he says, has right to Joy if he rejoices in
good things thereupon he set himself to
sing OF love without stains, of faith and
hope and heroism. 1t was no part of his
philosophy that things visible and audible
could make the happiness of men. He
would have them look higher than the
stars and the sky.

try, Longfeliow said faith In answer to
the problems of his age. his answer was
still faith. 1t is impossible to over estimate
the power Of such teachings" The
sneaker described how in his youth the
poet had been despised and rejected by
his contemporaries, how the term, "a lite
rary lapidary," used by one of his critics,
had stuck to him for years, and how grad
uaily his poems grew in popularity till they
reached the hearts OF the English-speaking
peoples.
This man, who, in his youth, had been
laughed at as a literary lapid ary,' had
come to be the bestowed poet of his age"
Mr.. McNaught concluded his address by
stating that men will never willingly
forget the songs of the singer who sang
OF faith in heaven amid the skepticism of

Done" There was frequent applause
during the remarks on Longfellow, and at
the conclusion the speaker was again very
warmly applauded.

The visit of Brigadier-Ge r. N.
Batchelder, quartermaster-general of the
United States army, and Major George
w. Davis, military secretary of Daniel s.
Lamont, Secretary OF War, excites special
interest in military circles of this depart

however, his military secretary, Major

condition of the leading military posts.

department, visited the Presidio, and made

pearing rifles. They also examined the
stable site and the site of the fill on the
marsh living between the roadway to the
wharf and the eastern boundary to the
reservation.
A special study of the water plant was
made. The officers visited Mountain Lake
and Lobos Creek and considered the prop
oSltlon 10 tunnel the PreSldlO hill for the
purpose'of developing an unlimited sup
ply of water for the post-a supply equal
to all the requirements OF a very large gar
rison.
A visit was paid to Alcatraz island and
there the prison, the barracks, the fortifi-
cations and quarters were inspected.
Angel Island was inspected and the pos
sibility of future improvement discussed.
The quartermsster-genera seemed de-
lighted with the improvements made at
the Presidio. He has authorized an ex-
penditure out of the appropriation of the
next fiscal year to build TWO more double
brick barrack buildings, at cost not to
exceed $4,000.
The water supply question engrossed
the attention of General Batchelder in a
large degree. In the process of collecting
data in TINS line he visited the artesian
we'll and works at Golden Gate Park and
noted the supply of water there.

tended to the Sutro baths, and the ma

SUPERB MILITARY DISPLAY.

The idea of Memorial day which General
John a. Logan had In mind when the sub
lect was first brought TO the attention of
Congress is in fair way of fulfllment. He
believed that the time would come when
a IL citizens, without regard to section,
society or pursuit, would in time observe
the day In paving tribute to the memory
of the dead. Now it is the custom of many
families, societies and organizations wholly
outside OF Grand Army circles to revere
the holiday and to accept the occasion as
one fitting for the bestowal of memorial
tributes.
This universal observance of the day is
regarded with special favor by veterans of
the Union army, and many express the
hope that in time every State and COM
1nunity in the Union will honor the
custom.
In San Francisco to-day the League of
the Cross Cadets will act as escort to the
Grand Army, but the cadets will not for
get to decorate the graves of their own
comrades. A solemn requiem high mass
will be celebrated this morning at st.
Mary's Cathedral, Van Ness avenue, for
the repose OF the souls of all deceased
mem bers of the League of the Cross
Cadets. The celebrant at the mass will be

Oil who would stand where hostile weapons gleam
Where campfire gows and destinies cast,
Or tread that misty bridge which spans the stream
That sweeps between and the tragic past
To see the glare of crimson the sky,
Or hear the woods resound again with c1amrou battle
cry?
Would'st view the heaps of mangled flesh,
Where rise the smothered of in pain?
Would'st see the wounds of martyrs bleed afresh,
And red-mouthed trenches gaping for the slain;
The shivered saber and the crushed cuirass,
The hoof-hailed grain the riven earth the powder
blackened grass?
No rather seek consecrated court,
Where surpliced choir, with organs solemn note,
Chant requiems for the dead; or boys in sport
Peer down the cannons dark and rusty throat;
Where scents of roses drench the summer air
On ruined moat and black and yellow tiger-es flare;
Or find the rent redoubt, where ivy creeps
O'er shattered shell and broken bayonet;
Planting its leafy standard the steps,
To win the grim, dismantled parapet;
Making conquest the less complete
Than when the savage slope pressed with wounded
weary feet.
The past has left its heritage of hate
To souls still grievng for the dead adored,
But who would the dial-hand of Fate
To cancel legacies golden stored;
Or the ranks from fratricida1 field
To place again the blot of bondage on a Nations
shield? SAM DAVIS.

gasus is the most popular design this
season. These denms are known as the
art denims and cost 45 cents a yard.
In decorating country houses they may
be used in a variety of ways. DenimS
may take the place of wall paper in many
rooms, and as carpet 1t Is much to be
desired. 1t will wear much better than a
filling and makes an excellent back
ground for rugs. For portieres it is al

Some of the new denim table cloths
are things of beauty. The art denims
only come yard wide, and, as the ordi-
nary dining room table cloth is generally
three or four yards wide, it is necessary
to have the strips of denim sewed togeth-
er. One table cloth seen recently was
made of yellow denim. The four yards
which were used were fastened
together by yellow satin ribbon
embroidered in conventional de-
sign, with heavy black silk floss.
In each corner Pegasus in black, was
embroidered and the cloth was finished
with a denim frill bound with narrow
black satin ribbon.
Piazza sofa cushions in denim are seen
in many new designs. Sage green and
delft blue cushions are the most popular.
Many have an embroidered design work
ed upon them or some appropriate quota

In the way of wearing apparel denim
is useful in making clothespin aprons,
