A good STORY OF the recent reunion OF
veterans in Columbus, o., is the fol-
lowing: During the secret session of
the grand encampment, message was
received from Grover Cleveland ex-
pressing regrets at his inability to be
present. Immediately an old soldier
arose and asked if the President had
been invited. NO" was the quick
answer of the commander. ThereupOn
the veteran arose again and moved
that the matter be referred to the
committee on pensions" This little
bit of sarcasm was hailed with the
widest applause, and the mover was
the hero of the hour.

their samples. There Is
CONSIDERABLE GRCMBLIKG AMONG THE MEsseNoRRs
one hundred and five In number, some OF whom
have said that they will not get the suits Their
objections are based on financial and ethical
grounds. They claim that is it hard to require
them TO buy spring suits on their small salaries,
$50 per month, and they also object TO the idea OF
uniform: One OF them said TO STAR reporter
this morning:
public for 1t win enable visitors to recognize the
messengers at once. Then, too, must say that
the force Is at present clad In very poor manner.
while the low cost OF the new suits would nOS
break any one. But don't think there are nve
messengers In the Department who like the idea.
They have talked Of holding an indignation meet
nothing OF that Kind yet. We don't know what
t6e penalty Will be II we don't comply with the

the men object Is that In the new building they
have TO do the work OF charwomen, cleaning out
