Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Camp Mckenzie. Augusta. Ga, Dec.
Camp life here is becoming just
shade brighter. More liberal rations
are being received the weather is set
tling somewhat. and those detailswhich
always accompany change of camp
and make the existence Of the enlisted
men at certain times a nuisance and
an unmitigated bore, are now less fire.
quent In addition to this, the SLOW
freight" has actually arrived, bringing
with it the extra clothing, the blankets
and the oil stoves of many of the men,
thereby adding to their comfort.
Muster of all the regiments was held
Wednesday morning. The Thirteenth
was marched out on the grounds at 10
o'clock and was passed i'm review be-
fore Colonel Coursen and the members
Of the staff. The regiment was then
brought uD in column of companies,
and the men were inspected closely by
the colonel Lieutenant Colonel still
well. Major Keller, DR.. Merriman. Chap
lain Stahl and the respective company
commanders. The results Of the in
spection were most satisfactory, and
Colonel Coursen expressed his pleasure
at seeing the men so clean-lOoking and
so healthy and strong in appearance.
Immediately afterward the First bat
talon was mustered by Major Wood,
and the Second by Major Fellows.
The Thirteenth is rapidly reaching its
fun enlisted strength once more, though
there are many of the boys, that be-

Evening
Dress Fabrics

A subject that needs a volume. If YOU
will look it over you will understand why.
A superb collection that enjoys the honor
of two observation-disclosures and best.
These fabrics might aptly be termed
"night-blooming teXtilcs"-a delicate trib-
ute TO their beauty and the fact that they
are for evening wear.
Among all these temptations of pretti-
ness there is little need TO add the per-
suasion of prices. But they are moderate
enough. We are proud to claim that no
other store in this corner of the Common
wealth shows such a well chosen vanity.

Hurting Ourselves.

We cannot hurt our neighbors in the
slightest manner. wiifuily. and escape
a deeper injury ourselves. No feelings.
no doctrines, no practices are good and
true In themselves, which we do not,
in some degree at least, feel to be good
and true. The thought that we cannot
harm another without suffering injury
ourselves should make deep and last
ing impression on our minds. In every
evil act there Is concealed the germ OF
retribution, which viii sooner or later
spring into active life and produce Bit
ter fruit When we have once put evil
forces at work we cannot stop their
progression. The spiritual law of con-
sequence works as surely as any law Of
the natural world. and In some way we
will be hurt. Happy for us If that
hurt is productive of repentance

From the Kansas City Journal: The
Brooklyn bridge is the most notable
engineering feat Of the century. Moth
ing in the world approaches it. The
greatest cantilever bridge is over the
Forth at Queensferry, Scotland. The
finest metal arch bridge is the Wash
ington. over the Harlem at One Hun
bred and Eighty-first street, New
York. The longest metal span is the
bridge of Luiz l.. at Oporto, Portugal,
being $50 feet. Two city streets cross
it at different levels. Next comes the
Garabit viaduct over the Truyere, in
France. with span of 542 feet. 1t is
$40 feet above water. The Pia Maria
bridge over the Douro, spans SIS feet
The st. Louis bridge has three spans
of $40 feet. England has scores Of
splendid bridges, among them the Tow

pension bridge, the bridge across tbs
Tay (Scotiand). that over the Wye. the
stone arch at Chester with span Of
200 feet-twenty feet less than oul

BROKEN MATRIMONIAL PACT.

Connecticut Brother and Sister Who
Bound Themselves to Celibacy.
From the Buffalo Express: An in
teresting case of broken contract has
come to light in New Haven court.
where former Representative Michael
p. Harding of Brantford, Conn. asked
for reduction in the amount of at
tachments which his sister had placed
upon his various properties. Thirty
years ago Mr.. and Miss Harding made
a compact never to marry, but to live
always for each other. In 1896 the
man broke the compact and attach
ments of $4,000 were the result of a
suit for that amount for services at
the rate of $50 month instituted by
the sister. The judge was as kind as
he was wise and reduced the attach
ments TO $1,000.

According to the belief of the Anna
mites this new redeemer has risen
from the dead and is now their pro-
tector in heaven. The name of this
latter-day savior is Ky-Dong. and he
was born in AMMAN. south Of Tonkin.
The good Annamites, however, say
that he was not born at all, but that
he fell straight from heaven. A French
resident was deeply interested In the
young heaven-born boy, and he was
sent to Algiers to be educated at the
Frenchman's expense. To the surprise
of the French the natives fairly wor-

CHAMPION WOMAN SHOT.


Seven who Vigorously Assert That Tlnhs
nxsrksmanship L. UnexceIied.
Several women are claiming the title
OF champion shot, and the question as
TO who 10 really entitled to the cham
pionship appears to be as much in
doubt as the ordinary sporting and
athletic championship. Among the
claimants are Mrs. Emma Rock OF New
York, Mrs. w. p. Shattuck, who was
q prominent figure in the shoot in the
grand American handicap at Elkwood
Park, n. j.; Annie Oakley. the woman
STIR Of Buffalo Bill's" show; Mrs. Cor
nelia Crosby, better known as "Fly
Rod" Miss Title Hunt and Mrs. M. r.
Lindsey. all experts with firearms both
in the field and at the traps and targets.
The Situation is getting slightly mixed,
as the women are not all expert in the
various branches of the sport. Some
are rife shots. others are expert at kill
ing clay pigeons and again some, like
Mrs Shattuck and Mrs. Lindsey, have
shown that they can shoot at and kill
live pigeons. Mrs. Rock has more than
gun contests. She disputes any wo-
mans claim TO the championship un-
I'll her own claim has been disposed of.
ANY woman target or trap shooter who
wishes a match will find Mrs. Rock
ready 10 talk business. she having de-
ciared her willingness to make a match
for from $1,000 to 5000 side, shoot
ing either rife or shotgun. Mrs. Rocks
claim TO the title Is disputed by Miss
Hunt. Major Richard Hunt says that
during the last ten years he has issued
challenges on behalf of Miss Hunt to
Annie Oakley and all other female rife
shots. Miss Hunt has been willing TO
shoot a match for from 500 TO 5000 q
side. She has also offered to shoot
against Buffalo Bill. Pawnee Bill, Cap
tain Bogardus and Ira Payne, and says
she is still willing to shoot against
any man or woman In the world fol
from 500 TO 5000.

Having Faith I'm GOD.

The paths by which the Lord leads
His own are often so dark that one can
scarcely see step in advance. Black
night surrounds the soul on all sides
mo star is visible the way is rough
and dangerous. Then one thinks, like
Job. upon past days and years. when
he wandered in the light Of Gods
countenance, and even In the darkness
had sunhcient light to pursue his way
joyously and securely. But Job had to
pass through the night, and the Lord
brought him through. Jobs God il
also thy God-only commit myself to
Him; keep firm hold of His hand. II
keeps thee. even when thou canst NOS
trace 1t. The Lord Is, yesterday, today,
and to everlasting, the same. As He
was in the days OF my youth. when His
secret was upon my tabernacle, SO Is
He now. when darkness covered my
dwelling. He changes not. He re-
mains love and truth in the night as
well as In the day--in storm even as in
sunshine -Gossner
