Sons Of Veterans
The w. s. Rosecrans camp, Sons of Vet
Grams, has caught the war fever in virulent
form. Though they represent (by descenG
all ranks, from brigadier-general down,
in their overfiowing patriotism they have
magnanimously decided to lay aside their
just claims to precedence, and have offered
Uncle Sam their services as plain, ordinary
privates. In short, the aforesaid camp
has placed itself at ,the disposal of the
war department.
In furtherance of their organization and
to make final preparations for serious busi-
ness, it is highly important that all the
members of the camp meet this Friday)
evening in Little Music hall at 7:3O o'clock
sharp.

present was that many were not killed in
some manner for the freight cars and
fiat cars began to move without warning
of whistle or lantern, when hundreds of
men and boys were sitting on the bump
ers, the wheels and hanging to ladders and
anything else available. Many were
thrown to the ground forcibly and
scratched about the face and hands, but
none were reported badly hurt.
Farewells were waved by the men in the
cars and by the crowd, that seemed now
to be larger than earlier in the night, and
greetings and cheering words were sound
ed until the train was far in the distance
and completely out of sight. Then follow
ed cheers for America and cheers for Cuba
and anthems for Spain and Spanish SYM
pathizers.
The rush for seats in the street cars when
1t was all over was something tremen-
dous. Humanity was hanging on every
where, and there were not cars enough fir
half the crowd.
A Quartermaster Talks
Quartermaster Leon Roudiez was wan
and worn by his work on the trip, but was
the most gallant and attentive officer of
the many, though they, one and all, gave
him good race for first place.
This trip is no joke" he said, in telling
of the journey. "When we started from
Oakland I found that the mules were on
one section, the fodder on the other and
the teamsters on third. One section had
all of the provisions and the others none.
This had all to be Strengthened out, and

"But so far the journey has been like a
triumphal progress. All around the de-
pots at every station there were crowds
to welcome us, and we have had flowers
enough to furnish a floral day for one of
your Fiestas, and fruit sufficient to give
every man on the train cholera morbus
1t all shows what the people think of us,
and we are as proud as lot of Punches.
Tomorrow you will see all the girls

quets to give away or oranges; they are
too precious, but hard-tack we have, and
we are willing to give one to any and
every pretty girl who cheers US.
I'VE met great warrior at Mojave, who
stirred up the spirits Of the boys. Jim
Corbett met our train there, and the men
insisted on his coming out of his car and
making a speech. He told them to get in
and clear out the Spaniards, and though
they did not need any such advice, it was
the kind of talk they wanted, and they
cheered him as he never has been cheered
before He said he would come along If
he was wanted, and guaranteed If he
could get Weyler inside OF twenty -four

was surprising.
While this was going on Secretary Wig

men bringing in boxes of fruit and bas-
kets of flowers. The officers could
scarcely express their thanks for this in
words.
When the yardmen began to prepare the
trains for departure, scenes were enacted
that were sad, but showed the extent Of
the sympathy of the people for the army,
and that they recognize to what danger
soldiers are exposed to on the battlefield.
Sentimental women shook hands with the
men with tears in their eyes, and with
such sympathetic mien as to lead one to
believe that they imagined that these men
were Immediately going to their graves.

WILL in all probability, be direct to Cuba.
The crowd that greeted the soldiers upon

remarkable, when it is considered that the

dent; Mrs. Drake, vice presidents at large;

