 The Remedies.
 "This pad, which is made of felt and leather, must be worn at least six weeks As a supplementary treatment the patient must wear the orthopedic boots made by a hygienic bootmaker on a last that is straight from toe to heel, and which, of course. come up high and strong over the ankle.
 ''The boots for women made over mems lasts, which have such vogue at present are highly approved by the medical pro- fession, because they are similar in form and effect to the orthopedic boots. But don't exchange them for the low shoe as soon as the first spring days come, if you don't want to run the risk Of a acse of flat foot in the fall"
 Young women who hear this advice profit by it more or less-generally less and it may be remarked that never were low shoes more numerous or prettier than they are this year.
 Now what does this mean? Does it follow that all the pretty young women of this city will be walking fiat-footed in a few seasons, or is the doctor talking through that personal article of deformity. necessity and identification. his hat?

proceeded to show them how we could put up our shack in there where the tempera- ture was the same the year round and never far from 50 degrees, no matter how cold it got outside. And so on, till they were all broke up and began to look upon me as their benefactor, and agreed to do anything I said.
 This was in September, and the weather was decent enough for time, but we went right to work, and after building a blind shack over the mouth of the cave, we took timber inside and put up four-room palace in there with a kitchen and stove in it, and a stone grate in our loafng room. It wasn't as elegant as a royal drawing room, perhaps, but it was cozy and comfortable, and when we went to sleep at night we knew we were not going to freeze before daylight. We put our shack close to the coal seam and as near the springs as we could, and we had fuel and hot and cold water handy. We hadn't much fresh feed, but we had plenty, such as it was, and as the weather got colder, we began to realize what snap we had.

not only the exposure consequent upon Its use in ali weathers that Is dangerous. for that can be measurably provided against by wearing overgaiters, but it is the lack of support for the ankle that is responsi- ble for the new and painful ailment termed 'fiat-foot'
 This Is just what its name indicates. The bones which form the beautiful arch of the instep sink from their proper posi- ton, producing a strain that is exquis- itely painful, and, what Is even worse, transforms the shapely foot, of which my lady is so proud, into an ungainly looking member which might belong to the most hat-footed southern darky.
 Two Causes For It.
 "The doctors predicted this several years ago, when the low shoe and the pointed toe lasts became so popular. Many women have naturally weak ankles and when they tax them by doing a great deal of walking in low shoes they are likely to reap the reward in the form of fiat foot. The pointed toed shoe assists in this evil work by throwing out of place the great toe, which is of more value than all the other toes put together, and it from doing it's full duty

Indeed, after the 1st of December, we didn't go outside at all for sixty days.
 "When we did come out again the sun shine, even the kind it was, was a blessing, and we thought we would stay out till the weather froze us in again, but, by hokey, the mosquitoes swooped down on us one night and we took to the cave to get rid of them. It was glorious sleeping place, and then we made up our mind we might as well become cave dwellers altogether.

GEN. GREENE AT THE oAA'ITAL.
The Two FiIipInos Talk About AZ
fairs In the Philippines.

washington, Sept 2T.-Gen. Francis
Greene who was made major general
of vlunteers for his distinguished services
in the invasion Of the Philippines, accom-
panied by his personal staff and the dele
gates from the Philippines insurgents, arr
rived here this afternoon from Chicago,
and went to the Arlington hotel. The
two F1llipinos are Felipe Adoncello and
Jose Lopez. They are the personal rep
resentatves of the lnsurgent leader Gen,
Aguinaldo, and are ON their way TO Parls
TO try and secure representation on the
Spanish American peace commission with
a view to recognition of the insurgent gov
ernment in The Philippines.
The Philippine delegates are desirous OF
comforting with the President ana the ques-
tiou OF their reception was under consid-
GRAFTON at the state department this aftet-
noon. There Is no doubt that the Prest-
dent will grant them an audience in their
personal capacity. He win, however, AVOID
any action that would tend 10 commit this
government to the recognition of the in
surgcnt governement pending the conciu-
sion of peace conditions with Spain.
Mr.. Lopez said that no instructions had
yet been received from the Philippines gov
ernment, but they were expected very soon
as a guide to the future movements OF the
delegates.
Speaking Of conditions in the Philippines,
Mr. Lopez said the Philippine Congress
was now conducting the business of that
portion of the country under Philippine
rule, with singular ability and success.
When MIR. Lopez was asked as to the re-
ports that the Fllipinos were soliciting
help from European governments, he de-
cared that such reports We're utterly un-
founded and unjust. They were acting in
perfect good faith with the American au-
thorities. AS an evidence OF this he cited
the fact that the German consular officer
on the island had requested a conference
with Gen. Aguinaldo. but the leader had
refused to grant the conference. Mr.. Do-
PEE also characterized as unwarrnnted the
stories that Germany was secretly equip
ping the Philippine insurgents, in order 10
bring about internal disseusions.
Gen. Greene was accompanied by Capt.
Baets and Lieut.. ScheffIin of his staff.
When he reached Gen. Corblns office he
found awaiting him commission of ma
jor general Of volunteers, dated so as to
place him In that grade August last He
promptly took the oath OF office end be-
came a full-hedgcd major general.
Gen. Greene brought from Manila the
official reports of Gen. Merritt and en-
closed with this were the reports OF the
subordinate commanders OF the United
States army who participated In the mill
itary operations before Manila.

MovEMENT OF rRoors TO ouDA.
Pan Outlined to Have 12.OOO Men
There in sixty Days.


Washington, Sept. 2..-A comprehensive
programme for moving the troops 20 Cuba
has been outlined by the war department,
and its initial features have been decided
upon. The result is due TO directions given
by the President Sept 10, 10 The effect that
details of troops be made for cuba. Acting
on this, Maj Gen. Miles outlined a plan
for sending two divisions to Cuba, the
first one under command of Maj. Gen.
Wade to leave in October. and the second
division under Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. to
leave IN November. Each division viii en-
brace about 5000 men, so that the plan is
10 have some 12,C0O troops in Cuba or on
the way within the next sixty days.
From the fact that they go TO Cuba Il
does not mean that they will proceed di-
reetly to Havana. on the contrary the
outlook is that there will be very few
troops at Havana, the bulk of them be-
ing scattered throughout the western end
OF the island, garrisonIng the small towns,
and thus gradually putting into effect the
military occupation of the. island. In an
ticipation OF the move, the quartermas-
ter's department is preparing to have
transports available for the troops
The organizations forming the October
division are as follows: Cavalry brigade
composed of the Seventh and Eighth Unit
ed states Cavalry, to be commanded by
Brig Gen. l.. II. Carpenter.
First Infantry Brigade, composed of the
Fifteenth United States Infantry and the
Fourth United States Volunteer Infantry,
to be commanded by Brig. Gen. Simon
Snider.
Second Infantry Brigade composed of
the First United States Infantry and the
Sixth United States Volunteer Infantry,
to be commanded by Brig. Gen. e. B. viii
liston, United States Volunteers.
This leaves open the command of the
division but Gen. Snider will he in tenn
porary command until a permanent divis-
ion commander is chosen. Gen. Miles
recommendation of Gen. Wade for this
command is likely to be carried out,
though it is still open, owing to the doubt
as to Gen. Wade's being free from his
service at the head of the Cuban commits
sion now holding sessions at Havana. AL
though the November division, under COM
mand of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, has been
fully projected as a part of this same pro-
gramme, It's formal execution will be de-
ferred for time. The regiments forming
the November division embrace both cav
airy and infantry, with Gen. Summer IN
