WITH TWO PARADES.
brooklyn Vets Dissatisfied with
Their Assigned Position.

"Old Glory" was thrown to the breezes
lie buildings in Brooklyn this morning,
and citizens followed by displaying
bunting from their housetops and win
dows, and at s o'clock 1t would have
been hard to find street in the city
where the nations starry banner could
not be seen.
Brooklyn had arranged for the cele-
bration of Memorial Day on an elab-
crate scale. The principal feature, of
course. was the parade, although
long programme of services, excursions,
sports and amusements was planned.
For the first time since the war dissen-
sion crept into the ranks of the old
veterans, and there were two parades
this morning instead of one.
The City Hall was the first scene
of interest. At $40 o'clock the
War Veterans Brigade formed there
for parade, separate and apart
from the one provided for by the Me-
mortal Day Committee of the Grand
Army.
The "Old Vets" did not consider that
they had been treated fairly in being
assigned position in the rear of all the
Grand Army posts, and next to the Sons
of Veterans and civic societies. When
they found they could not better them
selves they decided to parade alone.
1t was shortly after o'clock when
Grand Marshal 7; NJ. X; Mil gave the
the following order:

The contention between the brothers.
North and South was practically though
not officially, ended twenty-nlne years
ago this day, and Memorial Day calls
forth no bitter feelings In the hearts or
the veterans of either side now. The
day Is celebrated in nearly every state
in the Union, and In many places the
veterans in blue march shoulder to
shoulder with the veterans in gray, anu
strew flowers over the graves or their
dead comrades In arms together.
The American people set apart an an
nual holiday for the purpose OF publicly
honoring the Nations fallen heroes
twenty.eight years ago, and In the
eighty National cemeteries, where more
grave will be sighted to-day.
Origin of the Day.
The custom originated in the South,
though ity originator was the Yankee"
professor, Andrew Washburn. OF Massa-
chusetts, then In charge OF Richmond
school. He and his assistants visited
Belle Isle and planted flowers on the
graves OF the Union soldiers there on
Nay 80, 1866. The flowers were furnished
BY the colored and white pupils OF the
