Number of Civil War Veterans
Not Affiliated With G. A. R.

Interesting statistics concerning the
number of civil war veterans not af-
fliated with the G. A. r. are contained
in the annual report of Inspector Cen
eral 8. E. Beach.
The statistics are based on informa-
ton contained in the answers received
from G. A. R. departments by the in
spector general. A list of questions was
submitted to forty-four departments
and answers were received from thirty
four.
Ohio reported $4,000 veterans as not
members of the G. A. R.. and other
departments reported as follows: Mich
igan. $4,000; Massachusetts,, 5000; In
diana, 3.243; Oregon, 1000; Rhode Is
land, 1900; Minnesota. 1900; other de-
partments. 1000 and less. Only twenty
one reported on this point.
THE reasons for non-membership
were varied the report continues
''Some having served in both armies; some
too remote from meeting places; some
too feeble: others apathy; some claim
G. A. r. is secret order and object; fees
too high; getting benefit and pension
without. or unable to earn and have to
depend on pensions.
"A suggestion for procuring members
comes from Rhode Island, which is that
by having open meetings, to which all
veterans are invited, interest is slim
ulated and membership, in many cases.
procured"
Relief Corps Ah1liates.
Thirty-one departments reported hav-
ing Woman's Relief Corps affiliated
with them. Delaware reported having
no auxiliaries of any kind except
Daughters Of Veterans. Twenty-three
reported having Sons Of Veterans;
three reported no. and eight made no
reports regarding this auxiliary.
Concerning the question. "Have you
state laws regarding flags for the
school and how are they enforced and
obeyed?" the report states:
Twenty reported having state laws;
six reported no; six made no reports
on this subject: one knew of no such
law, and one stated that the state made
no appropriation for flags. Usually
the law Is complied with. Alabama re-
ported that not more than one in TWEEN
ty have flags on schools: Michigan re-
ported that the law was enforced by
excluding schools who do not observe
1t from participating in primary school
funds. This, 1t seems to me. is an ex-
ample which might be followed by
other departments"
Report on Soldiers Homes.
Concerning soldiers homes. the num-
Der Of inmates and appropriations
made by the state for maintenance, the
report states:
The condition Of soldiers homes was
reported good. Many have separate
buildings or cottages for veterans and
families and some for veterans widows
and orphans. South Dakota reports a
sanatorium, a branch of the National
Soldiers Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers.
so few reported as to the financial
aid given by their respective states that
no satisfactory estimate could be
gained as to this amount. Seven re-
ports only contained any information
on this point, and of these the amounts
appropriated annually were from $780,
600 to 100000 Only three reported
receiving any appropriation from fed
eral government. From twenty-three
reports the total number of inmates of
soldiers home. including both state and
national, Is 25,993."

Twice Showed White Flag.

1.-THE Alabama surrendered twice. She
ran up her flag once, and we got the
command to cease firing, but to stand by
the guns. After the white flag went up
the Alabama let US have few more shells
and we started firing all over again. The
Alabama officers saw that the Kearsarge
had the best of it, and ran up the white
flag for the second time.
Lieut.. Wilson then came aboard and
told US that the Alebama had lost 200
men. He was awfully frightened, be-
cause he thought we were going to
hang him. He told US that 200 bodies
were piled up on his DECKS.
Having done our duty by the Ala
bama. we went cruising in search of
the Florida, but later learned that the
Wachusetts had taken care of her in
good shape, and then we steamed for
Portsmouth and went in dock for an
overhaul. when / left her. after having
served two years and eleven months,

Philadelphia, and is good for a few
more battles.

kearsarge. but never exploded. He
says 1t was among the last fired. The
sternpost is now relic in the museum
at the washington navy yard, with the
shell lying just where the rebel gun

inevitable that degeneration of Its It's

Every man who has, reached the
age of seventy. therefore, should real
ize that these three great organs
the heart. the lungs and the kidneys
constitute bases from which he can
not separate himself, and for the well
fare Of which a reasonable solicitude
should continually be exercised by him.
Far be 1t from me to suggest that
every septuagenarian should become a

in these words to his comrades is that
as matter Of wisdom excuses of all
kind, whether Of exercise or diet or
of emotion. should be avoided by them,
in the regulation of their lives should
from time to time be sought.
1t has been my observation that in
dividuals whose lives are unusually
prolonged are persons of equable tens

therefore, the great essential for the
prolongation of life.
Next to the conditions mentioned
there are two disease tendencies which
especially attend old age among men,
These are a tendency to skin cancer

just the minute we made out the rebel flag
flying at the foretop of the Alabama.
THE admiral of the port came out and
told US not to start anything there, as he
would try all he could to get the Alabama
to come out. Well, after a few hours
we made out ship going down the in
side of the breakwater, and we followed
her. Both ships steamed out to sea about
six miles. and then we headed for the
Alabama. When we were about 1000
