Tboizfs&dji ot People "Visited, tfee Cemeteries Services ly tlie Patriotic Societies. No more glorious morn ever dawned on Memorial day than that of yesterday. The sun shone from an unclouded sky end a eool and -refreshing -breeze tem pered his rays; the .air -was balmy and redolent of the perfume of roses and flowers of air kinds, which are now at their highest point of perfection and beauty. It -was a pleasure to be abroad, and the people of Portland seemed in clined to take luir advantage of the oc casion The day was very generally ob served as a. holiday, .and at an earjy hour thousands were on their way to the different cemterfes, loaded with baskets of flowers to deck the graves of the nation's- heroes -and their own loved ones. All day long the street cars were crowd ed with old and' young, most of them intent on the proper observance of the day, but many companies made their way "by rail, boat and .carriage to lovely suburban spots to enjoy a day of recrea tion and quiet in shady groves by bab bling streams. Never before has Mem orial day been so generally observed in this city, and seldom or never has there been such a. wealth of flowers nsed in decorating graves,. . Public services were held under the auspices of four patriotic societies the G. A. R.. the Woman's Belief Corps and the Spanish-American "War "Veterans and their auxiliaries. There was a parade in the afternoon in which the Oregon Na tional Guard took part, followed by the usual Memorial day programme at the Armory. The Spanish-American War Veterans', who are affiliated with the national organization, held their mem orial exercises In the Calvary Presby terian "Church, the pastor of - which is Rev. W. -S. Gijbert, who was chaplain of the Second Oregon. These services were held in the evening, so as not to con flict with the G. A. R. programme In the afternoon. Death-laden missiles of carnage fell like the fall of the rain; There, like a wall adamantine, shoulder to shoulder they stand. Under the banner of freedom, under the flag of our land; There 'mid the smoke of the battle, there where the camion shot fell; There with the whizzing of bullets, there 'mid the bursting of shell; 'mid the bursting of shell; There mld the conflict's wild horrors, there 'mid the war demons' breath; There In the hell of the slaughter, there In the face of grim death; Friendships that time cannot sever, mystic and blood-stained the tie. Friendships were formed and cemented, friend ships that never can die. John P. Caples was called upon and de livered a brief, characteristic speech, finishing with three cheers for the Grand Army and the American flag. The remainder of the programme fol lows: Ritual, Woman's Relief Corps Songs, "Dear Refuge Never Falling," "Bring to Deck Bach Grave" Veteran Hale Double Quartet. Lincoln's address at Gettysburg M. L. Pratt. Silent salute to the dead Singing of ''America" Benediction HEROES OP THE SPANISH WAR. Memorial Services at the Calvary Presbyterian Church. Calvary Presbyterian Church was li aDemocrat or a. Republican or a Eopo crat, and , because be Is a' godd fellowj and not a good statesman.-' The good cfel Jow is Usually, a man who treats his friends and never pays his bllls.c The good fellow treats the public treasury as a big grab-bag. Xou would not trust this good fellow to -take your dally cash to the bank, yet You. put him where Ire may handle millions of your money In public life. The good fellow permits gambling to go. In in "Portland. Do you think .you did, your duty as a citizen -when you voted for such ajman? Gambling is being car ried on in 'this city contrary to the stat utes and ordinances of .state and city, and when 'a meeting is called to ask for better pbseryance of the laws, a dozen old men, with a few women, respond to the call. We can get a big crowd to honor-our fallen heroes, cheer the flag and-jstrew flowers on the graves of the dead, but when we desire to have the laws enforced In order to make the coun try worthy of those who fought and died foirit, very few show any Interest In the cause. Let Decoration day also be a day of duty in good citizenship, and' then show ourselves worthy of those we are striving to honor today." Chaplain Gilbert related some interest ing reminiscences of soldier life during the late war. He told how dead oflicers were burled high and dry In selected ceme teries, but how private soldiers were In terred In .swamps where the cofffns had to be weighted down with mud to keep them from floating, "because they were only private soldiers." "The Star-Spangled Banner" was sung PARADE A3VD EXERCISES. Oration by Rev. Ray Palmer at the Armory. The parade was one of the largest ever seen in Portland on a Memorial day, de noting .that the old soldiers still retain a warm place In the "hearts of the people,' and that their heroic deeds in the cause of liberty have not been forgotten. The beauty of the day added to the Impres slveness of the event. The streets were thronged with people along the line of march, and many business houses weVe decorated with the National colors. James P. Shaw acred as grand marshal, T. B. McDeyJtt chlef-of-staff, and J. A. Braden, J. H. feeustis, H. Hbckenyos and T. A. Woods as aids. The column moved promptly at 2:30 P.

