In the line of march were also a full representation of Ited Men. the Klnnlah Hrotherhood and a large num ber of cltlacns. The Kalrwa band occu pied a position about midway In the line. As the procession Hied down Commercial street and back on IMmne street, to Four. leenth. the streets were lined with ad miring crowds of people. At Fourteenth street the school children were dismiss. ed. aa the cllmt) up the long hill wna thought to be too hard for them. Not a hitch occurred In all the arrangemcnta, and the entire celebration went oft smoothly.. AT THE CEMCTERT. Crow ils of people neacmhlod at th. old city cemetery at th. top of Fifteenth street hill long before the procession reached there. A the head of the col umn reached the grounds all maintained an attltued of attention and sought post tlona about Ihe gravea of the dead sol diers. Entrance was made at the west gate, the band taking position at on. side, playing the beautiful funeral march written by Miss Kelly for the occasion, whilst the members of th. Urand Army marched between the divided ranks ot the Red Men and the Finnish Hrother hood orders. A circle waa formed about the gravea, the O. A. K. In the center, with the firing equutla and bugler at one side. The usual Impressive service Of the Q. A. R. waa read: a prayer wa made, and then tho Rev. Mr. Wolter de livered an eloquent patriotic address. Among other thlnga he said: "This I. one of th. great opportunities of Impressing upon the minds ot the young people the value of the result ot the war of the rebellion. Lt us take ourselves back to where these veteran stood, and we will recognise that one ot the chief corner stones of our nation' life Is the unity of the nation procured1 through their heroism. I am persuaded that there Is not a man here, who ever he I or how ever long he has lived In thla country, or from whatever nation he came, who la not thoroughly In ac cord with th. principles of liberty and union here commemorated. There are not foroe enough, either In th. heaven above or the hell below to destroy this great country. It ha most encouraging schools, headed by tho board of educa tion. The Inculcation of tb. principle of patriotism and love of country In the hearts of the young la a sacred religion duty devolving upon every parent. I'pon tho teaching of these principles largely depend the safeguard of the nation. Thla memorial sen-Ice or the Urnna Army of tho Republic Is no new thing. Twenty-three hundred years ago, upon the mounds covering tho slain bodies ot myriads of Oreclnn soldiers, stood thnt great orator Pericles nnd delivered 0110 of the finest orations ever heard in the world, eulogistic of tho slain heroes upon the fields of Mammon nnd Thermoplyre. The particular custom of strewing flowers upon the grave of tho dead sol- llers originated back In the sixties amongst the freedmen of tho 8011th, who In deep appreciation of the services ren dered them by tho soldiers gathered wild flowers lo spread over their graves." Following the address, at the command of Captain Whcrrlty, three volley ot musketry T.-sre fired by the militiamen of his command, and when the solemn tones of tlur bugle sounded tho service closed, the procession returning to the city down Fifteenth street. One pathetlo Incident occurred a the column reailhed Exchango street. . An old white haired veteran stood on the porch of his residence viewing the par ade In which Ml falling health prevented him Inking part lints were lifted, thi procoi-iun halted, and the Kalevu band play.,! the stirring str.ilna of "Marching irougn ururgu. There wa not one In the throngs upon tho streets who dlu nut appreciate, the sentiment evinced by Ihe touching Incident. AT aUEK.NWOOD. At J.JO o lock In th. afternoon. In ac cordunce with the announcement, large crowds gathered at the Telephone dock to avail themselves Of thv Invitation ex tended by the Orewnwood association to visit that beautiful burying ground. Th. special occasion was the ceremony of th. Knights of I'ythhu In decorating th. gravea of Ihelr departed member. Hun dred crowded upon th. decks of th4 Telephone and nearly all were laden with flowers with which tb decorate tha last resting plac of friends. The t'nlform rank of Knight formed at Courthouse square, and preceded by the Military band marched to the boat. Little Charley ( levrland waa the standard bearer and carried aloft the Hturs and Stripes bound In mourning. When the Telephone left the dock she had on board tat passengers, and the run waa quickly made by thl powerful steamer to Greenwood. On a high bluff overlooking Young' river I aituaU-d Greenwood cemetery, Its (loping grounds are beautifully dec orated with growing flower and shrub bery. Alt Is trim and neat and show much care nnd expense In It keeping. Vesterday the grounds were decorated with archea, flags and bunting. Th. simple ceremonies of the Knights, they marched from grave to grave and did honor to each dead brother mem ory, were most Impressive. All who ac companied them sient an hour In bright ening with flowers the gravea of friends ami relative who 4.d eroewed the fiver before. During the ceremonies the hand played "Nearer. My God. to Thee," and tome, riwect Home," whilst the na tional colors were planted by the stand ard Itearer at each grave of n departed Knight. The return trip wua made at 1 o'clock. GREENWOOD CEMETERY Out on the hillside cold and drear. In silent graves He frlcmls so dear: Friends who have gone to the grent le- yond Rt 111 hold our hearts In friendship's bond. Rome have passed the prime of life. Have endured their shure of sorrow and strife: . Ami now they mingle with the blest and good In the silent city called Greenwood. From the respected old to th new-born babe Are lying at rest 'nealh th. trees' shade; Each day they are added on. by one To their rest In Greenwood they dally come. Rome mother's son, some husband' wife, Each lays down the burden of life And are laid to rest with the blest and good In that silent city called Greenwood. From day to day, from year to year, Some one ride In an honored bier: Somebody's darling, some!ody's pride. Their race run, have sickened and died And now lie burled where the river flows, While the chilly blast of winter blows; Soon the warm south wind. In a sunny mood, Will waken flower that grow In Green wood. Alna! that death," 'twill surely come; How quickly our span of life la run! For soon this piece ot bleeding clay Will rest In Greenwood cemetery. Neath the pine trees protecting shade Our feeble bodies will soon be laid. Forever 'twill II. with th. blest and good n the silent city called Greenwood. AT FISHER'S OPERA HOC8E.

