Charles E. Brown, of Cincinnati,
postmaster at that place is here Wis
ting relatives. His large number of
friends are glad to see him again
and they will do all they can to
make his stay with US a pleasant
one
THE residence of James N. Davis at
the head Of Main street has been pain
ted which adds very much to its APP
pearance. There is no town in the
state in which the houses are kept as
neatly painted and in as good repair
as they are in Morgantown The
care which is exercised in this particu-
lar by the people of the town does a
great deal toward making it tho at
tractiye place that it is.
Hon. Chas. +. Brown, of Cincin-
natl, spent the day here to day hav-
ing stopped off on his way home
from the East. Mr. Brown is Post
master Of that city. His Office is
one Of the few offices of the country
in the first class. Mr. Browns West
Virginia friends are always glad to
see him and pleased that he has
achieved such prominent position
in the city of his adoption.
Stephen Ellison who was stu
dent here last year and who left
here to join the first Regiment has
been discharged from the service
and he is now on his way to Charles
ton where he lives. He has been a
very sick man and at one time was
not expected to live. He will as
soon as he can recover sufficiently
return to Morgantown and complete
his legal education which was in
terrupted when the call for men
came His many friends here will
be glad to learn that he will soon be
with them again none the worse FOR
the experience which at one time
seemed certain to result disastrous

It
Smells That Hurt.
From Poarson's Meekly. Id !

FROM Pcarsons Weekly. ut :
Some smells are dangerous. A single
sniff of highly concentrated prussic acid
will kill a man as quickly as a shot through
the heart. 4 IN
The odor of bad egg is due to the pres
ence of sulphuretted hydrogen. and the OBJ
jectionabie perfumes Of isewer and bone
factories are attributable chiefly to the
ame gas. Il,
Chemical laboratories are famous for bad
smells Berzelius, who discovered the e1e-
ment called "selenum," once tried the ex-
pertinent of permitting a bubble OF pure hy-
drogen seien1de gas to enter his nostrll.
For days afterward ne was not able to
smell strong ammonia, the olfactory nerves
being temporarily paralyZed.
Selenium gas has the odor of putrid
horseradish. Tellurium is even worse.
There is a story of physician, whose pa
tient, a lady, refused to take an absolutely
necessary rest because she was so fond of
being always on the go in society. de gave
her pill containing a small quantity OF
tellerium, and her breath was affected by
1t to such an extent that she was not able
to appear in public for a month. She never
guessed what the trouble was.
The volatiZed essential oil of roses Is
supposed to cause ''rose cold. This
peculiar complaint is so far nervous in its
character that paper roses impregnated
with the Oil sometimes excite the trouble.

Had Never Seen a Negro.
! IaslIa.s Weekly

Several years ago I went up in the noun
tains to he town oe C., which was ct
that time sixty miles from the railroad.
There were two good merchants doing an
immense business there, and I could not
afford to miss their trade, if they did use
.'ginsang'' as legal tender
There was then no colored man or woman
living In that county, and many of the peo-
pie had never seen a negro. The day /
went up there happened TO be "court day."
and the little town was full of men, women
children, dogs, guns and corn whisky They
were drinking, dancing in the streets, and
having a jolly time generally. When

Trying to Get Supplies.

We were all up al daybreak, and, making
my toilet by tightening my belt and putting
on my mud-spattered pith helmet, l went
down to the waters edge 10 try to lind some
means of communicating with the ship.
During my absence at the front there had
evidently been strong winds and heavy seas,
for the strip of beach was covered with
the wrecks of lighters which had been
smashed while trying to land supplies in
the surf, ard a large steam lghter-aunch
loaded with twenty tons or more of hard
bread, beans, etc, was lying the bottom
the shore, with the sea breaking over her.
The small temporary pier at which l land
ed when l went to the front had been COM
pletely demolished and swept away, but
construction.

Treatment of the Sick.

