CIVIL STRIFE FORGOTTEN,
Imposing Dedication of a
Monument to the Con-
federate Dead.
Throughout the East the Graves
Are Decorated With
Flowers.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 30.-Financially
and socially the historic "Mason and
Dixon's line" has been obliterated from
the map of the United States, and in the
leading feature of the Memorial-day cere-
monies here to-day it would seem that
politically, as well, the dead line" laid
down over a generation ago to mark the
territorial division between our slave and
our free territory has been thrown down.
With the dedication to-day in this, one
of the stanchest of the Union cities, in the
heart of the country whence came the
blue-coated warriors who marched from
Atlanta to the sea-" of handsome noun
ment to the lasting memory of those who
wore the gray and fought for the "lost
cause" under the stars and bars, Con-
federate "high-water mark" was estab-
lished far north of that set at Gettysburg
by force of arms; this, too, with the I'M
grudging consent of the stanch Unionists
among whom it was placed. and with the
countenance and assistance of veterans in
blue-foes in arms but friends in peace,
doing honor to an acknowledged valor,
which is now the common heritage of our
common country.
haps the most impressive and imposing
ceremonies among the exercises set down
for Decoration day in any part of the
Union.
At Cottage Grove avenue and Thirty
fifth street, then in the outskirts, but now
in the heart of this city, a stockade was
built during the Civil War and named
Camp Douglass, and there many thou
sands of Confederate prisoners were con-
fined between the years 1862 and 1865. The
men held there under the restraints which
befell captives of war had spent their lives
in the balmy climate of the sunny South
and the rigors of Northern winter told
upon them severely. As a consequence
5000 of them were liberated by death and
buried in lakewood Cemetery at Cottage
Grove avenue and Sixty-seventh street.
1t was to the memory of these 5000 who
had died in a military prison in an
enemy's country that the monument was
| dedicated by their comrades and oppo-
| nents IN arms on the spot where they lie
buried. 1t is the first monument to Con-
| federate dead erected i'll the North, and
the event was perhaps without parallel
| IN history. 1t does not appear that any,
"holo eiSe on Ine lace OF our round
globe, within a period of thirty years
| after the close of a bitterly fought war,
! the vanquished have ever before erected a
monument to the memory of their COM
| rades in arms in the heart of the victors'
territory. Especially has the sight never
been witnessed of the victors heartily Join
ing the vanquished in doing honor to the
valor of the vanquished dead.
This dedication is the outcome of a
movement inaugurated by the Confederate
Association of Chicago. 1t undertook to
raise the necessary funds for the erection
of the monument, and General John c..

Patriotic Sacrament O.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 30.-There
were at least 5000 people in attendance at
the memorial services rendered in honor
of our dead heroes to-day in this place,
and wealth of floral tributes were
donated from the gardens of the Capitol
City to decorate the last resting-place of
those who in bygone years left family,
friends and monetary interests in defense
OF their country.
In no city on the Pacific slope exists a
more intense spirit of patriotism than is
prevalent in Sacramento, as was evinced
by the crowds which, comprised of the
rich and the poor, the lordly banker and
the humble laborer, the descendant of
Northern and Southern factions, to-day
conf ined in one common fraternity to
decorate with earth's richest tributes the
last resting-place of the soldier dead
All day long crowds of citizens joined in
forming an endless procession to and from
the cemetery, and it has been roughly esti-
mated that at least 10000 people visited
Gods acre in this city during the day.
During the afternoon procession headed
by the Second Infantry band, followed by
several companies of infantry, the Uni
formed Rank, Knight of Pythias and Odd
Fellows, who were each decorated with
wreaths of choicest blossoms, tramped to
the tap of muffied drum throughout the
streets of Sacramento, dispensing after the
conclusion of the memorial services. The
parade also included in its ranks a COM
pany of the uniformed Boys Brigade.
The Frem ont Primary School was also
well represented, marched well and pre-
sented a fine appearance, and showed that
they had been carefully drilled-probably
by one of the veterans who mached near
them. Following the Grand Army came a
four-horse carryal containing disabled
veterans who were unable to stand the
march, and following these came carriages
containing the chaplain, orator of the day
Miss Blanche Ficks and Mrs. Dohrman,
the ladies of the relief corps and of the
CIR and Army and a number of carriages
containing citizens.
The address of the occasion was deliv.
cred by Hon. Jud c. Brusie, Sacramento
talented young orator.
The band played number of National
airs, after which Mrs. E. Dohrman gave an
excellent rendition of "Sheridan's Ride. u
The chorus of 100 children from the Sac.
ramento grammar school then sang
America" after which the audience
joined in singing Orally Round the Flag, >
which concluded the exercises.