County -Commissioner Showers, who Is a member of the G. A. R., walked with his comrades. The members of the G. A. R. passed in review in front of the Armory on Eleventh street, after which the parade was dis missed. The literary exercises at the Armory fol lowing the parade were of an interesting nature, and were witnessed by a large au dience. The members of the Grand Army, Woman's Relief Corps, Spanish-American War Veterans, Indian War Veterans and guests occupied seats on the main floor. In the center of which was the platform occupied by the chairman and speakers. The regimental band played a dirge, after which John E. Mayo read the ritual of the G. A. R. This was followed by the reading of the list of members who have died since last Memorial day, accompa nied by the usual solemn ceremony of the order, and a prayer by Rev. H. A. Barden, chaplain. The address by Rev. Ray Palmer was entitled. "The Seven Lamps of Liberty," the first or which, the speaker said, is patriotism. He said two-score years have elapsed since "our. comrades at Sumter awakened the nation." He spoke of Washington and Lincoln, saying: "Where in all history can the Nation boast of two such grand heroes?" After an eloquent patriotic review, he said: "One by one the members of the Grand Army are going to their last sleep. Who shall tell the stories -of the war when they are gone? "Who shall sings the songs when they are away?" The second lamp was designated as vi carious sacrifice, and among other things concerning this subject, Mr. Palmer said: "The liberties we enjoy were purchased by vicarious sacrifice of those who have gone before us. It is an honor to pension well the men who shall carry the marks of war down to their graves." The third lamp was called humanity, and with reference to the Spanish War he stated: "Nor would we have been worthy the name of freemen if we had not risen and extended the helping hand to the down-trodden and oppressed. We did not want the war; It was forced upon us." Morality was classed as the next portion of the subject. "It is for us to say," the speaker said, "'whether the liberty our fathers have given usjshall live or die; it Is for xis to say If -the altars they have given us shall endure." The fifth lamp was denominated as Christianity, which was explained: "By our Jesus Christ this Nation Is founded. He is the star of Bethlehem guiding us to our destiny. Jesus Christ stands today as the heart of our Nation, and he calls upon every young man to go forth and fight the battles of peace." The lamp of unity was next in order, and, speaking of unison, Mr. Palmer called attention to the manner In which the South vied -with the North In responding to the call f arms two years ago. The -seventh lamp Mr. Palmer called universality, and in closing he said: "The American soldier always fights for liberty, intelligent liberty, not only for his own country, but all countries of the world. The doctrine of divine kings is abhorrent to the American soldier. The American soldier and the American civilian will never be satisfied until the countries of the world are transformed Into glorious republics like our own." E. "W. Allen, in a brief but stirring ad dress, told why the Grand Army organi ' ration is as enduring". as ever, and con cluded by reciting a poem-entitled, "The Ties That Bind- Us;' as follows: Thundered the guns of the South-land, under the Stars and the 3a.rs, Thundered the guns of the North-land, under the Stripes -and the Stars, Deep hung; thesmoke of the conflict, pall like o'er hill and tbs plain. ISTHAS WAR VETERANS. crowded to its utmost capacity adjoining class rooms and all long before the time for the services for Spanish-American soldiers arrived last evening, and hun dreds of people were obliged to turn back from the doors. After a prayer by Chap lain Gilbert, "America" was sung stand ing by the congregation. Mrs. Addu Dav enport Martin sang "Only a Sad, Sweet Memory;" Miss Lulu Mae Buddemer read a Memorial prayer, written by Mrs. J. McMlllen. Ordway, and Miss Margaret Dobson sang "A Faded Coat of Blue." The address of the evening was made by Dr. -Stephen S. Wise. He considered It a real .privilege to add his voice to the choruses and praises that had been sung in honor of the noble, heroes who fell fighting for their homes and their coun try. He referred to the beautiful annual custom of decorating the graves of loved, ones, and said: "Memorial day is one day of the year when we can acknowledge the debt of gratitude we owe to those 'who died that the nation might live. I love Memorial day because it means so much, and although republics are said to be un grateful, we will not forget those who gave up their lives for the good of their country. I love the day because we still cherish the prize for which our fathers fought and fell, 40 years ago, not for their own liberty, but for that of a race of slaves. If we did not believe in the cause for which these men fought we would