AT THE CEMETERY.
Eloquent Tribute to the Dead and
the Living.

Oakland cemetery was the rendezvous
for an enormous gathering. The large
number Of ladies was very striking. A
stand had been erected for those par
ticipating in the exercises, and was sit
uatad on knoll, surrounded by over
hanging oak trees clad in all the beauty
natmc can bestow. Around the stand
clustered the, great thrOng of humanity.
Near at hand, to be seen by all, was a
large cross, loaded down with flowers
and wreaths, dedicated to "The I'm
known 1t was the object of all.
Women silently Wept before it, and
strong men bowed their uncovered
heads. The exercises opened with dirge
by the Great Western band and prayer
by Rev. F. o. Holman. General orders
were read by j. II. Drake. and vocal
music rendered by a male qnartette,
under the leadership of d. F. Colville.
Miss Leonora Austin recited "The Sec
ond Grand Review" in her usual fin
ished way. Thereupon came the ora
ton by Hon. James III. Howe, who was
a colonel of the Wisconsin volunteers,
and is now counsel for the Omaha in St.
Paul. Mr.. Howe delivered all eloquent
and scholarly address, the leading
points of which are noted:
The graves are thick about as. Under each
little mound there is mouldering into dust
the body of man, who died-not for him
self-but for his country. Millions of men
and women have to-day left their homes,

men whose names even have no personal
significance but to q very few, and whose
only record is name upon muster roll
that is Aever seen, or upon humble stone at
a grave, which is seldom seen: Because
these muster rolls and marbles are the records
of sacrifices.
History has no record of any sacrifice more
sublime than that of the dead Of the ToluIl-

MINNESOTA TO THE FRONT.
The Greatest and Bioodiest Battle
Of the War.

Of the War.
Any reference to Memorial day, and
the heroes Of the war, cannot fail to
bring up something Of the role played
by the Minnesota troops in that great
tragic drama. Take the battle of Gettys-
burg, which Col. Fox regards as not
only the most decisive, but the greatest
battle of the war. In this battle the
First Minnesota, in proportion to the
number engaged, sustained the heayi-
est loss of any regiment in any other
battle. Its heroic act on the second
day was undoubtedly a greater factor
in giving victory to the Union arms
than was the repulse of Pickett on the
third, for had it not met and checked
the advance of Wilcox. all would have
been last. The regiment went forward
with 962 officers and men, and SO were
killed and 174 wounded. twenty-five
of the wounded died, which makes its
percentage more than ga percentage
OF killed uneqnaled in military statistics.
The percentage in both killed and
wounded was 81.

Home Made Christmas Gifts.

As the holiday season approaches the ques-
tion with many people of limited means and

THE OLDEST OFFICIAL.
Colonel r. e. Boothby Holds This Po-
sition on the Maine Central.
Industrial Journal


The first thing necessary If you are to
travel by railroad is ticket. Then let us
go and see the general ticket agent. Your
Maine Central ticket always bears the fac
smile signature Of f. K. Boothby. general
ticket agent. You feel acquainted with that
great gentleman, through familiarity with
his name and his position. So he gives us
some interesting information In regard to the
duties of his department. Let us mentio n
here that Colonel f. Z. Boothby Is the Oldest
official on the Maine Central, in point OF
years of service. He has held his present
position since the early days Of the company,
and has had large responsibility in the f.
nancial MANAGEMENT of the road. He makes
all the passenger tariff rates between stations
on his road. causes all the necessary tickets
to be printed and issued to station agents in
quantity and variety to suit each locality.
Did you ever think what an immense variety
of tickets 1t requires to supply $50 miles Of
railroad. You can go to any station and
purchase ticket from that station to any
other station on the line, and to all the prin-
cipal stations on connecting roads. This
would require more than 10000 different
kinds Of tickets for the regular business, to
say nothing OF excursions, special rates. etc.
Every station agent must render monthly
account of all tickets sold and money re-
ceieved therefor to the central office. These
accounts are systematized. and the tickets,
after being used and taken up by the cOnduc-
tor, are also returned to the same office.
Every ticket must be examined and the set
tling agents account checked up for it. The
ticket sold may represent the fare paid over
two or more lines of railroad. Then each
road Is credited with its proportional part,
according to the rate established by the COM
panies represented This brings in a system
of debit and credit accounts between many
different railroads as individual customers,
which accounts are balanced monthly and
the difference settled by payment or by car
rying over to the next month. A little
thought will enable the reader to form an
idea of the amount of clerical work necessa-
ry in this department, and the absolute cor
rectness that must be maintained.

date the balance is on the credit side, and has
steadily increased. Col }. f. Bates, super
intendent of the free delivery system. has
recommended to Gen. Clarkson the extension
of the service to all places which have pop
