President Hurrisoii ndJrussell the veterans
of his old hrlsadoas follivs :
"Comrades : The object Of my visit to

were associated In tbo brigudo In isilj wo
\voroall somewhat new to military duties and

como together , animated by a common pur-
purpose , from every pur.su it In lifo. Wowero
not so curly in the Held ns some of our com
rades.Vo yield them tlio lion or of longer
service , but ! think wo may claim for our
selves that when our hands were lifted to
trlkothe enlistment oath there was no induce
ment for any man to KO Into tlio army
with the expectation that ho was
entering on a holiday. In early
clays men thought or hoped It would IK ) brief.
They did not measure its duration or breadth.
They did not at all rightly estimate the nwful
sacrifices that wore to bo made bcfoi-o peace
with honor was assured. I well remember
an incident of the early days nf volunteering
at Indianapolis when tbo llrst companies in
response to the llrst call of President Lincoln
came hurrying to the capitol. Among the
jlrst to arrive was ono from Lafayette ,
under command of Captain Chris MiUor.
Thoycainoin very tumultously and very'en
thusiastic for alight. Thcso companies \vei-c
orjjani/.od Into regiments , which one by one
were sent Into West Virginia or oUierilelds
for service. ] t happened that the regiment
to-which my friend Miller was assigned was
about to leave the state. I met him ono day
on the sl.rt'ct and a mora mad
and despondent soldier I never saw.
Ife was not absolutely choice in the use
of his language ; all soldiers were not. I
think thu First brigade TOW an exception.
[ Laughter. ] Ho was swearinK llko n pirate
over the disgrace that had befallen his asso
ciates , growing out of the fact that ho was
absolutely cotaln that the war would ho over
before they got In the Hold left In camp n
stranded regiment , having no part
in putting down the rebellion.
Well his day came presently
and ho was ordered to "West "Vlrpinia , and
among the first of those who were under the
lire of the enemy at Hich mountain and re
ceived a millet through his body was Captain
Chris Miller. When these regiments of ours
were enlisted wo were not apprehensive that
the war would bo over bo fore wo had had an
adequate share of ih.Vo were pretty cer
tain that nil would have enough before \ve
were through. The clouds were dark in
these days of Wi. 'McCMland
was shut up In the peninsula ,
Bucll was coming back from
Alabama , ICirbv S. Smith was entering
thvouplx Cumberland Gap anil everything
set-mud discouraging. I think I may claim
for these men of- Illinois and thet > o men of
Indiana mid of Ohio that when they enlisted
there was no other motive than pure , down
right patriotism and Ihoro was no mlsunder-
sUmdingof the serious import of tlio work on
which thov entered. [ Applause. ] These
curly days in which wo were being trans
ferred from civilians Into soldiers were full
oC trials and hardships. The ofllccrsworo
sometimes bumptous nnd unduly severe.
The soldiers had not yet got to understand
why a cami ) guard should bo cstabli hcdwhy
they should not bo at perfect liberty logo to
tpwn. Hut these days were passed soon and
they passed sooner \vlion the men went into
active duties. I always noticed that there
was no great need of a camp ftuard
after the boys had marched"twenty -
live .miles. Then a serious tlino
came when sickness devastated us and di
sease swept Its swarlh. Then there cnmo
out of nil this that body of tough , strong men
ready for inarch and liKht that made up the
great armies which , trailer ( Irani anil Slior-
innn and Sheridan , curried the llavr to tri
umph. The survivors of some of them nro
hero todav , and whatever else has coino
to us In life , whether of honor
or disappointment , I do not think there Is any
of us not me , Iain sure who would today
exchange Iho satis ruction , the heart cot fort
