THK OUEGON STATESMAN: FKlbAY.MAY 21. 1886.
MEMORIAL DAY.
Its Significance flow it will be Ob
served Here Services on
. Sunday and Monday.
This, like all holidays, came into exis
tence from a simple circumstance. In
May, 1806, at a small place in one of the
outtern states, a lew ladies, with a feel
ing of giiof for the low of those dear to
thorn fresh in their hearts, met together,
and, with simple ceremonies, placed up
on their graves the "first fresh flowers of
spring time." Those who looked on,
track with the beauty and appropriate
ness of the ceremony, imitated it in their
localities, until, in lSvlS, the soldiers of
the north, then rapidly forming the or
ganization of the Grand Army of the Re
public, took it up, and spread it, and, by
general orders, designated May 3)th, in
ech year, as Memorial Pay.
At first, the memorial service of the G.
A. R. had in view only those who fell
during the period of the actual war; but,
the fraternity, engendered by years of
common sutterinsr and danger, and the
growing consciousness of the work done
by the humblest soldier, has led tliem to
add to tlfeir roll of honor the name of
each, as he pusses over the line, and an
swers to the "roll-cull'' on the other side.
Thus taken up by the Grand Army
and consecrated to the memory of their
comrades, dead, and, as a fit occasion for
the renewal of their most sacred pledges
to their comrades, livinjr, as well as a
fitting time to impress upon the young
those feelings of patriotism and love of
country, that will fit them to perpetuate
the priceless boon of universal liberty,
which has beeu secured to tiiem through
the death ot those whose memories are
kept trreen by the ceremonies of this
day, the day has grown in favor, until
by legal enactment it has come to be a
national holiday ; and year by year it is
growing to be a custom for all who have
lost friends to join with the G. A. R., in
their ceremonies, and deck with flowers
the graves of their own loved ones.
This is as it should be, and while the
Grand Army of the Republic are expect
ed to take the initiative in preparing for
the observance of the day, all citizens
are invited to participate with them in
its solemn ceremonies.
Sedgwick Post No. 10, o: this city, is
making preparations for the observance
of the day, which, as it falls on Sunday,
this year, will be observed on Mondav,
the 3lst. On Sunday, May Sllth, should
the weather be suitable, tliftre will be a
nnion service, at Marion square, at I' :3u
'clock p. m., to which ali the churches
and-the citizens of Salem are invited. The
memorial sermon will be preached by
Rev. J. A. Hollenbaugh, pastor of the
Evangelical church, and short addresses
are expected from pastors of other
churches. Music will be furnished by a
choir, under the leadership of Prof. Par
vin. All old soldiers und sailors are re
quested to meet at the Tost room prompt
ly at 2 o'cioek, and join with the mem
bers of the G. A. K., in the services.
On Monday the Slst, the procession

The quiet wedding of Mr. I. L. Patter
son and Miss Mary E. Woodworth, at the

event not unexpected in social circles for
some time past.

begonias, marguerites, and the air was
fragrant with the breath of heliotrope,
geraniums, and other rare exotics.
The ceremony was performed by Iiev.
J Taylor Chambers, according to the
solemn and impressive ritual of the Epis
copal church. The bridal party stood in
the back parlor, separated from the guests
by a white ribbon, the background being
formed of branches of white flowers.
The bride wore a dress of white silk,
the skirt made of plain material, the
basque and train of ottoman silk, the
corsage teing made "pointed and filled hi
with crepe, and finished with real lace.
Long gloves, and slippers in while, and a
bouquet of orange buds and other rare
flowers, the handsome costume being
finished with a veil of creamy white tulle,
which had teen worn by her motler at
her own wedding, nearly thirty years ago.
The attendants' of the' bride "were two
young girls, Ella, daughter of Lion,
and Mrs. Edward Hirfch; who wore a
lovely dress of pink null's veiling; and
Hellie, daughter of Mrs. George A., Edes,
who was dressed in creamy white nun's
veiling, both appearing levely in' their
fresh girlhood.
The groom looked unusually handsome,
in dress suit, white gloves and tie, with
favor of lilies of the valley'. ..;
The congratulations that followed gave
evidence, in their warmth and cordiality,
of the estimation in which the young
couple are deservedly held the bride, by
her lifetime residence in iuit,, her native,
place, and the groom, who, though hut
for a few years a resident among u, has,
won for himself an honorable position
both in business and social circles.

