Union Veteran Legion.
A distinct feature of the civic parade to-
night will be the presence in the line of
Encampment No. SO Of the Union Feter-
an Legion one of the most exclusive of
the organizations growing out of the civil
war The two other encampments of the
National Legion in. Washington, Nos. %
and Ill. have been invited by Encampment
No 60 to join them in the parade, and it is
expected that a majority Of the member
ship will accept.
Uniformed in dark clothes and wearing
Grant hats. with gold cord, the members
of Encampment No. 60 will make a show
ing equal to that of any other body of men
in the Dewey line. 1t is expected that fully
200 men from 60 alone will turn out, the
total membership of the encampment be-
ing something over 300.
1t is only on rare occasions that En-
campment No. 60 of the Union Veteran
Legion goes out on parade. In the case
of the Dewey reception the encampment
felt its forces should add as much as was
in their power to the heartiness and gran
deur of the phalanX to march in review be-
fore that officer the evening of his arrival
in the capital city. 1t was the fact, too,
that the demonstration Of Monday is to be
naval ceremony that prompted the en-
campment to unanimous action in favor
Of marching. No. 50 has always taken the
keenest interest in the navy and Its men.
Thus it was that when the battle ship
Maine was blown up in Havana harbor and
a portion of its dead was brought to the
naval cemetery at Key West. this encamp-
ment took up the matter of protecting and
caring for the graves there. Its work in
this direction is well known to all read
ers of The Star. AS result the graves of
twentyfour members of the crew of the ILL
fated battle ship, and four from the tor
peGo boat Winslow, are surrounded by a
handsome wrought iron fence with elabo-
rately designed gates, appropriately fitted
tenance of the plot, which was put in the
very best condition, has also been provid-
ed and is being expended under the direc-
ton of the comma ndant of the Key West
naval station. Encampment No. 60 was
the only veteran organization of the old
war to remember the first martyrs of the
new.

D. Norton, colonel; Gideon A. Lyon, lieuten-
ant colonel Charles d. Stephens, major;
