EFFECT OF MAusER BULLETS.

The army surgeons are beginning to get
reports from tho front which help them
i'm their conclusions as to the effect of
gunshot wounds of this war Wounds by
the Nauscr bullet are, apparently, either
Immediately fatal on the field or trivial
in their subsequent course, There are no
explosive effects from the brass jacketed
bullet of the Mauser rife, the wound of
exit, in most instances, being scarcely
larger than that of entrance. Long bones
were usually perforated without comminl
alton. often even without fracture. Only
about thirty-tlve cases required sDlints.
Abdominal wounds are classed among
the Immediately fatal, as few OF them
were seen in the hospitals. The Mauser
bullet defOrms frequently, but even then
II does not make the hdeous wounds that
were expected. "keyhole" wounds made
by the bullet when striking with its long
axis have been fairly common. Many
bullets, even when fired at short range,
lodged, instead of perforated. In eight
out Of forty-one consecutive cases the bull
let was lodged. This is attributed to the
inferior or a deteriorated character of the
powder in the cartridges supplied to tho
Spanish infantry. Antiseptic first aid"
was eminently successful, wounds heal
ing rapidly.

THE HERITAGE or WAR.
drrom the Boston TranscrlntO

The aftermath of the war is now i'm
pressing upon citizens who have known
nothing about II except what has been con-
veyed by startling bulletins and poster
type headlines, realizing sense of what
war really is. Peace has now returned to
us, but what a crop of misery comes with
it. 1t comes by steamer and by rail- The
cars that bring back our returning sol.
diers, are rank with the smell of fever
and the men who alight from them are
hardly more than shadows of those who
went away. Even those who call them
selves we'll are thin and worn. while the
rest present depressing array OF emacia-
ton, weakness and pallor. They are dying
Gil tho steamers, in camp. at the hotels
and In their homes, and in many cases
those who now seem to recover will carry
with them to the end of their days the
germs of an ever-recurring malady.
Whatever may be and wherever may
lie the responsibility for neglect and in
efficiency in caring for our soldiers, 4
great deal of all that SO shocks our sensi-
bilities and arouses our sympathes Is un-
aNoidable. 1t is one of the features of
war. grewsome but characteristic. We did
not need these ocular demonstrations to
show us what would happen. The Span
iards reckoned accurately upon the al
lance of fever in the island OF Cuba, and
had not the army and navy proceeded so
promptly to get ahead of the alliance we
might not yet be cutting on: the work for
a peace commission. Never were cause
and effect truer to each other. Spanish
bullets have been comparatively harmless.
but Cuban fever is making its CHASTITY
records still.
The soldiers of the civil conflict found
out that war was n very undesirable
thing, and few of them even If able have
embraced the recent opportunity to renew
their experiences with 1t. Brief as was the
struggle, extending over as many months
as the former did years. the present gen.
GRAFTON has doubtless parted with con-
siderable of the enthusiasm with which it
welcomed hostilties. The sword will APP
pear less attractive from now on and
diplomacy will begin TO be respected once
more as the highest expression OF ma
tonal wisdom The value of our victories
has yet to be proved. The measure of our
sacrifices is swelling all the time, and a
sick and weary procession is coming back
to take the place OF the vigorous young
Americanism that went away a few
months ago.

THE FIRST MEN IN KlONOlkE

Ones Much Experience.

Seattle, WASH, Aug. 3o.-The steamer
Roanoke arrived here to-day from St.

gold dust which n conservative estimate
places at one million and half dollars.
The bulk of it was the property of tho

ing company The amount consigned tI
the Canadian Bank of Commerce is $780,
900. a majority of the passengers were
men who went to Dawson in last years

perience. The fortunate passengers num-
bered about 10. OF these probably Is had
over 1900 each. Tho amounts held by
the remaining 30 range from 800 to 5000
The following is list of the richest
ones and the amounts they brought back:

the highest rank to meet at the navy de-
pdrtmcnt to consider and report upon all
cases of officers deserving of reward for
specially meritorious services during the
war with Spain other than those officers
whose services have been already recog-

