BUNC0ING THE BOYS.

The Porto Ricans have been quick to
catch on to the relic fad of the soldiers,
and not few of the boys will carry
back to the States dozens of articles
which they could buy for half the price
at any store on Fourth street. They
don't seem to realize that half the stuff
in the stores here was brought straight
from America, and is sold with the added
duty and dealers profit. This applies
especially to jewelry and articles of that
class. Watches that look at all odd and
don't happen to have an American
makers stamp on them are being greed
lily snapped up at fancy prices, and many
a girl that was left behind will be made
a present of handkerchief or piece of
jewerly which could have been bought at
home for half the price.
The really cheap things on the island
are confined almost exclusively to native
fruits and tobacco. Bananas, especially,
are ridiculously low. A few days ago
Col. Castleman bought for a peso and a
quarter (about seventy-fve cents) four
immense punches of delicious bananas,
any one bunch of which at home would
have cost at least 81 80. Compare that
with ice at three pesos hundred.
A soldier was attracted by very pretty,
although plain, amber-tipped cigarette
holder. He priced it, expecting it to be
valued at about 81 or 81 so. The soldier
nearly dropped dead when the clerk re-
fused to take less than 81. He wanted
So at first. Even paper is quite high.
Paper, such as is used in newspaper Of
fees for scratch paper, costs centavo a
sheet, no matter how much is bought at
time. Fine writing paper is altogether
out of the question for everybody except
commissioned officers above the rank of
Captain.

and before the end of the week there
were more than 400 patients, and three
hospitals.
Hundreds were arriving at these hos
pitfalls, and in less than week more than
800 wounded men were under cover, but
not one single cot or bed, even for the
extreme cases. Stretched along the
ground, in some cases without a blanket
over them or even under them, great
immense giant tents, all radiating from
one common center, one would wonder
where all the wounded came from. Per-
haps those without priestly practice can
say, oh, there was nothing to do there
for priest!
FINALLY the deportation of the poor
wounded men commenced. l was re-
quested, i'll the presence of Col. Began, a
field officer, and of the Sergeant, who
was acting as orderly to the Colonel, to
look after this end of the transfer of the
wounded. With no wharf and high
breakers, it was difficult task; and not
a single wounded soldier that left that
shore for the States, whether OH a litter
or otherwise, that did not with my own
hands touch and guide, help and assist
by word or by act, until the advent of the
only respectable hospital ship we saw
while there-the United States hospital

THOMAS H. MURRAY
Will Visit Louisville in the In
tereSt of the American
Irish Historical
Society.

Mr.. Thomas Hamilton Murray, of Bos-
ton, Mass, Secretary General of the
American-Irish Historical Society, is
coming to Louisville. Mr.. Murray is a
distinguished Irish American. He has
had large experience as a newspaper
editor and lecturer in the New England
States. He will remain here about a
week. The society of which he is the
secretary has already accomplished a
great work in showing the part the Irish
took in the early settlement of this coun-
try. Among the members are such dis
tinguished Irishmen as James Jeffrey
Roche, editor of the Pilot; Maurice +.
Egan, Francis Higgins, Thomas ]. Gar
gan, Robert Ellis Thompson, Augustus
St. 'Gaudens, Morgan J. O'Brien, Rev.
DIR. Butts and many hundreds of others.
While in Louisville Mr.. Murray will
probably be asked to deliver a lecture
before the Irish American Society. He
will remain in Kentucky about ten days
collecting material and getting members
for the society. Kentucky ought to have
a large membership in this organization.
Its early settlement was made Largely by
Irish or men of Irish descent.
The visit Of Mr.. Murray will be hailed
with pleasure by Irishmen in Louisville
and throughout the State. The exact
date of his coming will be announced
next week. We are snre if he lectures
here lie will draw a large crowd.

from our own homes hundreds of miles,
the unremitting care and attention by
day and by night after the horrors of
Santiago and camp life, was a tonic, a
stimulant which, if administered to us by
our own Government would have been
instrumental in saving the lives of hun
dreds of soldiers, who failed not when
the call to arms was sounded. To the
medical staff of St. Catharine's Hospital
we extend our most sincere thanks, and
can say without reserve that any body of
medical knowledge who can get over
one hundred and fifty fever-ridden SOL
diers on their feet in ten days must nec-
essarily be of plane of ability not to be
met with in many hospitals.

FROM A SOLDIER BOY.
Edward Keenan,, of the Le-
gion, Writes of His Trip
and Experiences.

