There arc both ferYor and eloquenee in the fol-
lowing editorial description from the Examiner
The dead encampmentn was supposed to be
the scene Of the i0ral offering of the Ladies'
Hollywood Memorial Association, more es-
peGialy, and thither, Ginning the steep grAyelly T
hill, the greater portion Of the multitude first
difeafed their steps. The sight of this opening
period Of the ceremonies was grand. Spread out
In r5sw Was the vast expanse Of gFaves--the army
il repose awaiting the decoration Of love and
genegation, the wreath Of honor. This was the
poor priTates' encampment, and they slept in
hnmBle graves, but they were not to be forgotten.
Around and among the graves were the thousands /
gathered to scatter the tributes.
The grateful breeze blew lightly in the oaks |
sighng through the branches as though in sympa- /
thy with the scene. Each grave received three or
more nfferings- sometimes wreath a bouquet and
O sprig-- and woman hand was the busiest in the
distribution. Many tear fell yesterday in that
dead encamDlnent, though they fell unseen and
They were Me tears Of women, who have tear
for ail, and the tears of surviving comrades who,
in their distribution, came upon the graves of com
rades who fought at their side. But though most
0f the distributors were strangers to the dead
willie living, bond of sympathy stronger than
that OF brothers made them friends on this memo
rial occasion.
And can we bepermitted to indulge inthe pleas
ing hope that the army Of disembodied spirits, to
whose Wondering forms the thousands did honor
yesterday, were witnesses to the touching rites paid
BY heliying To The dead that their spirits hoyeIng

of Stuart, Morgan, Ashby, and the host of them
