2 HEVER WAS FAIRER MEMORIAL DAY WAS BEAITII'IL, TVIMCAL, OF MIWKSOTAJS SPRING. VETS TURNED OUT IN FORCE 4TO DO HONOR TO THE MKJIORV OF Till: 111 DEPARTED COM RADES. ftR, I\GERSOLL,»S EI-OQI KNCE Stirs a Multitude at the Granil Opera House With a Depth of Patri otic Favor. Never let it be said again that the ele fnents do not favor the observance of Me morial day. Minnesota's highest ideals in a meteorological way were realized. Shortly after midnight of Friday black clouds gath ered in the heavens, and between 2 and 3 a. m. they broke, but It was only for a brief shower, and then they cleared away. The moon was again queen of all, until the gray dawn o'erspread the sky and the sun forced the sister luminary out of sight. From that un the day was superb; warm, yet not too warm; none realized its admir able qualities better than the veterans who vere assigned to march in the respective pa rades. Under foot and over head alike condi tions were as favorable as could be asked, and the results were seen in the persistence •with which the aging comrades kept in the ranks, so rapidly being thinned by death. All the offices of a public naiturn were clos- , ed, of course, and the railroad offices, with the exception of the city and ticket offices, and j the wholesale houses, as usual, were closed; and even the large retail stores, in spite of the fact that it was Saturday, closed their doors from 1 to 4 to permit their employes to participate in the commemorative observ unces. • All the cyclists in the city seemed to be on tlie streets, and the bettor paths about the environs of St. Paul were well patronized by the riders. Fishing parties kept the railroad people busy Friday night and yesterday, many taking this way of testifying their devotion to the day of patriotic self-sacrifice. The more demonstrative, however, decked the graves in the city in the morning, and then In the afternoon gathered about Rice park, where the big afternoon parade formed. I This was a characteristic military parade, headed, of course, by a platoon of the city's guardians, mounted. Adjt. Gen. Muehlberg was chiel marshal. Albert Scheffer was chief j ol staff, while Fred Uichter, J. C. Dona hower and William Faulkner were the aides. Col. Page, U. S. A., commanded the First division, which was made up almost entirely of regulars from Fort Snelling, acting as escort to the orators of, the day and dist . guished guests. Col. Page's aides were Capt liordan, Lieut Mcßae and Lieut Uundy, and the formation was as follows: Third United States Infantry Band. First Battalion Third United Status Infantry. ! Lieut. Col. Edward Moale, Commanding. Virst Lieut. Frank P. Avery, Adjutant. Company G, Capt. Joseph Hale. Company D, ("apt. William Gerlach. Company H, Capt. William C. Butler. Company A, Capt. J. W. Hannay.

Company B, Capt. Arthur Williams. Company C, Capt. P. W. Roe. Orators of the Day in Carriages. ten. John A. Brooke, United States Army, and Staff in Carriages. The second division, headed by the Sec ond Regiment band, was marshaled by O. S. Pine, with A. S. Bates, Bernard Kuhl and James Allen as aides, and was composed of Gettysburg, Ord, Acker and Garfield posts, St. Paul camp of Sons of Veterans and the members of the Naval Veterans' associa tion in carriages. The parade marched through the business district and thence to the Grand opera house, where the main exercises of the day were \ held. Stein's Second Regiment band opened j with a selection, after which the usual in- I vocation was offered by Rev. S. W. Dickin son. The Cecllian quartette, consisting of Miss Jessie Turner and Mesdames D. F. Col vllle, F. H. Bliss and J. S. Southall, ren dored a charming selection, after which the memorial address was delivered by Rev. B. P. Ingersoll, D. D., of the Park Congre gational church. He was interrupted fre quently by enthusiastic applause, particular ly when an eloquent reference to Minnesota's was governor, Hon. Alex Ramsey, was greet ed by the Chautauqua call.