wagons and camp wagons. The train
was in charge of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Douglass and thirty-five men.
Five minutes later the officers car and a
train load of regulars arrived and were
put on track adjoining the other train.
And at 1910 the third and last division
got in containing none but regulars. In
the three divisions there were together 525
men, under command of Col. e. Miles.
The other officers were Lieut.-Col. Bisbee,
Adj Benjamin., Quartermaster Roudiez:
Capts. Parker, O'Connell, Petit, Star,
Phister, Brant; Lieuts. Bodges and Fer
ris. The hospital department was repre-
sented by Capt. Goady, number of stew
ards and ten privates of the hospital corps
from Fort Mason, San Francisco.
Received With Cheers
Cheer upon cheer went up from the assem-
bled multitude as the train pulled in, and
the yelling did not stop until the officers
appeared upon the platform and the regu-
lars waved their hands from the windows.
And then there was more cheering and hur-
rahing.
Everyone was in the best of humor and
delig hted with the trip and the receptions
rendered them along the line, all of which
were in the nature of ovations. Fruits and
flowers were given them at every hamlet,
town and city that they stopped in and the
officers car was one mass of beautiful
roses.
The train was first expected to arrive
about o'clock, and when it was not heard
from then it was given out that 1t would
be an hour or two late. The crowd started
coming early and remained late, with it's
ardor undimnished by frequent disap-
pointments. They were just as happy at
midnight as they could possibly have been
at any other hour.
The section stopped in Mojave three and
one-half hours, during which time the SOL
diers and officers strolled about town and
accepted the invitation of the mayor of
that town to be their guests. A band was
at the depot to escort them to the heart of
the city and to otherwise entertain them
Meanwhile the animals were being taken
from the car for a jaunt and then watered,
fed and groomed.
The crowd assembled at River station
was apparently more enthusiastic than on
the night before, and orders to keep them
from the trains were stricter also, and not
a soul was allowed to pass over platform.
1t was admiration from a distance all
through.
A Serenade and Some Fruit
When the train had been at the depot for
about a quarter of an hour the First Regi-
ment band alighted and serenaded those
present. None but military and popular
airs were played, and as the strains of a IA
milar song were waited to the light breeze
and caught upon the ears Of the throng a
mingled yell and scream went up that could
have been heard for blocks around. And
number after number they played, the
at each conclusion of a selection yelling
itself hoarse for more. The band consists
of twenty-five pieces and rendered music

Hot Bread at Afternoon Teas

Fashionable women have this season
discovered how to obviate the necessity
of taking too much tea and yet to preserve
the aspect of sociability as they make the
rounds of the o'clock affairs. This is by
taking plain hot water, favored with lit
tie of the lemon or cordial that is an in
variable accompaniment to the fashiona-
BILE tea service. There has been decided
tendency to vary the usual waters by
some sort of fresh warm bread. At some
houses delightful Sally Lunn is handed
around, and miniature tea biscuits, too
hot, and to be eaten with butter, have been
often seen. Small fresh round sponge
cakes, often the work of the hostess her
self, are offered at some studio afternoons
and there Is a universal suppression Of
sandwiches. These are no longer deemed
necessary or even desirable.-New York

Those in line bore American flags and

The following summary of the annual
report of Col. G. V. r. Pond, assistant ad
jutant general of the Michigan G. A. r.
will be of interest to every veteran:
There are $40 posts in good standing in
the department, with 1926 members; six
posts with a membership of 116 failed to
report; 2,9S4 members are on suspended
list, being reduction of over 700 from the
previous year; eight posts have been organ
lied; six posts have been disbanded; GAO
new members have been mustered; I'll
members have been reinstated 100 have
been honorably discharged; 3Ss have died.
Had the six posts delinquent gotten in
their reports In time for this report, the
showing would have been that the loss by
death was partly overcome by gains. This
is remarkable showing, and very crafty
ing to the colonel, who has been earnest in
his efforts to keep the losses confined to
those by death; $50, 442.6S has been paid
into the various post funds; $l9,990.99 has
been expended for relief and general ex-
penses; $11. 1928 90 is the cash balance in

aud Mrs. II. S. Hadsall, with whom he had
made his home for several years after his
wife died. Since coming to this city the

quaintances; however, those who knew him
esteemed his friendship highly.

afternoon at the house by Rev. John Sweet
and the remains were taken to Vassar for
burial.
