ade. The Brigade is composed of the First Arkansas, the Second Kentucky and the Ninth New York Regiments.
 It is generally believed here that we are not destined to remain here very long. Steps are beng taken right away to equip us, while many brigades that have been here several weeks are no better off than when they first came.
 Our Arkaneas regiment is having to defend itself against the jeers Of regiments from Northern States. In the depot at Chattanooga a New York regiment was waiting along with us to be carried out to the park. Some members from both regiments met and when our boys said they were from Arkansas the New Workers sneered at them. One of the New Workers is in the hos pital for repairs and another is nursing himself and warning his comrades to beware of "those Ark ansas fellers."
 Our regiment band is practicing daily. It plays several pieces very we'll. Yankee Doodle'' is played frequently and most everybody is familiar with it. "Dixie" is played just as often and it's first strains bring out rOusing cheer through out the camp. Southern blood runs in every vein and our boys will march to Dixie with as much ea- gerness and enthusiasm as did our fathers in the eos. Arkansas will maintain the reputation of South ern soldiers won during the Civil War. We will wear the blue and march to the strains of Dixie and wipe a Spanish army off the face of the earth. All of us are anxious to be sent somewhere where we can scent the smell Of powder and make q record for ourselves and our State.

 Pardon me for not writing soon CT, for it is almost impossible to write to anyone while in camp. I re- ceived your box with contents all o. K. and allow me to tender my thanks for the same. I had more friends when l had that box than I ever had in my life.
 We arrived here all right, after being on the road As hours, with nothing to eat but hard tack and corned beef.
 There are 50,000 men in camp here, scattered ele1 miles. It looks like they are enough to lick Spain, with out a second call. Will Hart, Chas. Vance and Robert Thompson are all with me in my tent; my tent it's as much theirs as mine. The first day we came here IS men died, one was shot for poisoning the spring, and one was killed accidently.

CAMP THOMAS, CHICKAMAUGA, GA,
 May 31, 1898.

 DEAR MR. ADAMs:-
 We Arkansas boys are now pretty we'll swallowed up In the vast army of volunteers stationed here at Camp Thomas, and we are no longer lions of the hour as at Little Rock. The smiles, flowers, and baskets of good things enjoyed at Camp Dodge have been supplanted by regular soldiers food and rou- tine of soldiers life. We enjoyed a brief notorietY while en route here from Little Rock. School girls and larger girls met us all along the road with boquets. The journey was a gay one. Our bashfui boys forgot their timldlry and coats and caps were soon shorn of buttons and adornments. Affeetionate notes written on "hard tack" were scattered along the line and a num- Der of the boys have received letters as consequence. Long delays at Chattanooga and at the entrance to the camp were very tiring, but all cheerfully undertook the two-mile march to our camping place.
 Our first impression of the park was something of disappointment. Our minds had been crowded with views of oceans of white tents and .1a ovnaotad f.1 600 ocroS t,nnu aaraS of uniformed men marching in line. Artillery, cavalry and wagon trains were also expected to be part of the panorama. The depots where freight was being unloaded presen- ted an active scene. After leaving them we marched down a dusty road into the woods. We encoun- tered several struggling squads of volunteers and saw one or two companies of awkward soldiers drilling. Otherwise we had the trees we pitched our tents, and, af- ter a late supper, spent our first night on the famous battlefield of Chickamau9a The place is very pretty and when lights are out at night and the moon-beams steal through the branches of the trees and fall upon the white canvass tents the picture is very enchanting. Our greatest wonder is that between forty-five and fifty regiments are To- cated out here in the woods and each Is apparently isolated from the balance of the world. Men get lost every day and some have been lost for as many as three days. Our pickets are constantly accosted by soldiers seeking their regiments.
 We are seeing regular army life now and good many who were in a hurry to get away from Camp Dodge are wishing themselves back. Each day we get in better shape and the army officers are exerting them selves to make all the troops com fortable. At first we were very much bothered by scarcity of wa ter, having only a few distant springs to draw from. Water as then the most valuable article in camp and was used almost exclus- ively for cooking and drinking. A system of waterworks is being placed down ana now water is abundant. It is said we are again to enjoy the luxury of bath house.
 Order and cleanliness are given first place in army life. Hardly are tents pitched betore all hands are put to work scraping bare the regi- ment quarters and ditching tents and streets.

