III. The necessity for promptly closing up the
business Of the year is apparent. The returns of
every Post in tie organization for the quarter end
ing June so, should have been long ago in the
hands of the Assistant Adjutants- General 1t Is
upon these returns that the reports OF all National
officers must be based There have been substantial
gains IN many Departments, and IL Is greatly TO be
deplored that these may be cancelled, wholly or
partially, by " losses from delinquent reports"
Department Commanders have been directed to
forward consolidated returns by Aug. l, which IS
necessary in order 10 prepare for the work of the
EHcampmeut. Every Post Commander, therefore,
whose reports are now delinquent is directed to
prepare and forward the same at once.

Farragut Association of Naval Veterans.

At a meeting recently held in Philadelphia
the following officers were duly installed Com
mander, Geo L. Varnck Lieut. Commander,
Henry McGinnis; Sec'y, William Simmons !;
Master at-Arms, Geo. w. Mayberry; Ships Cor
poral, Patrick Higgins.
A large number of naval veterans were en-
rolled as active members, and several short
addresses were delivered. This association is
the oldest veteran Oranization of the late war
now in existence, having been formed in 1866,
and the present Secretary, William Simmons,
has been actively connected with it since that
time. He has in st. Louis, Chicago, Hartford,
New York and Camden established similar
associations Branches are also now formed at
Kansas City, No. San Francisco, CAL Mil
yankee, Wis; New Orleans, La; Washington,
Kansas City, Boston and Salem, Mass; Column

The Zouayes VIII Fight.

The veterans of Baxter's Philadelphia Fire
Zouaves (72d Pa, who won distinction at the
battle of Gettysburg, have determined to con-
test in the courts the fight between the
Monument Committee of the regiment and the
Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association.
This action is taken because the Gettysburg
Battlefield Memorial Association have decided
not to allow the Zouaves to place their monu-
ment to the right and rear of the Goth Pa at
the stOne-wall, where they claim to have been
during the third days fight, but are to place it
back in the rear at a point in the imaginary
"object-map" line of battle.
The Monument Committee Of the regiment
wrote TO the Battlefield Association requesting
a rehearing of their case, but were informed
that the case was definitely settled, and re-
hearing would not be granted.
a bill in equity will be Immediately filed in
the Adams County Court to restrain the Bat
tlefeld Memorial Association from erecting
the monument on a site which does not mark
the place where the regiment fought. They
claim that the association has no power to sac
riice the rights of the regiment and deprive
them Of the credit so dearly won, and in this
way perpctuate silly lie in order to make a
beautiful "object-map." Quite number OF
eminent Pennsylvania lawyers have offered
their services to the veterans in prosecuting
this case.

The Mother.in.Law in Medicine.

The wife of an editor of the Worcester Mass. J
EUening Gasette Mrs. G. F. had been restored to
perfect health by the use Of this new and won
derful healing agent. Her health had been COM
pletely broken down several years ago, and a
long and costly course of treatment prescribed
by the family physician, in addition to all kinds
ofremedes, had utterly failed to stay the steady
decline of Mrs. F.'s health. In the spring of
1885 she began the use of Compound Oxygen,
having obtained a Home Treatment from Drs.
Starkey & Palen, and on September TO- 1885,
her husband wrote:
Mrs. f. is now in excellent health. Her
blood is better than it ever has been. am en-
tirely satisfied that she would not have been
alive but for the Compound Oxygen, and have
the satisfaction of knowing that recommend
ed it TO her. l don't think her good mother
has ever quite forgiven me for putting her in
the way Of cure, when her parents had en-
deayored for years in vain to find something
that would help her"
GoOd-humored as this bit of sarcasm is, it
points an obvious moral. Compound Oxygen
is not drug in any sense. All the facts about
its preparation, use. and cures will be sent free
to anyone enough interested in it to address

CORPS ouERIEs.

DEAR EDIToR: In your ReliefC Corps News please
answer the following questions:
]. If a member Is to be suspended for non-pay-
ment of dues, what is the modus operandi?
2. Ought the outgoing or iti-coming President TO
make arrangements for the installation of officers
3. When there are not enough members present
to hold n meeting, is anything more required than
for the President TO call to order, and say: There
not being quorum present, declare the Corps
closed ''?-A Subscriber.
j. II is the duty of the Treasurer to notify MEM
bers when they in arrears. If they fail to re-
spond they suspended by the operation of
Rules and Regulations and the Treasurer per-
forms the required clerical duty of marking the
name suspended. Except, that If satisfied the
member is unable to pay because of sickness or
other cause, the Corps may vote to remit the dues
Of the delinquent member which ofitself reinstaes
her. In cases of delinquent members verbal re-
quest from the Treasurer, or from Committee on
Delinquent Members, which is recommended to
every Corps, win be found to work better than
written notifications.
2. All Corps work is performed under supervis-
ion of the President until her successor is installed
Except, that it is usually courtesy to allow the
officers eect to select their Installing Officer and
provide the program.
3. II is little difficult to consider such state of
affairs in well-regulated Corps, unless it should
be in the cholera season. But inasmuch as a meet
ing cannot be closed until it is opened and meet
ing without a quorum is meeting at all the
Editor would advise the President to simply go
home and see if she cannot drum up recruits for
the next time of assembling

DEAR TRIBUNE; The energy displayed by the
W.RC. throughout the State of Wisconsin, under
the guidance of Charity Rusk Craig, Department
President, upon whom has fallen the mantle of
our much-b beloved Past President (who, by the way
has the happy faculty of imparting to the Corps
the vim and energy that she herself possesses) in
the matter appertaining to the building of the cot
tages at the Waupaca Home for disabled veterans
and their wives. is deserving of all credit 1t is one
of those commeudable acts which will have its re-
ward not alone in the individual self qualification
which always accompanies good deed but in the
thought that those nearest and dearest to them
will not in the evening Of life, and when the
shadows fall the longest be separated, but can
rest in that quiet contentment which has been so
dearly earned. With this idea in view the ladies
of l.. II. d. Crane Corps, No. 40, of Beoit Wis
with that eommendable energy which is so charae-
teristc of them have contributed their portion
ward the building of the cottages, which was the
proceeds of dinner served by them on the 4th of

A slander Corrected.

The republicans do not hesitate to
make any statement which they i'm
agine will strenthen their side 1t is
the same at home and abroad; and
to credit the statements of their press
and speeches, the democratic party
would seem to be falling to pieces
and the other filling up our ranks to
oYefowing. Every body knows this
! to be ludicrously false; so false as to
be farcical for its impudence. Sooner
or later corrections are made.
Among the last claim made by the
republicans was the conversion Of the
venerable John Ramsay, of Bull
Creek, Madison county. He is 95
years old, man always democrat !;
and so indignant was the old gen
tleman at the imputation upon his
party loyalty, that infirm as he was,
he mounted his horse and rode four
miles across rough mountainous
country to Mars Hill, his nearest
postofice to write and transmit to us
the following refutation:
Es2 MARS Hill, N. c., August 20.
Editors Citizen 81 wish to cor
rect false statement, circulated on
me by the republican party, stating
that had turned to the republican
party. It's a false. ! am now in
my 95th year, and have never voted
any ticket but the democratic. wish
this published to clear myself of the
SANDER of the republicans. If you
had seen the negro and white radical
procession at Mans Hill the other day
when Jete and Kinks Kurnal spoke
with some of our late war robbers
you would surely think that no GOOD
white man could support their ticket
/ have, in children and grand chill
dren about 100 deecendents and not /
republican among them, and God
forbid they ever should be.
