OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY
An Event of Unusual Interest for the
Celebration i'm Raleigh.

The Tenth of May-Memorial Day
is day of holy memories. 1t
was on this day that the most daring
of the South's great leaders, stone
wall Jackson died. 1t is therefore
fitting that il should be observed as
proper time for loving hands and
tender hearts to unite in paying trib-
ute of tears and flowers to those who
fell fighting for the same great and
just cause.
a beautiful custom this is, which
has been observed so many years by
the people of the South, in comment
Grafton of the heroic lives that went
out in storm. II is right that they
should. in sunshine or in shadow,
reverently and silently, lay flowers
upon the breasts of the true, showing.
that though dead they are not for
gotten, though overcome. they are not
dishonored. This beautiful custom
has reverently and solemnly, always
been observed in Raleigh.
This year the exercises promise to
be of unusual interest as that gifted
orator, General Theodore F. Davidson,
will deliver an address on the Life
and Military Services of General Rob-
ert Il. Vance, of Buncombe. The eX-
ercises will begin at Metropolitan
hall at four o'clock, to be continued
at the cemetery.
Public School Children.
The public school children will take
part in the Memorial Day exercises
and will constitute one of the pref
tiest features of the occasion. 1t is
hoped that all parents will encour-
age their children to attend-and
bring their Offering of flowers. Dixie
and other patriotic airs will be sung
by the children.
ic n WIN
have flowers to spare will send them
to Colonel Kenan's office, where a
committee of ladies will receive them
and take them to the cemetery. A
great many flowers are required in or
der that each hero may have his Of
fering on Memorial day.
Aid With Contributions.
The friends of the Confederate vet
Grams throughout the city, who have
SO kindly promised contributions for
the lunch on May 10th, are requested
to send their contributions to the
Capitol square, where the lunch will
be served, or to Mr. A. b. Stronach's
dry goods store, as near 1 o'clock as

lie will respond literally to this lunch
for the veterans. Such edibles as
ham, sandwiches, chickens. bread
cakes. pies, fruit, lemon and sugar,
are desired.
The members of the Ladies Me-
mortal Association, the Daughters of
the Confederacy and all who feel in
terested are requested 10 meet in the
Capitol square. where the lunch for
the veterans will be served, at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning.

PANAMA

Here the oceans twain have waitet
All the ages to'be mated
Waited long and waited vainly,
Though the script was written plain
1y:
"This, the portal Of the sea,
Opes for. him who holds the key;
Here the empire of the earth
Waits in patience for it's birth
But the Spanish monarch, dimly
Seeing little, answered Srimly;
North and South the land is Spain s
AS God gave it, it remains.
He who seeks to break the tie,
By mine honor, he shall die!''
So the centuries rolled on,
And the gift Of great Colon,
Like a spendthrifts heritage,
Dwindled slowly, age by age,
Till the flag of red and gold
Fell from hands unnerved and old,
And the granite-pillared gate
Waited still the key of fate.
Who shall hold that magic key
But the child of Destiny,
IN whose veins has mingled long
All the best blood of the strong.
He who takes his place by grace
OF no single tribe or race.
Z
But by many rich bequest
From the bravest and the best
Sentinel of duty here
Must he guard a hemisphere
Let the Old World keep its ways,
Naught to him it's blame or praise;
Naught it's greed, or hate, or fear;
For all swords be sheathed. here.
Yea, the gateway shall be free
Unto all, from sea to sea;
And no fratricidal slaughter
Shall defle it's sacred water;
But-the hand that oped the gate
shall forever hold the key!

The Savannah morning news., 1904-05-01

a gentleman then living in Denver, who
devoted much time to the exploration
Of new mountains and strange locali-
ties in and about this neighborhood.
In 1882 this gentleman, a Mr.. Hal
lett, visited the sDot entirely alone. In
trying to ascend the north side of the
Ice field he suddenly broke through
the bridge of a hidden crevasse, but
by extending his elbows he managed
to extricate himself from his perilous
position, and returned in safety to his
camp. This incident, finally led him
to wonder whether this might not be
glacier. In 1886 and 1887 Mr.. Hallett,
in company with an experienced noun
taineer who was as familiar with the
Alps as with the Rockies, twice visited
the spot. Upon the first Of these eX-
petitions, after a. careful examination,
the true nature of this vast eXpanse
Of snow and ice was for the first time
positively determined. Here. in the
heart Of Colorado, existed q true gla-
cier, showing crevasses, moraines-in
short, all the characteristics of the well
known Alpine glaciers of Switzerland.
To this was given the name it now
bears, "Hallett gacier," in honor of
the man who, in such a startling way,
made the first real discovery.
