GRAND ARMY REUNION FOBTYrHlHTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT (* THE G: A. R- AT WASHINGTON, D. C., LAST WEEK. . w A. C-Gile. (Continued from last week.) Washington, Sept. 27, 1915. Historic Old Arlington. Neat in order was « visit to Arlington, the one time ho hie of the la* family. 1 The mansion stands on the highest ground and that gives a grand view of 1 all the surroundings .and the Potomac ' Jtjyvr The government _ keeps this 1 , Jiropsrty in first class condition. The ■aoat noticeable thing- is :at.: the front of { .the mansion about thirty -feet from the -e^ustrssw.^re two broom tablet*. . The one on the right in raised letters, reads 1 the verse: On fames -Eternal camping ground, .. Tbeu -aiieot tnttan spread, And glory guards- with solemn lound. The .bivouac of the dead.

On the lawtr - front of 'the ; mansion, { • there is-a large stone tablet' in the cen- { ter, made of bronze, a Mag ahd wreath, ' and between is On. Sheridan's profile in ' relief. . On another part the Po- ^ tomac, there 'is 'a raised space of' ground about seventy-five feet long and six feet ^ wide, bordered with reddish ferns, and in the sen ter raised letters of green fern, .with. the words,- "Unknown- 4891." Which denotes the number of the dead ' unknown There is a great many stones and some large handsome monuments ^ indicating the graves of the countries heroes of both army, navy and promi- j nent men of the past and recent times. ^ The grounds are laid out in the highest art of landscape gardening, with the j most beautiful flowers in abundance. { Inside , the mansion there is a large ( book for visitors to register their names, : which was mbst eagerly Used by every , one that could get near it. I There are many things to sea and i ponder over, such as writings of many i people once prominent in the affairs of | our country. This was the only time ; 1 have seen Arlington since 1862, wbn , with the regiment I_ camped there on the ' grounds for only one day and night before going to the front, but it was far different then.

v 1 ditioBs of our country, cannot enter the ^ ground? of : beautiful"" Mount Vernon t without a feeling attd thrill of delight, j | John A. Washington, Jr., the last named ^ | owner, in accordance vrith the wishes of 0 his family, to make, a permanent preser- g vation of the property, offered to sell ^ ; it to the National Government. This g project failed as did likewise an attempt to Sell) it to the commonwealth of j Virginia. At thiB juncture the Mount y Vernon ladies' Association of the Union y was tin 1856) organized by Miss Ann 0 Pamela Cunningham, of South Carolina. Her appeal to the patriotism of all t American * women (December, 1853) re- . suited in accomplishment of her noble • project in spite of many obstacles. The | purchase money was raised by contri- . from* thirty- three states of the " , Union. Materially aided by Hon. Ed- ^ , ward. Everett, .of Massachusetts, in lee- [ turing. for. the. benefit of the Mount . Vernon ifund. the sum of 968,284.59. In ^ , 1858 this association was thus enabled , to buy from -Mr John, A. Washington Jr. j® 202 acres of the Mount Vernon estate. ^ including the tomb, the mansion, building», wharf, etc, the price paid being fi*)AD0 and interestAmong the many who visit Mount Vernon few are aware of what an expensive undertaking is involved fb re- ^ storing and preservation. Nor do they B realize on entering: its gates that they ., too contribute their mite to draw- the j upkeep of this historic place/ 'to retain g ' the appearance of that aimplieity which n characterized the home-life of -Wasbing- ' ton, to preserve tho reverence of his ( . hallowed -shrine and- it the same time ^ . meet the protective requirements inci- • dent to . increasing wear and ' tear; has ^ a problem to be mastered. g A tour of inspection among the several n buildings develops points of interest at' j, I every turn. • The fAtmly> TTtchen' "bears ( evidence in the' proportion of the' huge f ( fireplace with ponderous cranes and ^ hake qytrhs near by, .o( what feasts were a prepared therein. The smoke house 5 Stood near, aud*in season wis filled with r and meats [or smoking. The g \ j^fder wag well stocked, as indeed it C must have been to feed so many guests * in idditicm to the regular household and large retinue of servants. The only \ 1 room on the third floor historically -in- s cresting is the one in which Mrs. Washington died. It was known thato follow-- (; I. ing a custom then prevalent, Washing- s ton's room was closed after his death and his widow then selected this attic b ' because from its. only window she 1 could see the tomb- where her husband's ,. • body 1st. Mrs. Washington died here, t Msy 22, 1802. 'h'f- ' , Until recently the ifiniy. original relics iT in this room were. wash stand and ! 1 dressing glass. Jfevv have been added a j 1 1 Washington chair, a christening bowl which belonged to her family, the Dsn- ' 1 ■ dridges, and an old bed quilt; believed j f i to have been used at Mount Vernon. I s The room in which Washington died j a (Dec. 14, 1799) attracts special notice. * . The original furniture and personal ef- t feets add much to the impressive char- it aoter. A piece associated with Wash- ii ington '■ childhood is his mother's arm S chair, his military trunk, bureau,. wash- j fl 6tand, mirrors, etc., are shown. Most s prominent of all is the bedstead on a which .the great good man breathed- his j s ( ■ la«t. Washington's crest and initials are j b , | wrought in the old fkebark. Abohe the'p • mantle bangs an cngrgxing, one of a set: c 1 of five entitled "Sorrows of'Wertler."

