ice in the Philippines. He was captain
of the Zouaves until they disbanded.
AS member of Seneca G. Simmons
Post. No. 116, Grand Army of the Re-
public. Captain Swartz was actively
engaged in the post work and never
let Memorial Day service go by with
out attending and participating in the
ceremonies. AS the remnants of the
Boys In Blue marched over the city
streets the person who was recognized
first of all was Captain SwartZ.
One of the events he wished to par
ticipate in was the fiftieth anniversary
of the grand review in Washington in
'65. which was celebrated by the vet
Grams in Washington during Septem-
ber, this year. 1t was also the forty
ninth annual encampment OF the
Grand Army men. Captain SwartZ
left this city with members of Posts
5S, 116 and $50 and paraded in full
uniform over the old route in Wash
ington for the last time.
Tonight at the regular meeting of
the School Board resolutions of regret
will be introduced on his death. which
is felt keenly by the many directors
and teachers of the city schools.
Handled the Toughest Customers
The most incorrigible boy who
played truant was not too hard prob
Gus instances in which he overcame
the most unruly of youngsters were
spoken of to-day.
His method of getting the boys back
to school was unique, in way, but
brought results. Kindness, a genial
smile and a good nature conquered in
most cases. and to the surprise of the
teachers and parents the youngsters
trudged off to school daily after the
Captain had seen them.
Captain Swartz is survived by one
daughter. Miss Sarah II. Swartz.
Funeral services will be held Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home,
the Rev. J. Bradley Markward. pastor
of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, off,
ciating. Burial will be made in the
East Harrisburg Cemetery.
Visited "OId Crony" Daily
Captain Swartz in his daily rounds
over the city for truants never forgot
to visit his friend. John r. Ensminger
at Second and Chestnut streets. Mr..
Ensminger, also a veteran of the war,
served in the sam eregiment with Cap
tain Swartz and was a lieutenant in
Company A, One Hundred and Twenty
seventh Regiment.
Mr.. Ensminger. in speaking this
morning of his friend, said: HE never
missed me once in his daily trips.
Many time the Captain would stop
in and talk about the war. Yes, we
ser-'ed in the same regiment with Cap
talked together often about the bat
ties
When bit of the past history of
Harrisburg was wanted, probably the
first one to be asked was Captain
Swartz, his memory of past events
proving valuable in many instances.

England Does Not Give
Ready Ear to Peace Talk

London. Nov. % (correspondence
of the Associated Press) Speculation
about the possibility of peace, talk
that seems to come from Switzerland,
Rome, Madrid or America, always
vague and usually negative, strikes
no audibly responsive chord in London.
The more the fortunes of war ap-
pear to turn against the allies, the less
the British seem inclined to listen with
patience to any suggestion that peace
can come through other means than
military achievement.

New York, Dec. 3.-Col. Roosevelt
and Judge Alton B. Parker are in ac-
cord with respect to Henry Ford and
his peace mission. The Colonel said
so himself yesterday. When asked to
express himself regarding Mr.. Ford's
project ito get the boys out of the
trenches" the Colonel said:
1T is rarely that ! find myself in
agreement with Mr.. Alton b. Parker,
but in this case l do agree with him
most thoroughly. Mr.. Ford's visit to
Europe will not be mischievous only
because it is so ridiculous. 1t is a
most discreditable thing for this
country"

Fought at Fredericksburg

One of the battles in which Captain
Swartz was engaged was at Fredericks-
burg, in 1863. When a memorial his
tory of the One Hundred and Twenty
seventh Regiment was compiled Cap
tain Swartz was called upon to write
an account of the battle at Fredericks-
burg, which he did. The account is
several pages long, containing an ac-
curate story of the work of his regi-
ment.
Soon after the close of the war Cap
tain Swartz entered the employ of the
Pennsylvania Railroad as a carpenter
in the, shops. He remained in their
employ until 1889, after which he kept
a small shop. doing work on personal
contracts. He first entered into school
work in 1890, when he was elected a
member of the School Board. He held
office for ten years, retiring in 1899.
Shortly afterward the compulsory at
tendance law went into effect AS
Captain Swartz was so we'll known.
and also knew the majority of people
in the city, the School Board decided
to give him the position of truant
officer Until a few weeks ago he con-
tinued his work hunting up the boys
who preferred the streets 20 the
schoolroom.

pills of St. Joseph High School.

Now the bright morning-star, Days har-
binger,
Comes dancing from the East, and leads
with her
The howery May, who from her green
lap throws
The yellow cowslip and the pale primrose.
Hail bounteous May that dO'st inspire
Mirth and youth and warm desire!
Woods and groves are of thy dressing;
Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.
Thus we salute thee with our early song,
And welcome thee, and wish thee long.

