NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Secretary AL
ger this morning expressed himself as
we'll pleased with the presidents selec-
tiun of members of a commission to
investigate the conduct Of the commits
sary, quartermaster and medical de-
partments of the war. On the subject
cf sick soldiers, Gen. Alger said:
THE whole trouble has been in vol
unteer troops not knowing how to care
for themselves and carelessness in
warding off disease. The regular troops
have not been troubled as the volun-
teens have. They have had yellow
fever and fevers from exposure in the
trenches before Santiago, but their gen.
eraI health has been good and the pro-
portion of sick and the deaths from
sickness are very small.
The most stringent orders have been
issued in regard to keeping the camps
clean. After my tour of inspection 1
will so over the whole situation care
fully and it is possible that new set
OF regulations that will be better may
be issued.
The day before left Washington"
said Gen. Alger, Il called Surgeon
General Sternberg into my office and
told him I wanted him to build winter
hospitals for 5000 men. They will be
located at points where they can be
reached by transports, although just
where is not yet determined One of
the hospitals, however, will be at Ha-
vana. 1t viii be built just as soon as

Nothing In the history Of Columbus Is
more remarkable than the obscurity
into which he fell during the last two
years of his life. While he was writ
ing the pitiful letters from Valladolid,
there was in the same city Pietro An
ghiero, better known as Peter Martyr,
the historian and gossip, who was to
the Spain of his day what Pepys was
to the London of his own time. There Is
reason to believe that Peter Martyr
was at Valladolid during the whole
time of Columbus stay; he was cer-
tainly there when Columbus died, and
yet, only q day or two after the death
OF the admiral, Peter Martyr wrote five
long letters to friends giving gossipy
accounts of sayings and doings in the
town end vicinity and does not make
the slightest allusion to the departure
of the greatest man Of the age. The

Can You Sleepi

Homely language, like a homely girl,
may be SO illuminated by direct intelli-
gence as to become positively fascinat-
ing. When we say, 1--WE had a good

mean IA lot. Many can't sleep-don't
even know what a good nap is These
weary ones toss, turn and agonize, wear
out their brains and bodies,-a useless
waste of energy and life. Pabst Malt
Extract, the "Best" Tonic, will bring
sleep to you-you will nestle to slumber
like a tired child. Take a glass just be-
lore going to bed, and in ten minutes
you will go drowsily to Sunderland.
After a week or SO sleep will come nat
urally and you won't need the Tonic.
Health, strength and mental calmne7s
come also to help the weak, the weary
and the h~eavy-laden, for PABST MALT

DRAINING CANADIAN LAND.
Seven thousand Acres OF the Tantarmar
Marsh Now Being Reclaimed.

Seven Thousand Acres Of the Tantarmar
Marsh Now Being Reclaimed.
An interesting scheme which is now
being carried out is the retaining of
1000 acres Of the 1antarmar marsh.
The land now lies under water near the
boundary between Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick, and IL is the intention
to expend Si0O. 900 on it. There is an
immense stretch Of bog and swamp land
on the isthmus connecting the two prov
inces which has hitherto been of 10 use
TO anybody. and the idea occurred to q
number of capitalists to put the land to
some account 1t was found hat it
would be necessary to dig a canal six
miles long up the valley Of the Missa-
quas river, with several lateral canals.
A company was formed, and already
two miles CT the canal have been COM
pleted.
This is being done to drain the fresh
water off aud let the salt water reach
the land, as all the valuable marshes vi
the bay of fundy are made up of tidal
deposits from the sea. Ultimately it is
expected the value of the reclaimed land
will reach as high as 5000 an acre.
Large portions Of tho great Tantarmar
marsh have been cropped for more than
100 years without being fertilized,
which gives an idea of the richness of
the land. The canal will be 10 feet deep
and 80 feet wide at the lower end, with
q grade Of two feet to the mile.

LOOKING FOR. THEIR MEN.

Police" Duty-Last Night.