Comrade Walter, Just returned from his outing In the mountains, in a com ical mood, gave some amusing pictures of th actions of recruits at the pr-t amell of powder, and his remarks met with outbursts of btughtnr by the entire audience. Spoi-e will not permit the publication In full of either Jiulge Cleveland's or Prof. Wright's addretw. The following opening sentences of Prof. Wright' peech will Indicate It eloquence: "W are admonished by the scene of this day and the purpose of our gather ing here this evening a well aa by all history of human experience, that there are principle that can never be sub verted, truth which never die. Second only in Importance to the doctrine ot Him who "spake as never man spake la the system of political truth which proclaim th. equality of man and ele vate him out of the scale of being Into which the tyranny and despotism of cen turies had plunged the world' maaae. "We join her. tonight to celebrate th. occasion of the birth of a race to free dom, the preservation of our Union, and to honor the heroe whose courageous might and willing sacrifice, kept Inviolate for you and me tb. heritage of our fore father. Thl annual assembling of our people to strew flower upon the grave. of the dead, recount the deeds of valor, And extol thoae yet living.

"Th. nation which most carefully pre serves the memory of It chieftain ana herol: founder and defenders, and which keeps constantly In mind th. high- eat object of all government, namely th. good of It Individual cltlxena. la tb. nation which shall endure." FOR MR. LYMAN. Mr. Editor: Kindly allow me space to reply briefly to an article tn your yesterday (Satur day) paper, signed Democrat." Allow me to say first that the very tone of the article named ought to elect 8upt. I.ymun. I think I speak the sentiment of the teacher of Clatsop county when 1 say that Supt. Lyman has fulfilled th. duties of his office faithfuly nnd efficient ly: that he haa advanced the standard of our schools a no man In hi office has done before: thnt he has the confidence of the teachers: that he I eminently qualified In every respect for the work be is now doing: that he ha held teach er Institutes regularly. In fact, has In every way worked to the best Interest of our teachers. More than that, "Dem ocrat" attempts to slur Pacific univer sity and the Oregon summer school. Such treachery to the best educational Inter- eats of our slat, should meet, at th. polls next Monday, the condemnation It de serves. Supt. Lyman deserves th. credit for or ganising the Oregon summer school at Gearhart Park. Being now Intimately associated with that school I say that It primary object I to make better public school teachers; to elevate th. character of our work as teacher. As to the merit of the school and the Influence for good, I need only mention the name of some associated In the work Pres. Chapman, Eugene; Pres. Campbell, Mon mouth; Prof a Lloyd and Ferrln, Forest Grove, and many others. Suffice It for this time to say that the best Interests of education at this time demand th. election of one familiar with the work, one familiar with our public schools and their needs. I have nothing to say against Rev. Schmidt, Supt. Lyman's op ponent, but certainly all will condemn the spirit In which "Democrat" must have found himself when writing his ar ticle for publication. Yours for the best Interests of Clatsop county schools, R. N. WRIGHT. SHIVELY SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT Th. splendid and varied entertainment to be given In Fisher's Opera House on Tuesday night by th. pupils of the Shlve ly school promises to be one of the suc cesses of the season, and a very large audience will no doubt be In attendance. Among the large number ot special fea tures will be two that are particularly worthy of mention. One Is th. athletlo drill presented by several of the boys and embracing many excellent maneuvers, while the other I the sparkling little comedy "A Box ot Monkeys." This play Is one of the funniest and cleanest light comedies ever produced. The performer are all well known amateur and are bound to make a hit The athletic exer cises will Include several novel point and the young people who make up the class have become so proficient that they will be able to do their work In a faultless manner. The object for which the funds to be derived from the entertainment are to be devoted Is such a worthy one that none who have at heart the welfare ot Astoria' public, schools can refuse to purchase tickets.

