Led the Great Parade.

When people open the big volumes OF
Harper's OF other pictorial histories OF the
late war their eyes are sure to dwell on the
engraving of the grand review OF the Army
OF the Potomac as it marched down Penn
svlvania avenue Washington, at the end Of
the war. The pictures always begin with
the head OF the column of infantry, and the
first man is the captain of company.
Pittsburcers in general, and Grand Army
men in particular should feel peculiar
interest in this leader of the pa

other than that of }. H. Stevenson, of Post S,

vision that led the review, and the
Lieutenant was surprised to learn that rep

153 regiments in the army. Mr.. Stevenson
said Yesterday the honor was something
more than an empty one, for hardly had the

Daughters of Liberty.

why not organize a council in Uniontown
during the coming weekP
There has been some pretty tall hustling
by few members of the organization who
want deputy's commissions.
Four application blanks were sent up to
Lawrence county this week. Something big
may be expected from that section.
Junior x-National Councillor McCleary has
taken steps to have the Councils organized
some time ago at Cumberland and Altoona,
to make a reapplication for their charters,
so that they may be instituted at once.
A Council is on the way at Myersdale that
promises to be good strong one. The or
ganizer there anticipates securing the names
of nearly the entire membership of an Ep-
worth League, OF which he is q member.
Efforts will no doubt be made to have the
council that was started some time ago in
ago, it is understood, the list had IS names
on, but the work was abandoned until after
the session.
Mrs. N. Hauser, of Martha. Washington
Council No. 2, of Chicago, who has been the
guest of Mrs. Fred j. Shaler, of Allegheny,
for several weeks past, returned to her home
on Friday. During her stay here she visited
number of councils of the vicinity.
Many members are asking: "Can councils
choose their own deputy, or select one and
right to do so, but there is no doubt that if
councils desire to express their choice in
the matter of deputies to the National
Councillor, Brother Stevens will try to ac-
commodate them if possible.
A meeting of representatives OF the vari-
Gus councils in this locality will be held at
the residence of Brother Fred ErtZman in
Lakewood, next Wednesday. While the
exact nature of the business to be transact
ed is not known to the writer, it is under
stood that steps are to be taken looking
toward the holding of a union reception
some time during the winter months, to be
participated in by all the councils. This
looks like a commcndable enterprise as it
will provide an opportunity for the men,
bers of the order to become better acquaint-
ed with each other and raise the sociability
among our members to a higher plane. So
ciability goes long way toward making an
organization progressive and successful, and
If the proposed reunion is conducted prop
erly it can be made of great value to the
order.