wo have In having been part of the great
army that subdued the rebellion , Hint saved
tbo country , the constitution and the Hag.
[ .Applause ] . If I wore asked today to ex
change it for any honor that bus come to mo
I would lay down any civil oillce rather than
surrender the satisfaction I have in having
been nn bum bio partaker with , you In that
creal war. [ Applause. ] Whoshall measure
it ! Well , RGiicmtions hence , when this coun
try , which had 50,000,001) , , now00,000,001) , be
come 100,000,000 , when these institutions of
ours grow anil develop and spread nnd hon '
ors In which happiness nnd comfort hnvo'
their nhiditiK place , then wo may begin to
rcallio north and soath what this work was ,
Wo but imperfectly see It nowet
wo have seen iMiouKh of the the glory of the
Lord to fill our souls full of quiet enthusiasm ,
[ .Applause. ] Ihopothorois not a soldier hero
fn'whom the lovu of the Hag has died out. I
believe there Is not ojie In whoso heart It is
not a growing passion. I think a great deal
of the interest in the Hag wo see among our
chihhen. It Is hecauso yon Imvo taught them
what the Hag meant. No ono knows how
beautiful it is whom wo see it displayed here
on this quiet October day , amid thcso
quiet autumnal scene . In those- long , tiro-
somn inarchos. in thosct hours ot sinolio nnd
bat tlo and darkness , what was there that was
Deautlful except the starry banner that
floated over us. fApplnuse. ] Our country
has t'rowa and developed until it Is today
marvelous among the nations of
the earth. It has developed. L
trust and bnliovo , not only In thoHo material
things which nro great , but Is developing also
in these qualities of niliiil and heart , in mor
ality , in love or order , hi sobriety , In respect
for tbo law , In Cod-fearing disposition , in
love forour jiooplo. I bcllovu that the sol
diers in their places have mode largo contri
butions to nil these things. "
The president spoke eloquently of that
modern marvel the dijbundment of the
great army at the close of the war. To bliu
it seemed like the snow which nature puts
on the earth In the winter season to protect
vcgotutlon and which In spring melts nnd
disappears and settles in the earth
to clothe it with verdure and
beauty. This Is n good typo of the disband-
incut of tuo army. It wrapped the country
llko n. mnntlo of defense when It wivs In
] i rlU but when the danger was passed net
tled Into every avouuu nnd pursuit , and stim
ulated all of them to liveliest growth. Ho
referred to the fact that ago was crooning
upon the veterans , and that their bodily
strength might not e&luro another war if
ono were to come. "But It is a great comfort
to feel , " said ho , ' 'that the necessity is not
likely to bo laid upon us. 1 think It safe to
predict that wo are not likely to Imvo anymore
moro rebellions in the United Status. What
ever mischief may by wrought under ouo
form or another. I do not anticipate wo chall
have ( mother rebellion In any quarter or from
nay causa. Ono altciAjit hat thoroughly dta *
rou raged the others. The futility of it wni
thoroughly ostabllshtd as well as tlo- ( fact
that a.11 overwhelming mass of our people
will In any daniror I do not cnra what Its
origin , whether It bo from rebellion or the
upllfiluR of the flag of annrchy rite in their
might with a sentiment Hint will sweep nny
ttiinir which is uplifted , against the orderly
well being ot thli country of ours. [ Great
applause. ]
The president referred to his recent visit to
the lloston Grand Army encampment , on
which occasion heaw 1O.OOO Sons oC Voter-
nns following the Grand Army , and said I
"I never was so impressed with the great
thought that while \vo move on , nnd may ho
a little anxious n ? to how things nro logo on.
how this country is to bo defended and
Ita flti r upheld when wo are gone ,