SLEUfH WINS THE WIDOW
He Is Chosen Out of Sixteen Hun
dred Applicants.
She Advertiscs in Cleveland THAT
She Has ii Million and n Half
aud Wants TO Marry.

Cleveland, Ohio. Jan. 16.-Jacob
Nintz, a detective. advertised in pa
per few days ago that a New York
widow with $1,500,000 wanted hus-
band. All applications for the widows S
hand were to be made to Mintz. The
result was that Mintz received sixteen
hundred applications in two days, and
lis offices were swarming with callers.
He announced that the widow would
arrive from New York on Friday.
Sure enough, on Friday a party
composed of the widow, her French
waiting maid, and three other women
who acted as an escort to the widow
arrived here and registered at the Still
man Hotel. The widow gave her name
as Laura c. Henry, New York city.
A suite of six rooms had been placed
in readiness for the party, and the
New Workers retired to their apart
ments 10 reappear soon afterward for
luncheon.
Whether by accident or design, the
French waiting maid appeared on the
staircase first. In an instant a dozen
men sprang forward, each endeaYoring
to get in the first word, all thinking the
maid was the widow. The volley of
French that struck their ears. howev-
er, sta Sgered them, and all fell back TO
q more respectful distance
The widow. however. appeared next
en- the arm of A1intZ. The other mem
bers of the party followed, and took
their places near the widow in the din
ing room. The widow gave it out that
she had rejected all applicants.
The climax to the affair came yes
terday, when Detective Mintz took out
a license to marry Laura Caroline
Henry. They left on the 1:30 o'clock
Erie train for New York. The widow
refused to give her New York address,
and the stir which the affair has Gre
ated is looked upon as Mintz's efforts to
gain advertising.

ven answered that it was $3.50. 600.
Chairman Pritchard: In view OF the
fact that internal revenue collectors
are held responsible under bond for the
actions of their deputies, do you not
think it would be better 10 let the col
lectors appoint their own deputies?
Mr.. Serven replied that while he be-
leved that the collectors could get as
efficient deputies. that from the in
formation be had been able TO obtain
he did not think the collectors would
be as particular in the selection of their
deputies as was the commission, for
the reason that the collectors were
prone to regard the politics rather than
the actual qualifications of the deputy.
The hearing will be resumed ON Mon

HIS APPEAL NOT In VAIN
DR.. Conaty Speaks to a Large Con-
gregation at st. Peters.
Generous Responses to Aid the
Worthy Poor of the Parish Re-
suit From His Address.

Right Rev. Mgr. Conaty delivered an
address last evening before the con-
ference of the Society OF st. Vincent
de Paul of st. Peters Catholic Church.
1t was an appeal TO the members of
the society, and the congregation of
st. Peters Church for aid for the
worthy poor of the Parish, and was
generously responded to by the inn
mense audience which crowded the au-
ditorium of the church to the very
doors.
Dr. Conaty gave brief history of
the establishment of the Catholic
church. together with most interest
ing account of the conditions which
prevailed when it was instituted. Its
establishment, he said was the dawn
of freedom for humanity not alone of
men, but of women. Before the dawn
of Christianity women were but mere
tools, the playthings of men; they had
no rights or privileges except those
permitted them by their husbands
Even in imperial Rome and cultured
Athens, with the exception of the small
privileged class, the nobility, the men
We're slaves. In those days, he said, IL
was beneath the dignity of q freeman
to work; he had his slaves to labor
for him. But there came day when
Il voice was hGa1d upon the nlilS oI
Judea which had never been heard be-
fore; it was the voice Of angels telling
of the light which was beginning to
dawn upon humanity.
He then spoke of the birth of Jesua
Christ. which he said gave dignity
to maternity and TO childhood which
they never had before. DR.. Conaty
then spoke of the everlasting honor
and dignity conferred upon woman by
the choice of Mary, an humble maiden,
as the mother of Jesus Christ.
In conclusion, DR.. Conaty spoke of
the great works of charity which the
Catholic church has done, and still con-
tinues to do, wherever an opportunity
is presented. In this connection he re-
ferred to the many and great sacrliices
made by the Sisters of Charity not
