How the Day Was Hon-ored Throughout the

Country.

YER the en-tire country,those whoseduties do notentail uponthem the trib-ute topatriot-ism of strew-ing flowersupon th cgraves of theheroic dead,generallyseek a day'srecreationout of doorson .Memorialday. But suchrelaxationwas not to beenjoyed b v

the citizens of St. Paul and vicinity, asthe day opened up gloomy enough," andrained from early morn, at intervals, allday. Consequently numerous fishingparties had to be abandoned, and thosewho Intended to participate spent theday indoors reading a favorite novel,going over the book of household ex-penses or else indulging in a romp withthe little ones. '-; ,•:.•_.• Very little business was , attempteddown town, although a few real estatemen, with sure-enough bargains.loiteredaround their offices until noon. when theofficeho^s were gratified with an invita-tion to close up for the day, and there isnot a case recorded where a second bid- .ding was necessary. All the employesof the Northern Pacific . offices • weregiven a full day off, and. some of theother lines closed up at noon and theclerks helped to swell the crowds' on the•busy, .thoroughfares of: - commercewaiting for the parade of theveteran survivors of the war. Insidethe hotels there was a bustling throng.Few ' business houses attempted to ac-complish anything in the way of sales,and in the wholesale district it was asquiet as Sunday, all the shutters beingup and not even a proprietor being visi-ble. Everybody was in good spiritsdespite the inclemency of the weather,and the stay-at-homes patiently bidedtheir time and promised to make it upto the disappointed ones with future vis-its to the circus, races and Exposition.Probably the biggest crowd at any pub-lic resort in the city was assembled atthe turf exchange, where the base ballgames from tillover the country werebeing bulletined.

A sweltering, energetic, throng ofbackers of the different National andNorthwestern league aspirants surgedthrough' the rooms the entire forenoonand afternoon, and an immense amountof money was deposited in the poolboxes. Some of the sports only havesuch an opportunity occasionally, andthey made the most of it.

The orationwas pronounced by all who heard it aneloquent one. Itwas somewhat brief,lasting only twenty-five minutes. Witha peroration to the fallen soldiers, heconcluded:

You have met to-day in commemora-

tion of your fallen comrades. Vain theattempt of my feeble tongue to paythem a fitting tribute, Could we liftthe veil that shrouds the origin of paganworship, we would find that the imagereared by pagan hand and placed inpagan temple but served as the outwardform or expression oftheir worships ustas our own Christian faith is clothed infigure and paraphrase. Nations, likeindividuals, are [none to worship andadoration, and in all ages have builttheir temples and adorned them withthat which best told the story of theirachievements. Where their' greatnesshas rested upon the victories of con-quering legions, they have adornedtheir temples with the trophies of theconquest. If their battles have beenfor freedom, legend and tradition lend acharm to the heroism of their leader." THE AMERICANPEOPLEworship at the shrine of freedom, andin the temple of the American heart,placed in loftiest niche as best repre-senting their worship, they have placedthe form of the citizen soldier. Othernations have relied upon mercenarylevies, but America's greatness in warrests upon her volunteer. A nationborn amid the pangs of war, its founda-tion cemented with the blood ofcitizensoldiers. Rights denied us by a haughtyand arrogant power, won by the baveryof volunteers, and when amid storm ofcivil strife our ship of state careenedupon the mad waves ofcivil war, it wasupborne upon the bayonets ofa million volunteers. Fitting thenthat the American should bow before animage of the citizen soldiery. Throughthe providence ofGod and the braveryof our people we have lived to recordthe closing chapters of a struggle old astime. For the rebellion did not involvethe simple question of whether or notthe states should separate, but itwasthe final grand contest of man's effortto establish a government by the gov-erned. It is enough, and no higherpraise can be said of you than that inthe last closing chapter you played wellyour part, and no higher tribute can bepaid the memory of your dead com-rades than to say of them that they per-ished that freedom might' survive,, andsealed the eternal covenant with theirown lifeblood.