Ladies, and Gentlemen: You who are veterans, gathered this morn ing about the graves of departed comrades that you might enshrine anew in your hearts the memory of their valor, their virtues and their deeds. The swift but eventful years have height ened and brightened the achievements of our defenders, so there is more than "poetic fit ness" in the pageant of flags and of arms in your reverent presence here, and in the floral decorations which have been placed upon the graves of heroes. They are the tokens of unfailing memories and the tributes of ever growing honors due to those who fought in defense of the Union. Offeed in this spirit they become an inspira tion ihat shall elevate the thought, establish the purpose and quicken the heroism of a nation. And all this, not as a fortress in preparation for coming wars, but as a shield with which to ward them off. We bend the knee, not of worship, but of reverent gratitude to the Grand Army of the Republic. Flowers for the graves—the sym bols of our honor and our thanks—and chap lets, "unseen of mortal eye," for the brows of the living! Hear it ye brave men and fair women! Hear it old age and mature life! Hear it ye men of a new generation who today marched In magnificent array, tenderly bearing dewy laurels for departed, but forever illustrious patriots! Hear it ye children whose trustful , spirits and glad voices are the cheer and j hope of our hearts and homes! Ye are the ; jewels of our nation. Hear it ye long-ago bereaved, who vie with each other in honor ing the better than Spartan courage and en durance of the loved ones gone before. We are here to gather from our history lessons and Inspirations that shall be our guide and defense in the days to come. The | fathers, husbands, sons and brothers, whose j patriotic virtues we honor today, were the j champions and vindicators of righteousness j and truth foe our sake. "We bless the turf which wraps their clay, anrl upon the scroll of our nation's history will we write the names (of some their deeds without their names), the names of those who resolutely gave themselves to maintain the plighted faith and sacred com pact of The Fathers. Permit m* to speak briefly of the causes which led up to the war. Their roots had run | deep and wide, and there had grown a tree Whose leaves were not "for the healing of , the nations." For twenty years the con- , science of the nation. North and South, had j bfeeii waking. , . .. From the day of Washington, noble spirits in the South lamented and sought to alleviate the sufferings of slavery. It was an inherited curse under which they groaned. But they wrre the noble remnant. The prevailing ma jority were p.ggresslve and defiant. They de mzuided new t?rritorles for their "peculiar m aruuHon." These or "dissolution." The cap- Itol at Washington was the central arena of the oanMofc Webster, the great, expounder o the constitution, had met the "millinersi of that first conflict, and had vanquished their Schemes.

Ve'erana you remember that day. (jues tions'of polloy and of party vanished! • Brains and hearts *ere fired. For the time slavery dropped out of Bight. The Union was assail ed and on vha.t day hundreds of thousands of' men and women became patriots and registered a vow in heaven. "The Union; it must, it shall be preserved." From farms, from shops from offices, from banks, from railroad trains and trftska, men rushed to arms throughout every free state. The spirit of Bunker Hill and Concord and Lexington, intensified and enlarged by nearly a century of growth, inspired every patriotic heart. Minnesota was among :.he first in the field, lier splendid senator and war governor, \lexander Ra.n^sey, bm-n fov the times and sirded for the stress, surrounded and sus ained by illustrious men, quickly enlisted, trained and sped on their way the bright. hardy ,'olunte-ers of t'na North Star state. Pome of them ;V.l In the conflict, with faces to the foe, and striking sturdy blows for the Union. And those tii&t came back—some of them have "fallen on sleep." As we look Into your eyes, new kindled today, we can see you, by the waking of our memories, <<!otked in * soldier garb, and armed with rifles or swords, as you hastened to the front and became a living- "wall of fire" In defense of your homes and your country, against dissolution and desolat.on. The war camp was new to you, with its i.ent life, its risk" drllr-. its hot sur.s and its soaking rains, but you took them bravely, bfr\-.ause a great pur pose ha-1 stirred yoar manhood. It had thril led the brain (both lobes) and had gone up with its kindling into the soul, and from that *.hrjne breathing courage It