STREET PARADE IN THE AFTERNOON Graves of Fallen Heroes laterally ' Hidden -With. Flowers Tie Saletc For the Dead. Sadly anfl reverently trie people of Port land placed over the jjraves of all her BOldler dead yesterday bountiful tributes of beautiful flowers. Nor were the deco rations confined to soldier dead. Nearly every grave In tho large cemeteries near and In the city were the recipients of some token. Great masses of roses, fragrant and rich as ever adorned a tropical gar den, were heaped on the mounda of earth until the cemeteries were transformed Into brilliant gardens. Decoration of graves was not- carried on by any organized movement. That Is, the main work was not included under such a head. Every family with an empty chair formed itself into a tommlttee and visited the Eilent home of the absent one. Even the "day before had these pilgrim ages begun, and the dawn of Memorial day found hundreds of bouquets adorn ing the cemeteries. All morning the work continued with unabated vigor, and hy noon It seemed that thousands of gar dens had been robbed of their best to beautify graves. Before 9 A. M. the headquarters of the decoration committees of the G. A. R. and kindred organizations were lively ecenes of preparation. Easkets of flowers were brought by members and strangers; wreaths, bouquets and designs of various shapes being included. No particular per sons were chosen by the veterans for this work, but volunteers from all the patriotic organizations were asked for. The response was liberal In the ex treme. Vehicles were placed at the dis posal of the men and women engaged, and the workers were divided into bands for each of the cemeteries. Ilivervlew, Lone Fir, Mount Calvary, Grand Army, Mason ic, St. Mary'3 and every place that there were soldier dead, was visited. To some of these cemeteries great loads of flowers were taken. Express wagons would have to be engaged to haul everything that was offered. As best they could the com mittee transported their flowers out and then distributed them equally among the soldier dead. In Lone Fir there are said to be about 100 soldiers of the Civil "War interred, besides eight from the Second Oregon Volunteers. At Riverview there are many more. Including those buried In tho military plot purchased by the state, where the imposing ceremonies over the Second Oregon dead were recently heid. In Mount Calvary there are a few more, and some are found In other cemeteries, besides the Grand Army cemetery, near Riverview, where the graves number hun dreds. A more favprable time for Memorial services out of doors could not have been chosen. While there were some clouds, the atmosphere was remarkably mild and balmy. The night before there fell a re freshing shower, which left everything In delightful condition. For those taking part in the street parade a finer tempera ture could not have been ordered. No one feared rain, bcause there seemed a sort of pledge that the day should be good. In most of cases business houses were closed for at least the afternoon, and many flags were at half-mast. Everybody joined in the wdrk of honoring the dead. THE PARADE. Veterans of Three "Wars Marched in the Line. "With admirable precision the details of the parade were organized and carried out. Shortly alter 2 P. M. the different bodies to take part were In their respective po sitions and waiting the command that was not delayed much in being given. A platoon of police, under command of Sergeant J. E. Moore, was the first organ ization in the line, and a fine appearance they made as they marched elbow to el bow In single rank, the line spreading from curb to curb. General Owen Sum mers, grand marshal of the day, followed, mounted and accompanied by his special staff, consisting of Captain Sandford "Whit ing. Chaplain V. S. Gilbert, E. H. Longley and E. C. Bulman, who were also mount ed. Brown's Military Band came next, discoursing a stirring march, and "behind It were the Grand Army of the Repub.Ic Posts in Portland, the "West Side flret. These were: George "Wright Post, No. 1; Lincoln-Garfield Post, No. 4, and Sumner Post. No. 12, while Ben Butler Post, No. IC, represented the East Side. Each of the old veterans w ore the regulation G. A. R. uniform, and at the head of each post was the flag and standard. In spite of ad vancing years, they marched well, keep ing a bteady posIt.oa and maintaining their line In good sijle. As they passed the National Guard companies, which were at "present arms," most of the old veterans doffed their hats, and In almost every In stance they paid that honor to the colors carried by the Third Regiment. Immediately behind the Civil "War Vet erans was a special feature, and one that leceived universal praise. Thla was the carriage in which President Lincoln rode the last time, drawn by Hon. H. "W. Cor bett's team and driven by his private coachman. In the carriage was a fine, large portrait of the martyred President, around which was a bank of beautiful flowers. No person rode in It. for it is a rule with the G. A. R. that no living per ion Is entitled to such an honor. Many wero the hats lifted in reverence as this idle of him who is so closely associated with