ISBSESWHBiBgMawaa MNIBshHIBHQMHPI 14 THE FTrTSBTJRG- ' DIHPATOH, , SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 20, 18Mi Tlotory at last perehos on the 'banners of a rtnrdy band of Lawrence vlllo comrades who started out five months ago to organ ize a new post. There vi oro those of courso -who said It could not be done, and the odds were fcar t ally against the ambitions veterans, bnt on last Tuesday, after many disappointing de lays and a wearisome wait of weeks, they received word from Department Comman der Boycr that the application had bcea granted and to go ahead and prepare for muster. The cause of the movement for a new post Is pretty generally tnown now among the comrades; how strained relations grew In that big family known ai Poat 41, which had dwelt so loac, peaceably and prosperously together: how the two factions could not longer live In harmony together and how one side thought the Dest av out of the difficulty the way that would be to the best Interests of the organization would be to withdraw and form a new pot. The strong prejudice against encouraging factional troubles by granting a charter to a seceding faction, was an almot invincible obstacle in the way of workers for the new pot, but all barriers were broken through, all objections put to rout and the victors held their im pregnable TJOition successfully. The De partment Commander, after herring both sides, left the matter to a commission of prominent local comrades, who, after care ful deliberation, unnninioasly decided in favor of the applicants. The charter list of the new post embraces the names of comrades who woro for years leading and active members of Tost 41. They aro wedded to the cause, are faithful and loyal and may be depended upon to make the new post one of the best in the depart ment. But the new organization is not wholly dependent upon veterans who have previously belonced to the Grand Army, for a number will be mustered at the organ ization who will then don the bronze star for the first time. There will bo about 40 members at the muster in and they expect the membership to be at least 100 by the time of the Department Encampment meeting hero in February. The muster ln.which will probably he held In Union Veteran Legion Hall, on Sixth ave nue, i ill be a bijj affair. Eemg such on un usual ceremony in this city it will attract great attention. Host of the comrades thought tnat the day of new posts in the city was a thing of the distant past and that one could not possibly get a charter. The comrades who will compose the new organi zation will meet to-morrow evening In the parlors of Comrade Price, on Thirty-ninth street, where arrangements for the muster in will be made, officers nominated, etc. Comrade William O. KusseH, of Post 151, will iroro than likely bo the mustering officer. Monday night will be the regular meeting nieht of the post, if it be satisfac tory to all. The comrades have op tions on two halls in Lawrenceville. The outlook for a strong organization is ex cellent. Following is a partial lUt of mem bers the new pot will start with: J. B. R01.9 P. C.; A. J Reid, P. a; George S. Wood, P. C.- D S. Blackburn, John Atkinson, Will lam R. Prvce, John Tucker, James Black, William Watkins, J. Stormer, J. Horn, Will iam WcWilliams, Charles Gross, William Gunderman, J. Dickson, J. Miller, George Meyers, John D-alzell, Charles White and others. Homestead 51 onnxnent Dedication, The Homestead monument dedication last Thursday w as in tho truest sense of the word a success. Great credit is due the comrade of Homestead for the management of the afiair, but greater credit is their due for raising such a beautiful tribute to the fallen dead. A number of prominent com rades from Pittsburg were present in addi tion to tho members of Post 117, who turnod out in strong numbers. Post 1S1, of Brad dock; Post B9. of McKcesport, and Post 561, of Dravoburg, all turned out well. Post 2CS, of course, did itself proud. Tho boys marched well and made a nno appearance. Post Department Commander Dennlston was Chief Marshal of the parade. In the ab sence of Comrade W. D. Moore Comrade A. B. nay delivered the address of the day. Without preparation ho made a finished and entertaining address, which did full justice to the worthy subject. Some of the comrades will never forget the kindness and hospitality of Dr. Gladden, member of one of Pittsburg's Examining Pension Boards. He is not an old soldier, but his heart is as right as though he had fought In all our wars, for he entertained royally all the Pittsburg veterans bo could corral, taking them to his elegant residence and inviting them to a fine supper. Veterans on the Warpath. Sharon encampment, Xo. 53 Union Veteran Legion, has passed the following resolutions, relative to the retention of a portion of the pension money received by the inmates at the Erie soldier s homo. Whereas. The board of trustees of the Pennslania Soldiers and Sailors' Home, at Erie, Pa, at a meeting held at Harrisburg, Pa., on May 20. 1891, adopted resolutions confiscating to themselves lor the use ot tho home 80 per centum of the pensions of pen sioners residing at the home; therefor, be it Resolved, By this encampment that, while wo acknowledge that there are some cases In which pensioners do not make the best use of the money thev receive from the Government, o consider the indiscrimi nate confiscation of 0 per centum of the pensions of the inmates of tho home by said trustees as uncalled for, as beneath the dignity ofa great and grand Commonwealth llko Pennsyl ania. Resolved, That the promise to apply a portion of this confiscation to the support of the families of pensioners is misleading in that it promises nothing, merely saying that "they may at their discretion do so and so," and not that they will. Post 151'a Memorial Volumes. Tho formal presentation of Post 151's me morial volumes last Thursday evening was a happy occasion. The ceremony took place at an open meeting n the Eighteenth Street Methodist Protestant Church. Mayor H. L Gouricy, in a very fine speech, dehicred the books to tho post and Comrudo Mr. O. Russell answered in his best rorm, -nhich is excellent. Musio formed a portion of tho programme. It was furnished by Post 1578 quartette. Misses Carrie Tcrrant and Annie Orr and Comrades H. L.

