CRIMINAL BLUNDERS.
Who is Responsible for the Condition
of the Troops?

At Montauk Point, within few
hours of New York city, in touch with
all the comforts and delicacies Of life,
sick heroes from Santiago are forced to
sleep on the soaked ground without
proper clothes or covering, and to stand
guard duty when they are falntlng
from the debilitating effects Of fever.
But the suffering at Montauk is not
the only fearful tale. At Camp Ihom-
as, Chickamauga, 600 deaths have been
reported since the camp was establish
ed, and go since August l, and there
are 2,294 sick men in the hospitals.
These men have not been battling in
tropical feversmitten land They have
been right in the United States all the
time, and certainly healthy location
for their camp was the least that should
have been provided for them.
Before camp Alger was broken up
$50 men had died there That is more
than the Spaniards killed at Santiago,
and camp Alger is just outside OF
Washington. The presidnnt almost

house.
Fernandina and Tampa and other
camps have also sent up pitiful tales OF
neglect, sickness, suffering and death.
The report of Surgeon-General Terry,
regarding the condition Of the New
York troops in the several camps show
ed such dreadful condition Of affairs
that Governor Black did not dare to

Oont's For Mothers.

An infant should be given no food

Starchy foods include biscuits, corn

An infant cannot digestany OF these
until its teeth are cut.
Violent noises and rough shaklngs
or tossings are hurtful to baby; and

Infants should never be put into a

three months old, when they will prob

should be carried fat in the nurse $

THE REAL HERO.
ResI AdMiraI schley's Warm Wei
came tu Washington.

lIoDsou had his ovation. the Rough
Riders ha,j theirs. and Wheeler lis.
but all three combined would hot be-
gin to equal the demonstration at the
war. state and navy departments Sat
urday morning in honor Of Rear -Admi-
raj Schley. There has been nothing
like it in Washington before. II the
officials of the navy department had
anv doubt as to who was the popular
hero of Santiago their doubt was en-
tircly dispelled. The magnitude Of the
ovation given to Schley Friday night
about Washington and in front OF his
hotel was of most remarkable charac-
ter. But owing to the sentiments that
exist among tic heads Of the navy de-
partmcnts. it was believed that the
popular sentiment there could be held
in check. Such was not the case.
Crowds had been waiting all morn
ing in front of the great navy depart
ment building. and the shout they
raised upon his appearance was sig
nal for those inside that the gallant ad-
miral had anivcd. As if by mutual
consent. all business was suspended.
Not only did the clerks and minor
clerks and minor officers of the war and
navy departments leave tLeir desks,
but the heads Of bureaus joined in the
wild rush to welcome the admiral: The
corridors could not begin to hold the
throngs that pushed around him.
General Wilson. head Of the engineer
department, threw his arms around the
admiral's neck and kissed him. For the
next ten minutes he was bombarded
with embraces and kisses from men and
women alike. There must have been
forty women who thus displayed their
love and admiration for the gallant Of
fi;e.. He stood the ordeal as he must
have stood the firing from the Spanish
fleet.
While he remained in the depart
mcnt, which was nearly an hour, there
was little work done in any bureau.
lie finally escaped into Capt. Crownin-
schield's Office. where the door was
locked. From here he worked his way
to various bureaus until he emerged
from the building. He was to have
taken the 11:43 train, but it was I'M
possible to break through the human
barricade which had been thrown up
around him.
Over at the white house there was
one man who realized he had not done
the wrong thing in heaping every hon.
or upon this naval hero. He received
every ovation with modesty, almost
shrinking at times from the popular ex-
hibition of approval. He is small,
spare man, not as large as his picture
would indicate, but one cannot come
within forty yards of him without feel.
ing his personal magnetism. He will
leave this afternoon for Maryland, the
state of his birth, which is waiting
with open arms to welcome him.

Cason. of the Plant system, was shot

the State campaign was held Friday,
says:
After the campaign meeting here yes
tecday, which passed of pleasantly
enough, the town was thrown into a
fomcnt by disturbance among the po-

live.
Policeman johnson, it is said. was
endcavoring to arrest Seay for disturb
ins the peace. when the latter over
powered Johnson and after beating
him. stabbed him with knife. The
policemen used his weapon in the melee
with the above results.

Porto Rico Already Crowded.

Young men out of a job. who think
it will be good plan to move to Porto
Rico and grow up with the country,
will be interested in some facts regard

Springfield Republican. 1t says:
Porto Rico is much more densely
populated than Connecticut-the fig
urcs being 234 persons to the square
mile in one case and l54 in the other;
and there are only three States Of the
Union more densely populated than
Connecticut. The island is almost as
thickly settled as Massachusetts, the
second most populous State in the
United States. No agricultural sec
ton in the United States begins to be
50 dcnsely populated as that island.
Compare its 236 persons to the square
mile with Kansas II. or Nebraska 5

Give lis the Prnnf

At the recent meeting of the Nun ici
pal League, held in Detroit, Mic h.,
Mayor Smyth Of Charleston, quoted in
a dispatch to the News and Courier as
saying that there has been more drunken
ness in South Carolina under the dis
pensary law than prior to its enactment.
Col. \. Howard Patterson. who takes
the reverse position. has replied to
Mayor Smyth and calls upon him to
produce the facts to bear out his decla-
ration. The Barnwell Seminal says in
making the statesment he did, Charles
tons mayor has given the lie to the
ministers of South Carolina, for it was
their opinion, expressed some time
back, that intempcrance was largely on
the decrease. Whether or not there is
less whiskey sold in this county now
than under the old system we are not in
a position to say, but we do say, and
without fear CT contradiction, that there
has been less drunkness seen on our
streets since the dispensary law has
been in force than formerly We be-
lieve that majority Of those opposed
to the law will admit this. Mayor
Smyth must prove the correctness Of
his assertion or he will stand convicted
before the public. 1t strikes us Col
Patterson has put him into deep hole
and showed the hole in after him.

to be released from woman who loves
him too dearly. They were married on
