Late one evening q man was seated IN
the receiving room of one Of the dispen-
saries in the lower part Of the city. He
was talking to 8 young surgeon who had
charge of the room, and the conyersa-
ton turned to the subject of the courage
shown by young folks as compared with
that of; adults.

The visitor turned and saw two bare
footed urchins, one about eight, and the
other perhaps q year younger. The elder
came in carrying his companion, waom
he carefully laid on the lounge. Then
he raised himself and said:

He lay back, aud after one suppressed

sions and the Ladies' waved Flags.

Infantry Hall was filed TO its utmost
capacity Saturday evening by members
of the Grand Army of the Republic. for
the purpose of honoring their comman-
der-in-chief, A. G. Weissert Prior to the
reception a short parade was made, in
which the veterans of 1861 5 made good
appearance On arriving at the hall the
rank and file marched into the hall, aud
the department officers, with their
guests, took position on the stage,
which had been enlarged for the occa-
sion. In the gallery were the members
of the Woman's Relief Corps. and the
wives, daughters aud other lady friends
OF the veterans Each lady had small
flag, and when they waved them the
hundreds OF flags would completely hide
the fair faces of the ladies.
Department Commander George Il.
Cranston called the veterans TO order and
divine blessing was invoked by Depart
ment Chaplin Il. III. Cadv, after which
the comrades paid particular attention
TO the 'rations" while the aroma" that
waited TO the galleries was all that the
ladies got of them. After the veterans
had done justice to the spread, Depart
ment Commander Cranston made few
remarks and then called upon Lieut.
Gov Bull who represented the State In
absence of Gov. Brown. Col. ID. *. Bal
lou was next called upon, and IL was
some time before his comrades would
allow him to speak. The reception he
received showed that no man in Rhode
Island has larger place in the hearts OF
the members of the Grand Army than
Daniel X. Ballou.
NexG came the guest OF the evening,
Commander-in-Chef A. G Weissert. He
said he was not general, but was happy
that he was old enough when the war
broke out TO go into the army and march
in the mud with the boys" lie spoke
of the heroes who had gone to the eternal
eucampment and referred his hearers TO
the roll of honor. AS to his reception he
thought that good-natured, old Slocum
Post would tender him reception if
he was private soldier. lie referred to
the Woman's Relief Corps and he was of
the opinion that there should he but one
auxiliary TO the Grand Army o. the Re-
public. aud that should be the Woman's
Relief Corps
He spoke OF other subjects dear to the
hearts OF Grand Army men ana TOOK his
seat amid a round of applause. He was
followed by that veteran known the
world over. "Corp." James Tanner, and
when he stood up, every man in the hall
stood with him. ana three hearty cheers
were given the champion OF the pension
bill.

ferred to the school tcsrAers aud he was

one, and he thanked God for It.
What Mr.. Tanner had to say was lis
tened to with the greatest of interest aud
his knowledge OF the pension bill gave
him an opportunity to give his hearers
facts and figures that were unknown tc
them. During his remarks he said that
the amount paid for pensions was not
one-half as large as the amount paid to
the bondholder: and that the pension list
as IL Is shown up by those who are not
In favor OF it includes the veterans of old
wars. He spoke in a very pleasant wav
about the Womau's RELIEF Corps. and
said he was the only man in the world who
could talk on the subject as he was a
member OF the organic itiou. He clos ed
by paying a high tribute to women.
George A. LiLtleheld followed, and re-
ferred to the gallant deeds of Rhode
Island heroes and of the feeling that ex-
listed between the Blue and the GRAY.
Secretary of State G.. III. Utter told Of
what the state had done for its soldiers
aud what it would do i'm the future.
Olney Arnold was next introduced and
was cordially received, and said that IL

The Question of Reserve Rights for the
Eastern Organization.
The organ of the national league held
up its hands I'm horror at the audacity of
the "lttle" New Eaglanu league in max
ing playing rules for its own guidance,
but it did not have anything to say about
the way the big base ball body had
treated minor leagues in the past, says the
Boston Herald. 1t forgot to mention the
time that minor leagues protested most
vigo rously against the tax they had TO
pay the body from which II had a right to
expect the most leniency.
The Eastern League today does not
know where IL stands because the league
will not give decisive answer as TO its
reserve rights. The league gave every
assurance that IL would use the Eastern
people right, and when 10 comes to the
pineh the latter will find that their only
rights are the right OF existence.
