A badge of artistic design, and o tribute
| OF patriotism and valor, from brave men
| and noble Christian women, came to Mrs
Koons yesterday.
! A DIAMOND STUDDED TESTIMONIAL.
While the testimonial committee to pro-
cure shining emblem of Relief Corps
virtues for Mrs. Ada II. Clarke have not,
after a year OF patient deliberation, made
up their minds as to the style and value of
| the article to be presented, there has been
| no doubt among the friends of Mrs. Emma
| Il. Rooms as to what should be done in her
| case.
There has been, particularly in Steuben
vile, where the last Grand Army Encamp-
ment was held, great indignation in the
| Grand Army at the charges brought
| against Mrs. Koons, and sympathetic let
| ters and messages have reached her from
| all quarters during the tedious suspense
| of the winter, following her disgraceful
| trial on trumped UP charges.
This sentiment has crystalized into gold
| and diamonds, and last night, to her
great surprise, she received this testi-
monial OF confidence and esteem. The
| badge is OF purest minted gold,
SET WITH DIAMONDS,
And is the regular official past officers
badge of the Woman's Relief Corps. II
10 in the form of a Maltese cross, suspend

"Treasurer,n aud from the bar pin is sus-

ity, Charity, Loyalty) the motto of the
Relief Corps and Grand Army. Accom-
panying the badge is card bearing the

SOME OF THE NAMES.
Owing 10 the crowd of other matter we
bavenoe space to6ay to print the beautiiuI
letters that have come to Mrs. Koons,
since her vindication. Some, however,
are not so beautiful, but are more of tho
forceful order. Some day we may make
room for some of them. All breathe the
true spirit OF fraternity, charlty and 10y
atty, but many are savage on MRS. Clark,
