issued, and are now ready for distribution.
MAINE
The Department Commander announces In a
General Order that he was recently present with
his Assistant Adjutant-General at the 10th annual
Encampment of the Division at Belfast The
gathering harmonious, and reports showed
50 per cent gain in mem bership-l,653 as
compared with lis year ago. Their outgoing
administration has been brilliant and successful,
and In Commander Fairfield the successor of
Commander Moran, we may again look forward to
another year OF success and progress. IL is earn
esily desired that Posts cultivate the most cordial
relations with all Camps and endeayor to have
new Camps established where there are none. Our
Order has about reached It's maximum and soon
we must turn over our privileged duties TO our
Sons and their Ladies' Aid Society and our own
Woman's Relief Corps. May God bless them all -

PENNSYLVANIA
For the fret time in its history Gen. Hector Tyn-
dale Post leo. Philadelphia, is out of debt, and has
nice nest-egg around which as a nucleus a future
permanent fund shall be collected. At last muster
DR.. William III. Hut, Commander: presiding, the
last incumbrance OF $500 was paid off. The Posi-
room tirouged with comrades, and all ap.
peared TO be happy at the cancellation OF their in
debtedness. The Post now has a future before IL
that will. according to all indications, lead to
brightness and prosperity.
There is some talk of The Guard of Post q Phila
dephs, reyiving the old-iime target-practice al
Fort Delaware. Some years ago a comrade OF the
Post presented three gold badges TO be given tho
three best fslnrksolen, aid 10 worn by them FOL
year, then to be turned to their successors
81 they failed to maintain their vantage-ground
won as shooters. As the Encyclopaedia has fol
years fallen into dsuse the donor proposes tc
demand the return OF the badges Each badge il
worth, intrinsicaty, $50.

brightly burning. 1t is desired that these view
