DON'T WORRY ALGER.
Charges Against Him, He Says, Are
the Fruit of Sensation.

Detroit, Mich, Sept 10.-Secretary
AIger arrived at the Michigan Central
station from the east at 9:45 today.
Accompanying him were Mrs. Alger
and their son, Captain Fred Alger, who
is gradually recovering from fever con-
tracted in Cuba
After arriving home General Alger
said he expected to remain until a
week tomorrow. Being asked to make
a statement for publication relative to
the charges against his administration
of the war department, the secretary
replied:
Now. what do you want me to do?
Get down in the sewer with these SEN
sational people? They are not worry
ing me. There is nothing to the
charges excepting somebody's desire to
make political capital.
1.-THE work the department has had
to do in so short a time has been a
very great task. The commissary and
quartermaster' departments have had
the distribution of more than 900 tons
of provisions-rations and forage
daily, a part of which has involved
TRANSPORTATION more than half around
the world. 1t is not surprising that
some few slips have been made. 1 have
asked the president TO appoint the
strongest commission possible to con-
duct an investigation into the conduct
of the war. It will be made up of some
of the ablest army officers and its work
will be of the greatest Importance as
applied to the past and as affecting the
future. Its greatest value will be in
perfecting the entire organization of
the army and applying in this provis-
ion the lessons of the past.

ment with Colonel Miley of his staff
and Adjutant General Corbin. The gen.
eral went over the Santiago campaign

have it ready for delivery to the sec

would then leave to take command at

strongly in favor of a rigid investiga-

COMPLEXION AND DIETS.

Hot milk is the newest panacea for
all complexion ills. If the face be
wrinkled, sallow, freckled or otherwise
afflicted, hot milk, says the enthusiast
over this new remedy, will produce a
cure. Converts declare that the face,
after being washed with hot milk at
night, feels wonderfully refreshed,
While the skin soon becomes very white
and soft. They also claim thai a gen.
erous quantity OF milk poured into the
bath is positively magical in removing
fatigue.
Fruits being refreshing, nourishing,
appetizing and purifying. have a great
effect on the complexion Grapes and
apples are very nutritious; grapes gem
orally agree with the most delicate peo-
pie, as they are very easily digeSted.
Black grapes are fattening. Apples are
more easily digested when baked and
eaten with cream, and many can par
take of them in this way who could
not eat them raw
Oranges, lemons and lines affect
most directly the complexion, and are
especially good If taken before break

All fruit with firm flesh, such as
thoroughly masticated, otherwise they
will cause indigestion. The skin of
raw fruit should never be eaten, and
small fruits should have all impurities
removed by wiping or washing Acid
fruit should not be eaten with farf-
naceous food unless the digestion is
very good.
The most recent and popular fad in
the way of diet is the ''non-breakfast

a melancholy fascination about them

county convention, for nominating
Caches So delegates to the state con-
vention, was called to order by County
Chairman Edwards at 1890 this morn
ing. There was a splendid turnout,
nearly every precinct in the county be-
ing represented.
The opposing forces in the conven-
ton locked horns at the very outset,
DR.. o. G. Ormsby being put forward
for temporary chairman bX the Rob-
erts people, and Hon. I. c. Thoresen
by the ants. Ormsby won by vote
of AZ to II. The election of a temper
airy secretary resulted in another vic
tory for the Roberts men.
Committees were appointed on ere
dentials, permanent organization, and
apportionment of delegates. and then
an adjournment was taken for 30
minutes.
When the convention met again a
fierce fight was brought on by the
Roberts element striving 10 prevent the
recognition of proxies given by the
regular delegates to alternates, in
sisting instead, that the alternates
should be taken in the order named to
fill vacancies on any delegation. A hot
discussion followed and ended in the
chair ruling in favor of giving written
proxies precedence. This was the first
defeat of the Roberts men.
The permanent organization was eff
fected by retaining the temporary
chairman and secretary. and adding
the names Of Joseph Monsoon and Mrs.
Sarah Farr as vice chairmen, Bishop
William Hyde as chaplain and Martin
WoOif as sergeant-at-arms.
The appointment of delegates gave
Dne 10 each precinct in the county,
nd "a
the five cities of the county, Logan
receiving seven and the others three
each.

vention to send none but qualified,