served throughout the evening.
The many gifts in bric-a-brac, silver,
and glass, will ever be valued as memen
toes of a mottt liajipy occasion, and as an
index of the cordial estimation oi many
friends.
Among the many handsome costumes
worn by the ladies was a number of wed-
ding dresses, a rare compliment to the
occasion.

FKOM SATURDAY'S DAILY.
A Sad Enwno. Many of our citixens
will remember Miss Milltcia Pettyjohn, u
young lady, formerly a resident of this
city. She was a grand daughter of Mr.
M. C. Pettyjohn ; and for several years
made lier home with the family of E. L.
Bristow, Esq. She afterward married a
Mr, Roberts and removed to Arizona.
Her relatives not hearing from her for a
long while, Mr. Bristow, at thoir request,
wrote to an I. O. O. F. lodge in Tomb
stone for information concerning her. On
yesterday he received an answer from
Oochire Lodge, Ho. 5, I. O. O. F., of
Tombstone, conveying information of the
death of Miss Pettvjohn nee Rolerts,
which occurred at Risbee, Arizona, in
1833. ..Her death was a tragic one and
occurred at the time of the now almost
forgotten "Bislee robbery and murder"
which was fully mentioned in the dis
patches at the time of its occurrence.
When the outlaws were discovered in the
act of robbing a store, they commenced
firing indiscriminately upon every one in
sight. Mrs. Roterts, while standing in a
restaurant door, received one of these
shots and was instantly killed. The let
ter mentioned alwve, further states that
the husband, Mr. Roberts, soon after the
sad occurrence, closed out his business
and left that section and finally drifted
into the Ou-nr d'AIene mines, where he
has since died. The tragic ending of
"Lissie," as she was familiarly known
among her intimate acquaintances, will
lie deep! felt and truly grieved by a
large circle of relatives and friends.
Visiting the Schools. County Super
intendent Peebles returned yesterday
from another round among the county
schools. While gone he visited the
schools in District No. 7i, taught by Miss

Fbuit Chop. A. F. Miller of the firm
of Miller Bros,, is a gentleman who is
well informed on horticulture. Thurs
day he told a Portland News reporter
that the pear, cherry, and prune crop
win te very snort mis vear. ;Mr. Miller
said : "I have just made a short trip in
to Clackamas county and a portion of
Marion, and I find that pears are falling
on the trees. 1'runes will be verv short.
In the vicinity of houses the cherries
were protected from frosts, and a two
thirds crop is assured. Fifty feet distant
the trees bear no cherries. There will be
a good crop of apples and peaches. I
cannot tell anything about strawberries.

As Esoitifous Oruek. According to a
telegram from Port Townscnd, says, an
exchange, the Port Discovery mill has
received from Japan an order for ties to
the amount of lao.WD.OOO feet. An ad
equate conception of the size of this or
der can be formed when it is known that
the mill haa utjver cut more than 3t,ull0,

