MEMORIAL DAY.
Its Observance Will Be Kept ‘Up After
the Soldiers Have Departed.
Thirty years ago, when General John A.
Logan, then commander in chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, issued the‘
order designating May 30 as Decoration
day (since changed to Memorial day) and
called upon the members‘of the posts to
assemble intheir halls, march to the ceme-
teries and with appropriate ceremonies
strew flowers ufln the graves of the de-
* parted soldiers, he did service for his coun-
try only second in value to that country
to his deeds as a regimental, brigade, di-
vision, corps and army commander. That
year, 1868, the Grand Army was new, and
its members composed of young men.
There were no gray hairs, dull eyes or bent
forms then. These young men the day
before gathered blossoms and deposited
them in their halls. 0n the 30th they as-
sembled, formed line and marched to the
cemeteries, lovingly placing the blossoms
of spring upon the graves of their former
associates, sang a patriotic air and dis-
banded.
From that small beginning in 1868
Memorial day has grown to be one of the
most impressive and useful of all of the
holidays. The ceremonies introduced at
the call of Logan three years after the war
have resulted in thousands of patriotic
sermons, preached by Jews and, gentiles,
Protestan and Catholic; théfisands of ad-
dresses, many of them by the first orators
of the nation; beautiful, impressive and
attractive cer monies in nearly all of' the
public and pr vate schools yearly.
In these memorial ._ceremonies there is
an entire absence of evérything calculated
to disturb the harmony between the people
of the north and the south. On the con-
trary, they are of such a character as to
bring closer together the people of the
north and the south, the east and west,
and center their hearts and minds on the
one great country and its one beautiful,
much meaning emblem, the stars and
stripes.
There may have been a time when the
ex-soldiers of the north and the south en-
tertained fears that when they left the
stage of action Memorial day ceremonies
would be abandoned. That day passed
long ago. The veterans, looking through
dim eyes, and some of them through tears
of gratitude, see swinging into line the
national guard, the republic’s new army,
millions of school children, the churches
and great numbers of other citizens, to
take the place of the old armies mustered
out, to perpetuate the valuable and beau-
tiful Memorial day ceremonies—Chicago
Times-Herald.
A TRAITOR’S DEATH.
Fate of an Informer Who Betrayed the
Plane of His Fellow Prisoners.
“There were some traitors even in the
Union army, ” remarked a veteran. “I saw
one of them meet his end, although I 'was
sorry to see him die in just the wayhe
did. '
“It was at the rebel-v-i’prismi at Camp
Sumter, one of the worst prisons used dur-
ing the war. The prisoners, of course,
were always planning escapes. That was
all we could do to relieve the monotony of
prison life, and while it was-probable that
any attempt we might have made would
have».,-been unsudce‘s'sfulpytt‘ we- did 5--not

were trying to do, for they were none ‘too
gentle with us at best. . |_
F‘SOmehcw Or other, though, the prison
made 'out',.a,nd we were at a loss to discov-f
or who hadbetrayed us, until one day we
caught: ‘a Union soldier who had been,
nicknamed Chickamauga giving informa-:-
tion to one of the guards. When we up- :
braided him. be weakened and began to
cry, saying that he had told on us in the
hope of getting his own release thereby.
There were hundreds of men in the prison
at that time, and we made the poor fel-
low’s life miserable for him from that
time on. We refused to speak to him or
allow him to speak to us, and it was not
long before he began to feel the disgrace
deeply“ . -
“At Camp Sumter, as at most of the
rebel prisons, there was a dead line—that
is, a low wooden fence inside the walls of
the stockade, beyond which no prisoner
could go without incurring the risk of be-
ing shot. > The guards had orders to shoot
every prisoner who crossed the dead line,
even though he put only his hand across
it, and they usually carried out the order
with eagerness. .
“One day Chickamauga crawled undo
the dead line and begged the guard to
shoot him. The guard was more tender
hearted than the usual run of them and
refused. He pitied the man and ordered
him back inside the’lin'e. A day or two
later Chickamauga, determined not to
endure the silent contempt of his fellow
prisOners any longer, crawled under the
line again, and when the guard again re-
fused to shoot him he began to taunt and
insult the fellow until he ‘worked him up
to such a pitch of exasperation that he
raised his rifle and fired. That was the
last of informers in that prison for awhile,
anyway. ”—Bufl’alo Express.
A General Carried theFlag.
It is the duty of the enlisted men, ser—
geants and corporals to carry the cOlors.
When in the emergency of action an officer
seized the flag, he passed beyond the line
of duty and oftentimes earned a medal of
honor thereby. At Chickamauga General
Steedman took one of the regimental flags
and, rushing far to the front with it, ex-
claimed, “Boys, I’ll carry your flag if
you’ll defend it!”-—-New York Press.

