The question is being asked all over

as luxuriously as at home, they GER

immunity from disease.
The matter is beyond argument.
That the men who stand ready to de-

First Man to Enter Libby.

The town OF Holyoke. Lass. includes
among her citizens an interesting vet
eran OF the civil war in the person OF
Philander A. Streeter. who was the
first man to enter Libby prison at
Richmond. MIR. Streeter, a vermonter
by birth. was mustered into Company
c, Second Vermont Volunteers. in
June, 1861. He was captured after the
first battle OF Bull Run. through stop
ping to carry a wounded comrade from
the field. He and some other prison.
ers we're taken to Manassas Junction.
and shipped thence to Richmond, being
the first consignment of hated "Yanks"
to enter Libby. Streeter says that the
treatment they received from their
captors was about what might be ex-
pected. but that the people OF Rich
mond, particularly the women. were
abusive in the extreme. On arriving
there they were lined up. the ver-
monter in the lead. and marched into
the grim and dingy old place. which
later was the scene of SO much suffer-
ing. After being in Libby five months
and fourteen days he was exchanged.
having meanwhile been reduced in
weight from 165 to an even 100 pounds.
While in the prison he carved from
the ones that accompanied their
soups various little rings and other
knickknacks. which he still keeps,
along with the last ration OF hard
tack which was served out at the
prison. This is still as fresh looking
as ever and undoubtedly just as dry
and tasteless. He also has n large
collection Of personal relics-the coat,
cartridge box. blouse. cap cover, etc,
that he wore while in the war. After
a furlough, in which he recovered his
health In some measure, he again
went to the front. and with his com
pany saw hard service in the second
battle of Bull Run. in the battles OF
the Wilderness. and before Richmond,

with carteblanche order on the treas
ury of the Confederate states. He was
knSwn in all branches of the Confed
crate service as the best marksman
with rifle or revolver in either army.
He was wounded sixty-seven times.
and thirteen times his lungs were
pierced. Five times in the course OF
the war he was reported dead. On
Two occasions he was able with the aid
or mirrors to look into apertures in
his flesh and watch the beating OF his
own heart.
Maj. Fontaine has kept complete
diary for nearly forty years, and this
IN itself is an unusually interesting
work, comprising a number of volumes
and containing much valuable infor-
nation. He also has many documents
signed by prominent officers of the
Confederate army bearing testimony
to his remarkable craftsmanship.
Yes" said Maj. Fontaine last night.
1t would seem as though l had spent
the most of my life on the battlefield.
My life has been rather eventful in

These documents l have saved all

be interesting and valuable. care for
