COMFORTS OF THE SOLDIERS.
The Treatment They Now Receive Is
Greatly Improved over That
in the Civil War. t@

"Bill," said a soldier from Camp
Alger to his comrade on a street car
in Washington, one day lately, "that
was a mighty mean breakfast we had
in camp this morning. 1t makes me
almost sick to think of it,"
"Yes," said Bill, "it was bad. We've
had roast beef every day this week.
and I am getting mighty tired Of it,"
So the Disconnected volunteers COM
mented on the camp fare, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. The quoted
language is literally true. It goes 20
show that this government may
stretch the limit of the paternal and
yet not give entire satisfaction. Old

treatment of volunteers. c. G. Bell, of

THE FLAG AT SANTIAGO.
A Suddenly Arising DreeEe Made II
Wave vigorously Gen.
Garcin's Wishes.

Rev. DIR. Joseph Krauskopf rabbi of
Temple Keneseth Israel, who returned
TO The city recently from his trip TO
Cuba on relief commission work. said
that one reason for Skaters disagree
ment with Garcia was that the latter
wanted the Cuban flag raised beside the
stars and stripes over Santiago.
Dr. Krauskopf, during his stay in
Cuba, came into personal contact with
Gems. Shafter and Wheeler, Col. Roosc-
welt and other prominent actors in the
war drama. From Gen. Shafter he
learned the true reasons of Garcia's at
titude after the fall of Santiago.
"Gen. Garcia" he says, "when invited
to be present at the entrance of the
victorious army into Santiago, made
two conditions on which his acceptance
of tie invitation depended. One was
that the Cuban flag be raised together
with the American, and the other that
the Spanish officials be superseded.
"Oen. Shafter replied that he had no
authority 20 recognize the symbol Of
the Cuban republic in any way, and
that the supersedure OF the Spanish
officials would be contrary 10 the re
ceived practice in the case of captured
towns. The matter gave rise TO a heat
ed controversy, which ended in Garcia
separating himself from the American
forces and withdrawing into the in
terror The supposition at Americua
headquarters was that he meant 20
withdraw himself from the territory un-
der American control and try his own
luck AZ conquest"
DIR. Krauskopf said that it was re-
markable that on the day the Ameri-
cans entered Santiago, although not a
leaf had stirred OF hardly breath Of
mir was felt during the day, no sooner
was the American flag unfurled than a
strong breeze sprang up and the ma
tional colors waved gloriously in the
wind. amid the frantic cheers Of the
multitude.-Philadelfhia Pr0ss.

A ROBE DE MUTT.
Through the Possession of II n Sol
dier became the PIutOcrat of
His Company.

An amusing story of a soldier boys
ingenuity comes from Camp Alger.
When the national guard of Pennsyl-
vania was called out, one of the Phila-
6elphia troopers, raw recruit, not
knowing just what conditions he would
have to live in in camp, included in his
outfit a nightshirt, says the New York
Mail and Express.
The very first night of his stay at
Mt. Gretna he saw how useless the gar
ment would be, but for the sake of as
sociation, or for some reason or an
other. he held on TO it.
In the hustle and confusion of equip
ping the large army that responded to
President McKinley's call there was
some delay in furnishing clothing to
the boys at Camp Alg0r. Here is where
that nightshirt came in handy.
The soidier'5s blue shirt was pretty
we'll worn out, and his bathing utensils
were considerably the worse for wear.
Adjourning to his tent the other night,
the Pennsylvania got out the hitherto
useless article and with a sharp knife
ripped IL in half.
The upper section Of the robe de
mutt is now doing service as a fancy
fronted negligee shirt. The other Sec
tion has been made into two towels
and the man Is the plutocrat of the
company.

SHE WAS FAsTIDroUs.
A Notorious woman Who Has Her
Picture in Every Rogues' Gall
lery In the Land.

It might be expected naturally that
n woman of mature age whose photo
graph appears in, if it does not adorn,
every rogues' gallery in the United
States, and who has been arrested
more times than she could remember,
would have troubles enough to keep
her busy when under arrest without
bothering about a hair fix but the
lack of it seems to have made Sophie
LYONS. the notorious confidence wom-
an, unusually unhappy on the occasion
of her last arrest, says the New York
Sun. Sophie's swindles run back in the
criminal history of New York for more
than a quarter of q century, and they
make her an undesirable visitor at
places where jewels may be displayed.
She was arrested few days ago as she
was entering Trinity church, and in a
public letter she complains that, al
though Capt. McCluslIy insists upon
reformation for every one, he objects
when she goes to fashionable church.
In this letter Sophie says:
"Now, as my photograph is in every
detective Office of any prominence in
the land, did not see the necessity Of
having It taken again, and ] asked him
Capt. McClusky) to please send out
and have a hair dresser arrange my
hair as the perspiration had made
sad havoc with my crimps."
Although Capt. McCluskey is now
the Beau Brummel of the police force
and as polite man as ever slipped
handouts on a crook. he didnot secure
a hairdresser for Mrs. Lyons, but sent
her upstairs to be photographed in
stead. AS a professional woman OF
pride Mrs. Lyons has a right to notify
the public that, owing to her crimp'
being out Of curl, her last photograph
does not do her justice, and this she
has done.

Army and Navy Surgeons.

In the United States army, things in
regard to relative medical rank are in
on entirely satisfactory condition.
The rank of medical officers from a
second lieutenant up to a brigadier
general is clearly defined, and a doc
tor is treated exactly as are the Off
GERS of the same rank in other parts
of the service. The best of feeling OBJ
tains in our army between the line and
the staff officers; doctors, of course,
always being members of the staff.
This is not so, unfortunately, in our
lazy. We think before the war is over
that things will be very much i'm
proved there, perhaps wholly righted,
and engineers and doctors will have
rank conferred upon them which will
cause them to be treated with the
same respect as are those who are,
strictly speaking, naval officers. Ger
tainly in the navy, even more than in
the army, the doctor shares the dam
gers of the fight fullywith his nominal
iy more warlike comrade or superior,
although he is deprived of the salts
faction of firing back.-Post Graduate.

pickled Penchcs.

Allow four pounds of light brown
sugar one pint Of best cider vinegar,
one teaspoonful Of ground cloves and
four teaspoonfuls Of ground cinnamon
(the latter tied in small cheesecloth
bags) 10 seven pounds of peeled
peaches. When the sirup comes TO a
boil add the peaches and cook slowly
until tender. Use a porcelaia kettle
for pickling when possible. Two-quart
glass jars are best for picking
peaches, and the sirup should entirely
cover the fruit. Some housekeepers
throw away the first sirup in which
they are cooked and make a fresh one
to pour over, but this isunnecessary.-
