From the News.
Mrs. j. A. Hayden, Miss Ellen and
Masters Gay and John Hayden and
ID. G. Feather left the Park this
morning for an overland trip to Nor
gantown.
The stock holders of the Mountain
Lake Park Association at their meet
ing on the Goth inst. voted not to
build a new auditorium. Doubtless
the present one will be enlarged.
That a new building is needed no one
will deny, but the Park Association,
did not see the way clear to build
just now. Plans were prepared for
a beautiful auditorium by Wheeling
architects and submitted to the
meeting.
So far five car loads of sewer pipe
have been received by the community
of Mountain Lake Park. Wednesday
afternoon Supt. Rudisill put a gang
of men at work digging trenches for
the sewer pipe. The work is being
pushed forward as rapidly as a large
force of men can do it. 1t looks as if
the line beginning on Oakland avenue
would bel by Saturday. Some work
has been done on the second line be-
ginning on Spruce street and follow
ing the alley east of G street. Ex-
perienced pipe men from Wheeling
are laying the pipe, assisted by Levi
Hewitt, of the Park. A number Of
cottage owners will connect at once
with the sewer system. At last the
Park has water and sewer system.

To Reorganize the Militia.

Governor Lowndes says that the
Maryland militia would be reorgan-
lied soon after the Fifth regiment is
mustered out and that the men now
composing volunteer forces would
become State guards. The companies
will be reduced The Governors visit
to Camp Meade Tuesday was for the
purpose of ascertaining how many
of the Maryland troops wish to be
mustered out of service. Col. Lane
was consulted and a thorough in
quiry made as to desires of the regi-
ment. After the Governor and Gen
eral Wilmer return, it is proposed to
submit the result of their investiga-
ton to the War Department. The
Governor has determined to send
delegates to Tampa to a convention
to he held on February to discuss
plans for the reorganization of the
State militia organizations.

Registration.

The most important duty Il repub
lican can render to his party and to
his country is to see that his name
and the names of all other republi-
cans in his neighborhood are properly
put on the lists of registered voters
Unless this duty is performed a man
cannot vote and when election day
comes he will have no voice in deter
ming who shall be his representative
nor in the shaping of affairs. We
urge upon republicans the importance
of looking after registration because
we know from past experiences that
many republicans are careless about
the matter, while our opponents rare
ly fail to get their full strength regis
tered
In all the districts of the county
the days of registration are: Tuesday,
October 18th. and Tuesday, October
18th, and for revision only, Tuesday,
October 18th. No voters can be reg
istered on October 18th.
For hours and places of registration

When Mark Twain Felt Embarrassed
When Mark Twain was first intro
duced to General Grant the latter
shook hands in perfunctory manner
and Immediately relapsed into his
customary attitude of reticence.
There was an awkward pause; it grew
longer and longer as the humorist
tried to think of something to say.
Finally, as if in sheer desperation.
Twain looked up with an assumed
air of great timidity, and said: Mr..
President, Il feel little embarrass-
ed. Do you? The President could
not help smiling, and Mark took ad-
vantage of the chance the incident
presented to give place to others.
Ten years later, when statesman
and humorist met again, General
Grant, with a twinkle in his eye,
said, before Twain had the chance to
utter word: Mr. Clemens, | don't
feel at all embarrassed. Do your
October Ladies' Home Journal.

Men and women doctor their troubles
so often without benefit, that they get
discouraged and skepticaI. In most
such cases serious mistakes are made
in doctoring and in not knowing what
our trouble is or what makes us sick.
The unmistakabIe evidences of kidney
trouble are pain or dun ache in the
back, too frequent desire to pass water,
seanty supply. smarting irritation. As
kidney disease advances the face looks
sallow or pale. puffs or dark circles I'M

the heart acts badly. Should further
evidence be needed to find out the
cause of sickness. then set urine aside
for twenty-four hours. If there is a

