CLEVELAND ENCAMPMENT.
Final Preparations Made to Receive
Grand Army and Allied Orders.
Cleveland. O., Sept. ..

SltNtlilu. Vs. A1SBt" -
The business men and citizens of Cleye-
land have far excelled what any other
city that ever entertained the Natonal
Encampment of the Grand Army has
done. The entertainment fund now stands
at $50, 75J. This handsome sum was rea-
! lized without one word of personal So
licitation. 1t was all raised by CORE
spondence. 1t includes neither city nor
State appropriation. The business houses
and the private citizens have given 1t IN
| evidence of the esteem and veneratlon III
which they hold the men who fought I'M
der the flag from 1861 to 1860 and of the
honor they feel in the privilege of ell
| tertaining them.
The Grand Army Executive Committee
GO days ago made public statement OIL
the fund as it stood at that time. since
then no effort has been made to increase
it. The handsome addition, therefore, Is
the result either of contributions wholly
voluntary or of the necessarily delayeu
subscriptions of citizens who for one rea-
son or another could not respond at the
moment. For instance, number OF SUD-
scriptions received since July l were from
men who were not in town when the COM
mittee issued its letter, but who on re-
turn to the city responded Mt once.
The Executive Committee will issue
next week an Official Program and Guide
Book. This book will be of exceeding
value to the visitors. 1t will contain be
sides the program a quantity of lntorma,