memorial observances passed by. Behind the carriage were the members of General H. TV. Lawton Garrison, No. IS9, Regular Army and Navy Union, car rying their banner; the Indian "War Vet erans In a feeble, tottering line, and rep r sentatlves of the Mexican War Veterans and the more feeble G. A. R. members In carriages. The last of the first division was the Spanish and Filipino War Veter ans" Association, commanded by Major C E. McDonelL There was a good turn-out of the volunteers, but not nearly so heavy as the G. A. R. The four local camps wero all united, and their respective com manders mingled with the rank and file. The camps were General Summers, No. 1; James Harrington. No. 2; H, No. 3. and "W. S. Gilbert. No. 4. The volunteers marched in column of fours, and were very military In appearance and the regu larity of their positions. Lieutenant-Colonel R. G. Jubttz, Third Regiment. O. X. G., commanded the sec ond division, in the unavoidable absence of.Colonel Edward Everett. But one staff ofllccr. Adjutant E. C. Mears. accompa nied the Lieutenant-Colonel, both being mounted. This division contained all the mliltia in the parade. Close behind the commanding officer came the Third Regi ment military band, recently organized. Companies A. B. C. D. E. F and G were out. Major F. S. Kelly, senior Major of tho regiment, commanded the first battal ion. and Major G. C von Egloffsteln. junior Major, the Second battalion. Com pany F, Captain C. E. Dick, had the right of line, and led the militia. Company B having the honor of being color com pany. Sergeant C. P. Mercer, the Second Oroeon's old Color Sergeant when the reg iment entered Manila, bore the colors, and Sergeants G. C. Mosler was standard bearer. Sergeant-Major Josiah Kemp and Regimental Quartermaster-Sergeant Hen ry Hcckenyos. both recently selected for those positions, were in the parade. Lieu tenant Edwards and Lieutenant Z. A. Bowman were Battalion Adjutants for Majors Kelly and Von Egloffsteln, re spectively. Tho Naval Mllltiu, under Lleutenant- Commander R. E. Davis, followed the In fantry, both of the Portland divisions be ing In line. The boys pulled along with them one of their new three-Inch landing guns, recently received for practice drills, and made a good showing. Light Battery A, Captain H. U. Welsh, was out In full force, with both of the brass Napoleons and the two Gatlings. Mayor Storey kindly loaned the battery all the horses needed for drawing the guns and mount ing the officers, which enabled the bat tery to make a splendid showing. Each of the guns. In charge of a Sergeant and three Lieutenants of the battery, gave it a most business-like aspect. The Boys' Brigade from the Third-Street Mission was out In good numbers, and attracted much attention by their unique blouse and cap and white trousers, as well as marching. Professor Standlcys fife and drum corps made Itself heard quite often, and furnished good marching music The line of march down Fourth street was a great scene. On either side of the route hundreds of people were assembled to witness the procession. No cheering or applause was heard, because the solemnity of the occasion repressed such disposition. But there was a spirit of patriotism rampant that found expression in words, if not in cheers. The fine show ing of the G. A. R. and the few Indian War Veterans was the subject for kind words. The volunteer veterans were the objects of many compliments. But the greatest praise was heard of the mili tary organizations. Everybody admitted that thes marched splendidly and were a fine body of men. This Is the first street ADJUTANT RASMUSSEN. pageant that the Third Regiment had taken part In, so that It may be said to have been introduced to the public" yes terday. The greeting was certainly cor dial. For a distance north of the City Hall the mill tar remained in column of fours, hut the companies swung Into line of 26 file front at Washington street. Fourth street Is a fair pavement, and the soldiers held a. sood line most of the way A W l5 h Ha & st X AT THE CEMETERY. to Burnslde, often being as correct as j could be asked on dress parade. Many compliments were paid to the new regi ment, and Its officers, who are working so faithfully to raise efficiency. Colonel Ev erett arrived In time to witness the col umn pass, and was more than pleased with the splendid showing made. From Burnslde the procession crossed the bridge. Care had been taken to have the crossing made on the Burnslde bridge because of its greater strength. The sol diers were ordered "route step" all the time they were on the structure, and went slowly, so that the rhythm of marching would not shake the spans. The crowds began again on East Burnslde. Grand avenue was lined with hundreds of peo ple, and on either side of East Stark clear I out to the entrance to the cemetery the crowd continued unbroken. From East Twentieth street, looking westward, a fine view of the procession was to be had. and the i'ght was pronounced by all very imposing. ' AT THE CEMETERY. Graves of DcntI Soldiers Fired Over liy Their Comrades. But It was In Lone Fir cemetery that the greatest throng had gathered, where the crowd was pronounced