Rough Riders Spiritual Adviser to
he a Regular.
The Presidents high appreciation of
that aggregation of American fighters
known as Roosevelts Rough Riders, was
illustrated at the White House yesterday
afternoon in a most practical and expedi-
tious manner.
Among those who were sitting in the
reception room waiting to have "a few
words with the President" was a tall
sun-browned young man, in the uniform
of volunteer officer. On the collar of
his coat was a silver cross. indicating
that the wearer was a chaplain.
The waiting soldier was Rev. Henry A.
Brown, chaplain of the Rough Riders,
and he had been patiently sitting in the
reception room foE nearly two hours
awaiting Mr.. McKtaleys leisure. He had
been informed thaf the President was
engaged with his Cabinet and Chaplain
Brown therefore decided to camp in the
waiting room,'' as. he expressed it, until
the Executive had concluded his more
important business. u
Finally Chaplain 4 Brown spied Col.
Montgomery. and apprpaching him, an
nounced his name and rank and asked to
be informed abouts.whfn Mr.. Mckinley
would be at leisure. The colonel, with
the chaplains cardSin His hand, entered
the Presidents rooul "a arrange for an
interview. esyiI
He returned in aEfewSminutes and es-
corted Rev. Brown dnta the President s
presence. About five Iriinutes later the
chaplain of the Rough ,Aaiders, his face
Illuminated with smiles emerged from
the executive chamber, bearing in his
hand a card with the printed legend,
Executive Mansion on its top and the
signature William Mckinley at the
bottom. 1t was addressed TO Adjutant
General Corbin and directed him to ap-
point REV. Henry a. Brown, late chap
lain of the Rough Riders" as a chaplain
in the regular army as soon as a vacancy
occurs.
That was quick work said the min
lister, and / appreciate the Presidents
kindness"
He then quickly left the White House
and proceeded to the War Department to
file the Presidents autograph order with
General Corbin.
II the chaplain of the Rough Riders re-
mains here until Sunday, he will perhaps
occupy the pulpit of one of the Washing
ton churches.

"Teddy'S Terrors, Rev Mr.. Brown sdlu.
They are diamonds in the rough. AS
brave as lions, fearless in the face OF

ed men are made.

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle
of Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santi-
ago de Cuba Were All Heroes
Their Heroic Efforts in Getting
Ammunition and Rations to the
Front Saved the Cay.

P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 8, writ
ing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 49,
saws: I'VE all had diarrhea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed we
had no time to see doctor, for it was
case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammuni-
ton and rations, but, thanks to Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Rem
edy, we were able to keep at work and
keep our health; in fact. / sincerely be-
lieve that at one critical time this medi-
cine was the indirect savior of our ar
my, for if the packers had been una BILE
TO work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that wagon train could
use. My comTade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in supply of this
medicine for our pack train before we left
Tampa, and l know in four cases it alb
solutely saved life.'s G

SELLING WAR HORSES.
Animals Belonging to the Rough
Riders Auctioned on

New York, Sept 2l-Four hundred
bronchos, the mounts of Rough Riders,
charged down 4 lire of horse buyers yes
terday. and the Government is at least
$4,000 richer. The average price was be-
tween SIS and $50 each. They were a
part of the 1,0S7 horses on which the
Rough Riders were to have ridden
through the Cuban ohapparal
Groups of Rough Riders were on hand
at O'Clock in East Twenty-fourth street,
at the establishment OF Fiss, Doerr &
Carroll Company, to whom the Govern
ment had entrusted the task of disposing
of the horses. Some of the soldiers were
there with the idea that they could buy
the horses which they had ridden, and
others went TO see the fun.
Rough Riders are simple folk. There
were several Of them who wished to OBJ
tain their own horses. When the steeds
were offered a yellow sleeve would shoot
up among the mass of black derby hats.
Raise you one;" $50 you five more"
they cried. 1t was enough for the dealers
and the general public TO see the Rough
Ride make a bid. Surely the horses
must be of value The price mounted, un-
Ill IL was s5on above the purse of Roose-
velI's followers.
Bakers. butchers ana Elilkmen crowded
about the narrow lane down which the
horses were put through their PAGES. Men
from the West were there who had come
10 buy q carload or so OF horses on specu-
lation. All the up country was repre-
scented. Farmers contractors and riding
academy managers elbowed each other in
the throng. There was a stir when good
horse was sent plunging down the lane.
His number, the same az that on a slip
OF paper pasted on his launches, was
yelled out as his only introduction.
There were young persons hardly TWEEN
ty who bought horses for SI5 or so. They
will be seen in the villages of New York
State and Connecticut before long astride
of horses which had been to the war.
These horses originally cost the Gov
eminent S65 each. In the condition many
OF them We're il was hard to see how any
body could have bought them for such
sum. On ordinary sales days when there
is no romantic interest attached to the
sale and the fact of the selling not so
well known similar horses TO many Of
those sold yesterday would have brought

THEIR WORK FINISHED.
General Greeiy's Farewell to the
Fourteenth Signal Corps Company.

