A man recovering from a mysterious illness is coerced into a hasty wedding as his supposed fiancée Rose plots to gain his fortune. The brother reveals the ruse and memories return on June 24 1900 as officers arrest Rose, unmasking Mag Smith the confidence woman. The scene shifts to brief notes on insurance, marriages, and oddities from Bavarian horse insurance to a fortune born from a forging accident.

The piece recalls Memorial Day when Gen Grant, on his deathbed in New York, heard the old G A R veterans marching by to honor him. He rose with effort to see the flags, receiving their salute as bands played and his once mighty hand raised in acknowledgment before falling still.
The American Tribune notes the Union army under Sherman consisted of 37 infantry brigades, three cavalry brigades, and four artillery brigades with most infantry led by colonels or below.