Bcbchtield managed to get out to Homestead on Thursday before all w as over. Cohiu.de Pessios Agist Bekoocqh was at the Homestead Monument dedication on Thursday. Jcxior Vice Comjtakdeb Striqht, of Post 16i in his affliction has the entire sympathy of his comrades. Two comrades have been taken into Post 23G since September 1, viz Comrades Cook and McCormick. Past DEPAitTitErr Comkattdkh DEnTrarojr was Chief Marshal of tho parade in Home stead last Thursday. Comrade Jaws Moorhead is a new acqui sition to Post 3's membership list. Ho for merly belonged to Post 141, at Bradford. Squirrels in Washington oounty are very scarce. Adjutant W. E. Matthews, of Post 151, returned without getting any. Post 157 had no meeting last Thursday evening, having detailed itself to go over in a body and see that Post 151 had a good time. The remains of Comrade John Weaver, of Post 131, were laid to rest In Homewood Cemetery with Grand Army honors last Friday. Post 151 had a Tery short session last Tuesday evening, and adjourned to the Ex position to hear tho special musical pro gramme. Comrade Thokas O. Joites, of Post 238, will leave for Scranton on Tuesday morning to attend tho Republican League Clubs' con vention. Comkastoeb NichoIs of Post 162, fails tosee how his responsibilities increased on his re turn from Detroit, and says he does not pant after more. Three propositions for membership cheered the hearts or the boys of Post 83 last Tuesday evening. Commander Scott will ha e a good year to his credit. Ervest B Little, who was a private in Comjtany E,Third Pennsylvania Volunteers, Heavy Artillery, will learn something to his advantage oy caning at lue pensiua uiuvo.

Tnx Fourth and Eighth Regiments expect to attend the unveiling of the soldiers' monument at Pottsville, October L General Snowden and staff, with many other promi nent officers, will also be present.

The members of the Washington Infantry have decided on Tuesday, October 6, for their annual field day and rifle contest at Manor station on the P. R. R. Several medals will be contested for, and an opportunity will be given to tho members who were not at camp to qualify for marksmen's badges. Tho company will be the guests of the Manor Rod and Gun Club on the occasion. The camp pay of the Second Brigade was placed in the hands of the regimental com manders last week and most of the com panies were paid off at once. The money for the Fourteenth Regiment was received a few days ahead of that of the Eighteenth and Battery B, consequently the. vouchers were Issued to the companies ofthe Four teenth at the meeting last Monday night. Chicago Is still bringing up now schemes by which a grand military display can be made during the World's Fair. The latest plan, hy which she hopes to have 100,000 militia men from the various States attend the great fair, is the laying out of a camp ground contiguous to the fair grounds capable of accommodating 5,090 or 6,003 troops at a time, and to permit its use for one week by the different States in turn. It is said the scheme will be Dacked to the extent of $CM, 000. Battery B has now 83 qualified marksmen, six of them being sharpshooters. Lieuten ant Kimmel has been doing good work on f he range this season, and expects to have a hetter showing than any previous year. Had the battery been allowed to ship a full team to the Mt. Gretna shoot In plaoe of but one man, the artillery department would have been away up on the list. A sanad from the battery gave an exhibition caber drill at the Exposition last Tuesday evening and afterward action as a firing squad In connection with the usual programme. Two gatllng guns were brought into use, and owing to the inability to procure blank shells solid ammunition was used, the guns being aimed Into the river. The order emanating from Colonel Ostiums, tho general inspector of rifle practioe. relative to the disbandment of companies not qualifying at least 30 members, will be carried out this fall, at least so said Colonel Osthaus in a recent conversation with a local officer. Just whether Colonel Osthaus will issue the order himself disbanding the companies, or will kindly allow the Gov ernor of the State to discuss the matter. Is not known, but from the drift of his remarks in the conversation mentione 1, excuses for fulling below tho mark will not he received. Theie are a number of local companies that will bao togeta truly lcmarkable hustle on In order to avoid the ax, as the season is drawing rapidly to a close, and but a few weeks moro are now left for target w ork. The range of the Eighteenth Regiment, at Coleman Station, on tho Allegheny Valley Railroad, was completed last week. The distance from the city is seven miles, and it canalsobeieachedby the electrio cars, al though the latter way necessitates consider able of a walk. In a circular, the Regimental Inspector of Rifle Practioe states: "One tuousana rounds of ammunition will ue issued to each company on i equisltlon, and company commanders will be held responsi ble lor the return of tho emptv shells.

