The following is the address of Rev. ‘3' FatherSlocum, to the two G. A. R. E Post’s delivered at St. Mary’s church! last evening and stenographically re-': ported for the DAILY GAZETTE: .1: My DEAR FRIENDs:—I am sorry that we have not a little more seating cagf' pacity here, for I suppose that more: than twice the number the church can, accommodate have come out to-night.;," I do not know of any more encou‘rag-‘yg ing sign that the people have at heart‘d the memories of ’61, than to see on a]? occasion like this, so many,thirty year 1, after that time, keeping alive In thei ;. hearts and memories, the war for tha- Union, and halting at nothing, coming here in such numbers to do honor td those who fought that the nation might live. I am glad to see on here to; night, you veterans of t e civ11 war;- proud to be with you; look into your faces and realize what that war meanté. Probably there is no subject that is of greater interest or greater benefit for us to consider, than the subject. of the sacrifices that were made by crti‘ zens of this country in order that this country might live and exist on the principles laid down by the fathers. I intend not to make a political speech, but in what I have to say to consider how religious sentiment wrought upon the minds of the people of this couné try and upon the soldiers in teachlng them that they had duties as well as rights. No man can be true to his creed without being true to his coun- try, and the man who is true to his country is true to his God. . Isuppose the first memorial serwce that we read about anywhere inhistory is in the Old Testament in the second book of Maccabees where we read the account of that great soldier and great commander in Israel sent to J erusalem; after collecting together, twelve thous- and pieces of silver to bear the expense of a memorial service for those soldiers who had fought in the war, and as the scripture says, to remember them as well as that God might “accept theses: riflc‘e which they hac made in behalf of their country. The custom which we now celebrate or keep sacred in this country on Memorial Day is one which bears a great resemblance to another ancient history. It is founded upon a Catholic custom of “All Souls,” cele- brating oncea year the feast of "‘ All Souls’ Day.” That day being the sec- ond of November when Catholics throughout the world gather together in demonstration and offer up prayers for the souls of the ones who have gone before. You may say, “how has that anything to do with Memorial Day as kept in this country?” Memorial Day as kept in this country came first from the confecleracy. Their day found 01'1- gin in the city of New Orleans. New Orleans having been settled principally by Catholics always keeps alive, the same as in the European countries, the custom bf on the second of November going to the cemeteries and leavmg there a wreath upon a grave. his cus- tom is now observed in New Orleans, and has been ever since its foundmg fly the Spaniards and early French set- ers. During the war the pride and man- hood of the city went out to fight for the confederacy, and as a great South- ern writer tells us, it was a sad day when the young manhood of that city were separated from their famihes and enlisted in different regiments and marched together up the Mississ1pp1 to meet the army of General Grant. They went up the river and got as far as Shl- . loh where Sidney Johnston and his fol- lowers laid down their lives before the victorious armies of Generals Grant and Buell. These gallant soldiers were the first to march to the war, and when the last day of the battle was over, Sld— ney Johnston and thousands of young men whose dear ones were at home, and whose thOughts were of them on the eve of the great battle, lay dead to.- gether, and they brought their bodles back to the city and through the streets, and carried them out and laid them s1de by side in its cemetery. On the scoond of November those whose hearts were stIll. bleeding for their brave ones went out with their wreaths and their flowers and laid them on those graves. .It was a beautiful custom, but owing to the scarcity of flowers at that season of the year, they changed the day to the 30th of April. Those whose fathers, hus« bands and sons fought for the Umon took up the custom, and the colder North adopted the 30th of May. That day has become a national holiday and is one of the most sacred that this country celebrates. There is no day that means more to those who know what made it, In a sense that it brings back the recollec- tions of those who fought ~in the war ; they live it all over again on that day, and visions of the battlefield and of 'some brave comrade who fell, appears 1n the mind’s eye and they live over again the scenes of the war. There is patri- otism in celebrating this day, and as the years go on other generations w111 sping up to maintain and take the places of these veterans ? But the gen- eration to come,can never fully see and realize what has been done by those who lived and died that this country might live. What a glorious thing it is for you veterans to recollect and re- tain in your hearts the fact that you live and have fought with suchhonor to yourselves. Passing away so rapidly, your ranks are being thinned, but I trust that it will be many a year before the last face that I see before me W111. pass away to join the comrades on the “silent camping ground.” ‘ ‘ : l l . i bel ion. ' Father Slocum’s Patrlotlc Address; if i As I look back over the: scenes of the iwar and consider its real-significance, :I think It means a great deal more than ;.most people appreciate. “ Eof the nation, either in this time or 1n 'the past, more to remind men of their ,,country and ‘of their duties as citizens ‘.and as soldiers than 1n the trials which- ?"