State. War and Navy Building.
Commander Baird. superintendent of the

has made an interesting contribution to the
decorations In honor of President McKin-
ley's second Inauguration. He has placed
two large illuminated corps badges on the
east pavilion Of the big granite building
These symbols are composed of electric
lights and form the well-known badges Of
the Sth and 9th Army Corps, as used dur
Ing the war of the rebellion. The peculiar
appropriateness of the selection Of the
badges of these two corps lies in the fact
that President Mckinley, then a major in
the army, served in both of them during the
civil war.
The 9th Corps badge had It's origin at the
battle Of Roanoke Island In 1861, when the
army and navy Joined forces in the attack
on the enemy. 1t consists of a gun and an
anchor crossed, and is, therefore, particu-
larly appropriate on the workshop Of the
army and navy. The Sth Corps badge is
six-pointed star and had it's origin In the
six divisions which originally composed that
corps. The President saw most of his war
service in the 8th Corps, but at the battle