sped on its way with luster for the eyes, made deeper and brighter. It taught "your hands to war and your fingers to fight," and made your "shoes iron and brass." And so the years sped on. "Days of darkness, nights of watching," fell upon you, but you sang: "John Brown's body lies a-moulderlng in the grave, But hie soul is marching on." And the president hearing the voice of | Providence from out the gloom. Issued his proclamation of emancipation. In signifi cance and grandeur by the side of our De claration of Independence it hangs, and thc-io ever let it han£—no higher, no lower that it may shine with effulgence upon those immortal words, "We hold these truths to be sslf-evident; that all men are created equal; that they axe endowed" hy their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that am on a; these are life, liberty and the pursuit j of happness." From that day the skies brightened. Our armies did not have picnic excursions, which I were craned wth surrenders, hut steadily, ! w!Ui stalwart blows they pounded their way i to triumph. Appomattox camci! Then there was a discharge in that war. I You sang, "Home Again." and came back j to the pursuits of peace; into the pursuits of |>?ace. There is a philosophy of history which te-aches us that 'Time Is the test of cloeds." We must have distance in order to meainire. and welch th« results of a great reformation or revolution. "Wo must wait untii the din of strife is gone and "tha I deads a.re rolled away." before we can ! rni-asura results.

We under stand now as never before the fiber of your loyalty and the grand integrity of those in stitutions which have exalted and purified our homes, our hamlets, our cities, our states and our republic. Upon bended knees, with uplifted eyes and hands our fathers re ceived them from heaven. You fought to maintain them inviolate, and you did it. "Liberty unsheathed the sword, necessity stained, and victory returned it." We see it! We see it! There is now no North, no South. Mason ! and Dixon's line is forever wiped out! Near i some of the great battle fields of the civil war iron furnaces and cotton factories have I been erected by Northern capital and North- j em men, and the hum of new and increasing : industries fills the ambient air of a new and fraternal South. And what do I see more? At Louisville, those who were once clad in > gray, clasping hands in brotherly affection j with those who were clad in blue. So move we on toward the full fruition! Our superb city is soon to welcome the j Grand Army of the Republic. "I wi!i say to j the South, keep not back, bring my sons from \ far. The North and the South thou hast created them. Taber and Hermon shall re joice in thy name." And so let It be a re joicing that shall gather in the whole land; ! one flag; one constitution; one hope; one dcs- ; tiny! But, gentlemen, this Memorial day will : soon be gone. As you have listened to th 9 j inspiring strains of this splendid Second Mm- . nesota infantry baud, as you have been up born by the sweet harmonies of these hu man voices; as memories of camps and marches; of battles and wounds and vic tories have both stirred and soothed, per haps, there has stolen into your souls the longing of the old hymn: "My willing soul would stay In such a frame as this, And sit and sing herself away To everlasting bliss." No! You are all too young for that. I had better say that there is too much of sterling manhood in your characters to live in mem ories. Decoration day is a mount of vision. We climb it, not only that we may look to ward the West, but toward the East. The rising and advancing suu means Achieving years—centuries, ages—for this Federal Union. Your ranks are thinning, but there is a great army of you yet, and for a generation to come we shall have a strong remnant still with us. We need your experieuces, your clear vision; your hardy resolution; your deciding votes for all that is clean and patriotic. We want to hear your cadence step so firm that the young men and maidens shall sing with noble zeal: "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp, the boys are march ing." When King David was an old man, his de voted people, thinking he needed rest, tried to smooth his way by freeing him from all care. He had enriched the kingdom; he had fought battles and won victories. He was an eld warrior, stiffened by the exposures of camp, and scarred by the blows of enemies. As the world talks he had earned the right to rest. He should take a mellow old age in freedom from all care. But that was not David. He was a king within. He was too grateful for mercies; too conscious that life is a trust (till it