erly of this place 1t says: THE first
number was rendered by Miss Dora NJ
Ball, lately of Michigan, now Il pupil of
Prof Parks Her rendition of "Barba-
ia FretChe' was a magnificent piece of
work, as in fact were her subsequent
numbers, notably the duet with Prof.

smooth, flexible and of good timbre,

The national encampment of the G..
A. r., to be held at Milwaukee next
mohth, will be thinly attended, from
the refusal of the railroad companies to
grant the rates of fare to the veterans
that they reasonably expected. Tens
of thousands were preparing to attend,
but they do net feel like acceeding to
the unreasonable demands of these cor
porations. The national and depart
ment commanders have labored long
and earnestly to bring about solution
of the transportation problem, based on
even and exact justice TO all parties,
but the companies would yield nothing
From very self-respect the members of
the grand army will show their resent
ment by absenting themselves from the
encampment, excepting, of course, the
officials and delegates. Advisory cir
culars, for the guidance of local posts.
will at once be issued from department
headquarters.
