RUGGED AND HURRAHED
"rM GLAD l HAY $ WE'D TO HEAR YOU"

Louisville, Sept. 12.-Business and l pleasure were combined by the Grand Army folks today While the delegates to the national encampment settled down to legislalte for the good of the or der and elect officers for another year. the rank and file indulged in the reunions that of late have become one of the most interesting features of encampment week.
 Out at Camp Caldwell and in the tents over at Jacksonville, as well as in the school houses and other post quarters. the survivors of state regiments and companies now scattered throughout the country met together to say, God bless you" once more and to rehearse never to-be-forgotten incidents upon the battle field. There were many affecting scenes as comrades who had not met since the war recognized each other. Their joy could not find expression in words and they fell on each others aeck, while the tears streamed down their wrinkled faces.
 There were many eX-Confederates, too, that hunted up the reunion quarters of regiments with which they had engaged in battle and made themselves at home with their former foes Thus in scores of places throughout the city the blue and gray spent the day and evening in fraterniZation that came from the heart and soul.
 The delegates to the encampment found it hard to get down to business after the emotion created by the well coming exercises. The scene that fol- lowed the closing words of the fervd ora tion by Henry Watterson was thrilling. The speaker was overcome with emotion and left the front of the stage. Men rosd in their seats and not only cheered but yelled. They cried and cheered by turns, hugged each other and themselves and threw hats, fans and handkerchiefs into the air. But they were not prepared fer the closing incident, which followede forty seconds later. Mrs. John A. Logan was seated short distance back of the commander in-chief, and as MT. Watterson walked away from the foot lights with the tears coursing down his cheeks General Law Ter took his hand and presented him to Mrs Logan. Neither could speak for a moment and then the white-h haired, motherly looking woman took his hand in both of hers and when she found her speech said tremblingly:
 "I am glad I have been permitted to live to hear your speech"'
 That was all she could say. Then she sat down and wept
 Meanwhile a scene of a very different nature was being enacted at the opening session or the national convention Of the womans relief corps. For several years the branch of the organization at Can ton, O., has sent as a delegate Mrs. Ada F. Clark and just as often has she been excluded on technical grounds, the op- position being led by Mrs. Sherwood of the same city and ex-president of the corps. The feud has become a celebrated one in Ohio. This year Mrs. Clark came to Louisville determined to enforce her claims, Early this morning, accompa- ned by counsel she appeared before Judge Edwards and secured the issue of fifteen temporary injunctions restraining as many national officers of the corps from refusing her recognition as a del- egate. The papers were given to SheriH Planz for service, and having secured admission to the secret session In Lib- erty hall by warning the sentinel of the majesty of the law he proceeded to the platform and served the first injunction upon the national president Mrs. M. R. M. Wallace of Chicago Then he was in a quandary The other fourteen women he did not know from Adam.

But Mrs. Clark had friends on the floor and one by one. amid scenes of widest excitement, the officials were designated until all the in- functions had been served.
