Little remains to be said Of the Depart
ment Encampment. There never was a
more enjoyable and successful meeting Of
the Pennsylvania Department. The visiting
comrades said they were never treated
better. Profuse praise is being given the
rades for the way in which the details for the
banquet were arranged. The visiting COM
rades had no complaint to make in regard to
their entertainment while here. However,
they fear that q bad precedent has been set
by the Pittsburg citizens because the repre-
sentatives to future encampments may look
for as elaborate entertainment as they re-
ceived here.
There were not sufficient Of the unique
badges to go around. The committee at its
meeting next week will order an additional
supply and they will be sent by mail
to the delegates who received. none.
The trustees Of the Erie Soldiers Home
were almost unanimously sustained by the
encampment in Withholding 80 per cent OF
the pensions of inmates for the use of mem
bers of the pensioners family. A long and
spirited discussion took place on this
question, and, after all the facts were
satisfied that the action was for
the best interests of all concerned.
The encampment unanimously indorsed
resolution denouncing the Society Of YoIun'
The sentiment was that the pension laws
now in force are the result of the best tudg-
ment OF the best legislators, and that the
pension laws and Of broadening their force.
The Citizens's Committee held meeting
yesterday morning and approved all ollls
for the banquet and requested Mayor Gour-
ley, treasurer of the fund, to draw checks
for the same. The balance of the fund was
directed to be turned over to Comrade A.
P. Burchfield, Chairman OF the COMMITTEES
on Entertainment of the Encampment. This
money is to go toward making up the de-
ficiency in the debt of the G. A. r. commit
tee for the expenses Of the encampment. An
auditing committee, consisting OF W. Z,
Thompson, W. 81. Keech and W. II. Graham
was appointed. When the audit of the &C
count is completed statement Of the con
tributions and expenses will be sent to each
contributor. The Allegheny County G. A.

Pension office next Friday for the purpose
of settling up all affairs connected with the
encampment. After this, notice will be for
warded to all the post commanders assem-