demonstration of the fact that there stand in

when the last-war brolco out , tilled Just as
you were with devotion to the country , nnd

foreign or dome.-stii1. assailed the honor
of the Hap. [ Applause. ] Wo are hero

and never ought to bo omitted
In city or country.Vhcn ono of
thcso old soldiers makes lib last surrender ,

the grave , [ Applause. ] Is'ow , my comrades ,
1 want to say to you in conclusion that It
refreshes mo to bowith you. Men in public
places lire comctlmos not about by these who
have their own purposes , cuds , desires and
demands , some of them reasonable , but
not all of thorn , nnd 1 feel n
great comfort in bolng hero In the comrade
ship and society of these old friends , who ,
I nm sure , love me , not because they hnvo
anything to expect i"rom me , but for the Rood
imldIangsyne. Letmo thank you for hav-
lap iloiio mo the honor of iiRaln
making mo president of this associ
ation. I hope to bo spared and
that you may bo spared to incot together
moro than once again. There may bo times ,
I hope , -\vhon my coining may not attract so
many people und wo can linvo things more
to ourselves. [ Applause ] , It will give mo
ple.isuro now to introduce any victims you
may select. [ Lausjhtcr " anil npplauso and
cries for ( iencral "Uustlii. ] I remember at
Gall.itln , wnen General Dustin's regiment
was making a rather complicated evolution ,
that compAny Cdid not understand the word
oC command and they started oft in the
wrong direction altogether. Some of us
in the other regiments -were looking on nnd
the colonel with great disgust struck his
sword Into the ground. I cannot use his Ian-
Kuago altogether [ npplausn and laughter ] ,
but no said : 'Good-uye , Company C ; If you
come this way again , come to eco us. ' "
[ Laughter. ]
At the conclusion of the president's re
marks the applause brought General Dastln
to the f x-ont and that gentleman spoke briefly.
ITosaid the story just recounted by the pres
ident had been told so often and with so
many variations that ho thought a Jury who
heard all the conflicting accounts would hnvo
no hesitancy in pronouncing him " .Kot
ljullty. " | Laughter. |
Congressman Henderson of Illinois
nnd several old members of the
brigade were called upon and spoke
briefly , after which the veterans passed In
single file past tlio president , who grasped
each cordially by the hand and gave It a vig
orous shako , with a few words of cheer.
The president was now driven to the hotel ,
-where ho retired to a private room , up too
p. m.
During the afternoon an old lady called and
exhibited to the president si letter which
made her the most welcome caller of the day.
She was a sister of the instructor of his
youth , .ToiephN. Porter of Maryland , nnd
the loiter she exhibited-\vns ono written by
the president at the ngo of ton years In 1SI3.
This evening the president attended a
banquet given by the Phi Delta Theta so
ciety at the college hall. After a few intro
ductory words to hU brethren of the Thl
Delta Theta society , the president said In
part : ' ! feel the greatest sympathy with
these young men who arono-vr disciplining
their minds for the work of life. I would not ,
have them mnko thcso days toostrious , and
yet they aru full of portent and promise. If
I were to select the watchword that I would
hnvo every young man write
above his door and on his heart
It would bo the good word Tldelity. '
I know of no better. A man -who meets evcrv
obligation to his faintly , to society , to the
state , to his country nnd his God to the very
best measure of his strength and ability can
not fall of that assurance nnd quietness that
comes of a good conscience and will seldom
fall of the approval of hlsfello w-meii and will
never fall of that reward which is promised
to faithfulness. Unfaithfulness , lack of
fidelity to duty , to work nnd obligation is to
open the door to nil that is disgraceful and
degrading. "
Later the president attended a banquet
given by the First brigade.

