WAR MEMORIES
OF A CHAPLAIN
Continued from first page.

November to March, our pioneers built q
rustic chapel that answered it's purpose
admirably. A stockade of pine logs OF
posts formed side walls and gable ends. A
large canvas tent-1y, GO feet by 40 feet
furnished by the Christian Commission,
stretched over ridge-pole and rafters, with
supporting posts, was an appropriate
cover. Spring pole benches provided easy
seats for several hundred persons.
An attractive reading desk, or lectern,
was formed by setting a small tree trunk
into the earthen floor, and surmOunting it
with a cracker-bOX cover, with a rustic
border in fitting forms. Two grapevines
seemed to be climbing this post, as if COM
ing up from the ground, and crossing each
other in their ascent in the form of Gothic
arches. The floor of the chapel was COW
cred with sawdust from neighboring de-
serted sawmill, so as to absorb the moist
ure from the Virginia ground in the rainy
season. A sheet-irOn stove, also from the
Christian Commission, enabled US to warm
it. Arms for candlesticks projected in the
form of a cross from the central support
ing pillars. A picture of President Lin
coin in rustic frame was Oh the central
pillar. Dark-green vines and bOughs
adorned the columns, and also the walls,
while scarlet hOlly-berries showed them
selves in relief among the clustering leaves.
Small pine trees were either side of the
reading desk. Our National colors and our
Connecticut State ensign were stacked be-
hind the pulpit as an appropriate back
ground when the Chaplain conducted SER
vice at it. Across the entire rear end of
the chapel, behind the pulpit, was a wide
shelf for reading matter for the men, and
two rude tables near the shelf with writ
ing materials on them, were for their con-
venience.
In order to give emphasis to the I'M
pOrtance of this regimental chapel as a
place of worship and as a means of good
to officers and men, it was, while yet un-
finished, formally dedicated in an opening
service on the Sunday afternoon of its
first occupancy. The entire regiment was
in attendance. Prominent officers from
other regiments, and many enlisted men,
We're present. Chaplain Janeway, of
Pennsylvania regiment, had a part in the
dedication services. The sermon was from
Kings 6: -: Concerning this house
which thou art in building, if thou wilt
walk in my statutes, and execute my
judgments, and keep all my command
ments to walk in them; then will l per-
form my word with thee" The theme
was: Religion Indispensable Everywhere
especially in the army; and a place for
worship was a reminder of this
This chapel was a great convenience to
our regiment, and it was admired by many
from outside. The Chaplain of a cavalry

New York, Sept. IA large party
returning from the Zion cemetery,
Queens county, to this city. became
involved In a riot, and about two doz.
en- men, women and children were
injured.
The trouble started shortly after the
three trolley cars had left the GENE
terry for Long Island City ferry. The
conductor of one of the cars, finding
it impossible to collect fare from a
passenger, brought the car to a stop.
An argument ensued during which
the conductor was struck on the head
with q loaded cane. He called to the
motorman, while the passengers raj.
lied around their comrade. Employees
from other cars hurried forward and
a fierce fight ensued. Passengers
who were not armed with canes drew
trowels which some had brought from
home to use in the cemetery.
After drawn battle the passengers
resumed their seats and the car pro
ceeded.
The trouble broke out afresh when
Calvary cemetery was reached. This
time the motormen and conductors
were reinforced, and got the better of
the argument.
Finally the cars were boarded again
and reached Long Island City without
trouble. There were a dozen women
in the party who were hysteIical and
had to be treated before they could
resume their journey home. Three
arrests were made.
