error. The use of symptom drugs is so
universal. and their failure so inevitable,

GEN. BRECKINRIDGE,s PLAN.
He Opposed the Idea of Dividing the
Army.

Army.
Chickamauga-Chattan National Mil
itary Park, Tenn. August Interpretations
to comply with the order issued from
Washington for two divisions to leave
Camp Thomas will be commanded at once.
Gen. Breckenridge, commander at Camp
Thomas. is opposed to the plan of dividing
the army. but it now seems that the decis-
ion Of the War Department Is positive and
Interchangeable.
The plan of Gen. Breckenridge and his
officers was to reduce the size of the army
by sending the brlgades to various places
in the mountains around CHATTANOOGA. and
1t is said that one place had already been
selected before the Washington orders were
issued.
The ID Division, ordered to Knoxville. is
expected to march the distance of I12 miles
The country to be trayersed is especially
adapted for a march. and the trip will
doubtless prove very beneficial to the men.
1t has not yet been decided how the diyis-
ion ordered to Lexington will be sent II
is possible that this division will also
march.
The invitation sent to President McKin-
ley and Secretary Alger to come to Chick
amauga and investigate for themselves the
conditions there prevailing is being thor
oughly pressed. No reply has yet been re-
eeiyed from either. Gov. Holcomb and STAFF
of Nebraska arrived today. They will re-
main several days.

AT VIRGINIA BEACH
Happy Outlook for the Visitors This
Week.
The Sunday Ocean Dip and the Week
-WashinGton Arrivals.
Correspondence of The Evening Star.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, August Z, 1898.
The past week has been a particularly
gay one at this resort, especially at the
Princess Anne Hotel, where the capacity OF
the house has been severely tested for the
past three or four days. The indications
for the present weeks gaiety are just as
bright, and the expectation is that the pres
ent rush will continue all through August
The old-fashioned cake walk and concert
given in the pavilion ball room Friday
night was a great success. The walkers
were assisted in their efforts to entertain
the hotel guests by the justly famous Black
America Quartet, Steamboat Billy 4
clever buck dancer, and Professor James
Harrison, also very clever in his negro
jokes and songs. The walkers were led by
Professor James Grant of Boston, sah!''
In great style The competition was very
sharp, but the prizes were awarded to the
dusky competitors without accident. Near
ly every one at the hotel attended, while the
event brought down many who are sum-
mering here at the various cottages.
Saturday evening is, of course, the big
evening of the week, and the trains brought
down from Norfolk, Richmond, Washing
ton, Baltimore and other Maryland and
Virginia towns even larger burdens of hus-
bands, brothers. sweethearts and beaux
than usual yesterday evening. In response
to many requests Mr.. Orris, the genial resi-
dent manager of the Princess Anne, allow
ed the dancing to continue until long after
the usual hour. Many cottagers dropped in
on the festivities. and the scene presented
in the assembly room and parlofs was a
brilliant one.
And the BAND Played On.
Sunday. usually dull day at the seaside,
was enl.vened by band concerts in the
morning and evening by the LIST Virginia
Regiment Band. the program for the even
Ing musicale being especially elaborate
The evening cor ert again brought out
number of summarizes from the cottages,
and these together with the large number
of guests at the hotel. served again TO make
this picturesque house the center of at
traction.
An excursion al the way from Richmond
raised the number of chance visitors from
Sunday was also notable day on account
of the great number who took advantage of
the opportunity for a ronlp with the waves
Hundreds of heads dotted the surface of
the waves all during the day. while In
the evening ii Is estimated that nearly
1000 enjoyed the sport So great was the
rush, in fact, that the pretty and commo-
dious bath house connected with the hotel
had to be closed half a dozen times. in
order to relieve the congestion of humanity
in and around IT.
1t is expected that another cake walk
VIII be given shortly, while any number of
card parties, driving parties and hunting
and fishing trips are on the cards for this
week. Indeed, tine Is hardly slow enough
to allow one to enjoy all the diversions az
forded here.
