SECRETARY DAY
Refuses to Confirm the Story of His In
tended Resignation.
calls hin

WASHINGTON, d. c., August o.
The published report of the inten-
ton OF Secretary Day to resign the
office of Secretary of State upon the
termination Of the present war is
based upon statements that were
made at the time he assumed office
to the effect that he would consent
to hold it but short time. No Off
cial utterance as to the Secretary's
purpose is now obtainable, and Secre-
tary Day himself declines to make
any statement on the subject, so it
cannot be ascertained positively
whether or not the period of time
which be had in mind as the length
of his service when he assumed office
has about expired.

BUT One KNOWN CASE.
Of Typhoid fever at the Hospit-
al for the insane.
The General Health of the inmates and
Employees rs Coed as mt any
Season OF the year.

1t has been reported that there are
a large number of cases of fever at the
Hospital.
Investigation proves that such is
not the case.
There is but one case of typhoid fe-
yer in the institution at this time,
and aside from few cases of summer
complaint and malaria fever, the gem
eral health Of the patients and en-
ployes is as good as at any time OF the
year.
DIR. Stathers and his efficient corps
of assistant physicians are taking
every precaution against such epidem-
les as are liable TO break forth at this
season, and so far have been success
full in keeping the health of the in
stitution up to its usual standard.
We make this statement in Justice
to DR.. Stathers and those who have
the care and responsibility of the
welfare OF the inmates of the institn
tion.
There is no doubt the report was
circulated by some INSCRIPTIONS per-
son with view to injuring those who
have charge of the Institutions man.

AT CAMP ATKINSON.
News Notes of the Second West
Virginia Regiment
Paymaster Expected tn arrived to-day
-Canteens have come.

Captain j. NJ. Burns the regular ar
my officer who had charge of the mus
fering of the Second West Virginia
and who has been stationed here ever
since, has completed his first official
reports in regard to the regiment, and
has mailed them to the war depart
ment There are two reports, the
first having been made some time ago,
and the second after the regimental
inspection conducted last Saturday.
Both of them are complimentary to
the efficiency of the officers and the
good conduct and soldierly bearing of
the men. So pleased, in fact, is the
captain with the regiment that he re-
commanded it to the war department
for active service if the department
can possibly find some duty for it.
The event Of chief interest to the
men that occurred at Camp Atkinson
yesterday was the arrival of the can
teens; but this would have been a
mere trife compared to an event that
is expected to occur today-the arrival
from Washington Of :. Major Baird, a
paymaster, with money to pay off the
regiment. Mayor Baird was expected
to arrive on the early train this morn
ing.
The canteens-which are merely
water canteens-were the last of the
various articles of equipments to
come They will probably be distrib-
uted today

Madrid for signature by the
Spanish government.
Porto Rico and one of the
Ladrone Islands must be ced-

ing the Regiment.
The Second regiment was paid
off yesterday Surrounded by a de.
tail of eighteen men, the pavmaster
Major Baird, dealt yesterday TO pri-
Yates and officers sum amounting
to about $4,000. The pay rolls had
already been made out, and all that
was required beyond few brief
formalities,, was for the men to swim
from their quarters to the Y. NJ. G..
A. tent, where the paymaster's head
quarters were located, and receive
the money due them.
Both men and officers received pay
for the month of July and for the
time-amounting to about a week
that they served in June,
The officers also received pay from
the State yesterday TO reimburse
them for OUTLAWS made to get their
companies together and bring them
here. The State will in turn be re-
imbursed by the government for
their expenditure.
Some idea as to what it costs to
feed an army may be afforded by a
statement of what it has cost to
feed the Second regiment since it
was modified here. The provisions
consumed by the regiment in that
time-about six weeks-cost So ,494.
In addition to this, about 200
have been expended for transporta-
ton, forage and other quartermas-
ter's supplies, exclusive of clothing.
Beyond the paying off of the regi-
ment, yesterday was an uneventful
day at the camp. The rain neeessi-
tated the suspension of all drills and
exercises, and all that was left for
the men to do was to lie in their
tents and pet their money, in antiei-
patton of it's speedy departure from
them

