Probably never before In the history of
that large organization has such a sue
cessful fest been held either in this or
any other city. The divisions
at Columbia Hall, and under Marshal
Henry Treiber, who is also the President,
marched through all the principal streets
Of Greenyille to the park, where Inner

parts of the park the different divisions
were stationed.

AT sPEER'S CEMETERY.
DR.. Brett Delivers an Grafton Be-
fore Zabriskie Post.

Zabriskie Grand Army Post monopolized
most of the patriotic attention of the resi-
dents of the Bergen section of the heights
Yesterday. The people turned out in masses
and lined the sidewalks along the thorough
fares through which the veterans passed on
their way to Speer's, West Side, Holy Name
and st. Peters Cemeteries, to decorate the
graves of their departed comrades. The
veterans of the post were out in such force
as to almost belle the great g.. A. R. ex-
preston There's only few more left They
numbered ~hfty-eight and were headed by
their band. Wagon loads of children. decor
aved with ribbons of the national colors ac-
companied the vets. It was perhaps due to
the fact that we are again in the midst OF
war that caused the SCARED old fellows to
walk with even a frner tread then usual
Certainly it was due to this fact that greater
homage than usual was paid them as they
marched along.
Past Commander Joseph Loche was mar
shall. AtSpeer's Cemetery the Rev. pr. Brett
delivered an GRAFTON, in the course OF which
he alluded to the thinning out of the ranks OF
the veterans, and said he when
he was a bow the veterans OF the war OF
1912 paraded each year. When first he saw
them there were as many OF them III ms
town as there were members now OF
Zabriskie Post. Gradually they grew fewer
until finally there remained but one car
riage load at their last parade. pr. Brett
also alluded to President Lincoln's famous
expression in his spesch at Gettysburg, that
ours SIS a government of the people, by the
people and for the people"
: .sThis. che said,' is not only true in this
country. but is rapidly becoming true
throughout the world. We are making 1T SO

Military Honors Over the Graves of
the Dead Heroes.

Memorial Day was fittingly observed in
G~reenvine yesterday and all day long a
crowd of people were busy decorat-
ing graves in both the New York Bay

building on Belmont avenue and escorted
by the Sons of Veterans and the Fourth
Company of Boys Brigade along with its
Gun Detachment, marched to he New
York Bay Cemetery. Full uniforms We're
worn and canes were carried by all the
veterans. The sight was one that would
do a person good. to see those old soldiers
marching to decorate the graves OF their
long departed comrades. The line OF
march was Belmont avenue to Bergen, to
Oak street, to Carteret avenue, to Airing
ton avenue to the cemeteries. There the
graves of the dead soldiers and sailors
were embellished with flowers. The ser
vices were simple and at the departure OF
the veterans a salute was fired over the
graves Of the dead heroes.

TROUBLE WITH THE NEW JURY.

The new panel of jurors drawn under
Judge Blair's plan of selecting them at ram
dom from the list of eligibles started in bust
ness this morning. Thirteen of them failed
to respond to their names when Clerk Purs
tell called their names. Some of them may
be dead, others may nave removed from the
CITY. or perhaps it may be that some of them
consider their private business of more inn
portance than jury duty. 1t made no differ
ence today as there was only a civil suit to
be tried, but when the trial Of McGlue for
m~anslaughter comes on next Monday, coun-
sci for the defence may insist upon a service
of the entire panel. In that case the absentees
would have to be hunted up.