larger than ever before. No matter how oftpn tho !' beautiful ritualistic work of the G. A. R. is witnessed, It seems to have renewed Interest each jear. Every part of the t mibc .ciiivlci txciL vtaa jjiuny wen oc- i ' cupled, ard In the vicinity of the grand- OFFICER, OF DAY 5EAL. stand erected for the ceremonies there was a surging mass of people that taxed tho efforts of the police to restrain from crowding into the space reserved for the veterans and the military. All the ave nue and paths through the cemetery wore thronged by the roving people who passed Lorn one place to another view ing and admiring the beautiful decora tions. And they had reason to 'admire. for never were flowers better arranged to embellish the home of the dead. Some graves were hidden from view by the wealth of these pretty tributes. When the head of the procession ar rived, the police opened up a way to the platform In the center of the cemetery, to which General Summers and his aids finally led the parade. Some estimated the crowd about the platform, and In the cemetery during the afternoon at 15.003 or even 20.000 persons. The officers in charge of the services and the principal officers In the parade were conducted to the platform, where many G. A. R. offi cials and members of the local Relief Corps were also seated. The militia and the other veterans ranged themselves on alL sides of the platform. Inside the ropes that had been stretched to keep back the crowd. T. C. Bell was commander of the G. A. R. for the day; J. E. Mayo, senior vice commander; M.J. Mors.e, junior vice commander; Rev. Robert McLean, chap lain for the day; F. R. Neal, officer of the day; Lieutenant B. W. Mcore, officer of the guard; R W. Rasmussen. adjutant, and Rev. C. E. Cllne. chairman of the meeting, and in Immediate charge of the services. A dirge by Brown's band was the first on tho programme, after 'which Adjutant Rasmussen read the order of the Depart ment Commander, arranging for the serv ices of the day. The G. A. R. ritualistic work was carried out, by the usual officers and consisted of tho reading and music prescribed for such occasions. M. J. Morse COMMANDER BELL. sang "Tread Lightly, Ye Comrades," which was a lengthy composition appro priate to the time. Then tho Woman's Relief Corps performed their ritualistic work, consisting of reading by a circle and closing with "Nearer, My God, to Thee," which was joined in by the other persons on the platform. '-Chairman Cline then announced that a new feature would be Introduced Into the services. All the vrfves, mothers, ateters or sweethearts of the heroic dead of the Second Oregon were Invited to come forward aad deposit upon the tomb provided on the platform. I tokens of love and undying- memory. This part of the programme called forth many expressions of approval and appreciation as tho state's soldier dead of the late war were especially recognized on this first Memorial day eAncx the return, of the state regiment. Profeeeor M. L. Pratt read Lincoln's address at Gettysburg In a loud tone, which was the only feature of the programme heard by all near the platform. "America," aung by those on the platform, preceded the salute to the dead, which was fired by Company B, Third Regiment, O. N. G.. Captain T. N. Dunbar. The entire company was marched upon the platform, and, with commendable unity, fired the three blank cartridge charges. All the old veterans were loud In their praise of this part of the service, and joined rn stating that Captain Dunbar's company had done bet ter than they ever heard before on simi lar occasions. As the echoes of the sa lute were dying out. Company B's musi ciansJames Kennedy, Adorph Wallam and Frank Collier sounded "taps Chap lain McLean delivered an. eloquent bene diction, which closed the programme. Chairman Cline made the announcements for the evening service, and urged all members of the Relief Corpa and tho various posts to attend. At the Armory. Memorial day at the Armory was the busiest one experienced for a long period. By noon the men had begun to assemble for the parade at 2 P. M. Light Battery A had all its equipment out for the four guns, and the Naval Militia was out In force. Most of the companies made ex cellent showings In number. This being the first occasion on which the Third Regi ment has been In a public parade, espe cial effort was made to avoid the usual confusion and embarrassment of first ef forts. Success was written In every re sult, for all complimented the soldiers on their work. When the regiment returned to the Armory, Colonel Everett entered the big drill hall before they were dismissed and addressed the men briefly. He expressed his regret at not being able to command them on their first appearance. His op portunity for obsprvlng had been better as a result, however, and he hastened to state that he was truly proud of his com mand. Owing to the fine appearance in line and good company work, the Colonel announced that soon he would have all company drills stop and begin battalion and Teglmental work, including guard duty and other especial instruction for the en campment. After he closed and the men were allowed at ease, they gave three great