The Grand Army of the Republic, com prising at the present time over seven thou sand posts, with a membership of about four thousand, is one of the most magnificent or- gamizations in existence and well worthy of its name of “grand” army What thoughts are inspired by the appearance in a street parade or ata *‘camp of these old vet crans, who are but the remnants of the most magnificent army which was ever gatherod todefend home and i and uphold the glory and urity of tho greatestcountry on the globe!

The minutes of the pro- ceedings are supplemented by a complete ac- count of ovents conuected with the history and welfare of the organization, including Memorlal day exercises, camp fires, eof Clippings from the daily press of accounts of current events form an interesting feature of this record. The roster of the postforms a complete military history of each member, giving ali the details of name, nativity, date and place of enlistment and discharge, arm of service, number of times discharged and re-enlisted and causo of discharge, if any; length of war service, and numerous other details snch as_are required for the information of the pension office and the supcrintendent of the census. This roster of itself represents an jmmense amount of work and is complete in every detail.

The Number of lnmates it Has Shel« tered and the Efforts of Noble Ladics Who Are Its Chiel Support. The following interesting chapter, in the Burt Street home, one of the most commend- able of the private charities of this city, is taken from the annual report to the Women’s Christian association by Mrs, Dr. Luding- ton, chairman of the committee having that institution in charge: Soven years ago the Women's Christian association was organized to furnish *a tem- porary home to destitute women and chil- dren, After atime, a now department was added, not designedly, but from force of circum- stances, and we now have a permanent home foraged women. ‘'Ihis accession toour work is one which appeals almost more than any other to the public heart, and the idea is largely prevalent that this is the primary ob- jectof this home, Indeed, surprise is often ©xpressed that any other inmates ave found there, oneconld appreciate more fally than your committee the need of an 1sive home for aged women, where, in th declining years, they might be free from the bustieand Change incident to the going and coming of transients, often with ther little ones, butwe must not lose sight of the fact that ourcity offers no other éven temporary shelter tothe ¥ g and middle agel women-—often de- often with children---suve jail orsta- tion house.

Some of these have gone from us into service in various capacities.