Charles 5. Norton, commandant of the

assigned to duty as recorder of the board.
Col. Charles Haywood, Commandant OF
the Marine corps, will sit as a member Of
the board when the case of the officers
of marine corps are under consideration.
There has been considerable unfavorable
comment IN regard to the promotions
made on the ground that they have acted
as a form of degradation in the case of
several deserving officers, who have been
actually reduced in their grade through
the advancement of others. 1t Is hoped
that the work of the special board just
appointed will do away with all cause of
complaint in the case Of the officers yet

NO WOMAN rs EXEMPT.

Regularityis matter of importance
In every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
In truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM;-I feel like a
new person since following your adj
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea. I
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
I never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. ] now wish to say that I never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhoea. l hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, FOR years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. PinlSham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
OF the correspondence department Of
her great business, treating by letter
Us many as n hundred tn ousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinlsham, at Lynn,
Mas, for advice about their health.

The most remarkable thing about Mrs.

Is that she Is alive to-day.
No one, perhaps, is more surprised at
this than Mrs. Lord herself. She looks back
at the day when she stood on the verge Of
death and shudders. She looks ahead at a
life Of happiness with her children, her hus-
band and her home with Joy that only
mother can realize.
Mrs. Lord Is the mother Of three children,
two Of whom are twins, until the twins
came nothing marred the Joy Of her life.
Then she was attacked with heart failure
and for year was unable to attend to the
ordinary duties Of the home. In describing
her own experience Mrs. Lord says:

ORDERED HOME FROM PORTO RICO
Much sickness Prevails Among the Amer
lean soldiers There.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-An order has been
sent from the war department to Maj
Gen. Miles directing that all the troops
which can possibly be spared from gar
rson duty in Porto Rico be sent to tho
United States without delay. The order
is significant from the fact that instruc-
tons were sent to Gen. Miles several days
ago directing that number OF regiments
which the administration had decided to
muster out of the service be sent home
at once. The administration is now alarm
cd by reports recently received In regard
to the health situation in Porto Rico The
officials have heretofore been very reti-
cent on the subject and an effort has been
made 20 prevent the publication OF alarm
ing reports in the hope of avoiding furth-
or possibility of criticism of the army adj
ministration. The war department now
admits, however, that there is sickness
among the troops in Porto Rico.
Representative Wadsworth of New York
was in Washnton to-day, having arrived
at Newport News yesterday on the auxil-
larry naval vessel Mayflower from Porto
Rico. lie had previously visited Santiago
and was, therefore, able to compare the
conditions existing in Cuba and Porto Ri
co. He called on the secretary of war
this afternoon and told him that the sanl-
tary situation in Gen. Miles army was
alarming, and that 1t was question Of
only a few days before the epidemic of
disease among tho troops would be as serl-
Gus as 1t was at Santiago.
Mr.. Wadsworth said that when he left
the island, last week, the sickness was
increasing rapidly. Fully 10 per cent of
the men were sick, he said, many OF them
with inalarlal and typhoid fevers. The
only fact which made the situation less
alarming than at Santiago was that Gen.
Miles command was free from yellow
fever. The men, as n rule, had no shelter
except small tents. and these afforded lit
tie protection from the terrific rains
which fell nearly every day Scarcely II
night passed in which tho soldiers were
not drenched to the skin by the sudden
tropical showers, the like of which no one
VINO has never been outside of the United
States knows anything about.
Mr.. Wadsworth said that when he left
Porto Rico Gen. Miles expected to leave
for the United States very soon. The
commanding general had expected to
leave sometime before, but awaited the
arrival of Mrs. Miles when he heard that
she had left for Porto Rico. Then he was
detained a few days longer by business of
the army.
The New York cavalry troops have been
ordered home without waiting for their
horses to be put aboard the transports. in
order to facilitate the withdrawal of the
men from the island.