FAMOUS CHARGERS RIDDEN
GREAT GENERALS.

Battle Steeds of Grant and Sheridan—Phil
Kearny’s Moscow and Kilpatrick’s Cali-
- .co Horse—Custer Had Seven Mounts Kill-
ed Under Him—Lee’s “Chunky” Gray.
General James Grant Wilson, in his
story of “Famous American War Horses,”
has rescued from loss many interesting
facts and preserved for the future much
valuable information concerning the
horses rode by the generals of the civil
war. Cincinnati, the famous battle steed
of General Grant, was presented to him by
a citizen of Cincinnati, who on his death-
bed sent for the general, than on a visit to
that city after the successful'siege of Vicks-
burg, and gave him the horse on condition
that he should always be treatedmkindly.
Grog-t. accepted the horse, naming him
incinnati. Itis'glgimed that he was a
son of the thcroughbred and great four
mile runner, Lexington, that he had run
in several races, had a fast record, and
that the general was subsequently Offered
$10,000 for him. This was the bay horse
that Grant rode almost constantly during
the campaign of the Wilderness.
Soon after the close of the war Cincin-
nati was retired to a farm in Maryland,
where the general frequently saw him and
where he died in September, 1874.
During the war Grant also rode a thor-
oughbred from southern Illinois named
Egypt, and one called Jeff Davis, which
was captured on Davis’ plantation in Mis-
sissippi. fl .
When Sheridan took his famous ride in
the valley of the Shenandoah, immortal-
ized in verse by T. Buchanan Read, he
rode a black horse, with small star, 5 years
old, named Rienzi, which had been pur-
chased in Michigan by an officer of the
Second Michigan cavalry and was preSent-
ed to Sheridan when he became colonel of
that regiment in 1862. After the famous
ride and the battle of Winchester the name
of the horse was changed to Winchester.
During the war he was in 90 battles and
several times slightly wounded. '
.Writing of him in 1876, Sheridan said:
.“He is over 17 hands in height, power-
fully. built, with, a .deep chest, strong
shoulders, has a broad forehead, a clear
eye, and is an animal of great intelligence.
I rode him constintly from" 1862 to the
close of the war, in all the actions and in
all the raids, as Well as campaigns, 'in
which I took part. He was nevereill,'-rand
his staying powers were superb. »' At pres-
ent he is a little rheumatic, fat andrlazy.
and so long as I live he will be well taken
care of.” .. .,
That brave officer, General PbilipKe'ar-
ny. rode a 'handsome'and spiritedwmte
horse named Moscow, but generallycalled
by. the soldiers Whitey. Kearny lostian
arm in the Mexican war. and .whenwish-
ing to draw "his sword would take the
reins between his teeth. The general also
rode a light bay called Decatur, which was
shot through the neckat .the battle offlair-l
Oaks, and a" brown. known as" Bayard,

