AS THE PRINCE SAW JEKYL.
Prince Albert of Belgium Writes OF
His Trip to the island.

Prince Albert of Belgium Writes of
His Trip to the Island.
Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 26.-Prince Albert
of Belgium has returned to his home.
The future King of the Belgiums tells in
a recent article of what he saw and
thought of America. OF Jekyl Island,
which the Prince visited. ne says:
"Jekyl Island is a little island abandoned
by its colonists during the war of seces-
sion. 1t was purchased by some rich
Americans during 1888. 1t realizes one of
the strange fantasies of millionaires who
founded there a club, of villas The site
is delicious and nothing could be so pretty
as ats elegant buildings on the edge of
the sea in the midst of sumptuous parks.
"In the interior of the island they have
organized for themselves hunts, prone
nades, coachngs, picnics and tennis par
tics. 1t is the triumph OF sport, and all
the days pass in endless parties.
1T is a strange thing that the horses
and beasts left on the island when it was
deserted have returned to their savage
state, and have grown so fierce as to
obhge their destruction.
THE pigs have aquired the freedom and
liberty of boars, and defend themselves
vigorously They serve for the sport of
the lords of the manor. who, in the hunt
set out on booded horses, preceded by
packs of hounds"
The Prince is a little mixed about
Jekyl being abandoned by the coionsts,
but he evidently meant well and no harm
is done by his error

Camp Wikoff, Aug. A.-When the his
tory of this war is written two names
will stand side by side on the brightest
page. One is Joe Wheeler, major general
of volunteers, one time Confederate gen.
eral. who went to the firing line on a lit

ism by his own indomitable courage which
disease could not subdue. The other is
his daughter. Annie Laurie Early Wheel
er, the only non-immune Red Cross nurse
who went to Santiago.
To Gen. Joe came the high honor of
commanding this camp of recuperat ton.
Placed above regulars and volunteers alike
there is none who can say "he does not
deserve the honor"
To the daughter belongs the honor OF
a nurses place in the general hospital,
with forty patients in her care.
