At the recent meeting of the executive
co nmittee of the Maine Gettysburg AssOcia-
ton. at the State House, it was announced
that the committee on inscriptions and leg
ends of the Getty sburg Battlefield Memorial
Association of Pennsylvania, recommended
ysriou. changes and additions to the inscrip-
tons Nearly all of them were not full
enough, and it was required that the number
of men in each regiment. the number wound
ed. and the deaths while in service be given.
Major e. +. Stew ms has appointed com
mittee to look after these changes and confer
with the committee of the Pennsy lvanis
association in regard TO the matter The
changes suggested in the inscriptions will be
submitted to each regimeutsl association for
acceptance. The cost of the monuments,
which are not all completed, will exceed the
appropriation by from three thousand to four
thousand. and the legislature will be asked
to grsnt sum of money to complete them

Il good deal at present about the affairs
of the King of Oude, who died recently
at Calcutta. He and the members of
his family had about 5000 servants,
mnny of whom had their families with
them, so that about 1000 persons were
in one capacity or another resident
about his palace and dependent on him.
How to provide for all these was the
problem.
The Government has devised scale
of oratuitics for such of the Kings ser
wants as will agree to return to Luck
now. and further, Il free passage Is TO be
piyen them. But the owners of the huts
in which many of these people live will
not rclinduish them, and it looks as if
they will have to be bought out also.
In any event the removal will involve
transfer of n whole town from Calcutta
TO Lucknow. The debts of the King are
said to be enormous, and the claims
from creditors still larger and more nu-
maroua. 1t is anticipated that the cut

ruthless kind. Even then, however,
the balance will still b very considera-
