Coming In.

Thursday was disagreeable day in
camp, and not much was done in the
way of hard work The examinations
of the members of the various compan-
les was continued and that work was
completed in the afternoon by Surgeon
Wyeth. The result was indeed graft
flying, as out of total of about $50
men examined, but forty-nine failed to
qualify, and nearly every one of those
was rejected owing to defective vision.
The examinations have been com
pleted, work of equipping the men will
be started at once. Many of the re-
cruits lack uniforms and arms, but it is
hoped to supply them soon, Captain
Pratt of Company NJ was in camp. ar
ranging for the quartering and sub
slstence of his command. Several
tents were pitched for Company NJ,
and the men will at once Begin the
military maneuvers.
More than one hundred recruits
swelled the ranks of camp to-day.
Nearly all of them came from Whining
ton, although twenty were from
Newark.
A detail of officers and men left this
afternoon to recruit men at the armor-
les of their companies. About 400 men
are needed to bring the First Regi-
ment up to its quota.
The members of each company in
camp have determined that the silver
trophy offered by c. F. Rudolph of
Wilmington, will be won by their COM

The trophy will be on exhibition at

SlOO REWARD S1OO.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the disease, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case they
fail to cure. Send for list of testimon-

BUSINESS BARS THE DRUNKARD.
Society Is Also Turning its Back on Those
Who Drink to Excess.

Drunkenness to-day is deemed dis
reputable in the very quarters where
only a little while ago it was looked
upon as a misfortune" writes Edward
W. Box, in the May Ladies' Home
Journal. every line of business
shuts its doors absolutely to the drunk
ard. It has no use for him. Business
competition has become so keen that
only the men of steadiest habits can
find employment. This fact the ha-
bitual indulger in alcoholics has found
out, and the different cure establish
ments for drunkenness-and Godsends
they are, too, to humanity-are to-day
filled with men who have come to re-
alization of the changed conditions.
The man of steady habits is the man of
the hour, and the drunkard realizes
this. In the social world the same
thing is true. The excessive indul-
gence of even a few years ago would
not be tolerated at any dinner to-day.
Society has become intolerant of the
behavior which inevitably results from
much indulgence in drinking, and men
realize this. 1t is bad manners to-day
to drink to excess. Good taste is
spreading, and moderation is necessar.

WAR TIME MARKETS.

Although the country has passed
from peace to war with scarcely a sug-
gestlon of commercial tremor of ap-
prehension, the influence of the war
feeling and of changed condition of
demand and supply upon the markets,
has already been clearly indicated.
The Governments large orders for
army supplies have stimulated many
branches of trade which had been Ian
gushing. Makers and distributors of
cloth for uniforms, of canvass for tents,
of canned meats, fruits and vegetables
and of other articles needed by an
army in the field, find their producing
capacity Overtaxed by the sudden de-
mand for present and prospective sup
plies. The staple cereals, sugar, cof-
fee, tea and fresh meats have naturally
advanced in price in sympathy with the
upward Impulse of the market for man
ufactured goods. According to the
commercial statisticians the range of
general prices shows an increase along
the line of from 10 to 90 per cent. in
the market value of many commodities
of general use and consumption.
Havana tobacco, of which the stock
on hand in this country is estimated at
not more than $50, 900 bales, will be
likely soon to command high prices,
whether mOnOpolized by a syndicate
or not. The oils and other products
of Spain will naturally be held at exor-
bitant figures. In addition, there is to
be considered the necessary advance
in the cost of articles taxed by the Gov
ernment under the war revenue bill,
most of which, however, are not in
cluded in the necessaries of life.

The owner of the Holland submarine
boat offers to sell his craft to the Gov
ernment for $175,OOO. AS an induce
ment for the consideration of his offer
he proposes to go to Key West, join
Admiral SIMPSONS squardon, and with
his own crew enter the harbor of Ha-
vana by night and throw dynamite
bomb into MORO Castle, if the Govern
ment will guarantee to purchase the
vessel at the conclusion of the per-
formance. 1t is said that the objec-
ton to this programme is the desire Of
the authorities to delay vigorous hos
tilities in the hope that the Spaniards
would evacuate Cuba after proper
display of force without bloodshed.-

1t is an enormous job to collect an

sive as these United States. Nothing

transportation which is in force in our
American railroad management as the
hurrying from remote sections of the
land, the soldiers of the United States
to designated points of mobilization,
with expedition and without the least
interruption to the general business of
the lines over which the troops are
carried. The ability to move great
bodies of armed men, with all the ac-
cessOries that must accompany the m,
is an assurance that in the matter of

excelled by any nation on the earth,

Mr.. J ohm Peterson, of Patoutville,

long ago. For eighteen months he
had been troubled with dysentery and
had tried three of the best doctors in
New Orleans, besides half dozen or
more patent medicines, but received
very little relief. Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Remedy, having
been recommended to him, he gave it
trial and to his great surprise, three
doses of that remedy effected perma-
nent cure. Mr.. Mn. Mcnamara, a
well known merchant of the same

erson and attests to the truth of this
statement: This remedy is for sale by

Cotton dresses for street wear. are
preferably of pique or linen and some
stylish examples in the first named
material, are in very dark colors and
show narrow stripes, though others are
palmer. Plain tan or wood shades are
likewise fashionable and some distin-
guished dresses are in white or show
white skirts and colored Jackets, a
striking gown being completed by a
bright and pique jacket Very broad
collars are a feature in these jackets,
the one in question having a collar of
Hamburg insertion with wide rufile
that reaches to the shoulders and
others have broad collars, fancifully
shaped in scallops. Quite elegant
pique dresses are in pink or blue with
all over facery of narrow white braid
or again the designs simulate rich
clusters of fruit and flowers that are
placed more sparingly. White braid
in medium width and run on in rows,
is however the usual finish. Linen
dresses are in natural color or white
and in cut or garniture display ideas
similar to those that obtain in pique
and are preferred by some persons, be-
cause lighter weight and more easily
freshened in the laundry. A special
popularity in these new cotton dresses,
is wide circular founce that plain at
the top, gives a flare on the lower edge
and all have short jackets that usually
open over vests.

But the desire for ornamentation pre-
walls over good taste. Lace finished
ruffies are always pretty and this year,
touches of narrow black velvet ribbon
are greatly in order, appearing not
only on lawns or other simple gowns,
but on elaborate evening dresses that
are composed of the sheerest or rich
est fabrics. Ruffles edged or headed
on both, by very narrow black velvet
are often seen and inch wide ribbon,
either silk or velvet set on in scant ruff
fies, is acceptable on almost all classes
of material. Tucks also appear in every
combination: some of the dressiest
evening gowns have corsages of silk
tucked throughout, with long sleeves
to match, mousseline, lace and flowers
being added and a simple lawn dress