The male quartette 'then sang "Carefor Them Tenderly," and Gen. John B.Sanborn and ex-Gov. W. R. Marshalleach made brief remarks. Miss LenoraAustin recited the "Dedicatory Ode forthe Gettysburg National Cemetery," andMaster Samuel Dittenhoefer,"a child often years, gave a rendition of "BarbaricFrictchie." The exercises ended withthe singing of "America" by the entireassemblage and benediction pronouncedby Rev. Mr. Norton.

posts for the observation of Memorialda/ would be made useless by theweather clerk. But fortune could notbe so unkind, and though the clouds re-tained their threatening aspect, theylikewise retained their- raindrops, andshortly ', after .noon the organizationswhich were to participate in the paradebegan forming on Nicollet avenue and'1bird and Fourth streets. After somedelay the order to move was given andand the procession, viewed by thousandsof : interested spectators, passed upNicollet avenue to Tenth street,and thence by the most directroute to Layman's cemetery. The pro-cession, while not of great length, was amost creditable and interesting one. Itwas headed by a platoon of mountedpolice, followed by a squad of-patrol-men, after whom came the military de-tachment from Fort Snelling. com-manded by Col. Bentzony, of the Twen-ty-fifth infantry. The Fort Snellingband elicited many compliments by theexcellence of its music. The regularoroops consisted of one platoon ofLightBattery F, Fourth artillery, underFirst Lieut. Learv, and Company F(colored), Twenty-fifth infantry, underCapt. E. J. Stivers and Lieuts. Tullyand Frost.

AS DID THESE VETERANS,whose deeds have made forthem a placein Fame's temple and won for them anation's thankfulness. As the veteranspassed, each post with silken bannerand standard, the thoughts of old menand women turned back to days whenthe shrill call of the fife and the rattleofthe drum were familiar sounds, andthoughts of the loved ones who, withthese, had gone forth to battle and todeath, filled many sorrowing minds.Each year thins the ranksof the veterans. None can fill the placesof those who die. The Grand Armysociety cannot recuit its numbers as doother organizations. With the passingaway of a veteran soldier a place be-comes vacant on the muster roll, and itwillremain vacant forever. Year afteryear will the survivors seek the restingplaces of the dead, and there strewperishable flowers in loving memory ofheroes whose living deeds are lasting asthe aires. Every man of them, from thelow list private to the grand commander,every man of them is safe in the memoryof time, which knows not men, butdeeds accomplished. ._ .

"One afternoon I was down on thewharf below the boat house with my

I children," said Mrs. Gallagher, "andthey were amusing themselves wadingand splashing about in the water. Sev-eral other children -were with them en-gaged in the same manner, when some-thing caused me to look up suddenly.What at first looked to me like a coloredman floating in shore caused me toshout to the children, 'There is a manswimming toward you; come ashore.'My first impression was that some onehad jumped oil" the steamer," intendingto have a swim, and as I did not wantto see him land 1 naturally called to myChildren. At first they misunderstoodme, but eventually they saw the objectwhich was now several feet above thesurface of the water, and they screamedwith terror. Their : shouts evidentlyspared the serpent, for such it appearedto be, having a large flat head with whatseemed to be- bushy black hair, and itiashed the water violently and disap-peared. I was very much fright-ened, and *a party of fisher-men, attracted by our noise on shore,looked up from their lines, and as theydid so the' monster passed their boat.One of the ladies of the party screamedin terror, but the snake swam by with-out attempting to injure anybody.

Icould have at onetime hit the serpent with a long stick,for it was not further from me than thelength ofthis room, about twenty-fivefeet, and 1 distinguished its eyes to belight.

Washington, May so. — The an-nouncement that the first prize was_given the Loriiax rifles, of Mobile, Ala.,caused every Minnesotian to sink in hisboots. But when the adjutant generalcalled: "Second prize," '-Company D,First Minnesota, Rational guard ; com-manding officer, Capt. Edward S. Bean,forward," there was. a yell that madethe welkin ring. The boys had mademany thousands offriends and all werethere. As soon as all the prizes were .awarded the comp*ijies leavingthe field. The Lomax .-rifles remainedto give an exhibition drill. The atten-

drill, it was seen by too few. Had the ma-neuvers of last evening been on the officiallist, nothing could have kept a prize fromCompany Amen.

