The reports sent out from Chickamauga
relative TO sickness in that camp are not
complimentary to the physicians who have
charge of the hospital arrangements there
There is bound to be some sickness in so
large a camp. but there does not appear
10 be any reason for as much as there is
reported to be.
The location of the camp is excellent the
climate Is as good as there is in the world
and the water is reported 10 be satisfac-
tory. At this season Of the year, there
FORE there ought not to be much sickness
al Chckamauga. The fact must not be
overlooked that all the men there recent
ly underwent a very careful physical ex-
animation, and We're pronounced to be in
a healthy condition.
A day or two ago Gen. Brooke, who
commands the camp, announced through
the newspapers that much of the sickness
there was caused by indigestible articles
of food sent 10 the men by loving rela-
tiyes. He advised that the sending of
boxes of edibles be stopped and that those
who had anything to give should send
money for the purchase of lemons and
other necessary things for those confined
In the hospitals. The suggestion is a good
one and should receive the consideration
il deserves.
A statement which appears to have some
foundation is that the division and regi-
mental hospitals are so crowded that it is
impossible to give those who are i'll the
attention they ought TO have. The camp
has been established at Chickamauga long
enough to be provided with ample hos
pital accommodations. The lack of such
accommodations indicates that there is
poor management somewhere.
The people are paying the bills, and it is
their intention that the volunteers should
have plenty of wholesome food and as
good attention as can be given them when
they are i'll. If those in charge of the hos
pitfalls at Chickamauga are incompetent OF
neglectful the fact ought to be known tc
the commander of the camp and he should
see TO it that better men are put in their
places.
1t is true that the reports of sickness al
the camp may be exaggerated. 1t is tc
be hoped they are. Sul, there would
hardly be so many reports all of the same
character, If there were not some founda-
ton for them.

IL is stated that the total value Of cot
ton seed products last year was not less
than Sl20.000.OG0. Only a few years Sgo
the cotton seed was regarded as being With
out value. 1t was a waste product, and
was thrown away. Then it was discovered
that a good fertilizer could be made Of the
seed, but only a small proportion of the
output was utilized in that way. Follow
ing came the oil industry. and the various
other products which nave grown ap
around that industry. until now the cot
ton seed is a very important part of the
crop. Meanwhile, ii may be remarked
that the value of the seed is not even now
always included in estimates of the value
of the cotton crop. The producers re-
turn from his investment and labor is cal
culated upon the price he receives for his
lint, and but little If any thought is given
to the millions of money brought into the
South by the seed

At a recent western wedding the we'd

While rapidly driving through Berlin
the other day Emperor Williams horses

up the disheveled damsel, stood her on her

Long before MT. De LONE was found
out in his letter writing he wrote to Capt
c. c. Dillon, Cuban ilibuster. offering
a large sum if the captain would allow
himself to be captured by a Spanish cEui-
ser when he had a good cargo of arms
and ammunition on board. The idea was,
of course, to secure evidence that the Uni
ted States was secretly helping the Gu
bans. Capt. DILLON is himself the authori-
ty for this story and says he has the let

might have been postponed until after

There are a number of little things,
which could be done without a great deal
of expense, that would add much to the
looks of the city and the comfort and
convenience of It's citizens. The reformer
who will look after them will win the
gratitude of the people
First on the list is the matter of the old
lamp posts which, as a rule are nearly
always in the wrong place. The globes or
lanterns which once made them slightly
have long since disappeared. and nothing
remains but the ugly, implanted posts,
which in many instances have departed
from that uprightness which should be an
example to all observers. The old posts
should be removed, except where they sup
port mail boxes. and in such cases their
tops should be cut off.
In the same category with the old lamp
posts are the wooden, stone and iron
guard posts at corners. Once they served
a purpose, but their day is past They are
now simply Instructions, and are a source
of danger to pedestrians and of damage
to vehicles. Besides being in the way. they
are an eyesore. The removal of the old
lamp posts and guard posts could be ac-
complshed quickly and for little cost, and
while they would never be missed for prac-
teal purposes, their absence would afford
a most gratifying relief to the eye
And then there should be a thorough
overhauling of the sidewalks. There is not
street in the city, with the possible ex-
ception of Bull, upon which extensive re-
pairs to the sidewalks are not needed. The
"hop-and-go-fetch-i sidewalk of uneven
brick, which twists the ankle and makes
pedestrianism a punishment, should go
The city can repair sidewalks cheaper and
better than private parties can do it. and
the probabilities are that there is not
taxpayer that would object TO paying a
small charge for sidewalk repairs in the
way of insurance against twisted ankles
and the maledictions of passers-by. The
asphalted streets are fine, but when one
looks at the sidewalks which border those
streets il would seem that we think more
of our horses than we do of ourselves.
Last but not least is a matter which is
much complained about by strangers in
the city namely, the lack of signs al cor
ners giving the names of the streets 1t
is true that there remain a few old signs
on the corners, but they are almost old
enough to vote. They We're put up some
think like twenty years ago, and are so
nearly illegible that in most instances they
are more confusing than helpful to the
wayfarer who is trying to find out where
| he is at"
These are all small matters, but they are
matters in which everybody in the city is
interested. 1t is to be hoped that the al
dermen will give them their attention.

A Shattered IdoI.

They tell this story of Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, when he first entered the
House of Representatives: A dear, moth
erly old woman from Massachusetts wan
dered into the visitors gallery one day
and asked a well-dressed young man to
point out the Bay States 'favorite
SON" Lodge was sitting in his seat near
the center of the floor, his hands in his
pockets and watching the Speaker the
while. Lovingly the old woman gazed
for a time, but later the hero-worship-
full expression on her face underwent a
change.
Perhaps I'm wrong, my young friend"
she ventured a last, "but are you sure
that's Mr.. Lodge?"
Yes, madam"
But it can't be true. That man has
cigar in his mouth"
Yes, madam"
"And right on the floor of the House?''
YES, madam; he always has a cigar in
his mouth"
"Well. ! never, I don't like it a bit!
snail never allow James to vote for him
again. Not if 1 can help it, and I think
l cam"
Then she went out of the gallery with
the air of one whose choicest idol had
been shattered.

The Lewiston Journal
Somebody's umbrella fell to the floor with
a soaked crash
"A wet umbrella tells its own tale" said
Lew Keyes. 1t doesn't pay to buy cheap
umbrellas. l remember one day Tom Ira
cy went out and bought an umbrella for a
dollar. lie brought il in and l borrowed it
to so down 10 Sam 5 for my dinner When
l went into the restaurant Mike King says,
What's the matter with your shirt bos-
om?' looked at il and there was a streak
of black ink running down the front. 1t
came from that umbrella
after dinner / went out and bought a
new shirt for dollar. Then l went back
10 the room and put it on. 1 gave the
umbrella to Tom, saying, I don't like it,
aud he demanded what was the matter 1t
cost me 1O0 cents to walk. under il 10
Sans, I said, and 1 don't care for any
more of it.
He took it to the bathtub and began TO
squeeze the water out of il, something as
you'd wiring clothes. Suddenly it broke off
short at The handle. Too bad says Tom
Is it worth fixing? I told him no. but he
thought it was. and so he went down to
Tom Cartland's and told him to repair the
handle. That night Cartland's errand boy
brought il up with a new handle and a bill
for 10 cents. Tracy paid the bill and set
the umbrella up in the one corner by the
door. The black ink ran off and spoiled a
50 rug, and in an hour somebody dropped
in, and out with the umbrella Then Tom
and l sat down and scored up on the back
of shaving box, and we found out the
umbrella had cost us SIS, that day-and
We got out of 1t cheap too"