cheers and a tiger for their new commander, which he acknowledged by a bow and doffing his hat. MEMORIAL AT PLEASANT HOME. Dinner for the Old Soldiers and 'Ora tion by Rev. M. L. Hardlnghnm. Memorial services were conducted at Pleasant Home yesterday under the aus pices of the M. A. Ross Post and Wom an's Relief Corps. While the weather was threatening In the morning, the attend ance at all the exercises was large. The sawmills of the neighborhood generally closed down, and most every one took a holiday. At 10 A. M. the ceremony of decorating the graves In the cemetery In the rear of the church took place, and was performed by M. A. Ross Woman's Relief Corps In an Impressive manner. The ritual of the corps was used. The decoration of the soldiers' graves was particularly elaborate. It was noted that not a single mound In the cemetery out side of the soldiers' graves was omitted, but the wealth of bloom adorned the hum blest. After the conclusion of the morn ing ceremony the Relief Corps gave the old soldiers and their families a royal dinner In the G. A. R. Hall. The tables had been elegantly adorned with flowers, while Old Glory depended from the walls and from every point, for the Pleasant Home Woman's Relief Corps Is full of patriotism. That great prosperity has come to that portion of Multnomah County could be seen from the bountiful provis ion made, and the women of the corps more than sustained their reputation of fine entertainers. After dinner, at 1:30, came the afternoon exercises, which took place at the church, which was packed to Its utmost ca pacity. Colonel Robert Pool, command er of the post, presided. The exercises were opened with a song by the choir, "Crown Our Heroes," after which Rev. M. L. Hardlngham, of Gresham, delivered the memorial oration, which was an ad dress of much force and eloquence. "Me morial Day" was then rendered by Arthur Bates. This was followed by a finely rendered song by the choir, "Faded Coat of Blue." A pleasing recitation was ren dered by Julia Snover. All the exercises of the afternoon were pleasing to the large audience. Connty Cemeteries. The cemeteries throughout the county were all resplendent with bloom. At the Gresham Cemetery. In the rear of the schoolhouse, the monuments there were hung with variegated bloom, and many of the graves were decorated elaborately. The Kronenburg cemetery, two miles west from Gresham, on the Powell's Valley road, was also remembered. The graves m the ,Multnomah cemetery, near Inde pendence Hall, were generally decorated. At Sell-wood. At Sellwood the pupils, under the charge of Professor Edward Curtis, together with a detail from Pickett Post, yesterday morning proceeded to the Mllwaukie ceme tery and decorated the graves of the veterans of the Civil and Spanish Wars Jointly. In the evening a Joint memorial service was held at the Presbyterian Church, the people of the neighborhood Joining generally In the exercises. Patri otic music was furnished by the Joint choirs of the two churches. A TRAVELING MAN'S OPINION A well-known New York traveling man. at the Portland, yesterday, said: "I have crossed the continent nine times In the last five years, hut I never before had so quick and pleasant a trip as this one. I came by the O. R, & N., of course, and It would be hard to imagine a finer train, better service, faster time or grander and more varied scenery. The sleepers are as comfortable and elegant as first class hotels; the diners serve nearly every thing you can get at a metropolitan res taurant, and serve It well and at reason able prices: and the buffet- observation car Is a whole city club on wheels, with library, reading and writing-room, cafe, bar and barber shop, all condensed in one. And the time Is greased lightning! Think of flying from New York to Portland In four days, and from Chicago to Portland In three! Talk about modern progress! You can get a half-century of It boiled down to a few hours In one O. R. & N. Chicago-Portland Special trip!" . Petty Thieving: Stopped. The police think they have put a stop to the petty thieving that has been going on on the East Side for some time. Many small articles have disappeared from the second-hand stores, and also from unfin ished buildings. Some valuable articles were taken from the new building of the Oregon Packing Company, on East Yam hill and East Eighth streets. Recently a second-hand store on Union avenue was entered from the rear and about $30 worth of articles were carried away. These rob beries. It la thought, are traceable to about four boys. Two have fled to Hood River, and one Ip under arrest. These youngsters or some others are supposed to be the ones who have been operating In Central East Portland, hut the gang has now been broken up. When the head feels dull and heavy, the skin appears sallow and greasy, and the stomach refuses food, take Carter's Little Liver Pills. Don't forget this. MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESS DR. ALEXANDER BLACKBURN AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Dr. H. W. KcllesK Spoke to Veterans at Centenary, en the East Side Interesting Programmes. Rev. Alexander Blackburn delivered the oration at the