Captain Jehn Hamilton, et Lament, pre sented tbe report et tbe oemmitteo en monument at Gettysburg. He read the act et assembly authorizing the erection et monuments at a oeat et ? 1,000 each, te be pald by the state. Tbe Reserve association concluded that if monuments were erected for each regiment at Gettysburg they would be lest In the forest et monuments en tbat battle-held'. At the association meeting at Allentown it was agreed with una nimity that a memorial building should be ereetedat Gettysburg, by nstng for tbat purpose tbe f 1,500 appropriated te each regiment. The association took the view that It was net only tbe object of tbe law te show tbat the Reserve oerpi participated in tbe battleef Gettysburg, but that amemurlal bail ter tbe storage Ot relics et the reserves would be no violation et the law. Te satisfy the commissioners appointed te carry Inte effect tbe law a committee or tbe Reserves called en them and presented arguments te show tbat the erection of a memorial hall waa net contrary te tbe law. Tbe argu ments used before these commissioners were that the Pennsylvania Reserves while corps were a single command, and while It was a command it was made up of regi mental organizations, of which eaeh regi ment Is entitled te 11,500. Thtse commis sioners finally sent the following renolu renelu renolu tien, wbteh was adopted en September 3: FROM THE COMMISSIONERS. Retelvtd, Tbat the secretary be and is hereby Instructed te notify tbe representa tives of such regiments and batteries as have net fully co-operated with the com missioners as provided by tbe act et June 16, 1SS7, and the rules et tbe beard, te sub mit designs, specifications, inscriptions and statements et location te tbe secretary en or before Uoteber IS, 1888, that contrasts ter tbe erection or monuments te mark tbe position et these commands may be made wltbent further delay. Captain Hamilton attributed the action el the commissioners te petty spite, and said If they propose te carry Inte effect the reso lution he was in favor of letting them goon and put up the monuments, at whatever places they desired, and put en them such Inscriptions as they saw proper. One of the comrades suggested tbat a resolution be pawed, requesting Messrs. Harper and Nlohelson te resign from tbe commission. Captain Hamilton did net believe In taking hasty ao ae ao tlen. He rather favored sending an other memorial te the commission praying them te withheld action until tbe legislature meets, when proper legislation can be bad, whleh will aUew the Reserves te erect a memorial ball. W. Hayes Grler thought the commission ers engbt te give tbe Reserves time until tbe 15th et January te decide upon tbe kind et memorial te be erected, and It they refused te give tbat extension of time, he was In favor of allowing tbe commissioners te go ahead and erect what they pleased. TCeL Brady ettered a resolution centlnu. Ing tbe committee en memorial ball and that tbey be directed te persevere with tbe legislature and state authorities te seeure the necessary legislation te erect such a memorial building as may ba agreed upon by this association. A resolution passed by the Reserves re. aiding la Bloemaborg and vicinity was reed and adopted, JtMU forth tbat la their opinion tbe state legislature should pan an aet appropriating $20,000 te tbe Reserve association in addition te the 11,500 appro priated te each regiment by the eotetlRST. Governer Oertln favored the association laboring with tbe proper authorities until tbelr purpose is accomplished and a memo meme rial hall ereeted. Capt. Hamilton offered the follewrowaS-ajj olntlen : ejr Jteteivca, inat tbe Pennsylvania Reserve corps, in sessten at Lancaster, respectfully petition tbe governor of tbe commonwealth te use bis loilueeee with the Gettysburg monument commissioners te induce them te defer noting In the erection et monu ments for the said regiments of this corps until after tbe meeting et tbe next legisla ture, with a view et eeenrlna? aneh medlfi catien et tbe act et June IS, 18S7, as will permit tbe corps te ereet a Joint memorial.

The babies were placed en tbe sunny side of the tent ; there were no convenien ces provided for thorn or tbelr mothers ; no water, no retiring room, no nothing. And when the crowd rushed in en them by the thousands the peer little things were almost anflecated. Hardly one In a hundred of the visitors oeuld even obtain a sight of the little ones, though they struggled through the orewd with a heroism that did them great oredlt. A large majority of thtsstrug gllng mass el humanity were women and the ernah of bustles must have been enorm ous. Toey crowded right up under the noses et the bablea and annoyed them terribly.
