OXB SCEOEKBERGER RESIDENCE: PITTSBURG CLUBHOUSE.
The tragedy Happening at the close of Fri
day night's festivities at the Pittsburg Club
forbid a detailed account of the gayety
marking the reopening. The house of pleas
ure was so suddenly nndawfully turned into
one of mourning that it seems but respect
ful and in good taste to leave it so. By this
time Miss Katherine Shaw's sad death has
been told, with all its affecting inci
dents, at every fireside in the
two cities, and nought remains now
bat to speak of the deep sympathy
felt for the family weeping round their dear
one's coffin this morning.
The story of Death is one on -which the
story of life must always wait, and the re
opening of the Pittsburg Club is therefore
Ignored in the presence of the dread visitor
who, without introduction or invitation,
crossed its threshold on Saturday morn.

As the Department Encampment ap
proaches the Interest increases. The Ex
ecutive Commltteo mot last Tuesday even
ing and aecided to meet hereafter every
Friday till tho Encampment. Great Interest
was shown at Friday night's meeting, at
which there was a full attendance. Com
rade William O. Russell submitted tho
badge finished in different ways. The com
mittee made a selection. Only enough will
be made to supply the Encampment, then
the mold will be destroyed. ,This will mako
the unique badge more valuable, and it wiU
be prized so much more.
The Execntive Committee Is to be divided
into three divisions during the encamp
mentexecutive, reception and, liotel each
of whlcli will be designated by a certain
color of ribbon, so that the visitors will
know just whom to go to when they want

Not a Begglne Scheme.
There should be no misunderstanding
about the proposed banquet to the delegates
to the Department Encampment and the
distinguished old soldiers who will be guests
of the local Grand Army pouts at that time.
The banquet is intended to be entirely a
citizen's! affair; it is proposed by the citi
zensand is to be tendered by the citizen
It is not a begging scheme of the local
Grand Army men, but is prompted by men
outside the Grand Army, whose patriotism
is rejuvenated by the recollections that
this coming great gathering produces In this
particular locality which wns such nn im
portant point during the Rebellion. Though
the Grand Army men would not ask lor a
penny for the purpose, they are, of course,
ready to do any work that needs to be done
and will take off the citizens' shoulders as
much as possible in that way. The banquet
in ftself wonld be nothing to the distin
guished veterans who will be here at tho
encampment, but the feeling that prompted
it will be highly appreciated and enjoyed.

Durino the past month many inquiries have
been made as to the anthority of the Presi
dent of the United States over the National
Guard of the various States. The President
has full authority to call the militia of the
States into the service of the United States
whenever he deems the emergency suf
ficiently gTeat, and be alone is the judge of
the. necessity. When called into such serv
ico it is subject to precisely the same au
thority as the regular army, and must go
wherever ordered. There areannmberot
views on the subject, and the matter has nof
been practically tested. Of course a call of
any kind would be mide through the Gov
ernor of the State, and tho Governor would
determine as to bow to bet meet tho call
within the limitation of time fixed by xthe
President.
