LADIES TO UNITE IN ONE ORDER.

II IL Proposed to Bring the women's
Relief Corps and ladies OF the @. A. II.
Into One Organization in Order to Carry
out Their Work ON Greater Scale.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 10--Probably the most
Important business that will be transacted
at the present encampment will be the
1oininx Of the Womcns Relief Corps and
the Ladies' Of the G. A. II. In one order.
while 1t has not been fully determined to
DO this, It will be recommended, and tho
sentiment In Its favor Is such that there Is
hardly doubt Of the contamination OF
the plan. The Woman's Relief Corps has
expended In the neighborhood Of a million
dollars In charitable purposes. 1t works
through all channels, while the othor body,
boing confined In it's labers to the wives
and relatives of the veterans, is necessa-
rily limited. If the proposed plan is carried
cut the work will be on greater scale
than has ever been known before.

ISOLATION, went east Saturday to meet the

ladies were also disappointed, as the train
bearing Mrs. John A. Logan was also de-
layed several hours.
