The continued cool weather is hard on
the summer resorts. But even if it is
not oppressively hot city people will live
longer and be happier if they leave bust
ness and go off for rest. Three hundred
and sixty-five days amid smoke and
ledgers only means shortening up the
years of life upon the earth. Too
many people light their candles at both
ends.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

BY far the most accurate, comprehensive, and
best arranged newspaper directory tirat has yet
been issued is the American Newspaper An
nual " compiled and published by n. w. Aver
& Son, Philadelphia It's Typography, too, is a
delight to the eye, and it is bound as a book
intended for daily use should be. Two separate
and distinct lists of newspapers are given. In
the first they are grouped in geographical di-
visions-New England, Middle Southern and
Western States and the Territories and in the
second they are arranged by States and counties
In the second list the population of towns aud
counties wherein they are published are ap-
pended, and in both the publication day, poll
ties, date of establishment size, number of
pages, circulation {and whether sworn, claimed
or estimated), and advertising rates, are stated.
Three hundred out OF the nine hundred pages
OF the Annual are taken up with the advertising
cards of individual newspapers, and these are
not only indexed in the table of contents. but
a reference to the page on which they appear
Is given opposite the name in the list itself
Testing the accuracy of its statements as TO
newspaper circulation by our own knowledge
of the circulation of Washington newspapers
at the time it was compiled, we feel warranted
In saying that advertisers may safely base their
contracts on its representations. We congrat-
ulate Messrs. n. w. Aver Il Son on the produc-
tion of a work of such beauty and utility. 1t

A Circular from the Surgeon. General.

The Surgeon General of the Army, in a re-
cent circular issued by him. calls attention to
the fact that Congress has appropriated small
sum for furnishing special surgical appliances
to those disabled in the military or naval SER
vice, and in order that this relief may reach
the class of persons intended to be benefited,
is desirous of obtaining authentic information
regarding all existing cases OF severe and un-
usual injuries.
As no money communication is authorized, only
such cases need be presented as offer fair pros
pect of being relieved by surgical or mechanical
appliances.
Artificial limbs and apparatus for disabled
limbs being otherwise provided for by law, the
injuries in view are almost exclusively those
affecting the head, face or trunk.
AS trusses are furnished under special legis-
lation, hernia, when not complicated with other
injuries, is not to be understood as covered by
this appropriation for special appliances.
AS the appropriation is small it is proper
that it be expended only on the most merito-
rious eases 1t is therefore, not intended to
furnish appliances which are ordinarily within
the means Of the individual, nor those that
are of s. character so perishable that it would
be difficult TO keep up the supply. Regard is
TO be had chiefly to the severity of the injury
aud the ability of the sufferer, unassisted, to
procure relief.
Correspondence on the above subject should
be addressed to the Surgeon General United
States Army, Washington, D. c.

CLEVELAND, Sept 20.
The tenth annual convention of the National
Association of the Ex- Union Prisoners of War
convened in this city yesterday and to-day.
Six State associations were represented, as fol-
lows: Ohio-George w. Obey. Dan Harmon,
John McElroy, d. P. Chamberlin Michigan
B, r, Finlayson, H. c. Hartwell, L. ]. Barnard,
w. L. Rice Illinois-Dr. G. G. Somers; Ind
lana A. S. Mccormick; Connecticut-W
Sehiein; District of Columbia--Jno c. Hawley.
In recognition of this gathering of prison
veterans. the hall had been profusely adorned
with flags and battle-scarred banners. The
walls on every side were heavily draped with
the stars and stripes and veteran flags half
hid the desks and tables about the room. Back
OF the speakers desk were suspended the si.ken
banners presented to the local association by
the citizens of Cleveland. Among che striking
notices displayed about the walls may be
mentioned the following: We forgive, but do
not forget" Prison life-its horrors are
obiiterated by the happiness and prosperity Of
united country" above the eclouds-thousands
of the victors are there" Nashyiile-hunger-
ing. thirstng, scorchfng, and freezing, but true
till death to the Union," Cali honor TO the
defenders of the old flag" A realistic painting,
depicting a familiar scene in AndersonvIlle, in
which one OF the prisoners had dragged MINI
self too near the dead-line, only to be shot
down by the watchful Johnny from the stock
ade, attracted much attention.
President b. f. Blakeslee of Hartford, called
the cor vention to order at 10 o'clock and ap-
pointed Comrades Buckingham, of Connecticut; !;
Finlayson, of Michigan; Hawley, OF Washington;
and Obey, of Ohio, committee on credentials.
From Illinois two delegations appeared one
representing Chicago, the other known as the
State Association. The Chicago delegation,
having the authority of a charter, was given
the preference, but the other delegates, Miller
and Pavey were cordially invited TO partci-
pate, aud everything went on harlnoniOusly.
The minutes of the meeting in New York
! last year. as read by Secretary Hiram Buck
ingham, of Hartford, were approved. The res
olution, which went on record at the previous
resentative in Congress from Chicago and
which placed that gentleman's position on the
pension question in rather unfavorable light,
was by vote of the convention, expunged from
the minutes.
The secretary, Gomrade E. r. Hart, of Euclid,
Ohio, in his report, acknowledged petitions for
| charters during the past year from the follow
ing State associations: Ohio, Indiana. New
York, Michigan, Connecticut, Illinois, Massa-
chusetts, apd the District of Columbia He
reported so remaining in the treasury. The
secretary also read letter from an ex-pTisoner,
who complained that the association was man
aged by officials who drew " fat salaries and
railroad fares, which, in view of the fact that
not one of the officers has ever received cent
for his services, aud that each delegate paid
his own expenses to the convention, is entirely
without foundation

PRISONERS, PENSIONS.

The subject of the most Importance and in
terest to the members of the prisoners associa-
tions throughout the country was the consid-
Grafton of pension bill. DR.. Somers of Chi
cago In speaking on motion for the appoint
ment OF committee to prepare new bill or
lhdorse one of those prepared, urged very
strongly the necessity of some decisive action
on the matter by the convention. The State
associations needed stimulating, and it was
important that Congress be urged TO do some
thing without any further unnecessary delay.
Year by year the victims of prison horrors are
growing smaller in number They are becom-
ing discouraged over the inattention TO their
petitions. Thousands of them, suffering by the
diseases that were contracted in Southern
prison pens. wasting away under the never
ending torments they endured, were unable TO
earn enough to provide themselves and families
with the bare necessities Of life, and it was of
the greatest importance that prompt and ener-
getic action be taken by this convention. Such
action, taken now, weHld stimulate the State
organizations, it wonld keep the subject before
the people, ana Congress would be compelled
to do something. The Union prisoners of war
did not appeal to the Government as paupers-
they but demanded what is justly due them.
The Government promised to throw about
her defenders her protecting arm, yet, during
the war, thousands of her brayest men were
allowed to rot in Southern pens of horror
when they might have been liberated
but for the quibbling over the cartel
of exchange Comrades H. c. Hartwell, of
Michigan; a. r. Hill, of Ohio; A. S. McCor-
nick, of Indiana: j. D. HawIey, of Washing
ton, and NJ. T. Britton, of Ohio, were appointed
a committee on pension bills. The committee
retired and considered fer some time the vari-
Gus pension bills which have been at different
times presented to Congress. They finally re-
ported IN favor OF urging the passage of House
Bill No. 1865, introduced by the Hon. James S.
Robinson, of Ohio, and which bill was indorsed
as The most feasible one yet proposed by the
convention held in New York last year. The
recommendation of the committee was adopted,
and Comrade j. c. Hawley, of Washington, was
authorized to bring the subject before Congress.