Sheridan once referred to him as “Kil'pata

General Custer was one of the most ac?-
complished riders of all the generals ofithe'
army, and in his four years’ service inlthe-
civil war he had seven horses killed under:
him, which it is believed is a larger npm-g
her than was lost by any other leader of
northern troops engaged in the war.. Dun-f
ing the war Custer rode'a great many
horses. Among them was a thoroughbred
stallion of great speed and spirit named
Don Juan. Jack Rucker was a beautiful
bay, which the general acquired while in
command of the Michigan brigade, and he
rode 'him in a large number of battles. .
Custer rode Jack Rucker at the battle of
Five Forks and was on him when be de-
manded of General Longstreet the surren-
der of the southern army. Dandy, a horse
purchased in Kansas, was a special favor-
ite with Custer and ridden by him on
most of his Indian campaigns. The ,last
horse which Custer rode, when at the head
of part of the Seventh United States cav-
alry in the horrible massacre of the Little
Big Horn, June 25, 1876, was a chestnut
thoroughbred named Vic, from Kentucky. ‘
After the lamentable death of the flaxen
haired soldier General Custer’s father, at .
his home in Michigan, would spend hours
at a time in the stable with one of the .
horses his brave son had ridden during the
war.
General Robert E. Lee had one favor-
Ite war horse, Traveler, which he rode
throughout the entire war, having pur-
chased him in 1861, and he rode him on-
the day of the surrender at Appomattox. f
Sheridan, who saw Traveler that day, de«
scribed him to General Wilson as a “chunky
gray horse,” yet he is said to have been
over 16 hands high, a little above half
bred, of great courage and kindness, not
possessing speed and carrying bis‘head'
well up. For five years after the war,‘
while General Lee was president of Wash-
ington and Lee university at Lexington, ’
Traveler was ridden almost daily by the
illustrious soldier of the Confederacy.
horse was the thoroughbred .mare Vir-
ginia, which he rode during the battle of
Gettysburg. In the general’s last battle,
where he was mortally wounded,-he rode
a gray horse. Another he had was a hand-
some bay called Bullet. ’
General Wade Hampton ' had several
horses killed under him, during the war.
Described as one of the finest horses in the
southern army was Beauregard. a magnifi-
cent animal of great boldness and spirit, '
16% hands high. Of him the general
writes: “He was wounded at Gettysburg,
mortally, at the same time that I was.’
When I was taken to the hospital. Beaure-
gard, after being .Insaddled and unbridled,
followed me there, lay down outside and
died.’.’, "
One of the best known horses of the
southern army was tlze beautiful 'dapple
‘ ‘graymnre with white tail and mane,
named Nollie Gray, the favorite war horse
of General Fitzvllugh Lee. She waskilled .
in the battle of Winchester. _ ,

cle, is silent regarding Sherman’s famous
horse Tecumseh. that he rode fromAtlans

If the lang'uaggof Iihiicgy'ric may be ap-
propriately used when referring to the
leaders in statesmauship and war whose
genius directed the movements of the citi-
zen soldiery who gave their lives, if need
be, that the nation might be saved, what
language can be used, rich as is our vocab-
ulary, that shall give due praise to the
humble heroes who slumber in forgotten
and neglected graves, _ whose ashes are
mingled with the southern soil “to mix
forever with the elements,” and also those
who happily survived the mighty conflict?
As we look upon their waiyfaces, their
empty sleeves, their bent forms, their gray
locks and their unsteady stops‘we cannot
forget what they suffered and endured,
or possibly compute the debt of the na-
tion’s gratitude toward them. What rhap-
scdy of words could be employed that
would do full justice to these modest he-
roes, who did not receive the rich rewards
and emoluments of the fortunate ones who
shone conspicuous in military trappings
and “the pride, pomp and circumstance of
glorious war?” was
Theirs not to reason why;
There’s but to do and die.
Would that the government had the
gold of Midas and could fairly distribute
it among these battle scarred veterans,
who are many of them steeped to the very
lips in poverty, prematurely old and gray,
waiting, only waiting, for the call of the
angel of death! As we look at our banner
of beauty and glory, as we give the hand-
shake to our comrades and bereaved ones
who never saw their beloved soldier boys
come back, we are almost overwhelmed
with the memories that cluster about this
day—proud memories of many fields, sweet
memories alike of valor and friendship;
sad memories of fraternal strife, tender
memories of fallen brothers and sons,
whose dying eyes looked last upon the na-
tion’s flag; grand memOries of heroic vir-
tues sublime by grief, cxultant memories
of the great and final vi'ctories of our coun-
try, our Union and the righteous cause,
thankful memories of the deliverance
wrought out by human nature itself un-
exampled by any'former achievements of
arms; immortal memories, with immortal
honors blended, cluster about these men,
make this day commemorative of their
achievements and weave themselves along
the warp and woof of our glorious banner.

