From Tampa.

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. E. Blake have re-
ceived letter from their son,
Charles, who is in camp at Tampa,
Florida, dated June 4th. He says;
awe have been at this place now
three weeks today. The army here
is growing daily, both by additions to
the present regiments and arrival Of
volunteers. There are a good many
Thousand troops here of all branches
of the service. Our company is now
103 strong, it's full size. There have
People here say that they believe
we will 20 on to Cuba soon, but the
army is really not yet ready. 1 do
not understand why the contractors
cannot fill their orders for the govern
ment faster. The transports at the
port are all ready and nearly all
loaded except with troops, and they
are massing here now quite heavily,
There was parade OF four regiments
back Of our camp day before yester-
day, after which they were reviewed
by Gen. Miles. The parades are the
greatest nuisance that we have, being
very tiresome and teaching US moth
ing. What we like is the battalion
and regimental drills. where we 60
through the regular form of battle,
getting behind trees, stumps and
everything that will help to screen
US. Then we have outpost duties,
such as placing a guard around our
camp or protecting and holding
piece of railroad. Day before yester-
day we had practice march OF about
six miles out and back. While out,
we formed to protect party landing
from transports. In that, we formed
in half circle out from the landing
place and then threw up entrench-
ments to protect ourselves with.
Then the officer in command had the
whole explained to the recruits.

MCCALL ACQUITTED.
The Jury Finds That He Did Not Commit
Forgery.

The jury in the case of John Nc Call,
accused of forgery in the second de-
gree, did not come to an agreement
until eleven o'clock last night. A
sealed verdict was then brought in,
and was opened at nine o'clock this
morning. 1t found the defendant not
guilty. The other Indictment against
Mccall was then dismissed, and Nc
Call was discharged from custody. 1t
is said that the first ballot taken by
the jury stood seven for acquittal and
five for conviction.
The expert testimony for the de-
tense established the fact that Nc
Call could not have written the en-
dorsement on the check. The experts
were shown undoubted samples Of his
writing, and it was established that
his writing was so different from that
Of the endorsed words mike Kelley"
that he could not have written the
latter readily and in the easy hand
that they are written in. The en-
dorsement was written at the saloon
where the check was passed. The
jury was not satisfied that Mccall
had been positively identified as the
one who passed the check, aside from
the endorsement. The police and
those who have examined the hand
writing have been of the opinion that
Mccall was not the right man.

Americans In the Navy.

One notable and commendable feat
ure about the torpedo feet To- in this
harbor is the fact that the crews are
made up of Americans. There is
scarcely a foreign countenance to be
seen, and good, expressive United
States is the language of the feet.
The men are big; strong, healthy
young fellows, with ruddy cheeks and
clear eyes. They are the kind of men
that a good judge would pick to dam
gerous work in defense of their coun-
try, and there is no doubt that these
men-the men behind the guns" upon
whom depends the honor and effective
ness of the craft-would be found
equal to the occasion should an emer-
gency arise. 1t is to be hoped that 1t
will not be long before Assistant Sec
rotary Roosevelt will have the news Of
the greater ships of the navy Amer
icanized' up to the standard Of the
torpedo fleet.

The Duty of Christians

AT a recent meeting of the Central
pennsylvania Synod Of the Lutheran
church. the following resolution, de.
terminative of the duties of Christians
OF hat denomination towards the tenn:
perance cause, was passed:
Resolved, That in u Judgment as
synod, domestic wines and ~so-callet
hard cider" in the houses of our PEG.
pie are a menace to the moral welfars
and sobriety of our young people.
Resolved, That in our judgment, no
communicate member of the church
should ever sign a petition for license.
as such an act is inconsistent with the
baptismal confirmation promise to re-
nounce 1.-THE devil and all his works.
Resolved. That the Individual Chris
tian should be a total abstainer from
all intoxicating drinks as a beverage,
because of the influence Of his exam
pie. and,
That the state should adopt abso-
lutte constitutional prohibition as the
only consistent way for the state to
deal with intoxicants as a beverage.

The Chicago Medical Missionary
Training school is an differentiation
al school of practical philanthropy just
established by several philanthropic
people, in the large building at 1926
Wabash avenue, Chicago until recent

Friendless). Its purpose is to prepare
Christian Dung men and women to la
Dor in city missionary and rescue

comes from society's downtrodden and
outcast. Each course Of study will
last one year, and includes unsectarian
Biblical instruction in Gospel princi-
pies, elementary physiology, medical
nursing, hygiene, sanitation, emer-
gency relief and practical philan-
thropy. The students spend part of
each day in classes and part in practi-
cal work, such as friendly visiting and
district nursing among the poor and
destitute sick, as we'll as holding cot
tage gospel and health meetings. About
one hundred of these meetings are now
being held each weeK. There are at
present one hundred and fifty students,
but there Is room for at least five hum
dred in the building. Consecrated
young men inc women are received as
students without regard to their creed,
provided they are prepared to devote
their lives to gospel philanthropic
work. Students are furnished with
room and tuition free of charge and
boarded IN the European plan, costing
from 81 to SLIPS per week for meals
and ~incidentals. The building is steam
heated and very comfortable. The in
structors are physicians, trained med
ical nurses and pnilanthropic workers,
all of whom give their services free.
There is in the building a free medical
dispensary, free bath, and laundry for
women and children, day nursery, free
kindergarten and Kindergarten, and
also a home finding department for
friendless men, women and children. 1t
will furnish Christian families all
through the country with children to
adopt or men and women to work, as
well al care for the homeless until
placed in families. Sixty friendless
young girls have been rescued and put
in Christian homes in the past six
months.
