ReceIve the Veterans-

Receive the Veterans
PITTsBURG Sept 6.-An eruption Of
red, white and blue has broken out all
over the cities Of Pittsburg and Al
leRheny. 1t has become epidemic and
every hour sees fresh bursts of color.
while the stars on sold Glory rival in
NUM- ber those of the heavens Every
business house is rObed in bunting and
decorated with banners. and there viii
be few dwellings that Will not be decked
in the national col0rs.
Magnificent arches are being erected
on the main thorough ghfares. search-lIg hts
of intense power are being placed
on the surrounding heights and experts
are trying to Quito each other IN the
size aud beauty of electric light designs.
Business, politics and social functions
are merely side issues just now.
The one prevailing and all absorbing
idea is 10 prepare fitting reception for
the veterans who are coming here to at
tend the Twenty Eighth national en-
campment Of the Grand Army Of the Re
public.
Applications for quarters are pouring
into the Office OF the local executive
council from all parts Of the country It
was thought that the hard times would
affect the attendance at the coming en-
campment but there seems to be no per-
cep ible decrease.
1t is generally understood this will be
the last encampment at which the old
soldier will parade in tens of thousands.
Old age and its intirmities are rapidly
Overtaking the heroes Of '61-65, and
many are no longer able to march long
distances, regardless of storm or sun
shine. The route this year is shorter
than any previous encampment, being
but two miles in length.
The majority Of strangers 50 far are
men who expect to turn penny or two
during the encampment A few old
soldiers from distant points have
rivedy bringing with them their wives
and children. In addition to the veter-
ans and their relatives, an enormous
crowd OF visitors is expected, and the
vanguard has already reached here.
They feel that they may never have the
opportunity to see many of the nations
heroes massed in one place.
The first of the veterans organizations
to reach here are scheduled to arrive on
Sunday, and arrangements have been
made to meet them at the depots and es-
cort them to their quarters.
The naval veterans viii arrive on that
day and will be quartered IN boats on
the MOnOngahela river.
On Sunday the railroads have ar
ranged to bring in 10000 more. and by
Monday evening nearly 100000 veterans
will be here.
The finishing touches are being placed
today on the mammoth buildings Of
Westing house, in which a reception will

campment. Every civilian viii be ex-

military men and members of the @. A