The above play was given by the
pupils of the St. Joseph High School
on Monday, May 10th, on the Court
Square in st. Joseph at $3.50 p. m.
From the tiniest lass to the tallest
lad each part was crowned with sue
cess, and showed a united effort on
the part of teachers and pupils,
which is most creditable.
On the lawn of the Court Square
between the lovely branches of the
bOx-elders stood a pavilion, erected
for this occasion. This pavilion, with
its arches twined with flowers, its
walls of evergreen, and its throne
crowned with arches Of garlands and
lights, was truly a work of art, and
reflected much credit upon those
under whose plan and efforts it
was executed. The verdant branches
forming Natures canopy to this fair
bower, whispered messages of love
and intererest from her whose hands
directed their growth. On this wood
land stage fitted the tiny white
Butterflies and pale green Moths,
whose little feet kept step t.. the
music, whose little bodies posed in
graceful figures around the May Pole,
and finally wove their ribbons of
white and green, and carried their
baskets filled with pink sweet peas.
These were the guests for the May
Queens coronation.
Through the audience slowly
wound the Royal Cortege. First
came the Heralds, in black satin
and gold lace, who announced the
approach of the Queen. Then fol-
lowed the Knights, in maroon and
green. Next, Spring, in pale green
tulle, edged with sprays of white
jasemine, holding by the hand the
tiny Raindrop in white and crystal.
Next Rosy Summer, with rOse-pink
gown edged with pink roses, lead
ing by her side the fairy-like Sun
beam, and carrying the sceptre OF
jewels and flowers for the Queen.
Autumn followed, in yellow edged
with red berries and golden leaves,
carrying her gift of grain and fruit.
hand in hand with the elf-like
Breeze. Winter in frosty white held
her Evergreen, and by her side was
the fair little Snowdrop. Next came
Aurora with measured step, draped
in the azure tints of the Morning,
and on her hair rested Days Har-
binger. A little page in blue and
white followed Aurora, bearing a
pillow Of white satin, on which re-
posed crown of daisies. The grace.
full Queen now approached. She
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1915-05-14

wore robe Of lace and ivory satin
bordered with daisies, and from her
shoulders fell the court train of yell
low satin edged with daisies. This
train was held by two pages.
The choosing Of this young lady
as Queen evidences the love and es-
TEEN with which she ia regarded by
her school mates, as she attained
this place of honor by vote of the
High School. Nor was their conf
dence misplaced. The manner in
which she held her sceptred sway,
and the graciousness with which
she wore her majesty, left nothing
to he desired.
At the steps of the throne the
procession halted, and the Queen
was crowned by Aurora in a most
beautiful ceremony, after which the
Seasons presented their gifts with
appropriate words. The little But
terflies and Moths then made their
obesience, and the Lilies presented
their gifts of flowers. The gracious
Queen, in her sweet and impressive
manner, issued her mandates to her
loyal subjects.
Then the Heralds announced the
coming of the Nations to pay their
tribute to the Queen, and one by
one passed before Her Majesty the
twelve nations, wearing the dress OF
their country and bearing their flags,
each leaving at her feet its national
flower. Their costumes were perfect
in every detail, and spoke eloquent
ly the patience and skill of those
tireless co-workers, the Mothers.
From the back of the throne,
vending her way through the at
PENDANTS, unannOunced, came Lib
erty, in graceful robes of white,
bearing aloft her torch which en-
lightens the world" She bowed low
before the Queen, and proceeding
toward the Nations, in clear and
ringing tones, offered the Laurel
Crown to the nation that most
truly seemed her own" Then was
heard from the lips of its represent
alive each nations plea for the
wreath, but all went sadly away,
save Columbia, on whose brow was
placed the Laurel Crown, while the
nations joined in singing "Ameri-
Ca" The part of Liberty was played
by one whose daily life is guided
by the very principles which she
tried to instill. As she uttered her
words of courage or admonition, it
was as though they came from within
herself. born of her own experience
the desire to excel in all things.
These foreign friends made q vari-
colOred picture, as. with measured
tread, they passed in review before =
the Court of the May Queen, and
lost themselves in the shades of the
night, and were seen no more.
A never-to- e-forgotten tableau-
vivant closed this most fantastic
festival. With silken ribbons of
green and white attached to brace
lets worn by the Queen, the Moths
and Butterflies led her through the
mazes of the grove.
And thus ended this Spring Fes-
tival! /.
'O'er the smooth enameled green
Where no print of step hath been,
Follow me as sing
And touch the warbled string:
Under the shady roof
OF branching elms star proof
Follow me.
l will bring you where she sits,
Clad In splendor as BELTS
Her deity.
