One of the most eloquent and effective
addresses OF the day was delivered by Mr.
F. w. Collins at Admiral Porter's tomb
said:
ut was something to be Greek and
live in the age of Pericles. 1t was some
thing to be Roman and live in the age of
Augustus. 1t was pride-producing to be q
Frenchman at the time of the Napoleonfc
conquests. 1t stirred a Briton's pulse to
live in the age of Wellington. But more
than all these, srander than all these. ia it
a privilege to be American citizen at
this high noon fpf history. True men al
ways admire bfavfr deeds. Those were
brave men who stood with Leonidas in the
T pass of Thermoi,olae and defied the Per
sian hosts. Those we're brave men who
composed the lsgions Of Caesar at Phar-
salia. Brave men, who followed the for
tunes Of Napoleon, fought under his ban
rer in the burning sands of Egypt. amid
fury of Waterloo. Brave men were they
who. under Wellington, crushed the proud
Corsican and drove him into captivity
Brave men who heldsthe decks of Nelson s
ships at Trafalgar and crimsoped the waves
with their blood 1ere victory came. Ave.
these were indubitsbiy brave. But Drawer
men the world never knew than the sol.
diers and sailors of America. 1 mean those
who struggled at Bunker Hill, suffered at
Valley Forge and triumphed at Yorktown.

Appropriate Ceremonies Around Adj
mi:nl POrter's Tomb.
The naval feature of the services at Ar
lington was more interesting and elaborate
this year than usual. Mr. William H
Michael was chairman of the committee In
charge, assisted by Messrs. Marion T. An
derson and Thomas Galloway. The SER
vices took place directly in front of the
mansion, where an awning of large propor-
ton was spread over the driveway and
lawn. A platform had been erected facing
the mansion. and the speakers were seated
and spoke from there instead of the portico
of the mansion, as has been the case here
tofore. A large crayon portrait of Admiral
Dewey was prominent in the center of the
platform, while either side were por-
traits of Admiral Porter and General
Grant. A ship model. rigged as was the
kearsarge when she fought the Alabama
floral monument, dedicated to the lost
sailors of the battle ship Maine, sat oppo-
site the ship.
The services opened sooner than those in
the amphitheater, and it was but few
minutes after II o'clock when the buglers
of the Mount Pleasant Field Band blew
the assembly call. The choir that was ex-
pected was absent and the musical feature
of the program was necessarily curtailed.
After the large assembly had been called
to order Miss Cora Agnes Penfield gave a
recitation, THE Loss CT the Maine" that
aroused much enthusiasm. Ex-Secretary
of the Navy Herbert was introduced and
spoke as follows:

by beating the Merrimac: had captured
Forts jackson and St. Philip; had taken
New Orleans. and practically reopened the
Mississippi, the Cumberland and Tennes-
see, and had prepared the way for the
army to advance into Tennessee and Mis-

these and others gave true devotion, the
good shall remain to be gathered by the
coming citizens OF the republic and thus be
perpetuated through all times. Those who
sleep in this quiet place were just as hope

ncbly done their part. dropped out of the
ranks while others contended on until the
tf'lr gs hoped for were accomplished. We
owe our homage to those who fell in the
conflict, whose unselfish devotion led them
to endure and die. They voluntarily went

Again shed the sad fraternal tear,
Again we hither turn with loving breast,
Again greet them in their hallowed rest.

A grateful nation has proclaimed them great;
Their deeds, their fame, through all time onward

From heights serene. with light undmmed shall