Coos river, by his skiff capsizing, on
Thursday, May Cth. The body was re
covered and buried by tiie A. O. L'. W.,
the following Sunday. Farrens had one
of the best farms on Coos bay.
The Insank Dam-k. A reporter of this
paper lust night witnessed one ,of the
regular dunces at the asylum. The dance
is for the diversion of the sunest of the
insane patients, of which there is quite a
number. Some of them dance very
well, while others only hop around, some
times keeping time to the music and
sometimes not. In the square dunces,
the quadrilles, lancers, etc., the figures
are jierfoimed carelessly, vet with a will.
801110 of the patients waltai very grace
fully, yet with tbo majority it is but a
respite from the confinement of the
wards, and a little exercise. A great
many of the dancers were quite a study
to the writer. One elderly .looking man
would, after each dance, station himself
in front of the music, pull down his vest,
put one foot a little in front of the other,
drop his arms primly by his side, his
uhin highly elevated, "and await for the
musicians to play somo "jig," when be
would try a double shut He, to be followed
or accompanied by several others. Only
mule took part in this dance. This same
man wonld then wall; jirimly across the
floor and ask one of the ieniale patients,
with all the grace and politeness of a
"gentleman of the old school," to favor
him with a dance, but each time to be
met only with a negative nod, or no rec
ognition from the blank staring eyes.
He would then walk, with all the statcli
ness possible to imagine, back across
the floor, to await the next jig.
This is only one of the many curious
characters in the dance. Women, who
would apparently tip the beam at more
than a hundred and seventy-live or two
hundred pounds, and whose years were
on the shady side oi iorty, danced as
lightly ami as joyously J as a girl ofscven-ti-en.
, A good many oi them have a pow
er of recognition mid several are very
sane on some sutijticts, but the minds uf
the majority of them ure blank. The
music is furnished by the attaches of the
institution and is very good. The hall in
which the dance is held is quite roomy
and has a good Hour. It is kept scrupu
lously clean and li -at, and the dances
which occur twice a week are the only
oasis in the desert life of the patients.
Something. Nkw kok Okkuon. A thun-
ber storm that has the gall to do any
damage is a curiosity in Oregon, and the
following is published as a "curiosity.''
It is from the Oregon City Enterprise:
"The thunder storm of last Thursday
was very severe in the southern part of
the county, and many accidents occurred
on account of it. We learn that Arthur
Kayior. who works for Oliver Bobbins,
or. the Molalla, was severely injured. It
Hi.; that he attempted to get out of
the . i n by driving his team under a
large t. e. After stopping his team he
got on; ' the wagon and sat at the foot
of the tree.- He had teen there but a

The "Prohibition" Rally. The "pro

band, consisting of either five or six
"prohia" who wore badges, and a num
lier of small Isjvs who wanted to hear
the music and see the fun. At the opera
Iioum! a good sized audience of people of
both sexes and all political persuasions
and ages was present. G. M. .Miller, the
"prohibition" candidate for congress,
spoke'Ht length, in about the same vein
us on Wednesday evening, abusing both
the old iarties, und proclaiming the ab
solute necessity of a third party, us the
only salvation of this land. He made a
good many wild statements, that be, or
any body el- could not prove, but on
the whole is a very lair M(eitker,
much , tetter tiian Butler, und much
poorer liian Hermann. He was followed
by Mr. Fioed, of the "Prohibition atar,"
w hose sp(Mfch had but one . virtue, that

