Memorial Day IN Chicago was like moth
ing il tie history of nations. 1t sent in
the same line the victor and the vanquish-
ed, each with garlands for its own army
of dead, with the uncounted thousands
from the heart of the city TO Oakwoods
cheering for the memory of heroes, of
friend or foe. 1t was the first time since
the first shot that warriors from the
North and cavaliers from the South for
got entirely revengeful bitterness by such
n kind of public demonstration of unity
1t marked an epoch. The multitudes heard
upon the same winds plaudits for the men
who died for their country and the yell
which led the hardest and bravcst enemy
that ever faced fire. They stood with
barred heads in the presence of COCO
graves Of victims of their own Douglas
prison or shouted in salvos of patriotism
at the sight of the thinned ranks hunting
the humble mounds marked by a flag.
It was this unique feature that brought
to the city a crowd which barely found
standing room in the stretch of territory
dedicated to the ceremony.

two mighty armies which for four long
years faced each other in bloody strife

field of peace, as the c0rtege OF the dead
Secretary of State fled in through the
gates into the cemetery.
1t was remarkably fitting climax to
the remarkable ceremonies which had
just closed that the remains of the man
who claimed the allegiance of both the
North and the South should be deposited
there, the keystone to the arch of re-ce-
mented friendship whose visible sign had
just been unveiled there. For as soldier
he had won the respect of those who
fought him; rs jurist he had gained the
love of the common people. and as Secre-
tary of State in Democratic administra-
ton he had commanded the support of the
people or the South as we'll as of the
North.
The special funeral train arrived from
Washington in the afternoon. The process
sion was formed, headed By the escort Of
honor. consisting of the troops of all arms
from Fort Sheridan. These were follow
cd by the honorary pall-bearers, and next
came the funeral car with the active pail
bearers walking on either side. Next rode
the members of the late Secretary's family
and the Presidential party, and in the rear
OF the cortege brought up the members
OF the Loyal Legion. G.. \. II. veterans,
judges of the courts. State and municipal
officers, civic societies and citizens. The
entire line Of march was crowded with
people who respectfully barred their heads
as the cortoge passed. Arriving at this
cemetery chapel. the casket was removed
from the funeral car and borne within by
eight sergeants OF marines.
The services conducted by the Rev. S.
J. Mcpherson, Of the Second Presby terrain
Church, were impressive but simple, con-
sisting merely of scripturai readings.
There was hymn by the choir and
prayer. The remains were temporarily
deposited in the receiving vault of tho
cemetery. No salute was fired, the cere-
monies concluded with TAPS" The
train had been held and the Presidential
party returned to it and at once started
on tho return trip to Washington.

shadow of the monument just dedicated
in honor of the valor of those who had
given their lives for the Confederate
cause.
1t was most remarkable juxtapoStion.
In the early hours of the day Federals
and Confederates had joined in the unveil-
ing of monument to the 5000 Confed-
crates who had died in the military prison
at Camp Douglas; the ex-Confedcrate
Association had strewn on the graves Of
the Union soldiers buried there 4 mass Of
flowers brought from the ground over
which they had fought less than genera
ton ago, and the Union veterans had plac-
cd upon the graves of their fallen COM
rades in the other cemeteries about the
city the flowers which grow in our own
latitude. Almost the echoes of the volley
fred over the Confederate burying ground
by the first regiment of State militia and
of the bugle blare could be heard and
taps" were still sounding, and the smoke
from their rifles was still floating over the

pledged anew their faith in a common
country and a common flag beside the
pallid shaft which marks the eternal
camping ground of fallen soldiers who
pinned and died beside the great Northern
lake, brave and accomplishing victims
of merciless civil war. 1t was Il scene
long to be remembered, and may be re-
garded as the final epitaph upon the tomb
of sectional strife and sectional estrange-
ment.
At Cottage Grove avenue and Thirty
fifth street, ther. at the outskirts, but now
in the heart of this city, q stockade was
built during the civil war and named
Camp Douglas, and there many thousands
of Confederate prisoners were confined be-
tween the years 1862 and 1865. The men
held there under the restraints which be-
fall captives of war had spent their lives
In the balmy climate of the sunny South
and the rigors of a Northern winter told
upon them severely. AS consequence
5000 of them were liberated b. death and
were buried in Oakwoods cemetery at
Cottage Grove avenue and Sixty-seventh
street. 1t was to the memory of these
thousands who died in military prison
in an enemys country that the monument
was dedicated by their comrades and OPP
ponents in arms on the spot where they
lie buried. II is the first monument to
Confederate dead erected in the North,
the event was perhaps without a parallel
in history. 1t does not appear that any
where else on the face OF our round globe
within a period of thirty years after the
