THE NATIONS DEBT OF GRATITUDE.


The following is an extract from the Grafton
delivered by Mr.. J. Griffin Hall, of Baltimore,
at the Decoration Day services held at the
National Cemetery, Antietam Battlefield, May
80, 1908:
''While the battle which was fought here,
although considered to be the bloodest one
day fight of the Civil War, will never rank in
historical Importance with the battle of Gettys-
burg, yet in view of the results accomplished
here, and the incidents connected Herewith,
the Antietam battlefield will ever be an object
of true Maryland patriotic pride
while it is true that nearly all the battles
fought during the Civil War were replete with
important incidents and results, yet to my
mind the battles of Gettysburg and Antietam
will ever stand forth in the history of the great
rebellion as two of the most important events
in the final settlement of the great conflict 1t
was here at Antietam, on the 18th of Septem-
Der, 1862 that Lees army was successfully
stopped in its advance into the North, and it
was at Gettysburg in July, 1868, that he was
again defeated and compelled to recross the
Potomac. Had the results of these two bat
ties been different who can tell what the final
outcome might have been? It was also at
Gettysburg that our first martyred President
Lincoln-gave utterance to those immortal
prophetic words The world will little note
nor long remember what we say here, but it
can never forget what they did here 1t was
here on this historic ground where the last of
our martyred Chief Magistrates-William Nc
Kinley-received his first promotion for bra
very. Gettysburg and Antietam Lincoln
and Mckinley! What emotions of patriotism
are awakened by mention of the places and
these patriots? All how we regret the I'M
timely departure of those noble men at the
hands of cOwardly asSassins, but thank God, in
the words of the lamented Garfield, who by a
strange coincident also met death in the same
manner, God reigns and the Government still
lives Still lives Yes, but what a debt of
gratitude we owe to the old veteran, both living
and dead. for it was he who fought and died
that we as nation might live. With grateful
hearts today with the poet we can truthfully
exclaim:
"''Twas not in vain, o noble band,
Your blood imbued Columbia's sod,
United now her children stand
One Flag. one Country and one God.'n

IT WAS lately stated in the daily papers that
because Admiral Dewey was sick his doctors
had ''cut off his grog." While paying his re-
spects to the President on Tuesday the Admiral
said: II have received great number of COM
munications from all parts of the country.
Some of the writers commiserate with me and
others rejoice that have been wrested from
the demon of drink. Some of the temperance
societies are especially glad that have given
up the use of liquor. The fact is, never was
given much to grog, and 1 am suffering no
hardship"

Msssrs Editors Owing to the interest now be-

this country Of the body of Admiral Paul Jones,
which has lately been found in the abandoned

an ancestor Of mine, who, at that time, was the
United States Minister to the Hague-Mr. Will

interest to us in this country because Of the in
tense devotion to the United States, which the
writer shows in his closing lines.

The STRIKE of the Chicago school children,
said to be inspired by their parents. because
non-union teamsters hauled coal to the school
houses, would be ludicrous were itunconnected
with serious side. Tho boys of one school
who refused to attend were not content with
that act, but cut the harness of the non-union
teams, released the horses and broke. the
wagons. Here is Young America learning
anarchy and violence and doubtless encouraged
in so doing by ignorant, passionate parents.
It is such actions that are the worst enemies of
trades unions. They kill public respect. The
whole Chicago strike is a sympathetic one
about twenty discharged men. This is not
sufficient cause for reign of terror and for
schoolboys to be taught lawlessness and
vandalism.

Mans Body Identified The man whose
decomposed remains were found on Wednes-
day of last week concealed in some hay on Mr..
Joseph FriedenWaId's White Hall Manor
Farm, in Worthington Valley, were identified
at the coroner inquest held on Friday night
by Justice Orrick as Joseph Woll, a former en-
ploye of Mr.. Friedenwald, and who left the
latter's employ the first of the present month.
A chest left by the deceased was unlocked by
key found in the dead mans pocket. Sever
al employees on the farm also Unidentified the
man by his hat, his pipe, watch and other
articles.
The deceased was about 80 years of age. He
had worked on the farm about six months.
Mr.. Friedenwald employs great number of
transient laborers who are constantly coming
and going, which accounts for the man not
being missed. The jury of inquest of which
Mr.. Charles A. Councilman was foreman, rem
dered verdict that the man came to his death
from causes unknown to the jury.
When the body was first found it was stated
by the undertaken who buried it that the man
had been dead year or more. Now it is said
he had not been dead month. A singular
thing connected with the affair is said to be
the fact that the revolver found near the body
had two empty chambers and that there were
no empty shells found in the chambers. If
the man had shot himself the empty shells
would have been found in the chamber of the
pistol