Il should like to say that nothing could
have been better than the arrangement of
the yellow fever camp nor kinder or more
efficient than the treatment received by the
patients, One does not need better proof
that the miserable condition of the hospital
and transportation facilities for the wound
ed was in no sense due to lack of thought
and provision the part of the surgeon
general than the fact that as soon as the
supplies were landed such a really perfect
sick bay was put in operation as that of
the yellow fever camp under the direction
of DR.. George McCreery of the regular
army
why on earth the medical department
should be blamed for the failure to land
the magnificent outfit for the hospital with
the ambulances, medicines and surgical ap-
pliances is beyond comprehension. Take,
for instance, the ambulance and hospital
outfit which DR.. La Garde, whose noble
services at Siboney cannot be exaggerated
arranged ready in perfect working order
before he left Tampa. Instead of being
put on one transport from which il could
placed upon heaven knows how many diff
ferent boats. That needs no further COM
ment. DR.. H. d. Geddings of the marine
hospital service, who took such splendid
care of US at Egmont Key, will bear me
out in this statement.
There has been a good deal of criticism
utterly unmerited regarding the surgical
and medical side of the hospital ship Relief
/ know that she fulfilled, under the able
direction of DIR. George H. Forney, to the
utmost the purpose for which she was de-
signed The Relief was unfortunate in not
having merchant quartermaster to load
her stores. and hence it was that very
much delay that could be attributed to a
lack OF lighters was occasioned. rhis was
increased through the fault of an official
in a department in Washington"

Symptoms of Yellow Fever.

symptoms Oh AeliOw EeNer.
Fortunately the yellow fever in Cuba
was very mild in form. This is not sur
prisng, for early cases in most all yellow
fever epidemics are of this type. The
symptoms of many hundreds of cases
which l saw left no doubt as TO the cor
rectness of the diagnosis. AS a rule the
fever was ushered in with a slight chill
followed by a gradually increasing fever,
which lasted for about thirty hours. Then
came a remittence, the patient for a period
of ten hours feeling about as we'll as ever.
Toward the evening of that day the fever
came again, the face became violently
suffused with distinctly marked yellowish
spots, and the fever grew higher the
pulses became less frequent, this being an
unfailing sign of yellow fever. As rule
albuminuria was present. To these symp
toms must be added the horrible headache
and pains in the back and muscles, which,
with the fever and low pulse continued
until the seventh or eighth day, though in
many cases, of course, the temperature did
not become normal until the twelfth or
fourteenth day. In many cases in our hos
pitai there was a great deal of vomiting,
though black VOmit and the collapse fol-
lowing was infrequent. This, / am inclined
TO believe, was largely owing to the mag
rfficent treatment of our good Cuban doc
tor, Escheverria. The death rate at
hospital, in the mountains about a mile
and a half from Siboney, at the time of
my departure less than 7per cent
1T is a great mistake to think even mild
yellow fever is to be regarded lightly. In
almost every case there a com pete
physical collapse and great mental depres-
sion. The weakness of the convalescent
was, indeed. painful to witness. This may
be emphasized when | tell you thar the
average loss of weight among fifteen ott-
GERS under my care from Tampa to New
York amounted to over thirty pounds. One
officer of the regular army lost fifty pounds
in weight in the eleven days he was sick.
In almost all of the cases / saw a more
or less intense malaria infection added to
the discomfort and greatly delayed the re-
covery of the sick.

Difficulty I'm Landing,

The most serious embarrassments with
which the army of invasion has had to
contend since 1t reached the coast and be-
gan its march on Santiago are, first, the
extreme difficulty of landing supplies In a
place like this, where there is neither pier
nor shelter, and where the beach is dashed
large part of the time by a high and dan
gerous surf, and second, the difficulty of
getting these supplies to the front over a
single line of very bad road, with an insult
nclent number of mules and army wagons
General Skaters commiSSaries and quar-
termaSters have done all that they could do
since they arrived, and, under the circum-
stances, have succeeded fairly well: but If
these two difficulties had been foreseen and
provided for there would not now be so
many smashed lighters and launches on
the beach, and the soldiers at the front
would not have been so much of the time
on short rations nor have been compelled
to boil water and cook their rations in cof-
Zee cups and tomato cans as they are now
doing. The difficulty of landing supplies on
this exposed ana surf-beaten coast might
nave been anticipated, it seems to me, and
provided for.
Many Things Needed
Our army before Santiago has suffered
for want of a great many things that the
soldiers had with them on the transports
but that were not landed and carried
promptly forward. Among such things are
large tents, rubber blankets, camp kettles
and large cooking utensils generally
