In Grand Army Hall, was crowded with guests last evening, hun dreds being unable to get into the hall to listen to the program of music and speak ing which was presented by Burnside Post ami Corps after the installation of the officers of the post and auxiliary for the ensuing year. The hall was richly deco rated with flags and bunting and Christmas greens. Burnside Post met in its post hall at an early hour and completed the business of the outgoing administration, then installed i its officers, the impressive ceremonies being performed by Prof. B. F. Janney, assist ant adjutant general of the Department of I the Potomac, who, by siiecial request, act- I ed hs installing officer. Adjournment was \ then taken to admit the members of Burn sid Relief Corps and th< ir friends. as well as the crowds of other invited guests. Burnside Corps officers were installed by Mr Mathilda li. Srrague. past president of ti.e Department of the Potomac, who Is also on>- of the honored members of the corps. Flowers ar.d flags wore the decorations. Mrs. Lid a J. Hart, president of the Department of Poiomac. VV. li. who Is also a mem ber of Burn.-ide Corps, was present by spe cial invitation, accompanied by the mem bet* of her depattment staff, and escorted to the platform with all the honors due her high office amid enthusiastic applause and | the waving of the Hags in the hands of the escort. The corps room was crowded with gue-ts, members of other corps. List of Officers. Tie officers installed were as follows: President, Mrs. Margaret Gallagher; senior vice president, Mrs. Rachel Richardson; junior vice president, Mrs. Mary V. Xoerr; chaplain, Mrs. Lucinda Grtiber; treasurer. Mrs. Emma J. Newton; conductor. Miss Grace Leonard; guard, Miss Jennie Hamil ton. assistant guard, Mrs. Ros i Burke: secretary, Mrs. Anna Sanborn Hamilton; press correspondent. Miss Vina C^andaJl; patriotic instructor. Mrs. Nancy Ayers; musician. Mrs. Mary Leonard; color bear ers. Mrs. Gertrude Strickland, Mrs. Chris tian Carruthers, Mrs. Nettie Lyon, Mrs. Rosalie Shelton. The officers of the post installed wore: Commander. L. I). Alden; senior vice com mander, George Newton; junior vice com mander. H. L. Deam: quartermaster. Geo. T. Carter: surgeon, George H. LaFetra; chaplain. M. L. Leonard; officer of the day, William Emerson; officer of the guard, E. B. Gregg; adjutant. Chris. Storm; sergeant major. James C. Veatch; quartermaster sergeant. William W. Wild. The program which followed the instal lations was of that quality which com mands attention to the last number. Among the soloists was Prof. Jasper McFail. who sang several of the songs which have so greatly endeared him to the veterans, and finally responding, on request, with the song dedicated to General Logan by its author. Chaplain McCabe, "Ail Ready for Inspection in the Morning." "A soldier 3 welcome" also greeted the singing of Mr. Harrv J. Statam. and the "daughter of the post." Miss Mary E. Wild, whose father was installed as quartermaster sergeant, both of whom responded to encores. The band of the New Willard Hotel, about 10 o'clock, added to the rarely fine musical features of the evening by playing a beau , tiful arrangement of war time patriotic airs, some of them so familiar that the | audience sang as the band pla>ed. Staff Members Remembered. Just before resigning her gavel, Mrs. I Gertrude Strickland, the retiring president, who is one of the youngest women to hold that responsible position in the corps, it is said, presented to each of her staff officers a handsome handkerchief, the work of her own hands. She said that during the year she had been most loyally supported by her officers, and that the work of the corps had gone on very smoothly, for which she wish ed to thank both officers and members, as without their united support she could have accomplished very little. Mrs. Strickland was herself the recipient of a bouquet of roses and carnations from members of Burnside Post, and was sur I prised into "eloquent silence" by the presen tation. a little later, of a dainty gold badge of the corps. The badge is solid gold, with the emblem in tri-colored enamel for a drop, the bar pin being in scroll design. The preservation was all the more of a surprise, as It is said that Burnside Corps has never fully indorsed the idea of presen tations to retiring presidents, Mrs. Hart, the present department president, receiv ing from that corps, it is said, the first tiadge ever presented, until this came to Mrs. Strickland. The pin bears an appro priate inscription, and was presented by Mrs. Shelton. the retiring senior vice presi dent of the corps, on behalf of the corps members. Mrs. Strickland, in rather a "still small voice," accepted the badge with thanks. ? The Addresses. Among the speakers of the evening was Commissioner It. B. F. Macfarland, who said he had completed a trio of patriotic meetings of the evening by visiting Burn side Post and corps installation. He said that lie too. "was in arms during the civil war, but it was the arms of a nurso." which was greeted with laughter. He said that he was never happier than when in the pres ence of meu who defended the flag and saved the nation. Another guest was Col. Henry A. Castle, former auditor for the Post Office Depart ment. who happened to be in the city, and was called upon for a speech. He said it gave him great though unexpected pleas tire to speak to his Grand Army friends, and he spoke of Ills long service In that organization, which extends nearly thirty nine years back. Col. John Tweedale. adjutant general of the Grand Army of the Republic, presented the regrets of the commander-in-chief, who | was unable-to be present, and then urged his comrades to newer and more vigorous effort in recruiting the ranks of the organ ization which, he said, lost 100.0(H) members last year, largely through death. He then recited a poem, which had bc-eti written by the late John Hay, which aroused great en thusiasm. Mrs. M. M. Haywood gave a negro dialect reading which brought her a hearty encore, and she responded with a dainty bit of Riley's verse. Among the guests invited to the platform during the evening were Mrs. Lida J. Hart, president of the department of the Poto mac. W. R. C ; Mrs. Margaret J. Gallagher, president of Burnside Corps; Senior Vice Department Commander B. F. Entrikin, B. F. Janney. Mrs. Annie W. Johnson, Mrs. Gertrude Strickland and many others. Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Gallagher spoke briefly on the work of the Woman's Relief Corps and its interest in and loyal allegiance to the Grand Army of the Republic. At the close of the exercises a general re ception followed, and ices and cakes were served to the guests. The Memorial Bridge Bill. Senator Daniel called the Memorial bridge 1.111 up in the Senate yesterday afternoon end endeavored to have it passed. Sen ator Allison said the subject was a very important one. and thought more time should be taken for It. Under that ob jection the bill was passed over. Bridge and Pensions Bills Passed. Before the adjournment of the Senate yesterday afternoon eighty bills were pass i ii, leaving on the calendar only six or fnen measures. Of the bills passed, a large majority grant private pensions, ana .many were bridge bills. One of the bills favorably acted upon appropriates fUnu.UJO fi t the appropriate marking of the graves 01 confederate .soldiers who died In north ern prisons during the civil war. Children's Hospital Open to All. Mr. Frederic L. Moore, president of the board of directors of the Children's Hos pital, declares to be incorrect the Impression that prevails that admission to the institu tion can be gained only through the board of charities is erroneous. The hospital, he states, receives a ccrtain number of pa tients from the board, but these are paid lor by the District government. The In stitution, Mr. Moore adds, receives child patients of all kinds and classes. Seaman Apprentice John F. Rollfe lied at tho naval training station at Newport, R.
