New Members Taken In.
More than. three-fOurths of the men,
beers of the Minnesota Commandery of
Loyal Legion of the United States, re-
siding in Minneapolis and st. Paul,
were present at the meeting held In the
ordinary of the Ryan last evening. The
new scheme of holding the business
meeting at $50 followed by the ban
quet. and finally the paper of evening
worked so well that it will be perman-
ent rule hereafter. AT the preliminary
business meeting, First Lieutenant
Porter PaskalI Peck, Second Wisconsin
Cavalry, U. S. v, and Capt. Benjamin
Curtis Lockwood, Twenty second
United States Infantry, were
elected members of the cOmmandery.
A resolution changing the GATE of the
meetings to the second Tuesday of each
month was passed. An invitation to
the cOmmandery requesting the pres
ence of its members at the celebration
to be held on the twenty fifth anniver-
sary of the founding of the order in
Philadelphia, April 10, 1890 was received
from eX-PreSident Hayes, the grand
commander. The celebration will cover
the space of two days. and promises to
be grand affair.
The business meeting was followed
by the banquet, after which Capt. Z, l..
Sumbardo read an interesting and val
liable paper nm The Battle of Shiloh"
the importance OF which can hardly
be over-estimated. Capt. Sumbar-
dos paper showed careful preparation,
was well read and well received by the
large and magnlfice lit audience which is
sure to be found at every meeting of
the Loyal Legion. The balance of the
evening was devoted to talks and per-
sOnaI narratives, finally breaking up in
time TO allow the large Minneapolis con-
tingent to go home on an early train.
This, by the way, is one of the best and
most popular features of the new order
of things.
