BY THEIR FRIENDS


The reception in Squadron AS ar.hesy in the
evening was spontaneous and informal affair.
The relatives and friends OF the gallant cavalrymen
OF Troop A got together TO give them glorious
welcome and they succeeded. admirably. 1t was
realized that everybody who could would try TO
get into the armory greet the returned troopers
and that It would not be half large enough to hold
them oil, tickets of admission were Issued 10 a
limited number. Early In the evening. however.
the structure was packed 10 its fulles, capacity,
and a crowd twice large that Inside stu be-
seged It's doors. big squad OF police was on hand
TO for the people. and Tn, bluecoats had their
hands full.
The interior Of the arrnory presented an attractive
appearance. The large drillroom was festooned
with fags and bunting. also the big mess
hall upstairs. The tables in the latter room were
loaded down with deicacies such II sup
posed would tempt the appetites OF men who had
been subssting largely bareback and other
things comprising Uncle Sans bill of fare
There little formality about the recep-
tion and this informally appeared be one OF It's
greatest charms 10 the troopers The troop OF cav
alrymen had sooner got into the arnory than
they were marched upstairs and seated at the sup

PHILAD ELPHIA HOSPITALS FOR THE SICK

Governor Daniel II. Hastings OF Pennsylvania
called at the Army Building yesterday. He went TO
Major Appel who is In charge OF the sick and
wounded soldiers. Governor Hastings said that the
hospitels at Philadelphia were ready to take care
OF five hundred sick soldiers and he offered the use
OF them to Major Appel. II Is probable that the
ambulance ship Shnnecock will take at least three
hundred soldiers from Camp Wikon to Philadelphia
In response TO this offer.
The weather at Montauk Point is now becoming
too cool for the sick and convaescent soldiers and
efforts are being made to remove them all to regu-
lar hospitals. Both the Shinnecock and the Relief

The Bond REUNION.

One of the most pleasant events Of
the season was that of the Bond re-
union, which was held in the grove of
the venerable William c. Bond, which
is Just south of Greensboro, on the 9th
Of September.
The morning being somewhat
gloomy, the people were rather late IN
converting. but those living near were
there on time, ready to welcome those
from distance. among which
were jesse Bond and vie of
Peru, Indiana. who Is a brother of
William C. Bond, and their sisters,
Hannah Wilson and Lydia Menden-
nall; Jesse Bond. Isham Bond, Mr.
Hewitt and Mr.. Hiatt and their fani-
lies with many others from New Gas
tie; Mr.. and Mrs. Woodruff from Chi
csgo, Charles Bell. E. c. Bond, Will
lam Hippard, Mrs. Kautman and their
families; also Mr.. and Mrs. Alpheus
Test from Richmond, Indiana.
As the morning advanced the people
kept coming in, aud when the
noon hour arrived there was
a company of about two hundred on
the grounds.
The long tables were losded with all
The good things which the Bond women
know so well how to prepare.
When The company gathered around
the tables and the Divine blessing was
invoked, all partook Of the bountiful
supply and were filed, and then Tiers

the party that is now and has always
been in favor of sound money.

II is settled tina: General Lee and the
seventh army corps are 10 GO to Cuba
and the impression in Washington is
That they viii go about the 18th OF
October. An associated press dispatch
in this mornings papers says:
General F'itzhugh lee was at The
var department today. Ii there is 20
pressure for his imiaediate return TO
Jacksonville be intends, after going 10
New Y ork for short yisit, to spend a
few days IN the Virginia mountains,
1pon the recommendation of his physi
clan. General Lee has been suffering
0Iewhst from malaria. There
seems TO be no doubt in official
arcaes mat General Lee is sehed-
lied to go 10 Cubu. Some ques-
ion has arisen, however. as 10 the
point Ia Cuba that he will occupy
QlIte humber of pntlic men, and il
Is probable that General Lee himself
would prefer that his command go TO
Havana. There is some sentiment IN
he matter, and many persons have
xpressed the hope that as Banco
marches out General Lee might march
into the city. A number of men in
official life have already interested
themselves III this subiect and will
urge the President TO issue his orders
FOR the occupation of Cuba with this
end in view.
