The first act of Congress which estab-
lished a Soldiers Home In the United
States was passed in 1851. For years be-
fore Major Gen. Winfield Scott and other
army officers had labored assiduously for
the cause and the former had expressed
his hope that at least one hundred thou
sand dollars of the tribute levied by him
on the City of Mexico for the benefit OF
the army should be set aside for that pur-
pose. His project was later on carried
into execution, and Homes established at
New Orleans, Greenwood's Island, Missis-
sippi, and Washington. The second
of these was soon discontinued. The
Home for the regular army in the District
of Columbia was founded in 1851, and
comprised 256 acres, to which the estate

W. w. Corcoran. and several other
tracts were subsequently added. Ten
miles of macadamized and graded
roads have been constructed and

their musical rendition.
Prof Santelmann. while being a strict
disciplinarian, requiring the most pune
tual attendance upon all duties, is very
democratic and mingles with his men
more freely than many other leaders have
done. He does not fail TO commend the
band after it has performed well a diff
cult programme, and he is always pune
tual in awarding praise to individual ef-
fort A man to belong to the band must
behave himself in every particular. If he

Following are the resolves adopted at
the congressional convention, held by
Republicans at Portland, Thursday of
last week:
ResolUed, That the Republicans of the
First Congressional district of Maine re.
affirm the principles of the platform of
the last Republican National convention,
especially those portions relating TO the
national currency and the tariff
ReS0Iued, That we tender to President
Mckinley and to our gallant soldiers and
sailors our hearty support in the task of
restoring order in the new possessions
which have come to us as Il result of the
war with Spain; leaving the future
status of the people of those lands to be
determined by Congress in accordance
with our national pledges and the prin-
ciples Of our free institutions.
Resolved, That we hereby express our
sincere regrets at the retirement of Hon.
Thomas b. Reed from the service of this
district in the National House OF Repre-
sentatives. Our feelings OF admiration
aud confidence, inspired by the associa-
tons of nearly quarter of a century,
will still remain; and his great career as
Republican statesman will always be a
source of pride to the Republicans of the
First district Of Maine. From this con-
vention we send to him our greetings,
and our most cordial good wishes for his
future success and happiness.