LITTLE POLES WHO DOST EN0WB00KS Industrial drawing is to receive very im portant consideration in Pittsburg's schools, and great interest has been aroused byMrs. Van Wagonner, the supervisor of drawing in the evening classes at the South School. Modeling in clay, scissors work and designs In colored paper take the place of the old fashioned drawing. The training of the hand and eye are now the pivotal points. The sphere, cube, cylinder and plinth, etc., are taught by actual formation from the clay. One school has ordered a barrel of clay from East Liverpool. In the paper cutting the pupils are first taught to form squares, then these in turn are so folded that with one dexterous whirl of tho scissors circles aro the result. In the drawing books Instead of drawing the de signs with pencils, tinted paper of different varieties are made to assume crosses and figures of varied shape and are then pasted over the designs, the baokeround of which has been prepared In dark colors. This gives great variety to the designs. The teach ing of color, Mrs. Van waggoner says is certainly a very important one and she ascribes the interest in most large cities to the question of color-blindness in railroad employes. She believes that pupils can be so trained as to eradicate the more prominent visionary defects in color. She says that the so-called color-blindness is much more noticeable In men than in women, and she elves as a reason that women are much moro interested in color than men, particularly on account of gay colors in dress. Will Not Hear Ingalls. Ex-Senator Ingalls Is a too high, priced personage to appear before the Pittsburg teachers. Superintendent Luckey opened a correspondence with the ex-Senator with the Intention of securing him to lecture at the Pittsburg Teachers' Institute. He re ferred him to his Lyceum Bureau, which re plied that Ingalls would come for $500. Superintendent Luckey, with bis usual sonsa of keen humor, sent word back that there are only two people in the world that could draw for that amount Blaine or Blsmarok. So the Bureau sent the names of other cel ebrities to replace the name of the noted man from Kansas. Chance for Missionary Work. Superintendent Luckey while speak ing yesterday of the great increase in the attendance at the schools of the eastern part of the city and the decrease in the old por tion of the city called attention to the fact that there are hundreds upon hundreds of Hungarian and Italian children in the old or lower portion of Pittsburg who have not yet seen tho inside of a school houso, or even the outside of a sahool hook. From day to day they roam the streets, their habits daily growing worse. Such ohildren he says ought to be compelled to attend school of some kind. Teaching Tonne; Housekeepers. Miss Ballon has added another inter esting feature to her popular cooking school at the Grant school. Heretofore the attention of the pupils has been directed to tho preparing of toothsome dishes only. She now proposes to instruct them in the preparation of the dining room, that is, the setting of tho table and other effects that have so much to do with the whetting of the appetite and the enjoyment of a good meal. . Gotilp of the Schools. The resignation of Miss Laura Boyce, of the Moorhead school, will take effect next Friday in vie w of her approaching marriage. Fon a week past the question among the teachers has been "When is pay day!" Sec retary Reisfar will hand out the all impor ant warranto Monday, September 28, Three months without a pay day leave the teachers' pockets in a very depleted condi tion. So popular is the Sloyd industrial system which Is being taught at the Forbes school, that every school in the city, nnd there are certainly many of thorn, has asked to have the system introduced next year for the benefits of its people.
