eral COrbin has made public the number
of additional regiments, battalions,
companies or batteries required from
each state under the second call of the

regulations adopted Col Little today
caused all the headquarter tents to be
renovated and moved, the flooring ta-
ken up and every precaution taken to
insure the health of his men.
1t is a fact that no regiment in Camp
Richmond has shown such a persistent
effort towards healthful sanitary meas
ureS as the Kansas regiment, it is
hobby of Col. Little's.
If the Topeka people could have been
out at Camp Richmond this Sunday
evening there would have been no hes
itancy about at once raising and dis
patching the S125 asked as that city's
share towards paying for the band in
StrumentS.
The day had perhaps been the most
perfect of any that has hung over the
camp. Such q. one as only comes once
in Summer-a rare June day indeed
Just at the time between sunset and
darkness when all nature SlumberS and
nothing moves but the lengthening
shadows a, white puff of smoke arose
away across in the west and the boom
of the evening gun echoed back and
forth among the surrounding hills.
Instantly following it an intense still
ness fell over the camp and the thOuS-
ands of spectators along the lines. Out
from their quarters and up the regimen
tai street to the center of the camp
passed the band and trumpeters in per-
feet step to the rat-a-tat-tat of the
drum. In anticipation of the event ev-
cry company was drawn up on their
regimental row sturdily erect with
SEOuuQeQ dTIIlS, anu III TIE increasing
silence that fell over the multitude one
thought less of grim war and more of
peaceful natures work.
Suddenly, so solemnly sweet, like a
choir led by an invisible singer. floated
aloft in the air the clear mellow bugla
notes now low and soft anon loud and
clear.
Its echoes had scarce died away when
in harmonious strains the band breaks
forth in ''Oh. Say, Can You See," and
as the paeans rang out, as if by con-
certed movement, arose a mighty shout
from the assembled soldiers which for
a moment drowned the music. Follow
ing the incident came an interval of 81
lence when every captain addressing
the front announced in ringing tones:
'All present sir, or accounted for in
apid succession.
1t was a perfect evening retreat
service and as the band moved away
to take further part in the beautiful
scene of guard mount, playing Nearer
My God to Thee" it caused a mystic
rious emotion to stir around each heart
Such a scene and an audience so in
touch with the spirit of the affair comes |
but seldom in life time.

ONLY MAUsER BULLETS.
Story of Mutilation by spaniards is
Exploded.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 1S-Newspaper
correspondents arriving here say that the
story of the mutilation of the bodies of
the two young privates of Captain Spicer's
company of marines, which was sent in
Saturday last, is now found to be entire
ly untrue. The officers and men of the
party were misled by the frightful tear
ing effects of the Mauser bullets when de-
Elected by anything like brushwood or
from close range.
The men apparently had been fired on by
guerrillas at a distance of Is feet. One
body had eight bullet wounds, causing
dreadful havoc. Surgeon Edgar states
positively that the wounds were due to
bullets only.
Lieutenant Ingate took out a party to
try to get the body of Sergeant Smith.
The party was composed of u marines
and 10 Cqbans. The body of Sergeant
Smith had been lying within the enemys
lines nearly two days, consequently any
mutilation by the Spaniards could easily
have been accomplished. The body. how
ever, was found, Invested only of the rifle
accoutrements. There was no barbarity
whatever.

met the other boys at Washingtons
monument. We entered the elevator
car and went up the 500 feet in one con-
tinUOuS trip. The last 80 feet is cap
stone. We beheld beautiful views in
every direction; the city below US; the
Potomac rolling away to the south
with steamers plying upon it; the mar
row valley of the Potomac; to the east,
the Soldiers home.
Directly on coming down we went to
the white house. The regular Monday
afternoon reception was almost over
but we got in, in time to shake hands
with the president. He asked US where
we were from, told US he was glad to
see us. Of course he was not long in
shaking hands with the entire eight.
We all had our uniforms; light drab
hat, dark blue blouse, light blue pants,
and high brown leggings, but there is
DO button, cross or mark upon us to
tell where we are from.
From the white house we came al
most directly back to camp. We got
a hack to bring US from Falls Church
to camp instead of walking. I should
guess that it is almost fifteen miles
from our part of the camp to Wash
ington. The camp of the army is
stretched over a lot of country.
The regiments nearest to ours which,
I suppose will be brigaded with US,
are the 159th Indiana and a regiment
from Tennessee. The Jersey boys were
our nearest neighbors when we came in
but they have moved away; it is said
in order to be with the rest of their
brigade.
Each regiment has it's own pickets.'

GREAT CROWDS
Continue to See the Passion Play
Showing the People Demand
Entertainment.

