direction of representative Catholic
clergy. Thirteen coaches, making up
special Colorado & Southern train,
loaded TO the guard rails pulled out of
The Union depot at 2;30- o'clock in the

A solemn parade was formed at the
cemetery, and the entire party, head
ed by five priests, marched through the
city of the dead After the flowers had
been deposited, Rev. Father Brandt of
St JoseDh's church delivered an ad

colade when brothers drew the fratri-
cidaI blade, or closed undaunted eyes
beneath the Cuban or Philippine skies"

Callahan, Burnett and McAlliter. The

Logan Avenue Chapel was filed with
an imposing array Of Knights of St
John, in full regalia, on Wednesday
morning, May 30, at the $50 Mass The
services were under the auspices Of st.
Joseph's commandery. Rev. Father
Casey preached the sermon and said
in part:
Our country today makes her an
nUal cOmmemoration of her fallen he
roes, which IS he outcome of her af-
fection and gratitude. In the care of
the living she has not forgotten the
dead, and so she goes year after year
10 their places of silence and deep rest
to drop a tear over their departed
worth and bewail the fate which so
abruptly stopped their short but mril |
liant career. She can never allow them !
TO depart from her memory. They were |
indeedsons Of a noble mother and they |
loved her with an unstinted love.
The report of the first gun that |
sent cannon balls crashing against |
Fort Sumpter fired their inmost souls. |
No sooner had they heard of our brave |
sailors fate in the haTbor of Havana !
han their hearts dictated what should |
be done And this time a united coun-
try proved to the world that our fair /
name would always be sustained at the
cost OF life. We Christians when we
speak of our country do not mean only
the love Of the soil, the love of the race
TO which we belong, but our love en-
braces the gospel tidings that their
message of peace has been preached in
our ears. This image OF our country,
behold how majestically and fearlessly |
she stands out on her high pedestal be-
fore the nations Of the earth. The ty
rants IN the distance their eyes from
her sslendof are overcome with fear
The oppressed of every nation see in
her a vision of future deliverance. The
manacle of the slave is lying among
the flowers at her feet. Around her
are clustered seventy-five millions of
faithful and devoted subjects all equal
in her sight, none greater than an
other. except the aristocracy of genius,
learning and virtue are recognized"
