A Successful
Entertainment.
The
Queen City Guards realized a handsome sum from their drawing
last night. A large number were present and the entire number
of tickets (250) were sold. The drawing occasioned much merriment,
every ticket drawing a prize, though cigars and oranges greatly
predominated among the gifts. The list of prizes included $20
in gold, a horse or $18, twenty years of calico, a half-dozen
shirts, and many things well worth the investment. After the
drawing , the young people present took part in dancing, which
enjoyable pastime was the closing feature of a successful evening's
entertainment.

PENSION DAY.
Yesterday
was pension day in the county clerk's office, and the disabled
heroes who upheld the stars and stripes were as promptly on hand
as when the life of the nation was imperiled. Pension salve is
a fine unction for those whose patriotism led them into dangerous
places, and doubtless is a prime cause of longevity, since the
list seems to be eternally on the increase and subverts all the
laws of nature by constant additions to instead of subtraction
from the honored stipendiaries. Below is a list of those who

Gen. W. L. Cabell, Capt. Ben Melton, Capt. Joe Record and Col.
W. L. Thompson were appointed to correspond with the directors
of the confederate home at Austin and, if necessary, to go to
Austin and see if the fund sent to the confederate home by Sterling
Price Camp could not be secured for the benefit of the indigent
confederate veterans in Dallas. A motion was made and adopted
that a committee of three be appointed to address a circular
letter to all the confederate camps in the state advising and
requesting them not to buy "The Life of Jefferson Davis,"

DALLAS RECRUITS.
______
Uncle Sams' Local
Station Not Overrun
With Candidates for the Army.
Lieutenant
Dabray, in charge of the recruiting stations at Fort Worth and
Dallas, is in the city. The recruiting office in Dallas has had
five applicants for enlistment since its opening. Of these, only
one has been accepted, but some of the others may be, as all
have not been finally rejected.
Lieutenant Dabray said to a TIMES HERALD reporter
to-day: "The standard of soldiers, in the United States
army is much higher than that of any other country. The pay is
better, privileges greater and service lighter than that of any
of the foreign countries. Of the applicants we receive, about
70 per cent are rejected. Those enlisted must be of the highest
type of manhood. The life of a regular is not a drudgery as many
persons imagine, but is one of ease, compared to that of many
civilians.

THIS FOR THE
HONOR OF DALLAS.
_____
"Home and History
of the Dallas Ar-
tillery" Being Printed.
To the Times Herald.
The year 1895 is, doubtless, to
be a winning one for Dallas. The Dallas Artillery Company has
resolved that it will do its part in adding to the laurels of
the Queen City. The success achieved at Houston is to be followed
by a clean record of prize winnings during the season. The past
record of the company is reviewed with pleasure by both active
and retired members of the company, and the fact that each victory
enhances the reputation of its home, greatly adds to the satisfaction
of its members. This mutual benefit is very fortunate, as the
many favors received from the mercantile interests have been
of great benefit to the company and are fully appreciated by
them. The standing attained by the company at Houston augurs
well for Dallas and gives assurance that the $2000 prize at St.
Louis is within reach.
Men and money are the sinews of
prize drills, as well as of war. The men are hard at work attaining
the proficiency that wins. The other -- money -- is equally necessary,
and will, we believe, be subscribed without difficulty. Dallas
will see that her artillery company is equipped in a manner to
do credit to its home.
Profiting by past experience, the
company has, in course of preparation, "The Home and History
of the Dallas Artillery Company." There is to be an attractive
booklet of 80 pages; size, 7x7 inches; the front cover embellished
by a handsome design, furnished by Lieut. Blythe. The presswork
will be the product of Dallas workmen, which is a guarantee of
its quality. The pamphlet, as indicated by its title, while giving
due attention to the company, will really be an attractive review
of Dallas. The varied mercantile, manufacturing and financial
interests will be presented by their best authorities. The social
and other features will be shown to the best advantage by different
writers.
Many handsome illustrations will
add to the interest of the book. For the St. Louis trip, the
issue will consist of 3500 copies, to be distributed about equally
in Dallas, Northern Texas and en route to, and at, St. Louis.
Advertising rates are very low. The entire receipts, less actual
expenses, will go to the company and be used for the improvement
of the battery.
Capt. A. J. Houston and Lieuts.
Blythe and Hart have this matter in charge and will be glad to
furnish any information that may be desired. Their solicitor
will call upon the business men and will, no doubt, receive what
he is after--large orders.

