Worcester militia men honored Ad-
miral Dewey in Boston yesterday,
Sentiment from Massachusetts heroes

nothing was held in reserve by the
men whose part in the struggle added
Besides paying tribute to the sturdy
Vermonter who sunk Spanish warships
in Manila harbor, there was another bit
of fond memory attached to the visit
of Worcester companies to Boston yes
terday. The flag which furnished in
piration for the charge up San Juan
hill and lulled the din of Santiago bat
ties, was carried for the last time be-
fore being turned over to the state.
The local armory yesterday morning
was like a second edition of war time
Before daylight, members of local mill
tia companies who had rolled in their
blankets upon the drill shed floor for
the night, were active. Battery 3, light
artillery, was the first organization to
begin its days tour of duty. At $50
o'clock the heavy guns and caissons
had been loaded on fiat cars in union
station, and the men had reached the
depot. The train puffed out at once,
and in the freight which followed were
the battery horses and the mounts of

The regimental color company was the
City Guards, Co. A, Capt. e. G. Bar
rett commanding. Sergt w. E. Barton
of Co. c, Light Infantry, carried the
colors.
The Emmets, Co. G, Ninth Massachu-
sets regiment, had their share of reg
mental honor. Co. G was color COM
pany of the Ninth, and Lieut.. ]. E.
McGourty, assistant surgeon, was in
command of the second brigade, hospi-
tai corps.
OF the parade itself, Worcester CONF
panies bore honors. In the handicap
ping for the Ninth regiment, there al
ways seemed an addition to the enthu-
siasm of applause when the Emmets
marched by points where the thou
sands and thousands of spectators as
sembled. The Second regiment was
admired, and cheers always strength
ened for the local companies, for sew
eral thousands Of Worcester citizens
were sprinkled in the surging crowds.
An incident which caused wonder
ment was the fact that barely half
dozen men who went from this city to
march in the pageant in the naval
hero's honor, saw Admiral Dewey
There was no countermarch, and as
the admiral rode at the head of the
peiid ll1S ISN WIZ Sow -
Dewey were those who weakened in
the 10-mile march, and dropped out.
The strength of these unfortunates re-
vived, and there was always vitality
enough to bring the fallen near the
head of the line, where one gaze was
tonic for the tired parader.
Local companies in the Second reach
ed this city shortly after 6 O'Clock, and
ten minutes later, Battery B alighted
from a special in Union station, the
Emmets following, and the tour of duty
which had little of the drudgery Of for
mer tours of duty, was ended.

MERRITT INDIGNANT.
He Thinks He Should Have Carried
the Ninth's CoIors Yesterday,

Edward ]. Merrick Of Charlestown,
the former color-bea of the Ninth
regiment, is indignant because Col.
Donovan appointed another man to
carry the colors in the parade in Bos-
ton yesterday. As Adjt. Gen. Dalton
made a request that they should be
carried by the original bearers. it
seems strange proceeding on the part
of Col Donovan and in the eyes of the
veterans of the Santiago campaign. Mr..
Merrick's position can be viewed only
as an eminently proper one. Color
bearer Merrick, in speaking of the mat
ter, said:
THE national colors were carried by
me all through the Cuban campaign. I
held and waved them on the hills of
Cuba, and witnessed the fall of San
tiago. 1t was a trying position to
hold, going from Siboney, where the
regiment landed, by the firing line. I
performed my duty as all Of the men
Of the regiment know, and 1t was not
until l was taken sick that the colors
ever left me, and then the war was
over. Col. Donovan has not even writ
ten to see If was in condition to turn
over, the colors which were In my pos
session all through the war"

Capt. E. G. Barrett and the City

with the Wellington Rifles apd Light
Infantry, followed. The companies
marched in platoons down Main street,
and turning into Front street, the or
der was column of tours, and at the
lower end of the common, the order
halt was given, The march to the de-
pot from this point was in double time,
and the train was in waiting in the

MES trotted in.

him what meals he got.

A bagga geman, with whom he became
acquainted about the station, he says,

only 10 cents in his pockets. Although
he was hungry, he did not buy food.
