HAPPY
COnCIuSiOnW.
Convention.
Campfire Given by
Buckley Post.
Present to Newton Chalker, Esq.
Past Commander.

The campfire concluding the w. II.
G. district convention, Thursday eve
ming, was not an ordinary one. 1t
was versatile, at times leading the
memory back to the reality and pathos
of war, and again sparkling with
mirth and music. And incidentally
some splendid coffee and cake were
served at the conclusion of the pro-
gram. G. A. II. hall was never pret-
tier in its decorations. Great fluffy
chrysanthemums were everywhere
present, and flags and banners height
ened the effect. All the badges worn
by delegates bore the picture of Pres
ident Mckinley, and during Thursday
afternoon resolutions were adopted de-
ploring the death Of the President and
expressing sympathy for his widow
An incidental feature Thursday eve
ming was the presentation by the g..
A. r. of a diamond badge to Newton
Chalker, who was commander of
Buckley Post in 1899. 1t is customary
with Buckley Post to give presents to
past commanders, and the presenta-
ton is not made until some time after
their term expires. The presenta-
| ton speech was made by j. III. Sey-
mour, who spoke of the badge not
as an article of Intrinsic worth espe-
cially, but as token of esteem whose
value could not be measured by dol
lars and cents, Mr.. Chalker thanked
his friends in a short address.
The campfire was a compliment of
Buckley Post to the W. II. @. conven-
tion. Prof. n l.. Glover, for the G..
A. r., and Mrs. S. NJ. h. Battels, for
the w. X. c., presided. Features of
the program were music by an in
strumental trio. Nellie, Carl and Max
Glover; addresses by u. p. Wheeler
and Mrs. Eva u. Heintselman, the
latter president of Buckley Relief
Corps; vocal solo, Miss McMillen; read
ing, Miss Iva Merrill; talk, Mrs. Lucy
s. Hamilton, Of Orrvllle; plano solo,
Miss Whitestine; talk, Mrs. Amanda
Armstrong, of Fredericksburg; read
ing, Miss Iva Merrill; presentation of
hidge to Mr. Chalker, by ]. II. Sey-
mour; talk, Mrs. Emily Hobill, of
Elyria.
During the convention. Mrs. Emily
Hobill, of Elyria, was elected presi-
dent of the 18th w. II. G. district, and
Mrs. Mamie Baumgartner, of Wooster,
was elected patriotic instructor. Next
years convention will be held at Ober-
lin.

MEN IN CONGRESS.
PROPORTION OF THE DIFFERENT
PURSUITS REPRESENTED.

Physicians, School Teachers, Etc.
Washington correspondence:

washington correspondence:
1t takes all sorts of people to make q
world, and it takes various kinds of men
to make Congress of the United States.
At least it is so in theory, though as IL
result of observation one would be in
clined to the belief that only one pursuit
Is represented. When it is known that
of the next Congress 2S7 members are
lawyers, the prepondcrance of the legal
profession seems to account for the vol
luminous pages of the Congressional Rec
ord, wherein the speeches delivered or
prepared by Representatives nre publish
ed. Somehow it seems that men who
have what is called in the vernacular
the "infnite gift of gab" make the great
est progress in public life, although the
era of influential speech making passed
years ago. At any rate, lawyers have
pretty nearly monopoly of the seats in
the House of Congress.
1t seems odd, however, that of all the
members of the House only eight are
willing to acknowledge themselves poll
dcians, or, In other words, wear their APP
propriate title. There are, of course,
many politicians in Congress, but only
eight that will admit that they have no
other business-make politics profes-
sion.
Next to the lawyers in numerical
strength come the business men. There
will be fifty of these in the next Con-
gress, small proportion when it is con-
sidered that running the government is a
huge business enterprise requiring in its
management business sagacity and judy
msnt rather than legal talent. The busi
