A Million Cheered the rlarching Vets

CHICAGO, Aug. % For four hours
and half to-day the thinning ranks of
the G. A. II. passed in review before
their leaders and before probably
million spectators, packed in almost
solid masses along the four miles lineof
parade 1t marked the climax of the
thirty fourth annual encampment of
the association of veterans who filled
the pages of history with deeds Of he
roism during the weary years of the
civil war, and was, according to Com
mander-in-C Chief Shaw, the greatest
parade since that day in Washington,
when the hundreds of thousands Of vet
erans, the most powerful army on earth,
marched in review to their final cis-
bandment.
Probably 0,000 members ofthe army
Of veterans took part in the parade.
For exactly four hours and twenty
minutes, most of the time with ranks
almost perfectly aligned, but OCCASION
ally faltering under the burden oftheir
years, they filed past the reviewing
stand on Michigan avenue, saluting as
they marched by General Nelson A.
Miles, Commander-in-Ch Shaw,
General Daniel E. Sickles, General
Joseph E. Wheeler, Mayor Harrison
and the Spanish Minister, Duke D.
ARGOS.
VETS WERE TIRED OUT
Shortly after passing the reviewing
stand the line of march disbanded and
most of the veterans, tired with the
hours of march sought their hotels and
lodging places.
Commander-in-C Chief Shaw remained
standing until the last veteran had
filed by.
"We will never have another parade
like it'' he said, turning to Bishop Fal-
lows. ''The comrades are getting old.
Their years are pressing them closely.
But this one will live in our memories"
The evening was given up entirely
to affairs of social character, the chief
event being an informal reception to

MAGNANIMITY
He Agreed with the Man Who Re-
fused to Stop in the Road
to Let Hlm Pass.

Here is an incident in Washingtcn's
life in my possession, illustrating his
magnanimity, which has never been
given to the general public:
Some years ago, in Monson, Mass, at
a Fourth of July celebration, in re-
sponse to sentiment concerning
George Washington, Rev. Alfred Ely,
d. D.. related the following incident,
of which he was an eyewitness. 1 give
it in his own words:
when a boy 1 resided in West
Springfield, Mass, and worked on q
farm In the autumn of the year 1889
l was engaged with my employer in
gathering q load of eornstalks from
a field not far distant from the Connec-
ticut river. My employer had driven
the loaded team from the lo- and left
me as usual to put up the bars. While
thus occupied / noticed the approach
of four fine horses and a large vehicle.
There was no driver upon the carriage,
but astride the nigh horse Of each span
was young mulatto position. There
were also two outriders and footman.
The vehicle-in which was seated a
gentleman whose striking personal ap-
pearanee impressed me-was called in
those days a chariot. 1t was entirely
unique and unlike anything now in use, /
except its running part. saw the out
riders gallop on in advance Of the char
lot and hold a parley with my employ
ar, who occupied the entire road with /
bis loaded cart. The rOads at that time
we're SO narrow that two teams could
cot pass unless one yielded the way TO
he other- perceived that my en-
'loyer yielded none Of his right to the
-oad. and that the chariot was detained !

inent among those at the street
corner were the efforts of Col.
Marcum and G. P. NJ, Turner. The
former complimented the band
boys on their constancy to a prom
ise given and upon the excellence
of their music, assuring them that
the Muskogee democrats would
never forget, nor the republicans
forgive them.
The band got home on freight
train about 5 o'clock this morning,
somewhat the worse for wear but
decidedly well pleased with their
trip and the reception rendered
them by the Muskogeeites.

the Connecticut river at that time,

the opposite side, and that / might

this was not disappointed. I found
Gen. Washington standing on the bank
of the river, dressed in snuff-colored
surtout with a long lapelled vest of the
same color and material and in small
clothes and boots, and the most majes-
tic and dignified looking man he was
that l ever saw.
While | was gazing upon him, one of
his positions drove up and, dismount-
ing and uncoyering his head, said in the
most deferential manner, and with an
expression of injured dignity:
"'Your excellency, as we were driv-
ing along. little way back, we over

VINITA BAND IN DEMAND
MuskOgee Springs the Price
of Music.

With liberal offer from The
democratic campaign managers al
Muskogee to play at rally hello
there last night, and proposition
of a $75 donation to stay at home
the Vinita brass band yesterday
grew to Importance second only tc
the opposing desires of the con-
testing factions at the Creek me-
tropolis. The story goes thus:
Muskogee's election is being
fought on the issue of municipal
ownership of city franchises. The
republicans want water works,
electric lights, sewerage system,
etc., as bad as do the democrats.
but are opposed to bonding the
town for their construction. This
question, which most every town
must confront at some time early
in its existence, had been consid-
cred sufficient cause for the hottest
campaign ever experienced in that
village.
Yesterday morning Mr.. J. B.
Turner received an earnest ap.
peal from Mr.. West, of Muskogee,
for assistance in securing band
for their rally last night, and, as
duty due true friendship, Mr.,
Turner at once became enthused
and went to work as though bis

pended on the results. The Vinita
boys were rather backward in ac-
cepting his propositions, fearing
to encroach on what might prove
or dangerous ground,
but 5:3O found them on the depot
platform waiting ior the south
bound train-and here the price
went up.
The republicans having already