Congressman MacDonald was thismorning especially honored by a seatwith Gen. ltosecransin the carriage lineof the march to Arlington cemetery,where he participated in the ceremoniesofdecorating the graves. He returnedto camp just in time to see the prizesawarded. Competent judges say thefirst prize should have been given toCompany D; that the Lomax rifles usedthree click guns on inspection and thenused two click pieces for competitiondrill. This was not ..known when thedecision was announced and itnow saidthat if this fact had been known to thejudges Company D would have receivedfirstprize and the jLomax rifles consid-erably less, ifany place. ; - : .. . '

CONGRESSMAN MACDONALDgave a dinner at Wi Hards' this eveningin honor ofCompany D, who took sec-ond prize in the national drill. Amongthose present were Lieut. Col. Blakely,Capt. Bean, Sergt. Merrill and wife,Corporal Stack and wife and FrankHill of the war department. Beforeleaving the table following telegramwas penned by Judge MacDonald:To the Editor of the Globe.. Minnesota has again been honored by hersoldier boys. Company 1) has taken secondprize on a hard contest with the crack com-panies of the nations. St. Paul should beproud and accord them a fitting reception.

THE LOMAXRIFLES.Mobile, Ala., was worthily repre-

sented in camp and drill by the LomaxRifles, : which company, though onlythree years old, had already won an en-viable name for its excellence in drill.The company was organized after thegreat national drill at Nashville, andhas been in three competitive drills. Itwon first place in the "MaidenContest" at Mobile, in May,1885, over nine old organizations,and in the same year, at Nashville,won fourth place in the "free for all."In the latter contest all the great drillcompanies of the United States tookpart. InPhiladelphia, the same year,the Lomax Bifles drilled third, be-ing ranked next to the HoustonLight Guards and the MontgomeryGreys. The company was the only one atthe drill from Alabama' and the repre-sentative from that portion ofthe coun-try of the "New South." When a ques-tion was raised in the South about theparticipation of colored troops in thedrill, Capt. Davis came out promptlyand boldly, ridiculing any sentiment orprejudice on that score. The uniformworn by the company in the drill waswhite duck pants, dark-blue cadet coats,with pale blue facings, white belts, andno cross-belts, light-blue helmets, withwhitebuffalo plumes. j;..';_5 '.:'.':"~?TffE"TOLEDO CADETS.

CALLED THE ASSEMBLY TO ORDER,and after a brief introductory addresshe introduced Department Chaplain W.E. Stanley, ofAustin, who made an im-pressive prayer. After, the singing of"America" by the choir and company,Col. C. W. Johnson, the orator of theday, was introduced. He spoke of'"Ilie Veteran of 1801-5 and the Citizenof 1887." After a feeling reference tothe death of so many of the leaders ofthe late war during the past few years,the speaker turned his attention to theveteran of 1887. The address was farmore than a mere collection of beauti-fully made platitudes expressive of thesentimental suggestions of the hour. Itwas an earnest appeal for the livingsoldier. He reviewed the phenomenalhistory of the years immediately suc-ceeding the close of the Rebellion, toshow how the change from soldier tocitizen had been as successfully made asthe transformation from citizen to sol-dier. Having demonstrated his title to the

The addresswas an able one, dealing with a practi-cal question in plain terms, logic-ally. Itwas listened to with close atten-tion by the veterans, who defied a driz-zling rain to hear the champion of theircause.

a gigantic snake with two fore paws, orflippers, and a forked tail similar to thatusually delineated in representations ofthe prince of darkness, and in the mid-dle of the body were two gigantic fins,which at first glance, looked like wings.The dimensions of the monster weregiven as thirty feet in length and aboutas large round the belly as a full-grownman. .;. v.^ '.'•.;• -

Armed with the document and picturea representative of the Globe set. outfor Wayzata and was fortunate enoughto find, upon leaving the cars at thedepot, an eye-witness of the maneuversof the monster in the person of A. P.Dickey, at present engaged in buildinga bridge across Shafer's narrows, a pointopposite to Wayzata on the west. Ac-cording to his statement, several daysago while at work on the bridge withMessrs. George McLean and JacobSnow, the narrator saw what at firstlooked like a log moving down LakeMinnetonka from Cedar point.