quet halL Then there is the nearby buildings, spin ing house, the servants quarters, the kitchen garden, the Washington fondness for experimental gardening is shown. Then there it on the brow of the steep hillside south of the mansion, overlooking the broad Potomac, is the summer bouse. Then there is the barn, the and coach house which was erected in 1733 by Washington's father. Within is the famous old traveling coach, the "White chariot" as he called it. On the edge of the hill an iron railed enclosure marks where Washington's remains rested from 1799 until 1931. Believing it to be insecure another tomb was planned and built in- -1831. All. in the old vault were transferred the new tomb. This is all very human and still there is a sadness and a joy clinging about this old home that one cannot but feel, and an object lesson which all Americans can take to heart, and that is tho greatest happiness and joy that we can have is a contented and happy home, which is far above all other attractions men can have In this world. The Navy Yard. • The navy yard has many attractions the old Veterans, the different kinds of heavy guns invented since the war, and various old time arms. The Navy Y'ard seemed more to us like a huge gun factory. The Blue Jackets were very kind and attractive to all and explained to us every thing in sight. As the weather was rather moist on Friday stay was not prolonged. Annual Report on G. A. R. Rolls. The Adjutant General of the G. A R- ) report carried with it a roll, showing 159,863 members in good standing, December 31, 1914, and 5462 posts in existence. The deaths numbered 11,434 the year 1914. The G. A. R. expended in relief during the year the sum of 963,676.10. Owing to the death in posts, they were too small in numso they disbanded. Sixty-nine posts surrendered their charters. The 49th National Encampment is to a close and it can never be by all those who had the good to attend. There were moments of thrilling and intense interest for everyone, and many of tliese burned themselves into his memory and he can never forget this encampemtn. The forty-ninth National Encampment has now passed as one of the inosi impressive and. important, if not the greatest in the history of the Grand Army of the Republic. The number in attendance were not as large as1 in former years, yet the interest of all the Veterans and of all the people was greater, and it was agreed by every one that ,it was deeply impressive from', the fact that the men in this, gran 1 parade were the same men that took part in the grand re view, at the close ofthe war in May 23 and 24, 1866. The fine appearance of the Veterans, notwithstanding that they were >11. past three score years and ten, and so many seemed to have only passed the prime life. This gave every one an idea it the sort of men who when only boys. did' so nobly for their country in its time of need. The G. A. R. has sored far higher in the respect of the people than it everhas. before. The business of the encampment passed off in a very husiness like and satisfactory manner, no unpleasant matters came up. to mar the good feelof any one. \K. .&■ •' The Com ma n de 1- in -< liief, David J. presided in a kind and gratifying way, and the election.. passed off In I kind and fraternal spirit. Capt. E. RMonfort, who was the fortunate one to receive the mo^t votes ijt ji veteran of splendid record as a soldier and citizen. George 1L Slaybaugh was elected Senior Y>cc-(iommander. Le Vant Dodge was elected Junior Commandrr; Comrade B. K. Clark - a soldier of great record and a clergyman of high note, wap elected Comrade Dr. Adams. Surgeon -General. The next National Encampment will be held at Kansas City. There was quite a number of Confed- j erates at the camp whom I met, and they called to mind part of a poem ' which I remember: j Though men deserve, they may not win ! I success. j I The brave will honor the brave van- j qui shed none the leas. ; to the People of Washington. 1 for their kind hospitality and the wide- 1 spread of "Old Glory." There were flags j , and quotations everywhere The ilisplay j just great. The White House, and j I Capitol were the center of attrac- j jtion. I saw a -sight on Wednesday even- ! ing which drew every eye to it. On 13th j Street, near Pennsylvania, an immense | was on a pole upon the roof and s : search light was on the roof below it, .andtthrew a brilliant stream of light- up {straight. There was just wind enough | to extend the flag'out, but the I pole was hardly visible which gave it the ; effect of a large flag in the aky waving J without any viaible support to hold iW j All at once there was a great clapping j of hands and roar from many hundred people gazing up at it. The sight will not be forgottea soon. I bad a room at a bonse and the peo-

r pic were southerners from Virginia. 1 They were living alone as the children . bsd grown up and set up for themselves. . I have seen some and read of the hose pitality <f> the people of the south, and e on this occasion I had a practical illustration of it. They were kind and gene erous and seemed to do all that was poss siblc to make my stay pleasant and , agreeable. 1 shall never forget them ? and beieve that I was lucky in going to i them. I was very loath to leave as 1 1 felt that 1 had known them for a long Beautiful Washington, this is my last 1) day to be with you, and I will take 1 away with me not only the pleasant 1 time that it gave me to meet so many y old time friends of fifty years ago, but 1 the pleasure of seeing and recalling the t days of my youth.