memorial evening services held at the First Presbyterian Church last night, and his talk was of an Inter esting nature. He discussed the war and the slavery question, and the poor white trash, which he said the results of the war made as free as the negro. "It set labor free," said he. "and made It honorable In every part of this country. North and South, for men to work. The emancipation proclamation not only set free the slaves, but it went into the South and set free the Institutions of liberty. There was no free press south of the Mason and Dixon line before the war. Then man who dared to publish the truth was ostracised. Where we go and where the flag goes henceforth, there shall be free speech, a free press, free schools and free Institutions." "America must grow as It has: it Is in the very nature of things to grow; wher ever there is liberty there must be a growth." The speaker told of the Immortal John Brown, and next took up the question of tho safety of the Nation, which he stated was Intelligent citizenship. "One of the dangers' he continued, "is our Ignorant ballot. One of the mistakes was when we placed the ballot in the hands of the ignorant negro. I don't say we should take it out of his hands, but we should enlighten him so he can Intelli gently use it." The arrival In one day of 7000 Poles and Italians was commentedon adversely, and as moro harmful to labor than Japs or Chinese. "The Nation," he said, "cannot afford to take men who cannot come with clean characters. We do not want any more jailbirds or paupers from Europe. I be lieve In Mr. Lodge's theory. They should read and write In their own language, and should not come here except to become Americans. They should not bring South ern Europe into this country. We want Intelligent citizens who recognize the great problems that are before us." Capital and labor received some atten tion, and Dr. Blackburn also took up th subject of voting. He said there was con siderable agitation about change of creeds, and he would like to change his creed that a man who has the right to vote and don't vote should not be allowed at tho com munion table. The pensions were defended, and the boys of 1S9S, who took the place of the boys of '61, were eulogized. Some o them were led by the old veterans, and, he said: "! thank God some of them wore veterans of the other side." Dr. Blackburn said ho favors expansion, because it can't be helped, and he closed his address with a very fitting story. Illus trating "where the flag goes. It can't come back." The remainder of the programme was entertaining. C. E. Cllne acted as chair man, and Professor Edgar Couren pre sided at the organ. Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" grandly, and In response to an encor? sang "The Red, White and Blue." Mr. M. J. Mors sang the "Battle Hymn of the Re public," and M. J. Kemp gave a selected solo. The next number was a reading, "Music on the Rappahannock," bv Miss Lulu Mao Buddemer. A poem, "The Ore gon Volunteer Mounment," was recited by Miss Potter, and the benediction was pro nounced by Dr. Hill. At Centenary Methodist ClrarcJa. Tho exercises at the Centenary Meth odist Church were under the auspices of Sumner Po3t, No. 12, and Sumner Re lief Corps, No. 21, with the camps of the Second Oregon. A great audience gath ered in the auditorium, and not all could be provided with seats. Members of the post and corps marched to the church in a body, with their banners. The pro gramme was opened with an organ med ley and music by an orchestra, followed by prayer by Dr. L. E. Rockwell- The Starr-Walker quartet rendered a selection with fine effect, after which Rev. H. W. Kellogg delivered an Intensely Interesting address, in which he spoke of the magni tude of the Civil War and Its far-reaching results. He touched wth vivid words on some of the terrible battles, and pointed to the great bravery of the American sol diers, and closed his fine address with a forcible reference to Memorial day as ex emplifying the Nation's appreciation for the sacrifices of the soldiers of the Civil War. Following Dr. Kellogg's talk M. L. Bowman sang with great power "The Flag Without a Stain," filling the great audi torium with his strong voice. He sang also "The Vacant Chair." "Columbia's Memorial Day" is the title of the fine and appropriate selection rendered by Mrs. C. N. Rankin with splendid power and effect- The deep touch of patriotic sen timent running through the selection was finely Interpreted, and the beautiful thought was brought out with clearness. By request, Mrs. B. S. Miller sang with her clear, strong voice "Just Before the Battle," and Chaplain Gilbert, of the Sec ond Oregon, was introduced and deliv ered an eloquent and touching address. Judge Hennesoy sang "He's Asleep In a Grave Marked Unknown." and received much applause. Miss Merchant rendered "Mustering In of Company G" with ex cellent effect, then came music by the Starr-Walker quartet, reading by Profes sor Rasmus, and the closing song, "The Star-Spangled Banner," by ?drs. E. S. Mil ler. Every number on the programme was high class and heartily applauded. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND. May 308 P. M.
