LIFE IN THE CAMP
IN MANOA VALLEY
Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION Members Have
Pleasure.
Especial Correspondence.)

Y. NJ. c. A. SUMMER CAMP, Manoa
at the camp and everyone got up early
to clean house in anticipation of an influx
of visitors. Quite a number of the men,
bers' relatives and several sightseers put
III an appearance and were conducted ov-
er the little settlement. Many of the
Injuries to go with the camp fare. Lewis
& Sons, the grocery firm, remembered the
young men with a substantial present of
candy and fruit which, needless to say,
was much appreciated.
Saturday was spent in long tramp,
after which a baseball practice and pota-
TO races were the order of the afternoon.
The energy being shown by members of
the camp argues well for the invigorating
qualities of the Manoa valley air.
On Sunday short services were held and
hymns sung. Several instructive readings
were given and in the afternoon the boys
took short walks cooled off in the
swimming hole, which is now quite COM
plete.
Yesterday quite a large expedition start
ed up one of the peaks in search of choice
varieties of land shells, led by an old ma
tive. The tramp was the longest yet I'M
dertaken and the pedestrians were will
ing to admit that they were not sorry
when camp was reached, late in the aft
ernoon.
There are two large fioored tents in the
camp, one of which is used for sleeping
purposes and the other as a social hall
and dining-room.
The camp is aroused at $50 a. m. and
at $50 p. m. Taps is sounded Secre-
tory Coleman acts as the camp medico
and each evening the crowd under his
care has to pass his medical eye and re-
ceive treatment for sore thumbs, sprained
toes or blistered cuticle.
+ The Juniors will break camp and re-
/ turn to town tomorrow with lasting i'm
pressions of ten days enjoyably spent.
and will look forward with eager antici-
patton to next July and renewal of the
recent good times spent camping in the
valley of Manoa.
/ The Seniors will go into camp on Thurs
day to the number of probably a dozen
the majority of whom VIII, owing &c
pressure of business, go to the valley in
the afternoon, sleep under the stars, ans
return to town after breakfast each
morning.
The mixed camp for members and theil
wives will follow. These campers viii
have the use of the tents but will be ex.
pected to furnish their own food ant
cocks.

Washington, May 15.-The postmaster
general, after protracted interview
with the president, announced that
Joseph L. Bristow, fourth assistant
postmaster general, would proceed to
Havana tomorrow to take charge of the
postal affairs of Cuba. The postmaster
general declined to say whether or not
Rathbone would be suspended. Gen.
eral Bristow outranks the director Of
posts, and the latter might operate as
d subordinate, though on this point no
statement is vouchsafed. Further than
the announcement that Bristow would

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS.
Probability That the ST. Louis Street Railway
Troubles Will Be Speedily Terminated.

St. Louis, May ia conference was
held yesterday between the officials OF
the Suburban Railway company, the only
system in ST. Louis rot controlled by the
ST Louis Transit company, and on which
a strike was tnaugurated 10 days prior
10 that declared on the Transit system,
and the officials and employees of that
road, and an amicable adjustment was
effected, and the men returned TO work
today. 1t can be positively stated that
the union received full recognition.
In many quarters it is figured that the
settlement Of the strike on the Suburban
presages an adjustment of the Difficult
ties between the Transit company and
its $500 striking employees in the neal
future. In fact it is known that at
conference held between the officials OF
the Transit company the chairman OF
the employees grievance committee, and
some of the members of the citizens
committee, matters were adjusting
themselves for a settlement of the diff
culties, when member Of the citizens
committee injected into the proceedings
a proposition of such a character that
the discussion was brought to a close
with matters no nearer a settlement
than before 1t is thought, however,
that a future meeting of the same par.
ties will result in establishing basis for
the settlement of the strike.

Testing Canned Food.

