pressive service, and number of the men
 

pressfve service, and number of the men took part in it.
 The great respect which was given the association tent by all of the men was its highest testimonial They never spoke of the tent nor of the secretary in a jeering, scoffing way, as soldiers do of most things, even of religious subjects. They realized that it was a work of practical Christian ity devoted unselfshly to the interests of themselves and of necessity they respect ed it. Very seldom was a man heard to curse in the tent, and when such thing did happen, 1t needed only a word of re- hinder from MT. Dix or some other thoughtful man to bring the offender to a realization of what he was doing, and the swearing was stopped at once.
 One instance is told of a soldier who, on being reproved by MT. Dix for swearing, looked up at the latter and asked.
 Don't you ever cuss?"
 Why, mo-" replied the latter.
 The soldier seemed to be amazed to find a man who never used profanity, but an- swered:
 Well, I suppose some of us are born to cuss and others not to cuss. I reckon I'm one of them that cusses. Anyhow, I'll hush just because you asked me-"
 One minister, MT. Anderson from Mis- sssippi who visited the camp at Miami, said that of all the institutions and de- partments of the army, the Young Mems Christian association tents were the best and most satisfactorily conducted, and that when all was over and the inevitable investigations began, that the Young Mems Christian association army tents would be the only department that would not be criticised.

~THE RLAY@

Lincoln J. Carter's melodrama, "Remem- Der the Maine," was played to fair houses yesterday matinee and night. It was writ ten to catch the spirit of the times, and does so admirably. While somewhat sem sational in character, the interest of the audience is held until the final curtain falls. The scenery and mechanical effects are very elaborate, and the destruction of the Maine and the naval battle off Cavite were quite realistic, at least to the eye of the landsman who never saw a battleship.
 The transfer of the principal characters from Havana on February to Manila on May l was pretty lively travelling, but possible nevertheless
 The parts were well placed especially that of Senorita Roferro Romero high born Spanish lady, which was taken by Miss Joseper Mills. General Fitzhugh Lee, Captain Charles Sigsbee and General Wey- Ter lent their names if not their presence to the performance.
 The applause at times was uproarous, and on one occasion the entire company was compelled to respond to a curtain call
 "who Is Who"
 The next attraction at O'Brien's opera house will be Friday night when Kelly & Mason will appear in a comedy of compli- cations seasoned with vaudeville features entitled "Who is Who."
 One of the many features of this seasons production is the high class act of the Sis ters Whiting, premier cornettists These accomplished sisters are the equal of any lady cornettists living and the sweet music they produce from their golden instruments is of remarkably high order. One of their features is a duet medley of national airs, in conjunction with a full orchestra It is invariably greeted with tumultuous ap- plause. The very refined nature of the speciality is one of its chief charms

One of the soldiers last night who had been celebrating his release, came steering across the street in a rudderless fashion, about "three sheets in the wind" and brought up where one of his whilom con- rades stood on the corner, newly made "cit" from the top of his natty derby to the shining tips of his patent-lea eathers. Without word and with drunken solemn ity he took off the others derby, carefully examined 1t inside and out, felt of the clothes critically, lifted each foot and in- spected the patent-leather; then with des- perate effort he strengthened up and grave ly saluted; after which he zigzagged grace fully away in search Of tine nearest bar.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

race, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form OF red pimpIes
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. NV
wlfe's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods SarsaparilIa. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

The Storm.

The heavy storm which passed
over this section last Monday after
noon was one of the most severe
ever experienced here. The Sixth
and Ninth districts and the lower
end of Chester county seem to have
borne the brunt of it. Consider
able damage of minor nature was
done, fields washed, green fruit
knocked from the trees, corn fields
damaged and some roads badly
washed. The road at Howard
Browns mill, near Calvert, is
almost impossible this side Of the
bridge, immense holes four feet in
depth being followed out.
The lightning also played havoc
in several sections. A pump was
struck at the house of Jos. Lincoln,
Aaron Michner's barn was struck
but not fired; a stable belonging to
VIM. Virgins near the paper mill
was struck and two cows killed.
A large gum tree near the store and
dwelling occupied by Mr.. Taylor,
at New Bridge, was struck and
demolished. Mrs. Taylor was so
severely shocked that she remained
unconscious for nearly an hour but
recovered. The new barn on the
farm of Harvey Graves, of East
Nottingham, Pa, was struck and
burned. Elmer West. a young
man, was sitting on wheelbarrow
under the overshoot of the barn at
the time. The shock knocked him
to the ground and stunned him for
a few minutes. On regaining his
feet he ran to the stables and with
the help of two other men rescued
three horses. A calf, two mows OF
new hay, new wagon, horserake
and other implements were burned
with the building.

Hay and Wheat.

Hay and wheat are quoted by
our warehouse men nominal
The city quotations for wheat run
from 60 to so cents. Last year on
the same dates the quotations were
a trifle lower but rising. This year
they are on the down grade, and
the wheat crop is light. A man
who runs a binder when asked how
the wheat was turning out, said: 81
have cut six fields; three of them
were pretty good and three not
worth anything"
Farmers should hold their hay
awhile is the opinion of dealers,
and not rush it in Immediately
after harvest and glut the market.
There is a good deal of old hay on
hands. Wheat should be held for
a time, till the new is dry enough
to grind. Damp, new wheat tends
to break down the price of all.
