Some of those best posted as to what is going on in the inner circles of the Grand Army say if Mack is successful it is eImust certain that Col. McElroy of Washington, D. C., will be elected senior vice command- er, and practically without opposition. Col. McElroy is well and favorably known throughout the country throug his advo- cacy, in the columns of his paper, of vari- ous matters intended to benetit the veter- ans, and they feel confident tnat if clected senior vice commander-in-chief he can be depended upon to still further look out for their interests.

The exercises of the third day’s proceed- irgs of encampment week began with the firing at Camp Sherman of a salute to the Union of forty-five guns. This was fol- lowed by the grand parade, which formed at the various places designated previous to uniting in one hody at 9:30 o'clock. Shortly after this hour Commander-in-Chief Gobin and the members of his staff left na- tional headquarters. As they did so a n2- tioral salute of twenty-one guns was fired. As soon as General Gobin and staff reached the place appointed for them the Grand Army of the Republic began to move over the route which had been arranged.

BARKER, Relief Corps will-begin at the Scottish Rite The annual convention of the Women's | tions which were created at the close of the war. The Women’s Relief Corps is composed of women of the families of veterans and other loyal women who have reached the age of sixteen years. It is an auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, as- sisting that order in the work of perpetu- ating the memory of the heroes dead, and A aiding all needy veterans and their fam- ies. It was organized in July, 1888, with the approval of the Grand Army of the Re- public, which authorized the use of the name, the first organization being formed in Massachusetts in 1879. It was formed of various soldiers’ aid societies, which had existed since the close of the war. This organization is composed and officered ex- clusively by women. It has secured the erection and endowment of numerous homes for veterans, their wives and meth- ers, and dependent army nurses. It orig- tmated and forced into law in many states legislation compelling the use of loyal his- tories, and the placing of the American flag over every schcol house. In the earn- estness of its work, and the extent of its charity, it has no equal among the wo- men’s organizations of the world. It has expended through its own organization and assisted the G. A. R. post in the relief of distress to the amount of $1,249,214.61, and assisted 40,513 persons. The membership of the organization is 145,000. Among the works of this national organi- zation was the erection of a building as a national home at Madison, Ohio, as a shelter for the wives, mothers of soldiers and army nurses who needed a home in their declining years. In many states homes have been established especially for the benefit of those residing within the state. The Annual Reports. The reports from all over the country, which will be submitted to the convention, are full of interest. That of the Depart- ment of the Potomac will say that it holds a unique position in the galaxy of the de- partments in that while others represent states of wide area, it has ail its corps within the ten miles square of the District of Columbia, and all within thirty minutes’ ride of the national capital. All the corps but one are in the city of Washington. Headquarters are maintained within the business section of the city, and are open every day in the year, except Sunday. Many calis for help are received and re- sponded to, for veterans come from every part of the Union to look after pensions, and often are in distress, but here they find a helping hand. The organization of the department was effected July 23, 1890, with Mrs. Johanna y. Turner as the president. Three years ago a committee, composed of Mrs. Char- lotte Kibbey, Mi Mary M. North and Mrs. Eliza Naylor, succeeded in having a bill passed by Congress granting. an annual appropriation of $1,000 for flags for the 123 school houses of the Dis- trict. This same cemmittee, it sets forth, introduced the flag salute in the schools. In. 1892, when the national convention was held in Washington, Mrs. Ida V. Hendricks, who was then department president, was elected national senior vice president. There has been a decided increase in the membership during the past year, and there are now nearly seven hundred mem- bers in the nine corps. The department president is Mrs. Anna A. Peck; department secretary, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, who is serving her fifth term; department treasurer, Mrs. Gladys L. Thompson. Mrs. Thompson ts also one of the national aids, and Mrs. Mary M. North of the department corps is chair- man of the national press committee. The department during the year gave in re- lief $869.08, and has in bank a nuc.eus for a home. The Work of Relief.
