SOLDIER BOY NOTES.
Brief Items of Interest About
Men in Various Regiments.

Several of the Sick are Known Here.
VIM. st. Clair has Been Expected
Home for Some Days but has not Ar
rived Yet-He May not Have Started.
Together With Number of Others he
Has the Feyer-Jack Arnold Well.
Pratt is Dram Major in the Second
Regiment.
Student Pratt of the University
who has joined the second regiment
has been selected as drum major for
the organization and by those who
have seen him he is said to be the
hottest thing that ever happened in
all that section OF the country.
***
Camp life has not agreed very
well with the men who went from
here to join the first regiment. Sew
eral of them are sick and two of
them are reported as seriously ILL
These are William E. ST. Clair and
Mansfield Nicely Another young
man who is in the same list and
who is known to many people here is
j. B. Scott, of Lewisburg, who was a
student here
All of these men have fever of one
kind or another and their condition
is due to the miserable sanitation of
the camp in which they were placed
and to the poor attention which
they have received since they were
there.
St. Clair has been expected home
for several days and will no doubt
be at home within a few hours. He
wrote that he was ready to start
and that he might get here before
the letter reached his family. How
ever the announcement has been
here for two or three days and
he has not shown up yet. Missing
connections is probably the cause of
delay. Nothing further has been
heard from him.
Every one hopes that he will soon
recover from his illness and that
there is nothing serious the matter
with him.
~
Captain Jack Arnold of the second
regiment who was very i'll at Charles
ton at one time and who it was
thought would not be able to go
with the regiment to Middletown
recovered far enough to accompany
them and he is filling his position
still.

THE BANDS KITTEN.
The Travels of the Pet "COuntess," )"
of the First Delaware
Regiment.

Regiment.
The First Regimental Band is expected
to attend the Peace Jubilee, in company
with the third battalion, now stationed
at Camp Meade, MiddIetown, Pa.
This band, while in camp, had qrite a
curiosity, in the form of a kitten, which
was presented to Principal Musician
Martin H. MedhoIdt, i'll camps Middle
town, Del.
The kitten, when introduced into camp
life, was gu. .te small and consequently,
had no recollection of civi! life, such as
is the life of any ordinary cat, but knew
no home but the tent of her master, and
she would never be found in any place
but in the immediate vicinity OF her
home.
When the regiment left Middletown,
Del, the kitten, which had been
christened "Countess De Caciack,' was
carried in a trombone case.
During the march it made no objec-
ton whatever to the method of travel
ing, and seemed to enjoy the ride in the
train, as she sat in the window evident
ly admiring the beautiful scenery.
Upon arriving at MiddIetown, Pa, the
kitten was again placed i'll a trombrone
case ana was not given liberty until the
canpground was reached, wfe1e she
madeherself at home and silently y viewed
her surroundings.
The Countess experienced no new ex-
citement, with the exception Of killing
few field mice, which were easily cap
tured.
The regiment changed their position
three times after arriving at Camp
Meade. Each time the kitten expert
enced a new mode Of transportation; first
in cornet CASE, second upon one of
Uncle Sans wagons, and third inside Of
cook stove.
Upon such occasions the Countess al
ways seemed i'll at ease. She probably
thought that she would be left behind.
But no, the members of the band would
rat her leave their bass drum.
The trip to Wilmington was much the
same as the one from Middletown, Del,
to Camp Meade, with the exception
that the kitten divided her time in sleep
ing and viewing the scenery.
N,e people Mno watched the boys as
they marched up Market street little
that there was such an animal
and curiosity IN the procession.
Countess is now enjoying "All the
Comforts of Home" quite different
from camp life.

HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's, Evil' with blood poi
>s6ning and it is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
Of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
a few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King OF
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, ETC., by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such
method of cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute Of the
sovereigns Of England and
France, but history does not san
''tion this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac'
tices of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-"Le rol te
touche, Dieu te guerisse.
In this. enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none of,the Kings III our
circle Of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru.
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of 'tMarvelo +" There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula--and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
Gus preparation can only be OBJ
tained of Dr.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla. a

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure Deafness,
and that is ty constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have q rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-,
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken ont
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but al
inhamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollar:

tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hail.

The Fraud of The Century.

A third of a century after the
close of the great civil war, we
find the pension list increasing at
the rate of more than $4,000 new
names annually, overcoming the
number dropped on account OF
death, and from other causes, by
$4,000. The actual number of
new names according to the report
of the Secretary of the Interior,
which have been added during the
year is 64,351. 1t has taken these
persons thirty-three years to get
their names on the list and their
hands into the public money. This
"pension steal" as it is popularity
termed, is probably the greatest
fraud ever attempted upon a ma
ton by corrupt politicians. Thou
sands of these names are added by
Congress at every session, after
having been rejected by the pen
sion examiners for sufficient reA-
sons. More than thirty years al
ter the war ended the taxpayers
of this country are paying pen
sions to a round million Of people,
based on injuries received in the
service of their country, Rome
in the period of unbridIed license
that preceded her downfall, never
witnessed such startling piece o:
corruption as is now embodied IL
the pension administration Of Thu
country. And Congress is respon
sibIe for this wholesale robbery O
the taxpayers, That body couil
remedy the evil and make the pen
sion list a roll of honor, but in
stead, it takes an active part in to
preparation of the outrage, an'
will not consent to any purgatlo
of even we'll known frauds. Ever
person who reads the Compression
al Record knows this is true. Eve
ry demagogue in that body ian
/ that means very considerable ms
iority) has a little scheme of HI
5 own to push through, and there
fore will assist all other demogt

; and so it goes. 1t is disgrace t
