IN HONOR OF THE BLUE AND GREY,
flow Annapolis Celebrated the Day.
IfOXORIWtt THE DEAD.
At 1 p. m. the procession formed
on State Circle en-route for the line
of decoration. The procession was
headed by the city police, mounted.
The line of march proceeded first to
National Cemetery where the follow
ing programme was carried out: Dirge
by band on entering cemetery; or
ders of the day, by S. Jiekling, adjt.;
opening services, by L. B. Smith,
post commander; prayer, by chaplain,
Kev. G. V. Leech ; singing by select
choir ; poem—“ The Blue and the
Grey,” by Miss Baker.
HON. A. G. WARNER,
the orator of the day, was then intro
duced, who spoke as follows :
It is in accord with a memorable
custom practised in all ages among
all people to hmor their dead who
were slain in defence of their country.
The oldest monuments that have
come down to us are monuments to
commemorate the deeds of heroes
slain in war The Greeks set apart a
special place in which they might
honor the dead who died for their
countrv. The earliest songs chant the
heroes slain in battle. The
custom is not confined to any people
or any period of history; but seems
to be a sentiment spontaneously
j bursting forth wherever great deeds
have been done. Our friends have
fallen on both sides,
All countries have had their civil
strifes. England had hqr civil war
that lasted through three reigns; and
at the end ol which, two centuries ago
Cavalier and Roundhead came togeth
er in her parliament; and now not a
mau in all the British isles could be
found who is not aft ready to defend the
honor of Roundhead as he is the Cav
alier, or the Cavalier a3 he is the
Roundhead. In decorating the graves
of the fallen, let us remember that
grief and sorrow came alike to those
who lost friends, father, brother and
sons in battle on one side as on the
other, and I rejoice that no true sol
dier has ever lound it in his heart to
wish one pang added to the sorrows
of either side.
Whilst I believe no war was ever
waged in any country or any age, more
important than the war for the main
tenance of our Union, still the time
will come,’aye, now is, when every
part of the Union will be found to
take pride in the valor and heroism
displayed by the soldiers on both
sides of our unfortunate conflict;
and will not only be pround of Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan, Meade, Hooker’
and other illustrious generals; but
also of the fame of Lee, Jackson,
Johnson and others equally illustrious
on that side.
I believe the results of the war
will be eventually, if they are not
already, acknowledged to be as valua
ble to those who fought and lost as
those who fought and won.
Surely if free government, free in*
stitutioDS, are to be prized, and I
trust they ever will be, surely it must
come some day to be believed byall that
those who fought to save the Union
were fighting for the good of all; for
I hold, as I ever held, that free gover
mentwas possible only through the
maintenance of the union of all the
States; for with separation, standing
armies would be necessary on both
sides, and with standing armies would
come strong governments, and the
disappearance of government by the
people would follow. Then would
we have repeated on this content
the history of Europe since its history
begun.
Then folio wed a dirge by the band ;
singing a national hymn—“ America”
by* choir and enitdren ; strewing of
flowers; after which the procession
re-formed and concluded the memorial
' , i - ♦ Jr .
exercises at the Naval Cemetery on
Goverment Farm, with the following
programme: Dirge by band on en
tering Naval Cemetery ; prayer;
reading of poem—“ Crown * our
Heroes,” by Miss Taylor; singing—
“ The Huron's Dead,” by Miss Emma
Brewer.
ADDRESS BY 8. THOS. M’CULLOUGU.
Theu followed an eloquent address
by S. Thos. McCullough, Esq., which
closed the exercises of the day. Mr.
McCullogh spoke as follows :
Twenty long years had elapsed
since the last gun was fired, the last
long roll beat to arms, and the last
charge w r as made in that conflict in
which brave Americans met, each
solemnly impressed with the justice of
his cause, and each ready to lay down
his life in obedience to his convic
tions. He then spoke of the great
changes that had taken place since
then, of the grand progress made by
us, as a people, and of our wealth in
every department of industrial enter
prise—truly had “the lines fallen to
us in pleasant places and ours was
a goodly heritage.”
