Grams. There are only a few members of
the Society of the Cincinnati in Washing
ton and but a few of the associations of
veterans of the Mexican war are represent
ed by members here. The program of or
CARNATIONS called for ten veterans associa-
lions, more than half of which were made
UP of veterans of the civil war In many
cases the various members were members
of other bodies and marched with them.
The majority of the members of the Union
Veteran Legion and the Union Veteran
Union who attended the reception march
ed with the Grand Army.
The G. A. r. met at G. A. r. Hall at
11:3O o'clock and were formed in line under
the direction of Department Commander
Hart. Promptly at 12:15 the veterans took
up the march to the White House. When
they arrived they took place in line imme
diately behind the members of the Loyal
Legion. The latter organization met at its
headquarters in the Kellogg building on r
street and marched to the White House IN
at the Ebbitt House and, led by Gen.
'Llewellyn G.. Estes, commander OF the Or
ganiZation, marched to the White House
and took place in line Immediately in front
of the Loyal Legion. The representatives
of the Society of the Cincinnati and the
Associated Veterans of the War of 1S46-47
met at their respective headquarters and
proceeded to the White House, where they
headed the olipe of veterans organizations
in the order named, the Medal of Honor
men following directly in the wake Of the
Mexican wars veterans. The members of
the Union eVterkn Legion and the Union
Veteran Union followed the Grand Army.
The veterans OF the Spanish war came d.
rectly after the Union Veteran Union. The
Society of the Army of Santiago headed
the line with an excellent showing. The
members of this organization met at its
headquarters In The Star building. and pro-
ceeded without any military formation to
the White House. The Spanish War Vet
Grams, in their gray and blue uniforms, fol-
lowed and brought up the rear of the vet

by Illness The cavalry and artillery from
Fort Myer and the engineers from WASH
ington barracks made particularly hne
showing. There was a large sprinkling OF
retired officers, including Gen. Wilson,
chairman of the inaugural committee.
The absence of Lieutenant General Miles,
retired, who is out. of the city, was a sub
ject of general comment In addition 10

The Navy.
Next came the naval officers, wearing
special full dress, with Admiral George
Dewey and staff at their head. Last year
the admiral was absent, having gone to the
Caribbean to command the fleet in winter
:naneuvers The men of the sea wore the
chapeau, while those who fight ashore have
adopted the cap as feature or their dress.
In the naval line were numbers who have
circled the globe, and those who have seen
service in various quarters of the world,
as we'll as veterans of former wars. Both
the army and navy were headed this year
by men VINO won QlSCncslOp III tne ORIENT
General Chaffee with the expedition that
went to the relief of the lgations al Pek-
ing and Admiral Dewey at the battle OF
Manila. The latter was specially singled
out for an ovation he appeared at tho
head of the Navy Department. The crowd
broke into a spontaneous cheer he
walked into view, and kept it up as he
proceeded across the driveway. Admiral
Dewey acknowledged the compliment by
raising his chapeau.
The naval line was not so long as that
of the army. but otherwise made an equal
showing. Prominent in the line were Rear
Admiral Evans, Rodgers, Higginson. Chess

An innovation at todays reception at
fecting the navy was the fact that for the
first time in their history the chiefs of
naval bureaus were introduced to the Pres
ident not by name, but by their bureau
title as follows: The chief of the bureau
of yards and docks of the navy, the chief
of the bureau of equipment of the navy,

From spectacular point of view the
purely military line was of the most
striking and interesting features of the oc-

the army as the senior organization, at the

prescribed for the officers of his period,
thus marking the changes that have been
wrought in army raiment Here ana
there, too, was an empty sleeve, marking
a veteran who had left an arm on the fieid
of battle in defense of his country.
Before proceeding to the White House
the officers of the army assembled on the
east steps of the Navy Department build

with Gen. Chaffee and the members of the
general staff in the foreground. There was
an unusually strong representa- ton in iine'

A SHEEP DIPPING PLANT
MEACHAM WILL PROBABLY BE
POINT TO BE SELECTED BY
SHEEPMEN,

PENDLETON, Ore, Dec. 25.-Tne
erection Of a sheep dipping plant as
required by law is being discussed by
sheepmen in this locality, Meacham be-
ing mentioned as the most convenient
point in eastern Oregon at this time.
The large watts at Shake, which
have recently been completed, and
which has a capacity of 10000 sheep
per day, were erected at a cost of
$1,000, but the same plant could be put
in at Meacham for from 5000 to $500
less on account of the more favorable
condition of the site.
At Shaniko a 20-horsepower hori-
zontal engine Is used for heating the
dip, and is capable of doing the work
easy There are three watts with a
capacity of 5000 gallons EACH in which
the reserve dip is kept. The entire
plant is very convenient for the handl-
ing of sheep. This is one of the i'm
portant questions that will come up at
the meeting of the sheepmen to be
held in this city Saturday, Deem

Girl Knows Fathers Death.

PORT JERVIS, N. Y, Dec. 26.-The
dream Of Miss Grace Dunn
the 17-year-old daughter of ex-Sheriff
Dunn Of New York, who died at his
home in New York city on Thursday
last, is the talk of this entire section.
Mr.. Dunn was in Monticello the Sat
urday preceding his death to see his
daughter, VINO was spending the win
ter there for her health. His daughter
was not made acquainted with the sad
until she reached New
York. 1t was thought that the shock
might kill her. The poor girl, the night
that her father died, dreamed that she
saw MIN dead, and the nurse could
scarcely argue her out of the belief.
1t was true, nevertheless.
