A good deal has appeared in the public
prints lately with regard to the conduct in
the city of Washington of volunteer SOL
diers from Camp Alger The soldiers, it
is said, scandalize the capital by holding
daily and nightly revels and orgies an the
streets and resorts of the city, and the
police courts arc filled with cases of out,
RACES upon public peace, dignity and de-
cency by men from the camp. There
seems to be no doubt that a very disagree
able state of affairs exists. Whose fault
is it? The tendency heretofore has been
to saddle the blame wholly upon the SOL
diers. One of the enlisted men, however
protests against this injustice, and in a
letter to the Washington Times makes out
a strong case showing that the city of
Washington is largely to blame for the
conduct of the soldiers.
The defender of the volunteers points out
that every temptation to depart from
paths of probity is set forth before the
soldiers, openly and above board. Saloons
and dives are run wide open, and the in
vitation TO enter is presented IN the most
attractive form possible. Most of the vol
unteers in camp are young men from rural
districts, unacquainted with the pitfalls
of great cities, and hence are the COM
paratively easy victims of schemers who
are peTpetually on the lookout to grab a
dollar or a dime. "I have been in mining
towns of Kansas, Missouri and Colorado"
writes the correspondent of the Times
"and in none of them did I ever see temp
tations to drunkenness and immortality so
openly, aggressively and fagrantly forced
upon men as I did during the few hours
Of my leave in your city" And this was
in the capital of the nation the seat of
government, the center of the law-making
powerl Young men whose families had
sent them u the front to defend the ma
tlon's honor. even with their lives if neces-
sary, were being debauched in a more
open and fragrant manner than had ever
been noted in the wild mining camps of the
West!

but for what can be gotten out OF them
And in many instances not great deal

which they are drained Of their money
Several instances IN Illustration have oc-
CURED lately, and one OF them is the mat
ter of the Camp Alger troops in Washing

Rumors of Fever at Tampn.

The positive announcement by the Presi-
dent of the state board of health of
Florida that there is no yellow fever in
Tampa viii have very Quieting effect in
ali parts oe the country, and will lift a
load of anxiety from the minds of those
who have relatives and friends among the
volunteers who are still in camp there. The
President of the state board of health
says that he made the announcement af-
ter a most careful house-to- house inspec-
ton. A statement of the health board Of
Florida can be relied upon. The health
officer of that state Is pledged 10 let the
country know the fact if a case of yell
low fever should be discovered anywhere
in the states limits, and there is no doubt
that he will keep his pledge faithfully.
Although there is no yellow fever in
Tampa, there is undoubtedly a good deal
Of fever of other kinds, principally typhoid
and malarial. And 1T is not at all remark
able that there is a great deal of sickness
there. From all accounts the sanitary con-
dition of the town is very bad. There IS
no system of sewerage and no way in
which the filth of the camps can be got
lid of promptly The consequence is that
the town is in such a condition that If the
yellow fever should be introduced there 1t
would, in all probability, quickly become
epidemic.
Tampa may be very good point for the
shipment of troops to Cuba, but it would
be a serious mistake to send troops there
during the summer and fall to remain in
camp, and it would be unjust to the SOL
diers now there to compel them to stay
longer than is absolutely necessary. MANY
Of those now there are III, and, as the
summer advances. the sickness among
them win be very much more general than
il is at present.
There are healthy places in Florida
where camps can be established. Why.
then, keep The soldiers in an unhealthy
placer The men who compose our volun-
teer force did NOT enlist to fight disease,
though they would willingly do that should
the necessity for doing so arise. 1t is the
duty of the government to see to it that
the volunteers are not unnecessarily ex-
posed to disease. They responded prompt-
~ to the Presidents call for troops with
which to carry on the war with Spain, and
they will prove themselves to be worthy
soldiers whenever the opportunity to do so
presents itself. Therefore the government
ought 10 see to it that they are placed
in camps where the health conditions are
good, and where there is very little dan
ger from fever Of any kind.