not now be decking and beautify ing the mounds which mark their resting places. We love them for what they did for what we would be willing to do. "Decoration day, with its wealth of fragrant blossoms strewn In honor of our soldier dead, symbolizes a grateful re membrance of the soldier heroes whose well-spent lives have been rounded off in the fullness of Immortality. The Civil War was just, right and necessary. There was no other way out of the dispute. Although two sections of our country were locked In deadly embrace, after the war was over no man was a slave within Its boundary. All were free, white and black free, forever. And yet a greater war was fought In recent years, not great In numbers killed, but great for the ob ject for which it was fought. We did not go to war with Spain to. defend our rights or to extend our territory, but be cause In the shadow of the United States no nation shall be permitted to trample under foot the rights of its.subjects. The wrongs of suffering Cuba were worse than slavery. This war was splendidly fought, over principles that are eternal. It was our duty to free our neighboring Isle of Cuba. In that war is it not a source of gratification to us that no sec tion of our country responded with more promptness than our own State of Ore son; and that no volunteers called out by the President were more true than the young men composing the regiment commanded by General Summers? (Ap- 1 plause.) "But in honoring the fallen dead, let us not forget also the debt of gratitude we owe to the living. There is no danger of 1 our forgetting the dead ones, but there is a real danger that the living heroes may be overlooked. Let us make our country worth living In and worth dying for. We owe it to those dead heroes so to live as by Mme. G. Ferrari, who was called fronv the congregation. Roy Doby,' bugler of Company H, -Second Oregon, sounded taps as In camp at the front. This closed the exercises. AT LOIV'E FIR CEMETERT. -i Touching ami Beautiful Tributes to the Honored Dead. ' The number of visitors to Lone Fir cem etery was immense. Extra cars were pro vided for their accommodation and far the greater part of the day a continuous stream of people was arriving and depart ing. No soldier's grave In the cemetery was neglected, as all were marked by the G. A. R. badges and small flags. Committees of G. A. R. men provided with huge baskets of beautiful flowers made the rounds of the cenietery and took es pecial pains to see that the graves of General Summers, commanding squad of Philippine Veterans. those who had no families here were pro vided with a sufficiency of flowers. A man who knew an Illinois soldier buried in Lone Fir in 1879, and who hqd neither kith nor kin in this city, went out es pecially to see whether his grave had ben decorated. He fully expected to find that It had been forgotten after so many years, but was pleased when he found the stone which marked the resting place of this "printer" and patriot soldier" was liberally sprinkled with roses, and that the Stars and Stripes he loved and fought for waved over his ashes. Scores, of old veterans wandered about the place, stopping to read the inscrip tions on the tombstones of old comrades and, frlendSj viewing with pleasure the decorations, and perhaps thinking that before long some one would be bestowing the same pious attention to theirflast beheld them, and to instltfjpatrlotlsm and love of National ,honor "and -glory In every heart." The crowd was largest In the morning, when Sumner Post, G. A. R., and the Woman's Relief Corps held exercises there, before placing floral tributes onthe soldiers' graves. At 10:30 the represen tatives of the G. A. R. and Relief Corps, entered the cemetery with an es cort of 'Second Oregon 'Volunteers; the Boys' "Brigade and a large numb"er of school children. They marched to, the grandstand, where a short 'service was held, with A. D. Shorno, commander of the post. In charge. J. E. Mayo, adjutant,' read the orders of the day, together "with the form pre scribed by the G. A. R. In the work of decoration. The prayer -by Chaplain W. C. vTracy was followed by a practical il lustration of G. A. R. work by Officer of the Day J. A. Newell. A mound had been arranged In the center of the platform, and as Mr. Mendenhall scattered large red roses over it he said that the mound rep resented the graves of the jnen who had died in their country's cause; and that, though the floral tribut placed there might wither, yet their spirits were ever lasting. v M. L. Pratt then read Lincoln's address on the battle-field of Gettysburg. Rev. Robert McLean made a few ap propriate remarks on the observance 'of the day. His theme was from Kipling's "Recessional," "Lest We Forget" He reminded his hearers that the day Is not Intended for a holiday, or for picnics, or parties. There are memories to be kept sacred, and for that purpose j Decoration day was set apart. A -common loss, he said, should draw