QUEER TALE OF ARCTIC SEAS.
Ship Icebound for Fifty Years Drifts
Into the Harbor of Coryo,

Ship Icebound for Fifty Years Drifts
Into the Harbor of Corvo.
One of the most curious finds ever
made from the sea was that which
came to the Azores in 1858. The island
of Corvo was then in possession of two
beach-combers, runaway English sail
ors. There came drifting into little
harbor one morning a craft which had
evidently been frozen in the ice for
lifetime, and had lately been released.
1t had come down from Davis strait,
and was an ancient and battered hulk
without masts, bulwarks, or name.
The craft had been a brig, and she was
q Russian. Her hatches were on and
her cabin doors fast, and the hulk was
'buoyant. She had come out of the belly
of an iceberg. She had little cargo.
and that consisted of skins and furs in
prime condition. No papers were found
in her cabin, but it was figured that
she was sealer or trader, carrying n
crew Of ten or twelve, and that she
had been provisioned for year. The
flour found aboard tasted like chalk,
but the beef was perhaps better than
the day it was put on board. She had
been abandoned when frozen in, and
the dark color of the woodwork and
the growth Of moss proved that she had
dlrfted for years. Then she got fast
in the ice, and became part of berg.
The date of a letter found in her fore
castle showed that she had been aban-
doned nearly half century before.
The hulk drifted on to sandy beach,
and the combers went to work on her.
They got out the furs, which brought
them $4,000, hoisted out n couple of
barrels of beef, and then set fire to the
wreck, and little remained of her when
the story leaked out. That the hulk
had come down from the far north was
proved only a few weeks later by the
log of an English merchantmen. She
reported passing great iceberg to the
northwest of the Azores. and Of seeing
curious object embedded in 1t fifty
feet above the surface of the water.
This object was believed to be a whale,
but it was probably the hull Of the
brig. Getting down into the warm seas,
the berg fell to pieces and that queer
old relic found herself afloat again.

begun Merritt was six miles away fac
ing Breckinridge's column. He fol-
lowed Breckenridge into the fight, al
though he knew nothing of the state of
the battle or whether he might not
have to face the whole Confederate
force. He fell upon the line with a
rush, breaking it, driving the cavalry
back through the infantry lines, and,
in the words of Sheridan's report, "sent
the enemy whirling through Winches-
ter" For his service in this battle and
at Fishers Hill, one month later, Mer.
rift became a brevet major general Of
volunteers from Oct. 10; 1864.
In the following spring occurred the
battle of Five Forks, in which Merritt
and Fitzhugh Lee fought on opposite
sides. Some of the tiercest fighting of
the whole war occurred here, and Gen.
Merritt was in the thick of 1t. His
cavalry command distinguished itself
by its gallant work on ground as un-
suitable for the operations Of mounted
troops as any that could we'll be Sc
lected. 1t charged through woods and
earthworks, captured a battery Of ar
tillery and carried everything before It..
Merritt's bravery was again rewarded,
this time by brigadler generalship in
the United States army, dating from
March 13, 1865.
In the days succeeding this conflict,
Merritt's command was In almost daily
collision with the forces of the enemy
down to April 10, when Lee surrender
ed the remnant of his defeated army.
Gen. Merritt was one Of those present
at that memorable conference in Nc
Leans house which marked the practi-
cal end of the attempt to disrupt the
Union. He received the exceptional
honor of brevet major generalship,
u. S. A., "for gallant and meritorious
service during the campaign ending
with the surrender Of the Army OF
Northern Virginia" This was one Of the

and Wilson's divisions dashed forward
in saber charge that swept the Con-
federates off the field and carried the
day for Little Phil, That action made
Merritt brevet lieutenant colonel.
Merritt's fourth distinguished reward
was won in the battle Of Howes' Shop,
seventeen days later. Gregg's division
and the brigades Of Torbert and Mer-
ritt We're opposed by the enemy from a
strongly entrenched position. Mounted
troops could not dislodge them, but the
cavalrymen held their own in the face
of a CALLING fire until Clusters men,
who had been hastily dismounted,
came up with band playing and colors
flying.
The music and the yell which al
ways identified Clusters men was like
an electric shock to u.s." says one Of
Merritt's officers, "and we went for
ward over the Confederate works as
though carried on a wave. The General
was in front among the Johnnies, yell
Ing with the best of us. We were all
delighted when he was brevetted col
onel for his work on this day."
1t was only year from the time
when Merritt was assigned to duty as
line officer with the cavalry Of the
Army Of the Potomac, and already his
gallant and meritorious conduct" had
been rewarded four times from Wash
ington. During the following year he
added three more to his list of brevets.
