British agents are securing the
Continent buying horses TO take the
place of those requisitioned from the
cavalry depots. The London Omni-
bus Company and the principal car
rying companies have been asked by
the War Office to sell their surplus
horses, and they have to some extent
complied.

carried on in all the great manufact-
urng and agricultural centres, and
the war fever is stimulated to supply
recruits, chiefly in London, where the
Increase last week was IS per cent.
The war press Is pursuing policy
calculated TO make all settlement Inn
possible that does not involve not
merely the submission but the humil-
iation OF the Transvaal.

The Youngest Officer in the U. s. Navy.

In view of the approach of Chad
wick Day it may be interesting to
our local readers to know that the
youngest officer ever in the u. S.
Navy, lives in Morgantown in the
person of Dr. S. V. Leech. When
but fifteen he was appointed "Cap.
tain's clerk to Commander John X.
Mitchell of the man of-war, Fulton,
and served on the Home Squadron,
visiting numerous West India Is
lands and South American ports.
When sixteen he resigned to study
for the ministry. Mitchell became
afterwards the confederate admiral
who defended New Orleans when
Ben Butler captured the city. Two
OF the passed midshipmen" OF the
Fulton are now retired Rear Admi
rails. Aaron Ward Weaver and John
Irwin. Commander Brown, of this
city was well acquainted with the off
GERS of the Fulton and it's other chief
officers, Lieutenants Watson Smith
and Henry Wilson, Purser Marcy
and Chief Engineers Long and kim
ball. DR.. Leech constantly reads up
naval matters and keeps posted in
the improvements of our war ships
There were no monitors or iron ciads
in the navy when he was in the ser
vice and the Fulton no longer floats
on the sea.

READY TO GO.
Lieutenant White Waits for
Transportation.

Will Take His Men to Wheeling Three
Recruits Obtained in Morgantown
They will go TO Fort Leavenworth
Immediately No Further orders have
Been Issued.
Lieutenant w. j. White has fin
ished his work here of recruiting
and is ready to leave for Wheeling
with the men that he has secured.
They are three in number Des
Moines TIT, Alexander Malcolm and
John Shay. Each of these men will
make good soldiers.
UT is graduate of the military
department of the University and is
now a captain in the cadet corps. He
passed the examination all right and
came very near to the requirements
in every particular.
Malcolm is member of the local
company National Guards and is a
sergeant in the organization He
has served in the First Florida vol
unteers and is soldier In every
sense of the term.
Shay is the only one who has not
had any military training but he
will take to it like duck to water
as he is bright boy and will learn
rapidly.
A number Of other men wanted in
but they failed to pass the severe
tests that are being applied and
failed to their great sorrow to be en-
rolled in the volunteers.
Orders have been sent for Lieu
tenant White to report in Wheeling
with his men where he will take
charge of the rest of the recruits
that have been raised in the state
and take them to Fort Leavenworth
where they will be put to work to
get them in shape for the coming
campaign IN the Philippines.
No official orders have been issued
for the regiment any further than to
rendezvous at Fort Leavenworth but
it is expected that it will soon be
sent to Manila for service.
Everyone bids the men God speed
and hopes that they will have as
pleasant an experience as possible.
They will leave Morgantown this eve
ming or in the morning.

Cut This Out.

The Scientific American gives this
recipe, which the whole world ought
to know:
Sat the first indication of diph-
liberia in the throat of a child, make
ohe room close, then take cup ara
pour into it quantity of tar and tur-
pentine, equal parts; then hold the
cup over fire, so as to I'LL the room
with fumes. The little patient on
inhaling the fumes will cough up and
spit out all the membraneous matter,
and the dIphtheria will pass out. The
fumes Of the tar and turpentine
loosen the matter in the throat and
thus afford the relief that has baffied
the skill of physicians"

ter yaccinate.
The smallpox that has been vex-
ing Fayette county, Pa, this sum
mer does not show much signs OF
abatement but on the contrary looks
like it meant TO do more damage be
fore the winter was through. The
following special from Uniontown
tells of the spread Of the disease:
The smallpox epidemic, which has
been raging in the mountain dis
triets of Bullskin, Saltliek and
Springfield townships, is spreading
at an alarming rate. About 30 cases
have broken out near Jesse Jones
mill on the Westmoreland side of
the county line. The Springfield
township school board met to-day
and organized board of health
The health authorities are very
mach stirred up over this state Of
affairs in our neighboring county
and they are now taking very active
steps to stamp it out. They have
been working on 1t all summer and
fall but they have seemingly not
paid enough attention to the matter.
Locally there is no alarm felt over
the spread of the disease which u
few years ago was so much feared
Everyone feels that there is no dan
ger and it is remote. However it
will be a good plan for everyone who
has not already done so to be vaeci-
nateds 1t will do no harm and it
may do great lot of good.
There are number Of sore arms
in town but there should be great
many more of them. THE approach
of cold weather will be good time
for the disease to spread fit is go
ing to get out of its present limits J.
1t may be kept there as the Fayette
county people think they can do it
but there is certainly no danger in
erring on the safe side.