Among the most prehensible pro-
ceedings to be observed within the vast
area of Woolwich reserve depot are the
doings of small party of officials, one of
whom appears to do nothing all day
long but sit at a table and tap on the
top of tin canisters with a couple of bits
of stick something after the manner of a
child beating on the upturned end of his
drum. The tins are passed before him
about as fast as he can tap them, and
absolutely nothing seems to come OF the
game. To the unenlightened onlooker it
is quite unintelligible. The tins contain
meat, and before they are passed into
the store it is, of course, important to
examine the condition OF what is in
closed, and this in fact is the way it is
done. The trained ear of the expert ex-
aminer can tell whether the meat is in a
wholesome or putrid condition by the
sound emitted when raped with the
stick, just as the examiner of railway
carriage wheels is supposed to be able to
tell whether the wheel he taps with his
hammer is cracked or not. The rapidity
with which the business is gone through
and the seeming inattention of the per
former with the sticks, and his total in
difference to all sorts of noises about him,
render the procedure very curious one
to watch. The test is said to be practi-
cally iafallible,- London News.

Lynn, Mass, May 15.-George H.
Watt left his house after dark last night
and had occasion to return. He saw a
man enter the front door by using a key.
and a second stranger followed. Watt
had a revolver in his pocket and he
quietly entered the front door and or
dered the men to elevate their hands or
he would shoot them. The men saw
that Watt had the gun in his hand and
they complied. Then Watt yelled until
several neighbors ran in Word was
sent to the police, who gathered in the
men. On one was a stick pin belonging
to Watt.

BACKWARDNESS OF SEASON
DOubiIess.SaVed Large Portion Of the Crops
From Destruction by Cold Weather.

Boston, May 15.-Following is a state
ment Of the weather and crop conditions
Of New England, compiled from the .-e-
poyts of weather bureau correspondents
throughout the section, for the week
ending May "A:
The continued cool and clouded
weather has been most unfavorable for
! vegetable growth. The severe freezes
! of the past week have, perhaps, wrought
| greater damage than the uninterrupted
| low temperatures of the two weeks pre-
ceding. The entire damage cannot yet
be estimated, but reports affirm the loss
of tender vegetables, and all fruit buds
that were open. Several correspondents
state that the peach crop has been
ruined, and the strawberry yield re-
duced one-half The fact that the
season has retarded the development OF
the buds, perhaps, insures the safety Of
other fruit.
The preparation OF the soil for seeding,
except in the northern portion of New
England, is in advance of the season.

tinue to delay seeding, because of the

The stalk is short, but thrifty. Very
little corn has been planted. The early

wore gown which attracted a good

plain dress, but interesting from the fact
that it is considerably over 100 years
old, having been brought from England

The FOrger Caught.

A telegram was received here yesterday
noon from Frank D. Hale of Havana
announcing that Walter H. Bayley OIL
/ Peacham was under arrest. AS an.
nounced in last weeks paper he fed from
/ New York to Cuba, though it now turns
QUO that he stayed in New York nearly a
week, registering at the Ashland House.
He sailed for Havana Thursday and
was promptly arrested after be reached
there. The officers are busily at work
getting out extradition papers and when
Gov. Smith makes out the necessary
papers an officer will be sent for him.
He will be brought to St. Johnsbury to
await his trial before the grand jury in
June.
Mr.. Bayley's forgeries will be more
than announced in last weeks paper and
perhaps the end has not been reached
vet. Col. George B. NJ. Harvey of New
York, who is his brother-in.law, appears
on bis notes for $1,000, and he has
written the holders of these notes that
he never signed his name, Hon. Charles
J. Bells name is forged on two notes,
and other forgeries are the late E. c.
Blanchard of Peacham, Mrs. Ira l..
McClary OF Peacham, Hiram Moody,
Andrew Whitehil, both of Peacham,
and probably Others. All Of these notes
are held by Peacham parties and none of
them can afford to lose the money.
1t also transpires that Mr.. Bayley has
been operating along these lines for seve-
raj years and that some of these parties
whose names are now forged had been
caught the same way in years past.
The case promises many sensational de-
velopments unless he pleads guilty and
takes his sentence from the court with
out trial.
