ner's bill Of $500 for hats received be-
tween September and December. This
| bill merits little attention, for, II we
put the price Of each hat at. say $40,
which Is high for even leading Paris
milliner, it means five costly hats a
month, and in four consecutive months
| it means twenty costly hats; or II we
put the price at $40 each, which Is
| probably nearer the fact, it means the
prodigious number OF forty hats in
! four months! And then, II we may
infer. like the psychologists. tho

CHICKAMAUGANS PAID OFF

Chickamauga, Aug. 12-The paymasters
have finished their work at Camp Thomas
and gone to other camps further south.
The work here was finished much earlier
than at first expected, the trained pay
masters getting through the regiments
win great rapidity. The money left in
camp, as usual, is causing considerable
disorder. but strong provost guard is
preventing any serious consequences.
1t is now the general opinion at Camp
Thomas that the two divisions ordered to
days longer. The new camps selected are
being inspected by special officers and no
more will be made until they report and
their reports are thoroughly considered.
From the best information obtainable to-
day the two divisions will not march. as
was thought probable but will be sent by
rail. The officials have decided upon this
for various sufficient reasons.
Major Nye, commissary of subsistence
of the local army supply depot. and Cap
tain Mcdowell, local quartermaster, are
making preparations TO send travelling ra-
tons with the troops.
The new camps viii be supplied entirely

In personal appearance Secretary Day is
a man of frail health. His face is rather
wan and has but little color. He is a pro-
nounced blonde, though not of type to

pany; his expression is rather sad than
otherwise. Yet his sense OF tumor is
pretty keen, and when his face does relax
it is with very pleasant expression. In
his personal relations he bears but one
name-a lover of home, a good citizen, and
a stanch friend 1t is a pity that the ex-
traVaganceS which have crept into social
life here should render ii practically i'm