A terrible panic, resulting from th. great crush ot people at the popular feast her. today, In honor of the coronation of tne Czar, caused the trampling to death of many people.

Post-DHputch thl afternoon prints a statement which very materially modifies all pervious es timates of the aggregate Ions by the hur ricane of Wednesday. The article says: No estimate of the financial lorn, sus tained by this city fnm the storm ap proaching a correct figure nearer than several million can be prepared at least for a week. But It I already evident th.it the representation of lo equalling and sometime exceeding SUMK),ls) ar a unfounded upon fact a are the re port printed by many foreign paper that the loea of life would reach thous and. These statements made In the midst of Weird and vague Impression or tha night of the storm and the succeed ing day might temporarily be allowed to pass unchallenged: but now that St. Loul has partially recovered It com posure and set Itself to the task of resto ration, exaggeration should be done away with and the measure of relief fitted t. the actual condition. The Post-Dispatch estimate th. total property loss at llu.OW.Ouu. Police Com missioner J. A. Lee said: "St. Louis does not need at present all the aid she can get Our own people who can afford to do so will help, and their aid will be liberal; but I claim that no sum smaller than half a million dolKrs will be adequate to relieve th. lack of food, clothing, household equip ment and shelter."

GOLD IN THE BAY STATE. Uncovered by Men Who Were Blasting Rocks Above th. Street Boston, May SO. Workmen who were blasting for building stone at West 8om- erville uncovered a ledge of gold and silver bearing ore on Thursday which assayed at 21.14 a ton. The ledge is located on a part of what I locally known aa the old Tuft estate, an acre In area, which waa bought a few week ago by True W. Townsend, of Somervllle, with the Idea of develop ing It for building purposes. The ground rises six feet above the grade of the street and he began reducing It to the level. Looking over some ot the broken stone Mr. Townsend noticed several bright pieces. He showed them to a friend, a mineralogist who declared they were valuable. Mr. Townsend gave a specimen of ore to S. P. Sharpies, an assayer. of this city, who found that It contained In each ton 320 ounces of silver, worth" a current rates tlWs.40, and 1.10 ounce of gold, val ued at 32174. a total of 3221.lt. Lead, sulphate of copper and gray cop per were also found In the specimen. Examination shows that the vein 1 about forty feet long and fifteen feet deep. At the top the vein Is only halt an Inch wide, but widen to seven inches at the bottom. Old Inhabitants say that some year ago a man named Emerson, who operated: the Tuft farm, spent much time in pros pecting, with little success. THE FATES FORBID. Whltelaw Reld Think Mike DeYoung a Good Man for Vice-President, San Francisco. May 30. Whltelaw Reld left for the East tonight after a six week' stay at Millbrse. He talked poli tic to the Chronicle before leaving, and gave It aa hla opinion that McKinley would be nominated for president on a "thorough-going, honest money" plat form. When asked If the Republican would do nothing for sliver. Reld said : I "The Republican have always been j eager to do everything for silver consist j ent with preserving the parity of the ! metal, and the soundness of our cur ! rency. At that line they always har. j stopped, and at that line they will surely stop now; and tbe so-called silver states would be among the first to regret It IX they did not" When asked about the vice-presidency, Reld said he was not a candidate and that there were no Indication that tb. nomination waa seeking htm. He sug gested Thomas B. Reed as the Ideal East ern candidate, but asked: "Why don't you newspaper people here, who are constantly demanding recogni tion for the Pacific coast, put up a can didate for yourselves? Why not stand together for once and present DeYoung or OUs?" KATE FIELD DEAD. INFECTED GERMAN BEEF. STAMP AGENCIES, There are now tour (tamp agencies in this city. . Agency No. 1 J. W.

Berlcin Trades Exhibition In the Institution devoted to the sale ot cheap food. The Infected meat came from Mecklenburg, and not from Amer ica, which country the German argarlan politicians profess to regard as the place of origin of all the diseased meat In the world. In spite of the dictum of Baron von Hanunersteln-Loxten, Prussian minister of agriculture, domains and forests, that It Is Impossible to prevent the Importa tion of foreign animals, the provincial governors have one after another closed their boundaries against the adjoining provinces on the ground that the animals raised In them are Infected with foot and mouth disease and aliments of that kind, and now the frontier ot Prussian Silesia ha been closed against Russian hogs.