G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT
______
OLD SOLDIERS HAD
THE WHOLE
OF DALLAS AT THEIR
DISPOSAL.
______
NORTH AND SOUTH
UNITED.
______
Stars and Stripes
and Stars and Bars
Interlocked--Address of Welcome
by Mayor Holland--Exercises.
Yesterday
was Grand Army day. The sound money men owned the opera-house
and the old soldiers had the rest of the city. They were astir
early in the morning and all incoming trains brought new arrivals
to swell their ranks. The city had prepared for their coming
and many houses along the principal streets were decked in holiday
attire and wearing the stars and stripes as the finishing touch
to their costume. "Old Glory" waved in every direction
and on every breeze floated the strains of the war hymns, the
inspiring notes of which had cheered the old veterans along many
weary marches. The whole city seemed to feel the impulse that
made the Ohioan and the Texan march in column together and caused
the color-bearers to inter-lock the stars and stripes with the
stars and bars.
The old soldiers paid little attention
to business yesterday. They were too full of enthusiasm at the
success of their eleventh annual encampment, too intent on shaking
everybody's hands to settle down to work. And besides, there
was very little to be done besides parading, looking at the ladies,
listening to "Rally 'Round the Flag," as watching Gen.
Cabell's boys grow wild over "Dixie."
The parade from 11 o'clock till
noon was the chief feature of the day and was viewed by thousands.
All along the line of march, the streets were crowded, and Bostwick's
men and Cabell's men were cheered alike. Eighty-six members of
Sterling Price camp U. C. V., under the immediate command of
Lieut. Harvey Campbell, followed in the rear of the Grand Army
men, their color-bearer leading with the flag, at the side of
which, fluttered the emblem of the union. Gen. Cabell rode with
the Grand Army department commanders and smiled when one of his
men raised a yell for "Old Tige."
The column was formed on Main street
with its head resting on Ervay. Many of the veterans had forgotten
the discipline they once observed and Marshall Steere and his
assistants were kept busy arranging the lines. The day was very
warm and some of the visiting comrades refrained from joining
in the march because they were unwilling to undergo the fatigue.
The parade moved promptly at 11
o'clock with Chief Arnold and six of his men leading the line.
Behind them, came the first band. The air to which the column
moved was the war song of the confederacy and everybody cheered
when "Dixie" was begun. A spectacle that cause affecting
comment was the presence of two old soldiers, who, unable to
walk because of the bullets of war, rode in a buggy, their crutches
telling a story that appealed to all. The department officers,
W. W. Bostwick, commander; H. E. Conger, senior vill commander;
R. P. Sarget, junion vill commander; W. P. Flemming, medical
director; T. K. Crowley, chaplain; E. L. Witman, assistant adjutant
general, and John L. Boyd, assistant quarter master general,
participated in the parade. After the Grand Army and the Confederate
veterans came the Sanger Zouaves of Dallas, in their new uniforms.
Then followed the newly organized
Dallas camp of the Sons of Veterans, looking prouder than their
fathers. A score of representatives of the Woman's Relief corps
and the city council in carriages completed the column.
After the parade, which moved along
Ervay to Elm, to Austin, to Main, Main to North Harwood and thence
to Turner hall, where the convention is held, came a scene that
was pretty indeed. In front of the hall, the color bearers, bearing
the flags that once waved defiance at each other, were halted,
the two men faced, while ex-federals and ex-confederates, catching
the folds of the opposite flags, formed a starry arch, under
which the whole column marched. Every man who passed under, doffed
his cap in respect to the emblems while the crowd cheered. The
band played "Marching Through Georgia," and amid a
scene of much enthusiasm, the parade was dismissed.
The old soldiers crowded into the
hall to catch a sight of the place where their sessions are to
be held, while they rested and were cooled. Deft hands had been
at work. In a score of places, were the words: "Welcome,
Comrades," while the walls and ceiling were festooned in
gay profusion with flags and bunting. The crowds slowly dispersed
to their hotels to await the coming of evening and the rich programme
that was in store for them.
An executive session of the delegates
was held at the hall at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, at which
business that concerned the department was transacted.
A public feature of the session
was the presentation of a handsome horn chair to Commander Bostwick
by the officers of his staff. The following was the presentation
speech:
"During the past year, our