The craving in Topeka for outdoor
evening entertainment during the sum
mer was never better evidenced than at
Garfield park last night.
Fifteen hundred people heard the
short concert by Marshalls band and
saw the cinemetograph pictures of the
Passion play. The seating accommoda-
lions of the park were not half suffi-
cient for those who rode out to the
park in the cars, and carriages to the
number of at least 100 formed a solid
circle about the crowd.
The city railway was taxed to its ut
most to take care of the crowd. The
sidewalks leading from the park were
thronged with people who could not
park when the exhibition concluded.
Sunday night last witnessed the same
scenes, showing that there is a special
demand for innocent Sunday night en-
tertainment-
The canvas was so arranged last
night that the pictures could be seen
from either side. A better light was Sc
cured and the pictures were much
brighter and more distinct, making
them wonderfully realistic. 1t was by
far the best exhibition of the pictures
that has been given at the park
But the people composing the crowd
did not go to the park altogether be-
cause it was pictures of the Passion
play that were on exhibition They
went there because it was an outdoor
entertainment at a popular price, and
outdoor entertainments at popular pri
ces are what is wanted in Topeka dur
ing the summer.
The people want some place to go to
in the evenings, and MarshalPS band
should take heed of the peoples wishes.
1t would not only be a popular but a
profitable move on the part Of the
band.
A stage should be erected and differ
ent classes of entertainments secured.
Good vaudeville features would prove
attra ctive and good light opera, which
could be put on in the park as effec-
lively as in an opera house, would be
especially attractive. The Passion play
pictures have proven that cinemeto-
graph or vitascope pictures are good
class of entertainment, but the people
should not be OverdoSed with one kind
of entertainment.
The Passion play pictures were put
on at the park through arrangements
made by Mr.. o. 4. Crawford. By his
cooperation with the band vaudeville
and opera entertainments could be
readily secured.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-05-02

They were talking one evening in
Uncle Silas's country store about hard
winds and strong winds.
Speaking of storms" said Abe Will
cox, I've seen the wind blow SO fast
that it blew the town clock back sew
enteen days"
We'll, WE'LL" said Cy Campbell
perhaps you have seen some strong
blows, but when lived up in Montana
my neighbor carelessly opened his door
during storm. Well gentlemen. you
may think I'm liar, but the wind got
right in behind the door and turned
the house completely inside OUT"
And the man. gasped several in
one voice
'Oh, he just sat on the stove, and
the wind carried him fourteen miles
and landed him in the top of a peach
tree. Pretty soon a side of bacon and
q loaf of bread came sailing by. and
gentlemen, I'm darned if he didn't
light a fire and cook his breakfast
right up in that tree"
The clock in it's excitement struck
thirteen, and the tomatoes turned pale.
That was quite windy" drawled
Uncle Silas, chief village liar, as he
carefully emptied his pipe into the SUI
gar barrel, that was quite windy, but
out in Nevada a friend of mine started
to leave his house while the wind was
blowing rocks as big as pumpkins
around the town. Now, | don't ex-
pect you to believe this, but before he
reached the bottom of the stairs there
wasn't a stitch of clothing left on his
back! tSensation,) Yes, sir; and then
the wind blew him up against wall
and fiattened him out as thin as a wa
fer. Next day his wife came and pried
aim off with shovel and
What did she do with him?" asked
Abner Johnson
What did she do with him? Why.
she just busted him off and used him

slowly filed out of the door each man
;huddered as he eyed the hoary headed

Rohhine American Authors.

The Bookman charges the English
publishers with a suppression of truth
in the case of meritorious works by
American authors. Here is the charge,
the evidence in support of it and the
Bookman's comments: "The English
have a pleasant little way, whenever
they reprint an American book, of re-
moving from its title page all possible
indications of its source. We said
something about this two years ago,
and several English publishers at once
took umbrage at our remarks, and the
ubiquitous Mr.. Andrew Lang rushed
into print to defend his employers. But
here are two recent instances of how
the thing works: \ new edition of the
I.atin-French dictionary of Quicherat
has just appeared, and in it the Latin
dictionary of Lewis & Short, which
is purely American publication, is
credited to two English scholars This
is because the Clarendon Press. which
reprinted the book after Oxford had
adopted it as standard, let it go forth
as purely British publication. Much
the same thing happened in the case
Of Capt. Mahan's works last summer.
The English published it, suppressiug
the fact that its author was an officer
of the United States navy. Consequent
ly the Temps, of Paris, spoke of Capt.
Mahan as an English naval officer, and
Lieut.. Fitch, the American naval at
tache at the embassy in Paris, had to
write a letter to the Temps in order o
make it correct this false ascription.
As we said about two years ago, this
sort of thing is neither just nor even
honest, and we hope that American au-
thors whose books find favor in English
eyes will insist upon appearing as
Americans, and thus gain for their
country a credit which the English in
variably begrudge it,"
