PAY OF SOLDIERS.
Was Withheld at the Request OF
Colonels of Regiments.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Consider-
able complaint has reached the War
Department from different parts of the
country because the volunteer troops IN
Cuba did not receive their pay. In
most instances the pay of the Volun-
teers was three months in arrears, and
the Government has been criticised for
not paying the men promptly. Now
that the troops have returned to the
United States, it develops that the men
were not paid because the Colonels of
fifteen regiments requested the Pay
master General to withhold the money
due the troops until they should return
to the United States.
Paymaster General Stanton says the
Government had an efficient corps of
paymasters and plenty of money in
Cuba, and could have paid the men
promptly but for the request made by
the officers commanding the regiments.

WOmen's $3.50 Shoes.

} Not one style, but many, and
some of them exceedingly pretty.
Here IS one with plain kid toe in
! stead OF patent leather, ard with
fancy black vesting running up
the lnstep. Then, too, the leather
on the lower part Of the shoe is
, curved and scalloped in various
pleasing ways.
A similar shoe, and same price
(S2.5o), has patent leather tips
and uppers OF dark fancy vesting.
A splendid walking shoe with a
"manish" air is of box calf, with
square kid tops and heavy soles.
1t, too, is $3.50.
But why not come in, if inter-
ested, and see the shoes for them
selves? You'll find them better
than the descriptions indicate.

The board held that while the State
could assume no debt arising from ex-
hibts at the fair, Mr.. Hatch had never
been released from duty by the Califor-
MIA Worlds Fair Commissioners, and
that as he had acted in good faith his
claim was equitable and ought to be
paid. The claim is for $1,000, and a
bill appropriating that amount was
passed by the last Legislature and ve-
toed by Governor Budd on the ground
that the Midwinter Fair was not un-
der control of the State.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Orpheum last night there was
another delighted audience. The
vaudeville company now occupying
the boards at that temple of amuse-
ment is a particularly strong one, and
every number of the program has more
than usual merit. Charles Case is
irresistibly funny, and SO are Hines
and Remington. Charles and Mae
Stanley are a very pleasing pair, while
it is worth the price of admission to
hear Jacklin and Grodjens sing their
war songs. The same bill tonight
