There is one thing to say about the
women who have been coming to the
Maine woods for the last ten years. Not
one has yet shot one of the guides for
bear or her husband for deer. The
woodsmen say that when the women are
out hunting they are very cautious with
all a woman's inherent fear that some
thing will happen, and that no matter
how unskiiled the woman may be in the
use of firearms, they, the guides, are
never apprehensive of accidents. 1t is

that while the sanitary condition re-

for the United States against the inva-
sions of yellow fever epidemcs.
Your correspondent has accompanied the
colonel in some of his investigating trips
inland around the city, and Col Waring
has said to him that it is the worst case
of filth and carelessness in city-that he
knows of in his long experience with
these matters. In addition to a sewerage
system, of which not the slightest sugges-
ton exists in Havana. and new pave
ments for the streets the colonel thinks
that 100, go water closets ought to be i'm
ported here and each house provided with
one. Perhaps the whole cost would
amount to nearly S5O. .0OO. .t00 hut it is sac

A Santiago Hero Risks Life for n
Chum and Finds n Powerful Friend

Bucyrus, o., Oct 3O-Walter Hubble Of
this place, is only seventeen years old.
but in the past few months he has had
experience enough to make a man of him.
Walter enlisted in answer TO the first
can Tor troops in Company A of the
Eighth Ohio. leaving school just before
commencement.
He was sent with the regiment to Sam
tiago. had his share of the depriyations
and horrors of that campaign. and was
Ill when taken aboard the TRANSPORT to he
sent TO Montauk.
On the ship was a boon companion of
Walter Jimmie Fulton. aged fifteen, the
Eighth Ohio's bugler. Jimmie vas
stricken with typhoid. The ship was
and the surgeon said that II was an even
chance whether not Jimmie ever
reached home.
When Walter heard that his friend
was sick. and that one reason of the
slow progress of the transport was the
scarcity of coal beavers, he forgot his
own illness and volunteered TO shovel
coal.
His example was followed by other SOL
diers, the boilers were kept hot, the
transport made her best time and Jim
mics life was saved.
After the race with death was won
Walter succumbed TO the fever and
when taken from the train at Long
Island City was delirious.
President Baldwin, of the Long Island
Railroad Company, was at the train, and
the pitiful condition of the boy touched
his heart He accompanied the sufferer
to the hospital and spent the greater part
of the day at his bedside.
The next day Walter was improved and
President Baldwin had him removed to
a New York City hospital, where. by
Mr.. Baldwin's orders. he was given a
private apartment and special nurses.
Hubble recovered and Mr. Baldwin
took him to his own home. paid all the
bills of his Illness, amounting to hun
dreds of dollars, bought round-trip
ticket to Bucyrus and return, and, put
ting it into the young mans hand, said:
Walter, go home and be mustered out
and then report at my private office in
New York for duty"
Hubble will return TO New York soon
after he is mustered out.

TROOPERS COMING HOME
Granted Burroughs on Account
of Sickness.
THEY WILL BE WELCOMED
b Real Condition OF Affairs at Camp
Thomas Has Not Been Half Told.
Impossible to Care for All
the Sick.

Missoula, Aug. 29.-There will be six
or seven more of the troop + boys
home from Chickamauga before long.
according 10 the statement of Captain
Higgins. who say that twice that num-
Der have been granted f~urloughs on ac-
count of sickness. They will be well
coined home and their friends here are
glad that they are able to come home.
From the accounts that are received
of the conditions at Camp Thomas, it
is evident that the truth has not been
told by the general news that has been
sent out from there. Some Of the sto-
ries. told in private correspondence or
I'm special dispatches, have given some
idea OF the real state of affairs. The
suffering of the boys has been terrible,
and If what former residents of the
Southern states affirm is true, the
worst Is yet to come, as September is
the most dangerous month in the lat
itude of the camp. This being the case
IL seems wise to muster out the boys
at once IL they are not to be retained
in service, or, If they are needed. to
remove them Immediately to "A better
camping place. Captain Higgins says
that the medical corps at Camp Thorn
as is not able TO care for the sick men
and that 1t will be almost impossible
to get a force of surgeons that can do
so. The conditions are such tina no
amount or doctors and medicine can
prevent serious illness. The climate
and the water, the change of food and
the exposure of camp life have all con-
tributed to break down the systems of
the men and they are i'm no condition
to resist disease. Thai they will have
10 race even worse conditions than
heretofore. as soon as the coming
month arrives, there is little doubt. The
only wonder is, after listening to the
accounts given by Captain Higgins
n those of his men who ave return
ed, that more men have not died.
Captain Higgins will endeavor TO en-
INST the services of the Montana sena-
tors I'm the effort to have the regiment
mustered out at nee. This, he says
is the purpose Of his visit to Montana,
and he is going about at once. He
hopes TO have his troop brought to
Fort Missoula for the muster out. In
that case, If the order for the muster
Is obtained, IL will not be long before
the boys are at home again. That
there is general anxiety all through
western Montana concerning the well
fare of the boys who went out from
mere is apparent from the number of
inquiries that are received at the
standard office every day. Parents
n friends are persistent in their in
qulr1es and there are many questions
asked. Ii Will be a great relief to
these anxious people when the muster
out order Is given.