'GOING TO THE WAR.
An Old Soldier Tells of .His Departure
and His Return Home.
“My last recollection of the 'camp in
which we were mustered in," said the old
soldier, “was of my mother. We had been
‘in camp for days, for weeks, in fact, fill;
ing up the regiment and drillingand get-
ting equipped and getting ready generally.
Finally we were mustered'in, and the next
day after that we started. ‘ .
“It Was nightfall when we fell in for
the lasttime in the company streets of our
first camp and marched out and formed
on the color line. There was a great crowd
there, relatives and friends and sightseers
come to soothe regimentoff. In front of
my'own company I could see my father
.:and mother, come to see the last of their-
:boy before he went to war. I was the apple
fjof my mother’s eye, 'I knew that, and I
Chad expected to see her break down com-
pletely when the regiment marched away,
but she stood as firm as a rock.
. , f‘When the regiment came home, we
Smarched up through the same street that
'Zwe had marcheddown years before—night
again it was, too—with a band of. music,
.wlth fireworks flying everywhere, and
with crowds on the sidewalk cheering, to
the town hall, where there was a banquet
and a speech from the mayor, and so on.
When this was nearly over, my father and
my brother, who had come to meet me,
went to tell my mother I was coming.
, “Home was half a mile or more away.
A bunch of us. men of the regiment, start-
ed from the hall together. They fell off
one after another until finally I Went on
alone along the familiar street. It was
bright moonlight. Far ahead at the cor-
ner of the street down which I must turn
for home, I saw her. She was waiting.
“When I had come to her, she lifted up
her hands and pronounced my name.
That was all. And then her arms were
about my neck and my old blue overcoat
was wet with her falling tears. Her son
had come home.”—l\'ew York Sun.
Reverence For Valor.
Let this be our anniversary of reverence
—reverence for fortitude, patriotism, lib-
erty, union. for the supreme surrender of
home, happiness, life and love which those
who died in these wars endured. They
bad faith. They died for their faith. No
higher tribute can fell upon their graves.
With them, for us at least, there .is no
death, no departure, no separation. These
honored dead are with us as when we
cheered the resolute column which went
sweeping to the wars. They will pass in
review before the shades of their mighty
captains as they did in the old days. What
they did is our own. Their achievements
' are our heritage. Their valor is our pride.
Their example is a legacy beyond that of
ranscms or principalities. The one tributc
we can pay them is in the veneration with
which we approach their graves. And
from this veneration let us likewise take
. and cherish that noblest lesson of patriot-
ism for which they gave their lives—John
Russell Young.

There are far fewer of the gray to re‘

which are decorated today not only con‘
tain all that is mortal of men who per-
ished on the battlefield, but of hundreds
of those who were taken from the cares of
this world years after the sounds of strife
had ceased. It is the principle of the Grand
Army of the Republic as well as of the
Confederate associations that any member
thereof shall be honored in death with the
same tribute that is paid to the comrades
whom death claimed during the war.—

The Brave Color Bearer.
A giant color bearer, with a voice like a
bull, saved the day at the battle of the
Weldon railroad. The fighting had been
of the_hott6-st, and. in spite of themselves
the ’Union soldiers steadily had been driven
a back. The officers had striven desperately
to rally them, with no success. Suddenly
, the big color sergeant waved the flag above
his head and began to sing, “Rally Round
the Flag, Boys!” The men caught the in-
spiration. One after another they caught
,up the refrain until all we‘re spiging.
They foughtlike fiends as they sang, and
they forced the Confederates back—Ex-

ing, under the management of Mrs.
Carrie Cossum,‘ for the benefit of the
N oroton Presbyterian church. . The
attendance was large, considering the
storm, and those who went were very
much pleased with the program,
which reflected much credit upon Mrs.
Cossum and, in fact, upon all who par-
ticipated. Mrs Arthur Dodge of
Sound Beach and Walter Houghton of
Stamford rendered vocal” selections,
which were receivedwith much pleas-
ure. Mrs. Frederick A. Hubbard fa-
vored the audience with mandolin
solos, which were greatly appreciated.
Her son acted as piano accompanist.
The violin soles of Miss Florence
Sammis of Stamford were very charm-
ing and were well received by the au-
dience, as was also that wonderful in-
strument known as the Schleicher
Pianist. This played the most difficult
music on the piano and, at the same
time, furnished organ music. This re-
cent invention is truly a marvel. It
was manipulated by Homer Klock, and
received repeated encores, as did all
the artists.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
church are preparing for a fair to be

the Darien line will leave the Stamford
depot-at 10.42 o’clock in ‘the evening.
The last car will leave the Darien line
at 11 o’clock. This makes it possible
for a person to get a car twenty min.
utes later at each terminus of the
Myrtle avenue line of Stamford. The

table and will meet all of the cars on
