delivered the address. OF which the fol-
lowing is a synopsis:
1t is said that when one of Napoleon's
brave soldiers fell dead that he ordered
that his name should not be stricken
from the roll, and that whenever the
roll was called, soldier detailed for the
purpose, should step forward and respond
to the name of the fallen hero, Died on
the field of honor So on these recurring
anniversaries we step forward and re-
spond for those whose voices in their
graves are silent: Died on the field OF
honor
I'VE are gathered here today to Go
honor TO our fallen soldiers To spread
flowers on their graves and plant our
national ensign On the tomb of each
sleeping hero.
we do well thus to remember and
honor them, for this is only in accordance
with the unive rsal feeling of humanity
There has always been sentiment in
the heart of manhind to do honor TO its
heroes, especially 10 those who have
made heroic efforts for the protection of
the nation in its days Of danger.
The first Decoration day that history
mentions was observed in Greece. Aris-
tides the Just. stood up III the Grecian
senate and mo- ed that Upon a certain day
the whole people should go out to the
battle fields and do honor to their national
heroes.
'Tericles, the most eloquent orator of
Greece. was the orator. The people en-
masse turned out and the old heroes OF
Marathon, Salamis and Plataea were
honored with speeches, songs and flowers
strewn on their graves, just as we today
honor Our dead.
But all nations have sought thus to
honor its military heroes by building Tor
them enduring monuments
France has built its grandest mausol-
cum to its greatest soldier, Napoleon
England has not forgotten to rear proud
monuments for Wellington and Nelson.

Tribute to the South.

/
Suppose our gallant gray-coated an
! tagonists do also honor the memory of
their dead! It is but natural that they
should do so. The men whose graves
they deck were their comrades and
their friends. However misguided they
may have been when they aimed their
heavy blows at the flag of their coun-
try, we should be proud to remember
that in the cause for which they
fought they displayed a magnificent
courage, the thought of which sends
thrill of admiration to every true
American heart. They were defeated
in that struggle upon which they
staked their all, and thousands upon
thousands of those nearest and dear
est to them were swept into untimely
graves. The south, as well as the
north, was filled with widows and or
phans and gcay-haired mothers sor-
rowing for the loved and the lost
Tt is not to be expected or desired
that the people of that region should
stifie the tenderest emotions of the
heart and forget the loved ones of old.
Nor need we grow resentful when oc-
casionally some EXTREMIST among
them INDUCES in little glorification
of the lost cause and magnifies the
fighting qualities of the boys in gray''
at the expense of the "boys in blue"
When some ex-confederate intimates
that one southern soldier was equal to
four from the north, we should ascribe
IL simply to the exhuberance of his i'm
agination or to his propensity for
bragadocio.
Everyone familiar with the opera
tons of the war knows perfectly well
that in actual field service there was
no such disproportion- The Confeder-
ates were fighting a defensive war
with every advantage of position, and
not unfrequently they were able to
concentrate larger force at a given
period than we could. The task which
lay before US was the overthrow of
the confederacy. 1t had to be con-
CURED inch by inch. Hence every
drawn battle was registered as a Con-
federate triumph. When flushed with
the partial victories of Manassas and
Charlottesville, the greatest of-tteir
chieftains, Robert z. Lee, attempted
to carry the war into the uoreh, he
speedily learned the vast difference
between invading a country and de-
tending one. At Antietam he met with
a bloody reverse while at Gettysburg
where the forces were Just about
equal. the star of his glory cams very
near setting forever

man knows that could th6E full

Seville, May 3O-The Duke of Orleans
has so far recovered from the injuries
which he received while out hunting as
to be able to leave here today for Gibrai-

expected the marriage of his sister, Prin-
cess Helene of Orleans, to the Duke of
Aosta, nephew of the king of Italy will
take place on or about June 8.

At the City Cemetery.

While no formal exercises were held at
the city cemetery, many visited the
place and decorated last resting places
of the dead. Music was furnished in
connection with these simple rites and
the soldiers and others who lie buried
there were not forgotten. Some of the
floral offerings were very beautiful.

Amusements in Plenty Were Pro-

The water being too cold yet, there was
little bathing, but the patrons of both
resorts enjoyed a pleasant day.

THOSE persons who say that
silver will go up to $l.Oo per
ounce as soon as the government
agrees to stamp every ounce as a
dollar should explain why ii has
decreased so much in price dur
ing the last 20 years. Look at
the diagram on the front page OF
Part Second OF this paper and
see how the coinage of the last
2Oyears compareswith the earlier
years of our history. Look at
the large square 10 the diagram
and explain why such a vast
coinage would not keep up the
price since 1878 if the small coin
age represented by the small
square was sufficient to keep up
the price before 1873. We know
that silver has fallen since 1873,
and it ought to be plain to every
reader that it is the increased
production that has cheapened

just before o'clock tonight
the news reached the village that
a girl baby had been born at
Gray Gables. This report was
soon verified by DIR. Bryant, who
announced shat the happy event
occurred at 4 30 p. m. and that
both mother and little one were
doing as we'll as could be ex-
pected. This is the third child
to be born into the Presidents

Ruth is four years old and Esther
two. Only a passing glance
could be obtained from the Presi-

satisfaction on the face of the

an open secret that a boy baby
would not have been unwelcome.

OK the front page of the other
sheet OF tins paper Will be found
several diagrams that will help to
fix some facts in the minds OF
those who desire to study the
silver question. The first wide
space is supposed to represent
so years, or from the beginning
of the government down to 1873
and the small square represents
the silver coined during that
period. The large square across
the black line represents the
amount we find coined in 1873.
Study this carefully. remember.

say that silver has been cut out
since 1873.
