Then it struck me that he would make a
collector If he carried his nersistency into
his work, and he has proved a wonder. He
has realized on old accounts that we had
given up as hopeless long ago, simply wear
ing debtors down to where they would rather
pay than be bothered any further. One
sharp rascal who makes no p~retense of pay
ing his debts told our phenomenon that he
would have to get up very early in the
morning to get anything out of him. Our
man was at that fellows house at 2 $50

Illinois already had two regiments in ac-
tive service at the front, while Indiana
had not one. Even In that case, however,
Secretary Alger did not make the selection

Secretary Alger is Fastening the prepara-
tions at Montauk Point for the reception
OF he Fifth army corps, now at Santiago.
Surgeon General Stcrnberg has just dis
patched Colonel Forwood Of his bureau to
the site Of the camp with instructions TO
erect at once a hospital capable Of accom-
modating no less than 500 soldiers. General
Shafter has been authorized by a cablegram
from Secretary Alger to notify his soldiers
of the good fortune in store for them in
order that the men may be choered up to
wait with patience for their removal. This
cannot be effected Immediately. owing to
the condition Of the men themselves.
The present plan is to begin as soon as
possible the transportation to Montauk

covered from the fever and those who have
not yet contracted 1t. The sick must wait,
for the physicians say that the climatic
change involved in bringing them north
would prove fatal in many cases. But the
delay is not likely to be extended. Sur
goon General Sternberg says that GONZALES
cence in fever of a type as mild as that
at Santiago does not usually occupy more
than ten days, although as the season runs
on and the virulence increases this period
is greatly extended. AS soon as that period
is passed the men will be embarked for
home.
The matter of transports for this work
is already under consideration and is likely
to be adjusted very satisfactorily. The
Navy department has concluded that it can
dispense with the four big American line
steamers, formerly known as the New York,
st. Louis, st. Paul and Paris, and the War
department has begun negotiations for char
tering them. Mr.. Griscom, the president OF
the line. will meet Colonel Hecker, in
charge of transportation, tomorrow, by APP
polntment, at the War department to make
the necessary arrangements by which the
soldiers of the Fifth corps can make flying
trips on these vessels from Cuba to the
north.
The War department has corrected a state
ment made yesterday as to the remarkable
casualties among the officers of the Twenty
fourth infantry, in connection with the
death of Captain Dodge. What was meant
TO have been stated was that every cap
tain of the regiment had been either killed
or incapacitated by wounds or disease since
taking the field in the present campaign.

devoted to the sand-bag and the
sand dagger, which would be
brief but graphic. After the
Sheep Herder had passed through
these economic processes, he
could be dumped in back alley
with every assurance that all the
values in him had been extracted.
When the children were thorough
ly grounded in these preliminary
branches, they would be prepared
to take up any authorized work
on finance, such for instance, as
the Red Dragon or Coins Finan-
cial School. They would, from
such a course, inevitably draw
correct conclusions and become
brilliant opponents of the economic
advantages of moral depravity.
