CHECK-swINDLER ARRESTED.
believed to BE II. =. Meyers, of Blue
field, w. Wallis Victims Ministers.

ATLANTIC CITY, y. j., November ~
A man who registered at a local hotei
as J. Barnes, Of New YORK, Tas arrested
to-day. on charge Of horse-stealing, but
the police say he is a bogus-check swim
dler. and the belief, from papers found on
him. is that he is Thomas Seymour
Meyers, Of Bluefeld, w. Va. He was held
under Sl,OO0 bail.
1t was learned that he had tried TO open
an account with the Girard Trust Com
pany, Of Philadelphia, with a worthless
check for $500 endorsed by prominent
divine. A deposit bank-book found on
him strengthens the theory Of the police.
Another book, on the Peoples Bank, OF
West Virginia, shows a deposit OF
$3.50. It is thought that this account is
fictitious.
It is also stated that he victimized the
Bingham Hotel, Of Philadelphia, out Of
big board bill.
1t is said that Meyers, who Is clerical
looking fellow, gained the good graces of
Presbyterian ministers, and induced them
to cash checks for him. He admitted that
he had been fearing arrest for three years.

the flowers that have lain a long while
look pitifully withered and faded, as
though they longed for the darkness of
oblivion. The fresh blossoms nestle their
fair faces into the warm grass and smile
themselves away-cheerfuI offerings to
courage.
And they wander in and out together,
all these human beings, for death brings
all to one level-the living as we'll as the
dead. The proud woman, in her cloak of
reserve, walked to the graves beside the
bowed mother broken in body and soul
by struggles with conquering world.
There are the young with their careless
laughter and the old with their knowledge
of reality. The manned and the halt,
and even the blind-and all with the per-
fume of the flowers in their nostrils, and
the knowledge of grief in their hearts-are
there.
But over all, mingling with the sunshine
and the passing breeze and pervading
everything, is the feeling of gratitude that
such men were buried there. The world
is better because they lived and nature
smiles at their return into her bosom.
1t is hard to realize in the midst of all
this peace and beauty of nature that those
who were buried there were once young
and stalwart, once stood and listened to
the news of their country's trouble, and
casting all asde-future ambitions, hope,
love, home, everything that mortal
holds dear, went bravely forth to
battle, to face death. Not one of US but
has heard the tales of weary marches, of
seepless nights in dread places, of the
death of comrades and heartrending scenes
with loved ones.
And not one of these who returned to
finish their life in peace but brought with
him something to prove his courage.
To most of them it was broken health,
some complaint contracted in the dire ex-
posure. Others had scars, but the kind of
scars that do not disfigure but beautify.
Little wonder is it, then, that a nation
honors them, and their countrymen are
proud to lay offerings upon their last
resting place. 1t is no wonder that loved
ones in great numbers gather about with
loving remembrance. Not a flower is
laid there but blossomed for them, not
breeze sighs over the graves but brings
some message to them. Every beam of
sunshine is more warm on their grass
grown mound, for not one rests there who
is not hero.
The San Francisco call., 1897-05-30

Deplorable as it is that there be men so
careless of their brothers memory in
death, and so needless of that grateful
respect which is due to the battle-slain
patriot from those who live to enjoy the
fruits of his noble sacrifice as to spend in
boisterous sport the day set apart in his
honor, there is a sense of qualification
and dignity to be derived from the as
surance that the rest of US refuse to
make holiday of it. We know it only
as a day on which to do our duty by the
,ad. And it.flls US with peace and the
comforting knowledge of duty well
done to note that 'every grave is fair and
green-none neglected"
Odd Fellows Cemetery has had its
plat filled for some time No less fair is
it than the Preside plat, and it differs
only in that low fence separates it from
the other portions of the cemetery. There
The San Francisco call., 1897-05-30

mourners come to view the place and lay
their gift of flowers on the graves, while
memory softly traces across their faces
lines of grief, longing and bereavement.
The third, and last, the Grand Army
Cemetery, impresses one as the saddest
spot of all. Viewing it from the car lines,
it looks so gloomy that instinctively you
walk slowly and solemnly up to the gate
and pass in with a sigh. There is. tie
same green grass covering mounds of the
same length and breadth and depth, and
one begins to feel that fanciful preciseness
which is the chief horror of death. Here
and there the mourn ers tread softly with
their baskets of blossoms and their tear
stained faces. There are some new
mounds with just few blades of grass
sprnging up into Gods sunlight, and
children strewing blossoms over them,
while the elders look on and weep. And

Cemetery also has a @. A. R. plat in

Besides these two there is Grand Army

comrades are buried.
tits strange experience to view these
places just before the National holiday,
when the friends of the deceased visit the
graves of their beloved, removing all that
does not look beautiful and leaving tears
and loving thoughts to hover about the
tombstone in their absence. UP on the
high hills near to the Preside, where the
winds can sigh at will and wander unmo-
Tested through the dark cypress trees and
then sweep out to sea again, to whisper
to the white-capped waves the story OF
mans mortality, is one silent city. its
white spires gleam in the sunshine and
the dark, even as the deeds of those
whose resting place they mark will shine
fair and white in war and peace as long as
the Nation endures.
> Mound after mound rises in this fair
place, along the avenues bordered by the
gloomy cypress. Flowers are blooming
not radiantly, but softly and modestly, as
though their very natures were in accord
with the place. And every grave is fair
and green-none neglected.
For this is day for solemn duty and
not for festivity. 1t is no holiday, no
gala occasion on which to parade our
finery and babble away the spirit of levity
which constantly lies waiting under our
everyday cloak for special opportunities
to soar. The donning of another cloak
to-day means something else and some
thing greater than a preparation for
pleasure, notwithstanding the several
regretable indications TO the contrary
which appear here and there in announce
ments of games, picnics and sporting
contests to be held amid the ministra-
tons to the hOnored dead and to disturb
the solemn hush which should linger
lovingly and reverently over their graves.
