l0s OF
Roral Arcanum Asses. nsnt,.

The new scale OF assessment of the
Royal Arcanum is to take effect on Au-
gust SIst- 1t is based on an apportion-
ment of eighteen assessments on the old
scale, but is divided into twelve payments
and will be paid monthly. By this ar
rangement the payments will always be
due at regular time.
II was decided by the Supreme Council
to establish an emergency fund, TO be Sc
curely invested, the income 10 be used to
meet the mortality from old age, without
requiring extra assessments.
Another reason for the change was that
the war risk had to be met and the men,
bership had this to pay as the price of pa
triotism, as the Royal Arcanum is carry
ing all the soldiers who hold policies
and has already paid the claims of men
killed in the war. One assessment was
provided for this risk and the two for the
emergency fund. make the assessments
number twenty-one according to the
present scale.
II has been decided 10 abolish the bene-
fit certificate fee. while the interest on
bank balances of the Widows and Or
phans' Benefit Fnnd, heretofore used in
the general fund, will be applied to and
become part of that fund.

CoUNCILMAs
From Camp Thomas.

EDITOR HERALD
Company l seems doomed to disap-
pointment The prospects of facing the
enemy are daily growing less encourag
ing. The thought of returning home
without our having smelled gunpowder
is not at all pleasing to the volunteers
here in camp. Bot whatever the future
we did not wish TO see active service.
An order 20 break camp to go to
either Porto Rico or the Philippines
would be received with great enthusiasm.
The monotony of camp life, without any
prospects of a change, is causing many
of the boys TO lose their enthusiasm.
One of two things must soon happen. II
the peace negotiations are unsuccessful
we are likely to see all the service we are
looking for. while on the other hand If
peace is declared. we will soon be back
Amongst the hills o. Somerset"
1t is not the soldiers duty ''to reason
Why" but to do as he is ordered, so II we
are mustered out of the service it will be
no fault of ours.
There have been no changes of any i'm
portance in our camp life since my last
letter. There have been details Of nine
men from each company to prepare new
camp grounds for the Fifth and by the
time you receive this we will be located
in a more healthful position than we are
at present.
Colonel Burehfeld has received orders
from division headquarters requiring
that all the men of his regiment shall use
only boiled water for drinking purposes.
Last Sunday we had regimental inspee-
tiOn. when we marched with our entire
equipment to the drill grounds. After a
review of the regiment in companies by
the Colonel. that officer inspected person.

inspection the muster roll was called, and
on Monday we signed the pay roll. but
for some reason we have not yet received
our first months pay.

appearance. However, the "Bill Pritts''
style is all the go, and most of US look as

district back of Trent.
James Sechler. who had been in .he

they have settled down to their fate aud

Fifth Regiment Not Likely to See Active
Service.
A special from Washington TO the
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette on Mon
day says:
Captain Z. E. Robbins, quartermaster
on the staff Of Brighten. Wiley, who
has been here several days. will leave to-
morrow morning for Camp Thomas to
resume his duties. Captain Robbins
saw the President again yesterday and
made another effort to have tn Fifth
Regiment Pennsylvania volunteers in
eiaded in the reinforcements for Porto
Rico, but was unsuccessful. As il is.
General Wiley and his staff win be the
only Pennsylvanians in the reinforce
ments, and it is even probable that they
will never leave these shores.
With peace so near at hand Il is argued
that General Miles viii already have
enough troops to garrison Porto Rico.
and it would be useless TO forward the
reinforcements. Thus the Tenth and
SixteeRth regiments will be the only
Penn'a regiments to see service at the
front aud carry ,f honors- This is con-
ceded to be rather hard for State that
furnished two general officers and 1900
men.
The splendid record being made by the
Sixteenth regiment in the Porto Rico
campaign is generally commented on
and the prediction is freely made that
Col. Hulings has earned his star and will
return as brigadier- general.

War an Exnansirs Gain.

Spain will pay the cost Of the war either
in territory or cash, and state department
officials are looking up preeedents. They
have found that the heaviest indemnify
on record, 81, ,OOO, 600, O00and two provinces.
was paid by France 20 Gsrmlny in 1870.
Turkey was Obliged to pay Russia S722.-
700 for an eight-mOnths' war. China
gave japan si59.00o.0O0. and the island OF
Formosa- In 1896 Austria paid Germany
$30,0OO.00O and ceded some choice real
estate.
Mexico gave the United States territory
appraised at slOO, 900 and received Sl5.-
100000 in change.
In all those eases the victor was just
about reimbursed. Turkey was only per
mitted to take $40. 600. 900 from Greece, one
quarter the cost price of the contest. This
war with Spain is costing at the rate Of
S50O, 100000 per year.

Dewey's victory proved very profitable
TO at least one man in the Alaska gold
fields. By a special effort he was the
first TO reach Dawson City with the news,
having with him San Francisco paper
containing as fall an account of the bat

rival he announced that there had been a
great battle fought, and advertised that
the news would be read in the Monte

ing. and the biggest in the camp. mad
mittance fee of = 80 was charged, and.
as the hail was packed with an audience

planned that he did not receive his mon

Great sIaughtsr of Rat,ls.naE.,.

A correspondent writing from Addison
says: Quite an excitement prevailed in
this vicinity yesterday and to-day over
the results of AFRAID on what is popularity
called, around here. Snake Den. This
so called 'denn is edge Of rocks in the
Allegheny mountains about two miles
east OF here which rises from fifty to two
hundred feet in height, and presents
very wild and rugged appearance, well
calculated to encourage the popular no.
ton that it is great rendezvous for
rattlesnakes.
During the past few weeks these snakes
have become very troublesome, and from
the numbers seen and the frequency of
their appearance, it became apparent that
there was an extraordinarily large
number of rattlers in the neighbOrhood.
As rule these snakes harbor themselves
in the den in the wintertime, while in the
summer they scatter over the country,
living in the woods; but the long con-
tinued rainy weather of the present sea
son seems to have driven them in large
numbers to the vicinity of their winter
home.
The people nearest them became very
much concerned about the matter until
finally body of citizens organized yester-
day aud made a raid on the den. After ar
irving at the place they were not long in
locating snakes by the dozens and from
the stories OF the battle they must have
had quite a warm time for a while. After
being out only few ho1rs they counted
and found they had killed about seventy
snakes measuring from above four feet
down, and large number Of little ones.
The large snakes averaged nine and ten
rattles each.
Only a few weeks previous 10 this some
parties visiting the place ran unexpeet-
edly upon 4 nest Of rattlers and killed
eighteen before stopping. The residents
of the southern part OF Somerset county
are hoping that the immense slaughter
just perpetrated will effectnally prevent
the rattlesnakes from becoming a serious
nuisance in the community.

Interesting Facts About the Keystone State.
The report of the secretary of Internal
affairs has arrived. and glance over its
pages shows that Pennsylvania is a state
OF considerable pretensions. One Of the
first things to greet the eyes is a statement
that the valuation of real estate alone in
the commonwealth reaches the magnifi-
cent total of s2,sl4. .5i5.s27. The money
at interest in Pennsylvania amounts 10
sg75, IA, 600, or at least that is the amount
confessed to the assessors. for no doubt
exists'that considerable is not reported.
The debt owed by the various counties is
no small sum either, being S65. .g75, ,0Oo To
carry on the county government annually
costs, for the whole state, above 81 .0O0. 600.
The man who is familiar with the. roads
of Pennsylvania would be surprised 10
know that an annual outlay of nearly $40. :
000.00O is required TO keep them In their
Infamous condition. but that is what goes
for that purpose. not including the ex-
penditares by cities for paving aud max