, From Sunday 's Dally
Lust night was ono of the republicans'
night to yell, and they yelled. The work
ers of Salem Republican Club No. 1,
were busy all day preparing (or the rccop
t ion to that grand, good man, who, by
the grace oi God, und the strength of the
republican party, ui',1 be the noit gover
nor of Oregon, l lon.ThouiusR. Cornelius,
Before 7 o'clock, long lines of men, wear
ing the badge of the club, were seen
wending their way towards the court
bouse, soon the band came up, und took
its stand on the conjunction of State und
Cottage street. The column was then
formed in two long lines on either side of
the street facing the road-wny, through
which the carriages were to pass.
While waiting the coming of the car
riages, the band discoursed several lively
pieces, and a proosul of three cheers for
the Salem Republican Club was resound
ed to with a hearty will.
At about T :'-'! p.' m. a line of dust rising
in the air. foretold the comiug of the
guests, iiikI soon the band, preceded by
one of that race nnd color, so much the
despised of the democracy, which was
freed by the glorious dug be bore after
long years of slavery, bearing the stars
and striives, the Hag "of the Cnited States
took up its march playing "Marching
Through Georgia," dovi through the
long lines of republicans on the street.
Behind followed a carriage drawn by six
horses, carrying the present governor,
and the next, with the president of the
evening, und Hon. II. L. Marston, nom
inee for treasurer. This was followed by
two cubs drawn by four horscK each, car
rying Hon. Geo. W. Mcilride, nominee
for secretary of state, and the reception
committee. A long line oi private car
riages and buggies came in next, alter
which the Salem Republican Club, No. 1,
six hundred strong, began, a counter
march, falling in on the right, und march
ing through the center, till the entire
procession stretched out 11 distance of
four blocks, with the footmen ia double
rank. As the carriages passed through
the ranks, cheer after cheer rent the uir,
und made the welkin ring.
The scene was really inspiring u the
long line passed along thu utreut, all in
excellent spirits, with none oi the old
determination to succeed nor the strong
party utliliations weak in their breasts.
As the procession filed puot Liiierty street
ou State, three rousing cheers tor the
grand old republican party filled the
ethereal surroundings, and the presence
of the people's friend. Judge Wuldo, on
the corner of Stale und Commercial,
bruught forth mure cheers. In fact,
cheering and a glorious, buoyant spirit,
was the order of the evening while the
procession was moving.
One noticeable and an always welcome
and inspiring feature to tiie members of
the grand party of jience and war, was
the long, dense lins of ladies which ex
tended from the t.ri-ig jsmit, clear
around to the uor.i n .use. The ladies
were and are ever the same staunch
friends of the republican party.
The oiera house was far from capac
ious enough to hold all w ho wanted to
hear the sjieaking and large numbers
were turned away. The stuge was drap
ed with the national Hag, and the stage
was beautifully decorated with' flowers
loaned by Mrs. C. S. Kockentield from
her green house.

After appropriate music by the band,
Gov. Moody introduced Cul. T. R. Cur-
neliuh, candidate for governor. Mr. Cor
nelius said he was not a public speaker,
bur there were a few things which needed
explaining. He wanted it understood
that while he was a republican, aud bud
always stood faithiully iy the principles
of tiiat party, still lie would nut oe a jmi
litical governor in cam; ol an election,
lie would be a govorner for tho people oi
the slate, lie reienvd to ins record,
which I'ennoyer usnuii.-d, nnd when bo
H.ud he was proud o. i;, he was heartily
cheered. He did not seek thu nomina
tion ; it was a iree-wiil offering. lie was
not a monoMlist or a railroadman, lie
referred kindly to his opponent, Mr. I'en
noyer, but said ho could not approve of
his record.
Geo. W. Mr Bride the secretary of
state, was introduced, and said be was 1
sorry Rufus Mallory could not be pres
ent, as he expected. He referred to lion.
Dinger Hermann's record, and hoped his
able efforts would be appreciated. He
said there are issues in this state, und
referred to the eight years of democratic
rule before the eight years of republi
can rule, just now drawing to a (dose,
comparing the one with the other, lie
said in those last eight yours the debt
had been reduced '.over iiJI),0l)0, the
asylum built und equipped at un expense
,ot over $1S0,()U), and the credit of the
stute taken from the verge of .bankruptcy
and placed on a sound bawis; besides the
tux has been reduced from 7 . mills
in 1K7K, to 3 und seven-tenths mills in
l&Si. I lo referred to the prohibition
movement, aud took the same stand us
taken by the Statesman, presenting fig
ures to show that the prohibition legisla
tion has been retarded and hindered, rath
er thun assisted by the third party move
ment. A. N. Gilbert introduced . Henry I,.
Marston, candidate for state treasurer,
and commended him to the support of
all the people. Mr. Gilbert said he had
been a candidate for the same olllcn bo
fore the convention but was not now.
Mr. Marston emphatically denied that he
was a ring candidate, und the eoplc who
beard hiiu don't believe be is. If he was
the candidate of a ring, it was the grand
republican party of the State.
Frank C. Buker, candidate for state
printer, spoke briefly, and thanked the
party for recognizing the laboring men by
placing him, the representative of a body
of organized labor, on the ticket.
l'rof. K. B. McKlroy presented the fu