official and fraternal relations with you have been very harmonious
and a source of great pleasure to all, and recognizing your very
efficient and zealous administration during your term of office,
your official staff desires to present to you this testimonial,
which, but feebly expresses the love, esteem and fraternal fellowship
which they feel for you. This testimonial is in part emblematic
of one of the great products of our state, and is of home manufacture."
Commander Bostwick was too surpsied
to make an audible reply.
The chair is made from the horns
of the classic "Texas steers," marbled Jersey horns
and crescents from the heads of Texas Durhams, gracefully entertwined
with a pair of slender horns, which, one day, did brave service
on the head of an Angora billy goat. On a silver plate upon the
back is inscribed "Presented to Department Commander W.
W. Bostwick by the eleventh annual encampment, Dallas, Tex.,
April 21, 1896, W. F. Cottman; chief of staff; J. L. Boyd, acting
quartermaster general; E. L. Wittman, acting adjutant general;
E. G. Rust, department inspector; John Glynn, E. M. Goodman,
W. L. Lawthorn, aids."
In executive session, after the
report of the committee on credentials had been heard, the following
committees were appointed:
On commanders' report--Comrades
Parks, Rust, Work.
On assistant adjutant general's
report--Comrades Metzler, Rice, Hume.
On quartermaster general's report--Comrades
Mann, Nash, Works.
On inspector's report--Comrades
Johnson, Purnell, Scholl.
On chaplain's report--Comrades
Welsh, Webb, Alvord.
Rev. T. K. Crowley and Col. E.
G. Rust were appointed a committee on resolutions. A committee
on transportation was also appointed, but was knocked out.
The reports of the various officers
were read and referred to the committee appointed for their consideration.
The report of Department Commander
Bostwick was frequently interrupted by hearty applause. All reports
showed up well for this order, both as to membership and finances.
The appearance of Gen. A. G. Weissert,
past commander-in-chief, was the signal for long and hearty applause.
The encampment received him standing. Gen. Weissert, who is unusually
popular, and who made every comrade in Texas his lifelong friend
upon his former visit to this state, comes as the guest of the
department of Texas, and at the request of Commander-in-chief
Walker, as his representative. Gen. Weissert made a short address,
dwelling upon the pleasure it gave him to again visit Texas.
The invitation extended by Oak
Cliff and the Oak Cliff railway officials to visit that city,
was accepted. The hour set for the excursion is 5 o'clock to-day.
The session adjourned to meet at
9:30 to-day.
To-day will probably witness the
close of the encampment. There are three candidates in the field
for department commander and the fight will be a close one, with
no prospect of an election until one of the three shall have
dropped out. The prevailing feeling is one of friendliness, and
the man who wins will have the support of his erstwhile rivals.
Capt. George W. McCormick of John A. Dix post heads the list
and is one of the best known men in the order. "Capt. Mac,"
as he is familiarly known, served as captain of company E, seventh
Michigan cavalry, Custer's old brigade. He goes in the race with
almost the unanimous support of the two posts here and has strength
in all delegations. There is an unwritten law against giving
the highest honor to a resident of the city in which the encampment
is held and his friends say that an observance of this would
be the only thing that can beat him.
Senior Vice Department Commander
Conger of Waco is also before the encampment as an applicant
for honor. Col. Conger has made a most efficient vice commander
and has strength in every delegation, although he comes with
a divided home representation.
Last, but not least, is John Roach,
the little Irish hustler of the department, who hails from Dublin,
Tex., but who was born in Portland, Me., and who served a three-months'
service in the Taunton light guard and a three-years' term in
the twenty-second Massachusetts infantry, raised and commanded
by Henry L. Wilson, afterward vice president. Capt. Roach won
his honors on many [a] battle field. He is widely known and his
Irish wit enlivens every camp fire within his bailiwick. He and
Capt. McCormick are officers of the United American Veterans.
Mayor Holland delivered the address
of welcome to the veterans, and Commander Bostwick responded.
Last night, C. I. Evans, on behalf
of Sterling Price camp Confederate Veterans, addressed the audience
at Turner hall, and Past Commander-in-Chief Weissert followed.
The exercises included music and
recitations as per programme published in The News yesterday.
The delegates will convene at Turner
hall at 10 o'clock this morning for the transaction of the business
of the department.
The following programme will be
observed at the hall to-night:

A. R. Williams of Denison, Ben, Rue of Houston.
Resolutions--Mesdames Annie M.
Wingrove of Denison, Clara Allen of Sherman, Martha Leeds of
Dallas.
A committee on conditions was also
appointed. The reports of the different officers were read and
referred to the committees. These reports show that the order
has gained in every direction during the past year.
A letter of greeting was read amid
great enthusiasm from Past National President Mrs. Emma R. Wallace
of Chicago, who attended the convention at Waco last year.
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Turner of Boston,
the national president of this order, also sent a letter of greeting
and regret that she could not meet the ladies. Mrs. Meyers, who
was elected junior vice president last year, and who resigned
her office sometime since upon removal to Illinois, also sent
a letter of greeting to her former associates, which was heartily
cheered.
Like all political parties sin
Texas, the W. R. C. is divided into factions, and like these
same political parties, the order this year bears a brave crop
of candidates for the honors within the gift of the convention.
The only office discussed thus far is that of department president.
The struggle for this will be something worth watching, and after
that is selected, candidates for the other offices will spring
up.
The most prominent candidates are
Mrs. Lily Kline of Waco, Mrs. Nash of Dallas, Mrs. Rush of Houston
and Mrs. La Moreau of Dallas. All of these ladies are popular
in the order, and it remains to be seen which will prove the
best politician.
The second session meets at 9 a.
m. to-day.
Notes Here and There.
The delegates'
badge worn this year is the handsomest ever gotten out by the
order in Texas. A deep blue silk ribbon, bearing the legend,
"Eleventh Annual Encampment Department Texas G. A. R., Dallas,
Tex., April 21, 1896," bears in the center a peculiar convex
circle, within which the G. A. R. badge is wrought in most beautiful
colors.
Major J. J. Weiler of John A. Dix
post is the only man in the encampment who wears the badge of
the Army of the Cumberland, a bronze disk, within which, is engraved
an acorn in relief. The acorn was the fourteenth army corps badge.
Major Weiler carries in his inside pocket, a carte de viste photograph
of Terry's Texas rangers (8th Tex. Cav.), which he captured in
Alabama. Despite the lapse of years, the colors are preserved,
and the dark blue field, with its white center bearing the bars
in a beautiful red, set with tiny stars, around which is written,
in steel plate copy almost, the words, "Terry's Texas Rangers,
Decit Amor Patria," shows up with a touch of brightness
that is pathetic as one remembers the brave men who bore the
original.
Another keepsake highly prized
by Major Weiler is the pistol and belt which belonged to Col.
John A. Washington, who was said to be a nephew of George Washington,
and who was serving as topographical engineer and aide upon the
staff of Gen. R. E. Lee at the time of his death. These were
given to Major Weiler by order of Secretary of War Cameron.
Col. W. H. Christian of Dublin
is the possessor of a handsome and unique badge, which was presented
to him by the Nineteenth Illinois Infantry Veteran club, after
a service of two years as its president. This club is the largest
regimental club in the United States, and its members are armed,
equipped and uniformed. A gold scroll bears the inscription,
"Presented to Comrade W. H. Christian by the members of
the Nineteenth Illinois Veteran Club." Suspended from this
is a gold bar, to which is attached pendant a gold rim surrounding
a piece of mussel shell from stone river, upon which is an acorn
carved from laurel rock taken from Lookout mountain. Both of
these souvenirs were taken while the respective fields were occupied
by troops. The acorn bears a silver head of a tiger, made from
the die of the old Ellsworth zouavs' whip, which were, at one
time, the crack military organization of the United States. On
the reverse side is a list of battles in which the regiment was
engaged, twenty-six in number, and dating from 1861 to 1864.
Col. W. D. Wylie, who is past department
commander, resembles Col. John A. Joyce of Washington, D. C.,
widely known through his poems and the battle royal which he
and Ella Wheeler Wilcox waged upon each other over the authorship
of the poem, "Laugh and the World Laughs with You,"
Wylie and Joyce look alike to such a degree that the two are
being constantly mistaken for each other.