all together, and thoughts of pleasure-seeking should be silenced while respect Is being paid to thost to whom It is due. Mr. McLean closed by reciting" the "Recessional." A salute to" the dead was fired by the Second Oregon escort, and the bugle call by Roy Doble closed the exercises. The old soldiers and members of the Relief Corps, assisted by the school children, vis ited all parts of the cemetery, placing flowers wherever a grave was marked by a flag. The graves of volunteers or tne Spanish-American War were decorated by representatives from Gilbert Camp., AT RXVERVIEW CEMETERY; Vast Crowds Strewed Flowers on the Graves o Loved Ones. Riverview, the Grand Army and Jewish cemeteries, south of town, were well taken care of In floral decorations, and hardly a grave on the beautiful hillside was missed. All day long the "S" cars of the City & Suburban line were crowd ed to the steps with people bearing fioral pieces, wreaths and bouquets, and the cemeteries probably never In- their his tory contained such crowds of the liv ing. Friends of tha dead arrived by team, by wheel and on "foot as "well as by street-cars, and the pleasant, winding drives of Riverside were thronged with livery rigs. The wheels', owing to the steep climb, were left at the entrance gates while the "riders ascended tne hill and 'sought out the graves of their friends. The soldiers' graves were decorated in the morning by special details sent out by the various posts and women's aux iliary committees. The 15 graves of Spanish War veterans were tastily adorned with flowers, while at headstone and footboard the Stars, and Stripes were left waving In the light Summer breezes, and the bronze grave-marks, bearing the initials, "S.-A. W. V.," were erected at the head of each mound. At a distance the little semi-circle of graves wore quite J a gala-day appearance as a result of the garlands and flags. Memorial day gave thousands of Port land people an opportunity to ride over the new track recently laid by the City & Suburban to Riverview. The change of cars is still made at Hamilton avenue, but the track diverges from the old one which used "to run -to Carson Heights and follows along the foot of the hills just west of the residence portion of Southern Portland and Fulton. The old trestles used for many years on the Duiton .farK Drancn have now fallen into disuse and stand Jn bold relief acainst the western sky as- the passengers skirt along the lower level. The end of the track, is now at the base of the hillside upon which Riv erview cemetery reclines, and a short climb by steps and a steep trail finds the visitor within a few yards of the plat de voted to the Spanish War Veterans. The scene at this point is lovely beyond de scription. The pretty green hillside, re lieved by stately monument, modest headstone, and lastly shrubbery, stretches away to 'the southward and -westward. Its well-trimmed sward resembling the extensive lawn on. some wealthy-man's grounds. The location Is beautiful always, but was rendered doubly so yesterday by the presence of neatly dressed --women and children and well-attlred men. Fqmlly groups were seated about under the trees enjoying the matchless view from the ele vated hillside. The sky was clear and bright, and the distant mountain peaks could not nave been more plainly visible above the dim blue of the wooded Cas cade Ranee. Below, at the feet of the cemetery, the Willamette River could be seen through the trees which fringed Its banks, and just beyond the thousands of pretty homes of the living on the East Side. The last of the visitors did not leave the charming scene until the shades of evening had begun to settle on the green slopes of the West-Side. i 4laattHiw AHflH JfiUiK VMwMmwWRM ssm mlll9r I Ma ,lIt KullS I m Schaffner In 11 tf1 (If & Marx M9HJB llilfHw Tailor vil mm -Made ' III life Cl0tht Sound Facts We can sell you the clothes you want at about theprice you want to pay.

In the morning the members of the corps and the 'post assembled at G. A. R. Hall. In the audience were a number of little girls dressed In white and carrying bou quets and wreaths. A large cross in front of the altar was draped with the National colors, while the rear of the platform was covered with bunting, flags and flowers. The Relief Corps had charge of the exercises, assisted by the post and .50 or more little girls. With President Mrs. H. Stephens at the head, the corps 'gathered- around tlie cross and recited the burial service of the order. Then the children marched around the cross, drop ping bouquets at the foot until there was a large mound of bloom. After prayer by Jlles G. Stephens, the services In the church' ended, and the flowers" were taken to the cemetery and the graves of sol. diers were decorated by the children. Following the morning exercises the 'Relief Corps served dinner In the banquet hall of the G. A. R. building. At 2 o'clock a programme of songs and recitations was rendered, and B. W.
