is as follows:
War Department, August %, 1902.
Sir-I have the honor to state that
your application for authority to in
spect that portion of the army serving
in the Philippines is approved by the
president. You will sail about the
18th of September, and in inspecting
the condition of the army will give
particular attention to it's instruction,
discipline and to supplies of all
kinds"
1t is the understanding that in that
capacity, though of superior rank,
General Miles will not interfere in
any way with either General Chaffee
or his successor, General Davis, in
the direction of the army in the Phil
ippines. He will critically examine
the conditions as he finds them, devot-
ing his attention entirely to matters
of army administration and not to pc.
litical affairs, and the results of his
work will be embodied in a set OF
reports.
Allowing a month for a tour of in

Weimar is better and more favorably

On a certain occasion the grand duke

to see one of the criminals.

A DESERTER
FROM u. S. ARMY

A case at court Yesterday inyliyiu.
the charge of larceny as baiIee was
brought summarily to close by the
discovery that the defendant had the
more serious charge Of doscrtion from
the regular army to answer for.
The case was that of Commonwealth
VS.. Elmer @. Halderman who was ar
rested and in default of bail committed
to Jail i'll September 10. Halderman en-
listed at Williamsport OH April "A,
1901. When he appeared in Danville
during the past summer our local
police who were aware of his enlist
ment suspected that he had deserted
and they addressed a letter to the Ad-
Jutant General, War Department, max
ing inquiries. In reply our Chief of
Police received n letter from Major
III. y. Greene, Assistant Adjutant
General, who stated that Elmer G.
Halderman was deserter at large,
having run away from Fort Sam
Houston, Texas, where he was a mem
Der of the 18th U. S. Cavalry.
Halderman pleaded guilty to the
charge on which he was arrested. The
court however upon learning that the
defendant was wanted by the United
States authorities suspended sentence.
In day or so Halderman will be tax =
en- to New York by Officer Voris and
delivered over into the governments S

A Good Circus.

Welsh Bros. shows drew two fair
sized audiences, despite the inclement
weather yesterday afternoon and even
ing, and better satisfied spectators
never left circus tent. From the
time the grand entry took place until
the close of the performance, the acts
followed each other quickly, and there
was just enough to keep the eyes and
mind busy and not enough to confuse
one, as is the case with the three
ring shows. The performances furn-
ished two full hours of solid enjoy
ment, including some of the very best
acts to be seen i'll any circus. The
trained animals are wonderful. The
clowns are very funny. Best of all
they speak their pieces and do not rely
alone on pantOminc TO make good in
the humOr line. Welsh Brothers have
enlarged their show to great extent
and it is their intention to make it
even larger next season. Their per-
formances are always clean and in

WHERE PAIN MOST HURTS.
Extreme Sensftiveness of the Fifth
and Dental Nerves.

md Dental Nerves.
Which part of the human body is
the most sensitive to pain?
A sharp definition must be drawn
here between irritation and pain. lrri-
Nation is not pain, but only a frequent
cause of It. Thus, a crumb lodged In
the larynX near the vocal cords pro
duced violent irritation and prolonged
coughing, which often results in actual
pain. SO, too Il fly or speck Of dust in
the eye sets up violent irritation and
Inflammation followed by acute pain.
OF the surface of the body, the finger
tips and the end of the tongue are most
sensitive. For instance, burn on the
fingers is much more painful than one
on the back would be, while one on the
tongue would be more painful still.
Deep wounds are not painful, as a
rule, save as regards the surface in
jury. OF pains not caused by external
injuries, neuralgia of the fifth nerve,
the one which supplies the skin of the
head and face, is the most intense. 1t
has frequently driven people mad for
the time being, and sufferers have been
known to cut and even burn the flesh
in desperate attempts to relieve it. The
rupture of the branches of the dental
nerve in tooth drawing also causes
agony so intense that it has been stated
that no human being could endure 1t
