SAILING THE SEAS.
Another Gallant Crew on the
Waves,

WhVCb,
A merry party sailed via the Shady
Brook line to Enterprise yesterday
afternoon. They started at o'clock
and made the eastward voyage in 70
minutes. Base ball and a lunch at
Hoifman's grove occupied them until
6 o'clock when they returned. Ad-
miral Oscar Sterl was in command;
Captain Henry Suffer on the bridge.
The boat owners said it was the
noisiest crowd yet aboard, and farm
ers along the river came running to
the bank to see who was in trouble.
Those timid spirits who backed out
are very sorry for it. First Mate j.
H. Smith and wife chaperoned the
party and the following able seamen
and seawomen comprised the crew.
Misses Case, Suffer, Della Brown,
Malott, Davidson, Gorden, Waters,

Addresses by George R. Allen and ".

Soldiers Graves Decorated in the
Morning.

Memorial day was one of dust,
heat, and high winds but that did not
prevent Abilene giving due recogni-
tion to the memory Of the veterans Of
the nations armies.
In the morning a procession was
formed in the following order and
under the leadership Of j. Schopp as
marshal marched to the cemetery:
Pleiser's Military Band
Fire Department.
Modern Woodmen Camp.
A. 0. U. W, Lodge,
Abilene Post G. A. r.
Abilene Corps, W, R.C,
Citizens
At the cemetery the following order
was observed:
Decoration of graves
Assemble at the mound.
Song.
Address by Post Commander.
Prayer by the Chaplain.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address,
song-"America."
Benediction.
At 2:SO p. m. the following service
were given in the opera house which
was about two thirds filled:
Music.
Prayer,
Grafton. .,,,..........'.,." III II. Alien
Song.
Grafton. ........ ....... ...". W. A. Keve
song-"America."
The music was by quartette COM
posed of Messrs. Lewis, Malott,
Broughton and Smith and was ap-
preciated.
The address by G. R. Allen was a
strong one. He showed how the day
was designed as tribute to the de-
tenders of the nation. Referring to
the Spanish war be held that modern
heroes are not the equals Of those Of
lS6l.5. He said:
"The exploits Of our soldiers and
sailors in the past year have COM
PEELED the admiration Of all people.
Sometimes | think that in the busy
present we are tempted to consider
the achievements OF Roosevelt,
Schley, Dewey and their brave fol-
lowers unequalled. Grand and glori-

Riders at San Juan hill last July, yet
grander and more glorious was the

mac to carry the heights at
Fredericksburg, where for hours
column succeeding column hurled its
self at the stone wall that marked the
crest. And for matchless audacity Of
courage, FL Caney and Caloocan must
give way to Missionary Ridge where
review was turned into battle, and
battle into victory, and the great
leader OF the Union armies, at whose
tomb thousands are today paying
homage, won the most picturesque
victory Of the century. We rightful-
ly glory in the triumph of Admiral
Dewey at Manila bay, but we may
forget that on an August morning in
ga, as a subordinate officer in Farra-
quits fleet he sailed into Mobile bay.
On that occasion the Union fleet Of
wooden ships threaded channel lined
with torpedoes, controlled by bat
teries on either shore, to encounter
and destroy rebel iron clad fleet Of
equal strength"
The second address was by W. A.
Keve and was appropriate to the day.
Both speakers received abundant ap-

clerk.
"My name" answered Brooks, sis

This will explain why when Rivers
turned up at that window about p. m.
with postal order for $25 he was
promptly seized by two athletic police
men and kept in captivity until he had
succeeded in establishing his identity
by nearly 40 unimpeachable witnesses,
a proceeding that required all the rest
of the afternoon.
At the hour of going to press Brooks
was still keeping out of Rivers way,
but the two athletic policemen are be-
