Music is feature that contributes
largely to the enjoyment of the veterans.
Each Home supports a fine band, made
up of members and outsiders combined,
under competent instructor, being paid
from the earnings of the canteen. Con
certs are given every evening, and during
the noon meal the band plays at the gen
eral dining-hall. Sunday evening per-
formances generally attract Il large num-
Der of visitors
The age of the members ranges from
81 up, the average during 1899 being near
~ IS. In looking at them, as with tot
tcrinS steps they go about the grounds, or
hobble on clutches, or lie helpless in the
hospital, it is impossible to realize that
these are of the matchless legions who
marched and fought aud conquered with
Grant and Sherman and Sheridan.
1t is now 80 years since the civil war
closed, and at first thought it would be
supposed that the survivors who are de-
pendent upon the Government would DO
decreasing But they are constantly in
crcasing, all the Homes being overcrowd-
ed, and new quarters are being built. This
condition will prevail for 10 years more,
when the number of applicants will be-
gin to decrease. In 20 years there will
be plenty of spare room, and 80 years will
find the Homes practically empty, unless
another great war shall leave its residuum
of disabled and dependent soldiers. What
use will then be made of these Homes
will be problem for that generation to
settle.
Well-sclected libraries are provided for
the use of the members. but owing to adj
vancing age and enfeebled CycSight the
books are not largely read. Daily papers
~ "a q n In rtrn
of the day is eagerly read and discussed.
Postotiices receive and forward mail and
furnish money orders.
The mortality is of c0nrSe increasing,
averaging the past year six per cent. Well
kept cemeteries are provided, i'll which arc
buried the bodies of all deceased members
whose families or friends are unable to
furnish private burial. The funeral ser
vices are similar to those of the Regular
Army.
In addition to the Homes established
and maintained by the Government. Homes
have been provided by - States. In these
there are 10000 members, making a grand
total of $4,000 in National and State
Homes. Some of these State Homes
are open only to soldiers who served
in the regiments from the State
where the Home is located, but
others admit those who served in any

the State. Being smaller, with fewer
members, they are more hOmelike in char
acter, but in some respects are inferior
TO the National Homes. The Government
pays 500 annually for the support Of
each member, requiring an appropriation
of $1,000,O00. In some of the State Homes
the wives and widows of soldiers are ad-
mitted.
