The real business of the Twenty-third En-
campment opened on the following morning
at Turner Hall, when General Warner called
the delegates to order. About seven hun
dred were present. The Committee on Gre
dentials occupied considerable time. The
proceedings were held with closed doors.
After prayer by Chaplain Wharton, of the
Wisconsin Department. Commander Warner
read his address He said that the growth of
the organization had been steady and healthy.
The net gain in membership during the year
Gin good standing) was 81 431. He commended
the practice of the posts in the Department
of New York of presenting on February 22d
the American flag to such public schools as
are not yet in possession of one. On the sub
ject of pensions, with which his address
closed, General Warner said:
The last encampment after much discus
sion, by practically unanimous vote recon-
mended to Congress a service pension bill,
and what is known as the Disability Pension
bill, the latter having received the reported
approval of previous encampments. This
action was the result of compromise, and, in
my judgement, was wise as it was just and
conservative. Ny experience in Congress leads
me to believe that you will greatly
strengthen the hands of our friends in that
body by demanding at Milwaukee the
pension legislation asked for at Column
bus. Let the Committee on Pensions take
your recommendations to Congress, back
ed by a united Grand Army of the Republic,
and there will be no failure. Ii we are true
to ourselves, before the next encampment
every comrade disabled by age, sickness or
accident, and the widows and orphans of
veterans will be borne the pension roll"
Extension Commissioner Black and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Rusk also made brief re-
marks.
The reports of the Adjutant- General,
Quartermaster-G General, Judge Advocate
General and SurgeOn-Generalw were then read,
after which the Encampment took recess
for two hours. In the afternoon Boston was
chosen as the place for the next annual En-
campment, the steady quiet work of the
Massachusetts men during the two days be
ing rewarded by handsome majority over
Washington and Saratoga.
The annual reunion of the Veteran Signal
Corps was held and elected Governor j. B.
Foraker, of Ohio, President.
Very Unexpectedly the Grand Army dele
gates proceeded to an election of officers at
the night session. General Russell A. Alger,
of Detroit, had it all his own way. Twenty
men nominated him, Colonel James Sexton,
of Chicago, first presenting his name. Ali
the other candidates were then withdrawn
and General Alger was elected by &C.
clamation, Colonel A. G. Weissert of Mil
waukee, was elected Senior Vice-Com-
mander, and John F. Lovett, of New Jersey,
Junior Vice-Commander

SKETCH OF THE NEW COMMANDER.

General Russell A. Alger was born or
February %, 1886, in LAFAYETTE Township

Connecticut and his mother from Vermont
When but twelve years old his mother
died, and shortly afterward his father and

In 1850 he hired himself out to farmer. he tc

second, and IS for the next four months
In 1860 young Alger went to Michigan anG
with small amount of borrowed capital en-
gagged in the lumber business at Grand Rapids
which soon afterward collapsed. He was mar
ried to Miss Annette II. Henry, daughter of
w. G. Henry, of Grand Rapids, in 1861. and
when the war broke out he entered the
army, and was elected a Captain in the Sec.
ond Michigan Cavalry.
At BoOnville, Miss, Captain Alger had his
side crushed in and five ribs broken by being
dismounted, his horse being shot.
By general promotion, after participating
in sixty-six battles, he was brevetteG Briga,
dier and Major-General, and resigned from
the service because of injuries received from
his horse on September 20, 1864 After
this he went into the north woods of Michi-
gan, and, with funds furnished him by
Franklin and Stephen Moore, entered

GATESVlLLE INTELLIGENCE.

We are feeling good here over two
things. The first is the fact that the
Oregon Pacific railroad company
seems to be solldly placed upon a
sound foundation, with excellent
prospects of completing its road to
an eastern connection.
The second is the work of develop
ment of the Quartzville mining dis
trict. The CAPITAL JOURNAL has
kept us posted upon the movements,
so that we were fully prepared to-
day to meet Engineer McCaustland
and his corps of assistants, who have
just passed through for the purpose
of completing the survey of the
water way for the Gold Mountain
and Dry Gulch consolidated Gold
and Silver mining company, where
by their valuable placer fields in
"Dry Gulch" will yield up their
wealth. The energetic and intelli-
gent work of this company has al
ready made its impress in this
neighborhood, and the expectation
is general that their coming work
will have an important influenc, in
the future of the upper Santianl
country.
The perfecting of the wagon road
into Quartzville will enable the
other mining companies interested
there to take in men and supplies
readily; the building of the tlume
will insure plenty of water, which
is all that is necessary To take large
number of workmen in there, and

point is assured of being the station

DANGEROUS POSITION. - Yester-
day, as VIM. Lee, Of the firm of
Rennie & Lee, expressmen, was on
his way to the afternoon train, he
discovered a man lying on the
switch track, and he stopped his
wagon and told him what danger
Gus position he was in. He seemed
to be under the influence Of liquor,
so Mr.. Lee lifted him off of the
track. He was an old man, about
seventy years of age, and stranger
in the city. 1t was lucky for the
old gentleman that Mr.. Lee happen
ed along at this time, as the yard
engine is always running backward
and toward upon this switch, and
he might have been overlooked by
the engineer and run over and killed.

There have been some curious changes
Of late years. in the fashions for staple
commodities, and especially is this true in
the matter Of watches. The watch is
either looked upon as trfnket or as an
article Of serious use. In the first instance
it Is set in round ball, incrusted with
small diamonds, sometimes intermixed
with rubies or with sapphires, or it forms
the top of smelling bottle, or is set in
bracelet or the handle Of parasol But
the serious watch of every day wear has
become very practical article indeed
In old days, said to me a famous Swiss
jeweler of the Rue de la Paix the other
day, 1.-THE business of replacing watch
crystals was an important item. amount
ing, on an average, to $50 per week. Now,
instead of the delicate, soap bubble glass
formerly used, the watch crystal is made
thick and strong, SO as to stand any
amount Of rough usage short of an actual
blow. The introduction of these massive
crystals has brought about a change in
the make of watches. Not half so many
hunting cdsed watches are sold as for
merly, as they are so much less convenient
than the open faced ones, ard the thick
crystal does away with the only real OBJ
lection to the latter. Paris Cor. Phila-

A Citadel Of stupidity.

It is a notorious fact that our kitchens
are the strongholds of ignorance, preju-
dice, irrational habits and mental vacuity,
with the result that Americans suffer be-
yond any other people from wasteful,
unpalatable, unhealthful and monotonous
cookery. Acquiesceuce in this state of
things as something permanent and ir-
remediable is no longer possible, The
time has arrived when the advance of in
telligence and the spirit Of Improvement
must invade that citadel of stupidity, the
kitchen, and Danish from it all degrading
associations by the presence Of trained
women who have made the work there
carried ON matter of serious study.
Cooking should be done as Northcoto
mixed his colors, with brains, sirl'' The
difference between cooking that is good
and cooking that is bad is very much an
affair Of attention to trifes And this
power of attention to trifles is tho out
ward and visible sign Of the inward and
well ordered brain. Slight mistakes,
email omissions, little things done at the
wrong time spoil dishes, and therefore
much healthful enjoyment. The charm
of good housekeeping is the order Of econ.
omy and taste displayed in regard to de.
tails. The little things are the great
things after all, when their influence is
taken into consideration. New York