BURNED I X OFFAL.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 1S.-The
Eighth Illinois arrived this forenoon
and will garrison and police the city.
The bodies of the dead Spaniards con-
tinue to be cremated. Over 700 have
been burned so far. This afternoon
seventy were to be burned. Over two
rails a dozen bodies are streto he'd, and
cross them another dozen, and about
thirty corpses are stacked in an i'm
mense funeral pile ten feet high. Then
the pile is saturated with kerosene and
the torch applied.
A fall of rain put out the fire. causing
the bodies to be only half burned.
Around the pile lay twenty-five collins
containing corpses in a state of decom-
position.
Several dead bodies were strewn upon
the ground in a state of putrefaction.
Altogether, seventy unburied and un-
consumed bodies were there. The stencil
etery within the city limits. The au-
thorities and the cemetery officials say
it is impossible to get men to work at
the cremation. Wages of 81 a day
prove no inducement to the natives to
work at this gruesome toll.
The unconsumed bodies will be left
upon the earth until tomorrow, when
fine weather may help the work of Gre
nation. These seventy corpses repre-
sent two days dead from the Spanish
camp. The danger to the population
from the stencil, the presence Of the
buzzards, vultures and flies is incalcu-
liable.

AMERICAN LOSS.

Hong Kong, Aug. 17.-Admiral Dewey
gave General August an hour in which
to surrender at the time of the last de-
mand, made on Saturday. General Au-
gusti refused to comply.
The bombardment, which began at
$50 a. M, was continued for two hours,
and then the Americans stormed the
trenches.
The Spaniards assert that the fire of
the Americans for the most part fell
short, the only effective fire being from
a small gunboat armed with quick
firing guns that were close in shore.
1t is also asserted by the Spaniards
that "the Americans lost heavily in
the storming, owing to the faulty con-
struction of their intrenchments, which
the Spaniards could command from
the heights, and upon which the pour
ed a CALLING fire"
The Spanish trench extended around
the walled city at a distance of from
two to our miles, forming a circle of
ten miles in diameter, and it was inn
possible, the S~paniards say, to hold
so long a line against the American
attack
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt,
it is reported, had issued orders to
par all except armed d%efenses of the
city, and consequently the town is I'M
derstood to have been but little dam
aged. Some street fighting between the
insurgents and the Spaniards occurred
in the outskirts, but order prevailed
within the walled section.
The American version of the battle is
not yet o~btainable. General August,
former captain general of the Philip
pines, will start for Madrid tomorrow
by the German mail steamer.

I bans are encamped about the city and
conditions imposed by the armistice,
and some trouble has occurred.
Secretary Alger in speaking of the
matter said that it might as well be
fully understood that the United States
would control the surrendered terri
tory, and that it would manage the af-
fairs Of that territory. Thos who re-
NAMED within the jurisdiction would
have to obey the laws and officers of
the United States, as General Lawton
was informed.
The war department began the work
OF mastering out the volunteers, who
will not be needed in the service. The
order was prepared, but was not is
sued, as it was deemed best to await
news from Manila before ~disbanding
any Of the troops. 1t is expected that
all the cavalry and artillery of the vol
unteer force now in the United States
will be mustered out.
Reports Of better conditions in the
various camps are being received and
especially do fattering reports come
from Montauk Point, showing that the
soldiers are being we'll cared for there.
Preparations have been going for
ward for the movement of the troops
from the camps which were originally
established, in order to scatter them
about the country.
DEWEY's FULL POWERS.
The first report concerning yellow fe-
Yer among the United States troops in
this country came from Key West. Sur
geon General Sterntergs believes that
it can be kept under control.
Secretary Alger said tonight that
General Merritt and Admiral Dewey
had full instructions and full power to
act, n there was not the least doubt
that whatever was done would be most
satisfactory.
1t might be that in the changed con-
dition of affairs since the protocol was
signed that General Merritt might ask
for further instructions, but he had
not done SO.
The war department will welcome the
restoration of cable communication to
Manila, SO that it may be advised at all
times as to the progress of events.
