Ponce, Thursday, by New York Her

mas, d. w. l., July 30.-The city OF
Ponce was formally given over to the
Americans yesterday afternoon. Fer
dinand Toro the British consul, acting
in behalf of the Spaniards, placed the
city in the possession of Major Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles, with whom was
General Wilson.
The scene was more like on a gaia
day than one involving the surrender
of the city. A majority of the resi-
dents remained in the city city to wei
come the Americans. The ceremony
was unique. General Miles and Gen
eral Wilson, by a pre-arranged plah'
had been driven from the American
Headquarters ut Port Ponce to Casa
Rel Rey, in the city proper where
Consul Toro and Ulplano Colon, the
mayor of the city, awaited them. The
bombero or city fire brigade was
drawn up opposite Casa Del Rey, and
as General Miles and General Wilson
left their carriage the fire brigade baini
played Sousa marches. A guard in
front of the building forced a way for
the American generals, and through
the cheering crowd they walked into
the building where they were present
ed to Consul Toro and Mayor Colon.

Birmingham, Ala, July 30.-The
Alabama election, at which a full state
ticket is to be chosen will be held next
Monday The campaign, which has
been vigorous and bitter, comes to II
close tonight with big rallies in Blrm'
ingham and other counties
Difficulties are anticipated, as both
democrats and popullsts will have
counter meetings. Tom Watson of
Georgia, S. A. Hobson, Congressman
Howard and G, A. Dean are among
the populist speakers.
Chairman G. b. Grove of the popu-
list state executive and congressional
committee is in receipt of number
of letters from party leaders all over
the state offering to lead forces under
his command in case he finds 1t nee
essary to set up n dual government,
finding that his party has been de-
frauded in the election which takes
place on Monday DR.. Grove says
the reports that are coming in from
all sections are very encouraging to
his party and that all he fears is the
democratic count.
A. McIIan, editor of the Gadsden
Tribune and Sand Mountain Signal,
the latter published at Boaz Ala, has
written letter to Chairman Grove, an
extract from which is as follows:
IF Captain Dean is elected and the
last analysis of liberty in this county
demands it, you can command me to
lead 1000 as brave men from Etowah
and Marshall counties as ever sholl-
dered a musket or stained battlefield

ready to join the forces to "bite thu

Austin, Texas, July 30.-The railroad
commission yesterday evening wired
an order to the effect that the express
companies must furnish and cancel the
revenue stamp which is affixed to re-
ceiprs for merchandise shipped by ex-
press under the provisions of the war
tax act.
This order is based upon ,construc-
tons of articles 81 and 322 of the
Revised Statutes defining the obliga-
lions of common carriers, as well as
upon a construction Of article 1888, by
which construction the collection of
the stamp tax from the shipper is
treated as an overcharge or extortion.
The order concludes with the notiti-
cation that violations thereof will b.
reported to the attorney general.

Camp of First Division, Seventh
Army Corps Miami, Fla. July 3d.
The water now being furnished the
troops is all boiled and the disease
germs it contains are thus effectually
disposed of, but in this climate 1t is
absolutely necessary that ice be used
ans the process of freezing, as is well
known, has no effect on the germs
Thus it will be seen that, although the
water is practically free from impuri-
ties when it leaves the boiling watts,
the addition of the ice which is made
from the infected water, puts the IL
quid in much the same condition as it
was previously.
Eevry effort is being made by the
regimental surgeons to reduce the
amount of sickness, but great deal
of criticism has been directed against
the chief surgeon of the division on
account of the manner in which the
/ hospital is conducted. 1 have seen
men go to drill when so i'll that they
could hardly stand up, simply because
they preferred to suffer almost any
hardship rather than allow their names
to go on the sick call and be sent to
the hospital. 1t is true that the hospi-
tai surgeons have been handicapped
to certain extent by the lack of pro,
per supplies, but the complaints ara
not all made on this score.

70 call attention to a noble and philan-
shroplc woman. Mrs. A. l.. D'Areambal-
the founder Of the home. who has made
a record Of years Of disinterested work
for prisoners and discharged convlcts.
The history OF Mrs. p'Areambal and
her works reads like romance. More
than flfty years ago. when she was AS
mes Harrington. little girl in Buffalo,
she went one day to the Jail 20 take a
dinner 10 a prisoner al the request OF
a friend. Her visit made q deep i'm
pressson upon her mind and she could
not keep from thinking about the un-
fortunate men she had seen within the
walls and behind iron bars. she often
went again. and began her life work
or helpulness iii this small but devoted
way. Not long afterward she removed
to Kalamazoo Mich She continued
her work among prisoners BY visiting
the little frame jail One day Of each
week she gave up entirely TO the prls-
oners. She went about asking for sub
scrfptions and donations OF clothing,
books and fruit AS many OF those
whom she had helped wrote 10 her
from tho state prison Mt Jackson. she
began a series OF visits to that institu-
tion. which has not been interrupted
since that time. She early married
becoming Mrs. D'Arcambal AS the
cells in the state prison were dark.
she secured lights for them from the
legislature. and then by great effort
going. from city to city. she obtained
large number OF books and magazines
for library for the prisoners. NO
one who came under her notice failed
TO receive help in both material and
spiritual lines. She made the prison.
ers love her for her Kindness and good
works. When they left the institution
wherein they we're confined they did
not forget her. but often wrote to her.
telling how they were getting on. Like
Jean Vatican in Lies Miserables.
many Of them could find nothing to
do. no one to have anything to do with
them. no place to go, no friends. MO
therv D,Arcamhal conceived the idea
of establishing home for such men,
where they could learn to look the
world in the face after the gloomy ana
DEGRADING influence of prison life. Afte-
much hard personal work for this end
she finally succeeded in opening the
home OF industry in Detroit. In the
ten years during which the home has
heen running more than 1900 dis
charged prisoners have been assisted to
lead lives of respectability.
