that the weather in the South Is too wet

DIR. Sem, one of the ablest me-
dical scientists in this country,
who, in spite of large practice
which pays him many thousands
of dollars every year, offered his
services to the government and
went to Santiago for the purpose
of taking charge of the field hospi-
tails, has made himself a target for
the rapid-fire mudguns of the
friends of President Mckinley
and Secretary Alger, because he
was so bold as to sharply criticize
in the public prints the stupid
laundering which characterized
the Santiago campaign and to
comment on the suffering it eau
sed to the brave soldiers in the
field. 1t is quite safe to say that
the reputation of DR.. Sem as a
medical authority is too great to
be injured by the sneers and jeers
of the small body of individuals
and newspapers who have tagged
themselves to the coat-tails of the
administration and snarl viciously

ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

One of the pretty weddings thai
have taken place here this season
was that OF Mr.. Henry Briant OF
New Orleans to Miss Marie Rose
de la Housssye, which was cele.
brated Tuesday, the 3Oth inst, al
six o'clock, at the Catholic church,
by Father A. b. Langlois.
The bride, proceeded by the
ushers, bridesmaids and grooms-
men, entered the church leaning
upon the arm of her father, Mr..
Jules de la Houssaye. At this
time Prof. Won Hofe played a
beautiful march on the organ.
The groom awaited the arrival
of the bride at the foot of the
main alter, in company of his best
man, Mr.. Oscar Robin of New Or
leans.
Miss Ange Marie de la Hous-
saye, sister of the bride, was maid
of honor and Miss de la
Houssaye of New Iberia and
Laurence Bertrand were brides
maids; Messrs Iphis Fournet and
Jos. Peschier were groomsmen.
The ushers were Oscar Durand,
John Hanly and Eddie Guirard.
During the benediction Mr.. Ed.
E. Soulier sang a pretty Ave Ma
ria accompanied by Mrs. Soulier,
and when the bridal party was
leaving the church Prof. Won Hofe
executed a march on the violin
with organ accompaniment.
A pretty little reception was
held ut the residence of the brides
parents where the guests were en-
tertained in a most charming man.
ner by all the members Of the

Mr.. and Mrs. Briant received
the good wishes of all their

when they left Wednesday. for
their home, in New Orleans, they
carried with them the best wishes
for prosperity and happiness of a
host of friends.

Gen. Shafter says that annexa-
ton is the correct thing for Cuba,
and that it is the thing that all the
business people on the island, of
all natiOnalities, want. Undoub-
tedly he is right. Nothing short
of annexation will bring the order
and the good government to Cuba
which her residents need, and the
opposite of which caused the Uni
ted States to intervene and free
Cuba from Spanish rule. Annex
alton seems to be growing in Gu
ba. Naturally all the Span,ards
in the island favor it, now that
SPANS connection with Cuba has
ended, and can never be resumed,
for they fear the rule of the ma
tive Cubans. The Americans,
English and Germans residing in
the island have already favored
annexation. These four elements
-Spaniards, Americans, English
men and Germans represent prac-
tically the whole business inter-
ests IF Cuha There are av;dap
ces, too, that among the native
Cubans the desire for a separate
republic is diminishing. The in
dications are that, by the free
choice of her people, Cuba will be
American territory within a few
months after the ratification of
the peace treaty. Globe-Demo-

Politics precipitated the war
with Spain, and it appears that
politics are having a contamina-
ting effect in the ranks of the vo-
lunteer army. While officers are
pulling wires to secure promotion
to higher grade the private SOL
diers are working to have them
selves mustered out, and it is quite
safe to say that petitions to 60
vernors, senators and representa-
tives are numerous. The officers
and men of the Fourth Illinois
are in a great snarl, and the fact
has attracted the attention of the
home papers. The Chicago Chro-
nicle very properly remarks that
the "rOund robin" business which
was inaugurated at Santiago by
Col. Roosevelt and his followers
was excusable under the circum-
stances, but it is being carried too
far. The Chronicle says with
much truth:
"a military organization cannot
be conducted upon the principle
of political primary. Soldiers
are not supposed to say whether
they will or will not go or stay,
whether they will advance or re-
treat. This Is for the superiors to
decide. If the vote-taking system
which has been introduced in the
camps were encouraged we should
sooner or later hear of regiments
balloting on the question of char
ging a battery and voting by COM
panies upon the ACCESSIBILITY of
Obeying an order for a forced
march. The volunteers should
stick to their knitting until they
they are mustered out, which will
probably not be long. Item.

THE PACKERS AT THE BATTLE OF

more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time TO see doctor,
for it was case Of rush and rush night
and day to keep the troops supplied with
ammunition and rations. but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarr-
hoea Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; i'm fact, l sin
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was tho indirect saviour
of our army, for IL the packers had been
unable to work there would have been
no way Of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that wagon train
could use. My cOmrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in a supply Of
this medicine for our pack-train before