Orders were issued by the War Depart
ment yesterday for the relief from active
duty of the Fourteenth Company of the
Signal Corps. The company will be placed
| on furlough and later mustered out of
service.
Gen. Greely accepted this opportunity to
issue an address to the men whose war
records he is proud of. He said, among
other things:
In the Santiago campaign you were the
| first of the army TO arrive, as you were
the last to leave, destroying within range
of Spanish guns the submarine cables that
gave the enemy daily information of in
| estimable value. When the occupation of
Santiago was ordered you repaired cables
with such celebrity that you opened COM
munications between the United States
marine camp at Caimanera (GuantanamO)
| and New York city on June q, the day
| prior to the landing of the Fifth Army
Corps off Santiago. Battles may be fought
and epidemics spread. but speedy commu-
4 nications must nevertheless be maintain
ed, and owing to your efforts the Ameri-
can army in Cuba has not been isolated
Geographically a single day.
"In the Cuban campaign you arranged.
| maintained, and operated a system of
| cable and land lines-partly COM
mercial, partly war cables, partly flying
| telegraph lines and partly telephone
| lines-that enabled messages to pass in
twenty minutes from the Executive Man
| sion in Washington to the headquarters
| of the army before Santiago, and which
| offered the direct and immediate COM
| munication between the Secretary of War
| in his office and the signal corps men in
/ the rifle pits on the right, the left, and in
! the center of our intrenched army within
| 40 yards of the enemy. When the Gle
| fell our lines followed Immediately Amer
can headquarters as it moved therein.
mo one will ever know the difficulties
| physical and moral, climatic and service
/ under which you labored in Cuba Heat
and thirst, hunger and fatigue. these
| present sufferings with impending disease
| and death, you endured and faced un-
complainingly with the rest of the army,
but these conditions never prevented the
prompt. cheerful, and efficient discharge
of the important duties devolving unre-
mittingly day and night on the signal
| corps.
| In Porto Rico you were ever with the
| advance, participating as scouts and
| skirmishers in the capture and occupa-
/ ton of towns. From the beginning to the
end of the campaign you kept each i'm
| portant command in telegraphic or te!e-
| phonic communication with the corps
| commanders and also with the base of
operations.
I'm the Philippines you were always to
the front, and throughout siege opera
tions constructed and maintained tele-
| graphic and telephone lines in the advance
| trenches at Manila, remaining with the
rest of the army under fire daily under
| conditions so dangerous that five officers
| were brevetted and several men recon-
mended for medals of honor
Less exciting, but scarcely second in
importance, were your duties at the great
| camps of the country.

ROUGH RIDERS AWAKE ECHOES
Consternntion Caused by Parting
Presidential Salute.

A loud report, like the discharge of
howitzer. followed by a series of pierc-
ing yells, filled the White House with
fving echoes about 9:l5 clock last night,
and aroused President Mckinley from
his reveries about war investigations,
fractious Filipinos and other kindred
subjects.
The loud report and yells came from
the sidewalk on Pennsylvania Avenue,
directly in front of the Executive Man
sioin, and they We're followed by the

Colonel Blacks Commission

Lieut.. Col. w. NJ. Black visited Gen.
Miles at the War Department yesterday.
Lieut.. Col. Black before the war began
was the Engineer Commissioner of the
District. He was relieved from this duty
and assigned to duty as chief engineer
under Gen. Miles,
The impression prevails at the War De-
partment that Lieut.. Col Black will not
for the present be relieved from active
war duty, and that it may be a long time
before he returns to the District Build
ing. The acting Engineer Commissioner
at present is Capt. L. H. Beach, and the
President has been petitioned to retain
him in the commission. Until the Presi-
dent decides what action he will take
relative to the position, there will be no
change in the office of Engineer Commits
sioner.

HIDFoUs AND UNIQUE RELIC.
A War Memento Placed in the Pos
tai Museum.

Postmaster General Smith yesterday
received unique war relic from Post
master Kemper, now in charge of the
postal affairs at Santiago. The memento
consisted of a gargoyle taken from the
top of the Spanish postoffice building at
the famous Cuban city.
The gargoyle is in the shape of flat
piece of lead moulded in the shape of a
huge face, with big, round, staring eyes,
large protuberant nose, and widely
open mouth, with a full set of vicious
looking upper teeth, closing down upon a
thick lower lip. The memento was taken
from the head of the main water spout
at the roof of the postofice building.
The object was used as a guidon to
water collecting on the roof from the
rains, and it's huge mouth served as an
aperture to train the water to the main
water spouts. 1t is about one and one
half feet in height, a foot wide, two or
three inches thick, and weighs at least
twenty-five pounds 1t will be placed ip
the postal museum at the department.

The Use OF tho Bones In Oonhned to

The recent advertisements in a Jew

with an invitation to write for prices
and samples. led to an inquiry. Though
the notice appears among others
which advertise. precious stones, and
might lead one to believe that the
masticators could be turned to pur-
poses of personal establishment, it is
nevertheless true that they are worn
10 very limited degree, says the New
York Times. ........
Taxidermists say that the "teeth"
are not teeth at all, in the common
sense. They lie clear and clean of any
tooth in the elk's head. They are in
either side of the upper jaw. two inches
from the front of the mouth. Imme-
diately beneath the tooth" is a tooth
less hollow. The part of the "tooth"
below the gum bulges blunt and round,
and is similar in shape to some of the
wooden golf sticks.
The taxidermists say they do not
know what use these organs are to
their original possessors. In trade
they bring a fair price. because they
are used as the insignia Of the Order
OF Elks. The Anne rican Indians use the

form of wearing apparel or necklaces.
