A Trip Down the River,

A very pleasant evening was spent by a

luncheon was served by the young ladies'

well-known local talent, foremost among
whom are Mrs. Thomas P. Stephenson
ard Mrs. Frank Byram, the promoters Of
the affair. in aid of the Pension Office La

doing such splendid work in alleviating the
wants of the tired and hungry soldiers as
they pass through this city on trains bound
for distant points. These boys are sore-
times In pretty bad shape when they ar
rive, and the work of the Pension Office
Ladies' Aid Association, conducted at
Maryland avenue and 11th street. has been
one of noble charity.
No work. however, can be carried on
withou funds, and go the members of The
association have been forced to thankfully
accept the offer made by the two ladies
mentioned above of testimonial or benefit
concert to be given at one of the play
houses. To this end, Mr.. Harrison Ding

the subject. and he very promptly gave the

have managed to SURVIVED thus far
Through the kindly forethought of Major
Parmenter these overcoats were hurriedly
forwarded to Camp Wikoff some time ago,
to be Immediately available as soon as the
boys landed. Then by what right or au-
thority did this inhuman official refuse to
deliver them when the occasion for their

do SO, thereby no doubt laying the founda-
ton for future suffering and possible death
from pneumonia, consumption and kindred
diseases. which the boys. in their depleted

While the relatives and friends of the
members of the 1st District of Columbia
Volunteer Regiment are doing all in their
power to alleviate the srfferings of their
dear ones and make them forget the hard
snlps through Whlcn 1ney nave gone, this
quartermaster captain referred to, and 9TH
ers of just about the same mental caliber,
are obstructing their efforts and doing ali
they can to prevent the carrying out of
these humanitarian plans.
There may be some reason for more or
less of the suffering-less If anything, how
ever-while the regiment was in Cuba, but
there is no earthly reason why such sense

appointed to look after the interests and
welfare of the bows should he tolerat ed

"A subscriber" in inclosing a subscrip-

IN contributing my mite, 1 cannot re-
IRAN from expressing my heartfelt sor-
row at the terrible and apparently unnec-
essary suffering which our heroes of the
late war have been called upon to en-
dure. Historians will chronicle in glowing
terms the grand achievements of our army
ana navy during the war just closed; it
VIII contain an account of the brave, noble
and heroic deeds of our soldiers and sail
ors, and fitting tribute will be paid to the
magma nimous treatment of their van
qulshed enemy-even to the risking of their
lives that they might snatch from deaths
grasp their fallen foes That our captives
have received kind and humane treatment
is proven by the unique communication
addressed to the soldiers of the American
army extending, in behalf of the Spanish
soldiers, their thanks and gratitude to
them therefor.
When the history of the war is written,
now hldious Will appear the treachery and
cruelty Of the Spaniards in comparison
with the chivalrous and humane conduct
or the Americans; and yet it would appear
tnat the glory OF our accomplishments on
lana and oea Is destined TO be sdimmed by
the recording of failures to give our own
helpless soldiers a measure Of the kind
treatment they have accorded their enemies.

OF our sick soldiers existsto- ,d
The passengers and crews on snow bound
trains in the western part of this country
have not hesitated to satisfy the cravings
OF munger by appropriatfng to their use
such food as might be found aboard the

have risked their lives for the honor Of our
common country, in the interest Of human

board transport vessel containing food
which would have nourished and sustained

they mao not the money wherewith to pur-

potent TO demand the surrender of such
merchandise and accept AN accounting
therefor at some time hereafter? If SO,

THE STARS RELIEF FUND.
1t Is Being Used to Alleviate the Sol
dfers' Present Needs.

While there may be a diversity of opinion
over the subject of the lest plans to be
followed in giving the returning heroes Of
the 1st District Regiment a reception
worthy of them. there is only one view
taken of the purpose of The Evening Star
to procure means for the relief of the
needy members of the regiment and those
who may be dependent on them.
The sons of the well-to-do who are in the
ranks are assured of proper treatment
and careful attention when they return
but there are scores who will not have
loved ones able to do this for them but
who will have on the other hand, loved
ores dependent on them. There is no
robler channel offered for the exercise of
charity than that which leads to the relief
of this character of suffering, due solely to
the war for the nations honor and it's flag
and it is to be earnestly hoped that the
citizens of the capital city will continue to
be generous in behalf of such purpose

Speculation tc gts Reorg antzation-The
Crack Reg irnont. May Not BE

FRANKFoRr. Ky, Sept. "a There is
some interesting speculation here con-
corning the reorganization of the
kentucky state guard. All of the
military companies in the state were
mustered out of the service of the
state when war was declared,
and since then only three or four new
companies have been organized to
take the place of these regiments.
Gov. Bradley will not discuss the mat
ter, but it is semiofficially stated
that he will not reinstate the LIST
and Cd regiments, two of the Oldest
and the crack regiments of the state.
The LIST doing garrison duty
in Porto Rico under command of Col.
Castleman, Gov. Bradley's bitter en-
envy. The I'd comprises among others
the Covington and Newport companies
and was recently ordered out of the
service of Uncle Sam. Col Gather
and Gov. Bradley are said to be on not
much better terms than Bradley and
Castlcman.

HOSPITAL REFORM.

observation-disclosures Sent to the
GuardhOuse.

LEXINGTON. Ky, Sept 27.-At the
division hospital nearly every body is
being disciplined. Gen. Sanger, hav-
ing been talked to by the secretary OF
war, is now doing the same thing to
the men under him. Sunday night he
arrived at the division hospital at z
o'clock, the hour at which watches are
changed. He found that day doc
tors had gone off before night doc
tors came, leaving the wards without
a sufficiency of medical help. AS he
could not find the doctors he began
his work with the ward men, clerks
and any body he happened to see.
When he left DIR. Garrett went the
rounds of the wards. He found half a
dozen male nurses asleep, and they
were promptly placed in the guard
house