é'u‘n: ’ endured during the war of the re- wdr the government has another and stronger right arm whlch it reaches“ , out, and every man whether he willor 3gnot, has to shoulder‘his musket and be- come a soldier. , Thus they are forced. ‘Every man must go, but in "this coun- §try my dear friends, we see perhaps for "the first time, at least in this century, an army springing voluntarily from the people. This nation was looked upon We had no standing army and our force of 22,000 men was viewed with de- rision by foreign powers as too small a. force to enter into a War. But what was the grand result? An army of men sprang up as if by magic. They were ready and willing to , ie forjthelr country that this Union-might live. ~Theywere not discouraged by defeats and long marches and by the many other trials that beset their paths. Instead of be- ing discouraged by defeat it woke up their ire and made them allgthestrong- er. There never WBB‘jII. any army, in any body of soldiers, a more patriotic, manly feeling than in our entire army during the civil war. They ”fought against the Confederacy andwhen the war was ‘ over they - were willing to meet their foes as brothers. I was told an incident by the Bishop of Connecticut, who was present, that when Stonewall Jackson was killed and all the Union 'bands on the other bank of the Rappaharihgckmtonce rosponded and the funeraliliiusic of the ' bands of both armies floatefd together overStone- wall Jackson’sbf'e'r. .' : -' 1 There was no animosity or hatred, but they were recognized as” American sol- diers and brothers. ' You ‘may take those thousands onsboth sides‘who went into the war' men, but became such .grand soldiers,——men who emerged from the factory and field—men who left their homes for the trenches, and yet who became Soldiers par ewecllcnec and when the war was oVer, they as promptly returned to their former vo- catlons. . . Connecticut furmshed 54,000 men, who will look back upon that fact with pride. I remember the time, (I was only a small boy,‘) when Connecticut’s first regiment, fully equipped, went to the war. They were one of‘ the first regiments to arrive in Washington, and the first to fire a shot at Bull Run, as well as the first to plant their banner on the walls of Fort Sumter, and there were no battles of the war but what a Connecticut rerriment was present, and while first in the field they were the last troops to leave it. I remember when Gen. Sedgwick went away and when his body was brought home. I remember and honor the name of the hero whose name One of your posts bears, Connecticut’s great war governor. I also revere the name of him which the other post bears and whose body to-day lies among the un- known dead on the field of Gettysburg. I am sorry that there are living to- day any who think that a Catholic as a soldier, cannot be trusted by Amerlcan citizens. When there was fear that France and other European countries were about to, recognize the Confederacy, who that man, raised up by God to conduct our war and direct its armies, Abraham Lincoln, despatch to thwart such pur- poses but Archbishop Hughes of New York, the man who, when the draft riots were terrorizing New York city, had himself borne from his death—bed to the window and adjured them to de- sist, denouncing their conduct as worse than that of the enemies in our front. If Phil Sheriden,—Grant’s very thunderbolt in the war, that noble and brave soldier—had come to Norwalk after the war, and been nomi- nated for constable, thereare those, fear, who would feel obliged to vote against him on account of pledgesmade behmd closed doors because he wor- shipped at this Altar. I hope that I have not tired you and trust that sometime I may have the pleasure of seeing you again and I ex- tend a hearty welcome to you all. In conclusion let me assure you that as a Catholic can raise his strong right arm to wield a sword. The services ended with singing by the powerful choir and audience of grand old “America.” ‘- 0.. An Expensive Leakage The water leakage was located in the main at the Brady crossing, and a large force of laborers went to work on Sat- urday as soon as the water was shut off. It was found that. the water pressure had been so great at some time or other, as-to force the packing out of a joint, and Borough Engineer Wood es- timates that the leakage must have been about twenty thousand gallons 9. day, but he has no means o'f~ knowing year or twenty.

