Thackcray was much pestcred by the
autograph hunter, says Holder in his
"Recollections. He dislikcd above all
things to write in an autograph album,
and often refused those who asked him
to do SO and sometimes rather brusquely.
On one occasion the owner of an al
bum, young lady. was fortunate.
Thackeray took her book to his room in
order to look it over. Written on page
he found these lines:
Mont Blanc Is the monarch of mountains
They crowned him long ago
But who they got to put it on
Nobody seems to know.
ALBERT SMITH
Under these lines Mr. Thackeray
wrote:
HUMBLE SUGGESTION

But yet methlnis that l.lnlley Murray

landing at Montauk Point, Aug. IS, he went to the detention hospital. With some of hls comrades he was assigned to some new tents in the hospital.
 When asked what he received to eat, he said: .I suppose they forgot us. We did not get anything until the next day, when an orderly gave us some soup. A surgeon visited us at noon. He made cursory examination of us and said he would send medicine immediately. The medicine did not reach us until late that night.
 Stricken With Fever
 pr. Frank Donaldson, who joined Roose- velts regiment on June 8, and was stricken with yellow fever on June 24, followed MT. Henry on the stand. Asked by pr. Conner as to the condition of the hospitals, he re- piled:
 ''I do not wish to criticise Dr. LeGarde, whom l greatly admire, but they were en- tirely swamped. There was an insufficient supply of medical stores, nurses and stew ards. The majority of the stewards were of most undesirable character, and should never have been selected for such service.
 Regarding medical supplies Dr. Donald son said there were supplies, but they could not be reached. Speaking of his own regi- ment, he said he got supplies because he went out and hustled for them.
 They were not served out to you?' asked Dr. Conner
 Not by a large majority" was the re- ply. We got what we hustled for, and nothing else''
 Did the men receive good care and at tention in the hospitals?'
 ''They suffered from lack of care because of the inefficiency of the nurses. The doc tors were efficient and devoted"
 Dr. Donaldson criticised Dr. Lesser, the head of the Red Cross hospital in Cuba, severely. and declared that although pr. Lesser passed as an expert on yellow fe- yer, he did not know what yellow fever was until he was stricken with it.
 Speaking of the general hospital at Mon tauk, Dr. Donaldson said that he consid- cred it an excellent hospital, well estab- lished, and after the first half dozen days thoroughly well conducted. The nursing was satisfactory.
 Dr. Donaldson was asked several ques- tions based upon newspaper clippings de- tailing "outrages the soldiers" Dr. Donaldson declared them all untrue, and reiterated his statement that there was no fault anywhere and that several statements made were "absolute lies"
 James Sewers, of the Seventy-hrst regf- ment, served from the time the regiment went to Camp Black until mustered out last week. He complained that the volun- teers were not treated as well as the regu- lars. Asked to explain what he meant. ne said the volunteer officers took care of themselves, while the regular officers took care of their men.
 Mrs Mary Manson was the-iast witness of the day. She had been in Camp Wikon in charge of division of the women known as the War Relief association She said the men at Camp Wikoff had suffered very greatly, and had been ill-treated. When General Dodge told her that the men had testified that they were not badly treated and had not been neglected at Camp Wi koff. Mrs. Manson declared that if they so testified they said what was not true.
 Shortly before o'clock the hearing was adjourned until tomorrow.

ESCAPED THE LAW.
Steamer Briardene Outwits the Harlem
 Police at Queenstown.

Queenstown, November 1S.-Something in the nature of a sensation was caused here. today by the extraordinary conduct of Cap tain Johnson, commander of the steamer Briardene. which arrived here on October 21 from New York, extensively damaged by severe weather during which she was almost submerged for ten days. Since that the Briardene has been repairing for a passage west The Briardene was arrested this morning by marshal of the admiral . court for debt, and a bailiff was placed on board her. The captain determined to de- fly the court and started for Delaware breakwater. But the pilot. who was on board, refused to navigate the ship out of the harbor, with the result that the cap tain attempted to do so and grounded the Brardene off Haul Bow Line. Two hours later she was foated off. In the mean time the admiralty court officials commit n'cated with the admiral in charge of this station and the latter sent a steam pinnace to intercept the Briardene The pinnace met the Briardene as the latter was pass ing out of Queenstown harbor at full speed and ordered her to stop.
 The captain of the steamer paid no att tention to the summons, but continued on to sea as fast the engines of the Briar- dene could drive, with the little pinnace following in pursuit. The chase was watched by excited crowds ashore. Off Spike island the Briardene had completely outdistanced the pinnace and the latter gave up the pursuit.