burns to the socket) to re lapse into ease. But would it not have been fit and beautiful (so ideal) for the old hero to calmly repose himself and dream out his life on the field of his fame? He was "wearied with affliction." Let him choose his best men and camp with them upon the green pasture and beside the still water, where he watched his flock on Bethlehem's plain. Let him be borne by strong, willing hands up those craggy steeps which gave him a biding place from King Saul! No! There is something in the old man yet! There is the best tvork of hia life yet. Ripe In the experiences of a busy life he did not bury his talents, but gave his time and thought to plan the temple and his means to build it. Oh, thero is grandeur in that spirit, which reaches forth to the thing 3 which are before. Nobility in that nature which stretches out arms and hands into the future. Beautiful is the little child which runs to you with the laugh of trust and love, and rests its dimpled hands confidingly upon your knees. Splendid is the young man in the glow and vigor of hia aspiring purposes. Almost adorable is the beauty of a young woman adorned with mod esty, but resolute and brilliant with brave life. But there is no life this side the gates of glory, so magnificent, so royal, so radiant, as a bright old age, which patiently waits and hopefully works on. "The hoary head is a crown of glory If found in the way of righte ousness." To that period of your life few of you have come. Into lta portals you will soon begin to enter. Keep on building the temple! The temple of a free land! Its pattern was "given to the mount." Its founders saw only the bottom courses, but they toiled on in laying them. Generations came, did their appointed work, and passed on. Above the foundation the massive walls began to rise; upward they have climbed; built of imperish able realities they will rise higher and stand unless undermined and toppled over by sel fishness, gresd, Indolence and corruption. Re member it is the temple of manhood we are commissioned to build; free, but self-sacri ficing manhood, "after the pattern seen In the mount." "My country! 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died! Land of the Pilgrim's pride! From every mountain side Let freedom ring! "Our father's God! to thee, Author of liberty, To thee we sing; Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us Dy thy might, Great God, our King." EXERCISES AT OAKLAND. Hundred* of People Take Pnrt in the Programme. It was after 10 o'clock when the assembly call was sounded by a bugl^at Oakland ceme tery. Immediately the many hundreds of peo plo present gathered at the plot of ground known as Soldiers' Rest- Adjutant C. W. Fisher, of Garfield post, read the orders for the day; and then, under the direction of Henry Hasenwlnkle, the veterans present were divided into squada and given armsful of beautiful flowers with which to decorate the graves of the departed comrades. Pots of pan sies and wreaths made of other flowering plants, as well as loose flowers, were placed on all the soldiers' graves by reverent hands. Sons and daughters of veterans, the latter robed In the national colors, assisted in the placing of the fragrant tributes on the last resting places of departed braves. This work of love completed, all gathered at Soldiers' Rest and Rev. S. W. Dickinson de livered a most touching and impressive prayer. A little girl. Birdie Norquist, recited an ap propriate selection, and then the white cross which marke the plot was decorated by the officers of Garfleld post. As each wreath and bouquet was attached to the cross, the name of Its giver and in whose name it was given waa announced. Prominent among the wreaths was one composed of roses and lilies from ths Women's Relief corps, Garfleld Post No. 5. The wreath was presented by one of the ladles, with the following addresa: "For the unknown dead, in the name of the mourning women of the North, who suffered a double bereavement in that their loved ones died far away from their homes, we place this emblem and bow in resignation, trusting that ths crooked paths may ba made straight. j And to those who suffered in captivity va brfng these tributes in the name of Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty." *A bouquet was presented in the memory of J. R. Sherbrook, first lieutenant Company X, | Fourth Minnesota. Another was attached to I the cross in memory of Capt. D. S. Gibbs, or j the Twenty-ninth Wisconsin. Acker post pre -1 sented a beautiful wreath in honor of Capt. | Acker, who wa9 the first man to fall in the I Civil war from the state of Minnesota. Acker Post Relief corps