The Thsrnwell Orphanage.

DR.. W. P. Jacobs sends out the fol-
lowing appeal for help. which ought go
find response in every soul that loves
a good deed for its own sake:
The condition Of affairs at the Or
phanage is such that it is absolutely
necessary for its friends to bestir them
selves in the way of raising funds fnr
it's support. There has been very
great falling off in our receipts from
the date Of the declaration of war by
this government against Spain: Why
this should have affected the benevo-
lence of the Lords people does not
APPEAR. for there has been no cessation
of business and no interruption of the
regular order Of events. The sun rises
and sets; the seasons are as propitious
az ever. Trains come and go. The
stores and schools and churches are all
open. Even the enlisting of an army
of volunteers has not appreciably af-
frcted the home population. Why,
then, should the orphans be forgotten?
Is fear at the bottom Of it-fear that
the times may be harder? Is it there
suit Of more excitement over scare
heads in our daily papers? Well, what
ever it is. we must press home upon
the attention Of our friends the fact
that help must come at once, or there
will be very serious harm done to this

Gen. Butler Commissioned.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Major Gen.
M. G. Butler received his commission
to-day, aud he is to be ordered to
temporary duty at Camp Alyer to
assist Gen. Graham in organizing the
forces there. 1t is the intention of
the Secretary OF War to create new
military department, cumposed Of the
States along the South Atlantic coast,
and to place Gen. Butler in command.
The new department will probably
consist of North Carnina, South Gro
lima, Georgia and Florida. The sub
ject is yet under advisement, and the
location of department. headquarters
is still undecided 1t is believed
there will be lively competition be-
tween Charleston, Savannah and At
lanta for the privilege of furnishing
the site. Gen. Butler will proceed to
his home at Edge6eld, S. C., to-mor-
row, aud return here in few days
aud report at Camp AIger. In the
meantime the Secretary of War will
consider the details counected with
the establishments Of the new depart
ment Of the South.
The incidents attending the oath
taking of Gen. Butler at the war
department this afternoon were full Of
interest. Gen. Butler called at the
war department and was cordially
greeted by Secretary Alger. The
newly elected major general and the
Secretary of War INDUCED iu some
reminiscent conversation about the
late civil war, when they were leading
opposing forces in the Virginia Cam
paign. Gen Alger recalled the fact
that Gen. Butler rode hite h"rse.
which made him mark for many of
the Michigan riAemen. His horse
was shot from under him, but he
escaped unharmed. 1t was the refa-
tion Of this incident which induced
Gen. Butler to remark that he will 90
into the present war on less con-
spicuous horse. While Gen. Butl
and Secretary Alger chatted pleasantly
about the former new duties Adjt.
Gen. Corbin went over to the White
House and obtained the signature of
President Mckinley to Gen. Butler 8
commission. La the meantime the
departmental notary entered the Sec
retary's Office and administered the
';iron. clad oath to the ex-Confede-
rate general. Gen. John NJ. Wilson,
chief Of engineers, witnessed the cere-
mony, and he remarked that he could
not keep back the food of recollec-
tions of the bitter past as he grasped>
Gen. Buffers hand and warmly con-
graduated him upon his appointment.
It was a touching incident to see two
gallant old soldiers almost moved to
tears, so firm is leir bond of friend
ship and patriotic devotion.
When Gen. Corbin returned from
the Executive Mansion he brought
the commission, and also the pen the
President had used in signing it. The
pen was presented to Gen. Butler as
souvenir for his wife.-Ne,0s and

Miles's Order to the Army.

