CUPID IN A BOTTLE.
The Ohio River Assists a Lonely
Young Woman TO Find
a Husband.

Miss Edna House, of Bromley, near
Cincinnati, was an ambitious young
woman, who on one September after
noon became tired of single blessedness
and resolved to secure herself a hus-
band.
She cast q bottle upon the waves Of
the Ohio, in which, before sealing, she
had placed note which read:
''The finder Of this will please correspond
with me at once. I am lonely because the
Bromley boys are too slow
'EDNA HOUSE"
The missive danced along until it
was lost to sight, and the young damsel
had almost forgotten its existence when
one day a month later she received n
note from John Eggleston, a farmer Of
North Bend, KY, which stated that he
had found the bottle and intended to
comply with the note found therein.
He did so, and an exchange Of photo
graphs followed.
Shortly afterward Bromley people
were startled by the appearance one
Sunday afternoon of a new rig in front
Of the House homestead, and investiga-
ton revealed the fact that Eggleston
had come to make the acquaintance of
Miss House. Since then frequent visits
have been made, and the gosslps of
the town predicted a speedy union of
the two young hearts.
The expectations were realized one
day lately when Eggleston arrived IN
town dressed In his best, and soon the
two were seen vending their way
toward the Office OF Squire Anderson,
where they were married.

A woMAN's PLUcKY WORK.
HELPS to build n Home with Her own
Hands and Saves n Sick ITus-
bands Life.

Five miles. from Cucamonga, Cal.,.
lives a woman who is a carpenter and
paper hanger. She is Mrs. Minnie
Warner Ewing, formerly Of st. Louis,
3 society belle and Vassar grad
uate. Her husband held good posi-
ton, but consumption compelled him
to seek relief in California, and, with
$4,000 capital, the Ewings went west.
This money was soon expended, and the
wife found herself compelled to take
care of a sick husband and make q
living at the same time. Mrs. Ewing
preempted tract of government land,
five miles from Cucamonga, in San
Bernadino county. In few hours she
had made a formal entry for quarter
section, and the next day the founda-
ton of her new home was laid. Early
in the morning Mrs. Ewing and a car
penter drove to her claim in lumber
wagon. BY eight o'clock she had
marked ont the plan for a two-story
frame structure. Then, while the car
penter started building, she carted the
lumber from Cucamonga. This done
she then became the carpenters as
sistant.
Mrs. Ewing also assisted in shingling
the roof, and when this was completed
she gave the roof two solid coats of
paint. Then without assistance, Mrs.
Ewing constructed a chimney IA feet
high, and just three weeks and four
days after her arrival her house was
complete at cost of S4OO.
In the new home Mr.. Ewing's health
is fast improving, and he viii soon be
able to take up farming.

HOSPITAL SERVICE
The Chief Feature Is tho Proposed
Amalgamation Of Regimental
and Division Hospitals

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.-Important
results are likely to follow the extensive
tour Of inspection of the military camps
Just completed by Secretary Alger, es-
pecially in the matter of reorganiz.ng the
hospital service in the field. The secretary
conferred closely with commanding officers
and medical officers at the camps. but es-
pecially with the fifteen colonels whom he
met, looking to the ascertainment of their
views upon the relative merits of the di-
vision hospital and the regimental hes
pitaL
The defect of the division hospital, in the
mind of the soldiers. is the separation Of
the soldiers of the same regiment. causing
great discomfort, low spirits and discour"
agement The men Will often go to great
lengths to conceal real Illness in order to
escape being sent to the hospital Against
the reglmental hospitals it is urged that
the men cannot be properly taken care Of
with troops on the move. with no female
nurses and with a lack of every sanitary
and medical device that modern practice
has come to regard as essential.
Secretary Alger has framed project for
the amalgamation of the hospitals in such
manner as to retain the most desirable
features Of both. His plan is to have the
division hospital arranged in sections Of
tents, lying in wings branching off from
a central aisle. These can be very easily
made by the use Of few flies and proper
connection of the common A tents. Then
the sections are to be allotted TO the DIFF
ferent regiments in the division, each in
the care of one of the reg.meata doctors,
yet receiving the attention of the high-class
talent and female nursing which IS posi-
BILE only in the big division hospitals. In
this way the men would preserve the intli-
viduality of their commands, and the idea
may be carried out so far as to sub-divde
the sections into smaller sections. assign
ing one to each company In the regiment.
and thus enabling the sick men 70 make
sure Of falling in with their mates when
they go to the hospital. Secretary Alger
believes that the soldiers would thus be
reconciled to going to the division hospital,
where they can secure the best food and

M'KINLEY'S TRIP
More Invitations Than Can Possibly
Be Accepted


WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Many cities
not heretofore considered wish to be in

trip West in connection with the Omaha
Exposition With the outlining of the
plans for the trip, invitations of a most
urgent character. both by telegram and
letter. have been dispatched to the Presi-
dent in the interests of those anxious to
entertain the President. President Nc
Kinley, however, has planned to spend only
fortnight away from Washington, and
this will necessitate reluctant declina-
ton of numerous invitations.
II Assistant Secretary of War Meikeliohn
had a long interview with the President
today. going over the arrangements TO.
the trip. The results of the interview were
unimportant, no changes nor additions
being determined upon, as the President
has not fully made up his mind on the SUBJ
ject
The skeleton of the itinerary as already
published remains unchanged and the
President will reach Omaha about 10
O'Clock on the night of October II. The
18th Is the special day and what is to he
done between that time and the 18th. when
the President IS expected In Chicago is
not fully determined though the Omaha
authorities look for him to remain over
the 18th, and it ifs likely ne will be In St.
Louis on the night of the 14th
1t is also probable he will reach Chicago
before the 18th to be the guest of personal
friends. The disposition of the balance of
the fortnight, however, has not been def
nitely settled.
The President had a busy time seeing
visitors today. Before 10 o'clock the lobby
just outside of his office was crowded with
visitors who included several members of
Congress.
