! THE GRAND ARMY (,
; ENCAMPMENT. :
! How Chicago Is Preparing TO -,
Entertain the Veterans at
Their Annual Gathering.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Chicago is preparing to entertain the
Grand Army veterans on the occasion of
their thirty-fourth annual encampment
In royal style. 1t is expected 10y some
that this will be almost the last of the
really notable gatherings Of this aging
organization.
An elaborate court of honor, nearly
mile long, is being erected on Michigan
avenue. This will be the chief feature
of the decorations. At either end of the
court will be great arches of dazzlingly
white staff embellished with sculptured
figures and appropriate symbols. The
cost OF this court of honor will reach
about $4,000
For Michigan avenue the general
scheme is to place a triumphal arch at
Van Buren, street and one ut Park row,
these to be connected by Corinthian col
umns placed at regular intervals on both
sides of the street, forming a colonnade
broken only by the pylons that will flank
each side of the reviewing stand.
The arches will span the entire street
Mt each end of the colonnades. One will
be dedicated to the Grand Army and one
to the navy. In design they will be Of
the Corinthian order, a prototype Of the
classic, adapted by the designers to the
uses Of this work Staff will be used in
the work on the exterior of the columns
and arches, representing marble in effect.
The openings of the arches, through
which the marching columns of the G.
A. II. will pass, are to be 20 feet wide
and 80 feet high. The arches are to be
decorated with statuary and bas-relief
panels in plaster, symbolizing appro-
priately the different branches of the
army and navy. The frieze of the arches
will contain in relief the names Of some
of the great generals of the army and
noted admiras of the navy.
The reviewing stand will be flanked on
either side with a large four column py-
lon, decorated on the top with a large
American eagle in plaster, resting on an
illuminated ball. The presidents box
and the balustrade guarding the space
reserved for distinguished guests will be
decorated with staff in rich design.
The illumination of the court of honor
will be a feature in itself and will be
treated with reference to artistic effects
1t is not the intention TO have great

All manner of charges were made
against Bazaine. 1t developed that he
had held communication with Bismarck,
and, innocent or guilty, this was de-
clared to be proof of his treachery In
! 1873 he was tried by court martial con-
victed and condemned to death and
military degradation. These were the
days when Nine Bazaine, still young
woman, suffered all that a woman may
suffer. But she still retained confidence
in her husband, and did her best to
comfort and support him during the
trial.
The judges who had condemned also
recommended clemency, and President
MacMahon committed the sentence to
twenty years seclusion in the Fort
Saint Marguerite, near Cannes. Thus,
at the age of 62, the old soldier was lock
ed up in the dungeon, while his wife,
with her two children remained outside
in disgrace. But still she believed that
her husband was innocent, and innocent
or guilty, she loved him. She deter
mined to compass his escape, and she
was not without friends to aid her in
the task.
First of all she gained permission
this beautiful Mexican girl, not yet 80
years old-to visit her old husband in
his cell. By concealing it under her
clothing, she carried into the prison
long rope. This she delivered to the
marshal. One window of his cell looked
down upon the sea, and through TINS
window, six months after his incar-
ceration he finally made his escape.
The rope furnished by his wife was
suspended from the cell window sand
down it at midnight the old soldier
slipped. At the bottom was a little
boat. In it sat his devoted wife, while
her cousin held the oars. Silently
through the darkness they rowed out
into the sea. There waited a ship ready
to sail-this, too arranged for by the
care and hard work of the wife. On
it the party embarked and the marshal
and his wife We're united once more
The ship landed the fugitives in Italy,
where they did not find a safe refuge.
Accordingly they moved on to Cologne,
Germany, and from that city to Eng
land. Finally they took up their per
manent residence at Madrid, Spain, and
there, until the marshals death, in 1883,
the family lived
That Nine Bazaine implicitly believed
in her husbands innocence, and that the
marshal himself was sincere in the
opinion that he was a scapegoat and a
victim rather than a traitor, there can
be no doubt. Some time after his
death his widow went back to spend
her last years in the land of her nativ-
ity. One may imagine the contrast be-
tween her departure, thirty years be-
fore and her return Once she had
been second only to the Empress Car
lotta at the imperial court. Now she
came back the widow of an exiled SOL
der, branded as a traitor by the coun-
try for which he fought for thirty-five
years.
After her return to Mexice she lived
in comparative retirement. At the time
of her death she was still only middle
aged. Her life was not long, but it
was certainly marked by almost every
possible change and variety of fortune,

One Woman Makes a Discovery
Which Saves Another From
Serious Burns.

A lady was saved from being terribly
II not fatally burned, last night. Another
lady, residing on the east side, was in
Greene's drug store. ana when the other
came I'm detected the odor of burning
cloth.
She was prompted to make an investigs-
ton and discovered smoke coming out of
the placquet OF the lady's dress.
Holding her and preventing her from
going out of doors, where the wind would
fan the burning garment into blaze, she
called for aid. The skirts OF the imperiled
womans garments were gathered up I'm o
bunch and were found 10 be well on fire.
The soda counter clerk poured water up
on the fire and IL was put out Then the
lady went 10 the prescription department
and made a careful examination OF her
apparel to make sure that no sparks
were lingering. O..
The fire was probably caused by light
ed cigarette stub. Carelessly thrown upon
the sidewalk whore the lady had been
standing while waiting for car. Fortu-
nately for her she thought that she would
step inside the drug store, and this took
her out OF the draught.
