Thinning Ranks of the G.. A. II,

It was a thin, blue line Of heroes
which paraded at Saratoga September
II, in the annual march of the ma
tional encampment of the Grand Army
Of the Republic.
Shoulder to shoulder the war veter
ans have stoo@ even as in war days.
through forty-two years. meeting an
nually to renew old ties and testify to
deathless patriotism. Year by year
the parade of the veterans has been
growing shorter in its line, until now,
when its march past the colors num-
bered fewer than $4,000 men.
1t was the least number that has
ever paraded since the formation of the
G. A. r.
OF the 100000 members OF the order
it is estimated that there are between
$4,000 and $4,000 in Saratoga, but Of
these fully two-thirds were unable to
march the mile laid out for the pa
rade
What this means no one unac-
quainted with Grand Army men can
realize. Heretofore nothing has been
able to keep these plucky veterans from
their places in the line OF march when
the drums rolled out the signal.
But age and infirmity break the
strongest will, and on that September
day from some vantage point along the
way many q brave old soldier looked.
wistfully-and looked his last-upor
his comrades as they toilsomely
marched, a part of a pageant the like
Of which can not be seen anywhere
in the round world except just there, at
G. A. r. parade.
The Grand Army represents about
one-third Of the surviving veterans of
the Civil War Its losses by death and
the failing condition of strength Of Its
members are an index of what is oc-
curing among all the veterans of the
war for the Union.
Possibly we have seen the last Of the
great historic marches OF the G. A. r.
in its national encampment. The
strain upon the men is too great, and
il has long been contemplated to drop
this. the most picturesque and affecting
feature Of the meetings.
1t is probable that very soon the an
nual encampment will be merely a
meeting of delegates In Washington, for
il Is growing more and more hard for
the veterans to travel and endure the
chances Of strange scenes and faces and
circumstances.
There has been nothing moro pa
thetic in history than the gradual dis
appearance of that army of more than
a million citizen soldiers who sprang
TO the call to arms in the early sixties.
The time is soon coming when there
will be not one survivor of the fighting
legions Of those stirring days.
The army of blue is fast answering
the last roll call. The long drawn
notes Of taps" are blown over the
newly made graves Of thousands of
that army every year
Into the silence and the mystery the
heroes go, leaving behind them loving
and grateful people. The boys" Lin
coin loved, the stern fighters of Grant
and Sherman and Sheridan, on. on they
go, to join their old commanders and
their beloved chief.
Peace be with them all And we
who look on-we can only give cheers
for the llvings, tears for the dead

while the President remained at City
Point, the guest Of Admiral Porter, I'M

injury to Secretary Seward when he
was thrown from his carriage In a rum
away accident, he felt that he must go
back to Washington. He had intended
to remain until Lee surrendered.
We reached home Sunday evening,
the 9th. The Presidents carriage met
us at the wharf. There Mr. Lincoln
parted from Captain Penrose he took
the captain by the hand and thanked
him for the manner In which he had
performed his duty. Then he started
for the White House.
The streets were alive with people, all
much excited. There were bonfires ev-
! erywhere. We were all curious to know
what had happened. Tad was so ex-
cited he couldn't keep still. We halted

PLUMBERS PLAN
TO VOID CONTRACT?
Rumor That Certain Master
Builders Favor Com
plete Lockout.

The opinion was expressed in build
ing trades circle last night that a move
ment would be, started this week to
bring a final adjustment of the pend
ing trouble between the master plumb
ers and the journeymen. Just what
card the Building Trades Alliance will
play could not be learned last night
but it was intimated by those on the
inside that it would be in connection
with a statement that Local No. 5,
JOurneymen Plumbers Union. may is
sue In the next few days. The talk
among the jOurneymen plumbers has
been to the effect that as the award
OF the arbitrators has not in their
judgment been carried out by the Mas
ter Plumbers Association as a body
there is no longer any moral obligation
on the part of Local No. to continue the
contract of 1903, which does not expire
until some time in September, 1908. The
termination of this contract on the part
Of the tourneymen would mean a read
justment % the present wage scale and
shop rules. And the effect would be
demand FOR an increase in wages
The Employers Association last night
held an animated meeting behind closed
doors. No statement was given out
According TO talk among certain master
builders, all is not harmony in the
ranks of the Employers Association. IT
is said that the radical element is in
favor of some measure that will force a
lockout on all buildings. with a view of
bringing the Building Trades Alliance
to an acceptance of arbitration OF the
present trouble.

GENIAL CLINT LEIGH WAS
WELL KNOWN IN ELY.

The death of Clint B. Leigh, of the
editorial department of the Salt Lake
Herald, in railway accident at Bing-
ham, Utah, Thursday in which Repre-
sentative Seth Taft was also killed,
was shock to many Salt Lakers in
Ely who knew Mr.. Leigh. G. H. Place
former associate in the newspaper
ranks in Salt Lake, who is now located
here, said of his character:
fMr. Leigh was man of sterling
character and genuine ability He had
the faculty of making friends and
keeping them. In the newspaper pro-
fression he was conservative and
reliable. A man of wide experience
and unusual executive ability, COM
bined with true Southern geniality of
temperament, augmented by the broad
ness of Western ideas, made him to be
admired by his associates and loved by
his friends.
"Mr, Leigh was CONSCIENTIOUS in the
performance of his duty, but never laid
aside the pleasant word and sunshiny
disposition which endeared him to those
who knew him best.

scHMiTZ MAY GET BAIL.
Mayor Has Wide Discretion After
June 27.

A radical change in the executive
branch of San Francisco government
is contingent on developments in the
case of Mayor Schmitz, who is tenn
porarily incapacitated by reason of his
Imprisonment in the county jail.
The date for the passing of sentence
on Mayor Schmitz in the extortion
cases, on which he has been convicted,
has been set for June 81. Prior to
that date he can not possibly procure
bail, according to the decision of Judge
Dunno yesterday, but the law provides
that after the judgment has been
passed. the matter of allowing bail is
discretionary with any magistrate hav-
ing jurisdiction. Consequently, if judg-
