FLOWERS FOR THE DEAD

A grateful people will tomorrow honor
those who died in the struggle to save
this country from destruction and those
who participated in that struggle and
have passed away since their valor and
sacrifice brought that struggle to d sue
cessful issue. Those who passed through
the dark days of that struggle and who
lost a friend or relative in some one OF
its many fierce contests will decorate
the graves of their fallen heroes with
fragrant flowers upon which their tears
of devotion will glisten like the early
morning dew.
To the younger generation that has
sprung up since Lee delivered up his
| sword to Grant in the shade of the old
| Apponattox Court House 1t will be a
day of recreation and general merry
making. The first attraction of the morn
ing will be the Memorial Day parade.
4 This will embrace many new features
this year and promises to be the best of
i its kind Jersey City has ever seen. Its
most novel feature, perhaps. will be the
| first appearance of the Naval Reserve
/ on the streets of Jersey City. The people
| have heard much of this new branch of
| the States service but have never had
an opportunity before of judging by ac-
| tual sight what they are. The men have
| kept strictly to their ship, where they
i have been working hard during the win
1 ter to perfect themselves in seamanship.
| The entire Battalion of the East, which
comprises the crew of the U. S. S. Ports
| mouth, will parade as a complete naval
/ brigade. There will be the Newark di-
| vision parading as infantry, the Hoboken
| or Engineer division and the jersey City
| division as light artillery with two
j hoWitzers besides signal and pioneer
corps. There is nothing gaudy or snowy
! about the Reserves. They were organized
| for business not parade, and the uni
| form they will wear tomorrow is lex
| ceedingly plain. 1t consists of buff
| leggingS white trousers white blouse,
/ with the open rolling collar of the sailor
with broad black neckerchief and white
/ lanyard and the blue worsted watch cap.
/ The infantrymen will carry rifles and
/ the others will be armed with cutlasses
/ and reyolyers.
The Dandy Fourth will of course be
out in all its glory. According to the
/ regulations of the regular service the
soldiers will lead the procession, fol-
/ lowed by the sailors. The Fourth is toe
| to create any doubts as to the appear
i ance it will make on parade. 1t is one of
the best regiments in the State and the
men always give good account of
| themselves.
/ Chief of Police Murphy completed the
| police arrangements for tonorrow's par
ade this afternoon. Unless something
goes wrong the Chief says the police Will
make an unusually fine showing At
nine o'clock the reserve members of the
| department will be assembled at Wasn-
