HONOLULU.
Soldier Life In the Finest of Our
New Possessions.
A Letter From James E. CarOn, Of Bat.
terry N, Sixth Artillery, Who
is Stationed In Honolulu.

Several months ago James Caron and
Charles Stratton, two of our we'll known
and popular young men, enlisted in the
artillery services OF the United States.
They had both been out with the Third
Ohio Regiment and held the ranks of
Corporal in Company "F." Last Satur.
day Frank Caron received letter from
his brother and kindly permitted US to
make the following extracts therefrom
CAMP MCKINLEY, HONOLULU
H. l., May Goth, 1899. !
DEAR BRoTHER:-Am we'll and hope
this finds you the same. Haven't re.
ceived any mail since we reached here
and have been looking for letter
from you. 1t takes three weeks for mail
to reach us from the States though and
letter may probably be on the road.
We have beautiful place TO soldier
here. There are four batteries OF us.
The balance of our regiment has gone on
to Manila We will no doubt go there
too before long. Charley stratton is on
his way to Manila now. He passed
through here last week and stopped over
for couple of days. We were together
while he was here. Was sorry we both
couldn't get in the same battery.
wish you could see this place as
can't begin to describe the beauty of it
Itis just like one continuous park every
where. There are fruit and flowers o.
all kinds. The temperature ranges from
70 to 80 degrees the whole year. Oul
barracks are near Queen Lil's palace and
grounds which are very fine and pictur
esque looking. The town has some
very fine residences and is comparative
ly an American town.
We don't wear the blue uniform here
/ have two kshki uniforms, three white
duck suits, white helmet, campaign
hat, white forage cap, and russell shoes

Needs a Hard Job.

A New York man has filed petition
in bankruptcy, claiming that the in
come of $4,000 year which he re-
ceives from his grandfather's estate is
not sufficient to enable him to keep
his debts paid. The Chicago Times
Herald suggests that what that poor
fellow needs is job that will keep him
good and busy about II hours a day.

We look more like crowd of sports

we lOOk ulOIo ike cTOWO Ol bpOTUb
than soldiers.
A person doesn't care for anything to
drink here unless he is regular topper.
Beer is one bit glass and thirty cents a
quart. Instead of whiskey they have a
drink called swipes. 1t is fifty cents a
gallon and quart will make you drunk
and keep you that way for several days.
Besides the natives there are Ameri
cans, English, Portuguese, Chinese and
Japanese. The natives look like cross
between the American Indian and negro.
Back in the mountains the natives are
uncivilized. They 60 practically naked.
Don't know what marriage is and have
kids by the score. Around town they
dress like other people, have schools
and are very intelligent.
Everybody treats US with the greatest
respect and courtesy and we are the
"whols thing" here. Still I wouldn't
care to spend my three years service
here. The probabilities are we will be
on the way to Manila inside the next
month. We can't tell when the orders
may be changed though.
We only drill one hour day and rest
most of that time. If it is not too much
trouble l wish you would send me a
paper occasionally. 1t is the only way
we ever get any news. Nothing would
please me better than paper from
home.
Regards to all inquiring friends.
Your Brother,
