The Street Parade.

AS usual the exercises of the day were
opened with a parade of the civil war
veterans, National Guardsmen and veterans
of the Spanish-American war. The pro-
cession was composed of a small but gal
liant band of men, truly inspired by the oc-
casion as they made creditable display.
The line formed on the north side of
Pennsylvania avenue the right resting on
10Th street and moved promptly over the
following route: Fifteenth street north to
Pennsylvania avenue, west to Jackson
place north to H street, east to 18th street.
south to Pennsylvania avenue thence west
to 1871 street to B street, where they board
ed electric cars for Arlington. The Marine
Band, which usually forms an attractive
feature of the Memorial day parade, was
at Gettysburg today, and Its place in the
line here was taken by the United States
Navy ard Band, which rendered hne
marching music and proved good substi-
tute.
A detachment of mounted police headed
the line, which was composed as follows:

FOR NEW POLICE COURT.
Ground Acquired by Condemnation for
Addition to Site

Addition to Site.
The plot of land now occupied by the
old Daniel Webster Law Building on D
street between 9th and 9th streets north
west, will be condemned as the additional
site for the proposed new Police Court
building. This action has been decided upon
by the Commissioners after careful inves-
tigation into the prices of land surrounding
the present Police Court structure.
The Webster Law Building adjoins the
prccant Police Court on the east and the
property Is under the control of Mr.. ]. II.
FAINT. The latter part of last week Mr..
FAINT informed Commissioner Bddle that
the least he would take for the property
was $4,000, and for the west half of the
lot. SOS, 600. According to the District rec
ords, the fair market value of this prop
erty Is placed at $35,410. The last District
appropriation bill carries an item of S3S. 600
for the purchase of additional ground for a
site for the new Police Court building and
for the preparation of plans for the struc-
ture.
The prices of land offered to the District
on both the north and east sides of the
present Police Court, were not satisfactory,
and the Commissioners decided to institute
condemnation proceedings against the prop
erty occupied by the Webster Law building
1t is also stated that it seems more de-
sirable to acquire the property mentioned
by means of condemnation proceedings, be-
cause of certain legal compiled lions in
Volved.
The structure to be condemned is one of
the old landmarks III Washington. Daniel
Webster had his law offices in this building
and from one of the second story windows,
he made his last public address in the ma
tional ptal.

kindred and also those who were strangers
in acquaintance and blood should pass by
all the graves of the world, and, stopping
at those billowy heaps which covered the
dead soldiers of the republic, set the flag
at the head and the flowers on the bosom
of the sleepers In the answer to this
question, he said is to be found the reason
for Memorial day. 1t is because these men
periled all for the right; because, turning
from every avoeation and allurement OF
life and from all that was gay and at
tractive, they went down into the valley OF
the shadow "and paused not until their
feet were In the cold waters of Jordan.
He said it was because they were actuated
to the supreme sacrifice by their love for
the land which bore them, or under whose
institutions they had taken, their stand;
that it was because they were actuated by
the highest sense Of duty, endured the IA

THE FLORAL OFFERINGS.
Washington's Population Visits tho
Cities of the Dead.

Washington was a practically deserted
city the best part of today. Thousanos
paid tribute to the memory of the departeo
heroes. carrying armfuls of flowers TO tne
ouiet cities of the dead on the outskirts OK
the city. The muff1ed roll of the drums
was heard during the morning, and stras-
Cling lines of old veterans of the repubiie
were to be seen vending their way 10 inc
cemeteries with solemn. Wrlnkleu lacess
each slim procession headed by the national
emblem, its bright colors softened by great
streamers of black.
MANY business places closed for the day,
but not the florists, whose doors were wide
onan and inviting Even on the street cor
ners there were flowers for sale. and those
who had grown none for themselves or had
not the money to purchase expensive ones
bought big punches of daisies from the
little lad who had come IN from the country
to turn a penny.
1t is pretty safe TO say that every panq
in town was out today. But none seemed
to fit the occasion so exactly as the small
gatherings of buglers and drummers met
with here and there. There was no undue
gayety The crowds of little lads who al
ways follow band through the streets did
not indulge in their usual whistling ana
hilarity. but they. too, walked along In 81
lence.
The city was generally decorated. Tho
stars and stripes were displayed from thou
sands of homes, and many business build
ings down town put them out in profusion-
Together with every other flag in the land.
those of Washington told of the nations
honor and respect for her sons that are
gone from her forever.
The activity of the morning-bands and
soldiery marching to and fro, and others
in a hurry to leave-gave place to quiet
ness and a feeling of desertion by noon.
What places of business had been open
closed their doors then, and in their vicin-
ity only stragglers were to be seen on the
streets.
When the dusk of the evening begins to
fall the people will return, and tomorrow
they will take up again the duties of life.
When another Memorial day comes around
they will again lay aside these pursuits ana
perform the duty due the dead.
Nowhere can the good that has come
from the brave deeds of this nations heroes
be better appreciated than in Washington.
and nowhere are the dead more sincerely
recognized or more readily honored on
Memorial day.
