THE SALVATION ARMY.

Five DesertIons From The Ranks In

 The meetings of the Salvation Army yesterday were enlightened by the pres ence of Major Chatterton of New York. The major IS a woman, and was drawn through the streets Saturday evening in a carriage by a number of the local corps. The South Manchester band ren- iered music at the exercises Saturday night and yesterday.
 It is announced that five soldies have decided to lay aside the armor of the salvationists. They are Miss Edith Ekcles, Miss Edith Burkley, John Swarz, James Tripp and Asa W. La mont. It is said that Captain Frazee, the leader of the army here, charged that the five did not do their share finan- cialIy and otherwise for the entertain ment of the guests. His insinuations caused dissatisfaction and the five be- came very independent. The young ladies, during the recent warm weather, decided to join their families at Old Orchard beach. They did so and re- turned only few days ago. The cap tain lectured them for going away with out his permission and they immediate Iy handed in their resignations after a wordy warfare. The resignations of the others followed.
