SERMON To VETERANS
OF WAR WITH SPAIN
Memorial Services. at the Assembly
Presbyterian Church.

The Rev George P. Wilson, psstoraef
the Assemblys Presbyterian Church.
preached stirring sermon on Ameri-
can patriotism to the Spanish War

The service is held yearly in memory
of the American dead who were killed
in battle. At 1880 the seven commands
of the District of Columbia corps.
Spanish War Veterans, assembled in
their hall on E Street and marched in
a body to Assembly's Church under com
mand of Frederick S. Hodgson, corps
commander. The Rev. W B. Horn
chaplain of the local command. opened
the services with prayer. The roll OF
the dead was then called
DR.. Wilson spoke of the great work
accomplished by the United States since
the Spanish war in lettering the world.
He said in part:
THE real glory of America lies not
in that war. but in the fact that she
presided at the birth OF nation. The
United States did not free Cuba in order
to prepare the way for her incorpora
ton into our political system. Kmeri-
cas- purpose was TO make Cuba honestly
free. Cuba was to be permitted to work
out her own destiny.
In this same spirit, the nation labors
now In the Philippines, among all the
various tribes and peoples there. When
they are capable of liberty, then will
America see that they obtain it.

SALUTE OF THE FLAG
BY SCHOOL CHILDREN
@. A. R. Will Provide Many Speak

On Flag Day, at 1870 o'clock, Is, 000
children of the public schools of Wash
ington will rise and salute the American
flag. Flag Day this year will be cele-
bratcd on Monday. the 18th of June, in
stead of on the 14th, the real anniver-
sary of the adoption of the Stars and
Stripes, which is sunday.
Superintendent A. 7. Stuart says there
will be no regular holiday in the schools,
and the work of the pupils will continue
on the 18th to 1880, as usual, when the
noon recess begins. The afternoon
hours, however, win be devoted to pa
triotic exercises The Board of Educa-
ton has given the Grand Army of the
Republic permission to make out a list
of speakers from its ranks, who will de-

schools on the 18th This has been done
for the past two years. Such large
number of speakers is required that the

rest of the exercises depends upon the
teachers of the different schools, and
viii probably comprise recitations and
songs by the pupils.
The public schools of Washington
have celebrated the anniversary of the
adoption of the American flag for nearly
ten years, but it is only in the past
two years that the G. A R. has been
SO intimately connected with the school
celebration One year the Sons of the
American Revolution gave each pupil in
the schools miniature American flag
to use on the occasion. This year, how
ever, the pupils are expected to pro
vide their own flags. Every school room
in Washington is provided with at least
one American flag. Besides these there
will be hundreds of other flags dis
played about the schools.

LAST RITES OVER BODY
OF FATHER S. J. RYAN
Cardinal Oficiates at Funeral of
Distinguished Clergyman.

The funeral of the Rev. Stanislaus f.
Ryan. late pastor of Immaculate Con
ception Church of this city took place
this morning at 10 o'clock. Prior TO the
regular service the Office of the dead
was chanted by large body of priests
present in the sanctuary. Solemn high
mass was sung by the Rev. James
O'Brien. pastor of st. Peters Church
with the Rev. Thomas S. Lee of st.
Matthews as deacon, and the Rev. w.
Caughy, of ST. Stephens as subdeacon.
The Rev Thomas ]. Kervick, pastor of
the Church of the Holy Name, acted as
master of ceremonies His eminence
Cardinal Gibbons, occupied a conspicu-
Gus place in the sanctuary. Interment
was made at Mount Olivet Cemetery.
Since the death of Father Ryan last
Friday. the body has lain IN state and
hundreds of friends of the dead priest
have filed past the bier. The high re-
gard in which Father Ryan was held.
not only by his parishioners, but by the
local Catholic world, was manifest to-
day when the church proved inadequate
to accommodate all those who wished to
attend the ceremonies. Carriages lined
the streets leading TO the church, and a
continuous line of people wendell its
way to the doorway and blocked the ad-
joining streets.
In addition to his eminence, Cardinal
Gibbons, there was an unusually large
attendance of priests, every church in
this city and many in Baltimore and
the surrounding counties being repre-
sented. All the societies connected with
the Immaculate Conception Church, and
in which Father Ryan took an active
| interest up to the time of his DEATH at
tended the funeral in body.
Grief for the loss of their beloved
pastor was manifest in every face in

Engineers Death.

Sudden death has claimed another fla
nous engineer, Jackson Adams. the old
est locomotive driver on the Western
Pennsylvania Railroad. He had Just
finished a run and was looking over the
machine he loved so we'll. when he spun
around and dropped upon the platform
Several persons fastened to him, but
before they arrived he died IAN engi-
neer's DEATH said an old railroad man.
who stood regarding the body. In har-
ness 10 the last, and then going away
before he had any thought of trouble
1t is a fact, and no wonder, when one
stops to consider the nerve-wracking
calling they follow, that more than so
per cent OF railroad engineers die of
heart disease, apoplexy, paralysis, and
similar diseases. The constant vibra-
ton Of the locomotives, the strain of
continual watching, and the vast
amount of travelling without proper rest
brings on the diseases.
I'VE figure that the average engf-
neer,' said a local railroad officer to-
day, lives about fifty years There are
exceptions, as in the case of Adams,
who lived and retained his engine until
nearly sixty-fve Such cases, however.
are very rare. If a man lives, and is in
good health at that age, the railroad
officers retire him. believing that he has
lost his steadines of eye and nerves II
the man has had a long and honorable
record, and refuses to retire he is given
some unimportant freight run. Very
often it happens that an old engineer,
retired in this fashion, will pine away
and die if he is not allowed some kind
of an engine.
I've feel that the engineer is the most
important man among all Of the me-
chanics on a railroad and he is one of
the best paid. Few get less than 500 a
month, which is little enough for one
who has daily the lives of hundreds Of
people in his charge. He is chosen with
the greatest care. First he is compelled
to serve long apprenticeship in the
shops and yards. Then. If sober and re-
liable, he is made a fireman. All rail-
roads usually keep him in this place two
or three years. Then, If he continues to
show himself to be fitted for the place he
is promoted to engineer, and is given a
locomotive ON freight run. Here he is
carefully watched and by his intelligence,
his ability to run his train night and day
under all kinds of stress of weather, and
care of his locomotive, he can win the
coveted passenger engine in two or three
years Some men never do win one and
others by some unusual display of brav-
cry, or ability, do so in a few months.
THE average man, however, never has
charge of throttle on big train until
he has been at work on an engine for
about six years. Usually he has been en-
ployed around the yards or shops four Or
five more years prior to this.
About twenty years ends his useful
mess, if he is still alive. as an engineer
on the important runs. BY that time his
nerves are gone, and his sight is i'm
paired 10 such an extent that he is down
and out
