about the first OF the next month.

gave highly enjoyable entertainment in
mesmerism there.

turns for the reception as soon possible to
Chairman Payne, OF the Committee.
The members of Duquesne Legion No. 10
are certainly hustlers, having disposed Of
more tickets for the reception than any
other two legions in the First Regiment.
Colonel c. v. Lewis is quite under the
weather. and has been during the last three
weeks, and will be pleased to see any of the
comrades who may choose to call on him
to-day.
Lost, strayed or stolen, from Legion No.
10. within the last three months, little
sawed-off comrade answering to the name
of Charley. A liberal reward will be paid
by the Colonel for his safe delivery to him
in person.
Bellevue Legion No. 81 of Allegheny is hav-
ing quite revival OF late by adding twoand
three new members to their roll at each
meeting. 1t is understood it will initiate
four new ones at the next meeting. Some of
the older legions must look to their laurels.
The family of Comrade John Best, of No.
10, have the sympathy of the entire member
ship of the First Regiment. The sudden
death of the comrade during the past week
was a severe shock to his family, who only
knew him kind and loving husband and
father. All the comrades knew him in the
legion room only to honor him, and he was
beloved by them all.
G. C. James NJ. Todd is anxious that every
comrade who can will accompany himself
and staff to Youngstown, O., New Years
eve, as the trip bids fair to prove very en-
made elaborate preparations to receive and
entertain. The reception in the evening

Comrade Rowan appeared upon the scene |
leading blind turkey with a string. and |
notified the two invited guests to take a |
good look at the poor old bird, as that was |

to the annual meeting of the international

INQUIRIES are now being passed aronnd
among company commanders as to the time
when the State warrants may be expected.
This is always an interesting period not only
to the company commander, but also to their
creditors.
ApJUrANr GENERAL MoCLELLAND Is slowly
recovering from his recent severe illness,
but is not yet able to strictly attend to
duties of his office. 1t may be several weeks
before bis physicians will allow him to leave
his rooms.
COLONEL JAMES CAvANAueH, of the famous
Si1ty-ninth Regiment of New York City,
will shortly complete his fortieth year in

Fourteenth Regiment, is arranging for a big
reception and ball for his company to be

is in q most f1ouriShing condition at present
and probably better supplied as to finances
and military equipments than any other
company in the brigade.
TEE report of the General Inspector of
Rifle Practice, Colonel Asthaus, has been
submitted to the Adjutant General and is
the best yet shown in the existence Of the
Guard in this State. Five thousand seven
hundred men qualified last season out of q
total Of $500 enrolled. The increase in the
number of sharpshooters was as correspond
ingly great.
THE reftting Of the headquarters rooms
of the Fourteenth Regiment has been about
completed at an expense Of over s400, and
the officers have now a suitable place to dis
cuss the affairs of the regiment and the pos.
sibilities OF . war with Chile. A little touch

fastidious.