presented a handsome vase, filled with flowers. A detail of five Sons of Veterans fired three volleys over the graves in the Soldiers' Rest, taps were sounded and the exercises closed with the benediction, pronounced by Rev. S. W. Dickinson. THE DAY AT CALVARY. Rev. Dr. Heflron Delivers a Tribute to the Dead. Closa to 2,000 men, women and children knelt on the greensward and graveled paths surrounding an open-air altar which had been erected in Calvary cemetery, while Rev. Dr. Heffron, of the cathedral, celebrated a mass of requiem for the souls of the departed vet erans who rest in Calvary cemetery. The altar was erected on a slight elevation near the Bishop Cretin memorial chapel, and a canvas awning sheltered the celebrant of the mass and his assistants. The altar was ap propriately dressed for the occasion, -and all the surroundings gave to the celebration a solemn and impressive character. At the conclusion of the mass Dr. Heffron stood on the steps of the Memorial chapel and made a brief address. He said, in part: I It Is a pleasure to assemble here year after year to commemorate the lives of those who died to maintain the liberties of their eoun i try and to honor us. w«ll thos« atlll llvin* who fought in the same noble cause. In our coming together here each year we are say ing to the world and to each other that these men fought a good fight and this honor that we do them we do in common with the entire country- We give an example here to the generation that shall follow us when we too sleep as lowly as these whose graves we decorate with flags and flowers, and we say to this young generation represented here, go when the call shall come, go and fight as they fought, fight well, and, if need be, die, as they died, for liberty and country. So long as patriotism may be aroused, so long shall this ceremony be a fitting one and shall teach your children to fight, to bleed, to die for their country- *nd their flag. "America" was sung by the audience, after which a committee of veterans—Capt. O'Con nor, M. R. Premfergast, William O'Gorman, Nicholas Flynn .and Joseph Smith—with a squad of lads from the Boys' brigade of the Drew school, proceeded to the plat set apart for the soldiers^* A%jat Oakland, potted plants, wreaths Smnd'-Hoose blossoms were placed on the SP-ves-f Sergeant George F.

Fully 3,000 people disregarded the chilly I weather of last evening and went cut to Lake i Como to witness tho first pyrotechnic dis play which has taken place at the popular i resort this season. The crowd began Its exodus lakeward as early as 7 o'clock and for nearly three hours the Como cars were ■ loaded to the rails with men, women and , children. Arrived at the picturesque park many were seen gliding about the smooth surface of the lake, while others promenaded or secured seats on the pavilion and enjoyed the music by Danz's Alilltary band. By 9:30 o'clock the western shore of the lake was I literally black with expectant humanity and | e\ery inch of space tn the large pavilion was j occupied. Fifteen minutes later a beautiful blue rocket shot up seemingiy from the mid dle of the lake and for an hour afterwards the amazed exclamations of the watching crowd were called forth in rapid succession. The first part of the display consisted chiefly of variously colored sky rockets, Roman can dles and large bombs, which exploded '.n the air, sending otft a perfect shower of red, yellow, green and blue stars. The feature of the evening, however, was a number cf large set pieces emblematic of the day just closed There were designs of many kinds, portraying In actual flame.sceces and characters of the civil war, which evoked the most enthusiastic applause A particularly beautiful piece was a reproduc tion of a Grand Army badge, such as is worn by the veterans of today. The vivid blue rib bon stood out in bold relief against the dark ness of the opposite shore,and the bronze fire, representing the pendant star, lit up the sur rounding water. A large horseshoe, studded with differently colored lights, burned out to be succeeded by a_ representation of Niag ara falls and a UniteS States flag of accurate and appropriately cojored fire. The display ended with the simultaneous discharge of a dozen huge bombs, i which scattered their gorgeously colored stars broadcast over the lake, producing a. $cette of remarkable beauty. Extra service Was' at the disposal of the pleasure seekers for their homeward trip, and the rush usually 'Incident to similar occasions was noticeably absent.

The attraction which Mr. Kingsbury will have charge of is "A Woman in Black," which will open the Grand's sea jem in this city on Aug. 30.
