Grand Military 1'iifeant and Street Pit rade. Inipreaxlre Ceremonies at the Cemetery, Sleep, cmiradea, .Ire p. and rent On thla fluid of the Krounilcd arm, Where Inea no more moleat, Nor aenlrlee' aliola alarm. Memoiial day wa ohwtrved-in this city in a manner that properly evinced the love, patriotiim and reverence due the tnomory of the heroea who reaponded to their country' call and who are now aleeping the laat long sleep In the silent cities of the dead. The Memorial sermon was preached on Sunday afternoon at Shlvely'a opera boune by Rev. A. Hillebrand, of St. John's Catholic church, and was atten ded by about 600 people, Meade post No. 2, U. A. It. under whose auspices the services were held, the Woman's Relief Corps and "F" Company, 0. N. O. occupying seata In the center of the ball. The stage waa decorated with bunting and adorned with the pictures of Presi dents Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Harrison, and McKinley, and General Logan. The choir, composed of some of the beet singers of the city under the direc tion of Mrs. J. II. Strickler, with Miss Ora Spangler as organiat, rendered ex cellent music, while the Oceola band, under the leadership of M. W, Randall, enlivened the occaaion with patriotic aira before and after the service. Rev. Hillebrand said at the opening of his address that it might seem queer to some people that a man who was not a a native of this country should be called upon to apeak upon such an oc casion, but aaaured the audience that the same fueling of patriotism and love of country that inspired the boys in blue to deed of heroism and valor had been his every since be came to this land of ours. Love of country and recog nltion of God was the theme of the discourse, (he history of the nations of the past being cited to show that it was useless to establish a government with' out a belief in God. That this was esentially a Christian nation, though no mention of God was made in the con stitution. Love of country prompts us to do whatever will rienetit that country and U shown by a due respect for the rulers of the country and obedience to its laws. Honored the noble men who had put in the contititution the right to worship God as we pleased. Made a strong plea for charity, the greatest of all virtues, and said the Catholic church never raised a voice against the estab lishment of republics and that when the government was In danger of over flow they had fotmht side by side with members of other churches in defence of the Aug. Admonished parents to instill into the minds of their children the love of God and love of country and to teach thera to honor and reverence the men who laid down their lives in defence of the old flag. At the close of the discourse Mrs. J. II. Strickler sang "Junt Before the Battle, Mother," so tenderly and sym pathetically that many of the old soldiers were moved to tears as the memory of thoee stirring scenes of strife in the Nation's great struggle in which as boys they took part came once again before them. The exercises closed with the grand old patrotic hymn, "America", sung lustily by choir and audience. Monday was rather unpropitioua for the exercises of Memorial day, several quite hard showers falling dur ng the march to the cemetery and during the oration by Captain Ormsby. At 9:30 a. ni. the children of St. John's school assembled at Willamette hall with a number of citizens and members of post and corps, where short but appropriate addresses were delivered by Rev. Hillebrand and Judge Gallo way. Capt. Ormsby and Alex Thomson. It was expected that City Superintend ent Holmes would be present with his school and also make an address, but through some over-sight the directors failed to to notify him that Monday was to be a holiday and he knew nothing of the contemplated address until the afternoon of Monday, when of course it was too late. After waiting as long as he could fer an escort, in accordance with the official notice published In the Entkrpmsk of last week, he sent 2 of his pupils to the hall with flowers, un attended. Promptly at 10:30 o'clock the proces sion formed on Main street under direc tion of Chief Marshal Kelly and aids in the following order: Oceola band ; 'F" company, 0. N. G; Meade Post. No. 2, G. A. It j speakers of the day and re presentatives of the relief corps in carriages. When the procession arrive at the Eastham school building the scholars under the direction of Principal McAdam and tha other teachers fell in just in the rear nf Meade Post. On the arrival at the cemetery a hollow square was formed about the plot where the old soldiers were Interred. The services opened with a dirge by the band, followed by the beautiful ritualis tic ceremony of the order conducted by Commander Moore and Adjutant Wil liama with prayer by Key. A. J. Mont gomery and crowning of the moiinment by Officer of the Day Walker, Following the rendilion of the ritualistic reremome the pupils of Eaxthatn school filed by and deposited flowers around the monu ment. Judge Wm. Galloway then delivered an eloquent address on onr "Unknown Dead" and spoke In feeling terms of the sorrow of the father and mother as their loved one went forth to the conflict and never returned. How the soldier offered his life on the altar of bis country and sleeps in some unknown trencb on a Southern batt le field. A nd that on this day when others have the graves of their loved ones to decorate, the sorrow is only the more poignant because of the uncertainty surrounding the fate of their loved one. The address happily blended the memo ries of the rugged past, the Joya of the living present and the hope of the glorious future. The Judge closed with a glowing tribute to the hih apprecia tion in which the Amercan people held the few remaining member of the Grand Army of the Republic. Toe Relief Corps then conducted their impressive service and decorated the monument with garlands and flowers, placing two beautiful wreaths on the top. Capt, 8. B. Ormsby, ex-department com mander of the Grand Army of the Republic for Oregon, was the orator of the day and his address though delivered under difficulties, the rain falling most of the time, was listened to with marked attention by the large audience. Mr. Ormsby traced the history of this country from the founding of James town in 1607 and the settlement of Plymouth in 1620 down through the various epochs and stages of our national life to the present day, showing how the seeds of slavery planted in the southern part of our country in 1620 grew and flourished under the favorable conditions of the Sunny South until it attained such magnitude as to shake a continent and deluge a land in blood. How the champions of human slavery and the champions of freedom fought side by side for more than 70 years, vieing with each other in deeds of valor and heroism on many a hard fought field, until I860 when slavery had assumed such proportions and made so many demands upon the government that in was called upon to stop by a great political party that said to this monster, "thus far shalt thou go and no farther." Defeated in their attempts at peaceful aggression its supporters left the halls of congress, threw down the ganntlet of war and appealed to the abitrament of the sword. He then re ferred eloquently to the hallowed spot in the South and where Moultire lived, where Sumpter fought, where Marion starved and suffered for the cause, where Jaoper fell and died with the lolda of the flag around him, where on that hallowed ground made sacred by all the memories of the past rebellion set up its standard and fired upon the old fliig, and even old glory hanging down over the dismantled and ruined battlements of Sumpter uttered an eloquent though silent protest against the crime of that people. This attack on Fort Sumpter fired the loyal heart of the North and the farmer left his plow, the carpenter hii bench, the blacksmith his forge, etc , and donning the garb of the soldier went to the de fense of the Union. The speaker did not attempt to giye an outline of the con test that followed or tell of the valor, the heroism, the endurance, the constancy, the suffering or the final triumph of the cause of freedom or to depict the long and weary marches through the mud and rain, the lonely bivouac fire, the starved and emaciated skeletons from the Southern prison-pens, the terrible scenes of the hospital and the battle-fielda. the charging squadrons, the roar of cannon, the roll of musketry or the shriek of shell. Mr. Ormsby paid a glowing tribute to the memory and services of the loyal women of the North who labored at home preparing supplies for the sick and wounded at the front and in the hospitals where were laid the suffering forms of the sick and wounded soldiers where she kept her midnight vigils. Honor her devotion, honor her patriotism and emulate her noble example. These great organizations of patriotic and benevolent women in the world today are like so many mighty armies march ing on parallel roads and destined to a common purpose. Stand by your ban ners, you loyal women, tried and true. The Grand army of the Republic was organized in 1866 on the principles of fraternity, charity and loyalty.