Miss BIykins, Education.

It's a forlorn hope emarl1ed Mr.. Bly,
kins as he picked up the paper, according
to the Washington Star, "but I've got to
do something. What page are the educa-
tional advertisements on?"
why, you know, Lucretia has just
graduated and it's the vacation season
now" replied his wife.
Yes. But 1 want her to take a special
course of study. 1t may be for a few
weeks or it may be several months. 1t all
depends on her aptitude. L don't suppose
I'll find the sort of a school I want but
if don't I'll start one myself. She's got
to be educated some more
IF some people, his wife commented
rather sharply, "knew half as much about
the classics and English grammar and
trigonometry as Lucretia does
That's all right. She knows 'em ell.
She can go into a museum and read the
door plates in the mummy department.
And what's more, Lucretia is a nice plain,
sensible girl, who is willing and able to
help around the house when the servant
goes on a strike. Do you know young
Mr.. Twiggs?"
Yes. He called on Lucretia yesterday
evening"
HE did. But he won't come back any
more. He's an intelligent, Industrious
young man of good family. Lucreta is

overhear a little of their conversation yes
terday, quite by accident. He said:
Dear Miss Blykins, what I have to say
may sound strange to you, but I wish
you could look into my heart and learn
my feelings
''You don't mean it," gasped Mrs. Bly,
kins
Yes. And Lucretia answered in a very
naughty voice. Mr.. Twiggs, 1 fail to see
why you should make me confidente
concerning any cardiac complications
with which you may be afflicted. Lucre-
tia is all right in the classics and the other
ordinary branches of higher education.
All she needs now is a course of instruc-
ton in the foolishnees that comes natural
to most girls, like the language of flowers,
and that sort of thing"

why the Park Was Closed.

An English paper tells a story of royal
duke who has the reputation of being
somewhat close in money matters. On
wet afternoon he hailed a cab in Bond
street, and requested to be driven 20 Vic
toria station. Arrived at that terminus
he handed the cabman shilling. Then,
of course, came the inevitable, " Ere,
what's this? Can't you make it another
tanner?"
Certainly not" said the noble fare.
And what is more, you came the wrong
way. What made you go right round
Hyde Park corner and Grosvenor Placer"
The cabby saw that he had no chance
and chaffingly replied, "Wot for? Cos
St. James Park is closed-thats wot fort"
CLOSED? ST. James Park closed. Why,
hows that?"
"Oh, they say as how the dock dropped
a three-penny bit a comm across the park
last night, and the parks closed till they
find it!'

A Queer Hahit.

a Cleveland man has set about learning
the use of the typewriter, says the CIeve-
land Plain Dealer. Up to the present time
he mas had somebody to do his typewriting
for him, but now he wants to know how to
run it an by himself. lie admits that he
isn't an apt scholar. 1t comes slowly. The
letters are hard to find and the spacing
is so easily forgotten. But there is one
thing that 'amuses him. He Is learning to
speh, and learning In the same way he did
When tow-headed boy in the early eos.
OF course he could spell when he tackled
the typewriter, but not in the same way.
Now he distinctly enumerates each letter
and does 1t, too, with the greatest care.
1t is funny thing, but he finds himself
spelling out the words in the newspaper,
and his wife says he spells them in his
sleep.
The other day the minister met him and
asked him how he was:
Very WE'LL" he gravely spelled out,
and when the pastor looked amazed he
realized what he had done and hastily ex-
planned the cause of the popularity. And
the minister protested TO be greatly inter
ested and wanted to know all about it,
and the speller is now greatly worried for
fear the parson will write a special paper
on it for some magazine.
When the minister finally left him he
shook hands and said "Goodby."
Good" began the speller, and then re-
collected himself and hastily added "by.''
He hopes in time to wear out this pecu-
liarity, and when he increases his speed on
the typewriter he no doubt will.
