An abstract of the annual address of
Department Commander Robbie fol-
lows:
While the department. has suffered a
loss Of two posts by surrender Of char
ter and one by delinquent reports. dur
ing the year 1899. it is gratifying to
note that the loss of comrades in good
standing has been less than for any
year since 1895. when the department
Of Maine reached the high water mark
Of its membership. The loss by death
(23i) is the greatest of any year in our
history, with one exception, but the
loss by suspension is less than that of
any other year since the period Of our
greatest membership. Tho member
ship Of the department Of Maine, al
though decreasing, is still healthy and
vigorous. and capable of increase and
development.
The financial condition Of the depart
mCnt exhibits 4 commendable degree Of
improvement. While the per capita tax.
our principal source of revenue. mas
been diminished by the loss of iol com
rades. there has been an increase in the
amount received for the sale Of sup
plies, which, combined with strict re-
gard to economy in expenses. enables
rs to show q comfortable balance on
the right side of the cast account.
part of this is due to the action of the
last encampment in disseminating the
expense Of post inspections. but the
larger portion should be credited to
careful management Of the tinaHtial
business of the department. The cash
Ia "a n
uuartermaster-ge by his predeces-
sor was $261.71. The balance in bank,
today is s50S 50 and there are no out
standing bills against the department..
| respectfully refer the comrades TO the
reports of the assistant adjutant gem
eral and the assistant quartermaster-
general for full details Of their rcspec-
tive Offices.
The present state Of our noble organ
ization and the high plane on which its
work is conducted, should be Il cause
of rejoicing to us all. We stand upon
the threshold of a new century, and as
We look back and compare the present
with the past. we ar" fll"d with adj
mfration and amaZement at the mar
yeIIous progress that civilization has
steadily made.
1t should be a source Of satisfaction
and congratulation to every loyal clti-
zen that the country has been 50 gen
