Decoration Day Properly Observed

Citizens of Syracuse and Vicinity Pay Tribute to the Nation’s Heros. Decoration Day! The day of all days when all patriotic people of our nation pay homage to the sacred memories of heroes dead, those who went forth to do and die that we might enjoy the liberties bought by their blood. The day is sacred to and looked upon by a mighty nation as a day set apart to strew flowers upon the graves of the departed preserves of our nation and show our appreciation to the living, one for the preservation of the Union and the liberties enjoyed by it. That dav has past again for the 40th time and the citizens of Syracuse, and vicinity in accord with the spirit of the occassion gqge vent to its patriotism by turning out enmass to add its mite to making the occassion a memorable one. The ceremonies of the day begun at one o’clock with a band concert by the new Syracuse band ably assisted by several members of the old band. Immediately following the band concert came the exercises at the opera house. The opera house and speaker stand was profusely decorated with flags and bunting of the national colors.

WILL USEJLECTRICIH. In line with the improvement Mn. passenger service on the Baltimore &|ohio railroad,the New York & Chicago Limited, Nos. 5 and 6, also the Pullman equipment in the St. Louis Limited, Nos. 1 and 2, will be electrically lighted, beginning with the new schedule effective May 29. About three years ago the Royal Limited trains between New York and Washington were electrically lighted throughout while dining and official cars have been so lighted for many years. There are many advantages possessed by this method of lighting over any others rendering it especially adapted for lighting railway equipment of all classes. Until recently, however, the art of electrically lighting passenger equipment cars in general was not sufficiently advanced and well established to warrant its general ad option except on the better classes of limited trains operated as a unit between terminals In the electrically lighted service the Baltimore & Ohio railroad has inaugurated a distinctive feature in the placing of berth lights in the upper as well as the lower berths of the Pullman cars This feature will add much to the comfort of those desiring to road after retiring. The system of electric figuring used on the New York & Chicago Limited trains is known as the head-end system; electric generator being placed in the forward part of the baggage care and propelled by steam supplied from the engine. Each car in the train is equipped with storage batteries, current for the lights and charging the storage batteries being supplied from the generator in the forwaid end of the baggage car. A distinctive feature of this system as applied to the New York & Chicago Limited trains is that each car in the train is

man of the exercises announced the first number on the program, a a ‘chorus by the choir, following this the invocation was said by Rev. W. M. Johnson, pastor of the Church of God. Following theHnvocation the choir rendered another vocal m umber after which Lee Cory, gave a declamation on “Memorial Day” ending the same with a recitation entitled, “The Field of Gettysburg.” The young man’s talk was both interesting and instructive and his delivery fine. Following Mr. Cory, Major Marsh in his own pleasing and characteristic way introduced the speaker of the day, Rev. Carpenter, who for nearly an hour held his audience in rapt attention as he spoke of the patriotism of the men who without price or promise had laid themselves as a sacrifice on the Nations alter, that our glorious country be not divided and so that we might enjoy its liberties: With Fra Albertia’s word “God will not look you over for Medals Degrees or Diplomas but for Scars,” as a basis for his address the speaker told his hearers how God, the-all-wise and all-seeing Judge of the Universe would not overlook the sears of the vetrans who hacl battle against evils when passing judgment. With an earnest appeal for recruits in the Great -Masters army to do battle aganist evils that are depreciating the health and morals of the present generation the speaker closed his address.