An order Of Maj. Gen. Miles, COM
manding the army, urging upon off,
GERS and privates that the faithful
observance of the laws and regulations
of the military branch is essential to
the honor aud efficiency Of the army,
was made public yesterday. 1t bears
date of Memorial Day, May 30. The
order is as follows:
After prolonged period of peace
our army is once more called upon to
engage in war in the cause Of justice
and humanity. To briug the military
forces to the highest state of efficiency
and most speedily accomplish that is
expected should be the earnest effort
and call forth the best energies of all
it's members Of whatever station.
Tie laws and regulations which
govern military bodies in civilized
countries have been developed to their
present perfection through the expe-
rieuce Of hundreds Of years. and the
faithful observance of those laws and
regulations is essential to the honor
and efficiency of the army.
All authority should be exercised
with 6rmness, equity and decorum on
the part of superiors, and should be
respected by implicit obedience and
loyal support from subordinates.
Every officer Of whatever grade will,
so far as may be in his power, guard
and preserve the health and welfare
of those under his charge. He must
labor diligently and zealously to per-
feet himself and his subordinates in
military drill, instruction and discip-
line; and, above all, he must con-
stantly endeavor, by precept and ex-
ample, to maintain the highest charac-
ter, to foster and stimulate that true
soldierly spirit and patriotic devotion
to duty which must characterize an
Amy. The Major General command
ing confidently trusts that every off
Ger and soldier in the service of the
republic, each in his proper sphere,
will contribute his most Jealous efforts
to the end that the honor and character
of the army may be preserved un-
furnished, and its best efforts crowned
with success.
This order is given upon day
sacred to the memory of the heroic
dead, whose services and sacrifices
afford us example and inspiration, and
it is expected that all will be fully
impressed with the sacred duty i'm
posed upon the army by the Govern
ment Of our beloved country.-Rosh-

The Camp at Chickamanga.

CHIcKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK.
GA, June 6-The officers at Camp
Th mas have been greatly annoyed by
the misleading and false reports sent
out from this point by special CORES
pondents touching the healthfulncss
Of the camp. Out Of the $4,000 men
now in the army here there are not
half dozen serious cases of sickness,
and the men are now getting the reg
ular allowances of every kind of feed,
and in abundance.
Capt. Rockwell, chief Of the ord
nance department, received notice to-
day that the Columbia Arsenal would
be able, by the latter part Of the pres
ent week, to supply 1900 sets Of
equipments per week. He expects to
have the army fully equipped within a
short time. He received to-day field
guns for four light batteries.
Active work is now in progress to-
wards converting the Chickamauga
Hotel property into a hospital. A
portion of the building will be ready
by the latter part Of the week for the
reception of patients.
General orders we're issued to-day
to all the regiments in camp to pro-
ceed at once to recruit their companies
to the full strength of 1O6 men.
The sham battle, which was to have
occurred to-day between the regiments
of the first division of the Sd corps,
commanded by Gen Grant, was called
off because Of the absence of Gen.
Breckinridge, and instead there were
only regimental and brigade drills.

How Long Will 1t Last I!

Widely dissimilar views as to the
war probable duration are expressed
by Admiral Bancroft Gherardi and
Gen. Daniel +. Sickles. The former
does not look for cessation Of hos
tilities in less than three years. ut
is great mistake" he told recent
interviewer, "to suppose that the
Spanish are not fighters. They have
some very good ships. Our own are
much better handled than it is possi
Bile for them to handle theirs, but
still they know how to fight their YES
sells, and we lack tremendously in the
line of torpedo boat destroyers, Of
which Spain has several s1eellent eN-
amples." OF course, the Admiral has
no doubt as to the ultimate result.
"We were not prepared for such o
condition of affairs as now exists, be
said, "but with our resources we can
remedy the defects in our navy in re-
markably short space of time" The
ex-miuister to Spain fixed year as the
limit Of the conflict, and he saw but
one end to it. "The truth about sea
power" he declared in explanation ct
his opinion. is that you must be able
not only to build ships aud to make
big guns-any one can do that-brlt
you must fight your ships, and there
are only swo Powers in the world to-day
which can win on the vater-England
and America When questioned as
to the chance that Cubs will some day
become part Of the United Staten,
Gen. Sickl.s evaded the point with
some ingenuity, and propoanded de-
oidedly curious theory As to Why We
Joined TO our declaration Of war an eZ-
plicit disavowal Of the Intention to Az
mex the island. Europe" he deolar
ed, "took this to mean desire to pla,-
cate her; it Was, in reality, only for
the reinsurance Of our own people,
whose policy has been wholly opposed
to colonial conquest. There is
enough in that view Of the case to
mike it worth the careful considers-
ton Of our Continental enemies-and
perhaps to decrease their estimate Of
our regard for their opinions.
