bach tablet is simple in design, showing
a profile bass-relief of the head, and is
erected where the man it commemorates
died. The memorials arc the work of Rich
.■•rfi P. George., second son of Henry George.
The ceremonies were held under the au
spices of the GarriHor.-George Tablet Com
mittee, of which Joseph H. Choate is chair
man and Bolton Hall is treasurer. Among
those present were Mrs. Henry Villard, a
daughter of Garrison; Harold O. Villard,
William Lloyd Garrison. 3d. Henry- George.
2d, and his family, Richard F. George and
many friends and admirers of the two re
formers.
Bolton Hall opened the exercises by read
ing a letter from Lyman Abbott, in which
he wrote:
"Henry George, in dealing with the prob
lem of poverty, went to the . root of the.
matter. He has been accused of denying,
the right of property. He did not deny it;
he denned It, and. In my Judgment, he de
fired It correctly. The budget in .England,
the conservation movement in the Unite_d
States, have grown out of his doctrine,,
that the soil and its products belong to the,
community, net to the individual, save as
the community gives them to the individ
ual, and that one generation cannot give
away In perpetuo the property of genera
tions to follow. The recognition of this
twofold doctrine of society will not put an
end to poverty, hut It will do much to put
an end to that form of poverty which is
due to social Injustice."
Former Congressman 'Robert Baker, of
Brooklyn, after speaking of the significance
of George's work introduced Louis F. Post,
of Chicago, editor of "The Public." who
said that George will stand for centuries
as the pioneer advocate of "abolition of
monopoly ?n land, without the free use
of which men are slaves. He was not op
posed to private property, hut stood against
the private ownership of land. It has been
said that George hoped to abolish poverty
he wished rather to give every man the
opportunity to abolish his own poverty. He
sought fo solve the enigma of ever increas
ing poverty In the midst of abounding
wealth. George stood for no class: he stood
for men."
Thomas M. Osborne. of Auburn, who
delivered a tribute to Garrison; said that
"we live in an era (somewhat similar to
Garrison's) of widespread cynicism and
lack of faith In popular Institutions." In
the course of his address he said:
"Garrison began his agitation when the
nation had made for itself a popular idol,
and for that purpose had selected a man of
hasty and violent passions and prejudices,
of little training or education except that
of rough frontier and military camp.- and
a slave owner. We live in a period when
the nation has made for itself another
popular Idol, a man of no training in accu
racy, either by profession or business,- a
man who rejoices in prizefights and whole
pale butchering of animals, one who has
delighted to arouse in our youth the love
of war for its own pake, and the retarded
development of whose own boyish ener
gies has carried the barbarism of boyhood
far into a restless and flamboyant middle
age.
"I would not deny to either popular idol
the possession of. many sterling virtues,
but the change from . Jefferson to Jackson
as the exponent of progressive principles
was certainly disquieting to thoughtful
lovers of democracy, and certainly not less

"easy," say;s,,coney ISLAND
Swallows the Coin of 250,000
Without Trace of Effort.
Coney Island entertained 250.CC0 persons,
yesterday,- and did so with hardly a.
ripple of excitement. All the machinery
of the famous resort was moving with,
midseason precision and incidents of gen
eral interest were few and far between.
The police had as- easy a time as their
brethren ef Far Rockaway or Farthest
Bronx. The Fire Department was called
out to extinguish a taxicab. Otherwise
everything moved smoothly with, the big
crowd, and it was separated" from its
money in a manner to gladden the hearts
and pockets of the proprietors of the vari
ous amusement places and concessions. ;
Two employes of "Alligator Joe' were
slightly injured at his place In Dreamland
during the afternoon. James BagleyVhad
Just takeu a 'four-foot " 'gator" from the
tank, when he slipped and fell on the plat
form where the formidable and ferocious
reptiles are put through their paces. Bag
'ley Immediately became the" object of a
violent attack, and the alligator, his tail
working like a flail, Inflicted several se
vere bruises before Ragley was able to re
pulsehim. Half an hour later another
alligator nipped two fingers from the' hand
of J. W. Plunkett. another employe. Both
men were attended at the Dreamland
Emergency Hospital.

advocated the combining of the Memorial
Day of the North with all Confederate
memorial days in the South into one cele
bration. The day accepted, he said, made
no difference.
Following the ■■ custom of the last few
years Southern militia companies took part
to-day in exercises held under, the .auspice 3
of the numerous Grand . Army; of the Re
public posts throughout the South. At
Marietta, Ga. : Anderson ville, Ga.: Chatta

thousands of Union soldiers are buried in
national cemeteries, the graves were
marked with tiny American flags and ap
propriate addresses delivered by Northern
and Southern speakers. At some points the
graves of Confederate soldiers were also
marked by the Union veterans.

STEAMBOATS FARE POORLY
Expected Crowds and Profits
Shrink as Weather Thickens.
Tho uncertain weather conditions which
existed yesterday did not bring out the
usual large excursion crowds that have
previously ' swarmed to the waterfront .on
Memorial Day. The biggest part of the
excursion traffic began In the forenoon
when the sky was clear. The steamboat
owners along the Battery had hopes of
akin a real Ml day of It until 2 p.
m.. when the sky became overcast. An
hour later, when a rainstorm came up. the
men who handle excursions were convinced
that- M great profits could be expected on
the day's business.
' The steimboats running up the Hudson
had perhaps th" btsrieest part of the holiday
crowd. A special announcer was on hand
to " inform the 'Hudson River crowds the
e:-ficT course taken by Curtiss, the aviator,
on his Sunday morning flight from Al
bany. .' The ; fishing boats from the Bat
tery did a 'fair hiiPirr-f-. and the boat run
ning' to the Statue of I.irertv. offering a
shm arid cheap trip, carried all the pas
sengers allowed by law.
Inspectors from th« staff of the Surveyor
of Customs were assigned to the various
points of embarkation, but no cases of
overcrowding were reported. It was said
at the Barge _ Office yesterday that th*
crowds were not sufficiently large to war

Mr. Moors paid, in part: "Perhaps the
most discouraging .stage . of . all is . when

captured two hundred men of the Mad- f

into Bluefielda informed General Estrada
that the 'grovernrnent troops under Gen-*
eral Lara were starving.
While the State Department malataiiai

circles that th*> action ••' Estrada in re-
moving the custom house from BioV-:
fields Bluff and the announcement of tha '
Madriz garrison there that the sovera
m^nt will continue to demand payrnsa*
of duties to It, have placed this govern

On the first occasion in which aa
American vessel la held up for double- :
duties the question v.'ill be put squarely
up to the department whi< ! «>f the coni
batants is the responsible jrovemment of
Nicaragua and entitled to collect fcn r ';.

avoided recognition of either side.
No word was received from the seen©
of the fighting, either by the State or

It Is believed that with -he landing