Edward keenan,, of Company X, First
Kentucky Volunteers, brother of John
Keenan,, of the Gait House, writes to his
sister, Mrs. John Shelley, of $40 Sixth
street. as follows, his letter bearing date
of September / Porto Rico:
1T may be possible that we will get
home in about two months; that is, if they
don't put us on garrison duty, as they are
talking about doing. We are now at
Ponce, Porto Rico, and l tell you we
have had hard time of it. We left New
port News August s, and were on the sea
thirteen days before we landed at Ponce.
When we got here they gave us orders to
go TO Mayaguez and lombard the town.
We had three battleships with us. We
got to Mayaguez the next morning, and
just as soon as the Spaniards saw us they
floated a white flag. All we had to do
then was to get off the ships and hoist
the stars and stripes i'll the town.
"The Spaniards took to the woods, and
we were hard after them in minute
We captured about six hundred of them
After putting guards over them we laid
down to sleep i'll their armory. We got
about 800 guns and fully that many suits
of soldier clothes. They just left every
thing. We hoisted the American flag
in five of the Porto Rico towns, and then
it came our turn to see hard times. We
started in a forty-mile march over the
hills, through rivers and mud up to the
waist. Many nights we had to sleep in
the rain and the mud. We crossed four
rivers by fording, as they don't seem to
know what bridges are out here. The
current in one place was SO swift and the
water was so deep that one could hardly
keep on his feet, one of our men being
drowned. His body was found about ten
miles down stream. We were wet through
and through for five days without any
rest. From the exposure endured on this
trip three of our boys are sick, and we
are expecting them to die at any time.
We lost all our blankets and had to sleep
on the wet grass. But we cleaned out
all the Spaniards, and we are now back
at Ponce. They say that after a six
days rest we will leave on another long
march.
"There are no railroads here, and to add
to the discomforts of marching, the hills
are 400 to 800 feet high. All the boys have
got enough, and we all wish we were
back home. I'think we will get some
bounty money when we are mustered out.
As / write this letter it is 1870 i'll the
shade, and this, though the wind is blow
ing In all the towns we have been in
the children wear no clothes, and to hear
the talk of the natives would set you
crazy. When we ask for water they don't
know what we mean, and we had hard
time finding out how to say water in
their language. They call it anyway
They call bread 'lonk.' Most of them
look as if they did not know what it was
to have 'lonk' in their stomachs or 'ang-
way OH their bodies. We expect to leave
soon for San Juan"

A QUEER
Discovered by n Lineman While Re-
pairing a Leak.

pairing n Leak.
"Who ever heard of a snake not over
three feet in length grounding a tele-
graph wire and rendering it useless for
two days and as many nights?" was
the question asked of a number of rail-
road men by a well-knowE iineman who
has care of the Western Union Tele-
graph company's wires along the line
of one of the greatest trunk systems
in the state of Ohio. 1T was this way:
During the republican national n
vcntion at st. Louis, in 1896, when every
wire in the country was needed and
taxed to its utmost capacity with bull
letins from the convention, that one of
the through wires from ST. Louis to
Cleveland became grounded on my di-
vision, causing me no end of trouble.
and compelling me to go from pole to
pole for two days before locating the
trouble, which, to my astonishment,
was caused by a small snake of greenish
color, and about three feet in length.
One end of the snake was lying across
the wire, while the other end was rest
ing against the lightning rod which
is placed on every fifth pole of a tele-
graph line. The snake when taken off
and examined was found to be nearly
burned in two, caused by the strong
current of the telegraph wire and the
direct ground circuit obtained from the
lightning rod. How the snake came in
this position will always be a mystery,
but no doubt it was thrown there after
being killed by some one walking along
the railway track.

A Cleveland hardware man, prompt
ed by an article recently On the subject
of collecting poor accounts. writes
agreeing that more is to be accom-
plished by a dunning letter couched in
good-natured language than n
breathing threats in harsh words, and
relates the following, says Hardware,
as an illustration:
"It was our custom to have a new
clerk put in his spare time writing let
tiers to slow customers. A clerks mer-
its were measured largely by the result
of this work. Up in Michigan we had a
particularly bad case. 1t was a bill of
S12 against a man named William Rose.
1t had become o~utlawed, and was con-
sidered a dead duck, but every once in
awhile we gave it a whirl. Finally one
day. the last clerk put on. a bright young
fellow, laid the following verses on my
desk and asked permission to mail
them to Rose:
"oh. William Rose. oh. fragrant rose.

Unsettled bills are bad.
They soil our books, they spoil our looks,
And maze the hear T-ow sad.
So William Rose. feel in your clothes,
And find twelve dollars there.

ed to pay the count some time, but

slowed down to a majestic pace and
then the noise arose. Rank upon

yells which came over half a mile
against the wind, and the crew of
the Oregon sem them back with
interest. Then the ships, each white
with men, renewed the greeting, and
each vessel joined in again as the
Oregon came between the flagship
and the Indiana, the latter's band
playing the "Washington Post"
march. Then the exchange of visits
began, and the officers aud men of