CHIcKAMAUGA, Chattanooga Ma
tional Military Park, Ca, Aug. o.
Aside from some important plans
which are being formulated at Camp
Thomas with reference to the health
and comfort of the troops, this
was day of quiet and rest.
The signal corps, under command
of Major Squire, has been delayed two
or three days, responding to an order
to proceed to Newport News, but will
depart at O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing.
The improvement of the sanitary
condition of the reglmental camps is
the absorbing matter at the park
now. Definite plans will have been
formulated within a day or two, af-
ter which time the management of
the camp will be under new and very
rigid regulations as regards the dis
position Of garbage and refuse matter,
and the preparation and serving of
food. All drinking water will be
boiled, and this regulation is one
which will not in the future be deviat-
ed from. Another condition which
it is hoped to bring about as early as
possible is that Of having the tents
of all the men provided with board
floors.
With the still further purpose Of
adding to the health conditions, prac-
tice marches are being arranged for
On Thursday of this week the en-
gineer officers of all the divisions will
go out to locate the most practical
routes for these marches, and the re-
giments will be sent out later by brig
AIDES in heavy marching order for a
four days absence from the park.
The march will cover about sixty
miles going, and the men will occupy
shelter tents at night.
Numerous furloughs are being
granted convalescents, in accordance
with the recent order to allow pa
tients recovering from serious illness

TWO PRESIDENTS.

CHANGING now at the administration
Of Mr.. Cleveland, we see the palsied
hand of greed shaping the policy and
marring the destiny of a great nation;
we see golden gods, bonded affairs, syn
dictate priests and interest bearing
gospels; we see the dollar made the
master and the man made the slave;
we see toll disheartened and humanity
weary; we see hypocrisy enthroned
and false pretenses sanctified we see
patriotism sold and find honor on the
market; we see the people betrayed
and Democracy crippled, and finally
we see it all end amid the contempt Of
the honest and the curses of the poor.
But when we turn to Jefferson we
breathe q different atmosphere, we
stand beneath a different sky and gaze
on a different sun. Here are the affairs
of liberty. equality and justice, from
which radiate those forces that encour

that ennoble a people and that build a

AN ORPHAN BOY.

The following interesting incident
has been communicated by DR.. Ray.
holds, of Van, illustrating, as DR.. Ray
nolds remarks, chow the world is able
to find it's way and effect it's blessed
work without much human help:
One of the first boys we received on
the orphan list was from a village FIVE
miles north of US. In my first con.
v~ersation with him / was very much
surprised to find q considerable ac-
quaintance with the Bible and the
truth it contains, and 1 asked him
where he learned it ali. He replied
that his father had taught him, and it
turned out that his father had pur.
chased a Bibleo our book sellers some
years ago, and had read it faithfully,
and~had tried to regulate his life &C.
cording to it's precepts. He had often
read it to his boy, and taught him to
read it for himself, and the boys &C.
count of himself gave me some hope
that he himself had begun to love the
Saviour, and his conduct in the school
gives increased reoson to hope that this
is the case The father was one of the
many who stood firm in the hour Of
sternest trial, and preferred to give up
their lives rather than deny their faith.
In his case we confidently be lieve that
it was done intelligently, and that he
has won the martyrs crown, on &C.
count Of that Bible introduced into
that village by III colporteurs. ! do
not know that I ever saw him, but am
told by those who are acquainted Ia
the village that he was known as q
"Prote," which shows that he did not
hide his light, but Let it shine, and per.
haps others in the village are now
with him in glory, set free by the same
cruel hands that released him from
sin and imperfection. After the mas
sacre this boy made his way TO the
city, hoping to find a home with an
uncle, but found instead that his uncle
was among the killed here, and his
house destroyed, and the then sur
vivors of the family soon died Of sick
ness. The poor boy, thus left alone
with none to care for him, heard that
we were talking Of taking orphans,
and was among the first received. His
sorrow then was for e young sister
who had remained ia the village. and
of whom he had not heard since leav.
ing. After a month or so he Came
one day bringing this sister, who bad
made her way thither. ~entreatiDg that
/ would receive her also, and so anx-
ious lest she should be refused that the
tears were running down her cheeks.
OF course such q plea could not be dis.
regarded, and they were soon made
] happy by her reception.
