Camp George G. Meade. Nov. g.
Little Of importance took place In the
Thirteenth yesterday. At 9 o'clock q.

inspection by the company command

creditable appearance. The men looked
their best, and their arms and equip

1nediately after, Surgeon Major Keller
went from street to street and care
fully scrutinized the tents, and cspe-
cially under the hunks After having
made his tour of inspection lie informed
The Tribune correspondent that he was
entirely satisfied with the conditions of
the camp. The men are active ana
healthy, the interior of the tents order
ly and clean in every particular ana
the kitchens models OF tidincss. Both
he and the company commanders were
more than pleased. KS a matter of
fact, owing to the methods used and
to the constant vigilance of those in
authority, the boys have become so

There is no doubt that good effects
follow both directly and Indirectly
from this system of constant espion-
age. The health of the men is the best
PROOF, and though several may report
at the hospital in the morning at sicI,
call, nothing is thought Of this, as the
patients are in most cases SUFFERING
from the lghtest colds, or some such
shght maladies, and can attend to the
regular routine of military duty.
REALTHIEST TROOPS IN THE
STATE.
Only two beds are now occupied in
the regimental hospital, ana even those
cases are not serious. The general
health Of the regiment is now excellent.
The sick men have nearly all returned
and the members of the Thirteenth ara

hardest body of troops at Camp Meade,

in the past few days-that Of Sergeant
chester ID. Smith, of Company Il. who
is suffering from an attack of pnou-

smith was home on furlough, and when
leaving camp he was not in the very
best condition, physically. He returned /

tour of guard and soon afterwards was
taken sick. 1t was then found. on OK
animation, that he had pneumonia. The
case was quickly attended to, and
everything possible is now being done
for the patient.
Major Keller stated this morning that

Miss Stewart graduated from the