"You will all say this is another snakestory," he said, looking around at agroup of open-mouthed rustics who hadbeen attracted jby the advent of . astranger and a note book, "but what Iam telling you Isaw with my own eyes.My companions ~on the image did notsee the thing, whatever it was, until Iidirected their attention to it, and finally"it came within 200 yards of us. Raising"its head several feet, for by this time itgave unmistakable signs of life, themonster began to thresh the water vio-lently, and \u25a0 at the same time floppedover, showing its white belly. This wasrepeated several times, and the time oc-cupied was fully five minutes. Frommy observation 1 should say that

IT WAS THIRTY-FIVEFEET LONG."Closer inspection made itlooklike the

head and fore-shoulders of an alligator,for it came within six or seven rods ofthe bridge before itfinally dived out ofsight, an<Lwe did not see it rise again."

All the tails were listened to -withthe deepest attention by the crowd nowgathered about the story-teller, who wasan honest-looking, well-dressed fellow,-and too much in earnest with his sub-ject to give the faintest suspicion of in-toxication. Then it occurred to one ofthe group that a lady named Thurston*had also said something about seeing amonster last Saturday in the lake. Awalk of a few minutes over a . pleasantstretch of sward soon brought theGlobe's representative to a brown-painted cottage on a bluffoverlooking'the lake and surrounding country. : - -j-j"

THE BELKNAP. KIFI.ES.From away down in Texas hail the

Belknap Rifles, of San Antonio, other-wise Company I, Second regiment, TexasVolunteer Guards. The company wasorganized in June, 1884, but did not re-ceive their arms until six months afterthat date, which makes their presentshowing still more creditable.Six monthslater, June, 1885, found them on the com-.petitive field at Lampasas, Tex., wherethey • took second place. Defeat onlyurged them .to greater effort. Theirnext victory was scored at San Antonio,Tex., October, 1885, where . they tookfirst place, defeating a number of com-panies which have since made recordsfor themselves. Their next victory wasat Galveston, Tex., August, 1885, wherethey emerged with second place. Thecommand has been called into serviceby the governor only once, which wasfor the purpose of quelling a l^exicanpolitical riot at Laredo, Tex., April0 to8, 1880. ' • . ~-v;. ;-

Atthe time of their organization theirpluck and evident capabilities attractedthe notice of Col. Augustus Belknap,an ex-officerof the famous Seventh regi-ment of New York and now presidentof the San Antonio Street Railway com-pany, who gave them his name, andlater added more substantial tokens ofhis appreciation. This company is calledthe "Kids"at home from the fact that itsmembers . range in age from seven-teen to nineteen years. The uniform ofthe privates is almost like the UnitedStates artillery full dress uniform. ; Itconsists ofa dark blue square-cut coat,reaching just below the hips, onerow oflarge state buttons down the front, redcuffs, red and gilt Russian shoulderknots; tail of coat trimmed with red,and gilt standing collar, with red centerand gilt edges; pants lighter. blue, withone and one-half inch red doeskinstripe, white helmets with red plumes,brass eagle and chain equipments;black belt with letter VI;"McKeeverboxes and bronzed -bayonet scabbards.The company; is entered for the com-pany, individual and marksmanshipprizes. . .".

;\u25a0*, ; THE SAN ANTONIO BIFEES.

The San Antonio rifles lay claim tothe championship .of the state, not by-mere courtesy alone,. but by their brill- .iant bearing on many :a well-contestedfield in their., native state.'. The rifles \u25a0

were organized . as Company A, Third "regiment, Texas volunteers, on May 20,1880, and, although young ;inyears, _they are old in achievements.They are regarded at homeas the . successors of the .famous \u25a0

Houstons, and this pre-eminence liasnot been conferred upon them, but hasbeen dearly won. They have carried offthe state championship in two success-

ful contests— first at the state camp atLampasus in June last, and then againin the following August at Galveston.At the inter-state contest which took;place at Galveston in August last therifles won the third rank, which placed,them at once among the veteran com-panies of long training and experiencein contests of this character.
