OFF FOR CHICAGO.
How Maine G. A. R. Will Be
Honored in that Citv.
Arrangements Made for the Annual
National encampment.
lalsFssiin1 Side Trips 10 Be Made Alter the En-.
eampmsnt Is Over.

With his characteristic energy and
forethought Assistant Adjutant Gen.
eral James L. Merrick of Waterville.
has made arrangements by which the
members Of the Department of Maine,
g. A. r., may take in the national en-
campment at Chicago. Aug. 26-Sept 1,
at q; much lower rate than would other
wise be possible.
The event will be the 34th annual en-
campment of the G. A. r. Only once
before, and that a quarter of a CEN
fury ago, has Chicago had the honor
OF entertaining such a distinguished
body Of men as the Grand Army. Each
year that passes brings to the realiz-
alton Of the people Of the Nation what
the members of the Grand Army have
done by their service for their country.
and now that it is partially realized
the city of Chicago will do everything
in its power to give the veterans the
welcome they deserve. In the years
that have passed since the encampment
was last held in Chicago wonderful
changes have taken place in the city
and now the citizens are better pre-
pared to honor those who honor them.
Word is being received from every
mart of the country that indicates that
the gathering will be larger than ever
before so that comrades will be given
an opportunity to again meet those
whom they have not seen for years.
The program Of entertainment pre-
pared by the local committee will make
the event one of the most notable, in
nj ING ,iyin n h
Of the organization that is now so
much reverenced.
One Of the notable features of the en-
campment will be the Grand Court OF
Honor erected on Michigan avenue at
a cost of $25 600 This will have arches
at either end and the members of the
Grand Army will pass through this and
be reviewed by President Mckinley.
Commander-in-Chie Albert D. Shaw
and other distinguished men.
The official route for the trip will be
via the Maine Central and Grand
Trunk Railroads. The route will be
from Portland over the White Noun
tains to Morrisville. VT, thence to Mon
treal, Toronto, Niagara Falls. Port
Huron. Mich. and Chicago. The re-
turn trip will be made by the way Of
Detroit, Mich, Toronto Montreal. and
over the White Mountains to Portland.
The round trip rates, leaving time,
