GENERAL SHERMAN in presenting di-

them of their small troubles to come. .In
little while you will go to some military
post and he appointed AS quartornastor and
commissary. Then you will have to watch
sharp and bo ready when your superors
come around and ask how many dollars
you have in your cash box, or how many
tenpenny nails you can put in one kop.
That's more than any of YOU can tell. I
think, but To know how many is of more
Importance than some of the things YOU
study out on the black board. You have
got to learn to account for everything nut
into your care. Thcresan old house buried

hint of the painfully minute attention

army officers. Pages ON pages of
paper and gallons of ink arc wasted in alb
snrd iormalities and though IL is quite
right that each man should be held rigidly
accountable for government property, il
does seem pity that men in the vigor of

be buried in garrison 10 devote large

best they can, but the work available about

soldiers like. An army in time of peace is
avery sad and hopeless thing for a philan-

The citizens of Johnstown don't take
kindly to the portable houses bought for
them In Chicago and no wonder. The
houses are intended for n maxi eshift in tho
wilderness where pioneers are carving out
homes In the full expectation of rough
time, and they are chiefly in demand in
those parts of West where wood is very
scarce and valuable. The Johns
towners very naturally asked why
they were not given the money
instead of the wood sheds, as they
called the 500 portable houses and one
man declared that he could build two
story house for $50. II is evident that
Pennsylvania is not the place for portable
houses. Building material is about az
cheap here as anywhere, and our people
prefer 10 build their own houses when
thoy can. Tho house factory man protests
that the committee selected cheap shoddy
articles, unfit for the purpose, although his
company grinds out four and six room
homes with ceilings. But these luxurious
residences cost more in proportion, and no
doubt for the same money the Johnstown
people could build better houses, adorned
not only with ceilings but having cellars
aud glass windows.
MANAGER CHAs. Il, PUGH, OF the Penn
sylvania railroad, has arranged FOR the
thorough disintection and cleaning of the
passenger cars at least once a week and
where this can not he done special disin-
fectant will be furnished by tho company.
This is a very pleasant piece of news, but
IL the road cannot manage to clean all its
coaches nj least once a week IL IL high time
that it bought more. State authorities
should long ago have insisted upon
clean cars and all the precautions that
arc now ordered by Mr.. Pugh. Great
caution is advised in obtaining tho
supply of drinking water and where the
water Is suspected of being impure in
structions are given 10 boil IL. The order of
Mr.. Pugh concludes thus: I" II at any time
case of infectious disease is found ut n
station, in passenger coach or elsewhere
on the company's property, "A physician
should be Immediately sent for. The car
should be removed from the train ~ soon
as practicable, the doors locked, and il
should not again be used until il has been
fumigated. T"
Mr.. Pugh is only doing his duty 10 the
public, but II is so rare nowadays 10 find
men eager TO do this of their own FREQ will
that the travelling public will rise up and
call him blessed.
