SALVATION ARMY DISCIPLINE.
Story About Gen. Booth From q
Former Resident of u Hospital.
Mem York Sun


NeW York Sun.
The present trouble in the Salvation
Army has recalled some incidents sho wing
the inflextbic, not 10 say cruel, discipline
in the rank and file of the army, and the
extreme hardships undergone. especially
by the newer members. Not many OF
these stories get into print, for the new
converts are silent. A bright woman who
has lived several years In New York, but
is of English birth and trimming. told the
other day of an incident OF twelve or
thirteen years ago, which occurred while
she was a resident of Guys Hospital. OF
London. Ste was there us an indoor med
icai student attending clinics, and also
for treatment for spinal trouble, her brother
being one OF tie lesident doctors of the
hospital.
"During severe spell of cold weather."
she said, three OF the patients brought to
ton A rmy in unifOrm-twO women and q
man. All three had collapsed from weak
ness and exposure while out in the bitter
cold performing the work imposed by
their superiOrs.
] beiieve they were begging, or at least
one was. That is. as l understood it,
each was furnished with a list of names
and addresses of people from whom SUBJ
scriptions were to be solicited, each list
hardest sort. 1t was said that II they
did not do satisfactory days work they
got only bread and water for supper.
The man was found 10 be dangerously
i'll OF pneumonia. The house doctor said
one Of the chief causes OF his illness was
insufficient clothing. The man had on
only thin cotton shirt of the fiimsiest
material underneath his Salvation Army
jersey. The doctor said that to go out
with such clothing in such weather was
simply suicidal, and that the people who
imposed such tasks ought to be in Jail.
I'm fact all the attendants In the ward
were indignant. and ii was almost the sole
subject OF our conversation at meals. The
man said that these were all the clothes
he had, and he had no means of getting
more. They had trifle allowance. be.
lieve he said. OF three or four shillings a
week. and they had to account literally for
every half penny OF 1t. II they spent
what was considered an unuecessa ry penny,
1t was deducted from the next weeks al.
lowance.
81 don't know so much about the women
patients, but we understood they were
also very low. They, too, had the scantiest
clothing. 1t is rule in Guys as in Other
hospitals. that patients who can afford to
pay for treatment ought to do so. After
while in this case the hospital authorities
sent a bilIto General Booth for the treatment
Of these three patients. The general ans
wercd, declining to pay; he said neither he
nor the army could be held responsible for
the medical bills of its members.
'He also said, and this was the outra geous
part OF It. that when soldier ceased 70
work. he ceased TO belong to the army.
The hospital people wrote again. and In
sisted that as these people became IN Wfile
performing unreasonable duties Imposed by
the army. the army ought 70 pay the bills"

1el ON. JOHN GOODE, one of the
counsel for the defense In the
Milliken case, would have been
in Congress today, but for the poor man
ner in which his campaign was managed
during the last Congressional election"
remarked a prominent Southern politician
at the National last night.
Mr.. Goode is from the Sixth Virginia dis
trict and his name was frequently men
toned as the successor OF Representative
Paul ElInunds. He was willing TO accept
the nomination. and, in fact, entered the
field as candidate against Mr.. Peter j.
Otey. who was elected, and whose seat
Col. j. Hampton Hoge is now contesting
Mr.. Goode had a strong following in the
district. and, think, would have had no
difficulty in winning out had he remained
In the field, but short time before the
nomination was made, to the surprise
OF many, he withdrew from the contest
II was said at the time that he thought
he had no show against Otey and did not
care to suffer a defeat. Notwithstanding
his withdrawal a number of supporters
worked for him, but, of course, under a
great disadvantage.
.'The nominating convention met in Ro-
anOke. and when it assembled n strong
opposition to Otey developed. The Goode
men tried to effect a stampede to him, but
1t was too late. His withdrawal had done
the business. and Otey was nominated. The
result was by no means satisfactory to a
large number of the delegates. and they
made no concealment of the fact that they
would have supported Goode had they
thought he. would have accepted. Another
election is soon TO occur down there, and
Mr.. Goode may have better luck next
time"
