WASHINGTON. ID {.
The Commauder-in- Chief left Washington
On Monday of last week and reached Spring
field, Ill, on the morning of the 18th. He was
met at the depot by the Senior Vice Depart
ment Commander and large assemblage of
comrades in uniform, and was escorted to the
Iceland House (at which place Headquarters
had been established), and was handsomely en-
tertained by Department Commander Berry.
At o'clock the Encampment was formally
opened and after the calling of the roll the
Commander-in-Chief was introduced and met
with a most hearty reception.
Gen. Burdett was particularly pleased with
the management of this Encampment, and says
he thinks it was one of the finest gatherings OF
Grand Army men he ever met, and it was, too,
one of the largest.
In the evening an entertainment was held In
the Opera House, which was very largely at
tended. The tabieaux, representing war scenes
and incidents, were excellent; and the music,
old war songs, speeches, etc, combined TO make
an evening long TO be remembered. Gen. Bur
dett was, of course, called upon for speech,
and made one which elected the heartiest ap-
plause from the audience.
On the following morning at 6:30 the Com
mander-in- Chief left Springfield for Mexico,
Mo-, in order TO attend the last days Encamp-
ment of that Department On his way there he
met Corporal James Tanner, of New York, who

ana. and the two proceeded together TO Mexico,
which place was reached about o'clock in the
afternoon. At tine depot a large number of
comrades were IN waiting, and the Com
mander- in Chief received a most cordial greet
ing He at once went to the hall, where he
found the Encampment in progress Gen. Bar
dett and Corporal Tanner were then intro
duced, and were cheered to the echo by the
comrades.
During the afternoon the Commander-in-
Chief had the pleasure of installing the officers
of the Won,ans Relief Corps of the Depart
ment of Missouri, which was then in session.
In the evening an old-fashioned Campfire
was held, at which the traditional hardtack,
coffee and beans figured extensively. Ad-
dresses were made by the Commander int Chief,
Corporal Tanner, and others.
The Department of Missouri is in splendid
condition, showing gain of nearly 80 per cent.
during the past year, which is the largest gain
made by any Department

proved by the expert testimony OF two
physicans. 1t was also proved that the
qirl had, upon several occasions and to
| different persons, told OF her condition
and also expressed fear that her parents
might ''gst away with her child
and spoke OF seeking home else
where during her approaching sickness
for fear her parents would kill her off
spring. The court ordered the trio to be
held In bond OF $500 each TO await Tho