Persons who found time to walk around
in the down town district late last night
were treated to a novel sight. number
of men have left the camp Of the Second
Tennessee Regiment OF Volunteers at
Camp Algsr without leave and the col
onel commanding decided to send a
company into the city to round up the
absentees and bring them back to camp.
Capt Hutcheson started out yesterday
evening with detail Of about fifty men,
armed and equipped, who made it their
business to visit all places where it was
likely the soldiers would congregate.
Lieut.. Amiss. of the police department,
allowed the military police to use one
of the rooms on the second floor of the
First Precinct station in which to keep
their prisoners until they could be taken
to camp.
Every saloon and lodging house on
Pennsylvania Avenue was visited several
times and the houses below the Avenue
were constantly watched. -.
At daylight this morning about fifty
guilty looking volunteers were marched
from the police station to the train and
taken to Camp Alger. where they will be
confined in the guardhouse until their
cases are tried by court-martial.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

at the Colimhis Theaier before an au-
dience that was nothing less than re-
markable when 1t is consldered that only

to judge the play. In its Interpretation
Eleanora Browning and Edward Mack

Blended vaudeville and operetta is q

arrangement, of the bill it is possible for

gins promptly at o'clock. while before
and after 1t select specialties make bill
that is alone worth the entire price of ad-
mission. Among the favorites this week
are the Whiting Sisters whose perform
ance on the cornet equals that of the best
male soloists. and Clivette. whose unique
juggling and droll shadowgraphs fill an
act that is prolonged to half an hour by
repeated recalls. From the evident IA
vor with which he is received nightly the
management has decided to extend Gil

will be good news to those who have not
been able to see him this. He is without
doubt one of the cleverest entertainers
ever seen in Washington, and either por-
tion of his act would be enough to please

men, assisting during this period of the work.
Gen. Shafter, in his telegram to the War De-

he could not have effected the landing without
its aid in ten days, il at all. Such disembarka-

the Doctrine of Pessimism.
Worcester, Mass, July H-In his ad-
dress on "Americanism and American
Honor" before the Clark University Sum-
mer School. yesterday. Senator Hoar ad-
ministered stinging rebuke to Prof.
Norton for the latter'sdisparaging re-
marks about Americanism
Mr.. Hoar spoke about the reconciliation
brought about by the war OF the North
and the South, and the sympathy for the
United States from England. and ex-
pressed qualification at rne possibility of
closer bonds of union with the mother
country. He said:
"In strong contrast with these tokens
of respect are a few discordant and jar
ring notes which are heard at home. l see
that Prof. Norton, of Harvard, is quoted
as telling the youth of the university that
II is characteristic of the American people
to be trifing; that they have acquired a
varnish of civilized hfe, but their natures
have not been refined.
Poor Prof. Norton. coIor-blind and mu-
sic-deaf! AT this day, when the North
and South are coming together. when
Mother England is learning to Know her
daughter and to love her again, he says
that it is characteristic of the American
people to be trifing and that he feels.
with Horace Walpole. that he should be
proud of his country If it were not for
his countrymen.
Heaven knows that 7 do not say this
from any desire TO infiict pain, but II is
due TO the youth of the country, IT is due
TO Harvard, that somebody shall say
this. The feeling of dislike and contempt
for US in England. which the utterances
of Prof. Norton and men like him have
done SO much TO foster, is giving way to
better knowledge. / do not believe it
ca n be revived again by such utterances
as these.
THE best instructor which the youth
of country like ours can have is its
own history. and the best instruction is
a good hope. II any man attempts TO
tarnish or destroy either. If 1t be due
to ignorance 1t Is pitiable; IL 1t be due TO
arrogance or conceit. 1t is criminal.
''If these utterances came from an en-
thusiasm for a loftier ideal, from de-
sire to raise the country to n nobler OF
loftier plane, we might forgive them. But
the men who utter them have neither en-
thusiasm nor ideals. 1t is the doctrine
of arrogance, of contempt, of pessimism,
of bitterness, of despair"