inhabitants , hut made no speeches. Ilurling-

thusiastic reception was accorded the presi

The party was welcomed with the boom

the part oC Mr. Buotens.whohas directed the
club for a year or more , 1'ho first , a selec
tion from 'Mnritaiia , ' , was very effectively
played by the amateurs , their -work showing
a gratifying knowledge of the requirements
of the score. In the second , however , the
club showed to much better advnntago , their
phrasing being particularly worthy of notice ,
the strings and brasses boine in perfect har
mony , Miss Virginia Ilobinson in this num
ber played a short violin solo very prettily ,
while .Mr. Julius Festner cnuqht the popular
heart with his solo oa the zither.
The gem of the concert , however , was "Tho
Song of the Spirit , " In which Miss Bayliss
sustained the soprano part , the Apollo club
singing the chorus. Tliowords owe their
origin to Mr. Nye , the music to IMmo Younff ,
nnd nothing that has boon heard on the
operatic stage for several yours seems so
effective , so full of sentiment as this new
song- from an untried oporn. Miss Bayliss ,
who was in excellent voice , gave an artislio
interpretation of the sontf which deserved
tho''bravos" that echoed from nil over the
house.
Mrs. Calm , who Is always u conscientious
'
artist , quite surprised her 'friends by the ren
dition of "Don Carlos,11 by Verdi.
Mw. Nyols heard too little In concert. She
has a very sweet , sympathetic contralto ,
which she uses in a nmsiciimly manner , th o
beautiful quality of bcr voice bolng well
brought out In the rendering of "When in
the Karly Morn. "
Mr , Wherry sang a dainty bit of Jensen's ,
"Murmuring Zephyrs , " very prettily. His
high tenor scumcd to bo particularly suited
to this song , and so excellently was it given
that ho was compelled to respond to an en
core.

very illfllcull hrritono solo , "En1 Tu , " by
Verdi , very creditably , n olwlthsUiidlng that
up until the last moment business cares

Tlio Subject Discussed nt a IMootlng of
Oiimha Physicians.
A meeting of the regular physicians of the
city met nt the Paxton last night In response
to a call for the purpose of considering the
best means of securing the passaceof legisla
tion for resuming the practice of medicine.
There were present Drs. Kloanor Dally ,
Alary Strong , Stone , Uurroll , Spraguc , Coff-

Lavender , MacDonnld , Somers , Ediulston ,
Bacon , Holmes , Stout , "Wirth , Seville and
Itosewater. J. J. Solomon was nlso on hand.
The meeting was called to order by Dr.
Mllroy , and Dr. Lord was elected sccretai-y.
Mr. Mllroy stated that tlio mooting had
been called at the request of about n do/.cn
"
physicians , nnd it hud "been decided to invite
qualified physicians to attend the meeting ,
The object of the mooting- was to tuko stops
to secure the proper legislation.
Dr. ICublmami stated that Mr. Solomon
had been convicted in the police court on the
chnrRe of not being a properly qualified
physician , nnd ho therefore moved that the
gentleman bo requested to retire. The
motion received several seconds nnd was
carried unanimously. Mr. Solomon said ho
had thought \vouldbo allowed to jnako n
statement to exonerate himself , but if that
wns denied ho would retire. Silotico pre
vailed nnd the gentleman made his escape.
At the request of the chair , Dr. Wilkinson
made a statement of the status of the work
commenced against irrepnlar practitioners ,
which would have to be pushed to the higher
courts if it was intended to mnko It effective ,
thereby involving considerabo uxponso ,
Dr. Cruinnior spoke nt length of thn legis
lation needed to accomplish a ( .roncral raising
of the standard practitioners. Ho was of the
opinion that It was bust to make the diploma
a test of ability in lieu of a better resort. In
some of the other states n rigid examination
of all applicants was required whether they
were supplied with a diploma or not , but this
method was very cumbersome nnd expensive.
What was needed was nn amendment totho
present law providing for the appointment of
a board of health to hnvo charge of such mat
ters in the state.
Dr. Dinsmoor spoke of his experience In
tryinglo secure tlio passnpo of lofrhlatipn
providing- the creation of a state board of
health. It was impossible to appoint surth n
board , as it was not provided for in the con
stitution , and the only way to el around it
would bo to appoint the Rovcrdor its the
board ot health and allow him to appoint several -
oral physicians as an advisory council.
lictnarkaof u similar character favoring
the establishment of a state hoard of health
were made by DM. Kuhhnami , Christie , Van
Camp , Hoffman and Sprapruo.
Dr. Gapen favored stcp < to cnfori'o the
present hi w , which was very comprehensive.
It wis finally decided to request the Joint
committees of the different societies to sub
mit a plan nf a hill embodying the ido is ex
pressed uttho meeting , to bo submitted to a