The Daughters
of the Confederacy, under whose auspices a grand Confederate
picnic will take place Saturday at Oak Cliff park, state that

living in this city or country, or to members of the local camp.
Confederates, whether members of any camp or not, are heartily
asked to attend. This includes all Sons of Confederate Veterans
and all Daughters of the Confederacy and the wives of all ex-Confederates.
A pleasant reunion, plenty of refreshment,
and a good time generally, are promised.

Soldiers Will Get
$80,000;
________
The Money Will Be
Received in a
Few Days.
Major Wilkins,
one of the three paymasters of the department of the gulf, who
will hand out to the officers and privates of the second Texas
their stipends next Wednesday, said yesterday that the amount
to be paid out would be about $80,000. this immense sum will
be sent here in specie and currency by the government. The handling
of such a large sum of cash will require a detail of soldiers
to guard its transmission to Camp Cabell.
There were a large number of visitors
at the camp yesterday and, during the past week, the white-tented
city has been an object of interest to many hundreds of Dallas
people. The soliders are patiently waiting for the final day
to come. They are comfortable and express the hope that the good
weather at present will continue until Wednesday.

CONFEDERATE
PENSION DAY
________
A Large Number of
Applicants
Examined Yesterday.
_______
JUDGE FOREE KEPT
VERY BUSY.
_______
The Court Room Was
Well Filled
With Relics of the Lost
Cause.
The twenty-sixth
general assembly of Texas provided for the distribution of an
amount of money not to exceed $250,000 annually among indigent
ex-Confederates and their widows. Under the provisions
of the law, prospective pensioners must be examined by the county
judge and, if endorsed by him, their applications will go before
the commissioners' court for approval. Then, the applications
go to the state authorities named in the act for final approval.
Judge Foree has had several "Confederate
Pension days" in his court, but on none of them was there
such a rush as was evidenced yesterday. The courtroom was
all but crowded with aged and infirm men and women. Many
were cripples and not one seemed sound in body or limb. They
looked what they were--the picture of the relics of a bloody
strife and told a story of the devastation of war more forcibly
than the artist's brush or writer's pen. Men used to trying
scenes could not supress a sigh at the sight of such an assembly
of maimed men and of women still in weeds.
There were sorrows to solace and
cares to lighten that no general assembly could touch, but Judge
Foree did the best he could.
The court was kept extremely busy.

OLD SOLDIERS
FORCED TO WAIT
______
Cannot Collect Pension
Warrants
Until State Gets Money.
By The Associated Press.
Austin, Tex., June 30. -- The Confederate
pension department of the comptroller's office will begin the
issue of warrants to pensioners on Monday, July 2. The amount
is $14 for the quarter beginning July 1. Owing to a deficiency
of funds in the state treasury to meet appropriations out of
the general revenue, every warrant, before mailing, will be registered
by the state treasurer and will be paid by him in their turn.
It will take about a month before the issue of warrants can be
completed.

DRAFTED NEGROES
TO BE MOBILIZED
BEFORE NOV. 1
Two hundred
and sixty-six Dallas and Dallas county negroes, called in the
army draft some weeks ago, will be mustered into service within
the next two weeks, according to dispatches from the war department
at Washington.
The Dallas and Dallas county boards
have practically exhausted their quotas of white men, but no
negroes have been called into service as yet. One hundred and
fourteen of the negroes to be called will be from the city and
152 from the rural districts. North Dallas leads in number, fifty-three
men having been certified. Several of these negroes, however,
have appeals before the District exemption board at Fort Worth.
South Dallas will contribute thirty, and the same number will
be sent from East Dallas. In Oak Cliff, there was but one lone
negro who passed the physical examination and did not file exemption
claims. However, twelve were certified by Chairman Simpson of
the board and their appeals are pending with the District Board,
with chances that they will become soldiers in a few days. Of
the 152 certified by Chairman Rislen of the county board, several
have carried their cases before the District board. That body
is expected to concur in the decision of the local board.
The District Board at Fort Worth
has informed the East Dallas Board that the following exemption
claims had not been allowed: Chas. L. Byrd, 4312 Live Oak; Weise
L. Haynes, 4311 Gurley; Claude E. Manes, 3433 Commerce and Elmer
S. Kerne, 1818 Bennett. The exemption claims of Nolan Brown,
4508[?] Reiger and Jack Strange, 837 Kentucky, have been allowed.
