valor, the example of the heroic oead from
the foundation of the government
from the establishment of civilization upon
these shores. Upon the graves of all these
patriotic dead, wherever they may lie, is
placed the tribute of homage and our af-
lection.
Since last Memorial day. according to
General Ruggles, eighty-two names have
been stricken by death from the rolls of
the local Soldiers Home. Three veterans
had service in the Florida war. one Of
these in the Mexican war and sixteen
others in the Mexican war. of whom five
served also in the civil war, while twenty
six more served in the civil war. three in
the Spanish-American war and nearly all
the rest in Indian wars. OF them all. fifty
one lie within this Enclosure where the
exercises were in progress. Happy and Sc
cure is the resting place Of the soldier or
sailor within a national cemetery, the
speaker said. National cemeteries do not
disappear; our beneficent government does
not forget: the graves of its dead are kept
green forever
Through all the centuries beyond u.s."
concluded General Ruggles. 1.-The soldiers
yet unborn, coming from north. from
south, from east, from west coming to
wear the uniform, coming inspired by the
examples of their predecessors, coming in
legions to love. to honor to defend the
flag. and to carry into continued execu-
ton for all time that high resolve. enun-
coin, that government of the people. by
the people, for the people. shall not perish
from the EARTH"
Closing Exercises.
That Gen. Ruggles is held in high esteem
by the veterans was shown by the way
they applauded his remarks. With another
musical selection and closing prayer by
Rev. Father Hannah. chaplain of the
Home, the exercises at the cemetery were
ended. The procession reformed and
marched to the home grounds. where at