He then spoke of the changed rela
tions between the people of the two
sections, the fraternal intercourse con
stantly going on between them, and
said we had at last come to feel that
we were indeed one people, of one
common race and heritage, and hav
ing a common future hope and des
tiny.
Mr. McCullough then spoke of the
re unions taking place in various
sections of the land, notably of the
recent visit of the 28th N. Y. volun
teers to the sthYa.(Confederate) Reg
iment, and of the princely and royal
welcome extend by the boys who
wore the grey to those who wore the
blue —and the noble patriotic and
elequent sentiments uttered by both
on the occasion.
We regret that our limited space
prevents us from giving a more ex
tended synopsis of Mr. McCullough’s
oration.
Reception of the Great Incohonee.
The great chiefs of the tribe of Im
proved Order of Red Men, arrived
here last night and were met at the
train by the Chesapeake Tribe, headed
by the Annapolis Cornet Band. The
company proceeded to the Assembly
Rooms, where after some fine drilling
by the Chesapeake Tribe, in Indian
costume, they were given an entertain
ment. The early part of the evening
was devoted to an entertainment ol
a musical and literary character, the
programme being introduced with a
welcome address by Hon. Wm.T. Igle
hart. Qpring the course of his remarks
Mr. Iglehart spoke of St. Anne’s on
the banks of the Chesapeake, being
the birthplace of the Red Men, whose
society existed as far back as 1789.
After bidding his fellow Red Men
“welcome to such ancient sights and
such traditions in the name of the
Chesapeake Tribe, in the name of
the pale faces, and in the name
our fair ones,” the great chief
Incohonee was introduced, who fol
lowed by an interesting address.
Miss Annie Dorsey then gave the re
citation, “A Leap for Life,” which was
well executed. Misses Janie and
Katie Feldmeyer sang very sweetly
a duet, “The Lily and the Rose.”
Mr. Conley, the great Chief Minne
wah of the United States and the
great Chief of Records Of the State of
Pa., delivered an address which was
interspersed with wit and humor;
this was followed in turn with a medley
by little Clara Wolfes whose youth
and sweetness won the hearts of all.
There followed successively a solo by
Miss Lena Wolfes, “Midshipmite,”
reading—“ The Lamp on the Prairie,”
by Mrs. R. Y. Clayton ; Cornet duet
by Messrs. Feislerand Necker, and the
Doxology. Refreshments were then
served in the lower hall, after which
dancing commenced which lasted un
til the icee sma* hours.
Arrested.
William Jones and George Savage*
were arrested last night by Deputy
United States # Marsbal Latourneau,
1 charged with selling liquor without
a United States license. They were
taken to Baltimore this morning,
where they will have a hearing be
fore U. S. Commissioner Rogers. >

[Correspondence of the Evening Capital.]
THE THIRD DISTRICT.
North Severn. May 29, 1884,
Mr. Editor:
It is seldom we are called upon to
record at the same time, the death of
two prominent members of one com
munity—two persons, who have been
indentified in social and political life
so many years together, should pass
away, from the toils and cares of this
world within a few hours of each
other. We refer to Peter Sheminant
a prominent citizen, reliable merchant
and shrewd politician, and Dr. &aml.
I). Lynch, a respected gentleman,
eminent physician, and conspicious
in the politics of this district for many
years. Two men have gone from a
neighborhood who will be remem
bered with regret by those with
whom they mingled in the daily
path’s of life.
Dr. Lynch has practiced medicine
for nearly half a century in the vicinity
in which he lived, and had endeared
himself to many, by his kind solici
tude for his patients.
Mr. Scheminant was buried on
Sunday afternoon and Dr. Lynch on
Monday afternoon. Both funerals
were largely attended, by friends
from this, and other districts, also
Baltimore city ; which fact was evi
dence of the high esteem in which both
were held in this community. B.
State Teachers at Ooean City.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, July 9, 10 & 11, the annual meet

the board will be also reduced to a
reasonable price. The entertainment
given by the association will be of an
interesting and instructive character
and we sincerely hope some of our
Annapolis teachers will represent our
schools on this occasion.
Going to Europe.
Owing to ill-health, Judge Oliver
Miller, chief judge of the Circuit
court for this county, and associate
judge of the Court of Appeals, will
