mer among the mountains. and are
charmed with the beauties of that Won
derful country. In the early Autumn
they viii take up their residence in Toxic.
where Mr.. Perry will be professor of lit
erature in the university. Mr.. and Mrs.
Perry have many Washington friends to
regret their absence, which will cover a
period of several years.
A colony of artists are passing the
Summer in the quaint old town of Scitu-
ate. on the Massachusetts coast. where
there is no end of artistic material for
the painters brush. Miss Addison,
promising young water colorist of this
city. is one of the busy coterie who are
enjoying the Summer in the picturesque
old town.

That the rich have their little troubles
is evidenced by an estimate recently made
to the effect that over two millions of
dollars worth of jewelry are lost every
season at the Summer resorts of America.
At this time of the year you will find
anywhere from two to a dozen placards
posted a the desks of the seashore and
mountain hotels offering suitable re-
words for the recovery of a diamond pin,
a diamond studded watch or some other
valuable trinket- So great have been the
losses at the fashionable resorts like New
port. Lenox. Bar Harbor or Richfield
Springs that the society matrons of late
years have deposited boxes of jewels in
bank vaults. and when large functions
are given member of the family is dis
patched to town to get the costly orna-
ments. This is a very inconvenient but
d very safe method. Before this precau-
ton was taken the theft or loss of jewels
frequently amounted to $1,000 or $4,000 at
d single instance. Very seldom are the
mislaid trinkets found, and even then
under peculiar circumstances. Last year
a Philadelphia matrOn secured apart
ments at a hotel where tree years pre-
viously she had had the misfortune to
lose several rings, a watch and diamond
crescent, valued at 400. AS she entered
one of the rooms loose board was felt
A carpenter was summoned to make the
repair. Removing the carpet, the work
man slightly raised the board and saw
something bright on the plaster below
This discovery led to the recovery of the
trinkets. The owner had hidden the prop
erty and then had forgotten about 1t.

Death DUE TO NEGLECT
Soldier Turned Out of a Camp
Alger Hospital.
CLOTHED In A BLANKET
Found Unconscious in the Road
Leading to His observation-disclosures
ure Brought on Spinal Meningitis,
From Which the Victim Never
RalIied-Other Similar Gases.

AS the direct result of criminal neglect
on the part of the medical authorities of
the Second Division Hospital at Camp AL
ger Private George Mayes. Second Ten
nessee, died yesterday morning of spinal
meningitis.
Mayes's case was published in The
Times a few days ago. and the attention
of the medical department called to the
facts.
On Thursday of last week Mayes was
discharged from the Second Division
Hospital as cured of the measles. He
had been i'll for several weeks and was
still convalescent when discharged. AS
he came out of a quarantined ward his
clothes were burned to destroy the germs
of infection. Everything was destroyed
and he was left without even a shirt.
Under the strange laws laid down by
Col Girard, a man must leave the hos
pitaI when discharged, as Mayes was
given rubber blanket with which to
clothe himself and instructed to proceed
TO his regiment.

and nothing was heard from Mayes until
some comrades found him lying naked in
the road leading to his camp, with a
rubber poncho over his head. He was
carried TO his regiment and then dragged
back TO the division hospital by order of
Col. Girard.
He was unconscious when found and
never recovered consciousness, dying
without knowing anything for five days.
The strain of the effort 10 walk and the

which he died.
Who Is to Blame.
It seems impossible to place the blame
for this and other shameful cases of
negligence which have occurred at Camp
Ager. Col Girard's rules make it impos-
sible for man to do anything for him
self. nor will these rules allow his regi-
ment to do anything for him. A sick SOL
der must be sent to the division hospital
so that he will come beneath the imme-
date command of Col. Girard

END OF THE ALLEN CLUB,
Impossible to Get Enough Second Bases
for the Chorus.

The Allen Club is no more. After
two years of public life, it has decided
to retire on it's laurels. 1t is a pity that
this is so, but the managers saw no
other alternative.
The reason assigned by one of the
officers for disbanding is the impossi-
bility of getting second BASES enough
to fill the part in such works as the
club proposed to give. Last year this
part was filled only after persistent
personal solicitation. This season only
two second basses could be induced to
join, and these wore not enough for a
chorus rising so in number.
Though there was some debt left over
from last years concerts and lectures,
it has all been guaranteed, and one
of the Officers is authority for the
statement that the debt has had Moth
ing TO do with the disbandment of the
club. New members will not be held
responsible for old debts. There was a
large membership, the enthusiasm was
great, and the enterprise was abandoned
with deep regret, only after four or five
rehearsals had proved that the chorus
could not be filed.
The club has had a field quite to it.

the start that the club was an expert
ment which had many difficulties be-
fore it. Unhappily, obstacles have null
tiplied rather than diminished. The
club has been very unfortunate as re-
CARDS the weather at many Of its en-
tertainments, and the formation of 9TH
er choruses has brought on competi-
ton that was sometimes troublesome.
The fact that no admission fee is
oh or he of NtI
choruses, has guaranteed them good
audiences. but has not helped TO fill
the house at the Allen Club concerts.
1t is misfortune that the club
should find it impossible to continue its
work, especially as no other organiza-
ton has undertaken to cover the same
field. The club was organized in the
fall of 1896, by the young people of
Union Church. Tt was named in honor
of B. D. Allen. formerly organist OF
that church. and for some years the
dean of the local musical profession.

estate broker in the State Mutual build
ing, and the chief promoter of the Peo-
pies Telephone Company, claims dam

an ad damnum of $1,000 to recover for
damages alleged to be sustained.
Mr.. Curriers' brother was in charge
of grocery store in this CITY, and

a little over 500, the E. IT. Smith Com

property to secure the claim. Mr.. Cur
rier claims that the attachment was
without iustifable cause, and also that
it was not dissolved after the claim
had been settled, which Mr.. Currier
claims was an act of negligence. for
which he wants damages.

WILL WAIT A WHILE.
County Commissioners Undecided About
New Court House Furniture.

lNcW OOuFk mouse TuFNituf5.
After consultation with the various
county officials the county commission
ers have practically decided not to
award the contract for the metallic fur
niture of the new court house until the
new building is complete. This post
ponement of the matter indefinitely has
been due to the expressed wish of the
county officials, who are undecided as
to what furniture they want, and what
they win need. When the offices are
ready for occupation at the completion
of the building, the officials VIII know
fully what the requirements OF their
offices will neoessitate in the outlay for
office furniture.
The officials dislike at the present
time to be bound by g. contract which,
if let at the present time, would not
take into consideration the full neces-
stiles of the offices, as may be deter
mined later. When the court officers
have investigated fully what furniture
they need, the commissioners will
again take up the matter Represent
atives of Yeaman & Erbe, well known
manufacturing company Of Boston,
which makes a speciality of metallic
furniture, have been in consultation
with the commissioners, and estimates
upon their recommendations will be
made later
