This was done, and the poor dear old

When Things Go Wrong

What's the use of wooing trouble
And of coddling every sorrow?
Though today is black as Egypt,
There's another day tomorrow.
Whistle down each hours distresses-
Sing a song for gloom to borrow;
Mirth and cheer can chase all phantoms-
There's another day tomorrow.

ORDER FOE sIcK soLpIERs.
Government VIII Pay for All Atten-
tion Given the Needy Ones.

ttOn Given the Needy Ones.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2.-Senator Allen,
of Nebraska. was at the War Department
to-day looking after the interests of sick
soldiers of the Second Nebraska. He had
received telegram from Omaha saying
that these soldiers were arriving there with
out provision having been made for their
care. Secretary Alger at once directed that
the adjutant general OF Nebraska take
charge of these sick soldiers and place them
in hospitals, the expense to be borne by the
United States. subsequently a general or
der was issued to the adjutant generals of
different States directing them to take
charge of sick soldiers on the same basis.
The instruction as sent in full by telegraph
to commanding officers of all camps, depart
ments and general hospitals is as follows:
1T having been reported to the War De-
partment that many convalescent soldiers,
who have received f@yloughs and started for
their homes. have been taken i'll on the
way, and to avoid further occurrences of
this kind it is suggested in the strongest
possible terms that all soldiers travelling
homeward on furloughs will exercise their
best judgment In caring for themselves, es-
pecially those who have been i'll in hospitals
with fevers. Their appetites are very keen
and unless they deny themselves everything
except the necessary food of the simplest
character they are in great danger of a re-
lapse. This instruction is sent out hoping
that 1t may catch the eye of those men en-
route, and also for the instruction of sur
geons at hospitals. 1t is ordered that no
men shall receive furlough whom the sur
geon in charge believes to be unable to tray
ell alone, and that no furloughed soldier
shall leave hospital without receiving full
instructions to his diet while en- route to
his home from his surgeon"

HOSPITAL SCANDAL.
Surgeon of Ninth New York Under a
Serious Charge.

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga, Sept. g.
There has been a constant downpour of
rain at Chickamauga Park to-day. Pre-
cautions were taken yesterday afternoon TO
protect the hospital tents against any pos
sible overflow. The wind was very high at
times and many regimental tents were
blown over. All camp exercises were
omitted. General Frank and staff and all
headquarters supplies moved to-day to An
nston, and will be followed tomorrow by
the Fourteenth New York. The four Ohio
battalions will begin leaving Monday and
the Twenty-eighth Indiana Battery will go
Tuesday.
DR.. G. A. Baxter and five other prominent
Chattanoogans, four of them leading ply
sicians, have preferred charges against
Major Hubbard. surgeon general of the
Ninth New York. They charge him with
being responsible for the death of Sergeant
Frank, who was struck BY a train few
days ago. and with conduct unbecoming an
officer and gentleman. The specifications
are that Dr. Hubbard cursed and swcre.
at DR.. Baxter and other Chattanooga
physicians, who had been called to attend
Sergeant Frank of the Ninth New York,
who was recently injured under the wheels
of moving train; that DR.. Hubbard had
removed Frank, who was in a state OF pro-
found shock from his injuries. against the
protest of DR.. Baxter and other physicians,
and that "as a consequence frank died on
his way to the division hospital losing the
only chance he had of recovery by being
Improperly handled"
The charges were filed with General
Breckenridge to-day, and an investigation
and trial will be ordered. General Breckin-
ridge has determined to learn the full
truth about the hospital situation at Camp
Thomas, and has begun vigorous inyesti-
cation. Soldiers who have been in this
hospital and others who have had an in
sight into it's workings are being exam
ined. Discussing the investigation. General
Breckinridge said he intends to have every
point thoroughly aired, and if it is proven
that any person or persons are guilty of
neglect or msmanagement the blame will
be placed upon their shoulders and they
will be punished accordingly.
Twelve patients were released from the
camp hospitals to-day, and four deaths
were reported up to o'clock.

GOVERNORS, OWN FAULT,
Intimates Senator Hanna When Asked
About Sickness in Military Camna.

lntImateS senator Hanna Wnen ASKED
About Sickness in Military Camps.
CLEVELAND. Sept. 2.-Senator NJ A..
Hanna has returned to Cleveland after a
months outing in the Yellowstone Park and
the Northwest In the course of an inter-
view concerning the reported sufferings in
army camps, Mr.. Hanna said: 81 do not
care to place the blame for the conditions
upon any one. will say. however. that the
Governors of the different States appointed
the volunteer officers. and we find that the
illness among the troops comes from the
volunteer ranks. The places for he location
of the camps were selected because of their
availability and the general climatic condi-
tions.
Regular troops have been camped by the
side of the volunteers, and no sickness
amcng them. do not wonder that the
death rate has been high in some instances.
Several times 1 visited Camp Alger and
looked carefully over the place. At the
edge of the camp l found banana stands
and places where beer and pop and such
stuff were sold to the troops. This kind
of stuff never helped the volunteers.
Look at the task which has been per-
formed by the administration At the out
break of the war there was provision for
but twenty-five thousand men. l am ac-
quainted personally with the heads of the
War Department and l am positive they
worked from sixteen to eighteen hours each
day to equip and arm this great army of
between $4,000 and 10000 men. The whole
affair seems marvellous to me and could not
have been accomplished by any other ma
ton in the world The War Department had
a most stupendous task before it and it was
equal to the emergency"
