CHICO. Cal., June 23 (by Associat
ed Press).—The custom of observing
an annual Memorial Day was institu-l
ted in 1868 when General John* A. j
Logan was commander-in-chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic, ac
cording to Justice Norton D. Chipman,
of the third California distr'ct court
of appeal who then was adjutant gen
eral of the organization.
“In May, 1868,” said Judge Chipman
in an article written for the Chico
Enterprise, “I received a letter from
a comrade residing in Cincinnati, O., I
suggesting that in some of the coun
tries of Europe it was the custom to
strew with flowers in the spring time
the graves of the heroes who had fab
len in defense of their country and
asked if some custom would not be
appropriate to commemorate the ser
vices of our comrades who had given
their lives that the nation might not
perish. Upon reading this letter there
seemed to me to open up a great op
pcrtunity through our organization to
institute observances which might
growr into a custom that would help
to advance its great objects and at
the same time to be a fitting means
of perpetuating memories of our de
parted comrades. I made a rough
draft on May 5, 1S6S of general orders
No. 11, and took it to Gen. Logan at
the house of representatives, who
promptly approved of its issuing and
added also to wrhat I had drawn a
paragraph and directed me to issue
the order at once. My object was to
have the ceremonies come in a spring
month, but to postpone it to a date
which w’ould give opportunity for
flowers to mature. The 31st day of
May that year fell upon Sunday and
»o I named May 30.
■“The order was given to the Asso
ciated Press and was sent as rapidly
as telegraph and mail could reach
the north and west.. I think the
order reached California by pony ex
press.”
Judge Chipman sat upon the plat
form when Abraham Lincoln deliver
ed his immortal adress at Gettys
burg.
Edw'ard Everett of Boston was
orator of the day. according to Judge
Chipman, and Lincoln had been in
vited to say a few words. After the
address at their hotel, Chipman was
standing by the president when the
latter said:
“I congratulate you. Mr. Everett, on
your masterly address.”
“Oh, Mr. Lincoln,” Everett replied,
“you said infinitely more in five min
utes than I did in my two hours.”
SOUL OF ‘FOUR HUNDRED’
LAID BARE BY ACTRESS
ON SCREEN AT EMPRESS
The great emotional actress, Flor
ence Reed, comes back to the screen
in “The Wives of Men,” a strong, in
tense drama which affords wonderful
opportunity for her rare talent. Mag
nificently staged, the scenes are laid
in New York City, and the story is
one of vivid life as it is lived today—
life that deals with both the “upper”
and the “under” crust of society—
laying bare the soul of the “four hun
dred,” and of the tenement dweller.
Playing opposite Miss Reed is Frank
Mills, whose work is exceptionally fine
in the rendition of a heavy and diffi
cult portrayal. The balance of the
players are well cast. Sensational,
vital and gripping—it’s a play long to
be remembered. Showing tonight and
tomorrow a* the Empress.
