Other Innovations of Equal Magnitude Socn to Take Place in the Mont
 uornery- Street Hostelry

Major Hooper, the esthetio manager of the Occidental Hotel, having competed various improvements in the hoStelry over which he presides, has determined to CAD the climax of his houses adorn- ment by capping all the handsome malu servants whom he employs, and thus or fering an additional attraction to the ap- prectative commercial and the casual elobe-trotter who occasionally drifts to our shores in search of adventure The girls themselves don't seem to take klnoly to the innovation. They are all goou Irish lassies from the large, bExom maiden who halls from Kerry to the It. tie girl who speaks with affection or the "auld folks" in Athlone, and they object, with a stubbornness inherited from gen erations of fighting ancestry, to covering their shining locks with Himsy oit ave Frinch monkey business fur tn sake ave sthoyle."
 When the majors order was first made known there was conclaVe held' ana loud and angry were the protests against the new order of things. Some or the more hot-headed ones gave notice on the snot. and those who did not leave vowed thev would not have their independence curtailed in the matter Of dress nor pc placed on the level of common nursery maids. whose best boast Is that they have some time or other peen lhe GUS @Oi have dhressed me own hair fur tn last fifty years" said Mary Ann McGrath, ''an' no major, captin or ginera! can make th' likes ave me put wan ave thim things an me head at this toime ave lol1e. Kate McGinness was even more emphatc: Sure there's more nor wan by ave halr th' age ave tn auld major who has been willin' to take me, hair an all, an OfI lave" And she did.
 But despite the kicks the major was bent on having his way, and consequently every maid who remained in the house appeared yesterday morning in a brand new cap and a white apron. The new arrangement has met with such unlVer- sal satisfaction, and the major Is so pleased with the effect of his enterprise that, 1t is whispered, he contemplates go- ing even further into the new and beau tiful. nd 1t will not be long before other changes are noticed in his establishment.
 What these changes will be no one con nected with the house will say, but IL IS believed that the bell boys will soon be attired in yellow livery, the elevator boys are to have electric wires attached to their spines, and every waiter will appear on the floor of the dining room with a smoothly shaven face and flower in his buttonhole The major himself will re- ceive distinguished guests attired in the uniform of the Loyal Legion. while his son George will stand behind the desk wrapped in a smile and the consciousness of his own virtue

"HURRAH FOR DEWEYw
A Public Meeting to Congratulate the Pacific Squadron's Com
 mander

The commercial people of this city are rejoicing at the victory of the United States navy In the Philippine Islands for more reasons than one. If the spanish feet had been so fortunate as to cripple or defeat the ships under the command of Commodore Dewey there was much fear that San Francisco would be the first place that the squadron of the Dons would head for. With coal in plenty at any number of ports along the coast and much treasure In the Federal and municipal vaults, 1t was believed that the Spanish commander would make for this port as fast as steam and sails could carry him and his ships Even if the guns at the port of San Francisco called halt in their progress, there would still be a rich coastWise shipping for the Spanish to prey upon. All of these matters wor- ried the commercial men not little.
 Tn truth, they were so uneasy that the Chamber of Commerce sent strong pe- tition to the War Department to fit out number of the available steamers on the coast as cruisers to go forth and face the privateers and other hostile ships that might come this way. The recent victory of Commodore Dewey has set all or their fears at rest, and now they propose to show their gladness of heart by having a general public meeting called for o'clock to-day in the Chamber of Com merce, the purpose of which Is to con- graduate CoHinouohe DSncy upoh IlI0 grand success In the Philippine engage ment, which means that the Pacific Ocean is to be free, open and unobstructed to commerce. The call for this meeting was made upon President Hugh Craig by five influential members of the chamber, and the intention is to have all of the large public, mercantile and commercial bodies present also as many prominent citizens and army and navy officers as possible Spirited speeches will be made by the president (dr Craig), Irving M. Scott, Captain Taylor, Mayor Phelan and many others Patriotic resolutions and con gratulations will be framed and forwarded to the War Department. and a general re{oicin9 may be expected

ONE REGIMENTS EXPERIENCE.
Lost Five Hundred Men at Chickamau-
ga--A Terrible Thing that some one
is Responsible for.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19-After three
months absence the Eighth New York
Regiment. the Washington Greys, as
thevwere known in the old days, has
returned home. They started out to
do battle with the Spaniards, 1886
strong. There were 900 of them when
they reached here.
Where are the rest2 In the hopitals
or under the sod. They had not met
the enemy. They had not been able
to distinguish themselves on the
field of battle, but down at Chicka-
manga there are many graves markedly
tiny crosses; in the hospitals there are
feyer-racked members of the Eighth.
Nearly hundred men-privates-
were asked whether or not they
would be willing to re-enlist. Every
one declared that he would not.
The men made serious charges of
incompetency against their superiors.
They brought back as souvenirs SAM
pies of the water from Chickamauga
Creek, in which they had to battle,
and which they had to drink. They
spoke freely Of mismanagement, but
withheld names on the ground that
they were still subject to military dis
cipline. One significant remark was
passed around to the reporters: "Come
around to the armory when we are
mustered out. There will be trouble !"
Father James Dooley, the chaplain
of the regiment, who is credited with
saving many lives by his incessant eff
forts in behalf of the men, was the
only man who would permit his name
to be used. He said:
s'The camp at Chickamauga Park
was perfect hell on earth. War it,
self would have been a paradise COM
pared with the peace of this camp.
| saw many awful sights there men
dying under the trees for want Of a
glass of water. | found there men
who had been sick with typhoid fever
for days and who had not received
medical attendance. No one had even
taken their temperature. 1t was
awful.
"For five hundred men in hospitals
there were only dozen attendants.
The water from the creek was simply
mud, and yet the boys had to battle
in it and drink it. Everything about
the camp was badly managed. AS
for the food, there is only one word
that describes tit was rotten"
