Will tssue rations to- morrow to the destitute of the reserve. Gov. Bloxham has never noticed my telegram to him, pent as authorized by the department.” Great indignation is feltat the Navy department at the course pursued by the state authorities of Florida tn not paying any attention to the neces- sity of caring for the destitute on the reservation at Pensacola, even when appealed to by the naval authorities. “The government called attention of the state offictals to the condition of affairs, aud, When no action was tuken by them, authorized the distribution of rations from the frovernment Supplies.

They do not seem able to harmonize the existing difficulties, each. command opposing any attempt to combine the forces, Something will have to be done about it, however.

EIGHT VENERABLE VETERANS WHO TO-DAY CRLE- BRATED THE ANNIVEXSARY OF NORTH POINT<-THE SURVIVORS OF THE WAR OF 1812 To-day being the 69th anniversary of the battle of North Point the “Associated Surviving Soldiers of the War of 1812” are observing the day by visit- ing the veteran John D.Clark, 1203 H street north- west. Of the 138 members composing the assocta- tion when organized in 1855 there are now but eight living. Those living are as follows: Major Elward Simms, president; Michael Caton, first vice president; Seraphin Masi, second vice pres!- dent; Capt. W. W. Moore, treasurer; James Lau- renson, secretary; John D. Clark, marshal; Rev. French S. Evans, chupiain, and Joan S. Anderson, of the executive’ committee. For several years past It lias been the custom of these survivors to meet for roll-call and entertain ment at the residence of Capt. Clark, the oldest of the octeite, who 1s now 93 years of age. The association was reorganized in for the purpose of discussing among themselves their ex- periences in the war of 1812-14, an to keep alive he memories of events of those days. These meetings have always been well attended, and iany a'story of the past has been recited around Uhe annual camp tire. These few survivors are all Well-known Old citizens, who have, for half a cen. tury or more, been tdentified with business enter- prises of tuis District. The survivors of the war in the District first organized an association shortly after the close of the war, (In 1816) and it ‘was kept up some years, and then the interest dted out; but In 1655 they reorganized, taking the name, ‘Assoclated Surviving Soldiers of the War of 1812” Tuey then elected Col. W. W. Seaton president, Col. John §. Williams first vice presi- dent, Gen. St. John L. Skinner second vice prest- dent, James Lawrenson secretary, Jas. A. Kennedy treasurer, Col Wm. P. Young marshal, aud Dr. Wm. P. Jones surgeon. From time to time these officers have been changed as death created vacan- cles. But one of the original officers has kept his place successively till the present time— the venerable James Lawrenson—who stil walks erect with a lively step. Capt. Cla’k was born in Harrigon county, Va., In 1791, and was one of nine children, of whom but one Is left. He came to Georgetown in 1812, and joined Peters’ artillery company on August 19,1814. Q the battle of Bladensburg he was given charge ofagun, He 1s now the only survivor of his com- pany. Capt.
