a speech. His appearance among the old

Georgia Brigade. The men had dug

Resolved, That we cordially approve OF
the act Of Congress establishing the Get
tysburg National Military Park and pro-
yidlng for the preservation sand proper
care of that celebrated battlefield.
That the work which is now being done
there by the National Military Park Com
mission-Colonel John L. Nicholson, Ma
Tor William NJ. Robbins, and Major
Charles A Richardson-under the super
vision Of the War Department, is OF the
greatest interest and deserves to be more
fully recognized by patriotic citizens
throughout the nation.
Not only are the features of the Held
being preserved, and where necessary re-
stored. so as to appear as they were at
the time Of the battle, but the lines anu
positions Of all the troops Of the Army oI
the Potomac and the Army of Northern
Virginia, with their numerous evolutiohs
during the three days conflict, are pelhs
located and marked by monuments ana
tablets. and durable Telford avenues are
being constructed along the lines OF pat
tie and to the principal points OF interest
on the field. Observation towers OF IRON
and steel have been erected from which
the battlefield can be viewed.
The result Of the work when completed
will lie to make OF this famous field
historic monument on great scale ana
a point of pilgrimage for the patriotlc
and military student for all time.
we heartily commend the zeal and IN
telligence displayed by the Gettysburg
National Military Park Commission IN
planning and prosecuting this great WORK
with the approval and aid Of the Secre-
tary of War, and trust that the congress
will enable the plans Of the commission
and of the War Department to be Iuiiy
realized by granting liberal appropriations
for this patriotic purpose, and that
copv Of these resolutions, signed by the
president and secretary of the society, be
transmitted to Major-General X. A.

The resolutions were UNANIMOUSLY

hand directly upon the poisonous, paralyz-