Interment was in St. Mary’s cemetery, Rev. Father Slocum kindly donating a lot for that purpose. . o The Gazette Would Like to Know Where did Officer Gormley get that Hat ? Where “the boys” got their “jags” yesterday? What struck "Broady” Cahill in the car stable? Whether Tim Healy was riding the bicycle yesterday or the bicycle riding Tim ? Whether reporter Thomas will be mistaken for the ghost train as he flies about on his bicycle? Who stole the Grant street highway sign board, from off the big maple at the junction of Belden Avenue ? Who stole Sim Keith’s Kohinoor, satin necktie and shirt- collar, Saturday night ? ————-<+ Oil, Not Turpentine. Referring to the story recently pub- lished in the GAZETTE in regard to Benjamin Franklin quieting the trou- bled waters of a pond, in apparent imi- tation of Christ’s miraculous achieve- ment, Dr. Maclean gives us a version of the matter somewhat different from that published. The Doctor says that his father was at church on the Sunday mentioned, when the sermon was upon Christ still- ing the waters. Franklin, who was stopping at the tavern where Mr. Cowles’ house is, on the Green, was at church and heard the sermon. After the service he said to several friends, “I can do that, very easily; I can still the waves.” They all went out to a little frog- pond located on the Green, and Frank- lin waved his cane over the surface of the water and the 'waves went down instantly. . This was in the days when there was great excitement in regard to witch- craft. When the on-lookers saw what Franklin had done they were mystified, and it began to be whispered that he was doing something that would indi- cate that he was a witch, and all looked askance at the old man. Then he explained. His cane was hollow, and filled with oil. He had simply demonstratedthe scientific truth that he had by study discovered, that oil poured upon troublous “waters will at once make them calm. —————-———-<+ G. A. R. Notes. The turn-out of Buckingham Post, last evening to attend St. Mary’s church was the largest in numbers which has ever occurred on any public occasion, there having been fully one hundred ' present. In the Douglas Fowler Post procession were about fif- ty comrades. It is estimated that there were packed, seated and standing, from eighteen hundred to two thousand persons and that nearly as many more were com- pelled to go away unable to gain en- trance. '; Father Slocum’s " address was an earnest and fervent expression of his own patriotic feeling and a conclusive defense against any charge of want of loyalty on the part of menof Catholic faith, either past or present. Father Slocum had a brother who served through the war and he himself enlisted in a 'Litchfield County Regi- ment but was denied admittance to the army because of his extreme youth. A most enjoyable feature of last night’s service, Was the creditable per- formance of St. 'Mary’s choir under the directorship 30f Edward E. Brennan, who ably presided at the organ. Mr. Brennan went out to the war as a mem- ber of our gallant Seventeenth Con- necticut Vols. Mr. John . Weil of f South Norwalk, sang a bass solo, while the ,Misscs Lizzie Murphy and Mary Bracken sang soprano solos and Miss Kate Sange- lin an alto solo, which with B. Tully as tenor and a chorus of some twenty voices, made the musical feature of the evening one of rare merit and enjoy- »ment. . ’ . . A liberal collection was takenat the close for the benefit of the needy sol- diers and their families under. the care of Buckingham Posit. ‘ ' ‘ Indicted at Lass. DEs MOINES, May 25.—’I_‘he federal grand jury has returned indictments against J. J. Kellogg, E. R. Hodges and S.'J.--Kel~ logg, of Washington, 1a., for using the mail for fraudulent purposes.

It was their plan to secure young men to act as detectives, charging them ten dollars for a certificate stating that they were members of the Washington Detect ive agency, and with the certificate went a nickel plate star worth probably fifty cents. Evidence was brought before the grand jury showing that the concern had taken in as high as $400 in one day from the young men of the country who wen anxious to gain fame as detectives. Jackson and Corbett May Fight Again. SAN FRANCISCO,May Sta—A telegram wal received from New Orleans by Jim Cor- bett from the Olympic club offering l purse of $12,000 for a fight with Frank Slavin. Corbett answered that he would be in New York in two weeks and would then state his intentions. He says the probabilities are that he will not engage. in another contest for a year, when he will be larger and stronger. In an interview today J aekson said he was perfectly will- ing to have another go with Corbett but he had promised to fight Goddard in Ann tralia if the lattn' wished a match, and he expected to hear from him within the next ten days.
