The Grand, Army veterans had the
place Of honor on the platform, and as
the men stepped from the cars they
were warmly welcomed.
The local executive committee was
also present to see that the troops re-
celved every possible attention, and
carriages were on hand to receive the
sick. r Fortunately there were very
few OF the latter, robably not to ex~
coed dozen or fifteen. These were
conveyed at once to st. Alexander's
hospital. The four companies were
marched to German park, beautiful
place, and there ordered to stack arms
and await the arrival of the balance
of the regiment,
Within an hour all were on hand
and the march through the city to the
camp was commenced. The route was
through the principal business street,
the buildings on both sides of which
were covered with flags. Notwith-
standing the men were tired as the re-

every one of them join in lusty

were tables enough to accommodate
them all, and loaded down with all

hospitality was the work of New Ulm's
women
With a hundred young ladies to serve
them, the soldiers were unanimous in
pronouncing it noble treatment. AS
the train carrying the stock and camp
equipment did not arrive till O'Clock,
it was quite late in the evening before
the tents were up and the regular camp
regulations enforced.
The camp grounds were highly sat-

VOLUNTEERS DOING WELL.

Army Omcers Pleased With Their
Proeress In OrgG mixing.
Army officers in the War Department
are well pleased with the progress made
during the last month In getting the vol-
unteer army into condition for active
service. Several commanding generals OF
troops mobilized In the South have re-
ported that their men are rapidly reach
ing a stage of perfect organization.
Chickamauga is the principal source Of
complaints now being made. 3. A large
number of troops at that place have not
yet been supplied with rifles. II is under
stood that very often a man doing guard
duty around the camp at Chickamauga
has simply q stick for a weapon. Rifles
are being shipped in large quantities to
supply this deficiency, and 1t is expected
there will be no cause for complaint in
this regard by the end of two weeks.
Volunteer troops feel somewhat sighted
that they have been supplied with the
Springfield rifle instead of the Krag-Jor-
gensen. which all the regulars use. The
Government has not the necessary num-
ber of Krag-Jorgensen rifles to supply
the volunteers. Before the Springfield RI
fies were distributed they were put in
perfect repair.
Boards of officers for the examination

they would not be required to take any

Chicago, June 24.-(Special)-The New
York Athletic Club scored decisively at
the eleventh annual championship meet
ing of the Amateur Athletic Union. held
at the Parkside Grounds yesterday.
The full strength of the West was pitted
against the New Yorkers, but the club
came out Of the ordeal with another
sweeping victory.
The New York team scored in every
event on the program. and in the mile
run all three places were secured by its
athletes. The performances throughout
were of a high order. considering the fact
that stif breeze blew diagonally across
the grounds. That many records were
not broken was probably due to this fact,
but even under the disadvantageous cir
cumstances the existing figures only es-
capped being demolished by very narrow
margin in the broad jump.
In that event the competition was keen
between the most famous quartet of
broad jumpers ever brought together.
Prinstein, who made the worlds record
recently, proved himself the peer of them
all. his winning jump of % feet, inches,
being further than any other American
has covered. Kraenzlein, of the New

of Pennsylvania. was easily the individual
hero of the occasion. Besides scoring
easy victories in both hurdle races, he
made good performances in the jumps

THE HOLIDAY HooDoo.
Critics Who Cloud the Pleasure o
Summer Vacations.

Su1on1er ShCutiohS'
The conventional satirist is having his
feeble annual fling at the wife who goes
Off to the seashore or mountains for the
Summer, leaving the patient and burden
bearing husband behind to work and
swelter in the city.
Pity and scorn alike are wasted on the
Summer husband. A man who is fit to
have a good wife is only too glad when
he can induce her to drop her household
cares. take the children and escape from
the heat and drag and worry of ordinary
life. He knows that she and the little
ones are laying in store of health. and
he hopes they are having a good time.
A decent man whose circumstances do
not permit him to accompany his family
to the country Is made happy in his lone
illness by the thought OF the pleasure and
benefit they are deriving from their vaca-
ton. A selfish fool and envious brute
may find soiace in compelling his wife and
offspring to share his city discomfort, but
to a man of sense and heart the sight OF
others sufferings multiplies instead of di-
viding his own.
The wife of poor man or a struggling
man. has no easy time Of II IL she does
her duty. She has anxieties and tasks to
trouble her, and economies TO practice
that wear upon the nerves. She earns
the Summer vacation, which is not all
joy to her by any means. She has the
children TO look after, the bills TO think
of, and she is separated from the man
who is worth all the world besides in her
loving view.
OF course their are wives that look upon
their husbands simply as providers Of
money for their pleasures-who are eN-
iravagant, vain and heartless, and make
the Summer vacation an excuse for a
period Of freedom, gayety and Irritation.
caring nothing for the poor devil who
drudges in town to supply the funds.
Yet even in such case the vacation is a
boon to the husband. The longer the wife
stays away the better for him, and should
she never come back at all ii would be
better for him still.
But good wives who have good hus-
bands are happily in the majority-so-
ciety would rot and fall to pieces other
wise-and the right kind OF wife can't
have too good a time, at home or away
from it, to suit the right kind of husband.
