when Private il Ordered to Care for
COmrade suffering from Dreaded
Disease He Does His Duty
UnnInchinEly.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-The epidemic
Of cholera has been particularly hard upon
the medical corps of the army stationed
in the Philippine islands and the casualty
lists received here show that the sur
geons and the hospital corps have borne
their share Of the suffering.

a copy of one of the orders in which these
casualties are announced. as follows;
The death OF Private Joseph G. NJ. Else
man, hospital corps, United States army, is
announced.
Private Eiseman was detailed to face
death as q cholera nurse Tor one
of his comrades and died from the disease,
caught from his charge, an example of de-
votion to duty to be held up for all men
to emulate.
Private Leonard B. Stephenson, hospital
corps, United States army, was detailed
to nurse both comrades. with the knowl-
edge that his predecessor had been cut down
while performing the same duty. Without
a murmLr he responded and remained
until the sod covered his plague-stricken
charges and now he returns to his routine
duties.
The men Of this who have
faced death amidst the whistle OF bullets
and the excitement of a fight can readily
appreciate the courage to daily await his
approaching death in the presence OF one
today, and the commanding officer makes
this an opportunity to acknowledge that
duty well done the highest aim OF a
soldier is a goal Private Stephenson has
reached.
This order will be published at parade

inspection OF the hospital corps on the
31st inst.

PLAN FOR NAMING INDIANS
Patent Medicine Men Spring scheme
ON Omaha Reserva-
ton.

7. J. Baird, agent for a patent medicine
manufacturing house at Chattanooga, has
introduced a new system of nomenclature
among the Indians Of the Omaha reserva-
ton. The system is said to be an i'm
provement over that which has obtained
for ages OF picking out some eccentricity
Of the papoose and making his name con-
form to 1t, and 1t is alleged further that 1t
will dispense will such picturesque titles
as Sammy = Make = Room = for Your Uncle,
Hole-in-the-Day and the like. The salient
feature of the plan is to give the papoose
q surname which, by a strange coincidence.
is also the name Of one Of the brands OF
medicine made by Mr.. Baird's house and
then tack on to the front part of 1t a
given" name which shall have a logical
connection with the urname.
For example, the Chattanooga house ia
making a kind of cordial the exact name
of which is not essential to this account
Jimpson Weed cordial will do. All Of the
papooses of a family are given this as a
~patronymic and then, as a Christian
name, such appellations as "I-Swear-By,'
"After-Taking," "Your-D ruggist-Sells -
"~Nothing-Like," ct cetera are bestowed
upon the individuals. This make the
complete name, "I-swear-B -Jimpson-
w e e d-Cordial,'' "Your-Druggist-sells-
Jimpson- weed-C Cordial" and the like,
thereby combining utility with a good,
ssrviceable name that is easily remem-
bered.
MY plan is to get the permission Of the
federal authorities to take eighteen or
twenty Of these Indians to the louisiana
Purchase exposition at st. Louis. The
naming OF them Is merely a detail and
ia rather you wouldn't say anything about
that Just at present. 1t Isn't supposed
thai the Indians will take these names
permanently in preference to their own,
though Of course II they should choose 10
do so we would have no objection. The
names will be engraved on beautiful
bronze, silver and gold medals and worn
about the necks or as badges.
A the Indians I talked with took kindly
to the plan and the agent interposed nc
objection. though Of course he was not In
a position to give permission to take his
wards on the reservation. The Indians
will be taken good care Of and will be paid
for their services"
Mr.. Baird called upon several ofieers al
the federal building yesterday to Socure
their endorsement Of his plan.
This may explain the many peculiar
names which representatives Of the Cauca-
sian race are compelled to carry through
life" said Marshal Mathews. such names
for instance, as Dink Bolts, ABB SlupskI
and Pod Dismuke. For all we know they
may be the survivors Of some such enter
prise as this"

GAMBLING AT LONG BRANCH
Grand Jury Convened by Judge to
Make investigation of
the Matter.

FREEHOLD. N. j.. July 23.-The Mon
mouth county grand jury convened here
today and received a charge concerning
gambling from Justice Fort.
The Justice said he had been compelled
to call the jury together to meet a condi-
ton Of AFFAIRS which was shockingly vi
cious. He said the Long Branch gambling
clubs were closed by the court last year.
In May of. this year licenses had been ap-
piled for by caterers who had been vouched
for as not Identified with gambling.
These applicants had been granted IL
oenses after they had filed with the clerk
Of the court a written agreement that nc
gambling paraphernalia would be allowed
on their premises. Justice Fort said that
since then information had been brought
to him that twelve large gambling estab-
lishments and a number Of smaller ones
were running openly at Long Branch.

be a most profitable one. Heretofore our
manufactures have been seriously handi-
capped BY the fact that ali their shipments

then be re-shipped to Greece, making the
expense too heavy to sell against competi-

American line will run steamers every
month directly. and the expense will be re-
duced and other advantages follow.
Greek Interest in America.
The Greeks are a very enterprising peo-
pie, with good business ability, and their
market is highly desirable, for they import
all manufactures and export heavily in
grapes, wines and currants. OF Zantie cur
rants alone they have exported to America
no less than so, 900, 900 or 80, 900, 900 pounds
within the past year. And these can only
be raised about the Gulf Of Corinth. Ten
miles back in the country the soil won'l
produce them.
Fruit. however, is not their only ex-
port. The Greeks themselves are coming
to America in greater numbers than ever
before, l believe. Shortly before / left
Athens, two steamers sailing within three
weeks, carried to this country 1880 Greeks.
others who came first have written back
telling Of the business opportunities here
and the letters have apparently persuaded
a general immigration.
Nor are the Greeks totally unfamiliar
with Americans as more Americans visit
Greece thar people of any other ma
tionality. Last winter in Athens there
must have been at least $500 and possibly
5000 Americans. Only a very few take
residence there, however. as the summers
are intensely warm to offset the winters
which are ideal"
