Tribute of Honor.

Chicago, May 31.-In spite of chill
ly wind which swept across Lake Mich
igan and made the weather decidedly
uncomfortable the ceremonies inwhich

The morning hours were set apart for
the decoration of graves by the posts

daughters. This was followed by the
annual parade of the soldiers of 81.
As a tribute to the sailors and sol
diers who died on the sea the sur
vivors of the posts of naval veterans
marched to the edge of the lake at
Grant park, and amid appropriate GER
emonies strewed flowers upon the wat
er. In Oakwoods the resting spots Of
the Confederate soldiers who are buried
In Chicago were not neglected. With
the old soldiers at all the cemeteries
trudged arm-in-arm their wives and the
widows of their former comrades, who
are banded together in the 'Woman's
Relief Corps The Sons and Daughters
of Veterans accompanied their elders
in these real memorial parades.
Other points where the celebrations
were notable were: Washington, where
the ceremonies were at Arlington cem-
etery and the Soldiers Home, and
where Commander-in-Ch Chief Black was
the orator; New York, where Mrs. Mel
lie Sartoris, General Grant, daughter,
put flowers in the crypt Of Grants
tomb and Corporal Tanner was the
orator; Topeka, where Secretary Taft
was the orator; ST. Paul. San Fran
cisco, Cleveland. Duluth, Baltimore,
Boston. Philadelphia-in fact, hardly
town in the country was without its
celebration Of the day.
